I'm not sure how I feel about you defending the very thing that put strobogo into his current predicament. WCW helped wreck him, and you're encouraging it. You sicken me.

Disco is one of the few moments of sanity Strobogo had in his viewings.
Disco was like the NICE prison guard who gave him extra corn. "Don't tell anyone this but I'll keep you sane."

If I had to guess which WrassleGaffers have done time, it'd be:
- Sunflower
- Bangai-o
- The Frankman
- Entropia

Yeah, I liked Disco. Chartbuster isn't as good as the Stunner, though. I mean, come on.
This one just popped up. Vocally it almost sounds like a BG parody. They have such good bass lines and interesting progressions. And great production. I'm surprised they haven't had a boost in popularity since dance music has pretty much dominated for the past 6 years or so. Most of it doesn't even sound dated. It could be released as new and people would think it was JT or something.
Well, except this. SO 70s.

That is actually what originally turned me on to the Bee Gees a few years ago.
To most people born after they were popular they are the silly band in jump suits with big hair and high voices that sang Stayin' Alive. Most mainstream pop listeners probably only want to listen to new songs and don't give a shit who influenced their favourite singer. Classic rock stations are probably programmed by people that though disco was for queers in the 70s too.
Phil Collins - Easy Lover was in the related videos. Thanks for this.

Good disco is good music. Just like good metal, good pop, good jazz, good any genre. Disco is a weird genre to write off since it is often times just funk with a steady beat. All the popular dance music in the past few years is usually straight up disco with more electronic sounds thrown in.

I've been listening to disco music since Strobogo brought it up nearly 2 hours ago.
I was so glad to see the Yakuza 1 and 2 news, I never got to play those but I loved 3 and 4. Would really love to play Kenzan too

You know what I realized?
This guy is the John Cena of the Office
...This means only one thing.
There is a John Cena in every single instance of any given group of people or things.

How the hell do these wrestlers not have health insurance? TNA is an abysmal organization.

Gotta save money for Hulk's contract, BROTHER.
Thanks, super helpful and exactly what I needed! I'm catching up now and besides the crazy fun evolution of Shinsuke, I'm shook at the beatings Honma is still taking. He's been a human piñata for all of my adult life.

Well, that didn't take long - Michael Hutter (Derrick Bateman) returns to AIW on June 30th at the Absolution VIII iPPV!
Seriously, I've been watching Honma get beaten up time and again since 1998 - the guy has paid his dues and then some, so it kinda warms my heart to see how well the New Japan crowd reacts to him these days and I hope he has a good run with the company this time around.

WWE doesn't either. It's all thanks to Vince and his "independent contractor" loophole.

But the difference is Vince personally covers anyone that has medical issues whether it happened on his watch or not.

I wish Low Ki hadn't burnt his bridges with NJPW (again), I really enjoyed his last run and that 3-way match was insane. Also, really enjoyed his matches with Devitt;

A few years ago though TNA was touting that they were providing health insurance for their wrestlers. I know it certainly wasn't around for Daphne when she had her injuries. I wonder if that was all a work, or if they ever had health coverage?
LiquidSolid
Member
Sure, but if they were in TNA's position, they wouldn't, and even now, there's no guarantee. If they don't want to do it, they can pull it at a whim. The "independent contractor" crap is an absolute joke and the sooner someone challenges it in court, the better.
I vaguely remember that as well. May've been strictly over in-ring injuries?
If you start watching NJPW, you'll see the full match (it took place at Wrestle Kingdom 7).
He'll overcome the odds and return for the next PPV, and find a way to no-sell something.

Zema Ion is 26, he'd be insured under his parents until his 27th birthday thanks to Obamacare, so either his parents don't have insurance or they just didn't know.
As to why wrestlers in general don't have health insurance, the reason is the same as why Truckasaurus or Evel Knievel can't get auto insurance. Once the insurance mandate starts next January, though, this kind of shittiness will go away. Well, maybe not for Kane because he will refuse to submit to communism, but for anyone else.

Wrestling is a mercenary business at heart.
If he's 26 now, he's not on his parent's insurance. Even if he had been in college, he would have been kicked of at 23 at the latest. He would have been off their coverage before the change went into effect and it isn't retroactive. And who's to say his parents even have health insurance? Mine haven't for close to a decade.

He can be. That part of Obamacare is already in effect. The first exception is if the parents are on a plan that doesn't provide dependent care. If a plan provides dependent care, it has to provide it until the 27th birthday. The only other exception is if the dependent's workplace offers insurance.
That went into effect back at the end of 2010.
