I will apologize for two things. One, if this has been posted. Two, if this is too much... but I will say it had me dyin

How Jerry arrived to Raw last night.

LOL

Pet peeve of movie posters: when the actors names do not match their position on the poster.

TOO SOON.

Claudio will eventually turn on Swagger and Coulter and cement his turn by doing a reverse giant swing where he grabs Zeb by the ends of his mustache instead of his legs.

Oh, OF COURSE this is the most reasonable explanation. You may as well have just said, "Whoopsie!" and borrowed a cute animals picture from Dolfan. Well no shit, Sherlock. HOW DARE YOU, JRAQ, YOU FUCK. Well that would have deprived us the hilarity of seeing you talk yourself in circles. Would he? I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have because it was you he spotted doing something particularly ridiculous and saying he would have resolved it in private is wishing this would just go away. You care so little, that's why you've spent this much time defending yourself. Look, I don't have a horse in this race since I'm not playing the picks game, but this is beyond silly and it's funny to watch you twist when you're called out on your hypocrisy and righteous indignation.

And fucking SHOOBABY!

Today's Adventures in Griefing features this Southern asshole who was giving his buddy shit because his buddy had a gay brother. Some of the most unfunny jokes you've ever heard. "Do you think your brother's gayness might have rubbed off on you?" and "I saw this dude looked just like you in Wal-Mart carrying a big-ass bra. Think it might've been your brother?" I noticed he was nearby (Sandy Shores airfield) so I headed over, then ran him over on the runway. He bitched a bit in chat about it while I drove away. Then he said "Oh dayum, a jumbo jet" (it was a Shamal) and headed for that. I came back and threw a sticky bomb on the jet and blew it up. He bitched more. A bit later, he got in a Buzzard and tried to hunt me down. He was using missiles which don't lock on, and he wasn't getting close. Finally, he got low to the ground along the road and flew slowly towards me. By the time he started getting sorta close, he was in rifle range and I gunned him and his other buddy in the chopper down. Since the chopper was so low, it landed safely, and he said (on chat, for everyone to hear) that they should get back in. I put the sticky bomb back on and am halfway to Vinewood by the time he and his buddy have gotten in it. Boom.

Maybe people around here just didn't expect Bryan to be as super uninteresting as the face of the WWE. Are you not overdue for a new gimmick at this point?

You guys, my dog is too cute . As Little Red Riding Hood for the Vet's costume party.

Captain America is still my favorite of the recent Avengers-based flicks. Yes, above Iron Man and Avengers both. It's got the best supporting cast (when's the last time you saw Tommy Lee Jones having this much fun?), the most badass villain, the most astonishing special effects, the best-staged action scenes, the most climactic-feeling final battle, the best score (random new Stephen Sondheim song!), the best blending of Golden, Silver, modern 616, and Ultimate storylines into one seamless package; and it kinda feels like it's trying to Say Something about the world more than the other flicks have tried to. Plus it's a nice feather in the cap of director Joe Johnston, who has spent much of his career cranking out mediocre thrillers which showed promise but ultimately fell flat; not this time. I've become increasingly fond of Django Unchained upon repeat viewings. When I first saw it in the theater I liked it, but thought it felt awfully derivative of Tarantino's other work after the turn of the century. Now, I'm starting to really appreciate the different levels of acting, Tarantino's rather incredibly clever ability to slyly foreshadow a ton of things in rather subtle and sneaky manners, and the great choreography of the action scenes. I've actually been to that place with the stage that lowers out of the ceiling, where the woman is forced to perform that scornful striptease. It's been a dinner theater for the past few decades, Chaffin's Dinner Barn, it's a nice joint. I strongly co-sign all of this. Les Miz for me too; although I'm quite partial to Sweeney Todd, that one doesn't feel quiiiite perfect. Although if we can count West Side Story as "modern", that one might count too. Plus, never forget that all the best animated Disney movies tend to be musicals... I like Rocky Horror, but that one's all about the live experience at the midnight shows. Watching that movie alone by yourself can quickly get pretty tedious. The cheap, slapdash nature of the production starts showing through, with countless little visible mistakes. And if you step back and consider the whole picture, the plot really is a huge bummer with everyone having their lives at least halfway ruined and getting a neutral-at-best ending. Also, I go to school in the town where this and Shock Treatment are both set, Denton TX, which is kinda weird. It's a standard mid-sized college town, you have to drive out a bit to find the kind of bumfuck-east farmland that the movie shows. No castles, either.

I wish they'd come out to Ameeehhhhrriiiicaan Dreeeaaaam. Everyone who is hating on the WWE right now is nuts. THIS HAS BEEN SO GOOD. Orton/Bryan in a HIAC is yet another shot at a MOTY. Their last PPV match was disappointing but it had a crazy cluster finish. Their match on Raw or Smackdown or whenever when Bryan was trying to prove himself was great, if I recall. Orton has been on fire. Bryan has been on fire. HITC matches are almost always great. Bryan's Flying Goat into the side of the cage is already imminent. And so many storylines have been intertwined. We have The Rhodes Family with the belts. The Shield want revenge. The Usos think they deserve the title shot. All six of those guys RULE. We could have a Smackdown Six all over again but within the confines of the bigger picture of HHH's schemes. Miz is far from saddled with The Wyatts. Miz and Kofi usually put me to sleep but they took a good beating last night and made Harper and Rowan look like monsters. Bray Wyatt gets to do his lunatic Koresh stuff as Miz is forced to watch. We have a sadistic maniac with Messiahnic delusions coming after a reality TV star pretty boy. And that's pretty much the least important feud on the roster right now.There's at least one match every Raw that is fantastic. Last night we had three. Seriously, what more do you people want? The show has been so tightly booked and written since SummerSlam. It's what us smarks always said they need to do. And they are.

Man, I thought that Goldust/Cody theme mash-up was terrible. You shouldn't mess with a perfect theme like Goldust's, like that.

I only watched the main event, but I kinda want Sunday for Bryan to be about to win, the lights go out and you hear "We're here" and the Wyatts to be Triple H's last gasp/deal with the devil to keep the title off Bryan. They do so, Triple H turns on The Shield because they couldn't get the job done, we get Shield-Wyatts in 6-mans for a while, until Wyatt Family decides they're bigger than Triple H and turn on him, too, which leads Triple H to have to go to Bryan and bury the hatchet because he needs Bryan to save WWE. I think that'd be a pretty compelling 6 months of TV right there.

Big E Fucking Langston

Some shots from one of my favorite Halloween websites, and a guy who makes absolutely the best Halloween decorations. Just imagine turning a corner and seeing any of these just sitting in an empty field: spoilered for largeness. The website is http://www.pumpkinrot.com/pages/Page46.html

It's insane that I have to do this for a number of reasons, but someone had to do it. Here we go! Last week I was keeping an eye on Burgandy Larue's selections because she is in the lead and it only makes sense to see how your main competition is picking. I remember thinking that I had her beat last week, but when the results came out we ended up with a tie. My suspicions were raised so I decided to take a closer look at her selections this week. Here are Burgandy's picks on Wednesday night at 9:27 PM central time: It seemed at the time like she was simply still making up her mind on quite a few of the picks. Let's see what she ended up deciding! I took this screen shot at 11:59 AM central time on Sunday. There were approximately 20 seconds left on the Redzone Channel's countdown to kickoff. Some good picks in the early games. I especially liked the Chicago pick, but obviously couldn't support the Lions over the Bengals. Seems like a pretty mediocre week, but she does still have a pretty decent lead. How about we take a look at her picks directly before Monday Night Football. How pathetic is that? I guess I would kind of understand if there was something worth cheating for, but she seems to be cheating solely for the pride points it would win her among a group of wrestling nerds. Sad.

So since its pretty clear we are going to get a real Americans/matadores feud coming up pretty soon, I have decided I need to see two things on my TV: Cesaro seeing how far he can throw Torito, and the Matadores bringing in the black sheep of the family, Cassandro, who kisses Zeb during a six man tag.

CM Punk has truly mastered the D.E.N.N.I.S. System.

You know, if you're going to make posts like this, I'm going to ask that you also include a picture of Statler and Waldorf.

Two of my best friends back home in Jersey, Bobby and Erin, who've been together forever and got married a few years back, just had their first child two weeks back.. She's an adorable little thing named Cassidy. She was premature, and just got home from the hospital. Bobby had her room waiting for her.

"The Knee that beat John Cena" and "The dropkick that beat Randy Orton" would be awesome finishers.

Troll 2 is more entertaining than any movie Miz has been in thus far.

I grew up in SoCal so I grew up watching Cal Worthington's spots. His gimmick was that his "dog Spot" was never a dog. It could be a tiger or an elephant or whatever, but never a dog.

Look at it this way - if The Miz is in more shitty movies he'll spend less time crapping up WWE shows.

The Lethal Family sounds like the worst TLC show ever.

No - you have to understand. John Sterling ruins everything.

I just read that Amazon bumped its Super Save shipping from $25 to $35. HELL NO. FUCK THAT.

The reason this thread isn't as long and that "interest is down" is due to the schedule this time of year. We get a PPV every couple of weeks right now, and because of that, it is clear to the audience that Raw is in a holding pattern because the only way to drum up interest in the upcoming PPV is to have events that majorly advance the angle at the PPV. Normally, Raw would be what drives a story forward with the hope that issues are settled at the pay per view. Right now, This pay per view is clearly not a blow off for any feuds, and is just a stepping stone to puss us forward. I think discussion will pick back up then, but right now, we don't really have much to talk about. I mean, how many posts can their be arguing about who is going to turn? I think most everyone is taking the wait and see approach. As for what actually happened on Raw, I think I liked the Bryan/Ambrose match more than most, even if it was a little paint by numbers from both. I think this show was pretty cut and dry in terms of what worked and what didn't. I really liked the Goldust/Cody mash up theme. I also loved JBL suggesting that anonymous was helping Big Show take over the satellite feed. It made me think about Big show wearing a Guy Fawkes mask and his singlet and being quite possibly the least anonymous person ever.

Been rollin' up my sleeves and listening to a lot of metal lately. Here have been some of my favorites:

Not sure if any team worth its salt would trade for AP. His age, injury past, and high asking price will turn off anyone in position to take him. Atlanta, Dallas, and Denver are the only teams I can think of who may be able to use him correctly. Atlanta is tied up with Steven Jackson and backsliding, who knows what Jerrah is doing in Texas, and I don't know if Elway would pull that trade.

or possibly even worse: Or...

Is that Michael Hayes on Keyboard?

Clearly most of us need cheering up:

It's called being from Michigan.

House to Astonish is finally back after taking a few months off for Paul to deal with being a new daddy.

It is nice to have at least one song that no matter how shitty you feel can always make you feel better. Good thing too since it is said in the song.

Also, if you guys weren't aware, I have some inside information about King Shark: He's a SHARK!

freezes during his tied up spot and last three matches of the night go on with him stuck in the ropes, hard cam

What's the cadence on that, exactly? Is it "where's-my-chinesefood-clap-clap-clapclapclap?" It might work better to the tune of "Joe is gonna kill you," but needs another syllable. Maybe "Where's my bourbon chiiiicken?"

WMXXX should just be a 5-hour nostalgia show. Keep all the Miz-level jobbers to a backstage segment with Maria Menounos's stained white pants. Then Hogan can have plenty of time to waddle out and bodyslam the Andre hologram HHH debuted the previous night at the HOF ceremony*. *Andre hologram will only get 5 minutes before the music plays him off the HOF stage** - half of that time will just be the crowd chanting "YOU STILL GOT IT" at the hologram, which will not be a pre-programmed exchange the A.I. can process, so the last 2.5 minutes of its stage time will just be this: **Mick Foley inducting Demolition will be bumped to the internet stream.

I have just realized something amazing. At the start of the game: Franklin is repoing cars for a living. Michael is a bitter, depressed man a bit past his prime who really just wants to have a few drinks and work on his golf game. Trevor is an unhinged maniac. GTA V is about the many gimmicks of Barry Darsow.

"Heartbreak Kid" Lex Luger?

One of my favourite matches ever. Just ridiculously fun and mean and tough and the best. That Vader-Boss match on the show is right neck-and-neck with it for me because there's so much fun shit going on, my (completely imagined) backstory is that Vader and Bossman were drinking buddies and Bossman confided in Vader that he was worried he was going to lose his spot because he couldn't seem to get the crowd's attention and Vader took it upon himself to bump like a madman and do everything he could to make Bossman look like an absolute killer because Vader just flies around the ring, bumps over the barricade, and Bossman never looked better. (I realize his WCW name was The Boss, but that just sounds like Vader fighting Bruce Springsteen, so I'm gonna call him Bossman).
