I thought Rand Paul was the one who drafted the end of no knock warrants.


In the Senate to try to make it federal law

Do we think they can resist booking Reigns vs Uso as competitive? Im sure the two cousins want to have a fun match but the proper booking is a cold blooded murder right?

See, I always saw the core of Rusev Days popularity being an echo of the Daniel Bryan revolt

People liked Rusev more than his push and this was their way of letting WWE know

Steiner obviously agrees with Vince McMahons take on it, as he so often does

I just think it's only a few small but important tweaks to have Miro The Gamer also clearly be a dude who will punch you in the mouth, as well as a likeable charismatic guy.

But mostly I just reject the idea that Rusev Day was any better than Fandango and that people singing your little song really means anything for business


You dont accept the distinction that Rusev Day was organic and Fandangoing was astroturfed?

i'm saying that saying "generic foreign heel" plays into this idea that wrestling characters need to be this deep, nuanced layered thing. There's value in what you call 'generic' gimmicks, it's why they've worked for so long!


There does need to be in an era of overexposure though

If AEW wants to run 1980s-era angle-driven TV with squash matches and just the quarterly PPVs for main events then sign me up, but thats not happening

I also think there's something to be said about how a lot of foreign or people with foreign background feel about being made into generic foreign evil person. I recall multiple people who have played that role in the past, indies or WWE main roster alike, that they hated playing it because they felt it was offensive or that they felt it didn't do their background justice. It makes sense that Miro said he never wants to do it again.

And frankly Rusev seems like he was the last of those types that this could catch on in current day. There's a reason they're a rarity now. I think we've moved past it now, especially in the climate where people don't exactly want to boo a guy because he says America bad.


The funny thing to me is that WWE even made American patriotism heelish with guys like Angle and Swagger

They just hate all nationalism!

I hear you, but at the same time with enough effort you can swing back and regain badass credibility.

3MB Drew to current Drew being the relevant example right now.

I mean Drew also had to work the indies for many, many years after WWE before he could come back and try it again.


Exactly.

And even then theres a question to how well its REALLY working. Tough to gauge with no crowds

I really have a lot to say about this subject

Short answer, Rusev excels in both roles

Long answer, Steiner is right that Rusev as a beast is better for business, but Rock is right that being a beast in modern wrestling on a WWE/AEW schedule for a long time is almost impossible.

This is why territories were great. Once you used up all your badass credibility in one place, you could just go re-establish it elsewhere where no one but tape traders knew you. Theyre kind of trying this now with Finn in NXT.

Of course, we dont really have those anymore. You cant protect someone forever when they have to work 30+ nationally televised matches in a year.

And thats why I think Rusev is better served trying to branch out past being a badass. Most of the people watching AEW know who he is and have already been exposed to him losing his badassery over time. AEW trades on not insulting its audience, at least to their faces.

It works with people like Archer and Cage because they are new commodities to a lot of the AEW audience. Miro isnt.

If the game punishes you for being good by putting you in with other good players and you lose, wouldnt that lower you down back into games where youre competitive but just dont ALWAYS win?

Like, I get the complaint if it meant that you would forever be stuck in some high tier pond where you were one of the littlest fish, but I assume your in-game skill level it calculates would try to keep you in a group where everyone is of roughly equal skill and it fluctuates based on your performance

I feel like these people think that the best way to get better at something is to be shamed into oblivion. Like you start a martial arts class and youre not taught anything but you have to beat black belts to advance.

Adding to the Ben Carter thing: he wrestled Cage at Warrior Wrestling, and then there was a meet n greet that also included Luchasaurus and Tay Conti. So it's looking like the issue may have stemmed from them doing indy dates where people aren't getting tested and they aren't staying out of contact with fans.

I'm feeling like AEW might tell talent they can't do indy dates until this is under control at this point.


Its really, really dumb that they werent doing that already

I think your problem is that you go into every scenario with thinking people are TRYING to kill other people. It's a flaw I see in your logic surrounding almost every situation.


Similarly, the flaw in your logic is thinking that if we just make laws to hold police accountable, that the justice system will actually uphold them.

I dont mean to play oppression Olympics, but as someone who is high-functioning autistic and who has been around people who are much lower functioning, they (or their parents if theyre extremely low-functioning) have to have the same talk black families do.

This may also explain why Caesar and Augustus were able to replace the Republic with the Empire. Only a tiny fraction of people who lived in the vast territory of the Roman Republic had a significant political voice to begin with, so many people did not feel they were losing representation which they never had.

And you're absolutely wrong here. SC justice appointments routinely take on average 50+ days from nomination to vote, and never in the history of the United States of America has a nomination been been made this close to the election.


On average

Im not saying to speed up the process. Its their job to proceed as they normally would. If they cant get it done before the end of the year then too bad for them.

If the idea is that they shouldnt do their jobs because its too close to an election then why are they even still in office? When you elect someone, you elect them for their full term. Thats part of the deal.

Every girl at like age 13 should have birth control provided by the state and not removed unless medical reasoning or signing a waiver that they acknowledge doing so means they are accepting responsibility for any birth that doesn't fall within 3 exceptions which would make it allowable.

The people would revolt because it's my body I shouldn't have to have birth control. Government control. Etc. But, let's be honest, that's a better solution than aborting.

If we're talking about their job, technically the Republicans did the right thing in 2016. They were elected to oppose the Obama administration, and they had a clear majority in the Senate. It's not fair to expect them to appoint a Supreme Court justice their voters wouldn't want.
