C.S. Posted June 24, 2020 Report Posted June 24, 2020 What the fuck is this?! Are they Christians and this is sincere? Are they mocking Christians? Are they fans of "Captain Charisma" Christian Cage? Someone help me out here... What am I missing??? Quote
sek69 Posted June 24, 2020 Report Posted June 24, 2020 They are sincere. The whole family are diehard Christians, their dad and little bro was known to get nutty about it on Facebook at times before the Bucks made it big. Quote

Although, I have to assume some Christians might object to the "AF" part of it. But if the Bucks are sincere, good for them. It's a nice shirt. Certainly miles ahead of the badly designed crap WWE puts out. I could actually see people wearing this to a concert or something (but probably not to church, lol). Quote
sek69 Posted June 24, 2020 Report Posted June 24, 2020 It is odd since it can easily come off as them mocking it if you don't know their beliefs. Quote
El-P Posted June 24, 2020 Report Posted June 24, 2020 It comes from Omega on a previous episode of BTE telling Page that the Bucks were "Christians as fuck !" because they would not come with them have a drink (of milk, for Omega, of course, but still). Quote
Migs Posted June 24, 2020 Report Posted June 24, 2020 It is a great shirt for a Christian rock band. Quote
Superstar Sleeze Posted June 24, 2020 Report Posted June 24, 2020 Now I just imagine Jericho & The Young Bucks rocking out to Stryper before every major show! To Hell With The Devil! Quote
MoS Posted June 24, 2020 Report Posted June 24, 2020 Wait, are there DVDVR archives available from that era? I thought everything from that time was lost forever. Or did someone take a screenshot like 15 years ago and played the longest of long games. Quote

That was probably the most screenshotted thread in the history of message boards (at least wrestling related ones) so I'm not shocked someone still has them and put 2 and 2 together. Quote

sek69 Posted June 26, 2020 Report Posted June 26, 2020 Sammy seems like an alright dude who said something (extremely) stupid and regrets it, and is willing to take his lumps for it. I do think it opened a window on a culture that would seemingly allow such "jokes" without any concern of how it would sound to someone outside the bubble, and that seems to be something all this is shining a light on.

Stiva Posted June 28, 2020 Report Posted June 28, 2020 I had no idea that they did a Britt Baker photo shoot and it’s hilarious. Quote
Stiva Posted July 5, 2020 Report Posted July 5, 2020 Brian Pillman Jr is debuting on Dark this Tuesday. Quote

Agreed. I was just thinking about the Sammy situation. He was 21 when he cracked that rape joke. At the time nobody stood up and said thats not ok. Everybody on the recording laughed along awkwardly as you do when you hear an innappropriate joke. Nobody in charge of the podcast thought to edit out his comments at the time. I think its more an indictment of wrestling's culture that nobody batted an eye at the joke rather than an indictment of Sammy's character for saying it. Truly, I shudder to think what was the most offensive joke I made at that age. I'm just glad my generation didn't record all of our mistakes and put them up on the internet. Quote
El-P Posted July 16, 2020 Report Posted July 16, 2020 So, Tony Khan was a guest on Eric Bischoff's podcast and was all about how he was a fan of WCW and learned so much from it. Two funny quotes from Uncle Eric : When Khan talked about how he studied Nitro from 96 to 98 : Eric : "Stay away from WCW 1999 at all cost !" When Khan said he actually asked a question during an old Prodigy chat, Bischoff popped. Then Khan said "You did not draw enough to keep Prodigy alive though." to which Eric replied "I didn't draw enough to keep WCW alive !" Honestly, I wouldn't mind to have Eric as a guest on Dynamite at some point. He's always a great performer no matter what and it would be cool to see him appear on what really is the followup to Nitro in many ways. Quote
C.S. Posted July 17, 2020 Report Posted July 17, 2020 Jim Ross definitely isn't a company shill for AEW the way he was for WWE. Hard to argue against any of his points though... https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2020/07/jim-ross-says-brian-cage-doesnt-need-taz-672530/ Quote
El-P Posted July 17, 2020 Report Posted July 17, 2020 Except he doesn't understand that Cage does need Taz, at the very least for now. Cage is not a good promo nor a great personality (in the ring at least). He does need someone who cuts strong promos on his side (like Taz in AEW) or on the other side to trigger him and the emotional reactions of the fans (like Sami Callihan did in IMPACT where he really made Cage look better than he ever had in term of a character, also thanks to Melissa Santos). Quote
sek69 Posted July 17, 2020 Report Posted July 17, 2020 Yeah saying "he doesn't need Taz" overlooks how great his promos built up the match. I'm sure it would have been okay without him, but he made it feel like must-see TV. Quote
El-P Posted July 17, 2020 Report Posted July 17, 2020 Indeed. Lance Archer doesn't need Jake Roberts. Nyla really doesn't need Vickie. But Cage absolutely needs Taz, and Taz has cut the best promos of the last few months. Quote
Ricky Jackson Posted July 17, 2020 Report Posted July 17, 2020 The headline of that article is the very definition of misleading and Ross should be pissed at them for stirring up drama. Ross just questioned Taz standing in front of Cage during promos, and that Cage needs to show more personality, not that Cage "doesn't need Taz" Quote
Boss Rock Posted July 18, 2020 Report Posted July 18, 2020 I did think it was a bit weird Cage would be pacing while Taz would point behind himself only for Cage to not be there. Should've just stood there and mean mugged the camera. But yeah I really like the Taz-Cage duo. Quote
