Maven must have a beat on the YouTube algorithm/thumbnail algorithm, because that man is in my suggested videos ALL the time despite only subbing to one wrestling channel. I did run into a Stevie Richards video, which was much more of interest. Which, nothing against Maven, but it seems like people would more readily seek out Stevie's content whereas Maven is gaming the system in a way.

Currently watching some old impact and during the MEM run and that boy had negative charisma He has always been great in the ring and the personality will shine more soon but he is right now probably my most hated guy behind Mick Foley on the shows Negative charisma? He was the shining star of the PCS. He's still friends with Nash because of their similar wit. Always reminded me of a less technical young Jericho. Well traveled, undersized, long haired dude who could easily play a babyface or a smarmy chickenshit heel. Fly a little, chain wrestle, mat a little, comes up with nice counters or sequences. I always thought he was better than Sabin, nice to see him finally get his shine. He's a cool guy on Twitter too, which helps a lot. Also, isn't it funny how often guys get a different way to make a living and then are pushed further? Like Brock has never been pushed harder or made more money or had to work less than when he didn't need the WWE at all. Shelley semi-retired and reached heights he never came close to before.

So when I thought for sure that my 7-team parlay was going to die with Utah down late, so I bet another parlay with the 4 bets I mentioned earlier and both hit. I'm up $175 today.

Utah with a COMPLETELY undeserved miracle cover. I'm not complaining, this makes up for Week 0/1

Colorado is a lot of fun to watch. Should be great games against SC and Oregon.

Giants fans just want this miserable season to be over and for Farhan to get shitcanned. Wanna trade records with us Cardinals fans? We’d love to have a “missrable” season where we’re 3 games back of a playoff spot a week into September lol. If this dipshit team blows a chance at a top 5 pick on meaningless September games after showing us only a lost season for 5 months, I'm gonna lose my shit.

The baseball season is so ridiculously long that it seems like forever ago that everyone thought Elly was the next big thing and Volpe was gonna be sent back to the minors, and now Elly has hit a hard wall and Volpe is finishing up on a solidly underrated rookie year.

So you think this is frustration born out of a couple match results 2 years and 65 pages into a thread? Which isn't to say I'm expecting anything less. Being snide to every post that might disagree with you isn't exactly helping anything I'm not putting down or dismissing how you feel, I just said I'm surprised, that's all. I get the unease of if they follow up and that it was losses, but Starks and Hobbs looked made tonight, and did in fact have the best matches of their careers I want to praise the performers for that, if they don't follow up it's a huge whiff on the companies part, but them being featured as they are tells me the company gives a shit about them, and Danielson basically said the match was as good as it was BECAUSE of Ricky tonight. Take them to the moon. If I'm snide, and that's not really aggressive just mentioning that you've been kind of hitting the same notes, it's because you've had no post in here that isn't really dismissive of the subject. Like, it's not hard to notice a theme. I feel like you look at it more from the perspective of there being something critical of this product that you love than wondering if segments of the roster aren't really cared for in an even-handed way. There's plenty of the same criticism for the way the women have been booked, kinda just an afterthought at times. I've gone from the original thread and saying that they need more time and not really rushing to judgment to this thread saying that they need to make it a priority, to pointing out that it's really egregious a long time ago to now just losing interest because it's kinda the same thing over and over again. But with you, it's this overarching theme of it'll get better, it'll get better, it'll get better. And it's not that I don't want to believe that, it's that I think we're behind where this topic should be 4 years in to the point where I lose interest in the product. And I really wish you'd try to understand that. It's not that I hate AEW or Tony or you or this sub. It's that it's worn on me to see things that I see in the real world that I'd rather not get reflected in the product. Being a POC and coming up in a black community, you see people get treated different and you hear "Oh well, it's not like that" or "I'm sorry you feel that way" or "You're overreacting" or "You're playing the race card" or "I don't think Person X is like that". It's like you can see something and really, genuinely think "That's not right. I want to see that change." And the kind of pleasantries about it really grate on you after a while. Because while people might mean well, it just comes off more as absolving it. I don't like getting this deep. I'm out.

Stunned that people saw that Hobbs match and that Starks match and said "I'm done with AEW" Not my point to judge but it's crazy to me, they both might've just had the best matches of their entire careers, I get being mad they lost, but this is nowhere near some lost cause. So you think this is frustration born out of a couple match results 2 years and 65 pages into a thread? Which isn't to say I'm expecting anything less.

Yeah, this night is just like all the others. Hey they can kinda make Hobbs with a clean win here. Awww. Hey, they can kinda make Starks with a clean win here. Awww. Oh look, Takeshita gets a clean win over this huge star. It just isn't that important to them, not sure how else to take it at this point. College football is on Saturday nights and Survivor is coming back on Wednesdays, so it works out. Thinking Hobbs or Starks should have won is one thing; complaining they lost while Takeshita won is tantamount to "diversity is just black people". Does not seem necessary and is such a weird American thing. I'm not getting into a diversity pissing contest, but I feel like it's wildly disingenuous to come up with that bad of an argument ignoring the entirety of the discourse of both this entire thread and the one that preceded it even earlier in AEW's run. I'm Mexican btw, so I really dig being told my scope of diversity is only applied to black people. Shoehorning that and American POV in this discussion is a little tone deaf. "You would think X because you are X." Oh buddy. I'm not complaining about Takeshita winning. You're missing my point. But I don't think this is the place for this discussion, so I'll just say I very strongly disagree with your statements and I think they're in worse faith than you may seem to think "Hey, you're being hypocritical" vs genuinely trying to understand where I'm coming from. But I don't think given this starting point that it's fruitful for me to get into it further.

College football is on Saturday nights and Survivor is coming back on Wednesdays, so it works out. The Starks I can slightly defend just because that match did for his career in one night the previous months with Jericho/Punk. This was a case of looking good in defeat but if you ask me do I believe in TK to follow up on this performance I do not HOWEVER, Hobbs should won. Looks especially shitty when one of the rumored feuds and Ls that Miro turned down was against Hobbs. I can excuse it, but I'm just tired of having to. Which isn't to say that these big, starmaking wins aren't right around the corner, but we've been told to just wait so many times that it feels a lot like Charlie Brown and the football. This sucks.

He owes all of his success to beating up Wheeler Yuta.

If Hobbs loses, I riot. A very safe, 1-man riot.

Florida St last year had Travis running for his life. The protection is better this year, but the WRs are dropping everything.
