He might have my least favorite punches in the history of wrestling. He got out there and shuffled around like the world's worst boxer and threw a bunch of goofy jabs and crosses that look like ass. I didn't realize that they were stiff until I heard Jericho talk about it. For what it's worth, I think Shane held his own in almost all of his matches, but there is not a single match where his punches didn't make me like the match less. He's the boss' kid so no one was going to sit him down and tell him that shit sucked and looked like ass.

He seems to be throwing shoot punches instead of worked punches. They are the double whammy of looking terrible on TV, but actually hurting. The hierarchy of worked punches: Punches that look great, but don't hurt. Punches that look great, but do hurt Punches that look like shit, but don't hurt Punches that look like shit, but do hurt Shane is the king of #4

I just watched an Instagram video of Chris Jericho talking about getting in the ring and Shane potatoing him with his terrible punches to the point where he damn near decapitated him with a drop kick as a receipt. Every single day someone posts something on this board that makes me ask, "damn, why did we excuse so much horrible behavior from the McMahon's?" He let his goofy kid get in the ring and play professional wrestler (pretty well by the way) and they just had to deal with it.

I mean, I don't want to help the Steelers in any way, but they do realize that it doesn't matter who the tight end is, when you don't have a starting quarterback on the roster.

I'm super selective about build guides and the such. I feel like I had as much fun doing cool specialized builds with Baldur's Gate 3 than I did just playing the game. I also used a build guide for Elden Ring, because I would have hated that game if I just stumbled my way through it. But then I'll see YouTube videos where people make super specialized Borderlands or Assassins Creed builds, and I don't understand why anyone bothers.

There are plenty of running backs who were better than plenty of guys in the hall of fame, but their body's broke down before they got to 10K yards. Guys like Shaun Alexander, Priest Holmes, and Chris Johnson were as good as most of the hall of fame running backs at their peak, but they'll never get in.

I feel like this is the exact wrong job for Bud. He's the kind of coach you want to get a team to exactly where the Knicks are right now, but I wouldn't trust him to take them over the top. I know he has a ring, but he also had the best player in the league playing at his absolute best. The Knicks have a very good roster, but they don't have the kind of force of nature that Giannis was that season. They need a strategist who can adjust to their opponents in real time, and Bud does not do that.

Yeah, I used to love Jordan Breen's show, and even followed him a while when he'd do guest spots on other MMA shows. It became pretty apparent that he was having some pretty serious issues, and I'm sad to see that it seems like those problems got the best of him. He was a legitimately great broadcasting talent and was the voice for the generation of MMA fans that loved the sport before The Ultimate Fighter. There were very few places where you could get good MMA media at the time, but Breen stood out as not just knowledgeable, but entertaining.

For a team that has only ever had one idea for jersey design, they reached their peak during the T-Mac era where the pin stripes were stars. These are just the same idea they've always had done worse. At a certain point they have to ditch the replace the 'A' with a star, right? https://www.ecapcity.com/cdn/shop/products/orlando-magic-tracy-mcgrady-_1-swingman-jersey-1.jpg?v=1604006029

As someone who as a kid tried most of the submission moves of the late 80s-Early 90s, I feel like all of the pain was in the straight leg when it was applied to me. It was using the bent leg as a fulcrum to hyperextend your knee. I remember the worst was the Crossface Chicken Wing.

I remember having this conversation with someone about how much crime goes unpunished when everyone knows someone committed the crime, but since there isn't any real evidence they just get away with it. I probably know of 5-10 different people who have either shot someone and got away with it or were shot by someone who got away with it (90s crack era was rough around my way). I understand that we can't just lock people up based on conjecture, but if someone who you knew burned your house down, got away with it, and then shot your husband, I can see how you would not have any faith in anything afterwards. This is a terrible story.

I wouldn't go as far as to say that this could be my favorite feud ever, but one of my favorite things in wrestling is when someone gets something overtly ridiculous over with the crowd. It's why I love the People's Elbow, Socko, and all that other shit that only works because the person doing it makes it work. A long-running midcard angle with a rich conman, his personal Repo Man, and his corrupt accountant is right up my alley.

I'm not only OK with this rule, I wish it was instituted across all sports. I don't think you should be rewarded for being a loser, but I really don't think you should be rewarded for being a habitual loser. I say this as a Cleveland sports fan.

Here's the thing, all of them save for Foley would have failed if they stuck with Vince's original idea for them. They all succeeded once they were given the freedom to craft their own characters, which only happened because Vince was all out of ideas and they were going out of business. The thing that no one really brings up is how dumb of an idea the Montreal Screwjob was at the time. Bret Hart was the guy who should have been champion at the time, but Vince wanted to get behind Shawn Michaels. Michaels vs. Austin at Wrestlemania 14 was a big match, but I don't think it's anywhere close to what the blowoff of the Austin vs. Hart feud could have been. If they keep Hart around, I'm almost certain their best period is significantly better. All the guys you named above would have had great matches with Bret Hart, but they decided to screw him over at the worst possible time for everybody involved. They could not have foreseen Shawn Michaels' back injury, but even still Hart was absolutely the better choice to be the champion at the time. They succeeded despite Vince, not because of Vince. He's not a genius, he's just the guy in charge when the actual geniuses saved his company.

Vince is the dude who goes to one of those farms that feeds animals, shoots a deer, and calls himself a hunter. And by chance he doesn't make a kill, he buys the next farm over, brings all those animals over, and shoots one of them. If he actually had to go out and track an animal and kill it, I'm not sure he could do it. But when all the animals are gathered around his feeder, he can recognize the animal who's head would look best on his wall.

I want everybody to remember this shit when I pushback on Vince being a genius. He caught lightning in a bottle a couple of times, but he has far more dumbass ideas than good ideas, and even fewer great ideas.

If they never had exclusive NFL and Star Wars licenses, would EA still be in business? I fell like they fuck up so much that they should have failed a long time ago, but Madden and Star Wars games were printing enough money that they couldn't actually fail.

In the words of the late great poet and philosoper Albert Johnson, "Ain't no such thing as halfway crooks." You can't expect to do gangsta shit with non-gangstas, and expect them to behave like gangstas when the heat is on.

I honestly wonder about all the guys who seem to legitimately like Vince. Even if you remove all the crazy sexual shit, there is so many things that would make me hate working for him. I can't even imagine having to do my job in a way that is hugely uncomfortable because of my boss' stupid sense of humor.

LOL, Mike Rotunda is perhaps my least favorite wrestler of all time. He's the wrestler who's work I've seen the most without enjoying any of it. Hogan was at least entertaining before I realized he was a huge piece of shit.

To paraphrase Bart Simpson when his father was managing country music superstar Lurleen, "As much as I hate Hulk Hogan, you have to love that theme song."

Not only were their matches very entertaining, they are both at their best when they have someone to sell for. If I'm going to watch a Big Show match, I want it to be against someone who can credibly make him bump around like a cruiserweight and Brock is in the same boat. If you give either of those guys an opportunity to sell another power guy's offense, they are going to turn into Shawn Michaels.

I mean, I ain't no snitch, but Log is clearly the kingpin of this particular drug cartel.

The single most obvious drug front...Crumbl Cookies. I have not met a single person who likes those terrible, piece of shit, cookies, but they keep popping up everywhere.

That makes them babyfaces in my book. I was born in Warren, Ohio and about 75% of my family lives within an hour of Cleveland.
