  1. Unfortunately, none of those names are working for Marvel right now and I think one or two of them are exclusive to DC. Marvel is very uninteresting to me right now. I’ll always pay attention to what Hickman and Gillen are doing, but, on the whole, there aren’t many books that interest me. I can scan through Marvel solicits in a couple min. Which is a shame, because I felt like they had a deep talent pool and were doing a lot of interesting books prior to Secret Wars ending. Then they lost writers like Remender and Lemire to the independents. Truthfully, I’m not even into Gillen’s Marvel work right now. Immortal X-Men is fine, but I don’t like the art much snd generally feel like it would be better If Gillen could tell stories for a while without having to write around crossovers and stunts. I really dug his Eternals book with Ribic and AXE was fine, but I’m not too interested in anything coming out of that and Immortal X-Men immediately segued into any other event for three months. not too interested in DC either, but they do have writers I like. Piling on Tom King is one way to keep me interested. dC’s problem seems to be more matching writers I like with books I want to read. On the whole, I’m not too into DC either, but they have more potential to sell me trades.
  2. Lakers playing so bad I thought about turning on Dynamite. But the Grizzlies 20-pt lead is down to 8, so I’ll probably stick with it. Dull game so far,
  3. I normally believe in acting like a professional and putting aside differences while at work, but this is an exception. If the Bucks and Omega don’t want to work with Punk, well, that’s a reasonable reaction and the correct thing to do is not work with him. Reap what you sow and all that. I’ve got zero faith a roster split is going to work. I’m kinda surprised TK is supposedly going to go that route. I’m skeptical of a Saturday night show in general, particularly during football season. Lol, I guess AEW’s target audience is home a lot more than I am. I’m probably free a couple Saturdays a year. Some of them are holidays. I’ll probably end up barely watching the new show even if I want to.
  4. Ok, I didn’t quite grasp that. I thought the match was bron-Duke. Honestly, I think the crowd would get behind a Duke babyface push. The crowd wants to cheer Chase U. it’s annoying they’re mostly used as cannon fodder.
  5. Only saw the Bron-Duke confrontation, but thought that was easily the best promo I’ve seen Duke cut. By a mile. Was kind of perplexed why Bron turned away from Duke and the Chase U crew to start addressing… Adrian Chase. Who wasn’t there. Now I’m not clear who Bron is facing at Spring Breakin’. Duke? Bron was distractingly orange during this.
  6. I don’t have an issue with walking out of a movie if I’m bored (or my wife is), so we do it somewhat regularly, particularly with superhero movies. The unquestioned champion of movies that don’t do it for us is the Thor franchise. We made it through Thor: Ragnarok but walked out on all three of the other films in the franchise. We bailed on Dark World twice. I still haven’t seen it in it’s entirety. Also memorably walked out on the first Raimi Spider-Man film, Captain America: Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, the second Guardian of the Galaxy movie, the Depp Lone Ranger movie, and probably too many others to name.
  7. Was coming here to say the same thing. He shot the ball like a Suns sleeper agent, but played solid otherwise and came up big down the stretch. That block->snatch-> throw off the other guy’s leg in the last minute was an outstanding play.
  8. It’s so obvious Santos Escobar is in the six-man to eat the pin that I’ll be surprised if he actually eats the pin.
  9. Yeah, it’d be a shame if that two days of drive-thru therapy went to waste. i’m rooting for the Lakers. I don’t buy that they can win the Western Conference, but it’s one of the more interesting storylines out there.
  10. I was rather surprised to see Jake Manning on my tv still doing the Manscout gimmick. I haven’t even thought of Jake Manning in at least ten years, much less seen a match of his. I would not have guessed he’d still be doing the same gimmick.
  11. The pen you use to sign the contract for your next big match. Yeah, that Bic isn’t going to survive the experience. Inevitably, someone’s going to put someone through the table or toss them out of the ring and the pen’s going to get broken in the carnage. For that matter, I wouldn’t recommend using a new table for contract signings. Go to a yard sale and buy the cheapest table you can find. Doesn’t what it looks like. You’re going to throw a cloth over it anyway. Just make sure that it’s not rusty. I don’t know the stats, but I would guess more than a few wrestlers have gotten tetanus from a rusty table leg.
  12. Probably the same way the board hand waves away WWE getting substantial rights increases every time new contracts are negotiated. That’s worked so far.
  13. I kinda want a tiny indie to book a fake Bullet Club led by a fake Doink the Clown.
  14. What am I missing, other than that Liv has more then one facial expression.
  15. Ugh, can’t we keep that to the wrestling folder? I would be embarrassed if my kid did the screaming thing. Being on tv wouldn’t have made it better,
  16. I feel like the “OMG! 30 fps!!! Woe, the inhumanity!” reactions are overblown, but, on the other hand, the optics are terrible. Xbox seems stuck in a loop where they promise a lot and deliver either delays or problem games. Considering how few high-profile games they’ve delivered lately, they probably need Redfall to be a hit. I’m not put off by 30 fps, but Redfall hasn’t grabbed me either. It’s mostly on my radar because I liked Arkane’s previous games.
  17. It never occurred to me this wasn’t the playoffs, so I find it a bit jarring when announcers insist it isn’t. i don’t know what else it would be when you keep playing after the season ends and either you or the team you play moves on to the next round of the playoffs.
  18. Out of curiosity, how do you rationalize the crowd reactions and merch sales? I’m fairly neutral on Cole personally, but continuing to pretend crowds don’t love him and he’s at least fairly good on the mic and in the ring (I’d argue he’s a very good promo) seems kinda silly to me.
  19. Does that make Charlotte the Lex Luger of this scenario?
  20. I’m skeptical Io’s getting a PPV title match. Feels more like a tv match, especially since they were foreshadowing Bayley turning on her last night.
  21. ESPN talking heads are saying team is afraid Luka will aak for a trade after next season unless things seem to be trending in right direction. Several talking heads seem to think Mass think they can’t let Kyrie walk after all this and will meet his asking price. It’s worth noting Kyrie was the only Mav to skip post-season debriefing. Lol, I’m sure this will end well.
  22. I would have bet a fair bit of money CrazyMax was gone by now. Feels like it has been at least a decade since I even thought of the site,
  23. Nah Cuban is going to punish him by re-signing Kyrie and trading for Rudy Gobert.
  24. I’m more surprised there’s a team named the Trash Pandas out there.
