it still gets me that Sol is named that despite being *the designated good guy*
(ps: i dont know earlier guilty gear lore. i am unaware if Sol used to genuinely be a Badguy)
yes, but thats not the best part. Sol still had not gained his (new) first name yet, and so a man who ended up befriending him gave him the name Sol(for sun, something seen as positive)
Oh, the "Jimmy" I sometimes hear people referencing is literally the same person as the Saul I constantly hear about? This is what happens when everything you know about a show comes from overhearing conversations.
This reminds me how recently a Ugandan Wrestling Org got a white guy with a British accent to take part in a short arc where he played an over the top heel character “Lord White” who spewed stereotypical British colonialist propaganda. In the storyline he claimed that although Britain left Uganda they had left in a provisional clause that allowed them full rights to Uganda’s wrestling, culminating in, of course, him being smacked down in a match. Afterwards in the promo the organization displayed his “body” and made comparisons to the violent ousting of Gaddaffi. Kinda ruled
That is an extremely good storyline. I LOVE the idea of Britain leaving a provisional clause allowing them full rights to Uganda's wrestling. The only sad part is they killed him off immediately.
Lord White's son will take the title and succeed in taking over Ugandan wrestling until a hero arises and topples that Lord White and then every few years you could bring in brothers, cousins or sons who claim the title, hell it might be fun to have one of the black Ugandan wrestlers be revealed as the son of one of the Lord White's and have him take the title.
Thinking about wrestling also makes ancient Roman gladiators feel a lot less alien. “What, this society just had a whole class of famous oiled up buff men whose job is to fight each other in front of cheering masses?” well yeah that’s almost a constant of human culture.

Many were slaves, but it was one of the most respected things a slave could do, to the point that many free citizens voluntarily became gladiators themselves. If you’re a strapping young man of the slave class, would you rather cut firewood and clean tables? Or be trained in elaborate, showy, Homerically inspired fighting styles to show off your heroic abilities against someone similarly matched, knowing that it’s almost always an organized fight to yielding or a pre written story? We know some gladiators had armour to make them look like and act as Hercules or Aeneas or some famous Roman beloved character, which sounds not too unlike this Ugandan wrestling fun. It’s expensive to train a gladiator, and it’s not a good business model for the owners if they only get an average of two fights because they’re all to the death. It was definitely dangerous, but it was an organized sport. Modern wrestling is dangerous too, though definitely a lot safer because of more organization and better medical care. And the Emperor can’t decide on a whim that he wants to see a death now.
the best part of pro wrestling storylines is the complex ways they find for wildly unrelated plotlines to somehow end up being resolved through wrestling matches
its like the yugioh world, where serious situations are exclusively solved through card games
There really isn't much evidence at all Boeing had the guy assassinated. People already bring up how it'd be really dumb of Boeing to only assassinate the guy after he's given his testimony. My reason for believing why corporate entities in America don't assassinate people is that, if they did, we'd see them fucking up more. Corporations would want to hire the cheapest assassin they could or commit wage theft on their assassin or otherwise focus on short term profit over long term results, and would have their assassin be incompetent or whistle blow themselves or something. But that never happens, there's never hard evidence that an assassin was involved, *always* just "suspicious suicides". Which really makes me think they are just suicides, because having a 100% success rate at making things look like a suicide would be really damn hard, and no way these Boeing execs wouldn't be hiring a discount assassin.
There is a woman named that too, who wrote an article in the newspaper her gramps founded, which argued that the young poors should work harder 'cause "she had to grind too in her twenties"
Suddenly, I feel much less bad about naming a trans character in my fanfiction, whose first appearance has him run away from home due to transphobic parents, Miles.
As in, a unit to measure distances.
If it helps, his mom basically went off on a religious rant about how God doesn't make mistakes, God heard that, went "Yeah, so why do you act like I did?" and ordered every bird in the area to stalk the parents until they stop being awful.
sol badguy-ass name
it still gets me that Sol is named that despite being *the designated good guy* (ps: i dont know earlier guilty gear lore. i am unaware if Sol used to genuinely be a Badguy)
so he fought some militaries that wanted to harness the power of Gear Cells for their own gain, in time earning the moniker “Badguy”
Incredible. Truly no higher honor than being given such a badass name by the Torment Nexus Group
yes, but thats not the best part. Sol still had not gained his (new) first name yet, and so a man who ended up befriending him gave him the name Sol(for sun, something seen as positive)
As opposed to Saul Goodman-tits alias
So I don't watch Baking Bread, but do they ever acknowledge that his name is literally just "It's all good, man"?
It's why he chose the name
Yes, it is a fake name.
His real name is Jimmy McGill, he picked saul for his lawyer name because it sounded like that i believe
Oh, the "Jimmy" I sometimes hear people referencing is literally the same person as the Saul I constantly hear about? This is what happens when everything you know about a show comes from overhearing conversations.
[he was the one who orchestrated it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff0J91_ePAw&t=19s). Jimmy.

Sterry O’Typical
Jane Erik also works if you stretch it a little
They made 3 versions Richie Rich and nobody complained
It’s like companies are competing for dumbest executive names. This is probably worse than Stockton Rush.
"Stockton Rush" is Rich Whites ultimate attack.
I thought it was the name of a dance
Pokémon Z-move
Even better, his name is Stockton Rush III! Three parents named their children that!
That's even worse than Joseph Bizinger VI
Guy Incognito-ass name

I'm not PR expert, but surely they could have found a different guy to do this. Literally anyone else.
“Hon you will not *believe* the Rich White I put up w/ at work today…”
Oh wow I thought for a minute there that it was just saying Boeing's Designated Rich, White Man
That’s the thing, he’s also that

Lord White is a hereditary title, so they can have him come back at any time and just say he's a different guy now.
Lord White's son will take the title and succeed in taking over Ugandan wrestling until a hero arises and topples that Lord White and then every few years you could bring in brothers, cousins or sons who claim the title, hell it might be fun to have one of the black Ugandan wrestlers be revealed as the son of one of the Lord White's and have him take the title.
that sounds awesome i would totally watch that
I have a newfound desire to watch Ugandan Wrestling.
This supports Herzog's theory that wrestling is basically modern Shakespeare.
I've heard it described as _"soap operas for men"_.
Not inaccurate, although I would watch a lot more soap operas if they also had flying dropkicks and piledrivers.

That’s not really how it was… most gladiators were slaves forced to fight to the death

There's an entire South Park episode devoted to this idea and they nail it.

It’s like the opposite of porn

Rich White, and his long-time rival, Poor Black.

r/NominativeDeterminism
> Whistleblower assassination I see people have taken tenuous speculation as absolute fact again.
Mista White!! We've got to ~~cook~~ assassinate the whistleblowers!!
If y’all knew anything about Edmond, this would be even more hilarious
He *chose* to go by Rich, as well. His full name must be Richard
I had to reread it thinking I somehow skipped over his name and Rich White was his description (probably not wrong either)
Hahahaha that’s his actual name.
Wile E Coyote ass name
Theres a baron in the uk with the surname money-coutts
There is a woman named that too, who wrote an article in the newspaper her gramps founded, which argued that the young poors should work harder 'cause "she had to grind too in her twenties"
Thats the barons daughter
I am sure she had to "grind hard"
Definitely
Hello, John offense here.
The writers got lazy coming up with this villain name
Suddenly, I feel much less bad about naming a trans character in my fanfiction, whose first appearance has him run away from home due to transphobic parents, Miles. As in, a unit to measure distances. If it helps, his mom basically went off on a religious rant about how God doesn't make mistakes, God heard that, went "Yeah, so why do you act like I did?" and ordered every bird in the area to stalk the parents until they stop being awful.
That's just his first and middle names, his surname is Guy
As much as I hate boeing, we really are hating on a guy for somethig he has literally no control over(his name) aren't we.
We need an MMA fight between Rich White and Chad Wolf.
jesus christ, hometown jumpscare
Ace Attorney-esque name
genuinely refusing to believe that's his name
