PW NEWS EPISODE 28

(18:57)

LEGACY IS A MYSTERY: Looks like we almost hit that 20:00 time limit. I'm trying not to go over that as far as rambling, but that was more of a Baker issue. Let me know if the length is becoming a deterrent to anyone else. Anyways speaking of him, didn't see too much of an appearance today. Did he already leave? In any event no real update due to that. We have to stew over Regal and what he did for the business. I guess train Daniel Bryan whereas HBK just stole his cash, but Shawn used to get all the credit for his "Academy". LOL, I wanted to go myself.

POLITICAL DISCOURSE RUNNING WILD: All three corners of PW around the world have their own thread for political talk. THERE ARE NO UK MEMBERS ON PW THEY ARE ALL FROM DOWN UNDER! Canada has a new law that allows you to claim you were drunk to basically murder your family. Funnel your life savings into beer stocks as that should be a hit. Dunno what's going on in down under, but I assume Kangaroo insurance. Dammit I should've drafted one. Animal Battles should be taking place shortly too. Vote with your heart.

UT IS OUTTA IDEAS: Best Centers updates like clockwork, but I'm pretty sure it's a Create-A-Wrestler because I've never heard of them. Even their name just screams made up like a Game of Thrones person. And the forum is buying into it LOLZ. Fast and Furious (the og or F&F1 if you're an idiot) makes the next entry in the list. Evidently I'm the only one who submits my list based on pointage and not true feelings. Ehhh. Also a brief discussion on how certain character deaths can derail a series, though I did not spoil it. But if you don't know lots of people die in Oz that's on you.

BIG PETE IS A BIG BOY: Vidya has it's monthly update on games being released. Did we have one for May or did Corona-Chan say not on my watch? Last of Us comes out with lots of controversy regarding the story. I miss Naughty Dog making platforms so fuck me. I did like Uncharted though. Chloe is waifu material. Anyways that's all I got.

:lol:  I had no idea I was such a PW draw.

It's not at all rare for me to drop zero posts before 7 pm my time. I do have a life outside of PW! Not much of one, mind you. But I occasionally have other things to do. And I was tired last night so I went to sleep early for once.

Most fans and (especially) wrestlers love Regal. I don't necessarily get it. But I am definitely in the minority. Off the top of my head, I can't recall a single wrestler ever bashing Regal. Austin in particular is always gushing over the guy.

The next entry is another one (like Regal!) who was on my list. Yet the popularity of this wrestler never ceases to amaze me. Put it this way. I never would have expected this guy to finish #18. Even if he had finished #36 (where I had him) it would have seemed a little high to me.

I may or may not be in System's Animal Draft. He tagged me earlier today but I just replied a few minutes ago. 

Man, Ness talking about Bull Sharks takes me back to reading all those shark books in my childhood. They were particularly dangerous in the Zambezi River. Thank you, shark book I read when I was like 8 years old.

Well, Kobe Bryant passes the Ness Test. 

I am skeptical of any cereal that doesn't have a cartoon mascot. 

I can assure you Hakeem Olajuwon is a real person and not just another figment of my imagination. Oh, he also went by Akeem. True story. He earned the 'H' about halfway through his career.

Exosquad is real! 

@ness has a good voice for this. Good flow as well. No mumbling or awkward pauses. Do you write this stuff out ahead of time or just wing it?

More truth bombs: I got annoyed doing the 2000-2009 countdown when I realized True Grit came out in 2010 and just never went back to it  :lol:

I watched the original F&F one time like a year after it came out. It was a perfectly cromulent action flick. But I never had any desire to rewatch it or check out the sequels. 

Favorite Wrestler Countdown will be updated tonight.

Dammit. For a split second I thought we were getting a return of Boats & Hoes. Ness is such a tease....

Baker

Instead of trying to work the multi-quote magic I'm just gonna do an easy tag.

Regarding the "don't go love" of being a draw, I'd probably be getting so off on it. I want to be missed. Most people are just like Ness, we WISH you would go away for a while. We need space.

#18 I'm guessing Christian, unless he was already featured and I'm just a hard-R who wasn't paying attention. Fuck it, ima cheat. Find on page didn't give me results for post 1, but that's never full-proof... still going with him. Seems like a guy you could easily lump as overrated but people loved him.

Yeah, pre-internet I was majorly obsessed with sharks and dinosaurs. In fact, when we did an animal powerpoint presentation in my English class I picked sharks. Also am of the theory that them attacking surfers is not mistaken identity so much as they just like to fuck with people. YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE SIR!

Let's break kayfabe! When I'm browsing PW throughout the day I might make a mental note of a joke I may reference (and if I forget in recording I may include it in the write-up) but mostly my news is a notepad document with bullet points. For instance all it said for History was (Baker gone/HBK stole DBs wallet). Basically before I want to record I look at each section and see what was being discussed in the past 24.

Multi-quoting? Only Strobe has time for that nonsense. I don't know how he does it.

lol I am getting off on it. Not gonna lie. Yet I'm also tired of answering questions. No offense to all you lovely, caring people!

Pfft. You can't go. PW News is a highlight of my day.

*spoiler alert* Christian it is. Again, I LIKE Christian. He made my list! But #18?!? Above HHH! Plus at least 20 other guys and gals I'd expect to finish above Edge's Jannetty, Christian's Michaels included in that group.

As a young child, before I got into wrestling, sports, and "the weird," my life revolved around dinosaurs, animals (with sharks being a major draw), space, and obviously cartoons. 

One day I should do a Lionheart-style one-man countdown of which PW posters draw the most 🤯 dimes.

Just to fact check @ness, here:
1. Nobody in Australia drinks Fosters
2. We call them prawns not shrimp
3. The Canada politics thread should be called "The apartment above the meth lab"

I am baffled by Christian's IWC popularity in the same way as many are baffled by Regal's popularity.

Listening...

Sandra + Egypt!

Hey, not so subtle shot with the dog dooosh shot bro.

Maxing out that BBC, lol

Holy shit, just realized why I like so much. Favorite cereal growing up was Life. And I ate a shit ton of it. Needless to say, this Mikey liked it.

Oz kicked off the copious amounts of prison penis on TV genre.

@ness, fret not, you're mistaken... There oddly enough WERE fifteen years between 2000 and 2009. Also, only comedies are polarizing on PW.

Zoned out there for a second because of how much I'm dreading work. Just remember... It'll be OK, it'll be OK. I can get back to PW some day down the road.

Congrats on a full month of this garbage, @ness! Honestly quite the achievement.

Cockteasing us with Boats N Hoes, eh? Ya cocktease, you.

Suck it, PW!

There was a May edition of VGM and it was surprisingly packed with Shantae being the big headliner for PW. Personally I was far more wooed by the release of Phantasy Star Online 2 which finally made it's way to the west after being released 8 years earlier. It was joined by another MMO-like Xenoblade Chronicles, which received a limited release in the west in 2012 and a 3DS port in 2015 but finally got an HD port this year.
