2019 WRESTLING PODCAST DISCUSSIONS

I'm a pedantic asshole, I know, but it's *uninterested -
Stuff. Not good. Not bad. Just...stuff.

God damn. That's why I went with Internet only (like $85) and Sling, Netflix, HBO Now, etc. Even being nickeled and dimed like that, it's still cheaper than my old cable plus Internet bill. Actually, I just saved $10 by making a small change to my mobile billing so T-Mobile pays my Netflix now.

Landlords. Fucking landlords. What a racket. I really love the "renew for one year with a 10% increase or go month to month......with a HYOOOOOGE increase" bullshit. When we bought our house four years ago, we had to break the lease, which had a few months left on it. They wanted the 60 days' rent plus a fine equal to another month to break it. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. So it was like a little more than $4500 they wanted so we could get out and buy a house. I sent letters and bitched them out on the phone a few times, especially making the point that these luxury-ass apartments turned over really fast and there's no way they'd be out that money with us leaving. I even said "look, I'll pay you a month and if nobody rents this place in 30 days, I'll give you one more month!" They eventually gave up and let us out with one month, which I made up because my mortgage had a one month gap after signing where I didn't have to pay out of pocket. Still, what a load of bullshit. I understand the need to cover themselves but that was just a crazy. They do shit like this because people typically don't fight them. How is anyone supposed to get out of renting and into owning like this?- 2,468 replies

JULY 2019 WRESTLING TALK.
Technico Support replied to The Natural's topic in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
I was on the green board (oh man) years ago back when you didn't even need to log in to post, so that had to be early 2000s I guess. I left for a while after and came back a few years ago with a new name and face. People probably wouldn't remember my old alias, JerseyKidd LOL jk about that last part, dudes.. -
He finally covered the tramp stamp BTW

Well come on now. They're independent contractors. When my plumber leaves my house and gets a DUI, I'm not responsible. ? -
Vince has sure come a long way since his days of not wanting to hire Gail Kim because he could not fathom how anyone could find an Asian woman attractive.

The Viceland Wrestling Documentaries
Technico Support replied to Nice Guy Eddie's topic in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
It's quite possible, I'll definitely give you that. There's absolutely a possibility that Vince, body guy/size queen that he is, just looked at Butterbean, thought he was fat, and figured there's no way he'd win a fight. I mean this is the same Vince who didn't know who Frank Shamrock was and, seeing him for the first time, just figured he could probably take him in a fight because Shamrock is short. -

JR's blind love for all things Oklahoma Sooners got him worked into a shoot. Jock sniffer was so starstruck by Doc he legit believed the guy could win any fight with anyone. Anything can happen in a real fight. They should have just had BFA be all real fights but have guys take a dive against Doc. -
JULY 2019 WRESTLING TALK.

Vince talks/writes like what a dumb person thinks a smart person sounds like. Five dollar words all over the place. I WOULD LIKE TO INITIATE COITUS WITH YOU IF YOU ARE AMENDABLE TO IT -
JULY 2019 WRESTLING TALK.
Technico Support replied to The Natural's topic in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
Yep, I remember all that. But what I'm talking about is, Meltzer told a story of Vince literally writing a letter to someone with some sort of power, trying to get WCW kicked off TV or something. It was akin to telling you friend's parents that they had cheated at football or something. Really lame. -
JULY 2019 WRESTLING TALK.
Technico Support replied to The Natural's topic in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
I'm racking my brain trying to remember the details, but didn't Vince write a letter to someone trying to get WCW pulled off TV at some point? And now he's throwing out vague, concern-trolling dry snitching in investor calls? You'd think the guy with the huge grapefruits would be above bitch moves. -

Technico Support replied to Nice Guy Eddie's topic in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
Yeah, I didn't even consider that. They put an untrained fighter in the ring with a guy who had been fighting pro, with a good record, for five years. -

Technico Support replied to Nice Guy Eddie's topic in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
I mean, it is a little seedy to put a bunch of untrained guys, who pretend to fight for a living, into actual shootfights. It's pretty unseemly and maybe a look into how Vince views his employees (sorry, independent contractors) that he figured there's nothing wrong with having them legitimately fight each other. There's a callousness regarding worker treatment and throughline of having people do something dangerous because they don't have a lot of choice in the matter or think their job may be on the line that runs from here to the death of Owen Hart. There's a grossness of a rich guy taking advantage of the imbalance of money and power between him and his workers to pull some shit like this. I mean, there are definitely dark angles to this. Like these guys are nothing more than trained circus animals under Vince's big top and if he wants that bear to dance, then dammit pal he's gonna dance. -

I never realized how much I wanted an in-depth expose of Brawl for All until this moment. -
jesus, that screen grab is unfortunate

Tore every muscle in his back and he wasn't even sure until he got to the ring that The Boss was gonna do the job, jack!

I don't ignore anyone. Even if I seriously disagree with something they say today, they may have something valid tomorrow. Or, at the very least, maybe they're entertaining. There are a few people who post massive blocks of text and others whose opinions are just usually ridiculous to me, but I just skim or scroll past them. As others have said, there's something kind of shitty about just blocking every post by someone. It's also easy for them to figure out they're blocked, which sucks. I had a guy here block me because I used the term "fake fighting." Understand, I use that when people are taking this shit way too seriously, not to deride what anybody does for a living. But this guy, I guess, is a worker of some sort (though I've never heard of him), and I guess he had to stand up for the beyond reproach sanctity of dudes in their drawers pretending to fight, so I got blocked.

LOL their first show is the site of the beginning of the end of WCW (Starrcade 97). Everybody there better find some wood to knock on.

My daughter is 4 and let me tell you...the delays are still happening. I try not to blow up but damn, sometimes I'm like, "WHY DOES IT TAKE AN HOUR TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE??" Also, re bedtime routines: don't get used to any bedtime routine, because it will change and change often. Hopefully for the better. Knock on wood, but I remember having to read a stack of specific books a specific way for like 90 minutes when she was young. It's a lot easier now but I understand that could be totally different in a month!

That is tremendous. Thanks for that.

Shit, Vic, I didn't want an argument about Jim Cornette or Joey Ryan's dick to turn into you thinking I think you're an asshole or something and I definitely didn't like you getting banned over it. I'm sorry for keeping it going and I'm trying to keep in mind that disagreements don't mean your own opinion is invalid. Some people just like different things. Hell, AxB and I just had a low key and quite gentlemanly argument over Cody that I'm quite proud of. ? I try my hardest to not shit on anyone here or make their day worse because you truly never know what other shit someone has going on and what you may do to inadvertently add to that through a cross word. I really try to go by "be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about." I don't always succeed and I'm sorry if I was overly shitty to you and contributed to you feeling bad about yourself. Be well, man, and I hope you can stick around.

They haven't done that gimmick in a while. When they had their PWG run like 5-6 years ago (before their visa issues), Player Dos was working without a mask as "Stupified." Even then, it's not a great gimmick. Without doing a video game thing like before, why is he still called a variation of Player Uno? There's nothing delving into their backstory, so why even call him that? Once they became "The Dark Order," a more complete gimmick change was needed instead of "yeah, it's SSB, we just had to rename them." Everything about them is really half-ass. They're a talented team, but they're stumbling out of the block with this shit.
