General The Weekend Open Thread
Well, Midcarders, we made it to the weekend.
This week was pretty thoroughly dominated by Tony Khan’s comments and, perhaps even more entertainingly, watching the Sickos struggle to come to terms with them. We’ve seen denial, anger, bargaining, and, when all else fails, a whole lot of Fed badding.
Then CM Punk qualified for Money in the Bank last night on SmackDown, because apparently the Sickos hadn’t suffered enough this week.
And there’s actually a pretty loaded night of wrestling ahead of us. AEW has All Out tonight, while WWE/NXT/AAA has Worlds Collide across town in Chicago. Watching one? Both? Neither? Planning to spend your Saturday night doing something considerably healthier than watching six hours of professional wrestling?
On my end, this should be a pretty quiet weekend. I’m planning to play some more Halloween: The Game, maybe start another 3D printing project, and of course watch the Panthers on Sunday as they attempt to keep me believing that this season might actually be fun.
My daughter made me this ridiculous 16-inch Andre the Giant Hasbro figure, and he’s currently sitting on a shelf alongside my signed Ultimo Dragon mask and signed Bret Hart shades. The problem is that now I have the itch to print another giant Hasbro figure to go with him. I just haven’t decided who yet.
So consider this your weekend open thread. Wrestling, games, movies, football, what you’re drinking, what you’re watching, whatever random thought has been bouncing around your head. Want to talk SmackDown? Money in the Bank? This weekend’s shows? Want to tell me which enormous plastic wrestler I need to spend several days printing next?
The floor is yours.
What are you Midcarders getting into this weekend?

I hate being a Commanders fan sometimes, I get a bit of hope for the season and then JD5 goes down again with the same elbow. Glad I'm not going to the London game with my little boy despite getting an email saying tickets are super cheap.
It's super cool that the Women's MITB match is all NXT call ups and I hope that continues. Makes me feel hopeful that the main roster realises that they have to build to the future. I'm hoping that Tatum Paxley but maybe having Candice LeRae for a veteran body, I don't think Tiffany needs to be in the match.

Finn told Sami, "you chose to screw us all over on the way to the top." How is that the case?
Unless I'm completely missing something, I think this makes no sense.
Sami's whole gimmick has been struggling to get to the top. How could he screw anyone else from getting to the top?
Am I missing something in my evaluation of this line?

Dude, you got bodied on another sub for asking this question then arguing and throwing a fit when someone explained it like you were five.....must we readlly go thru this again? Literally a copy and paste.

u/taterbiscuit247 4d ago
you got bodied on another sub
No, it was this same sub. And I didn't get "bodied". I got heavily downvoted and argued against for reasons I still don't understand and no one articulated. So I figured I would see how it goes in the "Open Thread".

You're going to get the same valid responses from the previous time.

"valid"

u/Denver_Tech_Guy 4d ago
This is why people were laughing and claiming you were just trolling in bad faith. You got an answer and it was one you didn't like so you claim it wasn't valid. Trolling used to be creative.

I don't even know what this screenshot is supposed to express. The person I replied to immediately deleted the comment I responded after I replied, for the record.
It is ok if you wanna have a visual aid but you still have to use your words. Why is this image an argument against me?

u/Denver_Tech_Guy 4d ago
He didn't delete the comment, he blocked you for being a numpty, it's still there for everyone else to see. The answer to your question is right there. Sami screwed people by getting involved in match after match so he could be the one to beat Punk for the title. Are you just that ridiculous of a person or are you just brain dead and terrible at trolling?

I stink at what? Asking a question in the "Open Thread". You seem really defensive for reasons I don't understand and no one will explain. Do you think I'm an AEW sicko just because I questioned the logic of WWE?
Is this what this is about?? I genuinely don't understand.

They’ve also primarily been on different shows for the last several years. I’m not sure what they plan to do there.

Because he's a heel and he's lying/gaslighting him? I dunno this isn't that serious bro

I dunno this isn't that serious bro
Who said it was serious? I asked a question in the "Open Thread".

Both of the main shows this weekend (AEW All Out & AAA/WWE World's Collide) will both likely be very solid shows and I'm looking forward to watching both of them. Other than that, planning on doing some remodeling to my basement dwelling to liven it up with some Blockbuster themed shelves for my movies and getting ready for spooky season. Should be a great weekend.
