HFWF OT XIV - BonMorrison vs. Paris in Flames with special enforcer GKJ

[Virtanen18]

Bose QC35 are terrific. Can confirm. Will be good when it gets too loud in summer. Won't have to make any noise complaints on my neighbours

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

I am looking at couches, I do not need to spend money on a new couch. I also now have a spreadsheet on the different type of couch, cost, perceived comfort level, size, etc.

I've gone too far.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Officially gonna save money to buy a Tesla when I’m done with the car I have now.

My mom complains about gas prices and the carbon tax so much that when I have an electric I can just tell her I don’t feel that pain.

This shit is right up my alley. Spreadsheet for any semi-pricy purchase I make.

I need to label it "DO NOT BUY A NEW COUCH YOU STUPID IDIOT"

 

[Paris in Flames]

Bell is the actual worst. I upgraded my phone last Friday. Did it online...should arrive in 5-7 business days. Whatever. That's fine.

The problem is ever since they've called me 3 times a day (minimum) because I've been a customer for so long they want to know if I'm happy with my service, etc etc.

Be a lot more happy if y'all didn't harass me.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Can confirm: I can take @UnrealMachine to suplex city but he could run circles around me.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Did someone in here mention the St. Louis bagel? I just saw that. What a disgrace. Between this and St Louis pizza they are going to be blacklisted by me.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Anyone else watching the Omega thing on TSN? Pretty freaking good.

Not yet. I'm recording it though. Should get a chance to watch it when the girl sleeps in on the weekend

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Ok these St. Louis style memes are actually cracking me up

 

[Disclose]

You’re the only person talking about it and I still don’t know what’s going on.

Apparently social media got upset because some horrible person brought in St. Louis style bagels into work and shared it on Twitter. The bagels were cut up like loaves of bread

Thus a meme was born.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

I've lived in St. Louis my entire life. Never once have I come across that or seen it (and trust me if there's one thing that St. Louisians love more than asking where you went to high school, it's claiming foods that we "invented")

The memes were pretty solid though.

Just started the Omega doc. Imagine in 2005 even thinking Kenny Omega had no personality. Jeez. Glad he left.

That was when they were so obsessed with size that he would have never gotten a look to begin with.

AJ Styles started out in WWE as well, didn't he? Another guy Vince basically told to take a flying leap, so he went and made an impact (pun intended) elsewhere until Vince was begging to bring him back.

WWE cutting Styles was beneficial to both parties, unlike Kenny where it was beneficial for Kenny because he has no interest in ever going back to WWE.

Styles ceiling when he was in WWE first was definitely just a cruiserweight and Velocity. He would have never been given time to improve his mic work if WWE kept him in the early 2000s.

Right, which just shows Vince's lack of foresight, and how he can be a terrible judge of character.

If you honestly believe AJ Styles becomes a quarter of what he has become if he stayed in WWE in the early 2000s I have no idea what to tell you other than you’re wrong.

Styles needed TNA and NJPW to become more than a good wrestler and have an actual personality, reputation and good mic skills.

That’s not on Vince at all. That’s just the way things work out sometimes.

I'd say it is.

There's no magic wrestler elixir at TNA or NJPW that makes a wrestler into a star......it was up to AJ to harness that potential that he had and make a name for himself, wherever he gets the opportunity. Because of Vince's impatience, AJ went and did that elsewhere instead of with WWE.

If AJ was given the same push, and same opportunities from Vince/Creative that they gave to other wrestlers who couldn't hack it and fizzled out, he could've been the next Shawn Michaels, or [insert other WWE legend here].

If you think WWE, at a time where John Cena, Randy Orton, Brock Lesnar and Dave Batista were in their developmental system, when HBK just came back, and the roster was filled with the likes of prime aged Jericho, Christian, Angle, Benoit, Guerrero, RVD, etc., was going to give Styles any chance that wasn’t in the cruiserweight division you’re losing it.

The “magic elixir” in TNA was giving Styles the platform to have classics on a regular basis and be one of their top guys, something that wasn’t going to happen in WWE. His reputation he paved in TNA carried over to his run in the Bullet Club.

2000s AJ Styles was not going to be anything in WWE and that’s a fact. His personality and mic work wasn’t there, and the talent pool in WWE was way too strong for WWE to waste any time on a 5’8” 180 pound good hand.

If it was a numbers game, that's different. Vince is fortunate he was able to bring AJ back, later on, after he'd already become a superstar.

 

[BonMorrison]

Why do I see so many wrestler names in this thread?

I did my taxes today and my return sucks but also it's at least a return so I shouldn't complain.

 

[Kimi]

A correction: Styles was never signed to WWF.

He signed with WCW right before they died, showing up on TV a few times, but wasn't picked up by WWF. He had a couple of tryouts/dark matches and they offered him a developmental contract, but he turned it down. His wife was starting or was still in university, so he didn't want to move away to where ever the WWF's developmental territory was.
