Mox exposing Ospreay to NECK BRIDGES for apparently the first time in his life We really needed MJF walking by three bald guys doing the "we accept you" meme from r/bald

Right! To paraphrase Zandig, MJF has FIVE OF EM! (Obligatory JEEEEEEZZUS!)

Did I miss the discussion of the Hulk Hogan doc on here? It was...fine I guess? Exactly what you would have expected, and glossed over a whole bunch of stuff. But god damn did they do WCW dirty. The footage they chose when they introduced WCW as a concept, mostly Dustin vs Bunkhouse Buck in some sort of streetfight, among other things, was totally aimed at a fall from grace narrative, like "look at Hulkster being forced to leave New York and work for these hillbillies." Might as well have dubbed Dueling Banjoes over it.

In general, there's nothing more American than convincing people, who barely have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of, as my mom used to say, to vote against their own interests via propaganda and fearmongering.

Mark Davis is awesome and I'm happy he won that belt, even if it looks tiny with him holding it. Thank you @Dolfan in NYC for getting that classic stuck in my head!

LOL! No problem, man. Everybody should do whatever workouts they need to do for their goals. Cardio helps keep my fat gene having ass thinner, and keeps my heart healthy, especially after a very slight scare I had this year (nothing big, just a weird beat issue I've had for years that turned out to be benign). I just got home from running six and a half miles, btw. Two more workouts this week (weights tomorrow, cardio Friday) and it's beer and bad food day. I mean Saturday.

Listening to Meltzer discuss the Ali Act and the changes being made to it in order to very specifically benefit one corporation, I feel like some creative person out there really needs to remake Schoolhouse Rock to catch it up to modern standards. “How a bill becomes a law” in particular is really outdated. It’s missing steps like: A corporation’s lawyers draft the bill and submit it to a congressperson that they own. Sorry, I meant to say “have donated campaign funds to.” The congressperson‘s interns or assistants read the bill and recommend they endorse it. The congressperson never reads the bill. More campaign funds are spread around to likeminded lawmakers. Political theater…sorry, “hearings,” are conducted. Despite impassioned and logical pleas against it, the bill is passed.

This week’s beer was Silver Branch Brewing Company (local brewer) Cosmic Dawn. It’s a West Coast IPA and I really enjoyed it. Really juicy and fruity, and easy to drink. Tasty as fuck. Need to add it to my rotation.

I was just thinking the other day about how we don't have enough basic-ass broadcast TV crime procedurals.

Is that "lady" as an adjective, as in "lady who wrestles?" Or "lady" as a noun, as in "one who wrestles ladies?" I volunteer for the latter. It could also be "lady" as an adjective in the Kevin Nash sense, which actually means it's a verb.

KAREN!!! WHY’D YOU DO THAT, KAREN?! I’m spacing on which poster here has coked up Henry Hill as his avatar but it’s definitely in my DVDVR board avatars Mount Rushmore.

At first I thought someone was calling the match too loudly during Perry/Davis. Then I realized the director’s cues were going over the air. AEW and audio snafus…name a more iconic duo.

Thanks! If AEW stays in the figures business with a new company, I hope the can get from concept to store faster. AEW’s figs are usually outdated and it sucks. The latest AEW line on Ringside Collectibles features Moxley with hair, Statlander in her long pants heel gear, and pre-push Kyle Fletcher with his old bleached, ramen-looking hair.

I keep bringing up the Spider Man games as an example, but yeah, as soon as a collectible (backpacks, Spider Bots, Speedball challenges) came up, I’d just put everything aside, listen to a podcast, and do the whole thing. I’ve never considered any sort of neurodivergence, but maybe I should rethink that

Re: memories of video stores, Matt McCarthy (actor, comedian, former WWE writer) has an excellent monthly 3 hour pod called VHS Tapes Are Magic that covers physical media, video stores, etc and frequently interviews people who run current physical media stores. It’s only maybe 3-4 episodes in and it’s a fun listen.

That’s a nightmare for me. I hate multitasking, I get salty if someone asks me to do something when I’m in the middle of something else, and I despise having open items hanging over my head. I mentioned Spider Man and how I’d knock out all open side quests before continuing the main, but at least it was usually a reasonable one or two quests, and they were usually fun and quick. But if I’m doing one side quest and another pops up right then, my “shoot the TV like Elvis” response is activated.

Is AEW’s actual figure licensing up in the air or about to expire? I never see their figs anywhere anymore.

Yeah, playing Spider Man, if I had side quests open, I’d do ever possible one and clear them out before continuing the main.

I will add you to the list!

Quick update on my Horizon journey: I gave up. It's on me and my own peculiarities, but also the early game design bogging me down with objectives. I'm somewhat of a completionist and too many quests overwhelm me. Here's what happened: I started the game and Rost told me to go to the valley to get parts for fire arrows because some mysterious shit is going down tonight. During the course of the conversation, it was decided I'd also get food for some old lady and also visit some guy to buy a telecaster or stratacaster or something-caster. So that's three quests right there. What the fuck? So I get there and start exploring, killing robots, etc., and I find a guy who asks me to go find his kid. Quest 4. I find the kid and she asks me to find her bow. Quest 4 is replaced with another quest. As I'm trying to figure out "follow her footsteps to find the bow" (yes, now I remember I could have used Aloy's scanner thing), someone is calling me. Maybe this is part of the quest? No, this girl on top of some rocks starts talking about her sister and gives me another quest. So now I have FIVE open quests. I turned it off and uninstalled. Again, nothing against you guys, just different tastes. You're probably reading this the way I read people saying "I couldn't get past chapter 1 in RDR2, it was so slow!" But they way my brain approaches games, five open quests, so early into a game when I'm trying to figure this shit out, was just too much.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL yessir

I've been here long enough to vaguely remember the DVDVR saga of nerdyflirtygirl and her mom. Unless it's Stefanie or JL, just assume every woman here is a hoax

Aw man, I'm so sorry to hear that. My younger cat (3 in July)eats so little and is an absolute menace. Hell yeah, man. There are plenty of older cats out there. https://imgflip.com/gif/3jr7c3

Mina is either somewhat unathletic, or is an alien or mutant with a higher density than humans. She wrestles like she's secretly 300 pounds. Almost everything that requires some agility comes out clunky and looking like it's taking just the absolute maximum amount of effort. When she does a top rope crossbody or that slingshot spinning splash, she gets no height and then plummets to the earth so hard. She does this rope-assisted escalera that is so slow and careful, it's like she's reading a diagram of where to put her feet. I think science needs to look into what the deal is here.

I think any discussion of WWE's pre-TKO renaming policies boils down to "whatever Vince's whims were on any given day."
