Oh hell yes. It's not "north and south," it's "urban and rural." I lived in a more rural town in northern Maryland for a while and saw a pickup flying the confederate flag. That's when I knew it was time to move. Shit, if you drive from where I live (DC suburbs) to the Maryland seashore, you'll see some proper Deliverance type shit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we're being serious: English speakers don't generally say "married with" to indicate spousehood. Sammy Guevara is married to Tay Melo, not married with Tay Melo. And note how "married with children" was a common phrase long before it became the name of a sitcom, and it generally implies neither pedophilia nor bigamy. You could make an argument that adding a comma after "married" would be advisable, as it reduces the risk of misunderstanding. But there was nothing actually wrong with the sentence as written. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Green Meanie Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 PWTorch reports that Kevin Kelly has been let go by AEW. His recent social media comments against Ian Riccaboni over the weekend led to his termination. Additionally, Kelly's on-air performances were deemed below par within AEW, with Tony Schiavone stepping in to assume the lead play-by-play role a few months into Collision's run, a move reportedly supported by Tony Khan. 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryArchieGus Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) I’d be down for that, and the Canadian tour would add fuel to any Magic fire, but the Killswitch loss seemed to indicate a Peoples Champion run is unlikely. I’m a huge fan but his money is with his mouth. I’d like to see him with a regular weekly Color gig (he’s too good not to have one), but I also want him as Heenan to Garcia’s Bockwinkel. Even more so when they find their collective way back to the dark side. Edited March 8 by HarryArchieGus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I support this fully. We're not gonna get into it here, but in addition to being the shits in the booth, he's also a nutbar. And on a "win/win" note, I'm always beyond overjoyed to hear TS open the show with "You are looking LIVE at..." 1 hour ago, Krone said: But he's just starting his DDP-esque push.

Zimbra Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 The most realistic angle AEW has ever run is Angelo Parker getting a new punk rock girlfriend and just immediately ditching all his own friends.

Kevin Wilson Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I remember in the old days, there was a rumor that WBD wanted AEW to have less 'surprise' debuts and rather wanted them announced, because then maybe more people would watch if their favorite wrestler was going to appear. The way that AEW doing it now is really weird and I don't understand how it benefits the promotion. Someone "leaked" that Okada would be on Dynamite so some people knew, but why not announce it in advance? Same with Sasha, all the online people know she is appearing but why not make it a big press release? Billboards in Boston with Sasha's face on it, telling everyone she will be at the show? Not every wrestling fan is online and reads wrestling news, and while TK heavily implied it with his announcement last month, why not just hype it properly? I don't think there was a mention on Dynamite at all, even a hint, of what should be a big deal to AEW. I understand there are times the complete surprise pop works, and I like it for PPVs (for example when Bryan Danielson showed up), but doing *wink wink* debuts for Dynamite seems silly. Sasha and Okada are two wrestlers that deserve a proper (minimally) weeks-long build-up both on TV and equally importantly local advertising, not every wrestler debut has to be under the radar or non-advertised. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
