What are your thoughts about "Main Event" Jey Uso? I'm sold on the guy and wouldn't be mad if he were the one to dethrone Roman... but I don't think it's super likely.

 

"The Rick" has been battling cancer for a while now and apparently passed away a few days ago. I remember reading the original version of Online Onslaught on WrestleLine when I was in high school to keep up with the dirt sheets.

Here's one of those old columns, courtesy archive.org.

Thanks for the reply! I and my wife are two of those thousands who were helped by that subreddit over the years. I would love to help build a similar space here for those of us who have left Reddit completely behind. My intention was not to stage a coup or hostile takeover -- I just wanted to see it turn into an active and positive community.

 

What in the 2K Universe mode is this?

 

The Bastard PAC is back, and he will be on the side of the Blackpool Combat Club and Don Callis to get revenge on Kenny Omega for breaking his nose.

And The Elite will reunite with Kota Ibushi to reform The Golden Elite!

 

He passed away in his sleep at only 55 years old.

He was also known as Tank as part of the Truth Commission and Bruiser Mastino in ECW. Watching back some of his matches, it is clear he was pretty good and deserved better than the stupid Mantaur gimmick.

 

Here's what is currently scheduled for tonight's WWE Monday Night Raw from Buffalo, New York (at least until someone makes last-minute changes):

  • Becky Lynch vs. Zoey Stark
  • Drew McIntyre & Matt Riddle vs. Imperium
  • Tommaso Ciampa vs. The Miz No Disqualifications
  • Cody Rhodes says things about Brock Lesnar
  • Ricochet and Logan Paul face-to-face confrontation
  • Alpha Academy holds a graduation ceremony for Maxxine Dupri

What are your thoughts going into tonight's show?

Except posting here is what admin has asked us to do in previous situations. PMing was literally discouraged. I did end up sending an email.

Edit: Sorry, I realize he directed people in that specific situation to !moderators@lemmy.world, but there have been multiple times in extremely similar situations over the past week when users have been told to post here. Both are modded by the lemmy.world admins, and I would think either is appropriate.

RJ City is so good. I'm glad he's been getting more screen time on actual TV.

I don't have a big reason. I signed up for a secondary account on a tiny instance when lemmy.world was having trouble. I like the more close-knit feel, but I was also already kind of established here. So I just have both now.

You're good. I think a few are misunderstanding my intentions. I do have an alt on a much smaller instance, and I know how all of that works. But lemmy.world is my primary instance, and in the interest of this specific server, squatters and inactive communities aren't a good thing. Admins here have already asked that they be reported so they can be removed.

I understand how the fediverse works. This is a support community for the specific instance Lemmy.world, not the entire fediverse.

 

If anyone is interested in helping to grow this into a positive place, send me a DM. These communities are what we make of them, and I'm just one guy with a family.

Yes, you are technically correct that a community with the same name could be made on another instance. But this is the Lemmy.world Support community. As the largest Lemmy instance at the moment, why would they want their server full of inactive communities modded by squatters? It's also my primary instance, so why would I want to create another account elsewhere just to make that community?

[–] ogsaint@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago (4 children)

That's why I posted here. I didn't want to overstep by sending PMs.

 

There are a few regional ones that I'm sure some would love to see thriving, but I'd personally like to see an active SexOver30 community for those of us who are not spring chickens anymore. I know others have been removed for similar behavior.

[–] ogsaint@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

User buelldozer has done the same thing with several communities, apparently reserving them for the mods of the corresponding subreddits.

I'd like to see c/sexover30 active and would take it over to see that happen.

 

This is definitely worth the watch.

Tony Khan loves a tournament. There are three currently going.

 

Weird that they haven't announced MJF/Cole's opponents or shown an actual bracket. Kenny vs. Yuta should be good!

 

Dave said the abrupt turn by Shayna Baszler at MITB was always the plan and was something Ronda specifically wanted, but it was delayed because of Ronda's injury. Now the story has to be rushed because Ronda also gave them a "hard out" for when she will be done.

People love their tribalism (as evidenced by the downvote you got), but it's so dumb. I have better things to expend my energy on than whether or not someone likes the same things I do. I'm hoping some others get involved in posting here so we can build a positive wrestling community. There are very few of those!

Welp, apparently everything got changed at the last minute. I wonder who would do such a thing...
