I think the thing about AEW I find most interesting is this appears to be a “run by the wrestler” organization. There certainly is an appeal to that (obviously wrestlers understand each others frustrations), but really to me it comes down to the writing. Can AEW write a storyline which makes sense?  Can AEW do this…

JEEZUS is so embedded into my lexicon that at one point I had it set to be a ringtone on my phone for when people texted me (this drew some weird looks at work).

Welcome!

...the true tragedy here is that people will laugh at the Giants.

...he knows “for a fact” that two other teams were planning on taking Jones before the Giants would have had a chance to get him with the 17th pick.

On the positive side, Hockenson gets to flounder in your system for four years before the Texans pick him up and make him an perennial pro-bowler, so at least you have that going for you.

Thanks for the stares after I audibly laughed at loud at “Eddie Vedder”.  Good to let my employer know that between this and the NFL Draft I’m utterly distracted..

Right, the only thing NXT has going for it is that it’s taped (and if I remember correctly recorded all at once) which would give the writers more times to flush things out and make them make sense.  Like you, I’m not clear why they can’t have three major feuds and somewhere between two-five minor feuds going on both…

Understood, but with two entirely different talent pools (sans champions who will cross over shows) I don’t understand why they have a trouble maintaining continuity (the Women’s division goes from “look eye candy” to “women as wrestlers” to “look eye candy” to “give Diva’s a chance”).

The thing that is so puzzling (I mean it isn’t if you look at the very top of the company’s hierarchy) is how the top wrestling company can do such a horrible job of storytelling on the main roster and then have its development system run laps around it consistently. I think the only thing that masks this is that…

Not only that, but there is a strong chance the winner of Pope/Deicide gets to play Alpha Omega in the Elite 8.  This needs to happen.

Most of the time I have no aversion to the graphic injury videos,...

It’s absolutely possible, my budget and liabilities are well under control and I’m one of “those” millennials with zero desire for children and next to zero desire to get married. A house really doesn’t make financial sense for me either (market/labor conditions in my area + valuing mobility for my interests in life,…

Can’t wait till you trade him to the White Sox for peanuts since that’s basically what we expect from our middle relievers at this point.

+1 Future lawsuit

Outhouse is just being setup for an upset in the round of 32 or Sweet 16.

My favorite part is when the apparently more hardcore of the two, Dark Shirt, straight up threatens to murder the security guard if he doesn’t hand back her scooter—and then the very next shot is of her popping a fuckin’ ollie as she rides away on that scooter.

I feel like we need an app (or a Google Doc) for this where anyone with a Kinja handle can enter their picks. Even a “Beat the experts” section where we can highlight the incredibly terrible takes made by the staff and see who gets the most points.

Yeah, I had a guy like that too. From about 12 p.m. to 3 a.m. he was playing WoW stopping for dinner and stopping for a few other things like food and socialization (but not class). The most poignant moment I have is him randomly asking me how to say some colors in Spanish. Well, that was one the classes he bombed in…

I think what’s crazy about is that often times you can see people who aren’t the best on the microphone excel on their own via their social media which they’re given leeway over. As bad as Ronda’s interviews have been, it’s impressive to me that in all facets, her social media has been even worse.
