  1. I haven't seen it yet but Sammy has been reckless for a LOOOOOONG time, just throwing himself hither and yon off things like "welp, I hope you catch me."  Shit, his twisting senton off a ladder is in one of the shows' opening packages, maybe Rampage, and that shit was just dangerous as fuck.

    Trigger warning:

    In a bad depressive spell. Yesterday and today particularly bad with crying spells. Mental illness is brutal. The urge to self-harm which I haven't, to have suicidal thoughts. Sick and tired of feeling this way. The Cerebral Palsy making my body work four times harder doing the same things as those without. I know I need to start doing Gym, Swimming, Pilates regularly again but when it's hard to get out of bed, feeling low, in pain, it's bloody tough to. Not sure the increased Trazodone 100mg is working out. Shame you can't bottle up when you start taking Trazodone 50mg as you feel great, only had it once or twice after. These stomach pains and headaches giving me grief as well. Feel bad/guilty dropping my depression on my Dad, my Sister, Aje, Alyson and the DVDVR MB when you've got your own things going on. Sharing is caring as the saying goes. I hope people don't get tired of me as I am. Thanks for the support here. Love, Paul xxx.

    Shit, man, I'm so sorry to hear this.  It's such a fight every day, believe me I know it, and anything I want to say just sounds like bullshit platitudes.  Just know there are people here you can DM if you need to talk, and please do your best.

    Sean Strickland was briefly UFC Middleweight Champion earlier in the year. He admitted to being a white supremacist in his youth, habitually makes violently bigoted comments, talked about how women shouldn't be allowed to work (anywhere) or vote, claimed an interviewer who asked about his prior homophobia (and all people who support gay people) are a cultural "infection" who need to be dealt with, frequently threatens other fighters with murder and talks about his desire to kill someone in the cage, assaulted the man who would eventually take his championship from him in the stands during a UFC show, recently took a sparring sessions with a (shithead) streamer way too far, etc. etc. etc.

    The UFC is a mask-off supporter of global fascism and hatred these days so he's exactly what they asked for.

    And when Pollock from Post Wrestling questioned Dana about it at a press conference, he got ridiculed by Dana and a bunch of the fanbase for being a snowflake. I'm shocked. 

    Jesus.  This is all horrible.

    Blue Panther says he doesn't understand english but did understand the challenge.

    Clearly, in his years of wrestling abroad, Danielson mastered the language of "American speaking to non-American," i.e. just speak slower and louder.

    I like Stokley but am not sure how he fits in with Willow and Kris as he's clearly a heel and the two of them are such natural faces. The distraction spot seemed out of place, but I get that it protected Skye a bit and I assume it's leading somewhere in whatever story they're doing with the three of them.

    Spitballing here, I can see the two of them being kind of torn because on one hand, they're winning but, on the other hand, they're cheating.  In the end, they resist the temptation, kick Stokely out, and win the women's tag belts with the power of friendship and good, clean wrestling.

     

    P.S. women's tag belts are necessary to this idea

  6. Bucks need to retire those suits.  1) if that's really dried blood, that incredibly gross and maybe a health hazard and 2) they look like ice cream men who had an accident with the chocolate soft serve

    Dax talking to the ref, telling him he's going to tap, while in Mox's finish, was funny

    LOOOOOOL @ Callis' drunk dad making them fight.  "We turned out allright!"

    I always found Matt Taven dull and not someone I was into watching, but FUCK I cannot question that guy's dedication. He was given a main event slot and the dude seriously went for it  Jesus.

    Fun, interesting developments with Stoke and his crew

    Add Daddy Magic to the growing list of guys who slip and call Copeland "Edge."

    Trent took the bullet for OC because that's what best friends do!

    Again, JESUS that table break and Taven's multiple falls into the tacks.  Man oh man.

    What was in that second heart-shaped box (hey, wait)?  Drywall?

    Stoke: I'm going to listen to some Bonecrusher after this match
    Taz: I love Bonecrusher!
    Stoke: My man!  I knew I liked you Taz!
    Ex: Taz is talking about the monster truck

    The two year anniversary of my father's passing is coming up on March 31st. I'm definitely feeling some feelings. I've been listening to Everclear's "Father of Mine" a lot lately. I'm worried about possibly relapsing with Mr. White. I've got my IOP group and my individual therapist to vent to. The DVDVR has always been supportive, so I just wanted to put it out there. 

    Hey Nice Guy, you do your best, man.  Hang in there and know that a bunch of weirdos here with a metric fuckton of their own issues love you and are pulling for you even though we’ve never met you.  We got you, bud.  PM me or anybody else posting in the thread if you need to.  My dad is trash and I haven’t talked to him in 25 years, so I feel ya.

    Yeah, Power Wash Simulator was great because we could just chill and shoot the shit while we played.  I enjoyed the goofy storyline but I wish they would have explained what happened to the cats!

    Spoiler

    The cats were attracted to the fishy smell of the underwater palace rising to the surface!  I think Power Wash Person takes the mayor's cat in the end because the mayor is a dick.

    My wife and I got really hooked on Power Wash Simulator for a while and once that ran dry we switched to House Flipper and it's been...illuminating.

    Turns out the two of us don't really have the patience to tackle a design project together, which I guess is better to figure out in a video game than when we finally redo our bathrooms.

    Power Wash Simulator was a fun way to just veg out and maybe listen to a pod while passing the time.  It actually does have a storyline tying it all together, which is kind of hilarious.

    I tapped out on House Flipper after maybe one or two trie, but I can't remember what my specific issue with it was.

    Unpacking is another pretty fun one in the chill games genre.

    Regarding the Rock's likability, I think he was way more likeable as a pro wrestler than as a movie star. He hit the A-list and immediately got vaguely creepy like Tom Cruise has seemingly been his whole life.

    I think the thing that is off-putting about Rock is that he wants you to know just how charitable he is. He can’t do a good deed without a camera being present.

    Rock's soul was replaced with some PR firm's Twitter some time back and nobody noticed.

    For me, the key to good heel commentary is I have to feel like they mean it. The reason why I always think of Ventura and WWF-era Heenan is though they were heels, they also had a explanation or reason to be. It didn't feel forced, they were convincing in their roles. Other heel commentators since just feel like they are filling a job requirement. They just automatically root for the heel to check off a box, they may not have a reason to do so, they just do.

    Thanks!  That's kind of what I was getting at.  It feel more performative than genuine.

    Injury-prone I'll give you as a fair criticism

    Honestly, I wouldn't call Cole injury prone.  In AEW, he suffered a bad concussion, then later rolled his ankle jumping off the entrance ramp while doing a run-in.  To me, "injury prone" denotes something like tearing a muscle while just doing regular-ass wrestling, like tearing your quad while walking across the ring, or a guy like Punk who tears his triceps just putting on his gear.

    I don’t think HOB’s promos are bad but much like Dax he could stand to develop another note

    Oh lord Dax and his fucking promos.  The forced stammering, the hand on the head and other weird hand gesticulations.  I know he's trying to sound homespun and genuine, but it's so cringeworthy.

  13. I remember a Mania 3 lead-up promo when Bobby was discussing the trophies Hogan and Andre had been given and he described Andre's trophy as being "littler" than Hogan's.  How could someone called "The Brain" make such a grammatical error?  I was destroyed.

    In seriousness, I feel like heel commentary might be something left in the past.  I don't know if it's this post-kayfabe world we live in or what, but it just feels forced and fake.  Maybe it requires a more subtle approach, which I feel like NIgel is trying to work toward but is sort of missing the mark right now.  It's funny because a straight up wrestling heel who joins the commentating team for one match and just acts like a prick, like Don Callis does, works fine.

  14. Nigel makes a few decent calls.  When Shane Taylor hit Garcia with his finisher, which is just a hard punch, and Garcia kicked out at two, Nigel protected Taylor's finish by saying that Garcia must have seen it coming and tucked his chin.  But yeah, for every really good call, there are about seven instances of overbearing shit.  I'd still take him over JR any day, though.  Watching old PPVs and TV, I find myself saying "oh god JR shut the fuck up" a few times per show.
