"Took his ball and went home" is such a Vince-ism that Seth's ass is probably sore from having the old man's arm up there.

And then later in this article is another quote from Rollins where it's up to the talent to make their voice heard, which was the exact fucking thing Moxley was doing.
People who universalize their experience and try to apply it to everyone else are so short sighted and ignorant. "It worked this way for me so why can't it work for you?" It's such a pet peeve of mine. Austin and Rock, both, I think, said the same shit. "You just gotta go knock down Vince's door and tell him your ideas! It's what I did!" Like Vince would have listened to day 2 Ringmaster Steve Austin with the same fervor he listened to million dollar earner Stone Cold. What a fucking joke. HHH and Vince listen to Rollins? Cool. It doesn't mean they'll listen to people they don't see as important or see as slotted at a certain spot like Ambrose.
47 minutes ago, MORELOCK said:Again, though: that wasn't the argument being presented. He specified in-ring wrestling, not anything else.
And the example he used was really a damning indictment of WWE, so that's just hilarious. "We're awesome! Did you people see that cruiserweight 3 way?!?!" Oh, the three way between guys Vince couldn't pick out of a lineup in a division the company ignores? That's the top guy's standard bearer example of how awesome their wrestling is? LOOOOL amazing.
PS I got no dog in this fight. I fast forward Will Ospreay's matches. I just don't find his style entertaining.

Of course, Bret is always less likely to embarrass himself and the company than Flair, so going with Bret was the better move.
Flair might make off with the belt and try to use it for collateral on three different loans while also committing to selling it to Highspots.

Women's episode was the best one thus far imo. Fascinating history of the fighting Cholitas and their and Mia Yim's inspiring stories. Great stuff.
I agree. Best one so far. Heart wrenching and awesome. I just wish they'd gone a little bit into defining "cholo/cholita" and the history there as it relates to Bolivia. I pieced it all together eventually (googling "cholita" and finding out it meant, essentially, half-breed" helped me put it all together) but knowing exactly what the deal was with the class system would have made for a better episode.

No, that sounds like 2019: where we pretend things are done in the name of "security", but they're so annoying and onerous that, to get around their stupidity, we do things that are considerably less secure and potentially more dangerous.
Word. Some IT departments (or, more likely, the decision makers above them) just don't understand the "security/usability" balance.

I guess I enjoyed the deathmatch episode, though I cringed a whole fucking lot.
I haven't watched the two from last night yet. I have SlingTV and their DVR service is ass. I'm glad I double checked it...though I have it set to record "new episodes," it was only set to tape one of them. I set it manually so I hope it worked out.
I had originally typed "tape" instead of "record" because I am old.

The WWE Village People stable is a weird angle, man.
You joke but I absolutely got a "leather daddy" vibe from the Lashley figure.

I got a new laptop here at work but Windows 10 security measures enacted by the parent company dictate that I can't just use a share on it to move my files over. So I'm using a USB drive to sneakernet files between two laptops 5" apart like it's not 2019. WTF dudes.

Yeah, I get all that. But adding supernatural elements to this would be like Leatherface and Grandpa suddenly casting spells at the end of TCM. Are House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects unrealistic and feature some fantastical elements? Sure. But they still happen in something resembling the real world.
Now if the Firefly family is resurrected by the witches from Lords of Salem as part of some Rob Zombie shared universe, I guess that's cool.

I like how the Filrefly family being obviously gunned down in a blaze of glory is somehow going to turn into "the bullets missed all the important organs and we arrested them." For fuck's sake, you clearly see at least Baby and Captain Spaulding get shot just below the throat while Otis seemingly gets hit multiple times in the upper body. Not sure how you come back from that.

So you know how the UK Government is introducing legislation to stop under 18s from accessing adults only websites? The way they're doing it is, everyone who wants access has to go to a shop and buy a pass (for ten quid!), and the person working behind the counter will verify their age. Whether they turned 18 yesterday of fifty years ago, everyone is in the no pass = no access.
Well. Guess who's shop is going to be selling passes? Yeah. My shop. And I do all the late shifts*, when the sleazebags are awake. This is going to be awesome! I have power of attorney over the whole town's Porn consumption!
* Five out of seven, anyway.
LOL
Practice your stern, disapproving look. Maybe work in a slow, judgmental, disappointed head shake as well.
Maybe your shop can work out a bundle deal and package some lotion with the passes.

Oh man mother fucking Interstellar. The only movie where I where I actually, out loud, yelled "OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE" in the theater like some tourette's patient.
It was the scene where an actual scientist describes "love" as a scientific principle. Fuck you Interstellar.

I caught the Joshi episode of The Wrestlers last night. Pretty good, though I'd consider it the least of the three so far. I never got into Joshi so YMMV. Maybe I don't get the culture but I feel like I need the "idol" thing explained about six more times, slowly, maybe worded differently, because I don't get how it's a valid defense against how creepy the whole thing comes across at times.

I can see the argument for it being possible for a worker to destroy all the goodwill that they may have built up over fifteen years by boneheaded decisions and/or sheer laziness, but it does seem a bit far-fetched.
Or murdering your family or leaving a prime spot in a big company because you like drugs more. Chris Benoit and Kurt Angle are calling on lines one and two!
Seriously, they should raise it to 25 years just in case. I know the oldsters who are a little embarrassed about being part of the business really really liked having a legit gold medalist in the hall of fame, but it was way too soon for Angle, especially because his amateur career apparently counted toward the 15 years. He was voted into the hall in '04, flamed out in '06, and really didn't do much of note for the rest of his career.

The Hogan-Piper rivalry narrative doesn't exist without the WCW feud.
I feel it's the opposite. The WCW feud doesn't happen without the perception from 15 years before that these two were legendary, longtime rivals. I'm really curious about how this perception came to be. I have some ideas (Piper refusing to job caused fans to consider him a more major rival due to the outstanding and never-solved issue, Piper always booked as a key heel even if not in a program with Hogan, the two being the focal points of the WWF cartoon maybe?) but I'd love to hear some opinions.
As far as Hogan rivalries go, what about Bobby Heenan? Hogan feuded with the Heenan family on and off from pre Mania 1 until after Mania 3. (Excuse me for being an older dude who measures the early WWF timeline by what Mania was happening when).

Is billing something as "Match of the Century" considered high profile?
Heh. About as much as something billed as "equal to or bigger than Wrestlemania" is.
-
It always strikes me as how we think of Piper and Hogan as these legendary rivals, like they're Batman and the Joker, when they were only programmed against each other for such a short time. I don't know how many house show runs they had against each other, but it looks like the only high profile program between the two was the run-up to Mania 1 (the Wrestling Classic/War to Settle the Score/Brawl to End it All) and that show itself
