I think my biggest wrestling dream match right now that can't happen is Bryan Danielson vs. Gunther. Bryan Danielson's chest goes red quick when chopped by Roderick Strong and Eddie Kingston, it would be something else vs. Gunther.
Mount Rushmore choppers: Kenta Kobashi, Gunther, Ric Flair and Roderick Strong.
when Gunther was Walter and Danielson had a buzz cut.

Keep Marko Stunt for great getting thrown around moments.

This is a real conspiracy theory of mine:
Hansen didn't actually break Bruno's neck. Bruno wanted some time off, so they worked this angle, and the idea was to give the rub to a young Hansen for the injury.
Also, Stan Hansen had perfect eyesight.

Ending every line in a verse with the same word and having the actual rhymes be the preceeding words has been common in rap music for over 30 years.
This is beyond the "no one has ever heard of Bad Bunny" thing. The wrestling bubble is real and it weirds me out.
Is this new Rap fad a form of popular music?

I didn’t care about Goldberg because I was a much superior 7-10 year old WWF Fan. Go Gangrel Go!

Piece of shit talks shit about the first pours after changing a keg being going through the foam (it was clearly to clear it out and he says “did anyone teach him how to pour a beer”), ignores his gf to talk to another random guy about how expensive his European pants are, then when they are talking he cuts her off and talks over her, she’s clearly irritated the whole time and brings this up and also how she wants to do some of the things she enjoys on their European trip, he talks down to her and changes the subject about Minnesotans asking about people’s work when ironically he asked the people around the bar what they did for a living.
He doesn’t deserve Applebee’s. I passive aggressively thanked and complimented the bartender actually knowing what he’s doing with changing a keg and not to listen to idiots.-

All of this talk and talk and talk about a low rating, that's still higher than the half a million that WBD said they'd be happy with. It's a load of nonsense.
Do fans of soap operas go on the internet and rant and rave about how Eastenders is crushing Coronation Street, and go LOLEmmerdale or LOLHollyoaks? I don't think they do. They watch the shows they like, which is usually all of them.
I still think Days of Our Lives killing off Stefeno was a mistake

How was Hechicero vs ZSJ?

AEW needs to put on good compelling television for a long period of time (matches/ stories/ production values) that people recognize it as appointment television and it is no longer cool to make fun of. You’ll always have haters, but the easy cliches used in every TikTok or Reddit post about AEW (sometimes earned) makes it not fun to even talk about enjoying the product. I know me saying “don’t suck for a while” is eyerollingly generic, but that’s what it comes down to. Past issues or decisions can be rectified if you’re consistently excellent.
I don’t even really look at them as in trouble or anything too drastic until a bad tv deal, but speaking strictly as a very unimportant niche fan, I’m not having fun. Both keeping up with wrestling and talking about wrestling. Maybe it’s just me projecting life. Just make me happy, please.

Eh, if it was, the end result wouldn't be in much question, would it? At least this way, there's some intrigue. Definitely far from Sanada vs Perry...
Partially agree with you. Even with the past events having weaker builds and maybe less big name NJPW possibilities, the concept and event itself has been very fun in the past. I’d rather see or have build for Swerve vs Osprey than most other match possibilities, but they found a way, as silly as it is, for my heart to not be in it.
—-Also, I was joking relating it to the ratings. That was just a dumb me joke.

I didn’t watch AEW on Juneteenth out of respect for Big Swole.
Other than that, I think everyone is mad that the Forbidden Door AEW title match isn’t an inter-promotional match.

RUSH is supposedly “banned” from Forbidden Door, possibly every year it happens. Even though CMLL/AAA issues have been worked out in regards to that show and talent appearing on TV etc etc.
And if they’re going to continue to book Stephanie Vaquer, maybe that’s for the best. I honestly rather watch her than anything of his anyway.
Dang, I did some googling. I’m behind on a lot of stuff.

F1rst Wrestling does a pretty good job making an event a fun experience. Especially their Wrestlepalooza or other bigger shows. They’ll usually break the wrestling matches up with two different burlesque dancers and then either a band or rapper for the intermission. It really fits the scene here. Very fun.

We used to go there a lot. Loved the double decker pizza. I was actually just telling my mom that we should go there next time we visit.

Holy shit. Double decker? I might manufacture this.
There was a place in St Paul that had The Miracle On Slice. It was a deli sandwich with pizza as the bread. Their Philly Cheesesteak was so good that I usually went with that though.

When I lived in Southern Illinois, there wasn't a ton of choice when it came to eating out. So, we'd end up at the Applebee's in Carbondale a lot. Some weekend's, it was our de facto bar, too. At the time, my wife and I were working at a TV station in the area. She was the weekend anchor, so a very minor local celebrity. We'd be at Applebee's with the main anchor (more recognizable) and, often, be pretty drunk. We always figured there were a lot of people telling friends the next day, "I was at Applebee's last night, and that girl/guy from the news was HAMMERED!"
So, one night, my wife has had quite a few cheap margaritas and is having trouble controlling the volume of her voice. She decides to re-tell a dirty joke she'd heard that week. The joke is: Guy goes to the doctor and says, "Doctor, doctor! My penis has turned orange!" and the doctor says, "Stop eating Cheetohs before you jerk off." Something to that effect. The restaurant is fairly full, and there are a lot of people sitting close to us. She starts to tell the joke in her normal voice, but I suppose was planning on whispering the "penis" part. Instead, it comes out as "Doctor, doctor! My *says loudly* PENIS is *whispers* orange." Had one of those "record scratches and the whole room looks at you" moments.
Lol wiener

There's an Applebee's by me that I haven't been to since I got takeout from there during the pandemic because I had a gift card. But I recall it was surprisingly decent. Of course, I don't think APPLEBEE'S: SURPRISINGLY DECENT is a great tagline.
Nothing against Applebee's or any restaurant from that casual dining tier, like Ruby Tuesday's, TGIFriday's, Hard Rock, etc. I just eat out so infrequently that it never makes the list. Actually, I did eat at a Hard Rock a few weeks ago on a work trip because it was the only thing open that late on a Sunday that wasn't so expensive it'd fuck my per diem. It was also.........surprisingly decent.
On 6/14/2024 at 7:36 PM, twiztor said:man, i don't know if everybody else's Applebees is better than the one in my town or what is happening here. Their food is the dictionary description of "eh, it's OK i guess". A solid 4 out of 10. There's nothing bad about it, but there's also nothing good. Very basic and plain. And smothered in butter to the point that it isn't very appealing. Luckily, the restaurant is on the exact opposite side of town, so not a place i need to go to often. The mozzarella sticks are a high point, tho.
And it's not like i've got some high class tastes. Buffalo Wild Wings is my go-to, and i eat there regularly. probably too often. I am not taking questions.
i am glad you enjoy it, Octopus. And everybody else too, i guess.
Applebee’s is an existential treat of the beauty of the mundane. If a culinarily casually fried Andy Warhol and a dollar bottomless Norman Rockwell had a baby that grew up to be in your local highschool sports teams as an important bench player, but still beloved. It is not simply an American restaurant, but the American experience is ingrained in the fibers of not just the concept, but the foot and physical structure of the building. Is the idea of Applebee’s a lie we tell ourselves so we can keep living? Maybe. But it’s one that still brings a tear to my eye. Thank you, Applebee’s. Bless you and your $5 Blue Bahama Mama.

I can’t really find the data to support how many matches or if it was in multiple companies (I know of more that Cagematch doesn’t list at least), but I thought of Jerry Lynn vs Lightning Kid/ Sean Waltman.
