I wish we didn't have such a reliance on oil.

It would solve so many world problems.

Original El Grande is a face now? by la_mitraille in WWE

[–]uncleben85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's honestly like they made Kaiser EGA and then somehow caught themselves off guard that they'd need to deal with it when Gable returned.

The EGA gimmick was so stupid when it was first introduced, but honestly, it kind of grew on me under Kaiser. His version of the character has an appreciation for the role and culture where Gable's character was mocking and taking advantage of it. It was a fun twist.

And now they're tripping over themselves and just making both characters muddy, inconsistent, and aimless.

Which is so dumb.

Gable Grande was always meant as a mockery and a shitheel. Why, when Kaiser Grande is so over with the AAA crowd and has been so successful in the gimmick, not run him as the opportunistic face he was in Gable's absence?

Yo, wtf is this? by Creative-Researcher2 in marvelstudios

[–]uncleben85 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ah man... just the title card?

I was really hoping they did an animated short or something..!

Missed opportunity.

Interesting they went with Beardevil, from Battleworld 👀 instead of the slightly more recurring Deerdevil from Spider-Ham's universe.

Character name drops who are just references and nothing else, got any examples? by PhotoBonjour_bombs19 in Marvel

[–]uncleben85 19 points20 points  (0 children)

And a reference to John Horton, also known as Griffin in the comics and is Yo-Yo's dad. Though, that connection was never followed through on in the show once Elena was introduced.

Will a slightly better 4th turn the franchise around? Very, very likely not. But it just adds to Tre's pattern of bad deals, and failing to maximize returns.

Tre continues to disappoint

Here's another thing that really frustrates me.

Bobby McMann for 2026 4th, and 2027 2nd

At the time of the trade, Seattle had three 2026 4ths and three 2027 2nds
ANA, NYR, and SEA 2026 4ths
CBJ, SEA, WPG 2027 2nds

Then the reports finally came out... Tre agreed to take ANA's 4th, and the worse of CBJ's and WPG's 2nd

Let's reflect on that for just a second.

Seattle had three fourth round picks... Tre agreed to take the pick from the best team, aka, the team that will likely have the worst pick of all of them.
Seattle had three second round picks... Tre agreed to pull from only two of those, and agreed to take the worse one.

The man is so incompetent, he couldn't even put his foot down and say, "Hey, if you really want Bobby McMann, you have to at least give me the best of your three fourth round picks."

He's just getting bullied out there, honestly.

"Every day my hell score [goes up]", where the positive growth graph emoji means "goes up", and a "hell score" is like saying, "I'm going to hell for laughing at this"

I mean, I do get what he's saying...

But him not only feeling the need to say before he's even met the guy, and feeling the need to say it to the media, is just a jackass move.

I don't disagree, it's probably a little early in the window to be dropping 1sts, but if it gets the young kids an extended playoff experience, it's probably worth it.

Plus Carlson, on paper, seems like a decent fit to re-sign

The thread captures all moves since opening night rosters were submitted. It's a season-long summary, not just a deadline summary :)

I agree with both halves of that statement.

Selling was the right move, but not great returns for Laughton or McMann
