So you hate someone, whom you've probably never met or interacted with, and you want them to die? I dislike Tom Cruise, so I don't see his movies. I never want to see a McMahon, HHH, or Randy Orton on my TV again. Do I want any of them to die? No, because that's really weird. There are people that I do know that I work with, know from my community, or even from this game, that I dislike, but I don't want them to die. I try my best to limit my interactions with them. I think it's sad that a discussion about a GAME, something you should enjoy, is making people react so negatively that they want someone dead. Especially when this thread has nothing to do with that person. Obviously I was being a bit tongue in cheek with the truck statement, and I certainly wouldn't have derailed the thread just to put him down, generally my modus operandi is to not bring up stuff I don't care for out of the blue or pay it much attention in general, but it was posted, then the stunner post was made...and I made a joke at his expense because I'm not a fan. I didn't think it needed a disclaimer, but I don't actually want anything bad to happen to him. Though, in all honestly, I will probably continue to make jokes at his expense when he gets brought up in topics I'm following and the opportunity presents itself so perfectly, like it did here... It's hard to tell what people intend sometimes on social media. Sorry for the confusion! |

No biggie. In the wrestling community, sometimes you do have the sort of people who say "I hope Jackson hits him with a truck..." and they mean it very literally for whatever reason. So I get it.

I dont think Carl meant he wanted him to die literally...just a figure of speech because he's really not popular in the wrestling community. |

There isn't a way to express the amount of facepalm and head shaking that happened after I clicked on that link. It's like his parents fed him lead paint chips every day until he was 18 and the set him loose on the world. |

It's like his parents fed him lead paint chips every day until he was 18 and the set him loose on the world. .......... I suppose now that the wild speculation is over we can afford to get a little sidetracked here. That said, yeah, I see guys do the most ridiculous stunts these days with little to no advance thought to the real world consequences. It's like they think just because it's "fake fighting, bro" things like physics don't still apply. Well guess what? Fire and gravity don't work, they shoot. There have been some extrememly serious injuries on the independent scene over the last few years because these guys seem to be putting no advance thought into the risks involved in trying to make the next viral video moment. Also, just how unsafe IS GCW? They know there is a stunt like that coming and NOBODY is standing by with a fire extinguisher in case things went wrong? I know Matt Cardona was less than complimentary about his deathmatch there when they had no medical crew standing by and he had to get stitched up by a nurse that was there and then go to his friends hotel to clean up. Seems like a serious accident waiting to happen. Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming. |

Joey Janela against the Mummy would be a fun match.

JMO. but they come across and talk big like they're big time, but in reality a outlaw group with a bunch of goofs that just do the stunts to get a reaction |
