Please, just kill the website already. I'm begging. Kill the website and force all of the big users to go to Bluesky or Threads. They are the only reason Twitter has any value remaining.

I really don't understand how anybody with options would actively work with Zaslav at this point, because he clearly doesn't give a shit about you or anything that isn't a reality show on one of his shitty Discovery networks.

It's a fine line between whatever internal memo TKO probably put out about what can be said when the topic comes out, and basic humans whom (I'm just gonna assume at the moment) had no clue about any of the bullshit that went down and not knowing how to separate the monster with the guy who set them up for the rest of their lives in fame/financially. I just don't want this to start devolving into every wrestling nutjob with an axe to grind (the Rybacks of the world) to start getting attention with baseless (I'm hoping) accusations that undermine the real victims out there... Yeah, the Ryback stuff is only a millimeter better than Hausman because he at least has names and he was in the lockerroom and didn't try some vague "Google it, bro" BS but both have the same amount of care and foresight for any victims, especially in the case of care and support for any victims which is exactly -100. There's also a little bit of credibility to Ryback's statements once you look at the names he's talking about. We do know something went down between Cena and Riley, what exactly it was is unknown but we know Cena didn't like Riley for whatever reason. Kaitlyn is, well, a former body builder and was one of the more muscular women in the company the last couple of decades.. There's never been a hint at her and Hunter being involved in anything, but the guy who used to date Chyna also finding Kaitlyn attractive maybe is not quite as ridiculous a given scenario as Vince shitting on a woman was even just six weeks ago. Obviously I'm not saying Ryback is right or wrong or that she signed an NDA, nor should we assume that to be a fact. But it's possible.

Foley wrote that part of it too was that they went from having no Socko signs the week they did the angle, to some Socko signs at house shows that weekend, to just a ton of them at Raw the next week. A sweatsock got more over than 90% of the roster did

It's still insane to me that at one point Ole was the booker of not one but two major promotions at the exact same time. The business eventually passed him by but in his day he was just a gifted mind.

I think that Mother 3 is more about it being an extremely difficult game to translate in a way that would be socially acceptable under modern American sensibilities. The Magypsies, for example, would be considered very offensive and I think they would have to be completely altered for an American release. There's a lot of scenes of animal abuse. TanTane island is basically an acid trip. All of that to say, it wouldn't really be a matter of just doing a 1:1 translation for an American release...I think there would have to be substantive changes, and that's what makes it financially non-viable. I think the fact that Nintendo has never shut down the fan translation despite being aggressively protective of its IP signals that it's unlikely there will ever be an "official" translation, and Nintendo is comfortable with just allowing the Western fans who really want to play the game to play it that way. Nintendo usually doesn't give a shit about things like this ftr, outside of Pokemon which they don't have full control over. Their big thing is more if you've uploaded a ROM straight up (which the translation team did not do nor do they advocate for it), if you're trying to sell the game, if you've recreated a game (ie they don't want people to play your HD Mario 64 in Unreal 3, they consider that competition), if you make a porno featuring the Super Mario Bros., or if you even think of Smash Bros. as a competitive fighting game.

Another option they have now is to bring back the idea of Cody v Rock in night one with the winner facing Reigns in night two, then Cody v Reigns in night two with Rock costing Reigns the match.

I can't imagine Trump is part of Vince's various sex scandals in that he's been maybe the most scrutinized person in the country over the last decade. I can't imagine all the reporters on that beat just ignoring the WWE tree and not looking into it at all. Even if it's "just wrestling".

Really funny that I think everybody who was on the fan ballot that didn’t get voted in were removed from the nominee list.

Another big difference between Bret and Cornette is that Cornette is essentially a shock jock who wants you to listen to his podcasts and buy his shit. He's a work-shoot. Bret is a grandpa who at most goofs off with his family on Tik Tok and doesn't need to go out and get clicks and views by saying outrageous statements. He'll give interviews like this from time to time but doesn't make a habit of it.

These are the same people that gave us Arkham Asylum and City. What happened? Not the same people, most of them are long gone from Rocksteady.

I would have her spend the next three months doing nothing but house and dark show matches with Natalya as far as matches go. I think she’d come out of that looking really phenomenal

One benefit is that at the very least, Vince did not have that many big Mania moments as a wrestler. As far as what they could have picked as a showcase
- They weren’t going to do the Shane match from 17 or the Bret match from 26. - They might have done Hogan at 19, but there are more interesting matches on that card and the visual of him looking at the camera all bloodied may be a bit much for the company anyway. By the nature of the game mode, you also have to do like 90% of Hogan’s Mania matches anyway so this may not have fit in anyway for balance.
So then you have him as a non-wrestler, and considering how they do that mode anyway now, they can always just cut him out or blur his face out. You probably can’t do the Mania 15 or 17 mains, though.

Not like the other games were balanced at all but lol this is gonna be hilarious when someone just takes a SaibaMan and shows off how f*** busted the character is because no one cared to even try and balance 160+ characters. See, to me, the lack of balance is part of the fun. Characters aren't power-scaled based on what the ongoing meta is, or who needs buffing/nerfing to make them "viable", they're power-scaled based on how strong they were in the show. If your opponent picks Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta, and you decide to pick Raditz, you'd better be really good at the game, because SS4 Gogeta is objectively better than Raditz in every conceivable way- just like in the show. The Budokai Tenkaichi/Sparking series is not for competitive gaming. BT/Sparking is made for "wouldn't it be funny if Kid Buu just absolutely shit-stomped Dodoria? Pink supremacy!" It's basically a kid ramming their DBZ action figures together tbh

I thought that Slim Jim was no longer advertising with WWE? Unpaused their advertising campaign this morning.
