What a Pearl Harbor job HHH did on Daniel Bryan. A total miscarriage of justice.

Found it:

Being a pro wrestler and paying to see a wrestling show.

Awful looking moonsault. No wonder they never let him do it on TV.

The three matches I was interested, John Cena vs. Daniel Bryan, Brock Lesnar vs. CM Punk and Alberto Del Rio vs. Christian all delivered and then some. I was sat open mouthed to the Cena/Bryan finish, clean pin with a brutal running knee strike.

Don't tell Overeem, it's fun seeing him get KO'd. Look at this picture:

In other news, we got a Yoshi Tatsu sighting, as apparently he's taken Alex Riley's old job of "wrestler you see backstage randomly".

Man, I liked the Ring of Fire match. First time heels that aren't in the main event have been smart in a while.

Lost in all of the mucketymuck is the fact that DB just got his last piece of the WWE main eventer puzzle: A sudden impact finisher. And by killifying Cena with it he got it over in one night. He's going to be just fine.

Love the fact that you both posted that simultaneously, Double the viewings for me.

I think it's understanding that this a means to an end and it has the virtue of being business sensible. Orton gets the turn he needed, Bryan gets elevated and then screwed without being buried and the company gets the money feud they've been lacking that isn't the same old same old. Win-win-win.

The booking of Punk's championship reign pretty well sucked until he turned heel.

Ah, the joys of DVDVR where at least most people can be sensible about the finish, tempered slightly, by what happened in Punk when HHH got involved in 2011, but overall, sensible. Bryan chasing is a thousand times better than Bryan being champ right now.

After years and years of swerves + pointless swerves, doing the logical thing is the new swerve.

I was hemming and hawing over ordering this PPV, thinking I would for sure feel cheated if Bryan didn't walk out champion. Well, Bryan didn't walk out champion...and I don't feel cheated in the slightest. Bryan beating Cena clean as a sheet was huge, and the match had a great storyline to boot, with Cena wanting to prove the "you can't wrestle" doubters wrong, and getting himself into Bryan's style of match which he has to power his way out of to survive. The celebration lasted long enough that I got what I wanted out of Bryan's win, and now I have more Bryan matches to look forward to as he chases Orton for the title. Meanwhile, let's not gloss over this: Bryan Danielson, the American Dragon, pinned John Cena clean as a sheet in the main event at SummerSlam. That's just fucking cool. Also, loved the story of Punk/Lesnar, with Lesnar overpowering Punk, and Punk using his ring smarts and the no-DQ stip to counter that, (I kept wanting the announcers to hint at something like "Not that Brock Lesnar doesn't have experience, but there's no such thing as a no-DQ NCAA match. There's no such thing as a no-DQ UFC match. Punk's done nothing his entirely life but professional wrestling. No-DQ makes him the more experienced competitor",) but his overeagerness to revenge himself upon Heyman proved his undoing. Let's be honest, I spent my 50 bucks for the above, but ADR/Christian was a damn fine bonus. The mixed tag was meh, Natty/Brie was meh, Ambrose/RVD wasn't bad, but really didn't blow me away, and the ring of fire stip turned Kane/Wyatt into a snoozefest. I almost forgot Sandow/Rhodes even happened, though admittedly I'm a bit drunk and that was hours ago. It was a perfectly good Smackdown match, now can they get these two away from each other? I don't fucking care.

Honestly beating Cena clean is worth more than the WWE title.

Hi. Who ordered the Internet Sharknado?

That was a well booked PPV. Great heel turn as I want Orton dead, and so does most of the WWE fans. Cena can now take time off to get that elbow fixed while Bryan chases Orton.

For the people that bitched, and moaned week, after week about Punk not having a chance to have a great match against Lesnar because it's not "Believeble" for Punk to have an epic with Lesnar. GO FUCK YOURSELVES!!! Not only was that a great match, it was Lesnar's best match since returning. Yes even better than the Cena match.

Is it too much to ask that no-one post that reddit dudes spoilers anywhere on the board? Don't want some cretin to accidentally screw up the spoiler tags and ruin it.

My sweet little girl Monkey. She's basically the best thing that has ever lived. And here we are having some quality time........ And her being completely indifferent to Curtis Axel vs. The Miz

Cocaine, too! And who can forget climbing the old Heroin tree.

I fucking love Gonzalez's sig. On a related note... is there a way to still see someone's sig but block all their posts?

All that is is a miscommunication between QB and receiver. The receiver is under the illusion the back up quarterback can actually play quarterback?

Looking forward to the shows on Fox El Ocho.

Props to Lesnar for making Punk look like a zillion billion dollars. This is the first match since the return where Brock's looked like a pro-wrestler and not an MMA guy (with a strange, natural understanding of match psychology).

I was first AND I typed words. I win.

It was more important for WWE to get over a new top heel (Because look at that heel roster...it's pretty weak (ADR, Sandow, Wyatts, Axel, Barrett, Shield), with Punk, Henry, Show all turning in the last couple months, there are no heels left, really. Certainly no heels you can build a main event around. Sure, it would've been a great moment to have Bryan win the title and celebrate, but Wrestlemania/Royal Rumble are where you go for great moments, Summerslam is largely about beginning the WM build, however so slowly.

This has effectively turned the internet against that Dolphins dude on Reddit, who is now being blamed for Daniel Bryan not being champion. Fucking hilarious. Dance puppets dance.

Natural, I am very sorry to hear about your mother. I can't imagine having had to watch my own late mother waste away. You are a good man. So please stay strong, Do whatever gives you comfort. Parents are stronger than we give them credit for. My thoughts are with you.

The thing I like about JASON X is that there is a way in which it actually is the most "true to the series" thing to do. From a realistic perspective, whatever else the series was, it was an drive-in exploitation franchise, of movies made on the cheap to feed off of teenagers. And what are the absolute most natural things for a true sleazy b-movie series to do once it starts to get long in the tooth? 1) Take 'em to New York City! 2) Take 'em to Space! I like that no matter how much money the series made, and how much horror nerds would wax poetic about it, to the people in charge, it was always and always will be a pure exploitation series. And JASON X is sort of the proof of that.

Y'know, it's a commonly-held misconception that "posting a lot of stupid shit" = trolling, not least by would-be trolls themselves. The whole point of trolling is to incite argument that continues after the troll has absented itself from the proceedings. When the "argument" is a bunch of people calling one person an idiot for posting idiotic things, it's not successful trolling, it's just people playing whack-a-moron.

Bah, I see you all of this and raise you the Road Warriors singing (growling, really) to an awful 80's synthesizer beat: Does anyone know what this is from? It's pre-Crockett, judging by the Roadies' face paint. Edit: What I'm really asking is, why does this exist? Did the AWA think there was a market for a Legion of Doom Christmas album or something?

Loved the entire arc of Jimmy's character from funny Huss to funny in love with Lacey to emo depressed in love with Lacey to emo aggressive in love with Lacey, he made it work perfectly.

"If you do drugs, you're a pussy." - CM Punk Can we please get Punk vs RVD where this is alluded to as the unstated reason for the feud? If I were on Twitter, I'd harass Punk on Twitter until he goes on record as either confirming that potheads are pussies or carving out an exception for them. Any Tweety birds out there who want to take a stab at it for me?

Just block all the sigs like I do. It makes reading the board so much less embarrassing when people end up looking over your shoulder at work and wonder what the hell you are doing.

I hate to be "that guy," but we can't do the WM 1 main event, Owen/Bret, or Bret/Piper, but we can recreate Cena/Miz and Orton/HHH? They say at least 45 matches, but there have to be A LOT of repeat superstars. Guys like Sheik, Piper, Snuka (didn't he start the streak?) Owen and Jake Roberts need to be in there IMO.

Mostly when JBL says something about Zeb it is an insider joke that the marks would get. For example when Cesaro joined the group JBL mentioned twice that he just learned to speak Dutch. Get it get wink wink. So I doubt there is supposed to be a connection from Mantel's old WWE characters

What have they done to the Blue Falcon? And where's Dynomutt? Alternately, that is not the Birdman I grew up with. Birdman, galactic crimefighter and pre juris doctorate.

Dolfan, where do you get your supply of cute animal gifs? I'm gonna fucking need them.

Actually, here's one I just listened to for the first time in a year: Welcome to..... the DARRRKSIDE!
