Creepia Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 Not really, apart from the one dude pretending to be all macho and telling people they shouldnt have feelings and opinions, everything pertains to the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St★rstruck Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 What got me is someone apparently losing respect for Undertaker because he supports Blue Lives Matters. I realize there's criticism over the whole thing, but come on lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muur Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 Worse than Taker simply being religious, is that he turned religious solely because of his wife...like, he wanted nothing to do with it, and then she made him check out church...he drank the kool-aid, and now he's giving sit-down interviews with creepy pastors on youtube... kinda funny when his character on screen is basically satan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nerd Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 I feel the opposite tbh. Im more into him this year than I have been since 2014. Same tbh.

I could take this somewhere else but I agree and see what you mean. Especially as a black man.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St★rstruck Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Yeah, lol. Like, I'm black and I'm fully aware of the police brutality that goes on (not just with black people, either). I have a shit ton of good friends in law enforcement and I'm also security forces in the military, so I see shit from both sides. Not all cops are bad. That's all I'll say about that.

Creepia Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Wow, I totally just got why its called Blue Lives Matter. Eeeesh. Here I was sitting here thinking what the hell is wrong with supporting the police? Now I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great points tbh. I've had plenty of cops who have looked out for me and actually saved me from myself. So I'll never be cynical to them. But I've also see the dark side of that for myself.

M3J Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 How many times does he say You Know? LolSeems like quite a few wrestlers like HBK say that a lot. Also, does Taker talk about cops/Blue Lives Matter? My respect for him went a bit down after learning he's Blue Lives Matter/staunch Blue Lives Matter. The stuff that makes your respect for him go down, is the stuff that makes folks like me respect him even more. Buncha wimps around here crying about him being a typical dude What a stupid logic. Nothing typical about that. Don't see what's "wimp" about that, but whatever makes you feel better, I guess. What got me is someone apparently losing respect for Undertaker because he supports Blue Lives Matters. I realize there's criticism over the whole thing, but come on lol. If Blue Lives Matter was a legitimate movement for the cops instead of a retaliation against Black Lives Matter and an attempt to invalidate that movement, then I would be all for it. If you want to share your views (which I won't respond to unless you want me to), then US Political thread would be the place to do so. but anyway, I don't see Taker becoming religious as that bad, especially compared to his hunting. Kinda *censored*ed up that people are okay with killing animals.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepia Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 The hunting thing is really my main gripe here tbh. No way to justify why someone hunts in 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGPLX. Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Does he hunt for sport or food though? Although to me there is no difference, i feel there's a slight distinction there. I can't help but wonder how many people in here bashing hunting still eat meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightning116 Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Boy. This thread escalated quickly. One of my favorite parts of the interview is the simple advice he gave to the younger guys: it's not about the moves and how many you do. It's telling the story in the ring. That's what matters. I'd really like him to repeat that, cause some fans nowadays don't seem to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepia Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 This thread didn't 'escalate' whatsoever. I know some people are afraid to talk about hot-button shit, but whatever was brought up was brought up because it pertained to the interview.

M3J Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Did he mention how more wrestlers should speak up instead of just being content enough to make money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maskedmaniac Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Imagine if Taker did an angle where he started wearing a MAGA hat and talking shit about millenials and shit. The he comes across in these interviews I can honestly see him doing something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motown Saint Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Very interesting interview. Honestly, I'm not surprised that he's a hunter. Heck, that's what some people in Texas do to provide for their families. Shawn Michaels hunts to provide for his family, and he also donates some of it to local food banks. As for him being religious and a supporter of Blue Lives Matter, I don't see anything wrong with that either. From what I heard, this is the same guy that used to go to strip clubs in the early 90s. Maybe he just wanted to clean up some parts of his life. This interview just goes to show that ABA persona was an extension of who he is in real life.

Creepia Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Is Blue Lives Matter not an organisation that blindly supports police officers who shoot on black people? That is what Im given to believe. Supporting the police and supporting something like that are different. Ideally everyone should support the police as a concept.

That is what Im given to believe. Supporting the police and supporting something like that are different. Ideally everyone should support the police as a concept. It is, and it was created as a counter to Black Lives Matter, who were fighting against police brutality and cops usually getting away with killing black people. At least, the main idea wasn't really to support cops as much as it was to silence Black Lives Matter or divert attention away. That's my problem with Taker supporting Blue Lives Matter, though I do have a bit of an issue with supporting cops in general as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango kid Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Actually blue live matter started after cops were being ambush ans excuted because of black lives matter calling for thos people to be charge with hate crimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
