His completely serious defense is that he went to shake hands with her and his hand got caught on the string of her pants. That's like that time I tripped and fell ass first right onto a dick. It happens. -

Buy it and do a repaint and you have Dutch from The Righteous On the We Watch Wrestling pod, they shouted out a good eBay seller who has mint Apter mags for maybe 5-15 bucks plus shipping. If anybody is interested, PM me and I'll send you the name. I bought an issue a week or two ago and it's incredible. Maybe the dude worked at a bookstore and just kept and stored stuff instead of throwing it away when he was supposed to? No idea but it's crazy to get a 1987/88 PWI in the mail and have it look this good. -
It was a wonderful day when I realized all I watched on "regular TV" (Sling, actually) was AEW, so I got a VPN, Triller, and AEW+, and now I never see TV commercials.

I find sitting or lying down easier -
Oh yeah, for sure. Pedro Morales took the IC to the World title, too, I think. I just mean has this ever been anything other than an occasional thing. It's not like Honky Tonk Man was going after Hogan on the reg based on some #1 contender status granted him by the IC belt.

I am in the exact opposite camp. Also, that "#2 title holder, like US or IC, is automatically the #1 contender to the world title" thing...has any company ever actually stated this or is that just some Apter mag bullshit based on the secondary guy always being ranked #1 in their ratings for every company? Because it makes no sense. The #2 title is not the "top contenders trophy." If it was, wouldn't the #2 title holder get unlimited shots? Or wouldn't it make sense if he had to give up his belt if he lost to the world champ? I always took it as "the #2 champion is the automatic #1 contender if there is no other logical #1." That or you have actual world title contender ratings (which never really works) and the #2 champ gets an automatic spot somewhere in the top 5 and can move even higher with successful defenses. Or, one more option, just come out and acknowledge your #2 as a midcard belt and have guys who think they're good, but not yet world title level, shoot for it. Aside from those three options, secondary belts make no sense in kayfabe. And if you want more than two singles belts, the rest have to be gimmick titles.

Playing Fire Pro World...I thought I hated tag matches where the game controls your partner. Turns out I just hate games where your partner's AI is braindead. -

Yeah, Andre was a NPC in the WCW game, too. He was the WCW Master, the boss of the game. They put him in a Giant Machine type mask. -

You know what was a kick in the ass? Really loving Power Move Pro wrestling (US port of NJPW Toukon Retsuden 1), getting my PS1 modded to play TR2 & 3, a few years later hearing that the same developer is going to make WWE games, and then the Smackdown game is released with a greatly dumbed-down controls and it's nothing like TR. -

I remember playing this in a convenience store. Checking Wikipedia, it wasn't released for Genesis in the US; so starved for wrestling games was I, I would have probably bought it. I do remember emulating it a long time ago, can't remember if it was the arcade version on MAME or a Genesis/Mega Drive emulator, but the ROM wasn't the best and you could only play maybe one or two matches before it got janky. Looking on the ROM site I use nowadays, I don't see it listed for Genesis. -

Thanks for clarifying, @Greggulator Aside from @Godfrey's point about real estate, one thing that kills me is private equity companies or venture capitalists buying companies like Toys R US and Sears, playing accounting games, artificially pumping up valuations, sucking the company dry, bankrupting them, and then leaning on their rich buddies who own media outlets to create stories blaming these companies' failures on market forces. One example I remember was buying Sears stores AND the land they're built on, creating a separate "company" to own each, and then renting the land back to the stores at crazy high rates. Then Sears eventually dies and the majority of news stories are about how Amazon and the changing market killed Sears, never mentioning the robber barons who stripmined the company. -

I guess I’m an idealist just wrapped in cynic clothes, but shit like this, hedge funds, venture capitalists, and really the stock market in general, just gross me out about my country. Just all these people making money but not producing anything of tangible value, just making money by making money all the way down while regular people can’t afford shit. It’s sickening. -

Thanks, @Greggulator!! That was incredible. Now please explain to the plebeians how Mitt Romney killed Toys R Us. -

A few weeks ago, I finally grasped the concept compound vs accessory lifts, and lifting heavy vs light depending on which I'm doing. Got stronger on a few things already. Nice. -

Yeah maybe we need the young guys front and center instead of international superstar and should-be top talent Jay White eking out a cheap win over a roided up fucking 60 year old who was really never any good even in his prime. Fuuuuuuuuuck. I hate to be so salty but this ties into @jaedmc's topic of what do you want from AEW, or what do you look forward to, or whatever. Like somebody else said, AEW has a lot of young talent and they should be spotlighting them. I like the Butcher but he's middle-aged and I'm not sure he'll ever get beyond what he's doing right now. There's no reason him and Dustin, combined age of near 101, to be given 12-15 minutes on TV. Shit, maybe make one of those 17 belts an under 30 title. Something.

Oh lord, that game. Every character had the same body and wore long tights and no shirt, regardless of how they looked IRL. The only difference was the heads. What I did like, though, was how you could choose your moveset before starting. Possibly Michael Hayes vs Mike Rotunda. Could also be Big John Studd vs TAKA Michinoku. -
Gravity is a little surprising as his brother, Bandido, is still under contract. You'd think they'd keep him around just for that reason.

I’m glad you mentioned the Bucks’ new characters. It’s intriguing to watch them portray themselves as having some sort of power in the company while simultaneously avoiding every single heel authority figure trope. They’re walking a fun line and I hope they can keep the gimmick going for a while, always alluding to having power while never really showing it because it might not be true. That’s pretty cool.

Same! It was fine for the time but you could win every single match it a gorilla press (lock up, away, toward) and flying splash.
