@tholzerman @wpwend Wouldn’t call Hero a “huge, huge star” either but he’s the only one mentioned ITT that I would well and truly be excited for. *Kinda* also Big Dave. The chaotic part of my brain wants it to be Brock or Punk or Cena just to watch the internet explode
@turnbuckle_tlk@fourplusthreee@CandidlyCandy_ “Good” and “cool” are not the same thing. Cool just means it’s a big deal in the culture as a whole, which it’s not really. Everybody knows John Cena, but non-fans don’t know who, like, Kenny Omega is, even though inside the wrestling fan bubble he’s a massive star
@eric_shorey The rumbles were great (esp. the women’s one, chef’s kiss), Roman/KO was exactly my kind of melodramatic bullshit, and thank fuck Goldberg didn’t win. Otherwise, not exceptional but very watchable (though that may have been because I was on a call with friends tbf)
Thus reinforcing a core tenet of capitalism: massive financial institutions can profit off the pain of normal people, but normal people can never profit off the pain of massive financial institutions.
