Q: Did Kenny Omega already have the dark hair when Hangman left? Did he already get rid of his curly blonde look?

Damian Rey 2.0 10-23-2021 05:14 PM

No i think that’s fairly recent

Lock Jaw 10-23-2021 06:02 PM

Probably made him more "generic looking" so when Hangman came back he would look better.

I’m currently in Canada but I was born, raised and indeed educated in California.

An odd attempt at an insult either way. Lol

That “superior education” logic at work.

They’re pushing Page into the title picture *right now*. Whoops, turned out they did a draw and are ruining Danielson by other metrics. This is like bragging you didn’t miss a turn and kept driving straight into a wall. Had they done it right, they would have ended up just like WWE. How is this a hill to die on?

Not patriotic at all, but more and more I realize how much the US sucks at everything. Australia at least teaches you to use the English language correctly. American English is the fucking worst.

Nah, you can’t read to a tertiary level. You actually cannot process words and generate appropriate meaning. That’s not an odd insult. It’s mean and cheap, but it’s not odd.

Odd is how badly you took being called out for saying AEW should hire good talent wherever they come from, like it’s sage advice anyone was arguing against. Want to to tell a chef to cook food too?

#1-norm-fan 10-24-2021 02:46 AM

Because watching you backtrack and just say shit in a smug manner as if you think it hides the stupidity of your words just digs more of a hole.

So now you’re trying “I just meant they would push him in the title picture! Not that they would ACTUALLY put the title on him!” That’s how you’re gonna try to convince yourself you were right now? Lol

And of COURSE you’re gonna praise the WWE tactic as the RIGHT thing to do to try to divert attention from another smug “lolAEW” fail.

Ya know, just SAYING someone cannot generate appropriate meaning doesn’t work the way you’re hoping it does. It’s blatantly clear how you’re twisting your words after the fact to convince yourself you’re right after being, once again, DEMONSTRABLY WRONG.

#1-norm-fan 10-24-2021 02:51 AM

Now go ahead and talk more about your higher understanding of the English language and kick your feet back when you hit send as if it was the ultimate checkmate.

Dear fan, as someone who leads a relatively normal life with healthy relationships and boundaries, why would you indulge someone who's vile and has no other motivation but to be toxic? The person is in dire need of an intervention. You're enabling his reckless behavior.

Gotta love how "everyone who likes a show I hate is dumb and wrong" became "the US sucks at everything." Didn't think we'd get here.

Noid, you actually did something unpredictable for the first time in like five years.

Sepholio 10-24-2021 02:47 PM

Well it seems that the FoRbIdDeN dOoR is closing. Impact done working with AEW. Funny how one sided that turned out to be.

AAA can't be far from pulling the plug either. Kenny just became the longest reigning AAA Mega Champion ever in terms of single run length. He's had the title for over 2 years now. He's defended it 5 times. Not really a good deal for them either.

screech 10-24-2021 03:19 PM

Does this mean no more Good Brothers in AEW or have they jumped from Impact?

You’re really approaching the deep end. My point was that if pushing Adam Page to the World Title was what they intended, The Dark Order stuff was stupid. You have to argue every little semantic detail and project yourself into everything so hard that you lose sight of everything.

They pulled the plug on Omega/Page. Now they’re doing it again. That they’re doing it defeats the purpose of what you’re obsessing over. They don’t get points for delaying it past the guy’s paternity leave.

At least with Danielson you’ve got a semantical point. They didn’t have Danielson beat Omega. They had them draw with no meaningful follow up and it’s ended up even flatter. Cool argument. :y:

Not true. And correctly is an adverb.

I think one of those mysterious books Noid read while taking his break from wrestling was “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Being Wrong Online but Still Arrogantly Pretending You Were Right.”

I’m guessing there was a chapter about how random xenophobic statements can make you feel like a genius no matter how dumb they sound.

:lol: He wouldn't bother to actually read a book... instead he'd just bitch to strangers how shitty the book was, how much better the book would be if he'd have written it, how much better written other older successful writer's recent books are, and that it wasn't really a best selling book because more young than older people bought it and those sales don't matter as much as the number of older folks who bought other older successful author's recent books.

Get mad at the author for not writing a book good enough to make the other author’s latest books better, rather than being mad at the other author for not writing books that everyone knows they are capable of.

:lol: that is completely normal in Mexico, gringo champion or no.

-edit- I just went to look. The previous champion was Fenix and he held the belt for 420 days and defended it twice (and that was all pre-pandemic).

Evil Vito 10-28-2021 12:14 PM

RE: people online already being like "AEW should buy ROH and make them their development!"

I don't think AEW will ever have a "developmental territory" the way WWE do, because they're happy to have talent working their shows without a firm contract, and their contracted talent working independent shows, and they don't have a "house style" that they need to teach people the way WWE does.

Why go to the effort of having a formalized developmental promotion when you already have a pipeline from a couple of good wrestling schools, and strong relationships with independent promotions, and with promotions overseas? All they really need is to have a couple of people on the books to monitor wrestlers' progress on the indies, rather than trying to get them all under one roof.

If anything, I'd rather see them foster stronger relationships with promotions overseas and do their own sort of version of the Young Lion excursions. This way wrestlers early in their career - say, Nightmare Factory trainees - that they haven't got a spot on TV for yet can go over to Japan, the UK or Mexico to gain a bit of experience.

drave 10-28-2021 01:09 PM

I'd say Dark works fine as developmental without having to have a "separate entity".


Doesn't mean every single person on the show has to be green either. You can pair new talent with veteran or veteran-like talent and go from there. *shrug*
