  5. 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.

  12. 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.

  14. 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".

  15. 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.

  16. 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... yet

  19. 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.

  20. 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.

  27. Civ 6 is pretty good. They really cleaned up the UI, and at least during the beginning of the game, you are making a lot of choices that at least feel consequential. Splitting policies and tech into two separate research trees, for example, gives you a chance to make numerous early-game decisions about what kind of cities to mold. The other thing is that land management and acquisition, particularly in order to build specialty buildings and Wonders in your cities, is such a huge part of the game now, which I am still getting used to.

  28. I LOVE 'King of Queens'. I remember when Patton Oswalt was doing a retrospective of his career and with him being somewhat of a hipster, I expected him to crap all over 'King of Queens' like Joe Rogan did with 'Fear Factor' (On the NewsRadio commentaries, Rogan just trashes that show, calls it Joe Rogan cashing a paycheck. When Andy Dick says it's fun, Rogan says "Yeah maybe when they throw up or fall down") but Oswalt was sooo complimentary of James and KOQ and talks about how much he learned. What I loved about 'King of Queens' is their complete non-issue with not having closure on episodes. One episode ends with Carrie beating a Doug while he's dressed like a clown in front of a small child, there's no "I'm sorry honey" moment, it just ends at the funniest part. I respect that. It also doesn't hurt that my sister is VERY similar to Carrie, while her husband acts a lot like Doug.

  30. It's not that they're bringing in indie/Japan stars that I have a problem with. They should bring in those people, just as they should develop their own people But it's so easy to present them to a new audience. Take Eric Young for instance. He showed up randomly a few months ago and gave a forgettable challenge promo and then had a match for the title. What's in it for someone who doesn't know who this guy is? But him leading a team of maniacal anarchists? THAT is great. I can get behind that. Imagine if Sanity was his debut? Or Bobby Roode flipping the "NXT is the place to be!" promo on his head and trying to replace the NXT crowd with captains of industry? Yes, please. That's great. But binging in Roddy Strong as a mystery partner and having the fans explode is the new "YOUR TEAM SUCKS!" Like... bring these people in, but do so in at least a little bit of a creative manner. People who follow Japan/indies/etc. will still pop, but now you're giving people who don't follow those things a hook as well.

  32. I had a 13 year old beg me not to shoot him while he came up the stairs to see where I was hiding. So, the second time he came up the stairs, he was in passive. He then went off radar and begged me not to shoot him while he left passive, then shot me in the back while I killed his friend for the fifteenth time. The worst part is, he then gloated about it. Eventually they ran, so I chased them. They begged me to stop killing them, so I said "Give me five good reasons I should." They wanted to know what happened to One good reason. I asked if they had one good reason. Silence. So I said "Well, I still need five, I'm a Deathmatch legend". And then they left the game, after I blew their car up again.
