I would love if the mods created a “wrestling” forum for us. I feel WWE is as hot as they have been since the attitude era. Honestly, they may be hotter. 
 

@rayzor @LinvilleGorge anyway to create wrestling forum above the tinderbox?  I think we have a market for it. 

Man, that would be awesome.  I love wrestling.  Wrestling is great.

Except for my wife, I have no one to talk wrestling with IRL and haven't found a good forum.  

Wrestling for me has a huge entertainment value.  Everyone knows it is scripted, but part of the appeal is watching it and hoping they reward one of your favorites.  WWE has really improved it's storytelling.  There are moments every now & then when I get pulled in and completely forget kayfabe exists.  THAT is the power of good storytelling.

And really one of my personal on-ramps to wrestling was Kevin Greene.  So, you know.. it's Panthers related..

Oh man that’s a great comparison. Tepper does remind me of a wcw Bischoff. When they were beating WWF in the ratings for a long time, that was the panthers in 2015 era. Then a hard fall from grace…

Went from top of the world to bottom of the barrel in 6 years. Just like Tepper

I don’t know much about wrestling….but I know the Panthers aren’t Sting. 

 

If you knew Sting, you'd know two things about that reference.

 

Multiple times he pulled off a mask to reveal another Sting mask. Which parallels our lack of change, particularly recently. Also, his tag line of "the only thing for certain about Sting, is nothing is certain".

 

But no, the Panthers aren't iconic. Lol

Remember when the WCW had that Sub Zero ripoff character for like a week in the 90s?  They were trying to capitalize on the popularity of Mortal Kombat.  His name was "glacier" or "blizzard" or something, I can't remember.

Glacier.

He was an unlockable player in WCW vs NWO on N64 IIRC .

They had some super silly gimmicks. Robocop as posted earlier, the Wizard of Oz who was just basically some extremely tall dude in a green suit, a mummy. A guy with dyslexia was also a gimmick.

Gotcha.  Didn’t get the reference. 

all I knew was Sting was super popular and the face of it  therefore it in that regard we were the anti Sting

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      Boy we agree on the dink and dunk. I don’t want to watch that kind of football.  I mean okay if you win with it, it could be tolerable but it feels claustrophobic, constrained, limited, boring.  But for some reason I love a smash mouth heavy run game that wins the LOS and gets the backs to the second level.

      I am really sorry  that  happened to you they say to never meet your sports heroes i have friends who met  mickey mantle when they were young and he was a belligerent alcoholic at the time  ut broke their hearts  I had the opportunity to meet and spend  time with Cam Newton.     He was the polar opposite of Steve Smith and his public image.   Polite.  Honest when asked question.  You could tell the things that mattered to him and the things that  didnt. The disappointments in himself and the things that hurt him  those qualities make him quite a good interviewer too  i genuinely liked him   Im sure as young, rich, sports hero, he has not been a choir boy but there is goodness in him  the time i met him i took one of my friends with me from the west coast. She said she didn't like him and wasn’t enthusiastic about meeting him.  She left loving him   No one can say anything bad about ‘her Cam’ anymore

      Agree about oline. They've tried their best to improve that area. But honestly, has it looked like the most expensive oline in the NFL to you? Not just with Bryce. With Dalton's one game where they almost got the old man killed.  Also YAC shouldn't always be hitting a guy in stride while he's running full speed. Pickens killed us after the catch and those weren't all hit-in-stride plays. I remember a play in Miami when a guy caught a 5 yards curl and took it like 30-40 yards to the house. We don't have that in Carolina. Horn might be the closest thing to that but he can't get significant PT for whatever reason. If Bryce keeps trusting his receivers to make plays, I think he'll become more consistent. Seemed like he only trusted TMac. And force feeding one receiver isn't sustainable. Defenses will start to blanket him and take him out of the game. And yeah, keep taking deep shots. I hate all that dink and dunk football. Hate it.
