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!

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.

Mad Men, Monsters and Freaks hosted by Kane from the set of See No Evil 2 (or 3, or 4) and starring George Steele, Kamala, Kabuki, King Kong Bundy, One Man Gang, Missing Link, Moondogs, Papa Shango, Bastion Booger, Goldust, Mankind, Kane, Umaga, Boogeyman, Kevin Thorn & Ariel, etc. Samoans documentary/matches would be amazing as well.

More faces that are in jobber mode could learn from that.So what's the point when no gives a shit about you? People for a few years now have been proclaiming that ADR is 'great worker' but I don't see how when he can't sustain any interest.. And he is one of the few guys on the roster who didn't waste time jobbing to much, much less nteresting people. Then again, my biggest gripe with WWE tv is how they don't seem to give a shit that more than 80% of their roster can't move a crowd even if they started shooting rounds off before their matches.He sustains my interest. I'm somebody. Character/story wise, I think he cuts a good promo, but he's often in a position where he has nothing to do outside of cutting variations of the same promo. He's a better wrestler than most of the roster but he's rarely spoken about with reverance by people higher up the food chain. Triple H doesn't care about having Del Rio on his side. CM Punk doesn't care about beating him for the title. The belt he holds has no real perceived value, so no one really has a reason to go after him, unless the writers give him a good story. And he doean't have one. That's why he's getting Khali - because who cares?I watch WWE differently. I don't watch whole episodes and get filled in on stories from here or vid packages on PPVS. So my stake in a match is different than people who actually go through the arduous task of watching 8 hours of WWE a week. I'm not overexposed to certain guys, or trained to not give a shit about people yet, because I only watch a handful of matches a month. But Del Rio is fucking good in the ring, because of what I outlined and that's all that matters to me. Whether or not the crowd'a care is irrelevant.

Del Rio is one of my favorite in-ring guys to watch, but I do agree there is nothing to pair with it. From bell to bell, he's excellent, and before and the bell he's dull as dishwater. Christian, in the meantime, is pure liquid awesome.

Supreme went David Carradine/Michael Hutchence on us.

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.

Jury duty, Freebird Style:

About damn time.

I can't believe I'm cheering on Yankees West Version 1A, I guess the Angels are 1B. Also, this: Why Your Cardinals Suck In short, they're the Cardinals.

I think the issue is that it's too many episodes.

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.

Meltzer's a rube. The yak match probably wasn't even 4 minutes long without intros and Eva Marie was maybe in it for half and Fox was probably in there against her as much as the other two. It was just Total Divas fodder and they'll just edit what they need out of it. Really, just seemed like any typical Divas tag match on Raw. And Cena's just back so WWE can cure more cancer than they did last year.

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

Roseanne, prior to the lottery nonsense, might be the most realistic sitcom ever. There was little of the screwball nonsense you see in other sitcoms or super-contrived situations. The characters weren't the typical "bumbling dad" stereotypes. The characters went through real issues, they were handled in a realistic way, and the people involved weren't perfect. And it was RIOTOUSLY funny for several years. Great show. I still can't believe I hated it when it first aired.
