Speaking of comedy vs drama, it bugs the fuck out of me when someone argues, "TV shows do (insert drama thing here), why can't wrestling?" The latest was Stevie Richards on his pod, arguing that 24 and the like did terrorist subplots and the like, so why did they have to cut Slaughter's reign short?
Because wrestling has a long history of handling everything in the most crass way possible, and also a long history of swearing it was real.

They have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever to Brian Pillman Jr
Promoting that "Edge" is coming back, and then filling the spot with Pillman a la New Razor and Diesel? I know some fans want to go back to the way things were done in the 90s, but they mean 1997, not 96.

I'd love to know why he doesn't like Yano. He's not exactly a PRO WRESTLING IS SERIOUS BUSINESS guy.
Third hand backstory to this is apparently Danielson was pitching for a Danhausen return where Danhausen would be a comedy character who'd occasionally pull off fluke wins over people above him in the pecking order. Danielson cited Yano as an example of how to do this, and TK told him he hated Yano.
I think Danhausen being so publicly pro-Punk during and after everything that went down is actually the biggest contributor to his AEW demise.

She’s been wrestling for like 70 years, she deserves to retire guys.
Did she train the Outrunners or did they train her? Man, that's a zen koan for ya.

I'm more of an Estranged guy, personally.
Same! I was listening to it while running maybe two weeks ago and just thinking GOD DAMN THIS IS THE BEST GnR SONG. To be fair, it could have been the endorphins.

The good news: great workouts Sunday (hour-ish of weights), Monday (6 mile run), Tuesday (hour-ish of weights)
The bad news: oral surgery yesterday, can't work out, except maybe walk, for at least a week. I'll pick it back up the Sunday after Thanksgiving.
The blessing in disguise: forced to rest up nagging knee issue and hamstring/glute soreness that I'm pretty sure is a minor disk hernaition. But shit, minor herniation, I can live with. Not in the same universe as the herniation a few years ago where a disk exploded and I needed surgery. Always look on the bright side.

Not to get too close to certain non-board worthy topics. But a certain person’s nomination for Secretary of Education has led to a tidbit from an attorney that Linda and Vince are separated
Which pretty much anybody paying any attention figured out awhile ago. (And it was also mentioned 2 years ago, but you know how internet wrestling sites are)
Best comment I saw on this (not taking credit): "Maybe Vince will be interested in her again now that she's a secretary."

That was definitely not Britt Baker trying to do a Russian accent. They made sure to film or edit in a way that you never see her saying her lines. That was all done in post. Why they couldn’t hire a better person for the ADR session is beyond me, though.

If your iPhone and AppleTV are on the same network segment (no guest network stuff or weird VLAN/segmentation going on), you should be able to cast Triller right to the AppleTV device. Not that you'll absolutely need Triller after December if you have Max, though.

As in Headstones lead singer/Hard Core Logo Hugh Dillon? Interesting
I had to look it up but yes, one and the same! I’d say he plays a crooked cop but all the cops on that show are crooked. Not to get too political but I heard Yellowstone is a conservative white male fantasy. Kingstown is the opposite of that. It’s about a guy working as an advocate for prisoners, trying to keep balance in a volatile city, the cops are crooked (no thin blue line types) and the Russians are actually bad guys
. So maybe the guy who created Yellowstone doesn’t have much input?
-
The only Sheridan show I’ve seen, and I get the feeling I’d hate Yellowstone, is Mayor of Kingstown, which I’d recommend without hesitation. Maybe that’s more on Hugh Dillon, who writes and acts in the show, and Jeremy Renner, who is amazing.

Really? I was always under the impression that it would be considered a semi-fringe opinion among the general fandom.
People seem to adore the self-conscious epic Streak matches from the late aughts/early tens, generally, though I pretty much don't like any of those matches.
I don’t know about best or worst but the most hilarious streak match was the one where he was like FUCK YOU I’M NOT TEAMING WITH NATHAN JONES and squashed Show and Albert by himself in the opener.
Nathan Jones won in the end. He starred in Fury Road while Taker does questionable standup for incels.

Heck, on a personal level my nephews are 11 and 12 yet they're both really big into GnR due to their dad. So telling them about AEW using this song was awesome news to all three. Like I said, nostalgia's a weird thing.
My daughter likes "Everybody Wants to Rule the World." I blame memes or skibidi toilet or whatever.

Don’t want to quote your post because that’s a lot of text but damn I just inherited a LG because my damn non smart TV finally died and I was wondering if all smart TV’s are this slow and functionally annoying.
Maybe turn off every smart feature you can and get a separate box (Roku or Apple) to handle the actual work?
1 hour ago, Craig H said:The other positive is, and I don't know why, but with my TCL Roku TV, I would have to set my router to connect to my VPN in order to watch AEW PPVs on Triller. I couldn't just bring it up on my phone and airplay it.
Damn, that's wild. iPhone VPN, launch Triller on the phone, then AirPlay to the TCL is how I used to do it. But it would take a while to connect ("a while" being like maybe 20-30 seconds). I AirPlay to the AppleTV now and the handoff is nigh instantaneous.
Were your phone and TV on the same network? No guest network or weird VLAN stuff happening?
Yeah, no gig ethernet on TVs sucks. They say 100 mbps is fast enough for 8k but I dunno, man. I like everything to be as fast as I can get it and if I'm paying my ISP for gig, I need my TV to use it god dammitt. BTW AppleTV has a gig ethernet connection.

Fuck it all, buy Don't Cry, Estranged, and Civil War and go crazy with it. It's not my money. Shit, Madagascar is a banger, too, if we want to go newer.

EDIT: Re: smart TV apps, if I could banish WebOS from the planet, I would. That was the bane of my existence when I was involved in content management.
Good lord yes. In a short span of time, I bought and returned both LG and Samsung TVs and just went back to a TCL Roku set with an Apple TV unit. Just completely bloated, trash operating systems. Before going back to Apple, I tried the Roku TV's OS and apps and it was good enough, I guess, far better than the LG or Samsung, but it needed complete unplug reboots frequently. I Googled it and was shocked at how little RAM it had.
@Craig H's HMDI woes reminded me...I think it was the Samsung that decided it was smart enough to figure out what was connected to it. Spoiler: it was not. Every fucking time I turned the TV on, it would query my Xbox and whatever else I had plugged in to its meager TWO fucking HDMI ports and 80% of the time it would fail to figure it out and would display "unknown device." So I had to do some complex IT voodoo ritual almost every god damn time I wanted to play a game.
But yeah, as @Stefanie Sparkleface said, aside from their OS cludginess, you're gonna have a rough time using native apps because the TV is already dedicating considerable resources to it (bloated) OS. I feel like Roku TVs' native OS is somewhat simpler and more customizable than stuff like WebOS and Tizen with their busy homescreens, undeletable apps, and barrage of ads.
LOL I just Googled "tizen homescreen" and "webos homescreen" and got PTSD. Holy shit. I don't need to know what's "trending now" and 75% of the screen being consumed by sponsored content is maddening. Roku TV: all your inputs and apps appear in same-sized boxes that take up the majority of the screen. There's an ad on the that might take up maybe 40% depending on what screen you're on. Everything is easy to find. It's god damn beautiful. Apple TV: looks like my phone. AppleTV+'s interface is wonky but I'll take what I can get.

and then Gorgeous George got revenge porn'd by someone (not sure people cared enough to figure out who), but that was in 1999 or 2000 before people actually realized it was wrong to leak sex tapes/photos of people without their consent (sometime in 2014, people realized that was wrong once some celebrities unleashed lawyers on people)
Randy Savage's midlife crisis is something that has come up but some people just sorta think it's taking unfair shots to point out that Randy was off his fucking gourd in 1999
Randy gets a huge pass for being a domestic abuser (yes, control is absolutely abuse). Motherfucker locked Liz in the house during road trips with exactly the number of TV dinners she’d need to survive and we all just giggle at Prichard’s Hungry Man “jokes.” I mean fuck, we all love Macho, but let’s call it what it is.

Before I saw a match of his and with his early ban from entering the states I thought this was some super scuzzy guy and then when I saw him I was like "oh he looks like some 80's clean cut dude who smiles kinda weird who'd screw with like Marty McFly or Daniel LaRusso but they'd be friends by the end" Kinda disappointing.
When he wrestled in a gi back in the day (before his 5 year ban from the states), he looked like a little kid. I remember Excalibur on commentary on PWG saying “Mike Bailey looks like his mom dropped him off at the wrong building for karate practice AND HE DECIDED TO STAY AND FIGHT GROWN MEN!”

I'm thinking they will, since the Outrunners qualified and they didn't.
FTR leaning into their insufferable “wrestling is serious business” side and turning on the Outrunners is perfect. “You think this is a joke? This is how I feed muh famleeeeeeee!”

I'm sure it was all under the table. Pun definitely not intended.
