Dolfan in NYC Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 This show was all over the place. Kind of weird there was no Kofi. Well, at least Asuka and Kairi didn't job.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) Kairi running while looking through the spyglass along with Carmella/Truth and co. and Big E gyrating while doing the splits in the corner cracked me up. We need a gif of the second one. Great open to this one too. Edited September 25, 2019 by Curt McGirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, at least Asuka and Kairi didn't job.. Kofi had an interview segment with Michael Cole which was decent but man nobody believes he has any shot against Brock. I hope it's better than their match in Japan. I was really into the Rowan/Bryan match. This is a good feud. I liked some of these new angles they are playing with in the presentation. Maybe it was a preview for what FOX will look like. Also, the FOX match cards look cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Yeah, was that planned or not? I'm leaning towards not. Also, a big bald white dude who literally has a red beard saying "might makes right" is a questionable decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Once he’s in there long enough, you can hear Bryan telling them to get him out. Then there’s how gentle both Harper and Rowan were with him during and after the pin. And Charles Robinson rushing out there stuck out, but that might be nothing. Dude looked hurt for real.

Curt McGirt Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 It happened so fast, it's weird. The camera was kind of following them and missed it until he dropped IIRC. Have to go back and watch it again. If he was hurt then he sure was gutting it out -- then again it is Bryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) I was wincing at some head stuff in that match too. And then that spot happened. Most worried I’ve been watching him since his comeback. Took some of the fun out of what was a really good match.

Eivion Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) Rowan/Bryan was so darn good and probably Rowan's best singles match ever. The only thing that hurt it was the clearly botched finish. Really hope Bryan's ankle is ok. That was just bad, especially with how long he wad trapped there. Charlotte/Carmella vs. Sasha/Bayley was solid though the finish didn't quite work with Charlotte just staring on. The 24/7 aftermath was predictable though fun with Truth to the rescue. Wasn't all there for Ali/Nakamura, bu I liked what I saw of it. Mandy/Sonya vs. Kairi/Asuka was fun. The Owens/Shane segment was fine and shorter than it has been in the past so I can't complain too much. Was nice seeing the show end on Becky and Sasha brawling.

Might is Right was a book published I believe in the late 1890s or thereabouts. It claims that anglo-saxon is superior to all other races and spews other racist views and hate towards women. In recent times it's been like the go-to text for alt-right/white superemacy groups. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) The KO-Shane story has the fatal flaw all Authority stories have: you can't get rid of a McMahon. Even if Shane "leaves", there's no reason his father or sister wouldn't give him permission to return. I can see this going to Team KO vs Team Shane at Survivors Series, anyway. It's a waste of time. And I'm not someone who actively hates Shane. The Bryan rope tie-up was scary. I can't imagine that was planned. Looked like he had pretty bad rope burn. The Rowan line was head-scratching. I don't see a scenario where it would be intentional, but they have to be careful with that. Edited September 25, 2019 by Burgundy LaRue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) I'm curious about the idea that the spot was planned. I've seen that thrown around, and I don't see it. Do a tie up spot while risking a dude landing on his head and neck? With Bryan? I'd hope they're more cautious than that.

Curt McGirt Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) Might was also written under a pseudonym by somebody calling himself Ragnar Redbeard, thus me referencing that. Anton LaVey always thought it was Jack London, but that's likely apocryphal. Ironically I know about this shit from involvement in the metal scene. I doubt WWE knows anything about it, it's just a ridiculous coincidence. Edited September 25, 2019 by Curt McGirt 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 One of the problems in 2019 is that authorial intent done from a lack of knowledge is usually not viewed as a sufficient explanation from those who find additional meanings that they view as problematic. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) Only if you truly confess, can your sins against social justice be washed away. It does make a certain sense if you think about it. Sin is ignorance. 6 hours ago, Eivion said: Only ever head it as a saying coming from bullies in various media.

I understood the logical implications of the phrase from a political perspective, but I wasn't aware there was an actual book. (On-Topic post coming right up.......)
