The coaching staff to David Tepper: “CJ Strouds looks to be the best prospect. We should draft him.”

Tepper: “That doesn’t work for me, brother.”

“Whoooooooo! Take the ride on space mountain, whoooooo!!!!”

I would love if the mods created a “wrestling” forum for us. I feel WWE is as hot as they have been since the attitude era. Honestly, they may be hotter. 
 

@rayzor @LinvilleGorge anyway to create wrestling forum above the tinderbox?  I think we have a market for it. 

Man, that would be awesome.  I love wrestling.  Wrestling is great.

Except for my wife, I have no one to talk wrestling with IRL and haven't found a good forum.  

Wrestling for me has a huge entertainment value.  Everyone knows it is scripted, but part of the appeal is watching it and hoping they reward one of your favorites.  WWE has really improved it's storytelling.  There are moments every now & then when I get pulled in and completely forget kayfabe exists.  THAT is the power of good storytelling.

And really one of my personal on-ramps to wrestling was Kevin Greene.  So, you know.. it's Panthers related..

Oh man that’s a great comparison. Tepper does remind me of a wcw Bischoff. When they were beating WWF in the ratings for a long time, that was the panthers in 2015 era. Then a hard fall from grace…

Went from top of the world to bottom of the barrel in 6 years. Just like Tepper

If you knew Sting, you'd know two things about that reference.

 

Multiple times he pulled off a mask to reveal another Sting mask. Which parallels our lack of change, particularly recently. Also, his tag line of "the only thing for certain about Sting, is nothing is certain".

 

But no, the Panthers aren't iconic. Lol

Remember when the WCW had that Sub Zero ripoff character for like a week in the 90s?  They were trying to capitalize on the popularity of Mortal Kombat.  His name was "glacier" or "blizzard" or something, I can't remember.

Glacier.

He was an unlockable player in WCW vs NWO on N64 IIRC .

They had some super silly gimmicks. Robocop as posted earlier, the Wizard of Oz who was just basically some extremely tall dude in a green suit, a mummy. A guy with dyslexia was also a gimmick.

Gotcha.  Didn’t get the reference. 

all I knew was Sting was super popular and the face of it  therefore it in that regard we were the anti Sting

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      By PadresPanthersFan · Posted

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
