Just today on his podcast Edge talked about how the first person to call him and make sure he was okay after neck surgery in Pittsburgh in 2012 was Bruno Sammartino even though they’d only met a few times before.

You ever just really SEE the moment the wheels starting to turn in someone’s head? There’s a second where he seems to go on standby then clicks over from “postgame press” to “anime?!”

I feel like when you live under liberal democracy and the party in power in your country changes from time to time there’s a part of you that craves the relative stability of monarchy without really considering all the baggage that comes along with that. Combine that with the fact that modern (colonialist) America,…

Who cares?

But again, what is he going to do? Sit on the bench and refuse to play? I doubt it, and in the mean time they can lock him up until age 38. Given their history I think its unlikely that they’re looking to trade for his eventual replacement, so they’re going to draft some rookie eventually who will sit down and shut up…

I think if I were in the front office I would be worried about setting certain precedents, though. When does just sitting in the room and having some input turn into wanting real decision making power and maybe holding up contract negotiations until you get it? Hard to say, but its likely to happen with a guy who is…

Completely agree. What I’m trying to say, and I don’t think this is controversial, is that its HIM elevating the team and not the other way around. He can get anything out of anybody it seems, and that doesn’t necessarily give the best perspective on personnel or how to set the team up for a future without him. I just…

It has nothing to do with on-field play, that’s the point I’m clumsily trying to get across. He could be (maybe is) the greatest of all time between the lines and it wouldn’t necessarily mean he’s a good judge of personnel. Guys like him and Brady elevate the people they’re around, they don’t often work with guys who…

And I’m saying that being an outstanding player doesn’t necessarily make someone an outstanding GM. He understands offensive strategy, but just as a for instance, take a look at Nelson and Cobb. They only reason both of those guys are the threats they were is because people respect Rodgers. Without him they’re…

Yeah we have like a 4k deductible that we met pretty quickly (wife had gestational diabetes so she had a lot more appointments than most people) but even with the insurance picking up 95% of the final bill we ended up paying something like $3000 out of pocket for a natural birth with an epidural.

This is what I keep thinking. I live in Wisconsin, but I’m a Bears fan so I watch a lot of Packers games but with more of a dispassionate eye than other people (it helps that I never expect the Bears to win). The way the team tends to completely collapse without him doesn’t speak highly of his ability to manage the…

You’re not wrong, per se, but you are ignoring or at least oversimplifying all of the roadblocks that are thrown in between people in need and programs that can help them, whether that’s the sheer mental strain of pregnancy or, just as a for instance, the way that Medicaid is tossed around like a football every time a…

Dragon Ball looks cool as hell but I can’t imagine actually enjoying a game where you can just get beat from the jump by a single combo.

Well at the very least he seems to have a notion of when to trust in his staff rather than just holding every final decision for himself like Vince does. As far as 205, I think they need to get guys like Tyler Bate on there, get Noam Dar back, etc. and just get some more stakes going, whether thats through storyline…

Well, I mean, as much as I don’t want to like the guy, NXT shows that Hunter knows what kind of talent he has available and how to use them. The problem is that once they’re out of NXT they’re completely out of his hands. That’s why I worry about guys like Pete Dunne and Johnny Gargano, who are phenomenal but could…

It will, at first anyway. I’m deeply concerned about the future of the Revival tbh. All signs seem to point to screwing them until their contracts are up and they leave. Now that they’re on the main roster, Vince has control, not HHH, and there’s basically nothing about them that Vince would like, everything from the…

God I hope.

I loved it on Nicholas’s behalf, Im just not a fan of burying what’s left of the tag division as far as the storyline goes.

That’s probably fine. If you’re cool with it as an individual then fine. They don’t necessarily have to apologize if they don’t want to. But at the same time that’s gonna prejudice a certain slice of their audience, potential or real, against them. They can claim political incorrectness all they want, it won’t…

Well yeah, and so did injuries to the Revival (not to mention getting buried at Raw 25), etc. But the Bar was still left and as long as you have one competitive, strong-looking, over team you can build a division around that. Now they don’t even have that really. Though I expect Braun is going to have to give up the…
