It's been so booooooring lately
|  |
 | SpeedRcr_X
Wrestlemania is coming up!
|
| Gol_D_Lux
What's the card like?
| |
| SpeedRcr_X
...I dunno I haven't watched WWE in ages
|
| Gol_D_Lux
:O
| |
| SpeedRcr_X
I just hate the direction Vince took it in, and then he left and I was gonna watch then he came back so I was like nope
|
| FireFly_9
So you don't watch WWE but you will watch Wrestlemania, which is peak WWE?
|  |
| SpeedRcr_X
I watch the |
| FireFly_9
...what kind of a name is that
| |
| SpeedRcr_X
Well because they roll it into other streaming subscriptions so you're not paying for the singular event anymore
|
| Rule34Rocks
Can someone please tell me why everything is a f[BLEEP]king subscription these days?
|  |
| Rule34Rocks
Like, EVERYTHING. If you want to download a piece of software they want to lock you into a monthly sub (HELLO ADOBE)
| |
 | Flame_Sniper
Because recurring revenue is where it's at.
|
| Gol_D_Lux
Going back to wrestling for a sec, here's a great article on Polygon about Vince and the WWE and how he controls it
| |
| FireFly_9
“ The wrestling industry today is a rabid animal disguised as a gentleman, standing on its hind legs and holding a champagne glass. ”
|
| SpeedRcr_X
Yeah well the thing is even with the s[BLEEP]tty conditions the performers are there because they want to be, and I watch it for them. This is their dream. Sadly it's like every other job, the pay is s[BLEEP]t unless you're in the elite ranks, and you gotta do what the boss tells you and the benefits are s[BLEEP]t.
| |
| FireFly_9
It doesn't mean it HAS to be that way
|
| SpeedRcr_X
There's other problems though - let's say ÆW wanted to give all its roster health insurance. Look at the stunts they do - who is going to insure them?
| |
| FireFly_9
All I'm hearing are excuses :P
|
| SpeedRcr_X
Well it's not like the Roman Coliseum where the Emperor forces you to fight. Wrestlers could just wrestle in their backyards or gyms
| |
| FireFly_9
Will you listen to yourself, Haruka-poppa? It's like saying "Oh, well the Starbucks Barista is free to go open up a Coffee stand on the side of the road if they don't like what the shop is doing."
|
| FireFly_9
It's attitudes like that that prevent any kind of meaningful change. There's no pressure being put on people like Vince.

NOBODY CAN BE TOLD WHAT THE METAVERSE IS, YOU MUST SEE IT FOR YOURSELF | |
| SpeedRcr_X
Crap. The Metaverse is crap.
|
| SpeedRcr_X
I can't get my Lawnmower Man on in there.
|
| Rule34Rocks
You do know the woman who had VR sex in Lawnmower Man died in the process, yeah?
| |
| SpeedRcr_X
I am more powerful and would survive
|
| Mdm_Maestro
Why do you need VR, dear, when I'm right here~?
|  |
 | setsy_meioh
The question answers itself
|
| Mdm_Maestro
EXCUSE ME?!
| |
| setsy_meioh
you heard me
|
| Reverend_H
Oh s[BLEEP]t yo
|  |
| SpeedRcr_X
Oh I would be totally VRing you Michi
|
| Mdm_Maestro
But I'm right here, what's the point of the VR
| |
| setsy_meioh
(because then she doesn't have to look at you)
|
| Mdm_Maestro
WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM
| |
| setsy_meioh
existence
|
| The Vampire Lyrica Hubert
and I thought *I* was dark.

Seramuun Urtora
December 4, 1998: Hotaru and Chibiusa were observing a bank robbery, when Sailor Lead Crow attacked using Renjii, determined to find the Light of Hope. As the Senshi stared in awe, Sailor Saturn appeared, trying to kill 'taru for no good reason. Mamoru got dressed like Santa Claus. When all hope seemed lost, the Senshi got a break through a sudden World Shaking attack. Sailor Moon used the Rainbow Moon Heartache attack to win.
