  1. Ok so was that just a player character designed to look like Luis Lopez or is Luis a part of this update? I assume the former since he never talked but man.
  2. How about they donate some of that Fox money to concussion research instead of sacrificing the next generation's portly victim?
  3. No that's Eurovision. I get them confused a lot too.
  4. "Wait what did she say?" "RAKES him. With a k." "Oh ok."
  5. I legit wanna see Bryan team with Kendrick in WWE. (Today, I mean. Don't link me that old training video you goobers)
  6. Don't see the problem with it. Even the most screwed up USMNT won't fail to make the top 6 in CONCACAF, so it's just Canada getting the host spot, really.
  7. Make his dumb ass watch Bull Durham. Never punch with your pitching hand, rook.
  8. Enzo was fired for not telling WWE there was a sexual assault investigation of him. And before anyone else does it: BA DA BOOM, RELEASED GUYS IN THE ROOM, HOW YOU DOIN?
  9. Anyone not putting Tim Wiese in goal is missing their free space.
  10. Britt Baker tweeted that she was on the All In show. The All In twitter account quote-RTed, and said that "the road to September 1st includes a lot of Cracker Barrel stops." Things went weird from there. Twitter is both the best and worst social media platform.
  11. About twice a decade I get nostalgic about pancake restaurants I went to as a kid and I go to IHOP. Then I eat an IHOP pancake and I remember I never went to IHOP as a kid, I went to Walker Bros in Wilmette, IL. That generally keeps me away from IHOP for another five years.
  12. Are you not supposed to put those on the waffles? (I'm kidding I swear)
  13. underwear, sock, sock, shoe, shoe, pants, shirt, jacket. Boom.
  14. My brain goes to the most macabre black humor when this comes up, and I concoct a joke like "Hey be positive, maybe you'll fuck up your attempt?" and I have no idea if that's helpful or even the least bit funny to anyone else. It is to me cuz 9 years ago when I attempted, I did, and I'm still here. I chose a method that it turns out has a low success rate cuz I wanted a peaceful out, and since that didn't work, the path of least resistance shifted and I ended up putting my life back together. Best advice I have is just keep a dialogue going with someone you can talk with, whether that's a friend, a family member, or a paid professional, (having all three available is a big help IMO.) Gives you a chance to talk anything out before you do anything.
  15. Not to be too recursive here but if the topic of the thread becomes threads getting locked I think the thread will be locked. I guess another question is whether or not this also applies to talent. Obviously if a wrestler were themself to tweet a bunch of awful shit they'd likely get canned, but of their not-in-the-business spouse did?
  16. The #1 reason people go on Twitter is for political engagement, and a significant portion of that is arguing with/bitching at/shouting at people they disagree with. If Twitter gets rid of that they'd be just another place to post cat pictures.
  17. So here's a weird one. I'm putting it here rather than the general thread on Rippa's advice cuz there's a higher than average chance this thread gets locked basically in four minutes and I would like that not to be the case so if all the usual suspects for posting politically (which I'm fully aware includes me) would refrain, there's some WWE-specific stuff I wanted to ask about. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/anti-muslim-twitter-troll-amy-mek-mekelburg_us_5b0d9e40e4b0802d69cf0264?7z tl;dr: A HuffPost reporter outed (arguably doxed) a popular twitter account (220K) followers that posted a lot of negative stuff about Islam. The account belonged to the wife of a WWE SrVP, (Salvatore Siino, which I'm shocked to learn is a real name and not a Pat Patterson-created gimmick name) and apparently WWE canned him after the reporter started inquiring. Stuff I'd like to talk about: When WWE does a high-value deal like GRR with a government, does that effectively give that government a say in how WWE runs its business? (I'm sure WWE fired the guy on their own without any prompting from the KSA, but would they have if WWE hadn't had such a valuable deal signed in the region?) Is that actually a bad thing? Is WWE basically the same as any other corporate entity at this point as far as firing people who say stupid shit in public? We all look at Vince and the wrestling side of things a lot, but how much is WWE a wrestling promotion at this point, as opposed to a largeish corporation that's core business is wrestling? Stuff we should all probably avoid: The tweets themselves. Typical politically incendiary stuff. Anything whatsoever to do with Trump. At all. C'mon let this be the last time his name is mentioned in this thread. Comparisons to the whole Roseanne/Samantha Bee situations. They're valid topics of conversation but pretty overtly political. Anything about any religions. C'mon.... Hrmmmmmmm I dunno: Linda being Small Business Administrator. Probably she's not likely to say anything as she has no role in the company right now and this wouldn't really touch on anything SBA is in charge of. It's such a WWE thing to have a conflict of interest like this and somehow be unable to really profit from it, though.
  18. Two things I believe are true: 1) We would all be less bothered by Big Cass if he wasn't feuding with Daniel Bryan instead of any of the myriad highly talented SmackDown wrestlers. 2) Big Cass is a bad wrestler.
