So, MJF just confirmed what we pretty much all knew about Malakai Black. https://bsky.app/profile/allelitecentral.com/post/3mma733vpvy2r
I know JCW ain’t everyone’s cup of tea but The Outbreak, zombie brothers, are addicted to cocaine. Barnabus, who manages them, is having a meltdown over it. It has been very entertaining to me!
I don’t have the time to keep up with it but from what I’ve seen JCW is store brand Lucha Underground, but in a good way.
I’m not trying to brag (yes I am), but I’ve got my plans laid out for tomorrow afternoon…
Very nice.
How much did that RAM set you back? I’ve been thinking of upgrading the RAM in my rig, but prices have been insane. (Another reason to hate generative AI, like I didn’t have enough already)
The RAM alone was over $300. Knew I was gonna eat shit paying for it.
The mission was to not need to upgrade anything for at least 5 years.
Ugh. Yuck.
Looks like a Micro Center bundle deal, based on the Inland drives and sales associate stickers… I miss that store.
My first post from the new pc. I’m now indebted to my roommate/brother-from-another-mother for roughly the next 16 months, since he fronted me the money for all this and is going to let me make monthly repayments.
How’s it running? Any issues during the build?
It stopped detecting the GPU sometime last night. So right now it’s a just a really nice office pc.
The roommate and I are heading back to micro center (which is 90 minutes away) on Saturday to find out if it’s the GPU or the motherboard that fucked up.
We’ve already tried every software solution we (and Google) can think of.
Aw that’s a bummer!
Oh, might be moved up to Friday. Roommate won a Bidfta auction. Now we gotta go pick up a 16TB hard drive. lol
There’s always Stardew Valley on the integrated graphics lol
I just realized this week they’ve been putting the weekly AAA on Fox broadcasts up with English commentary on the WWE YouTube channel; low-key El Grande Americana vs. El Grande American Original may be the feud of the year.
It’s one of the best stories I’ve seen in a while, and it blows my mind that apparently it’s The Undertaker down there booking.
Any predictions for this year’s Owen?
I think the men’s final is Swerve vs Ospreay, with Ospreay going over. The women’s seems wide open to me, but I’d love to see Athena get the win; it’s long past time for her to become a fixture on AEW programming.
Yes! Ring of Athena needs to walk on its own for a while!
My heart wants the winners to be Brody King and Athena, although I wouldn’t be surprised if Ospreay wins to finish off his coming back from injury story. I’m not sure if it would be nice to have Windsor win it too so they could both celibate, or if that would be too predictable and kind of corny.
The winners of the first Owen were Britt Baker and Adam Cole, while they were still engaged. If anything, they wouldn’t do it because they kinda did it already. Corniness aside.
so they could both celibate
Far be it from me to judge how other people celebrate big wins!
lol, I didn’t think it looked right, but spell check said it was good to go.
I’m glad it did! That typo made my day lol
I realized a better response would have been:
Where is that spell checker? It’s trying to duck on me!
My body is ready!
I’m hoping for Bandido vs Brody, but I think it’ll be Swerve vs Brody with Swerve going to the finals
The other side of the men’s bracket I don’t have a clue. I kinda think Will, but I think that might be because I want Will vs Swerve!
I think we end up with Willow vs Persephone with Willow going to the finals. On the other side I think we get Mina vs Skye with Mina going onto the finals. I could see Mina winning it, but I can also see Willow getting a second win.
Alleged rapist Brock Lesnar been moved to WWE’s alumni section after getting to retire at Wrestlemania.
And… he’s back!
:(
Even Terry Funk could stayed retired longer than that.
What if it’s a work
AEW usually doesn’t do that kind of “work the dirtsheets” crap, and I think that’s to their benefit. I hope they aren’t starting now.
[Meta] I’ve removed Geek’s mod status for security reasons. He was kept on out of hope he would eventually come back. Now that we know…
It feels shitty to do, but it’s for the greater good.
And as far as I’m concerned, his profile pic will be our community banner forever.
I’m all for his profile pic staying up forever, but should we put something in the sidebar too? That way any new people would have an explanation as to why our banner seems to be random. Also, if it was put at the bottom he would still be close to the mod list.
I like this idea. Will do.
Damn, I didn’t expect it to make me tear up. I like it.
I am behind keeping the community banner his profile pic indefinitely
What did I miss some thing? Did he die?
EVIL’s WWE name is Naraku. It seems to translate to ‘Hell.’
It’s still speculation at this point so I’m not going to make a thread for it, but it seems like Asuka might be done with WWE.
Her and Iyo put on a hell of a match, if it’s the end, it was a hell of a way to go out.
If this is it, I’ll miss her, maybe she’ll return for select appearances going forward in various companies, she did do Freelancing at one time. She’s done everything WWE had to offer, she put her body through hell for some 20+ years wrestling, and is mid '40s now, if she’s ready to retire, who am I to complain?
Although, the timing is somewhat suspicious with the whole TKO pay cuts shit.
Any guesses for who Danhuasen’s partner will be for Backlash? I have no idea why I’m on this hype train, I’ve never spent mental power on wrestling surprises, whether it was what is in the egg, who a mystery opponent or partner will be, I’ve had thoughts b and wishes for royal rumble but never actually took any time.
At first I figured it would be R-Truth because comedy. All the while hopping it would be PCO because I thought they were good together in ROH. But I can’t see HHH bringing back someone who’s heyday in WWF was even before his own.
Could be CM Punk because he is friends with Pepsi man. He’s got that whole frenemey thing with Ethan Page form the indies and toy shows.
I thought maybe Joe Hendry because if he can’t find a partner he could just say his name and he would appear.
Just watched yesterday’s SmackDown and realized it’s not going to be R-Truth because he’s, at least Kayfabe, injured not to mention being tag team champs with Damian Priest. Then I saw Danhausen doing a science experiment to try to create a tag team partner and I went almost crazy thinking it actually might be PCO, only for my hope to be smashed when his machine died.
Then I think they’ll pull some real www shit and it will be someone dumb like Stacks.
I hope it’s Joe Hendry just for the meme!
