They're both better at laying out matches than the majority of the roster. Del Rio is probably the best heel wrestler in the company because his offense looks credible but he shows enough ass to keep people from cheering him. He knows how to let wrestlers beneath him on the totem pole get in a little offense without making himself too weak. He also makes things really easy for faces to garner sympathy with the way he works them over. The Ziggler and Christian matches are good examples. He's also one of the few gameplan wrestlers on the roster, and by executing his matches with what appears to be a legit agenda, Del Rio creates a more detailed continuity to his matches.Christian is a great underdog wrestler who really excels in cat-n-mouse matches, where he attempts to outwit stronger wrestlers. He's also believable as "survivor" who could possibly pull out an upset win through some veteran tactics. It's difficult to be an underdog, while still looking credible with your successes, and he can pull that off. He's also really good at selling body parts to give himself an out for his losses. More faces that are in jobber mode could learn from that.

Might as well bring this one back from the dead. Forced HJ and all. Again kudos goes to whoever it was that had the idea. Giant Baba and Stan Hansen Splash Mountain

Indeed. The moment that made me a Regal fan for life.

Was at Wal-Mart yesterday and picked up last year's Hell in a Cell PPV for $5. I had an older guy (looked to be in his 50's) check the price just to make sure, and apparently it came from a $5 bin in the front of the store (I did a cursory look in the bin for more wrestling DVDs later, and only saw the "Top Superstars of the 90's"). Got to talking about wrestling a little bit with him, and he named a couple guys while sounding like he was trying to remember names he may have heard from his son, until I mentioned noticing the Daniel Bryan $5 Superstar Series DVD, which lead to him suddenly breaking out into a "YES" chant, arms extended and all. It was awesome.

Because it's not fair to Flair.

Oh, come on. Khali hasn't killed anyone in years.

Yeah, Ernie Johnson is amazingly perfect in his role. His ability to point out when Shaq, Kenny and Charles go crazy without seeming like a spoil sport is the key to the entire show. He gives them enough rope to verbally auto-erotic asphixiate, but he pulls them back before they actually die.

That's actually pretty good. You probably could legit get an entry job at an average TV.production market with similar skills. Seriously, what is with you guys trashing your work then showing it? "I wrote a RAW review but it sucks but if you want to read it..." "Here's some crude PhotoShop"..." Shit, show pride in your work. It's a message board, we're going to shit on it for whatever reason because most of us are assholes, but deal with it. At least if you're going to post it, be proud of it. If someone posts a link to something they wrote and then adds "eh, it's not that great, read it or whatever" or some similar bullshit, well, guess what? I won't. Because I'll take their word that it sucks.

Adr has always reminded me of the Mexican gangster slash politician that had a kid with Nancy on weeds. He's great

It is a classic. Henry was chasing them for breathing air bills. After doing a couple of laps around the building first so he could give them a fair shake.

Here is a classic that hadn't been brought back yet

I love the amount of Mark Henry on that cover. They know what pays the bills.

I was going to just ignore your comments, but since you're so upset about people ignoring them, here we go.. Why is it ridiculous? There is nothing out there that really sounds like it, save for some rappers/producers most have never heard of. Instead of making a collection of bangers and radio hits, he went somewhere really different, so how is that not trying to push anything forward? Yeah, but if a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear it? We're not talking about some producers/underground guys pushing a genre forward, but the biggest rapper in the world taking rap in an entirely different direction than any biggest rapper in the world before him. I can make a whole rap album using barking dogs as samples, it doesn't mean that anyone other than me and my dog are going to hear it. It doesn't mean that anyone is going to be inspired by it. I might have created a different sound, but the genre doesn't move forward because of me. But when the biggest rapper in the world does something different, even if it was inspired by someone else, it changes things, he pushes the genre forward, because he's capable of changing the genre. I mean, I'm sure you'd hate someone like Drake, but you can already feel influences by 'Yeezus' on 'Nothing Was the Same', where the songs are long, have surprising breakdowns and different segments, just the way 'Yeezus' did and don't always go for the easy, radio-friendly hook. Welcome to music! This has been going on forever. First off, lyrically, a whole album of anti-establishment would be boring, and would lead to people complaining that he's ripping off Dead Prez or something. Second of all, you could argue that sonically, the whole album is anti-establishment, the only thing on here that sounds like classic Kanye/radio-friendly Kanye is Bound 2, so that's another way you could argue it's anti-establishment. And I wouldn't say the rest is about his sex game, and I don't think it's bragging either: it's about loneliness, an inability to settle down, trying to balance a family life with a love of the nightlife, feeling trapped and lost, and heartbreak. Just because the subject is sex doesn't make it bad, doesn't not make it anti-establishment, either. All the guest spots either end up sabotaged (Frank Ocean) or are just generally godawful (Keef, Assassin, Vernon). Exception granted to Charlie Wilson, and I am kind of eager to hear a Kanye-produced Wilson record which they've been talking aboutThat's all opinion, and I completely disagree: Ocean's hook is amazing, the Keef/Vernon parts of 'Guilt Trip' are among the more heartbreaking on the album. Ugh. This is like saying "I find 'Moby Dick' to be less of a novel since I've been taking night classes of creative writing".

Wait, so I don't have to hear Wilbon and Magic at halftime, and I don't have to hear Doris Burke call games? This is the very definition of a win win. The only way it could get better is when Bill "Total Control" Simmons gets cut off mid Kobe/PED rant again and writes a eighty five thousand word column about how mean ESPN is, probably using Breaking Bad moments as a terrible unnecessary metaphor.

And Babalu. Palhares is a maniac, does he do shit like that in the gym? I don't think you could be as good at jiu jitsu as he obviously is if you kept injuring your training partners. He knows what tapping out means, he just doesn't care. His banning is totally justified. Why do they allow him to train there? I've done a little training, and holding on to a submission after a tap would get you thrown the fuck out no questions asked. Not only that, someone may follow you outside to kick your ass.

Now I can only imagine a little 4 year old girl in a gigantic fur coat and velcro shoes.

Hopefully he has no reservations about it.

I think the question here is who is meant to be punished by sticking Khali in a world title match: ADR, Christian, or the crowd?

So the Saints might as well have already clinched the NFC South every other team in their division has one or no wins. Damn.

Big Poppa Piss would probably melt the plastic cup. Probably best that he didn't.

You call that "crude"? That's 1,000 better than my pitiful attempts at Photoshopping (or, more accurately, GIMPing). Bravo, sir!

"AH, THERE ARE NO MEMBERS OF THE WWE UNIVERSE HERE!"

Bray ends up in a cave with his master Kevin Sullivan as John Cena remarks that the water is not hot.

I want to meet him and say hey Inoki you like dictators right? Well how my dictate last night? And he wouldn't get it

C'mon, think about this. "Creating awareness?" Who the fuck is UNAWARE of the existence of cancer? "Oh man, Earl. My wife's got breast cancer?" "What's that?" said no one ever in this century. You want to do something for breast cancer? Generate funds for research. Educate women on the importance of regular screenings. Provide said screenings to those who can't afford them. Offer financial support to low income women suffering from breast cancer who can't hold down a job anymore but have to wait months for disability to be approved. What does SGK spend its money on? Fat executive salaries and trademark lawsuits against real charities. I won't even bother to get into the political swing that organization has taken on over the past few years.SGK is a parasitic marketing scheme masquerading as charity, and the world would be better off if the entire organization vanished from the face it, and I'm saying this as someone who lost two members of my family to breast cancer, including my mother. SGK isn't selling companies like WWE on charity. It's selling them on the PR benefits of putting wrestlers in pink shirts. If WWE gave just a fraction of the money they'll kick back to the pink-clad scum to REAL charities instead, I'd say as much as I did about Make-a-Wish: nothing.

When my wife and I first got serious, I made her promise never to risk our relationship in a ladder match. I'm old school. Texas bullrope match or nothing!

This is excrutiating. I feel like Joe Kelly is whittling a pencil out of one of my ribs.

To paraphrase Rorschach, men get arrested. Dogs get put down.

Revolution is one in a long list of sci fi shows that are fantastic concepts and then horribly executed that coupled with the fact that these networks insist on giving some of these shows 22 episodes a season when its clear they only have enough content and story for half of that. Even Lost suffered from steaks of episodes where shit was pretty dull just because you could tell they were killing time. I really want to like Revolution but I couldn't make it through the first episode without just being bored. Its also interesting that these shows pop huge ratings out of the gate before slowly dying. I suspect SHIELD will do this as well once people realize "wait no super heros are in the show?".

I can (and damn will) hug my son tonight. Adrian Peterson no longer can. There are absolutely no words.

Scans from WWE #1... And I was wrong about the release. It's coming out 12/11/13. I'm so getting this if comicXology is selling it.

Supreme went David Carradine/Michael Hutchence on us.

I was a fuckin' good striker.

I'd like to see TNA combine that demographic that want to see matches stemming from counterfeit jeans rackets gone bad, illegal card games, or miscellanous maritime chicanery, with that pre-teen/twink demographic that like Glee. Guys need to start singing their own entrance music, give it a real West End Story meets Rent vibe, with rival gangs marching to the ring to settle differences with their fists that ultimately get resolved with harmonious words, and maybe a kick line on PPV. Evil Linda Ronstadt, GM would fit in nicely. Have them tackle eating disorders, guys coming out of the closet, maybe even a wrestler with AIDS. I'd like to see wrestling have a Kevin Cooper-like narration over the top of backstage vignettes. "I knew I shouldn't trust Ric Flair, hell, he'd burned me COUNTLESS times, but this time, maybe he had seen the light and needed the Stinger as a partner to tackle The Young Bucks....boy was I in for it later tonight..." Have matches that don't mean shit be sponsored by companies. That British guy and Matt Morgan can fight for the Wendys Xplosion Trophy valued at least $8000. Sponsors, prestige, glamour, guys fighing for something other than whats right. Get rid of titles and replace them with a revolving door of corporate sponsored trophys, cups, ceremonial maces and crowns. The Susan G Komen Trophy holder could come around once a year, you could get mileage out of a heel that pledges to use this trophy, exposure and opportunity to ensure they're all hit by cancer somehow...only to be stopped by a cancer preventing babyface. Pre-tape particular matches that are held in bizarre yet ultimately exotic locations. Blow off feuds on top of volcanos, or a pirate ship, or a spooky video store. Blue screen has not adequately been used in this industry and there is a golden opportunity. Make use of the Sharknado demographic who want to see a real life leper referee a Brazillian street fight. How did TNA fuck this up?

I don't get why people are so hung up on Christian. Nor do I get the love for ADR. He can't possibly be doing THAT much business in Mexico.

The NBA is covering for LeBron right?

There has seldom, if ever, been where "Because that's the way it's always been" has been the answer on the correct side of history.

Yeah but you can't have two Shane's. That's just confusing.

About damn time.

I came out of XBL retirement and joined the DVDVR Crew last night. It's fucking on. I'm on as BankHoldupX, but my character's name is Carl Winslo. Why? Why not.

Karloff? Fuck you!

Any show where the main star or stars are teenagers/young adults gets long in the tooth when they basically have to find excuses to keep the parents involved. Their family was rich so why was Ashley working at a fast food joint? Also, why didn't Will get a basketball scholarship? Also, why the fuck did Nicky go from two months old, to 4 years old for that one episode, to another older kid episodes later? Why the hell were Ashley, Carlton, and Hillary three different skin colors? As a black person, that always bothered me. Actually that last one is hilarious considering they switched out Vivians. Anyway, that show was not great for continuity. No idea why this post caught my attention, but I mean black people can come out looking any kind of way. Phil was light skinned and while Viv was jet black, I could see them having kids that looked that. I look my own brother and I. His skin tone is Carlton tier, I'm pretty close to Hil or Phil's color. If you really want some variance, look at the Cosby show. It was much less believable. Malcolm Jamal Warner and Lisa Bonnet being siblings with Phylicia Rashad and Bill Cosby as their parents? Nah.

I could care less about Sullivan as old man Wyatt. In a just world, Sherri would still be alive to play elderly nun sister Abigail.

Feel sick for so many reasons. Absolute must see in 3D.
