- His matchs at WCW were works of art. Chavo was amazing also.
Eddie vs Dean Malenko were amazing. Sad that people preferred roid-heads at that time.

I honestly don't think the audience preferred the bigger guys. Most of us were bored shirtless during main event segments and preferred the cruiserweight division.

The cruiserweights are the only reason some of us started watching WCW lol. Sure we tuned in to see the invasion of hall and Nash and hogan's turn, but the mid card is why we kept watching

That's why you don't push vanilla midgets in wrestling. They either roid out and die young or they end up with CTE (or both).

- I prefer a small guy to Scott Steiner. He was a good work, before becoming a meat-ball. But even Triple H condt get a good match of him. When people like Triple H or Kane cant make you wrestle, you're done.

Out of interest, what were your thoughts on Chavo?

Given that someone used the word vanilla for Eddie, I'd say Chavo was a very vanilla version of Eddie?

I still didn't actively dislike him though.

- Great worker. Could carry a match. Lacked Eddie mic skills and out of this world charisma. Was a good middle card. Would like to see him compete in the now dead again, cruser-weight division!

- Wwe got all the good giant workers. Triple H, Mark Henry, Kane, Taker. When they got Show its was end of the deal. I liked Goldberg. But he isnt like Big Dave Batista. Batista got better, Goldberg thought that what he did was already enought.

I doubt it. Without the NWO, WCW is just...WCW. Which was absolutely terrible. Yeah, the little guys bouncing around were fun, but ain't nobody but the purest of the pure wrestling fans, were really giving a significant fuck about it. The ones that could be turned into stars, were appropriately elevated in the WWE. Outside of them, it was just a bunch of no name spot monkeys killing time.

Maybe all they need is a little taste of the old nightstick? Don't go getting lazy now in your retirement years... :p

Never was a big fan of the nightsticks, clubs, asp batons, slapjacks. Never really saw the appeal to the old wooden nightsticks because they just get in the way. One of the guys that I supervised and became really close with carried his dad’s (retired and tough motherfucker from Pittsburgh that had been through wars), but other than that, I just preferred the asp baton, which I mostly used to flush toilets or open garbage can lids at the 7-11 or when doing searches and moving shit around. I used the asp one time on a guy that had cut both wrists and elbows trying to kill himself. He was in a shower and had ripped off the toilet and sink and barricaded the door and I had to kick it in, then we peppersprayed the shit out of him and when he came tumbling out of the bathroom, he was holding a wooden towel holder that he had sharpened and I used the asp to knock it out of his hand. As badly as he sawed through his arms, I was surprised that his hand didn’t come off, but I also didn’t really swing hard.

Now flashlights(and fleshlights, of course) I did use quite a few times. The first time was fighting a suspected armed robber in the back seat of a fucking geo metro. Tight space, two other officers trying to subdue this guy, so I pulled out the flashlight and went to work on his legs. He was on his stomach and fighting like hell so I started sticking in a downward motion to the back of his thighs. During his squirming, I know I hit him in the taint/sack several times. Probably the worst beating I ever threw on anyone in my life. Thing was, he was so fucked up on pcp/crack and who knows what else that he didn’t seem to feel it. It was pepper spray that finally subdued him-not the flashlight, punches to the face by the Lt, strikes to the ribs by my partner-nothing worked on him until my partner peppersprayed the fuck out of me and him and then he and the Lt fled the area while I finally got him handcuffed.

Another time, we were fighting a home-invader in the snow. Another officer had him at gun-point and the idiot lunged for the gun and was almost shot. When I got to them, he was grabbing the officer’s weak arm while he tried to keep his gun back so I tackled him and started wailing on his legs with my flashlight until it went flying from my hand due to wet snow, so I rnc’d him until he took a nap.

Ooh, that’s not gonna make you any friends, but thanks. I do really put a lot of work into those threads. Tis a shame the troglodytes can’t read past a paragraph

And a shame that a self proclaimed use of force expert, can't read and comprehend the de-escalation policy of the ECPD, the case currently being discussed in your own thread.

I think a lot of it is how politicians act. Trump really turned political discourse on its head. It had been heated under Bush and Obama, but it got turned up to 11 under Trump. I think it is really reflected here in the Wr with how we talk to each other and the types of threads that get made. Some of the best threads don't get very much traction because they require more than base level thinking.

I think it's more so that many of us regulars--who haven't been banned repeatedly--have been around long enough to have encountered a lot of the same arguments/takes/comments over and over again to the point where replying to them has become tiresome.

Particularly now that we're in a perpetual campaign season, where people will continue to raise points from years past--the Mueller report has been brought up rather a lot lately--you find yourself rehashing old talking points and speaking for myself, it's annoying and feels like a waste of time but there are some bullshit claims it's hard to leave hanging out there unchallenged.
