headshuck Posted June 17 Posted June 17 I just wanna know the story behind Focus calling off his engagement. I don't wanna harass the girl for the "why," but getting her perspective on AJ off the mat would be incredible content.I heard he insisted on being his own best man. 1

And by that, I mean, she looked like a normal human being. No signs of cosmetic surgery, no fake tan, etc. 2
Hammerlock3 Posted June 17 Posted June 17 2 hours ago, Interviewed_at_Weehawken said: The funny part of Josh Hokit that he IS blatantly being a "phony," but most people aren't able to figure that out. Like: the phoniness is the joke. Which you didn't get? He literally has four "personalities" that he switches in and out of, sometimes mid-interview. I just saw one where he went from the "Incredible Hok" to Josh Hokit in the period of about 5 seconds. I understand people may not like it, and understand his "joke" was probably not everyone's cup of tea, but he's playing a role and trying to be as cringey as possible and get attention. It seems to be working. its not blatant. Rosa parks sitting getting arrested for sitting in the wrong seat on a bus was blatant, even something thats obvious to the eye of anyone paying attention isn't yet blatant, its intention has to be unconcealed. "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."

LJB Posted June 17 Posted June 17 Hokit's shitck is over the top blatant, but... you just cannot account for the common denominator of the unwashed masses who mostly get their "news" and therefore their "opinions" from social media clips the vast majority of which are 100% fabricated information... it happened here as long ago as the page before... 2
JMill Posted June 17 Posted June 17 Hokit’s schtick is blatantly over the top and purposefully phony. He plays a caricature of a character. Colby’s act is fake, but he makes it come across as sincere.. same with Sean Strickland’s to a large extent. Bryce Mitchell’s craziness might not be a schtick. 1

It's high on the list of most abused words. Now you’re just being blatantly pedantic. Hokit is not hiding the fact that he is playing an over the top character to get attention. He’s broken character many times, including on Sunday night. Anyhow, the most misused/abused words end with -ism/ist and -phobia/ic. I can’t count how many times I heard Hokit’s comments called racist/transphobic on MSM. They were none of those things, and their misuse cheapens their real meaning. Rude? Yeah. Inappropriate, sure. Racist? Not a bit. Transphobic? That would suggest some admittance to the truth of his comment. 2

Huh? Rosa Parks? WTF are we talking about? Watch a few clips of Hokit. One of his gimmicks is a pro wrestler with a bad over the top gimmick. Another is a very timid version of himself. Finally he is the "Down Vato." All were on display last week. Watch more than the 10 second clip you saw on tik tok before making a silly comment. 1
LJB Posted June 17 Posted June 17 considering the amount of vitriol (fabricated or not) that gets spewed by both sides, this feels simply inconsequential... i was feeling like the manufactured outrage might be getting overblown as to whether it really existed or not... what reasonable person could possibly be this upset over 5 words said while performing a satirical skit? 5 words that prescribe to a big part of that political agenda anyway... just seems awfully formulaic from where i stand...

The "religious stuff" he said before his 'major transgression' was part of the joke too, but most of the tik tok space didn't understand that either.
LJB Posted June 17 Posted June 17 the be perfectly honest, i do not even remember what he said before the last line of the skit he was in... the only thing i was actually curious about if he would go full Hokester or not... initially he tried and even he seemed to understand the gravity of the moment and then fell back into the same trite shit we hear after every victory... then he dropped the last little tid bit (which was a total play on a previous post victory interview) and that is about the only thing that stuck with me... as per the BLATANT DESIGN OF THE CHARACTER HE IS PLAYING... i just can not help but the think the outrage is symptom of something else entirely...

It does mean "obvious." You're just not very observant regarding Hokit and you are blatantly digging in because you don't want to admit you are wrong. Meanwhile the Rosa Parks example was just weird. Really weird. Edited June 17 by Interviewed_at_Weehawken

Something about the only person greater than the Incredible Hoke is his Lord and savior Jesus Christ... (Maybe he pointed at the sky; great acting job, regardless) and then dropped the last part

LJB Posted June 17 Posted June 17 Blatant is an adjective describing actions or behaviors that are completely obvious, unashamed, and done without any attempt at concealment. It typically implies that the action is objectionable or offensive, such as a deliberate lie or a conscious disregard for rules. [1, 2, 3, 4] Key Characteristics Unapologetic: The wrongdoer knows what they are doing is wrong but doesn't care if others are shocked. Obviousness: There is no subtlety involved; the act is staring you right in the face. [1, 2, 3 if someone wants to argue if the above is not exactly what the character in the skit is 100% about then they are beyond help... 1
