The Wayne Ferris Wheel

I figure there's at least a 40% chance it's Kane, so I'm looking forward the possibility of hat-eating-pictures. Really? You "figured" that number out? Show your work.

I like Pro Wrestling because it's fun. And it's a totally unique form of theatre.

And the award for "Most Obvious Joke That Everyone Has Done" goes to....😉

Reigns not being "protected" is part of the redemption tour.

That's why I was such a total ROH freak back in 2004-2006. The roster was filled with all different kinds of wrestlers. I fucking LOVED Carnage Crew. And now that Ring Crew Express was brought up, I'd lose my shit to see them return and fight the Young Bucks.

There's no way it's Kane. If it is I'll eat my hat.

I'd imagine Eric Rowan would be the choice.

Any room he enters has a high ceiling. Thank you, please tip your wait staff

The Cheeseburger hate has less to do with his size than it does with dumb bells thinking "ROH is REAL wrestling and guys like him shouldn't be there" and related stupidity.

If it's what a person does for a living then it's a job. No matter how difficult it is.

When I was a 13 year old kid it was more like an urban legend. "Did you know that Jummy Snuka killed a woman? Yeah, they were fucking in a hotel room and he did the Superfly leap from the dresser onto her lying on the bed and accidentally killed her, dude."

There's no way I'd still be watching wrestling without looking at it through a hypercritical eye as you phrase it. There's only a limited amount of enjoyment to be had from experiencing pro wrestling on the surface level. If following storylines and supporting all the fan favourites is good enough for someone then I don't look down on them. Most pure marks only watch for as long as they're enjoying themselves. The worst place to be is the middle ground. Being a smark isn't about knowing it's a work. Nor about knowing insider terms or backstage gossip. When fans spend all their time complaining and fantasy booking then it's all too easy to forget that it's meant to be fun. Hoping for things that probably won't happen rather than accepting them for what they are. If you don't appreciate what you're seeing then seek a better path. Ultimately what has kept me a fan for over 20 years is a deep love of the art of pro wrestling. I don't mind about knowing the result in advance. It doesn't bother me knowing the match duration or what's about to happen. It's about enjoying the journey. There's pleasure to be had in the extraneous aspects, but match quality is the core. That's why I mainly watch historical wrestling. Expectation of high quality wrestling rather than hope. There's no 'one great art' to watching a match. You're just making personal comparisons against prior experiences and expectations. Finding things that you like or don't like to see. There's many different ways of looking at things, and that's what makes wrestling endlessly fascinating to me. Analysing and determining what constitutes good wrestling is what being a smark really is. I look upon the Yearbook threads as a great tapestry with thousands of layers. All the time people come up with observations and viewpoints that I'd never have considered. Some of them may be fascinating, others pointless or far fetched. The opinions of others naturally shape your own over the course of time. It's all about you though at the end of the day. If trying to view wrestling in a certain way isn't enjoyable then don't do it. The path to enlightenment is about maximising your own wrestling experience.

Thing is WWE IS good at it. They're production work on this stuff is fantastic. It makes me fucking get all choked up just as much, if not more, as any other company who does the same thing. And I'm as aware of the manipulation going on as anyone. I've seen really bad "Here's What We Do" from companies , the WWE ain't one of them.

I was higher than anyone watching this.

Are you REALLY worried ?😀 "Honey, I'm worried. The rent is due and it looks like it's going to be tight, so the kids aren't getting the new sneakers for the new school year. Oh and Grammie is getting more confused by the day. To top that off, I'm thinking the Dudley Boyz might win the WWE Tag belts. Oh and my Cousin Phil has AIDS. "

And a book can start off shitty and be great. "IT" was terrible and boring for a hundred pages and then it became awesome.

That's dead on. At the end of the day, NXT IS WWE. This idea that it's somehow a different company is silly.

Elgin ?

You're talking about Austin vs Angle here right? I thought I gave it a fair shake no? I even watched the hype package. I'm the dummy. I was talking about Survivor Series Austin vs Bret.

They are rebuilding him. WrestleMania through right now has been the redemption tour. Its fucking obvious.

While I'm sure Kevin Kelly has tits that could fill Mandy's bustier, I'd rather look at her giant cans .

Parv, you stink. That Summerslam match, while a bit over rated , and NOT as good as Mania 13, is fucking awesome. The build to it was super important and you obviously didn't bother with it. Which is sloppy criticism of a performance, and I'm ashamed of you and you need to think about what you've done. And then say you're sorry for being a dumb bell.

I just thought it was cool that the whole "WWE IS GONNA ERASE HIM" thing isn't now part of the Network , which is smart.

Boy, that "Inside ROH" with the hottest piece of wood chick this week was something. She has all the charisma of a park bench. And yet, she was actually better than the two promos from Kyle "I'm a kid in a white T Shirt who looks scarily like Neidermeyer's illegitimate kid" O'Reilly. and then apparently they took all the decent takes of probably 234 attempts of that Strong promo shoot and edited them together so badly that Ed Wood would have said, "That's awful." Better cuts were done during the Tate/ LaBianca murders. And Daniels' General outfit is fucking awesome. The Addiction fucking own it. They come off as stars and veterans who know how this is done.
