StevieNippz Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 I don't watch it religiously but I enjoy Asuka's Youtube channel and would be very sad to see it go. And I would never pay for Cameo but it really says something when Big E's reviews are a perfect 5.0. I imagine he's one to go all out on something like that which is admirable since I've seen lots of clips where people put in zero effort. 3
NikoBaltimore Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Just now, Ultimo Necro said: Man, genuinely, what have I done wrong for enjoying a little wrestling? I get everything that’s going on, but Roman and Heyman killed it. For once I actually want to give the shithole of a promotion props. I’ve defended Impact on here for like 10 years in spite of WWE, I live abroad, I genuinely don’t know why I’ve pissed you off? I'm sorry if you thought that but you're an awesome dude. Please forgive me if you thought I was coming down on your post because that wasn't the intention. Fair play to them I'm glad they finally figured out how to book Roman and Heyman with him sounds great. And Roman is an incredible person who I'll always love. 3

My 40+ ass looks at things from a simple point of view. Wrestling is my escape from the shit that others less fortunate than me don’t get. I’m hyper critical of stuff for the most part. I don’t dive into the politics where it can be avoided. Apologies if I offended you man. Hugs? Edited September 5, 2020 by Ultimo Necro 3
Nice Guy Eddie Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 @NikoBaltimore and @Ultimo Necro have got to give the people what they want. 9

It's pretty bad when Twitter is the more mature and responsible outlet in social media. 2
Custos Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) DVDVR is my social medium of choice, besides the odd dip into reddit to get a taste of what’s occurring in the wider IWC, which took a wild turn sideways with the cesspool of humanity exposed through Speaking Out. Kudos to anyone who sheds the negativity, I stole the line from podcaster Jeff Cannatta that I used in a previous post, love loving the stuff that you love, like the username Stevie Nipps. Edit not to just make this post a forum love-in, I was thinking listening to Tony Khan on his conference call, with him consuming all the crash TV era of wrestling in his formative years, how long before he leans into it and introduces a Russo-esque obnoxious alter ego. We already had the ode to ECW with the Janela hardcore stuff. Edited September 5, 2020 by Custos 3
The Natural Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) Well said. Edited September 5, 2020 by The Natural 9
Shartnado Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 So, I take it nothing important or interesting happened while I was sleeping? *looks around* How long was I out for F's sakes? 7
Custos Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 What’s that Lenin quote (probably butchered) there’s decades when a year passes and weeks when decades pass? 2

Custos Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) That’s the one, I should have looked it up first. CM Punk chief shit stirrer along with Gail Kim, Renee, Andrew Yang and the rest of the rag-tag band of misfits and misanthropes is a great source of amusement too. Sometimes these things grow arms and legs. I know this contradicts my points on social media above but occasionally one gives into ones baser urges. Oh shit that sounds amazingly pompous and holier than thou. Okay, we’re all pieces of shit. Is that better? This neurosis is why I don’t do social media much... Edited September 5, 2020 by Custos 3
BurningBeard Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 God I’d love it if that Andrew Yang does half of what he said. It’s always blown my mind that NWA was part of a federal antitrust investigation and yet WWE keeps tootling along in 2020 with its independent contractor bullshit 1
Casey Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 And Linda McMahon runs a pro-Trump superPAC and is an ex-cabinet member, so that explains the 2020 part. 1
Ryan Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Even our fun quotes can't be trusted~! Probably made up by someone who read Marx or maybe not. I'm attributing it to myself now, everyone must say the quote originated with me. I stake this claim. https://citaty.net/citaty/1459873-vladimir-lenin-there-are-decades-when-weeks-happen-and-weeks-whe/
Leonidas Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 If I was AEW I'd start marketing themselves towards actual wrestlers. "Come work for us, we'll let you be creative, we'll discuss indie dates, we'll give you equal opportunity for merchandise and growth, oh and we don't mind if you have a twitch or cameo account, make as much money as you want!" They'd have enough wrestlers for five shows let alone the rumoured second. 2
Casey Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 I'm pretty sure most wrestlers already know that about AEW, though.

The Natural Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 2 minutes ago, Ryan said: Seth would cut that promo regardless. Beat me to it. Great minds think alike so the saying goes.
Ryan Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Which one of us thinks they have the great mind? I assume both, since we think alike. *nods pensively* 1
Shartnado Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 I suppose this goes without saying, and I'm being quite the captain obvious here, but I'll say it anyway. If Vince would ever get duly cracked down on his shady practices and forced to do right by his work force, THAT would be the time he'd say "I don't like this anymore" and sell the company ( if there was a company to sell, or any takers for that matter) rather than make the necessary changes. Kind of like in Bojack Horseman, when the people in power were facing the options of having women carry handguns in order to feel safe, abolish guns altoghther or make legislation that helps women feel more safe without having to carry guns, they chose abolishing guns altogether. Because they just flat out refused to do right by women, so much that they didn't even consider that an option. Same with Vince, most assuredly. 3
