August 2024 Wrestling Discussion

[TheVileOne]

I think the only way Logan Paul can get any excitement anymore is by attempting to commit career suicide. 

He better lose to LA Knight this weekend.

She tried to steal Mariah away from Toni for....reasons? I'm not confident enough to have called her a face, the dancing and champagne thing just seemed really disingenuous, like she was hiding something.

I think her claim was she had Mariah first and Toni stole her. I mean technically, she did as apparently they do (did?) everything together (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXR7WMoNwcU). 

Also, I think the most heelish thing Mina has ever done was earlier this year in Stardom she tried to sexualize (or in my words, Mina-rize) Koguma's perfect innocent Kuma pose. That's a step too far.

Logan Paul, still a POS.

Considering Bryan’s mockery of serious head injuries I wouldn’t run too far with that if I were you. Your hero isn’t exactly a saint himself.

And yes I agree Logan was wrong in his first statement that he supposedly corrected (I haven’t seen whatever he updated it to though).

Speaking of transphobes, Logan Paul opened his big shitty mouth on Twitter, screaming about a false story regarding women's boxing at the Olympics. Curious to see what the "new regime" does about this. 

Considering the fact that some UFC moron was talking shit on trans people with impunity, it’s a safe bet the answer is “nothing.”  Vince is gone but the company is still run by scumbags.  That’s awesome.

It’s 2024. Workers working is a bad thing now.

Logan Paul was a POS for what he said which he is. I wasn't running with anything else other than that. Bloody hell. Way to fucking jump.

Good morning, class!

Today's lesson about argumentative fallacies will start with an example of whataboutism.

But what about your appeal to authority?

Ok, imagine this:

you were born into the body of someone with no head injuries, but just always felt like a concussion guy on the inside. You're 6 years old at the store, going "Mom, can you buy me that really cool helmet?" - "No, son, don't be ridiculous, those are for concussion guys, you're a normal boy." Maybe one day you find one, and start wearing it in secret - you finally get the guts to go outside with it; it's the first time you've experienced living without something feeling slightly off. You hear someone say: "Hey everyone, look at this fuckin' weirdo! He's fine, but thinks he's a concussion guy! You're not a real concussion guy, you've never even been knocked out!" This bums you out, so you go home and try to relax with a little doom-scrolling. Uh oh, an evil billionaire's taken over social media, so every post is now "BAN CONCUSSION GUYS, THINK OF THE CHILDREN." or "MY FRIEND IS A TEACHER, AND SHE SAID EVERY CLASSROOM HAS A SMELLING SALT TENT IN IT NOW - DISGUSTING."

You see why what you said is bass-ackwards, right?

Authorities are good if they have credentials.

Unless the teacher running the class only has two semesters of junior college and no degree.

True, but when everyone else takes a crazy gimmick seriously, they lose credibility. If Renee, for example, plays along and treats her as if she's a silent movie star and not a crazy wrestler, you just move one step closer to it being something like Lucha Underground and not an actual wrestler promotion. 

They have been treating her as a crazy wrestler with delusions of grandeur, but they’re also playing along with it because it was fun.

The production is WWE meets RF.

[Cobra Commander]

a few seconds into watching a Midnight Special episode hosted by 1974 George Carlin and getting CM Punk vibes.. although Punk would probably have some reason to not be into Carlin even if the venn diagram overlaps a bit

No word on if Matt Damon will play Brutus Beefcake

[WebConn89]

Speaking of Hulk Hogan movies is the Chris Helmsworth Hulk Hogan movie still happening?

[colonial]

Hasn't been made -- and Hogan claims Netflix no longer has the rights to produce it.

I produced it myself between time zones brother

They should make a Hogan biopic that treats all his lies as stone cold fact like the weird al biopic where he dates Madonna and fights drug cartels.

Paul Walter Hauser would be a great Brian Knobbs if we’re talking Hogan ball lickers.

Also, please let this serve as your PSA reminding you to watch Black Bird on Apple TV if you haven’t yet,

I went on a date with a tattoo artist and she told me that while she doesn't watch wrestling a famous wrestler would come into the shop she works in to get his stuff done. turns out it was Dom Mysterio, so I got to make her laugh reciting The Ballad of The Custody of Young Dominick

Alongside a neck collar that shocks every time he lies ala Cartman swear attempts in South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut.
