Oh my god, I don't wanna.Maybe this is better suited for the tweetbag...but imagine a scenario where they make Braun a total white meat babyface— the mole man 🌹 (@KingMoleMan) September 5, 2017
But WWE will at least attempt at turning him into a white meat babyface, which in today's parlance means less 1996 Rocky Maivia and more pre-Summer of Punk John Cena, because Braun Strowman is, for lack of a better term, the guy. Vince McMahon has an idea of who his big star should be, no matter how he fits into the mold. The biggest example was Roman Reigns, who was rejected as his attempt at being "bootleg John Cena," and was consciously repackaged as basically "dude who gets crowd reactions for being an aloof dick." Strowman shouldn't need to go through that phase to show that his value with WWE is exactly what he is now, chaos god in the form of a mountainous man. But WWE will try to gloss him over. It'll sheen up his ring gear and make him clean up his facial hair and recite Vince McMahon-written lines on the level of "SUFFERIN SUCCOTASH" or whatever. It'll be worse than your fiercest nightmares. I'd rather not dwell on it, but just know that the Strowman that exists now is the one everyone should hope remains with tweaks to stay relevant for the rest of his career.
God, garnishes are the height of pretense. Don't put something on the plate unless it's meant to be eaten with the dish. Granted, most of the things that chefs put on a plate as a "garnish" nowadays are meant to be eaten. I watch a lot of Chopped, and contestants love to garnish shit all the time, but it's not that lonely piece of parsley that your shitty local mothball-smelling establishment that pretends it's fine dining as imagined in 1955 puts with EVERY Italian dish. So the term has evolved, but again, if you put something on the plate that doesn't fit with the dish, then you're a bad cook.is garnish some bullshit or what? i once ate a stem of dried parsley with some lasagna and it put me right off the whole thing.— 📺's Brent (@TVsBrent) September 6, 2017
The easiest guess is that it wasn't included in their coverage deal, or maybe it wasn't negotiated for this year? Wrestling is all about bodies of all shapes and sizes, even WWE and its body-guy/bikini-model fetish. ESPN would be foolish not to include wrestlers in the future. My guess is the opportunity just hasn't come up yet for the collaboration.Why do you think ESPN hasn’t used a WWE personality for its Body Issue? #TweetBag— Star of Savage (@StarOfSavage) September 6, 2017
The easy answer is the final. Team Sendai Girls vs. British Strong Style is a legitimate dream match, but at the same time, while the Sendai Girls are a complete team that just happens to have one of the five greatest wrestlers in space-time on it, sometimes, I get the feeling that British Strong Style is Pete Dunne and, well, uh. I don't want all the fine folks out there to get mad at me for saying it, but I can't about how little Tyler Bate and especially Trent Seven do for me. So the real answer is Johnny Kidd vs. Mike Quackenbush. What can I say, I love the World of Sport, and both Kidd and Quack are masters at it.Which match from KoT are you most looking forward to seeing?— Carrie Dunn (@carriesparkle) September 6, 2017
5 most overrated office supplies— KHill (@BigOrangeHill) September 6, 2017
- White-Out - Who even needs it anymore? That's why you write reports on the computer and proofread before printing it out anymore.
- College-ruled paper - Sure, you can fit more writing on the page, but it's not going to be as legible as the stuff written on the wide-ruled stuff. PASS.
- Letterhead stationary - You can design your own logos without spending extra money on the paper. Save some money and be more creative.
- Mechanical pencil - What it adds in convenience, it lacks in pure quality. Always go for the wooden pencil and sharpener.
- Binders - Mitt Romney ruined them in 2012. RUINED THEM.
The correct answer is Combat Zone Wrestling, and it's all on the choices it makes with personnel. Namely, DJ Hyde named an abuser, Sami Callihan, as head booker, and Callihan continues to book known Nazi-sympathizer at best and full-blown Nazi at worst SHLAK. It's a shame too, because CZW has some fun matches and great talent. And it's far from the only promotion who utilizes these known asswipes. For example, Game Changer Wrestling, the promotion that allowed Joey Janela to do his Spring Break, still books SHLAK. WrestleCircus, Lucha Underground, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, and other places book Callihan. Domestic abusers get bookings everywhere. Why is CZW so special to be singled out? I don't know. It's hard to be a wrestling fan, because the shit is everywhere. Maybe it's easier to single out CZW because it already has a scummy rep. I don't know. But that's my line in the sand.What's the one promotion you've been told you should get into the most that you just can't, or don't want to? #Tweetbag— Okori Wadsworth (@OkoriWadsworth) September 6, 2017
Would it be stereotypical to say Chikara has gotten really good in the last year? Of course, it wouldn't have had to have "gotten good" if it didn't sort of let a bunch of guys walk over the last few years, but hey, those Wrestle Factory rookies have gotten good quick. As for promotions that fell off, I honestly couldn't tell you. Most indies I follow are on a good path.Which indy promotion fell off or got really good in the past year? #TweetBag— ArchetypicalHighspot (@Michael_T1919) September 6, 2017
