I think Dolly Parton might literally be the only celeb that it's safe to like these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 And, as John Oliver highlighted, she had a romanticized Civil War dinner theatre in which a confederate soldier served you your chicken and cola. We're doomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 It's fine, everybody's a little bit shitty. On another note, I want some chicken and cola. Coca-Cola or RC, I don't care which. Just none of that Pepsi garbage. There's another reason CM Punk sucked. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're doomed. At least she acknowledged it was wrong and removed the term Dixie from the name of the whole thing and I think a lot of the Civil War related stuff. My parents went there before the change a few years ago and gave me 3 free t-shirts that said Dixie Stampede on them. I refused to wear them and he wears them around instead.

Coletti Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 14 hours ago, Edwin said: MJF. I think this is my first time seeing him out of character and it is a little jarring, because like people have said he has maintained kayfabe EXTREMELY well. I was legitimately starting to think he was an actual prick because nobody can be that good of an actor As for people coming off as pricks with such ease, David Starr being a sleaze doesn't surprise me. Even though there are plenty of things but he has said about politics and workers rights that I am completely in agreement with, I have never really liked the dude or enjoyed hearing him talk. He definitely came off as the kind of dude that patted himself on the back for his beliefs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyJ Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Steiner is a case of someone who didn't nail his character until he was half broken down. So I think people fantasize of what it would of looked like if he put all the pieces together five or six years before. I was trying to think of other examples of wrestlers who fell into this category. Mark Henry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I want to see Mark Henry doing a bunch of suplexes to guys before he figures out his character. He'd german people into the front row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like he spent a lot of time on the shelf even early in his career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Considering how big he was and how well he could move for his size, it's not surprising he was injured a lot. That body size isn't meant to be that mobile. He used to be able to dunk a basketball afterall. I don't care if he's 6'3", at that weight, that's absurd.

The NBA has really made people underestimate the athleticism it takes to dunk a basketball. The average 6'3" dude cannot dunk a basketball, the average 370 pound man can't dunk on a nerf hoop. Do you guys remember the football player Shaun Rogers? He was a 6'4" 350+ lb. defensive tackle, who blocked 17 kicks in his career. There was a rumor that he pulled of a 360 dunk in a charity hoops game...that's fucking insane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Hero Morganti Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 As an average 6'3 man, dunking is hard. If i stand flat I can touch an 8 foot ceiling. I then need to jump at least 2 more feet in the air to touch a regulation hoop. To actually dunk I have to jump at least 2ft plus the size of hte ball I am trying to dunk to get it over the rim, and have that jump peak out even higher than that. So yeah, dunking is hard, especially if you don't train for it. Short dudes dunking means they have some ridiculously powerful legs. Fat dudes dunking means they have some ludicrously powerful legs and might even go plaid with their hops. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 5'7" and at the peak of my athleticism I used to be able to grab the rim with both hands, I never got anywhere close to dunking a basketball. Athletically, my biggest attribute is that I've always had crazy lower body strength. With that said, I probably had 40 lbs. on Spud Webb, but winning the dunk contest at 5'7" is absurd.

Ryan Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) On the Spud Webb note, good grief. 5'5". He has to have well over a 40 inch vert to do that. Even crazier. Edited June 18, 2020 by Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
