Not to shortchange your post, but the points that you make aren't really an issue with NXT. They're an issue with how the company promotes wrestlers coming up from NXT. The presentation of the cruisers is a Vince McMahon issue, not a NXT or CWC issue. Guys like Kevin Owens got over on NXT TV beyond just being known for his ROH or PWG work because he was presented effectively. On the other hand, he came up and was being 50/50d after beating Cena. Zayn's gotten it worse. The presentation is there on NXT beyond just relying on name value. Nakamura comes off as a stud, Joe comes off as a killer, because of how they are booked and presented, and that goes beyond name recognition. All the problems that you point out can go right in the pile with the rest of the problems with how shitty main roster WWE is. Holy shit, no one is arguing that fans like Gregg are shitty because they don't follow every aspect of every indie or Japanese wrestler's career. Your rants are pushing a false premise that is contra to the discussion that NXT is specifically catered for indie fans by the company itself to draw those fans in and away from New Japan or ROH or whoever else might otherwise take their entertainment dollars. We get it, you hate wrestling nerd fans. Odd, since you're on a board full of wrestling nerd fans, but hey, you do you.3 points

ASMR is based on certain sounds/experiences causing tingling sensations that start at the scalp, move to the neck, and all the way down the spine. Ear massage can be a trigger from some who are sensitive enough for ASMR. ************************************** I'll go now.2 points

I really want this company to go out of business. Not because I have any stake or investment in it - I've maybe watched a grand total of 30 hours of TNA programming since it's inception. Not because I want the people involved with it to lose their jobs. Not because I want WWE to have a monopoly. But because I want somebody to take the ashes of what used to be TNA and run it properly and make it what it could/should have been years ago. The few times I tuned in to TNA was because I know/knew they had a supremely talented roster. They had their own guys like AJ and Joe and Roode and a good mix of ex-WWE guys like Christian and Angle and Booker T, all guys I knew who could get it done in the ring. But after watching for a week or two, I could see that there was no direction at all. It was aimless and the guys were just collecting a paycheck. If Vince McMahon is a millionaire who should be a billionaire, what does that make Dixie Carter? She had some of the most talented in-ring performers at her disposal, but then brought in the most inept people to handle them behind the scenes. Image what this company could have been if Dixie Carter was not involved. If TNA finally goes under and Billy Corgan - or ANYBODY - is able to scoop up the remnants and re-build/re-brand the company, I would certainly begin watching again and see where it goes. But while Dixie is still involved, I just cannot make the time investment in what I know is a company about to implode. The company finally dying on the vine is "what's best for business".2 points

The saddest thing about listening to Jesse Sorensen talking about her. He's not even that angry. Like you or me would be. He doesn't realize that she was manipulating him and his family from the get go. She didn't want to get sued. He got played. You know he got fired a month after the statute of limitations that he could sue them ran out. (He had a year per Tennessee work laws to take proper legal action but chose not to because "Well, TNA and Dixie have been so nice!") Do not tell me that is a mere coincidence. This woman is simply not a good person. She's a horror.2 points

Long story short - Dixie has conned Fight Network. Dixie and Fight Network are trying to buy Corgan's silence. Corgan is refusing to do so... yet2 points

He said he was six and he sounded six. Some other guy on the game chat was like "dude, no way this guy's six, he's trolling you." Me: "Don't care." (Explodes dot for 100th time)2 points

In the immortal words of our great mayor, "fuck 'em." I've kicked a 6-year-old's ass after he pissed me off in the game chat. He kept saying "why are you kiwwing me?" It was totes adorbs. You're never too young to learn valuable life lessons.2 points

At this point that is kind of more on you. Who Aries is and what his motivations are have been explained. If you don't give a crap about Aries at this point, its probably more that you just don't like him.2 points

Is it supposed to be a surprise or something that Sydal really really likes to smoke weed? I thought that was pretty well-known but, judging from the reaction on various wrestling boards, a lot of people seem caught off-guard by his arrest.1 point

Bobby Heenan was the perfect instigator. He's Devil whispering on your shoulder filling you with lies to run you against your best friend. In fact he pulled that off twice with 2 of Hogan's friends. He replaced one man as King with another and when the first one came back played neutral when the 2 wrestled... except not really as he kept switching sides. Heenan isn't the drunk at the tack, he's the political operative telling Nixon to get the CIA to wave off the FBI and then deny everything, because after all... what could go wrong? James1 point

I just assume I will never use the little game pads and only use the 'real' controller, but I am not really a mobile gamer. Mine will likely stay docked 90% of the time, unless I have company staying over and I just have to play a level but don't have access to the TV. I doubt I am the target audience for that reason, I just want to play the exclusives. The Wii U could never do that though, right? With the Switch, the "gamepad" is the console. The dock is just a way to charge it and make it go to the TV, its not the brains of the operation. While with the Wii U, the gamepad didn't have the juice to play any game on it unless it was within range of the console. I didn't have a Wii U except for the first year or so, but that is my understanding, that you couldn't take the Wii U gamepad on vacation and keep playing games but you can with the Switch.1 point

The other thing that makes this look bad, fairly or not, is that the black players have been punished and/or black balled. Josh Brown got a one game suspension, and he seems to be a serial batterer. Say what you want about Ray Rice, but he seems to be the only one of these dudes who has owned the fact that he did something wrong. He can't get a job. Josh "Easily Replaceable" Brown is outchea kicking after being out for one game. The issue with the NFL trying to legislate the morality of their players is that they have no plan and we all get to interpret their actions from our own perspectives. Why is Ray Rice not in the NFL right now? Why is Greg Hardy not in the NFL? Why is it that a team that publicly said they have a zero tolerance policy on domestic violence allowing a serial batterer slide on his domestic violence? Is it right for the NFL to punish Josh Brown again when he hasn't had another incident after the initial punishment? They heard that his wife called the cops on him over 20 times, and they thought that was worth a one game suspension. I don't understand why he is suddenly unemployable, when we pretty much knew all of this stuff in the first damn place. There is no right way to do this stuff, but the NFL wants us to believe that they are some sort of moral authority. They are not, they are as fallible as the rest of the world. The reason that our legal system is based off laws and not some sort of moral code is that there is no way to legislate morality. You can say what is a crime and decide what is the punishment for that crime. If somehow someone does something that falls outside of those parameters, they get to go home without any punishment. You don't have to feel good about it, but it is a process that we have all agreed to live with. Deciding what is a crime, what is the punishment, and how to handle these things on a case to case basis is never going to work. Everyone is going to have an opinion on your decision, and most of their opinions will be different than yours. It is a losing proposition.1 point

I could get into the Packers wearing all white once a year. This is the colour rush game that is like "fuck you other colour rush games, we're just gonna look like ourselves." Also, this Packers team is totally going to waste the first good run defence they've had in forever by going 8-8.1 point

He was in episode 1 as well. After a standout performance in the finale, he'll also be a regular in this season of Walking Dead -- his character actually has a name and everything! It's funny seeing him show up in live action shows because I just can't separate him from Trevor. It would be like Sonic the Hedgehog showing up on CSI.1 point

I just looked it up in Hardcore Diaries (and holy shit, Foley talks WAY too much about the divas in that book) - Foley turned heel because when he was honored as a hardcore legend in MSG, Terry Funk wanted too much money to appear on the show, which was a shoot. Speaking as someone that went from referee to manager, I was happy that throughout all of that and my managing career, I was able to find legitimate justifications for pretty much all of my actions as a heel. It might've been convoluted and hanging by a thread at times, but legitimate nonetheless.1 point
