The color of my glasses is whatever color is associated with one who allows oneself to be entertained giving everything a fair chance,let
the stuff that doesn't entertain them not become some act of war against them by WWE, and checks their cynicism and elitism at the door.

Look, Count Zero's little mention reminds me that you were the lad who spend a lot of time and energy trying to thread the needle on some
heartfelt defense of Roman Reigns last month, thus earning you a reputation as a troll, just trying to get a rise out of the supposedly
smartypants.
I'll be more charitable, and assume you actually do believe the things you say, but I'd also offer up a bit of advice: there's a
difference between somebody liking things different from you, and somebody personally attacking you. Because if every time the former happens, you
come out swinging as if it were the latter, it's gonna get old fast.
I do believe the things I say. But what gets just as old fast is
being labelled a troll automatically because I don't blindly go along with the group think. That is kind of a personal attack, no?

people feel different, and you're not gonna change their minds any more then they're gonna try to change yours, because nobody should ever
waste time trying to legislate tastes. Just relax, and don't get all defensive about it. Later tonight, those 100,000 people don't have a
problem with YOU, they are booing Roman Reigns, OK? You're not doing anything wrong, they aren't passing judgment on you.
I
don't love Roman Reigns. For the most part,I like him and enjoy his matches. But, if he does something I didn't particularly like, I
won't get indignant and automatically declare everything he does from that point on shit before it even happens. That garbage is what I have a
problem with.

I'm well within my rights to do so, but I'll still get a weird look or two, and somebody may even crack a joke about it. In those cases,
it's much more appropriate to just shake it off, move on, enjoy the hell out of my hot dog, and not try to score points on my detractors by
accusing them of preaching at me or having rods up their asses.
Truce?
There is a difference between cracking a joke and coming off like you are looking down your nose and seeing those as subhuman who happen to
like something you don't. Leave that part out and you will get a "agree to disagree" from me.

Like that whole "climate change" agenda those damn liberals are still trying to push.
I thought it had already gotten old, honestly -- no,
not climate change, the other thing. At least we can deal with climate change, if we put in some effort.

And here is the crux of the problem. I can't help how you perceive your own narrative, but this is EXACTLY what I'm talking about: you are
subject to a difference of opinion, and you inject a personal attack/insult that doesn't exist, which in turn colors your response (in an
unflattering fashion).
I can't leave out what doesn't exist to begin with.
And since it's now 5pm, I'm gonna go fire up the WWE Network and begin preparations for being massively underwhelmed if WWE tries to
present Roman Reigns as a beloved conquering hero. But feel free to assume that I'm secretly thinking less of anyone who dares to be smitten by
Roman's charms, and react accordingly.

What's wrong with ketchup on hot dogs?
They are called "letters" when put together they make "words". Words make moving photos unnecessary.

And am I the only one that is officially done with Ric Flair? He pretty much inducted HIMSELF back into the Hall Of Fame. Even Arn Anderson looked
annoyed to hell when they panned the crowd. I mean honestly, you are there to talk about Sting, not that Stan Hanson never bumped for you, trash Rick
Martel (although, admittedly, that was my favorite part of his speech) or pimp your daughter. Talk about how great Sting was, how he made the people
around him better and that he was the most loyal of guys for WCW, and the the fuck off the stage.
I understand them not wanting to bring up Bossman's other gimmicks (despite owning them, now) and trying to be vague about Jackie's and
Sting's other stops, but I am really surprised that The Godfather never mentioned Papa Shango, Kama The Supreme Fighting Machine, Kama Mustafa
or The Goodfather. At the very least, as a lesson to younger wrestlers that the best way to have success is to be yourself as much as you can. Odd.
I completely agree with both of these.

You pretty much imply that anyone who liked the Hayes speech is sub human, exactly what I said you did. Also, being automatically called
a troll by others on this board because I like Reigns isn't a personal attack?
I don't have a narrative. I only have how I feel. I stated how I feel. I, like many others enjoyed Michael Hayes speech and we shouldn't
be looked down on like we are degenerates for doing so.
