He is being deliberately dense here. It is an obvious security risk to be selling that kind of technology to our ops.

Why are people pretending the Cena classic is complicated? It’s stupid. It’s dumb. But it’s not complicated. They have some matches, someone wins someone loses and the fans vote for the winners of the Cena classic. It’s dumb. But it’s not complicated

[TheClimax97 @TheClimax97]

I’m no saint either & I’ll admit it. Creative people can sometimes have their pitfalls & I take full responsibility for the errors there in that part of my life.

[TheClimax97 @TheClimax97]

I’ll likely never discuss the full length of it but doing a large CAW fed had its toll on me & everyone involved. Perhaps my biggest regret in my entire life. I wish I had never done it but it’s very much like a mini microcosm of the wrestling business. I think everyone got some form of shell shock from that operation, including me.
It’s not worth getting involved in actual wrestling let alone the video game version of it (CAW leagues) because while people are certainly very creative, it can sometimes bring out the worst of us. Lots of mental games all around.

[TheClimax97 @TheClimax97]

The wrestling business chews people up & spits them out. A lot of those ruthless aggression era wrestlers that got kicked to the side who experienced what Chris & others were like backstage, all have a loose screw or two. The business is like the military. There’s a rank & file along with politics and a nasty underbelly.

[TheClimax97 @TheClimax97]

Eddie kept Chris on his own two feet. Chris lost his mind once he died. I think they had a strong love (not in a weird way) for one another. Eddie was a good man, but like any other person on this world he wasn’t perfect. Like his fellow colleagues (JBL & Undertaker), he enforced protocol & hazed people (Muhammad Hassan). That’s what happens when you become a respected locker room leader in the 00s SmackDown locker room. That being said, Eddie loved his family & was a good God fearing man. Chris would’ve never turned out right to begin with because he was raised in the wrestling business & God only knows what he went through. Chris was a ticking time bomb.

[TheClimax97 @TheClimax97]

Idk why everyone liked hating on Aaron Eckhart (idk if that’s how you spell his name). He was solid & way better than Tommy Lee Jones as Two Face. He’s like a blonde Tom Jane style of actor. His push never quite worked out but he wasn’t a bad actor.

[Anthony Cumia @AnthonyCumia]

The 3 Christian Bale, Christopher Nolan Batman films are the best of the entire franchise. With the exception of Maggie Gyllenhaal they’re great movies.

[TheClimax97 @TheClimax97]

If not for Chris O’Donnell taking the material seriously (even when he didn’t have to, he’s the glue that holds those two movies together) or the fun aspect of Schwarzenegger/Carrey’s performances, nobody would talk about the Schumacher Batman movies. Those three actors carried those flicks hard. Kudos to Nicole Kidman & Alicia Silverstone too, they did well with what they were given.
I understand why Keaton passed on Batman Forever, but damn it that movie would be top tier if he said yes to it.
The incompetence of the Schumacher era (tho the blame doesn’t go on Schumacher, it goes on WB) gave us the Nolan Batman films.

[TheClimax97 @TheClimax97]

Not to make any light of what was said, but they still paid guys like Lawler residuals for merchandise. Flair never publicly took responsibility over what he said to Teddy Long & they still paid him money for merch. Just an ugly situation all around. Really rough how Hulk’s life unraveled after the reality TV show between Nick paralyzing his friend, the reincarnation comment Hulk made, this, all the stories about him holding people down backstage, etc. He didn’t help matters either with the political stuff he did before his death. The biggest star in wrestling, marred by tons of personal controversy. Such a shame, at least he found faith in the end.

[FADE @FadeAwayMedia]

Triple H reveals he was the one who had to make the call to fire Hulk Hogan following the 2015 racial slur controversy & temporarily erase him from WWE.

“I didn’t fire Hulk Hogan, I fired Terry Bollea.”

[Jeff @Jeffsinfamous]

Vince had a similar setup. Now everyone knows he shit on someones head.

Btw, they always use sex crimes to ruin reputations because exposing business dealings would implicate themselves as accomplices.

They also do this because they bragged about it earlier this year.

If you put them all together, you have one A + wrestler. They’re all equal but in different ways. Roman has the look. Seth has the moves. Jon has the intensity.

[Ridwan @Ridwan_Mutairu_]

The Shield dominated WWE, but looking back at their legendary runs, one had to be at the bottom. Who is the most inferior SHIELD member, and why?

[TheClimax97 @TheClimax97]

I wonder how disorganized the actual WWE vaults are in-person for so much of these compilations to be out of order. I feel for whoever has to search for each tape at that video editing job.

[emil @TheEmilJay]

i have a feeling that their best of worldwide is drastically different than my best of worldwide 😅

[TheClimax97 @TheClimax97]

It doesn’t help that there is no American way now. Our country got sold out a long time ago & you can’t display patriotism in a film now due to how much it’s been tarnished by right wing/left wing administrations in recent memory. Can’t even paint conspiracy theorists in a good light anymore on film without either side calling it anti-American.

[TheClimax97 @TheClimax97]

I watched the Jimmy Stewart biopic the other day & I’m convinced those old school American archetypes are too pure for today’s United States. He was a man who fought for what was right on & off screen & cared greatly about his fellow serviceman. People on every side like the bad guy more. No matter what, any and all live action Superman movies fail because being a good guy is “corny” as many normies put it.

[TheClimax97 @TheClimax97]

Plus the world revolves around NYC if you spend enough time on this app. Superman is a very Midwest coded character. City dwellers in general snub their nose at the Midwest, especially Kansas.

Writing a character raised to be a good boy fighting for truth, justice and the American way cannot be done anymore.

[TheClimax97 @TheClimax97]

How we didn’t get more stacked 90s movies like this with performers who were in between A list & B list is beyond me. The early - mid 00s kinda created a vacuum.

[TheClimax97 @TheClimax97]

Toss in a Michael Jai White or Mario Van Peebles, have it take place in one of the cities & you would’ve had a gritty 90s action crime classic. Toss in Antonio Sabato Jr or Rick Schroeder for extra measure. Watching a lot of 90s films & seeing where a lot of those actors later ended up, man there was a lot of missed opportunities with the late 90s - mid 00s film wise.

[TheClimax97 @TheClimax97]

Seeing Ryan Phillippe on 9-1-1 Nashville got me thinking. This movie would’ve been amazing if it were made in the late 90s & had a better director. Such a shame we never got a Casper Van Dien-Chris O’Donnell joint. Those two would’ve had insane chemistry together in either the 90s or early 00s in a thriller.

[TheClimax97 @TheClimax97]

Or even Van Dien-Marsden in the same movie. Funny how O’Donnell has been in a movie/show with all of my favorites with the exception of Van Dien. Yet both have worked with the same co stars. Funny how there’s an inadvertent rotation there. They’ve all played first responders/law enforcement too.
