The calendar doesn't need tweaking, but how it's used might |
Reforming the calendar is hard work. I mean, the only real attempt that went into doing it in earnest was the Revolutionary French calendar, which was a good idea in theory and probably in practice as well. It's just when you have a thing like the current calendar that has been in place since before the birth of Jesus Christ, the inertia one must overcome is gargantuan. Besides, unless you are bothered by the irregularity in days of each month (special considerations for my obsessive-compulsive disorder friends out there), the current calendar is benign at worst. I'm not saying you can't tinker with it, but I don't necessarily think one would need to renovate it severely. I don't even think you have to do anything to the calendar itself; rather, I would love to see habits change with how to deal with said calendar.If you could change the traditional calendar, would you and what changes would you make to it if so?— Thomas SinCara (@beenthrifty) July 8, 2020

Aries, along with Ki, have made some dangerous arguments on Twitter this week Photo Credit: WWE.com |
They're tied for last place. You might think this is a glib answer, but I don't like to give partial credit to someone for an argument they didn't make. Ki and Aries basically are saying the same things, that they shouldn't have to wear a mask because they have freedom or some shit. Aries giving the angle of his militant dipshit veganism doesn't make his argument worse, just funnier probably. He also didn't think to post a snippet from the Americans with Disabilities Act and interpret it out of context. When the dust clears, judging which one of these dangerous idiots is less dangerous feels like a waste of time. Both Ki and Aries should be laughed out of polite society for their virus denialism, but honestly, I bet if they end up getting COVID-19 after lick-cleaning their weights at the gym, they'll sing a different tune.Who had the better take, Low Ki or Aries?— Jake Drury (@SocksUnterShoes) July 1, 2020

Quarantine Writing Prompts: Second-and-Third Generation Wrestlers

Whether as The Natural or Goldust, Dustin Rhodes may be the quintessential second-generation wrestler Photo Credit: WWE.com |
The Good
Dustin Rhodes - "The Natural" probably isn't the best wrestler to have a famous parent in the industry, but he might be the first answer that comes to mind given how he broke into it. His father, Dusty Rhodes, was inescapable in the '70s and '80s, and he was his son's guide to get into the biz in the early '90s. One of dad's most famous promos ever, "The View Never Changes," was an impassioned plea to Dustin even. One could argue that son surpassed father in one area, in the ring. Dustin was regarded as one of the best in-ring wrestlers in early World Championship Wrestling, which was no small feat given WHO wrestled there during that time. Still, being pushed as the son of a son of a plumber when dear old dad was just a metaphorical Sirius in a sky of red dwarves. He never could escape that shadow, at least in WCW.
