January 9, 20214 yr comment_5935659 "Ayn Rand rulz lol I listen to Rush I so intellectual..." Or something like that. Too bad Glen Jacobs never read the book on not being a fucking bore as a pro-wrestler for 25 years straight. Val Venis also had the same reputation of being "deep". Last I heard of him was when he made really transphobic tweets about Nyla Rose last year...
January 9, 20214 yr comment_5935662 Val made a turn from pothead libertarian to pothead MAGA transphobe so gradually most people didn't notice until the Nyla Rose stuff. Also most of Glenn's popularity with the boys seems to come from being a guy who was a "night off" when you worked with him.

Which is also fitting because whenever Kane appeared on my screen, it was a "night off" for me too as far as watching, as I pretty much always took that time to go to the bathroom and take a shit (I had the decency of not doing it in public in the middle of the ring).
January 9, 20214 yr comment_5935665 I mean if we're going to be fair a lot the issues with Kane came from him being booked in garbage like Katie Vick and electrocuting Shane's balls with jumper cables. As an actual wrestler he was a decent big man worker, and I was always impressed at how well he was able to convey emotion when he had the mask on. That's not a skill just anyone has.
January 9, 20214 yr comment_5935666 Kane was at best, a very mediocre worker. And most of the time, he was just plain bad and boring. Worst top rope clothesline ever, he was almost on his knees when he touched the opponent, usually with his fist or wrist. His execution was the shit. I still remember this hilarious godawful double big boot spot with then newcomer Big Show in 1999. When they threw in Kane in the middle of Taker & Austin (which was reaching overkill anyway), this is when the honeymoon ended to me, with all these awful, dull, boring matches. Easily one of my least favourite workers of all time. The only emotion he ever conveyed to me was looking constipated. With and without the mask.

And I loved Kane so much in 97-98 when I was like 15, it's sad how the more he talks the less I like him. I imagine him becoming mute again would make local politics in Knoxville quite interesting.

Hey, one of the folks who died storming the Capitol was a guy who had a heart attack after tasering himself in the balls. Talk about life imitating art.
January 10, 20214 yr comment_5935670 I've been probably too amused in the last few days reading about the most ridiculous clowns from the Capitol storming, including Tazernuts, "Via Getty" and (to keep this PWO) the dude with the animal pelt, tats, and facepaint looking straight out of mid 90s WWF

His older brothers Spa, Alpha and Dyno are especially brutal.
January 10, 20214 yr comment_5935679 It's just sleazy, slimy, scuzzy, "doesn't matter," "will never count" pro rasslin', so nothing will come of this, but wouldn't be it something if Linda's political aspirations is what ends up being the thing that finally bites WWE in the ass.
January 10, 20214 yr comment_5935680 Um, I went to high school with that guy. He took Ivanka to one of our dances. That is quite the worlds meeting bit of weirdness.

With Kane, Linda McMahon, Val Venis, animal pelt guy, or someone else? This is where the quote function of this board becomes especially useful.

Damn, they did this whole Retribution angle way too soon. It's now or never to have them march on the WWE Universe Center. Ya know, them damn antifas... And in all seriousness, yeah, it's now such an embarrassment to work for these people, because they are deep in with this stuff.

Other than I.R.S./Wallstreet there's not much I can think of more boring than the idea of a 15-minute Kane match.

Would this development be worth opening up that thread again?
January 10, 20214 yr comment_5935757 WWE has been staying away from mentioning Trump this whole time, can't imagine they would have him do a Mania appearance now that he's incited an insurrection.

January 13, 20214 yr comment_5935959 I wonder what happens when Vince dies, after the obligatory tribute to the great dead guy. Are the floodgates gonna open on all the bullshit that went on in this company for seemingly decades now ?
