"If I asked you to look at your reflection in boiling water, what would you see?"
The Palacio interviews are pure gold....
- Thread starter Brian LB-U
- Start date
You should get a job in the mental health field. You'll see this sort of "pure gold" every time you meet with a client.
Palacio will be the leader of the next big cult. I bet he could get a lot of people to believe his viewpoint. Myself not included
I was actually impressed by the metaphor in the right context lol. I'm just not sure what his point was
His was bizarre to say the least. I found myself utilizing the mute button during his interview both times it was on. It seemed like he was too emotional to win his next match. I couldn't wait for him to lose and he was just lucky to have avoided Nolf by losing. This is the same guy that was brutalized by Retherford previously right?
He's a goofball. Too bad Dean couldn't have lost so we wouldn't have to listen to Kyle Dake's "observations" today. You just know how smug Dake must have been during the Realbuto match until the brain lock happened
He talked a lot before wrestling DT one time. Got all chippy and kept it close for 2 periods. Then DT ran up about 14 points in a minute and teched his ass.
I'm rarely embarrassed for others. My face was beet red hearing him speak....
May prove to be one of the great philosophers of our time.
Yeah, and about none of it original. Great at reciting rappers.
Can't wait until he goes Full Juggalo and asks "F-ing magnets, how do they work?"
Give the kid a break....I know Dylan....He is a cat of a different color, but his heart is usually in the right place.
A lot of that emotion came from trying to win it for his deceased friend.
Wishing for him to lose (unless he is wrestling against your school) when you know the full story is unnecessary.

I like the kid. He's a space cadet, no denying that, but I like his spirit. The world could use more people like him.
I love people who have their own personality! Why would I want everyone else to be the same or want to call them names if they march to their own drummer? How does their being wacky harm me?

I think the boiling-water metaphor was to say: stay calm (like non-boiling water) so you can see. I watched the video only once, though, so I may have misunderstood.
You guys know I had to jump in sometime. 
We need a few Palacio's. Selfie mugging, silly antics and a few choice quotes to get people talking. He's not the Champion but he does back up his talk for the most part.
I would have thoroughly enjoyed a match between him and Nolf....if only to hear Gibbons and Johnson stammer trying to figure out what exactly those two are doing on a mat. Lol.
I'll miss Palacio. Great fun. I like Mullet Brooks and Guitar slinging Jaden Cox.
You know what those guys don't do? Jump into others huddles. They don't knee kids in the head. They don't refuse to shake hands.
I'm all for it. They are fun.

Bubble, water and steam. The bottom of the pan too. You're welcome.
Odd public ranting. Lengthy, slightly mysterious absences from the lineup. Calling out wrestlers whose jocks he can't carry. I believe the personality type is classified as PD3(a).
It is by FAR the most demanding, most difficult, most intense, most intimate, and most psychologically difficult sport, in all of the sporting world. Wrestling is. It gets harder at the elite levels.
I have zero problem with anything that these kids do, to handle and deal with those pressures. Palacio has his way, Thomas Gilman has his way, Sammy Brooks uses humor, Metcalf was a ham, Johnny Hendricks played the heavy, Dr Death Williams invented a freaking WWE persona, Cael's guys have their own persona, based on an entire culture. Palacio is just fine by me.
What I DO NOT like, is genuine arrogance, conceit, and disrespect, and that is Isaac Martinez, in spades.
Gilman IS NOT Imar: Gilman took on a street fighter mentality to deal with it, Martinez....that's who he is: Arrogant and conceited.
I hope and pray Cenzo beats him tonight, like nothing I have hoped and prayed for in a long long time.

IMar is fine. Signed autographs for kids after he got decked by Nolf. Didn't whine or sulk. Donates his time volunteering for those less fortunate in the summer. If that makes him arrogant, sign me up.
Not sure what your issue is with the guy, but you'd be better served to direct your hatred elsewhere.

Could not agree more. This is the proper attitude to have.
