Positive press

I'm guessing that was an AI deep fake. Still pretty funny.

100%. And pretty scary that you can make that stuff look and sound that good. It has some obvious issues, but it’s only getting easier.

And yeah, it was funny.

Yes, and so is the cork.

 

[takethepoints]

It’s AI. So, yes… totally fake. But still funny as hades.

True too.

Exactly what we need from Roman. Would love to see him on the video board during the games.

I guess good marketing for GT, but I couldn't make it past 4 min, WWE is so corny.

Carolina Hurricanes hockey games played Rick Flair "whoops" on their scoreboard to energize the fans. Roman would be great at our games to do something similar.

Someone who’s a rasslin’ fan tell me what that all meant. I have no idea what that was about.

Cody and Roman fought at Wrestlemania the last two years for the WWE title. There’s a long history between the two bitter rivals, even including Cody comes from the Rhodes family (Dusty Rhodes, Goldust) and Roman comes from the Anoa’i family (The Rock, Jimmy Snuka, Rocky Johnson, many others). Cody is from Atlanta (state champion at Lassiter) and is a UGA guy, Roman is from GT. So there’s a lot of rival undertones between the two.

Roman led his family (The Bloodline) and the WWE with an iron fist, holding all the titles for years until Cody and some of his friends tore it apart. After Cody finally defeated him in April, Roman went into hiding as his cousin (Solo Sikoa) took control of the Bloodline. Now Roman wants to take control of his family back. Cody wants to defeat Solo who is a top contender for his title belt. So they form an “uneasy alliance” but probably will turn on each other soon for a part 3 battle at Wrestlemania next year.

(Could be getting some things wrong since I haven’t followed closely last couple months)

Yeah, I tried to make it through. But, after the entrances, I was like "gahdayum, this thing is 8 minutes long?!"

Yeah it took me hours to watch it 30 seconds at a time.

And, this is considered good publicity for Tech?

Among a certain niche… prolly so.

 

[apatriot1776]

If nothing else a bunch of WWE fans are kids. Look at how excited the guys were for Sheamus from their own childhoods. Maybe in 10 years some kid from another state gives GT a chance that otherwise wouldn’t because the stadium looked cool in that segment when they were 7.

its not bad. jesus.

 

[Northeast Stinger]

I was asking a question, not suggesting it was bad.

Wow, i'd say it was good. My gf who knows nothing about wrestling was on her phone, and after listening for a couple minutes she asked me what peli/movie I was watching..
