Welcome. Whereabouts?
Huh, didn't know that actually existed in readable form.
Also didn't know that wrestlers were prohibited from drinking:
6. USE OF ALCOHOL

Accordingly, WWE Talent are prohibited from using or consuming alcohol at any time within a twelve hour period prior to any WWE event or WWE scheduled performance.

THEY SAY LIFE IMITATES ART
They must have done this on purpose as a callback.

Tinker AFB in OKC (or Midwest City, not too sure)
It would be believable if it was Sin Cara.Poor Kalisto
No, if it was Sin Cara, Corbin would be laid out on the floor with his teeth knocked out.
If it was old Sin Cara, Corbin would have been shot.

Haha, what is wrong with you?
She just started showing up on FL house shows again after disappearing for a couple months. So still employed, but not TV ready.

OKC sucks, Zach. As a fellow Tulsa dweller, you'll agree. Tulsa reigns supreme.
Glorious.

Baron Corbin is the worst.

I see. Thanks for the clarification. Weird, I always thought that she was TV ready and never imagined the runners up to start.
They've definitely come a long way, hope they keep getting better.

I didn't even watch Smackdown last night.
What did I miss? Was it hot garbage?

Better than RAW was this week.
Man God better watch it.
Just got my chance to watch the Women's Evolution special. Maybe I shouldn't have watched it during my lunchbreak because I definitely got emotional about it. They did a good job of not shying away from how awful the Attitude Era was for women without wallowing in it too much. Coulda given Jackie more props when talking about the women who were trying to really wrestle before Lita and Trish temporarily disrupted the bra and panties matches, though.
They did talk about how the Diva Search girls were really set up to fail as wrestlers because they were all learning on the spot, but they didn't talk about the Bellas transitioning from being the worst to actually learning some moves.
They tried to give all the women in the Wrestlemania 10-woman match some love, showing some of their moves while having other women praise them. The best praise Eva Marie got was Lana's envy over the shower of boos she gets.
They did a great job covering the transition from the Divas belt to the Women's title. Lots of nice backstage scenes before and after the triple threat too. Snoop Dogg bragging about taking Sasha to her first live event. Charlotte's excited "I did a stunner!" pantomime to Stone Cold when she spotted him. Becky blowing off concerns about her 7 stitches and weeping because it was the match she only dreamed she might one day get. Sasha and Bayley trying to wrap their minds over the hugeness of the arena.
Very well produced, loved some of the music selection, loved that they continue to pair the story of the women's revolution in wrestling with the rising influence of women in the world today.
I started watching wrestling in 97, and I wanted to love the women, and it was so hard with what they were given and King's verbal assault anytime a woman was anywhere near a camera. It really makes me feel good to see what the women get to do these days, and I count myself as a fan of most of them.

This WWE comparing Malala, Obama and other ground breaking women to not making their women strip off is pretty fucking cringey.

Sorry, the start of the Women's Evolution Doc.
You're Microsoft? That's rough dude, I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
Seriously though dude, bummer. Caught up on NXT and the CWC?
Then sign up to NJPW World and watch the G1

The becky bit definitely got me a little emotional, it's amazing seeing someone's dreams coming true, she was so happy.

PATRON WAS FRAMED!
They better watch out, I heard he has ties with the cartel.

So incredibly wrong. He's literally the only redeeming part of BvS. He's both a solid Batman and Bruce.

could never
Thanks guys appreciate it, like I said not posting here as much but I'm always reading and using an odd gif here and there will dig around, actually haven't seen NXT since errr I think just before Aries' debut. Will fgt back into that mainly for Joe as I love his work, need me some Japanese shit too.
CWC highlights on YT look dope.

I'm sorry to hear that. My lady friend's dad has MS. It gets her down from time to time. I wish you nothing but the best.
You may find these events worth a watch:
I agree. I haven't seen the whole movie but I watched the actual Batman v Superman fight on youtube and I thought Affleck's Batman (and really, not just him, but the whole creative direction behind that) was really cool. He comes off as a complete asshole just barely fighting for the good guys and has no empathy whatsoever. A cool version of Batman.
Batman's pretty much the only superhero I tolerate though so I wouldn't like Superman or whoever else anyway.

Also I hear good things about Wrestlemania 2000.
I didn't take it as a comparison. I took it as "Women are working hard around the world to change their status and their place in society and we've started to follow their path too."
Edit: Disappointed to hear about Del Rio. I always liked the guy, and with my daughter becoming such a big fan after watching the 40-man royal rumble so many times, I had grown to really looking forward to seeing him.
Which is different than his last WWE run now? The dude has been a giant void of wasted time since he first signed a WWE contract.
The only thing I don't like about Batfleck in BvS is that he's
apparently not against killing. In the final third of the movie he probably puts up the highest body count of any live-action Batman, maybe except Keaton

yass, Nixon's great.
The thing that keeps me here is that this is where my friends are. But then I think, I never hear from them unless a favor or a ride is needed, so I'm not sure why I think that's something I actually need in my life, but I can't seem to just let it go. When I was there before, I was super lonely and that kinda sucked hard. But I guess I could go make friends with the daughters of tourists or something.
Ah man, I know nothing about what MS does, but I know it's a serious deal. Hang in there and I hope whatever kind of treatment or physical therapy there is for this, helps.
Try and watch weekly WWF Superstars from about 1988-on. So good.
