When/why did the internet pick up and start using "actively" constantly? I want to say 2011, but I can't figure out why. In the vast, vast majority of sentences it is used in, it is completely superfluous.
Examples
I have avoided watching TNA because it sucks.

Actively is completely unnecessary.

Looks like Sheamus' disapproving dad there.

Is she holding the Holy Grail? Triple H truly is the King of Kings.

I'm so glad I never watched ginger Taker.
I appreciate him bringing up climate change, very topical of him.

Randomly watching Great American Bash 2006 cause I wanted to see some King Booker, and discovered some diva named Kristal Marshall. Why did she have to leave??
Yeah she was fire, she married Bobby Lashley and I am now reminded of the Teddy Long wedding heart attack, lol.
And she is seated at HHHis rigHHHt HHHand. Going to be a good year for her.
The Internet is always on the lookout for new hyperbole. Seriously, they go through several synonyms for "very" every year. Epic, awesome, literally (still pissed they ruined this word), god tier, master level, uber. On the Internet, no concept stands alone, it needs meaningless qualifiers to enhance whatever experience the writer's conveying.
EDIT: Why would you selfie while driving?
Blame shitty divas booking

I think I just watched the shittiest quality YouTube video on part 3 of the wedding. They had the comedian Bruce Bruce as the officiant?? Haha. Segment was actually entertaining up until the heart attack part. That's how they ended a show? Godfather and JBL are the greatest.

Have you ever seen the show "Married With Children?"
Back from Global Wars. Overall, a pretty fun show to attend live, but there were some personal pluses and minuses.
-Arrived about an hour before belltime, and all of the limited edition NJPW shirts were sold out. Sigh.
-Paid 160 to get pics w everyone, but a few people were monopolizing convo with wrestlers, so I couldn't get through the whole line. Missed out on pics w Tanahashi and Okada
-Got to take a pic with AJ with the IWGP belt on my shoulder
-Alex Koslov likes to joke around
-Alex Shelley is super nice in person. Talked about the Back to the Future entrance and he said Kushida almost wrecked the engine of the car bc it was manual
-Merch dude tried being a dick about giving me a small refund bc I didn't get pics w everyone as promised
-The ring looked teeeerrible. Trampoline-like
-Liger got a huge pop
-The three-way New Japan tag was a total blast
-The main event was really good, but the no selling high impact moves and kickouts felt a bit much...but in line with ROH's style
-Tanahashi was a victim of coming out after Liger. People were already hyped about Nakamura and Liger, so they had no energy for Hiroshi. His music started up as we were still hyped for Liger.
-Young Bucks are over, bros
-Felt bad for the lack of reaction to Roddy/Cedric. Was a good contest, but the mood for it was kind of weird...people WANT to cheer for The Decade but know they aren't supposed to
-WTF NO DECADE SHIRTS
-RD Evans was a perfect guy to showcase after the intermission. We all loved him. Funny considering how everyone haaaated him at the show I was at two years ago. Dat versatility?
How did everything come across on the stream?

Pretty sure those shirts are from Married With Children. The rest I have no idea about!
Oh I didn't even see Beef's post. Sorry Beef! I'm blind apparently

RD Evans was a nice surprise after the break. Made me nostalgic for our month of Marchie Archie avatars on WrassleGAF.
The main event felt a little flat to me due in large part to the cute repeated spots on all 4 sides of the ring. Felt like Steen was more interested in showboating than winning the title.
I could have done without the Liger novelty act as well.
Still glad I got to see the NJPW guys in person. The 3-way tag was easily the highlight of the evening - spotfest or not. Next week's card should be better. The Hammerstein always brings out a great crowd.

I can say sitting in the gen admission area was shit like insultingly bad
Hard to see the ring because all the boards were up and hard to see past the poles
Anything outside the ring was a wash too with no video screen
No NJPW t-shirts was weak as shiiiiiiit.

That match was soooo much fun. Every single team was over with the crowd. The Time Splitters are quickly becoming my favourite tag team in the world today, especially since they were both incredibly nice and gave me free signed pics to go with the pic I got with 'em.
That, RD Evans, Liger, and the Steen/Cole match are probably what I'll remember when I think back to this show.
I thought the Elgin match was also quite good. A strong move-for-move affair.
Yeah, it's surprising that they brought virtually zeeeeero merch outside of the aforementioned t-shirts, which sold out mega fast. Wonder what time they let people in.

really? no NJPW shirts besides the limited edition ones?

The site said three designs, but there was only one style left by the time I got there. A kind of cheesy one with the American flag behind the New Japan logo. Will likely do well in New York.
But yeah, no wrestler specific merch. Maybe in New York?

damn was hoping to find someone to get me a shirt or two at the new york show.

Ah. Yeah, I hope there is more NJPW merch then at NYC. Sucks that things turned out like that. Glad you had fun though!
This pose down is something else. Hogan, Cena, Bateaster. Bateaster looks like a star and is generally hanging back and letting Hogan do his thing unless they're all posing. Cena looks like a fucking kid and is right up Hogan's ass on everything, trying to steal his thunder. Just being a cheesedick hot dogger trying to steal the spotlight.
Here is Bateaster "pretending" to get blown up from posing:

My younger brother (Not Terabyte) is doing it right now and he's loving it! I've done a couple exercises here and there and intended to start the program over the summer once we get back from vacation. It's crazy how much of your body feels activated during it.
No, that show ended shortly before I turned five. My only connection to it is knowing the theme and that one Futurama episode.
Which theme, Sinatra or the blasphemy?
