Set 3, Game 5 - No More Jockeys [04.11.20]

[@samallwood2319]

Horne saying there is one I'll walk for, gets challenged for it and then doesn't walk. An absolutely devious move.

[@andracatheduckking257]

He even says "i don't understand the challenge" after saying it's the one challenge he'd walk for

[@Jesse-lv2yo]

I love how he argues about the silver belt like Darth Vader's chest buttons aren't all black

[@cakeash]

Also the fact that the challenge was 'No more fictional' which was never a category in this game

[@davidrysdam902]

It's even better than that. Horne: There's one I'd walk for Key: No more fictional. Horne: That's the one. ... Horne: I'm not walking on that. You had a stronger case with "all black".

[@dariusrejaie7518]

Over a year and a half later and still the most shocking event in living memory

[@TheHumanTheory]

Key calling Horne a Trump man before the game starts, on election night, and then this being the game Horne refuses to concede. There was something in the air that night.

[@kmg43]

Amazing coping you’ve made. However, Horne in the end made the concession.

[@rickywinterborn1004]

I'm in Washington DC and there's an angry group of Horne fans gathering outside the Capitol building

Would be good if Trump had said "I sort of sensed the error of my ways, but also, I quite enjoyed the argument"

[@TheHumanTheory]

@@rickywinterborn1004 I don’t know about you but I get the feeling Horne is indicating he wants us to storm above the line.

[@jessesutton7985]

I guess when you consider Horne is 100% in the right not to walk when the category was specified as ALL black and the picture shown didn't show all of Hogan there are some parallels to draw. A bunch of incorrect people getting mad at the correct person because it's inconvenient for them and then villainizing the correct person because they have the nerve to fight their case. That does just about sum up what happened with Trump. Oh accept he actually conceded without incident once all legal avenues were expended. You realize questioning election results isn't new? Bush v. Gore? And the election was a hot mess which was made all the more suspicious by immediate claims that absolutely nothing was a miss.

Base on the standard given of Darth Vader who wears a silver belt buckle and has red buttons, Horne was wrong.

Exactly. And Vader's got all sorts of silver bits and some red & white buttons. All black with accessories is all black.

I have to say, as a professional wrestler myself, the character that I perform as is a fictional character. That persona is a character that I and story writers came up with and evolved over years that holds similarities to me (the way he looks, moves and sounds) but is very distinguishable as a different person. In his Gawker lawsuit, Terry Bolea made very clear arguements that Hulk Hogan is a character he plays and is entirely different from Terry Bolea the man. So Horne, as a qualified below-the-liner, you should have definitely got to stepping!

[@lemurunc]

drw23 is exactly right. So many times Alex has been way too generous, whether in letting Tim Key keep going after a clear error, or voluntarily walking on shaky ground. Nice to see him argue for a bit for once - even though, strictly speaking, he should have been out. But the problem was really the category. There needs to be a way to strike down a proposed category - like, what if Key opened with something like "Hugh Grant, no more people with a vowel anywhere in their name." The game would just end right there! A category that's so broad it basically stops the game should not be allowed in the first place, and "wearing all black" definitely comes close if not crosses that line.

Well you wouldn't, because you'd be asking the wrong question. The problem with Horne's defence isn't that the concept of 'all black' is problematic in some abstract metaphysical or ontological sense, just that it's definition *for the purposes of the game* is ambiguous.

He did have a cartoon series, and it is a persona, but ultimately it's a real person who's given themselves a stage name. it's a challenge I'd have thrown out early in a game if I still had both spares.

I'm Team Horne on this one, if only because his argument about all black / fictionality is the most human I've ever seen him act, and then he immediately lost his mind while insisting he fall on his sword, and I'm starting to worry about the dude.

When you're rewatching the NMJ back catalogues and you see this hotel background, you know its going to be a good day

[@SlothBird]

this is the most insane game ever

[@bigthecat100]

Very apt that such a controversial game was played on US election night! Down to the wire right up until the end, great stuff!

[@RhianWilkinsonMusic]

Consider this a “boo” and a ”hiss” below the line for Horne not walking on Hulk Hogan

[@visigothic67]

I'm with Horne here. A persona with a silver belt buckle and unknown shoes is not fictional or in 'all black'

[@sullonater]

@@visigothic67 Nonsense, a belt is an accessory not a piece of clothing. Are we saying no rings allowed either? Absolute madness.

[@rehsuekul8706]

wanyesullo you couldn’t see the full photo, I’m amazed he didn’t go for that aspect of such a weak challenge

[@Wolfer1OOO]

@@sullonater you wear a belt and the catagory was 'wearing all black'. you also wear a necklace which you could see in that pic which also wasn't black! When you think about it, Horne is in the right on this occasion

[@VideoNozoki]

Darth Vader has metal alloy on his all black outfit the same way that Hulk Hogan is wearing all black (a black leather belt, where the clasp is probably titanium or stainless steel). Horne should have argued his case, realized he lost, and walked like the others have done, instead of muddying the waters so much that no one felt comfortable continuing the game.

Back Horne to the hilt on the all black Hulk Hogan call. Nice to see him standing up for himself for once when he’s walked on plenty of soft ones before (Buzz Aldrin....). Scandalous that he then walked (without even being challenged!). A ridiculous game. But all in all I don’t think I mind it.
