How do you not rework the screenplay when a story about a disillusioned veteran happens to be filmed in a town called Hope!? When I was younger, I wanted to move there, just so I could make puns based off the name. Anyways, they've very proud of their Rambo heritage Love that statue! I used to drive through Hope a few times a year, on my way to the interior, the Rockies, or to Alberta. I would always - always! - have to make the terrible joke a few km down the road that, "Now we are truly beyond Hope." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and ironically the WWE was scheduled to have RAW there for the first time in 10 years last August (that show obviously got cancelled). That being said - the state of CT has been trying to discourage folks from going to Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods so who knows how much Vince wants to dance with the state government there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which gives me some solace, at least. The next generation will definitely have it easier. This country has become less conservative over time, not more, and the people who are railing against the trans community are becoming less relevant with each passing day. Just look at the results from the past 8 general elections. Thirty years ago they complained about homosexuals, and they can't do that anymore so they have to turn their ire on someone. Eventually they'll turn their attention towards someone else once they've figured out they've lost the fight, but there will be even less of them by that point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Meanwhile tickets for Wrestlemania which was supposed to go on sale tomorrow has been postponed AGAIN. I assume that this is kind of related to the NXT COVID issue. Either that or Vince is such a dumbass that he is trying to squeeze 40K to 50K. If that happens it will be mostly on the back of Floridans. Only so many lime green T shirt front row guys who will travel regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I think you're fooling yourself if you think the WrestleMania crowd will be mainly made up of people from Florida. Wrestling fans from every state can be idiots too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) I wonder what % of Mania fans the last decade are international, since i presume they cant go this year. would they actually sellout the Bucs Stadium this year if they were allowed to sell or give away all the tickets?

Wrestling fans from every state can be idiots too. I don't know maybe me but the idea of planning a weekend out of state without tickets is dumb to me. Unless you are green T shirt guy who either has them on lock already or makes so much money you can deal with it. I guess it really depends on how good business is for rest of weekend shows like Collective and Wrestlecon are doing based on this delay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I think I read the on-sale date has just been moved from Wednesday to Saturday, but nothing official has been announced yet. But I'm almost positive there's a large section of fans from anything, be it things like music festivals or whatever, that start planning trips like this without tickets.

odessasteps Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Back to something from last week.. watching a Kelly Kiniski vs Jesse Barr match from 82 mid south and bob roop on commentary was telling them to get mean and said “when a defensive lineman knocks put a qb, they give him a gold star for his helmet. Look at Hacksaw Duggan. They kicked him out of football for being too rough and that serves him well in wrestling.’’ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 5 hours ago, John from Cincinnati said: Charlotte will star as a Tuscon cop in a Walking Tall remake on USA. Is this the place to crack wise about who the producers really wanted before the company offered them Charlotte? Or do I need to take it down to the movie section? No.. we can do it here probably. i'm reminded by the story the other day about WWE having a talent agency division now and seeing as this will air on USA which is owned by NBC.. i'd guess this was pretty much an in-house thing.

Bellator is getting ready to come back in April, and I think they're going to run about every week until summer or whatever. 2 hours ago, RIPPA said: The only reason I see this not happening is because Dana is running the Vystar Memorial Arena in Jacksonville and I am assuming the WWE isn't bold enough... yet... to run live shows in Jacksonville I kinda said this in the MMA forum a few days ago, but Dana is basically creating pressure on these cities and their leaders to bend to his will. Couldn't get into Texas yet? Make it known you're trying to go and make one of these mayors try to change course. And it's already been known that UFC is not willing to run outside of the UFC Apex in Vegas (their own facility across the street from the UFC offices) or Abu Dhabi (a paid deal) unless they can run at full capacity. Jacksonville would be a terrible choice for WWE for right now because AEW has been there for a year and likely going to be close to a year and half by the time they start running somewhere else.

Brian Fowler Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I'm a few days late on this, but I just want to say, it is absolutely not uncommon for someone to come to a fast food restaurant, order a truly preposterous amount of food, and drive off. And when the kitchen is 12-15 sandwiches deep into the order, with four baskets of fries down, and then front slowly realizes that they aren't in line... That's a fair amount of wasted product. And sometimes managers or crew get in trouble for excessive waste. So I totally get why the DQ was skeptical, and Cornette was being an asshole per usual. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
