I think that’s fair and I thought the same thing. Points in favor of this - Meltzer does completely make shit up time to time, but not on the level Bischoff or Bruce says he does. They are either lies in the vein of, “I have an uncle that works for Nintendo” to making an educated guess, stating it as fact, doubling down by saying “well, uh, you know, uh, that’s just what I, uh, you know, it’s what I heard and uh, you know, why would they tell me that if it wasn’t true, you know?” after someone refutes what he says, and then rarely saying he got it wrong once the dust has settled. So this could be one or both of those lies, just making something up and making an educated guess. He even referenced on WOR how WB wouldn’t let the Briscoes on Dynamite and the same for Trey Miguel. But it’s awfully fucking strange to not have a go home angle and not feature the hottest guy in the company and the champion on the go home show for what is essentially a PPV on free tv. TK does some weird shit with booking, but nothing ever like this. Even if this is a travel day for them they could have done a pretape.

I think it’s fair to say multiple AEW folks lurk on here. Not a lot, but enough. Maybe I’m wrong, but the whole, “Hangman is the main character” stuff originated here if I’m not mistaken because I sure as hell don’t remember seeing it in r/sc first and I read shit on there about every day out of boredom. There have also been too many other instances of us idiots on here saying shit and then seeing it or hearing it a week to a few weeks later to the point where it doesn’t feel like a coincidence anymore. But we’ve tread this ground before.

And for my Jubilee debate prompt, I’ll start with, “Excalibur is the best commentator in pro wrestling and has been for the last 6 years.”

It has been reported by multiple sources and outlets now. This X Swamp creature just seems to be jumping on the newz bandwagon.

Man, FUCK WB. Put the title on Brody King, the ONE king, and let FUCK ICE rattle around in Zaslav’s eardrums. Hell, dedicate an hour of the upcoming Dynamite in Minnesota to a God’s Hate concert.

Dude...I accidentally saw a clip of that earlier and normally that stuff doesn't bother me, but knowing she already blew out her ACL and watching her totally eat shit on that crash was really bad.

Welp, and there goes my two 1st TD bets. Didn’t think it would be Barner.

Yeah I cashed out. It hit $16.88 out of a possible $18 and change. May as well guarantee some money.

I’m so tempted to cash out on my bet for the Seahawks to cover the spread. $10 bet and the current cash out is $15.66.

Also, whatever degenerate gambler bet on Jason Myers to be MVP is doing a whole lot of coke right now.

It’s almost the 4th fucking quarter and both of my bets for who has the first scoring TD are still alive…

As for NIN, they're on the list of favorite bands I desperately want to see before they hang it up. Them, blink-182, Foo Fighters, and Muse. Then I'll just keep going to Silversun Pickups shows. I loved NIN and still like them quite a bit, but I feel like calling their soundtrack for Tron Ares was a pretty cynical cash grab. It's clearly just another score by Trent and Atticus except 2, maybe 3 songs have vocals from Trent and nothing really stands out all that much. Better than most of the Ghosts albums, which are really only good as background music. Loved Year Zero and all of the marketing to it. Still would have liked to see Year Zero become the rumored TV series it was going to be.

Matt Walker was just doing live shows, right? In studio for Adore I thought it was Billy Corgan himself using electronic drums. I used to like Adore, but I think I did because I was in denial about how disappointing it was. And then it took what felt like forever for them to come out Machina which was...fine. Billy played in a key completely different than what he would ever use and it produced an entirely different sound for the album, for better or worse. I did get to see them play at Purdue, unfortunately in a theater there so movement was very little unless you had GA tickets in the band pit that would be used for the band/orchestra during musicals. This was after Machina. Really good show, but after the show ended was complete chaos. Me and the girl I went to see them with hung out by their bus and I got to shake Billy's hand. Dude was super soft spoken and polite and had a very gentle handshake. Not the dreaded dead fish handshake, but just gentle. On the walk back was insanity. Purdue made it to the Elite 8 in the NCAA tournament and students lost their minds, burning piles of furniture in the street. Cops had to disperse people with tear gas. We made it back to the dorm and were huddled up in the dorm with a couple other girls my friend was friends with as tear gas filtered in through the ultra shitty, drafty dorm windows. Then the band broke up, then came Zwan, then nothing until Zeitgeist, then Oceania, and after that I completely fell off. I'm glad I got to see them live before everything turned into a mess. Everything from MatIS to Gish I'll listen to mixed in on Spotify playlists, but nothing after that. Last thing about the Pumpkins and Billy Corgan. I think one of the more messed up things is that Jimmy was fired to get him to go into rehab and meanwhile D'arcy became more and more of a trainwreck to where I'm surprised she's alive today. I'm surprised Jimmy is alive today. He was the first drummer I thought of after Taylor Hawkins died. And thankfully D'arcy sounds like she's doing ok and is working at an animal rescue or something like that.

As for Scream 7...What everyone wants: STU IS STILL ALIVE AND KILLING AGAIN! YES! What you'll get: Probably a VHS recording of Stu back in high school talking about killing or something. And they can't do the whole "son/daughter of Stu" angle because they already did that with Billy. A couple movies back. Fuck it. I'll watch it anyway. The more recent ones have been anywhere from pretty damn good to good if you're into Fast and Furious levels of ridiculousness.

Maybe I'm alone in thinking it, but Michael looks fucking bad. It straight up looks like on of SNL's movie trailer sketches. There were so many times during the trailer that I was waiting for laughter from the audience.
