I JUST STARTED RESTING AFTER WRESTLEMANIA AND REVOLUTION

People are talking about the Oscars probably more than ever. The fact that a man assaulted someone, sat back down, watched the rest of the show, and then got “Best Actor” and was given a speech? Not to mention Chris Rock laughed it off and just continued to do his job? If it was legit, the aftermath wouldn’t have just went down like that I don’t believe. Plus Will laughing at the joke, then going on to smack Rock while smiling, and then getting real angry when he’s sat back down is just too weird. Definitely lots of emotions going on but I think Warriah' is spot on in their response to this. I think Will just lost his cool...not sure how else a non-staged version of this would have gone? Security rushes the stage and tackles the Fresh Prince of Bel Air and all hell breaks loose? Chris Rock was pro enough to handle it and let it ride out, talk out of it and keep in mind that it's about more than just he and Will in that moment. He did the right thing and if it had been staged, no way they would have had Will drop the f-bombs. It just doesn't track. At a time when no one cares about the Oscars, or celebrity award shows in general, whats the number one thing that everyone is talking about at the moment? Something really off the cuff and out of line happened at a ceremony which has since its inception sold itself as the gold standard for all of motion picture and has had many gaffes in recent years but nothing quite like this. Sure no one cares about the Oscars from a celebrity worship/general sense as much as they used to after social media because it's way out of proportion and more accessible than ever before to worship a stranger but that's always been my issue with the complaints about the Oscars...it's not and never should be for those kinds of people. I went to school for film, I'm still a huge cinema buff and the Oscars for better or worse through their almost century of flaws have always served as kind of a film superbowl. As time goes on and people's tastes change, so do the thoughts about what people think something that is widely considered the most prestigious award you can receive for movies like the Oscars should be. So, to your point, everyone is talking about this, yes, but clearly they were trying tons of other things to get people talking aside from this like top 5 comic book movie lists or whatever and that stuff isn't just a nuisance, it failed miserably. This awards show isn't and shouldn't be the MTV Movie Awards and hopefully the failure of the attempts at getting viewers more excited over 'fan selections' coupled with the chaos of a guy who really had no business acting like he did other than celebrity privilege will send them a message to figure out some other way to handle the show in the future. Staging a conflict between two really well-liked guys provides hype but not a lot else. People are definitely looking to see Will Smith be taken down a peg it seems like overwhelmingly (by having to give his award back or be charged with assault or what have you) and I can agree with that because all the fuel is there for the idea that he just acted out and nothing more.

I realize we are on a forum about staged fights but I just don't see what or who staging this benefits?

I'm done with Will Smith. Can't imagine anyone ever acting like that in such a high profile situation. I'm biased because Chris Rock is not only my all time favorite comedian but one of my favorite people and Jada's alopecia or not (also she's been shaving her head on and off and had wild hairstyles for years and years, so I don't even buy that the joke was about that), they clearly take themselves way too seriously and it was embarrassing that he got up there and sobbed after his behavior, taking all the thunder away from the movie he won for and the people he was supposed to be telling a story about.
It seemed like it was more about his own machismo which is absolutely ridiculous too. I know he's had a very public marriage but he just made himself look weak as hell.
Even if he wanted to take the corny 'teachable moment' route he could have waited until his acceptance speech, called Chris out that way and said 'this is her condition and we shouldn't be making fun of it'. He chose instead to puff his chest and it was completely uncalled for. When you go overboard defending your woman based solely on your insecurities everyone notices it and nobody ever likes it.

I don't know it doesn't look that bad to me. Certainly not the real Pepsi logo but better than just a weird blank shoulder for anyone that doesn't like messing with decals.
Should be pretty simple to cover that with a decal though, right? I guess maybe it wouldn't look right though because normally those decals are kind of transparent?

Surprised by the comments here so far. I saw a ton of improvements over previous waves. Everything looked really good to me in person. Definitely top wrestling figure line contender. Maybe videos will help!
Also handled some of these and they're great up close. Hoping some folks change their minds.

I think the general consensus when asked this type of question around here is usually *no* with a mostly adult debate. I have more faith in people's ability to just not be bothered by these kinds of things (I don't think this is on the level of the RVD singlet discussion) than most, especially those in the fandom.
So my answer is no.

Completely off topic, but seen as RSC usually keep an eye on these threads, can anyone at RSC say whether or not ye know if you'll be getting more Legends series' in? Really makes life a lot easier for us Europeans. Can't say what or when but it's likely. Just going to take some time. Keep your eyes peeled on the site.

Can anyone pull some of the angriest direct-quotes from Cody about WWE? I'm wondering now if I'm just not remembering it correctly or missing it or if I just overlooked it or what. All I ever saw was him talking about being the alternative.
They didn't do a great job at it at first but there's really no denying a lot of their show feels a lot more like real wrestling at the moment than most of WWE aside from what's at the top.

I don't blame Cody for leaving if so. The vision and dream of how AEW was supposed to be is gone. All the indy talent they signed to build AEW Tony lets go because of signing all disgruntled WWE talent that feel they deserve to be in main events.... and they all are in the same spot they were on WWE just in AEW now. It's a bit off topic but this is an unbelievably tired argument. AEW definitely has issues but pushing non-WWE people is not one of them. I'd go as far as to say they don't push enough of them as I'd still like to see Christian doing something else in a more serious capacity and I do think Cody could have done other things and I can easily get bored with younger/newer talents on the show who aren't as good at it as those two, for example. So far a lot of the folks being let go/not having their contracts renewed, I'm sorry to say, are right where they should be. All but two of their current power ranking names (whether it matters or makes sense or not) and even every single one of their champions at the time of writing this are people who didn't come directly from WWE and the guys who did come from there either have supporting roles or are in spots they seem pretty happy with and are either sinking or swimming based on how good their characters are or the booking is and that's it. What else can wrestling really be? And who exactly is disgruntled at this point? Maybe I'm missing the direct quotes. I don't know the solution for this type of complaint other than creating championships for almost every single talent and letting them all be champion at once so then maybe people would be satisfied with their favorite being highlighted. Then we'd have a show with tons of champions and no conflict and it'd be weird and boring. If the original vision is a bunch of hokey indy talent doing stupid spots or even over the top, heavily choreographed athletics (which to Cody's credit I don't think was what he was trying to accomplish and to AEW's credit I don't think is the original vision), count me out. There is still too much of it at this point but Orange Cassidy is settling into that role in a way that's bearable and as long as it just happens towards the beginning of the show it can mostly be ignored. You don't need more than one or two guys like that. It's an improvement that the company isn't leaning too hard in this direction like it was which I think makes it all the more shocking that Cody is out.

This will be fun to see the fandom roles reversed and everyone losing their minds when he shows up in WWE as if they haven't been dragging him for 3 years

You could make a case for almost anyone in the modern era who stops at the stage, poses and keeps going I remember one where Rhea Ripley was coming in to stop a beat down and she stopped and posed when she was running to the ring.

Definitely sad and a pretty big shock. Glad we got his level of involvement for the last movie and hope those who knew him personally are handling their loss ok.
