I feel like this is the perfect thread to berate people over their shitpinions on social issues

If you didn't like me you shoulda thrown even more fire at me! But I digress.
I really sound like I'm putting on an air of superiority? It took a while for me to come around to the shit I was saying that was problematic and the closed mindset I have. I've been doing my best to engage people that I believe feel the same as me inside but are convinced they're not perpetuating any more bullshit - which is how I had felt, and it took a lot of work with someone to sit down and explain to me that "here, this is what you're doing wrong and here is why it's bad. It doesn't make YOU bad, but you need to understand."
Part of it might be that I truly do consider WrassleGAF a very, VERY progressive community. There's another community I come by every once in a while and it's night and day regarding the differences - but 3 years ago, you wouldn't have seen any difference between the two. I do believe we've come forward and will continue to be a progressive community people can want their other communities to be like, which is great.
I'll do my best to not sound patronizing in the future - didn't realize I did, or sounded snooty.
Oh look. A gimmick poster.

This WWE interview with Solomon Crowe...I'm cringing in spots. Most spots.
I used to be a 325-pound kid who was always picked on. My best friends were my computer and wrestling, Crowe said during an interview that he insisted be conducted via Skype. In fact, the term interview must be used loosely, as the conversation with Crowe vacillated between informative and ambiguous depending on the minute. Then again, would you expect anything different from a man who hails from Anonymous, Ohio?
His appearance is that of a classic nonconformist. Wearing labels like outcast and loner like a proverbial badge of honor, Crowes affinity for corruption is of the greatest concern. Its a trait he says said he learned during his childhood.
My family was all over the place, he explained. My father was a sergeant who served in Vietnam and my mother was a street-smart saleswoman, he said. My oldest brother was pretty much Captain America and works for the government, and my middle brother was an ex-con with the attitude of a pit bull, so I got the best of both worlds.
I understand how corrupt this world can be, he added. My mother and father passed away a few years back, and I dont really have that voice of reason anymore.
In true Solomon Crowe fashion, he emailed us a binary code and insisted that our effort to decode it would give us the answer to our question. Luckily for you, weve completed the decoding: Click here to see Solomon Crowes answer.

Lol. I hope that is just a weird perspective. Otherwise, the idea of Balor being a top guy while looking like an in shape 15 year old is hilarious. He's like...1/3rd the size of Sheamus. Reminds me of the Ambrose/Cena match after WM when there was a shot of their arms on the mat and Cena's arm was literally over double the size of Dean's.
He's just wearing an Ireland flag in Ireland. That's how you wear it at a sporting event.
Thanks
How long until he is wearing meme shirts, cutting promos about memes, and making weird 4chan references from 2007.
Next year he can debut on WWE against Cena by interrupting a promo of his with a rickroll.
Rousey and AJ beat him to it
No need to take my word as gospel. Just giving you my take.
I went through a similar thing where my beliefs and views on things were pretty ass backwards. I have a close friend who was very patient with me and explained why some of the things I thought were wrong. It changed my perspective on things, but I kind of got a bit of an ego about it and put some people off. I just try to remember that there was a time where I was pretty ignorant, and if I'm trying to change someone's mind on something, I should approach them in a way I would have wanted to have been approached when I was still an empty headed moron.
Shaemus is apparently trying to bring back platforms
At the risk of sounding like the Balor defense force, he seems like he's standing several feet behind Sheamus.

He's going to need a lot of luck and help. Especially since The E is on the other end of the spectrum of workplace politics that he is accustomed to...
It looks like a dad trying to teach his young son how to fly.

To be fair, you can do a lot of cool things with big size discrepancies, but I doubt they will.
"only 6'4"" What? That's a big dude. He's 6 inches taller than the average in Ireland and the US.
Bryan isn't close to 5'11". He's more like 5'6" or 5'7". I don't think Owens is 6 feet tall, either.
And he ain't wrong. Wrestling logic 101 is doing your best to hide size when someone isn't as big as they appear on TV. It's why BJW's Strong division works so well because the whole roster has guys of a similar height and so your only perspective is how big they appear. So they look like fucking godzilla and king kong. If you put Great Khali in there, you would IMMEDIATELY pick up that Sekimoto is 5'9" and never not notice it
Cena is 6'0.
I'm not saying Vince is right or wrong on it.
But I do think HHH is signing these famous indie guys and he knows there's no way in hell Vince will agree to feature any of them as legitimate main eventers for the most part.
Cena seems to be the exception, but that's probably cause he's a body builder so he has the body that Vince likes.
Zach, you might like this. A punk band called Guerilla Monsoon. The rest of you will hate this, but I thought they were ok.
Nah man, you gotta post things that only you like and then pretend you have refined tastes and then end with #tastemaker.

Shaemus at 6'4 sounds about right. Prolly really 6'2.
I bet Vince hates Owens because of his accent.
But Cena is stronger than ten Owens.
He is billing himself at 6'6"
Maybe that's why his boots are comically huge. He is really 5'11" barefoot.

Seth Rollins is 6' 1".
I think WWE is realizing that height and build doesn't matter as much as performance does with their newest recruitment strategy. Sure, they still go for the Baron Corbins of the world, but that's not all they're going after. In fact, it's more of a rarity these days in newer signees.
They're building the next generation based on in ring performance, not look or build.
