I think Laning Phase is ok, i Need some advice for mid- to lategame. Is there any good pro gamer or youtuber to Watch some educational Videos?

I'm in a bit of a predicament
28M personal trainer in the UK. Very new to the industry. I currently work for a big commercial gym chain. The area is nice, but the clientele is very low value as there is no contract for members with my gym and you can be a member from 16 years old. My current monthly rent is £790 a month, with the first payment due on 1st July. I do 12 hours of contracted work where I help clean up, do gym classes etc for minimum wage.
I went into a gym nearby the other day, which opened at the end of march. This gym is a franchise and seems a little more tight knit with a minimum of one years contract for members signing up. There is currently 1 PT there. I got talking to the owner about rent prices for personal trainers and the conversation turned into essentially an informal offer from him for me to come and PT there. I said I'll need to think about it.
Do I stay at my current gym or take the plunge and accept this offer? I've listed pros and cons below to make it a bit clearer:
Pros of my current gym:

1. Extremely close by (15 min walk)
2. Management leave you to get on with what you need to do
3. Job stability as I am already here

Cons of my current gym:

1. Lots of poorly maintained equipment
2. Dirty
3. Understaffed (another PT is leaving in 2 weeks and they are having to close the club earlier)
4. Expensive rent
5. Flakey clients/lots of students
6. Contracted hours are mandatory
7. 24/7 with staff hours between 6am-10pm, so erratic contracted shift patterns

Pros of new gym:

1. Brand new equipment
2. Clean
3. Only one other PT currently, so potential monopoly on clients
4. Flexible with rent choices (no contracted hours for more rent or do a few hours for less rent etc)
5. Staffing hours 8am to 10am so little bit easier in the mornings
6. Potentially higher quality clients and client retention

Cons of new gym:

1. Been open for 3 months and only 1 PT (potential red flag?)
2. Further away (20 minute cycle or 10 minute train)
3. Could join and end up getting no clients, then I'm really fucked haha
4. Potentially same value clients as current gym
5. Lots of competition from other gyms in the area

If you guys have any tips or advice on how best to proceed I'd really appreciate it

So I’m just gonna start with that I do not believe the experience I had was the normal experience that one would generally have. We also did a 2 park 1 day pass, since the rest of our trips itinerary was filled with doing the Disney parks, and although most of what we wanted to do was at IOA, there were still some rides we wanted to do at UO, I’ll start with the rides.
Every single ride we did was 10/10 hands down, we did (in order) hagrids motorbike, velocicoaster, took the hogwarts express to UO, Gringotts, Men in black, then walked back to IOA and ended with the hulk (I’ll get to why we did so few rides in a minute). I had an absolute blast on all the rides as I’m definitely a thrill guy when it comes to how I rate amusement park rides.
The experience on the other hand was borderline just straight up bad, probably like a 5/10 at best. To start, we had to go on a Friday, which closes early for whatever reason, second, it rained while we were in the line for the motorbike ride, so we waited for almost 3 hours before we could actually get on that ride. Then after we did that, velocicoaster broke down for a good 20-30 minutes making that line take way longer. Then probably the worst part of the whole thing, the middle school graduates showing up. The lines were way longer than they probably would’ve been, they were extremely obnoxious and literally screaming for no reason just sitting in line, tons of kids were just cutting the whole line because a few kids from their group were ahead of them, it was just not fun. and to top it off, we really didn’t have that much time to just walk around and experience the park due to our time crunch. The entire time was just sitting in line for rides, riding the ride, then hauling ass to the next ride so we had enough time to do what we wanted to do.
Do I wanna go back to Universal again, absolutely, I feel like I won’t actually be able to have the full experience without spending at least 2 days there. would I go back if it meant I had to have the exact same experience, that’s definitely up for debate.

Heyyyy guys, I’ve been studying HD for the past two years and I’m kinda gettting the hang of it but after a horrible 2yr depressive slump of horrible events happening back to back I’m not sure on how to move forward. For reference I have the full channel of 3-60 and innocence motivation so I’ve kinda accepted that there’s seasons in my life and I just have to let things flow sometimes. It gets confusing because I’m a 5/2 generator( which to my understanding is self motivated which I’ve honestly been all my life),with left arrows and to my understanding left arrows are supposed to approach situations strategically and be specific in regards to what they want and have a routine and schedule which honestly keeps me sane. And i have most of my chart defined except my throat so Im just a bit confused on how to get out of this slump without initiating and letting life come to me but it’s been 2 years now and Ive been making baby steps but tbh my life is still a mess. Majority of the time in my life when I’m “manifesting” what I want, I usually get what I specifically wanted, how I get there is my problem because majority of the time it’s always followed after a depressive slump of things just going wrong. Ive added my chart for reference and I would love if someone could shed some light on this as I’m using my chart to learn more about HD and myself. But I’m totally confused because I’m waiting for the “moment”but I feel like I’m wasting my time, however anytime I’ve tried to initiate anything in my life it ends up going wrong.

Hi guys,
I’ve been in the us for roughly 3 weeks at my fiancées parents house, we are about to get married but we just got an apartment prior to that to which we will be moving to soon.
How do I inform the USCIS that my address will change since they have me staying at her parents house?
Thank you very much

Guys, any advice on preparing for A2 Computer Science papers(3&4) this winter as a SELF-STUDY student?

Hi guys, I am a 2022 passed out Computer science engineer from a tier 3 university .I have 8.65 cgpa out of 10. I converted my score using scholaro report and got an equivalent gpa of 3.68 on a 4 scale. I recently gave gre and my score is 170 Q and 162 V. I am targeting for Fall 2025 for MS Computer science with specialisation in AI. I have 3 research publications in some not well known International Journals. Till date I have 2 years of solid work experience as working as a Developer in a small company (Startup like culture [Headcount 80 people]) I am currently working as an AI engineer like Gen AI, Open AI Gpt , llms and building AI end to end solutions for our clients. I am yet to take IELTS and i am targeting a band of 7.5 or 8. Kindly suggest me Ambitious , Moderate and Safe Universities in USA and tips to pitch in my SOP and LOR’S . Thanks in Advance.

I know you're all pretty engaged and I may get a flury of downvote, but I have to tell you now so at least listen before you s-word me with a truck in the back.
I know it's very frustrating, when you get used to a gameloop and it get cooked. I get used to gameplays loops many times and i get cooked too.
I went into scrap hauling, they removed it completly.
Then. I thought If i could get my hand on raw materials it would be similar to the scrap, low investment, good income rate, but even better.
I went into minning, well they removed the quantanium probability, up until i could only found one / 3 days.
Nevermind, I went into bounty spamm, but it's not my kink atm so I play a little less, I discover darktide, now I am a crazy maniac at destroying IAs tactics.
What I try to teach you guys is that all that energy you fit into resisting to the tempest will make you break, meanwhile I reinforce myself because I am not static, I flow with the flood. I have learned many aspect of the game and other games and now I am better than ever and they finaly bring a better than ever cargo system.
Instead of raging and geting into a depression I just recycled myself.
I understand everyone is very engaged with the project and I thank you all but if I was to stick with the old mechanics I would have nothing, I endured the crapy 30k cargo runs, I let CIG do their job and now I have a banger cargo system coming. Let CIG progress trough the necessary steps.
I wish everyone have a nice day and everyone can chill one step back.

hi guys! i feel like this is the 1 place where others can understand me. i’m currently taking an anti depressant and an anti psychotic and i have an appointment scheduled with my psych to talk about adjusting my meds. im in a bad depressive episode where i sleep hours and hours and most of the day away, usually not waking up until 3, 4 or 5 pm and getting out of bed. any tips on behavioral adjustments to avoid laying and sleeping in bed?

It might be a bit specific but I had just read 3 (pretty popular) fics about this and really wanted more.
The first one is "Borne of Caution" which is alright. The main concept is pretty cool (Animal researcher gets fucking nuked) but MC is kinda too overpowered for me (Also, I kinda hate how Ninetales just completely overshadowed everyone elses on the team). Lee is an alright guy, I guess.
The second one is "PMD: Warped Skies" which is superb. I always loved pokemon mystery dungeon stories. I really like how the third arc doesn't take any plot lines from the base game and it's completely original. Also the many plot twists are great. Sean Meowth Alolan Meowth Scout SI-OC Scout is a cool guy.
The third one (which I just finished) is "The Type Specialist" which is also superb. The MC feels more personal with pokemons than Lee without going into "Straight up talking" territory. I love the way the author spins the og plot into something more original but still recognizable. Alex is a cool guy.

I have three tix, section 106, row JJ, seats 1-3. Can’t make it and would like to see the tix go to a fellow Bills fan. The catch is that you have to DM your name and email to a random guy on Reddit (me) so I can transfer you the tix. I’ll also prob take a quick peek at your post history to make sure you’re not a serial killer or a Dolphins fan.
I’ll delete this post once the tix are gone.

I’m a “customer care rep” and omg do I relate to a lot of you guys in a different way. these members call in and just rip my head off when they have a shitty policy or shitty plan. I can’t even meet these stupid metrics because our surveys are based on Our service(which is valid) and CAREMARKS service like how good the company is and everybody here can agree “good” is debatable. I keep getting dumb surveys on how bad the company is and how their stupid PA’s get denied and how they can’t get their meds because of rejections we can’t fix or some dumb bs. Like PLEASE CALLERS SURVEYS ARE ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH ME and I’m not getting a raise when you complain about the company on these surveys take it up with corporate for all I care but geez I need a raise for all the crap I deal with. Some days I just want to bawl my eyes out. My supervisor just keeps telling me things I already know too it’s annoying “fyi this fyi that” and to have to explain to people their policies and they still don’t get it just for them to ask for a supervisor for them to reexplain what I just explained like deductibles and stuff like that is so annoying. I got a survey the other day because some dude was trying to refill some mouthwash too early and there is NO override for refill too early unless the doctor sends in a new prescription for a higher quantity and the member complained like dude I would be doing you a favor you ran out early this time if the doctor sent you a new prescription with a higher quantity you wouldn’t have to worry about another override or rejection and I looked at his account HE HAD TO GET THAT EXPLAINED TO HIM 3 times and I get the bad survey. Idk people amaze me everyday on their lack of comprehension.

Hello all you DG people! After scrolling and reading, I have decided to make my own post.
To all you new hires: I wish you good luck, there are good stores(still pretty shitty though) and there are terrible stores. I say hold the job till you find something better, but don’t forget to document all that goes on in your store when it comes to your higher ups.
To the customers who are a part of this sub Reddit: hi there! As you can see, there’s a dark side to the store that tries to promote being there for the community. I hope you don’t take this to heart as we employees are trying our best to help and get things done to make the store look better
Onto the main event: I’ve been an SM for 3 months(May not seem like much but it has felt like 6) and I completely skipped the ASM position to be put into this one, as I’ve been with DG a little less than a year. As I’ve finally been in this position of authority, it’s also broadened my perspective of the company. I work with a good team, and our store does pretty well for itself. I see that most people quit, for fair reasonings, and even I’m looking at different opportunities because of the way they set their priorities. I was never taught how salary works, but after realizing what it’s like, I now see why people don’t like salary unless they’re in a better position with better pay. Their training program for the SM position was pretty much a two day CBL nightmare, and barely any hands on training. I basically taught myself on everything besides what the CBL’s highlighted and I believe I’m doing it right(I have no idea and I haven’t been chewed out by higher ups yet) but we will see. One thing I must add, is that if you’re sick, or ill, go home. They’ll try to have you stay and work even if you’re sick to “save face” and look good in front of others, but there’s only so much one can take when they’re sicker than a dog. I only know this because my significant other had gotten me sick, and I tried pushing myself to work, but I nearly didn’t make it to close with the fever I had(102 something degrees) and they still didn’t care. I had to use vacation hours to get an extra day off for recovery, but they wanted me to try and make up the hours two days before payroll was supposed to be done, which was never explained to me until the week after. This company wants to work you like no tomorrow, and not really pay you. If you complain or whine or moan, they’ll give you a bunch of empty promises to keep you on board. The more “childish”you act(mainly looking out for yourself), there’s two ways it can go either 1: you get special treatment because either the SM or the DM believes you’re valuable or 2: you get shitcanned because they don’t see you as someone they want to keep. So my DG people, I give you this hint of advice. Two weeks is “customary” but not required if you’re looking to never return, so for those At Will employment state workers, you can terminate yourself and you don’t have to give them a reason(but I bet you knew that already) BUT your employer could do the same thing to you and that’s usually what’s highlighted when you look it up. My best advice on if you should stay or go? Stay if you’re beginning to see improvement within the workplace. Go if you know that it isn’t worth staying. You’re only human, and there’s only so much you can do on any particular day or even week. Get out while you still can, and don’t hesitate to go over an SM’s head when it comes to internal conflicts. Remember to document it all, keep your clock in/out sheets, and take screenshots of your schedule changes especially if they’re way too late. I wish you all luck, even if you decide to stay, but there’s always going to be a better opportunity for you guys if you take the step towards it, mainly that step is out the door of a DG, to never return, and be happy for once.

Did my best all night fanning ppl to keep yall cool during day 2. Stay safe hydrated and cool on day 3 you guys!!!

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm RBS, a self-improvement coach, and I've got something special to offer you, absolutely free—no strings attached.
But before I dive into that, let me share a little secret with you. Just a year ago, my life was pretty tough. Every day seemed clouded with negative thoughts, and my relationships, both with myself and others, were strained. Feeling alone and worthless was my norm, and I settled for less because I couldn't believe I deserved any better. It felt like a hopeless cycle.
I was constantly worried that no matter how hard I tried, I'd never measure up. This fear kept me tossing and turning at night. I tried improving myself, but it felt like I was stuck in an uphill battle with no end in sight. I started questioning if all the effort was even worth it. At times, it seemed like my fate was sealed by what I was born with—like success was reserved for the naturally gifted.
But then, something incredible happened about a year ago. Thanks to the grace of Allah (God), my life took a turn. Now, I chase my dreams with an unparalleled drive, exuding confidence and energy like never before! Today, I'm happier and more accomplished than I ever thought possible.
So, what changed in that year? It was surprisingly simple... I stumbled across my mentor.
But why a mentor, you might ask? Having a mentor was a game-changer for me. It wasn't just about getting directions; my mentor provided priceless feedback, drawing from his own life experiences. He has been through it all and knows what worked. When things got tough, he was there to give me that extra push and remind me of my potential.
So, if you're feeling stuck, consider seeking guidance from a mentor. Someone who's been in your shoes and can help you navigate the path ahead. That's why I'm passionate about mentoring others for free!
As a self-improvement coach, I'm dedicated to helping young men transform their lives and become the best versions of themselves. I draw from various sources like books, podcasts, studies, philosophy, and personal research.

26/01/2014 - WWE Royal Rumble
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Commentated by Jim Ross, JBL, and Michael Cole
We see some footage of superstars arriving to the arena today. The Authority arrive in a limousine; WWE Champion Randy Orton, Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, and Kane. Daniel Bryan is shown walking with Brie Bella. "The Animal" Batista shows up in a truck and flexes for the camera. The feed cuts and glitches out revealing a dark room with a empty rocking chair moving slowly. "We're here."
The iconic voice of Jim Ross welcomes us to the 2014 Royal Rumble as pyro erupts from the stage and the fans go wild. The Authority's music plays and the mood quickly shifts, the crowd rains down boo's. Here comes the WWE World Champion Randy Orton. Orton talks trash to some fans in the front row while Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, and Kane make their way out as well. Orton raises the title as HHH passes him a microphone. Orton is in a great mood tonight. He's got the night off and there will be 30 men all vying for a chance to get RKO'ed in the main event of Wrestlemania 30. The crowd chants, “Daniel Bryan” as Orton laughs and promises that Bryan doesn't stand a chance. If you want to win the Royal Rumble you have to be taller than these marks in the crowd, you can't be a front row wrestler like Daniel Bryan or CM Punk. The crowd breaks into a deafening “DANIEL BRYAN/CM PUNK!” chant as Orton highlights some of the past winners like himself, Triple H, and Batista. True superstars who all pass the airport test. Triple H takes the microphone and tells the fans to shut the hell up and respect greatness. The reason The Authority are out here is because they want an answer from Batista. Will The Animal join them, take the #30 spot, and win the Rumble to make the biggest Wrestlemania main event a reality? Batista's music hits and he gets a great reaction. First of all, Batista thanks the Pittsburgh fans and everyone in the WWE for welcoming him back with open arms. Batista has a ton of respect for Triple H and Orton after all those years in Evolution. They all shake hands and it looks like he's accepting the offer. Triple H tells Batista to make the right decision and do whats best for business. Batista gives the THUMBS UP! The Authority are all psyched up until.... Batista, who still has his thumb in the air, says "What's best for business.... is listening to these fans! Doing things the hard way, the same way he did it through his whole career. Batista didn't come back to be handed anything, he came back to prove he can still be The Animal. The man who beat Triple H in the main event of Wrestlemania.... The thumbs up is turned into a THUMBS DOWN! Kane charges at Batista but gets clotheslined! Randy Orton and Tripe H flee from the ring as The Animal delivers a Spinebuster to Kane and rattles the ropes! Triple H screams that Batista is going to regret this decision.....
A video package of the feud between Divas Champion AJ Lee and Mickie James is next. After AJ Lee defeated Naomi to retain her title on RAW, AJ declared she had no competition in the locker room. Cue the surprise return of Mickie James! Former psycho versus current psycho, legend versus future legend. They exchange verbal barbs over the next few weeks, with Mickie picking up some big wins and earning a title match. During a contract signing on the final RAW before the Royal Rumble, things finally turned physical and Mickie put AJ Lee through a table with a huge bulldog from the top rope! Everything comes to a head tonight with the championship on the line.
Tony Chimel lets us know that this contest is scheduled for one fall as Mickie James makes her entrance and gets emotional at the ovation from the audience in Pittsburgh. Divas Champion AJ Lee is next and she gets a mixed reaction; the fans love her but are definitely backing Mickie in this one.
AJ Lee (c) vs. Mickie James for the WWE Divas Championship

They battle on the apron until AJ sends Mickie head first into the ringpost. Mickie seems genuinely hurt and the referee goes to check on her, allowing AJ to expose the turnbuckle on the opposite side of the ring. She shows no regard for her possibly injured challenger, ignoring the ref and dragging Mickie back into the centre of the ring. Out of nowhere, James nails the Mick Kick! AJ is down! 1-2-AJ gets her foot underneath the bottom rope! James goes for the Stratus-faction but AJ Lee launches her into the exposed turnbuckle! Mickie James is out cold! 1-2-3! AJ retains!

We see Alberto Del Rio, Brodus Clay, and other superstars pick their numbers. Triple H and Paul Heyman in the background; they shake hands and it appears that HHH hands Heyman something before he walks off.
"The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes is here! He introduces his sons, the WWE World Tag Team Champions Cody Rhodes and Goldust! The champions hug their father and make their way to the ring for a Six Pack Challenge Elimination Match! After being on the wrong side of The Authority, The Rhodes Brothers have been put in quite the predicament as they look to retain their title's against all odds.

Billy Gunn pins Xavier Woods via Fameasser (Truth & Consequences are eliminated)
Road Dogg grabs one of the tag title belts and brings it in the ring. The referee tries to stop him but Billy warns the referee that Triple H will fire him if he gets in their way. Billy holds Goldust as Road Dogg charges with the title ---- Goldust low blows Billy Gunn and ducks; Road Dogg knocks out Billy Gunn with the title belt! Cody Rhodes grabs Road Dogg and hits the Cross Rhodes!
Cody Rhodes pins Billy Gunn via Cross Rhodes (The New Age Outlaws are eliminated)
We are down to two teams. The Rhodes Brothers and The Uso's. The teams gather themselves in opposite corners as the crowd swells to a fever pitch. All four slug it out in the middle. Double Superkick to Goldust sends him to the floor. Cody hits the Bionic Elbow to Jimmy! Alabama Slam to Jey! Cody is all fired up! Cody goes for the Cross Rhodes but nearly gets pinned on a roll up. Double Superkick to Cody! Both The Uso's climb to the top rope but Goldust comes back in and drops Jimmy right on his yambags! Goldust meets Jey on the other side and delivers a giant superplex! BUT JIMMY RECOVERS AND FLIES OFF THE TOP! USO SPLASH TO GOLDUST! 1-2-CODY BREAKS UP THE PIN! Cody hits a Disaster Kick to Jimmy but gets Superkicked by Jey! With his last gasp of energy, Goldust nails Jey with the Final Cut! 1-2-3! Cody and Goldust retain!
Goldust pins Jey Uso via The Final Cut
Result- Cody Rhodes and Goldust retain the WWE World Tag Team Championship. (15:59)
CM Punk is taping his wrists in the locker room when Corporate Kane approaches with a bunch of security. Punk stands up ready to defend himself. But Kane tells him to calm down. He's here with a gift from The Authority. Kane hands Punk a Rumble number from the tumbler and tells him on behalf of The Authority, they wish him luck tonight. Kane leaves as punk opens the ball and shakes his head.
A video package showcases the rivalry between the United States Champion Dean Ambrose and Rob Van Dam. After RVD became # 1 Contender, The Shield brutalized him in a 3 on 1 beatdown. The next week, Rob Van Dam attacked Ambrose with a steel chair and delivered a devastating Van Daminator. Ambrose got busted open but the blood seemed to turn him into some kind of maniac. A bloodied Ambrose cut an iconically intense promo backstage in the boiler room where he challenged RVD to a Hardcore match at the Royal Rumble. Rob Van Dam accepted and began to tap into his hardcore style, even going as far as to bring back his old friend Sabu to help him fend off repeated attacks by The Shield. Tonight this rivalry concludes in a Hardcore match for the US Championship.
Dean Ambrose (c) vs. Rob Van Dam for the United States Championship in a Hardcore Match
Van Dam starts off hot with a barrage of kicks to Ambrose. RVD hits his signature barricade legdrop from the apron! He pulls out a kendo stick and starts unloading on the champion. Ambrose stops the beating by raking RVD's eyes and then snapping the kendo stick in half. Ambrose goes berserk, stabbing RVD with the sharp part of the broken kendo stick repeatedly in the corner as JR tells the TV audience to put their kids to bed because "this match is going to be bowling shoe ugly folks". Van Dam slides out of the ring and we see he's bleeding profusely. Ambrose stalks his prey on the outside but RVD tosses a steel chair full speed at his head! RVD goes under the ring and grabs a couple of trash cans and a lid. He smashes Ambrose over the head with the lid and throws him in the ring. RVD sets up a table on the outside but is momentarily distracted, trying to wipe the blood out of his eyes which allows Ambrose to crush one of the trash cans over Van Dam's head. Like a shark that smells blood in the water, Ambrose pounces on RVD and unloads punches to his open cut. The referee pulls him off and checks on RVD. But Ambrose is not done. Far from it. He goes under the ring and grabs a barbed wired baseball bat! As he gets in the ring, RVD kicks the barbed wired bat into Ambrose's face! Spike DDT! Van Dam puts a trash can over Ambrose's head and props him in the corner. VAN TERMINATOR WITH A STEEL CHAIR INTO THE TRASH CAN! RVD slowly drapes his arm over Ambrose. 1-2-Dean somehow kicks out! They exchange punches in the middle of the ring until Ambrose bites RVD's bloody head!!! RVD punches Ambrose just to get him off of him but Dean rebounds with a lariat that turns RVD inside out! Instead of going for the pin, Ambrose picks up the barbed wired baseball bat and smashes RVD in the back repeatedly! Van Dam rolls to the apron but Ambrose follows him and starts grinding the barbed wire in RVD's face! Using the pure adrenaline of survival instinct, RVD reverses into a suplex over the ropes, sending he and Ambrose crashing through the table on the outside!
The fans chant "Holy shit!" as the announcers question how much more these guys, specifically RVD, can take. RVD is first to his feet and throws Ambrose in the ring. RVD climbs to the top rope but Ambrose hits the ropes and causes him to lose balance. He tosses RVD off the top rope onto a trash can! Ambrose goes under the ring and grabs a bag..... The referee tries to stop him but Ambrose shoves him to the ground and empties the contents all over the ring ---- IT'S THUMBTACKS! He turns around and catches a steel chair hurled at him by RVD! VAN TERMINATOR! Ambrose falls into the tacks! RVD goes up top! FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH INTO THE TACKS! "BY GAWD!" Cover! 1-2-Ambrose kicks out by shoving a handful of tacks into RVD's face! Van Dam screams in pain as a now bloody Ambrose pulls himself to his feet and smiles. DIRTY DEEDS ON THE TACKS! 1-2-3!
Result- Dean Ambrose wins by pinfall via Dirty Deeds onto thumbtacks! (22:22)
Rob Van Dam is taken out on a stretcher as Dean Ambrose sits bloodied in the corner, with thumbtacks all over him and the United States Title over his shoulder, admiring his work.
Writer's Note: This match writes RVD out for the foreseeable future to give him a well deserved break. Ambrose is put over as a sadistic, hardcore, psycho path on RVD's way out.
