Tony Khan has to be careful and not fall into the trap of simply signing a bunch of former WWE talent, paying them absurd amounts, and then automatically pushing them over the more homegrown AEW talent. As it stands, some of the big signings haven’t really moved the needle in terms of viewership numbers on any consiste…

Exactly this.

WWE is now squarely in the “content” curation business. With their entire catalog, as well as the library of film they’ve acquired from competitors over the years, any larger media company would gladly financially support (if not outright purchase) the WWE precisely because of the decades of content they…

As a gay man myself, one of the reasons I think for a disparity, should it exist, is the risk (or lackthereof) of having children.

When there’s an impossibility of having children due to sexual activity, without needing to engage is specific behaviors to prevent having children, I do believe you’d see a higher…

I don’t think it will have any appreciable effect.

People readily accept differing price points for the same items (or similar substitutes) in non-similar circumstances. People go out to dinner and pay $30 for an entree and $12 for a glass of wine when they could get the ingredients for the meal for $10, and the entire …

Then Greg is dumb as all shit because didn’t Ewan promise him a $250m if he walked away from Waystar? No management gig in a company under duress is gonna equal that money, and of course Ewan might’ve been lying just to use Greg to spite Logan, but given how everyone is using Greg in one way or another, why ask for…

You do realize that the Vegas shooter was located in a hotel room that was not at all adjoining the festival field where people were shot. One of the reasons why so many people were killed is because of the difficulty in locating the shooter, precisely because the shooter wasn’t in the crowd.

Your take is stupid. Not…

I don’t recall us seeing Greg sign the agreement, only that Tom, Shiv, and Logan claim that he did. At first I thought Tom might be lying, but the thing is that Shiv could easily discern whether he was telling the truth or not by simply asking Greg herself, and asking for the signed document in person. I wouldn’t be…

This.

He, in all quantitative and qualitative measures, is a worse receiver than someone like Mike Evans of the Bucs. Yet Mike Evans never gets called otherworldy, while OBJ gets this lofty title as though he’s Randy Moss or Terrell Owens.

The reality is that, at his best, OBJ would’ve been another Tim Brown, Steve…

Compulsory military service still means you go through basic training, regardless of what your particular speciality ends up being.

I have friends who have done nothing but logistics in their various branches of various national militaries (including the IDF), and they’re far more fit than the gym bunnies who have…

Exactly, and although I misspoke, since the Bass Reeves film is going to be a biopic, not a documentary, imagine the outrage if Amazon hired (or even considered and word got out) a black director to make a film based on the life of Qin Shi Huang, Liu Bei, or Cao Cao? As a black man, it’s bothersome because not only do…

It is rather weird that the friends/relatives of professional athletes think it’s okay to impart their opinions on the career and business dealings of multi-millionaires and billionaires, but would find it odd and wholly irresponsible if a friend/family member were to show up to their job and start needling their…

For comparison, Mike Evans of the Bucs was drafted the same year as OBJ, and has put up better numbers than OBJ in every way (their best seasons, touchdown wise, were with 13td, and Evans has had a higher single-season receiving total than OBJ). Further, Evans has reached 1,000 receiving in all of his first 7 seasons,…

Hot take incoming, but OBJ is not a generational talent.

He’s had 3 excellent years, one memorable catch, and a single playoff visit.

Mike Evans, receiver for the Bucs, was drafted in 2014, same year as OBJ. In his career, he has 60 more catches, around 1700 more receiving yards, 18 more receiving touchdowns, is the…

Arnold also possessed a look that made him really stand out from the action stars of decades prior.

Outside of former football players in Blacksploitation movies (like Jim Brown, Fred Williamson, Bernie Casey), and someone like a Steve Reeves (another former bodybuilder-turned-actor from the 1950s, but mostly popular…

Disney purchased Lucasfilm for a little over $4b. Half of that was cash, the other half buy issuing stock.

Disney had revenues of $42b in 2011, the year before the acquisition. They weren’t hurting for cash, especially with the annual revenues that the Star Wars IP brings in.

It wasn’t as though they did a leveraged…

In my cynicism towards the corporate world, I can only imagine one reason why they did it like this.

The executives (namely Kathleen Kennedy, the President of Lucasfilm) were too worried about another person becoming incredibly powerful due to their potential masterful handling of the IP. Disney (in particular…

She’d be brilliant in a spy-thriller where they’d actually use the fact she was in the IDF (compulsory, but that’s more that can be said for most other performers) to their advantage.

I’m also of the opinion that she makes a better potential villainess than she does a leading lady.

Maybe the joke is going over my head (in which case, my bad), but Guy Ritchie has made three decent movies after that: Aladdin and The Gentlemen, both in 2019, and Wrath of Man, which came out earlier this year.

That’s exactly my point.

In all 3 of his films, the relative power levels of the protagonists were significantly less than the opposition. Therefore, it made it easy to root for them, because the stakes were clear, and they were, for most of the movie, underdogs. It also made it much more realistic to invest narrative…

Looking at the Georgia code, both the defense and prosecution are granted 9 peremptory challenges for any felony, and 15 if the state is seeking the death penalty.
