I'm a bit late to the party on the whole Miz as champion debate, but I wanted to add a personal story as to why Miz winning the title will always stand out for me. My brother, who was a poster on this board (SgtPepper9876), was intensely anti-Miz. Couldn't stand him I always told him to get used to used to him, because I had a feeling he'd be around awhile, and I was certain that at some point he'd win the WWE championship. This idea was insane to my brother.......he just thought the idea was ludicrous. We would constantly debate it.....more just brothers goofing off and having fun than anything, but also me believing it and him really not being a Miz fan. My brother passed away on November 17th, 2010. His funeral was Monday November 22nd, 2010. I came home that day from the funeral and sat down and watched Raw on the DVR.......I needed to get my mind somewhere else and we both watched Raw religiously on Mondays, so it was a decent way to cope. Well, of course, Monday 11-22-10 was the night Miz won the WWE championship......the night of my brother's funeral....my brother who swore it would never happen. I remember distinctly laughing out loud, saying out loud "Well I'll be goddamned", and then having a decent cry while smiling at the same time. Looking back it's a very surreal and vivid memory.

The worst thing is all the idiots who upload their Smackdown vs Raw versions of this week's matches (but still use a picture of the real match as the video ID). ARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH,

To get a haircut, get a job, and stop asking me to do their compilations for me. Damn kids today.

Oh please fuck off, this new thing/meme of hating on Ryder is awful. The dude was over as fuck at that time and ready for a mid card title run. The guy got over on his own through unconventional ways and should be commended for that. Let's not forget that awful booking put his hot streak to a dead end.

The most annoying thing on the internet is people recording TV on their phones and then uploading it to YouTube. It's why a pathogen that targets low IQs is essential for mankind.

They need to look to the wrestling world for more of their names, instead of the hipster world. More guys called Dick, Buddy and The. Less Seths and Evans. Seth and Evan work in used book stores and listen to Arcade Fire. On vinyl.

WAR wishes it could have had something so random

Thank you, Cody Rhodes. Maybe, one day:

Did the fins pick off your post too?

This is the fucking worst. Yes it is. 100x fucking worse than recording with your phone. Slightly more annoying than matches with action figures. This and people who respond to Gonzalez are my least favorite things about running March Madness.

This is the fucking worst.

Man, I hope so. If only to see the reactions of the over-the-top Davey Richards haters on this board--especially the guy with the "Davey Richards inside a steel Davey Richards" gimmick. Yeah. That dude is an asshole. Fuck whoever said that.

Go fuck yourself WWE.

good god do I miss Trish

The best wedding ever is still Kane and Lita. Good lord, Trish.

FSW, I had to go with the injury dig because I can't make fun of interceptions. Brandon Weeden plays for my team.

It is a terrible idea and has never worked. I can't think of a single time it did not kill a crowd. SES-era Punk teasing Austin's music? Unless Austin came out a minute later and stunnered everyone, it sucked. It borders on false advertising. I don't know what would possess them to do that to their paying customers. Translation: It didn't kill the crowd, so let's move the goalposts again so I can get into my "Stuff I don't like is awful and ultimately leads to the end of everything, and no matter how many times I am wrong about this, I'll keep using WCW as the proof that I'm right regardless of how apt an analogy it is (or generally isn't)" groove.

I'm the exact reverse - I haven't seen anything that supports a single shooter theory.

Yeah - Tampa Bay being pissed people are blowing up the kneel down is rich

And the first twat to achieve it. That would imply TO, Moss, Irvin, Marvin Harrison, Cris Carter and Hines Ward are all not twats

I watched all of King Of The Hill recently and the show really is great. It never hit a true slump that any long run (whether it be TV, Comics or whatevs) does. There were a few occasions where I think the writers took liberties with Hank (which Mike Judge mentioned in a few interviews), but even those episodes are really good. Around season 11/12 you think the show is winding down, then the final season produces an amazing string of episodes.

My favorite movie. I went to see a buddy's play and Rain, one of the Three Storms, was in it. My favorite celebrity encounter since moving to LA. Really nice dude that actually teared up a bit when I said I used to play '3 Storms' in the backyard as a kid with a laundry basket on my head pretending to be him as a kid.

Bayley is awesome. She's like the Diva version of Ricky Steamboat or Ricky Morton, she's so God damn likeable. I think WWE might have something special there.

Sting.

The problem with that is when everyone has odd/unusual names, none of them sticks out anymore.

Merg Turdfuck It's been done before, but who cares? We gotta pick a week where all of us change our user names to one of the names listed in this video.

Also fat guys winning. That's a thing in this list. Cities where fat guys won their first ever title, except L.A..

Absurdist fantasies for brain-addled adolescents?

Also, I have a great idea. Lets cast Kat Dennings and then have her run around in a huge winter jacket the entire film.

I've never seen that and it's pretty great. "DON'T BE PUTTIN' YOUR HANDS ON MY VAN"

Hey, guys, what's going on in this thr...

What stuck out to me about that Nexus angle is Barrett was getting booed out of the buildings. I can't remember the last time someone else was getting that kind of heat. He even got the crowd to get behind Cena. When does that happen?

If there was a Curb Your Enthusiasm like show with Peter Davison, Colin Baker & Sylvester McCoy, I would so watch it. Ricky Gervais would need to do it.

I've always wanted a poster sized autographed copy of this picture:

Yeah that's way worse than four Doinks vs fucking Bastion Booger, Mr Hyperbole

One thing I never understood was the critics, reviewers, and writers saying that Harlem Nights (and to the lesser extent Boomerang) was the first sign that Eddie Murphy's career was going down. I think that goes to Another 48 Hrs. It definitely went to hell with A Distinguished Gentleman. While I was never a big fan of Boomerang outside of Eartha Kitt being outrageous ("Marcus, I'm not wearing any PANTEEES!"), I can remember every scene in Harlem Nights. You can make that argument that he wanted a vehicle for his friends (Arsenio and Miguel Nunez Jr) and Pryor was already sick, but that's what makes me appreciate the movie. Arsenio and Nunez were great in their bit parts. And I think the world was beyond tired of Richard Pryor, probably the greatest standup ever, being in movies where he plays a wacky bus driver/mover and saves his kids/some orphans while doing wacky hijinks going cross country. If anything, Richard's career in film in the 80s ironically was where Eddie's career was headed ten years later. Harlem Nights was the last bit of greatness from Pryor and Redd Foxx, the two reasons why we had Eddie Murphy in the first place. Nowadays if some young hotshot director or young actor wants to recruit Al Pacino and De Niro, it's just downright sad and pathetic. Especially when they're acting from screenplays written by hacks who are best known for doing cookie cutter xXx style, nu-metal action flicks. At least Harlem Nights was in the most natural voice for two of the biggest pioneers in comedy instead some kid and teen audience pandering dialogue.

Well, that settles that.

Every week during that time was the same: the crowd would chant we want Ryder, pop like he was Steve Austin when he came out, and then die as soon as he actually wrestled beyond the boot in the corner. Ryder was probably the worst in ring performer to win in singles belt since WWECW died. The could have booked him like Hogan and the crowd would've stopped giving a shit within two months. He also didn't help himself by whining publicly when things didn't go his way. Really, the only notable thing he did was take that man sized wheelchair bump off the stage.

I think at some point, both defenses decided it was too cold to reach their arms out to tackle.

Just burned through the first 5 episodes. We will see how it ends, but I'd say it's my favorite new show of the year so far. You get that Mad Men vibe a bit, but it's a little more accessible and straight-forward. It was recently renewed for a second season and I fully expect it to turn into a hit at some point. Hopefully by season 2 there will be enough interest here to have its own thread. Both the leads knock it out of the park. Lizzy Caplan is great as usual (I was a big Party Down fan), but Michael Sheen should be jumping straight to the top of the Emmy contenders. He would have my vote if it wasn't for that damn Walter White. Watch this show NOW people! And yes, Bill Masters is truly a piece of work. I think I'm officially on board with this being the best new show of the year. Exempting the final season of BREAKING BAD, which had enough incredible scenes to fill it's own Top 20 list, I think the scene in MASTERS when Mrs. Scully goes for her screening interview to participate in the study might the best scene of the year. The way it starts out humorously awkward (the Provost's wife is having to detail her sex life to one of her husband's employees, who is also a close family friend!) then subtly pivots into sadness as she realizes how abnormally awful her sex life is is just fantastically done and incredibly acted by Allison Janney. But what really puts it over the top is that, like all great shows, it twists the knife at the end, revealing that the whole humiliating ordeal was pointless because she doesn't qualify for the study because she'd never had an orgasm. A wave of devastation swept over me. It was like the Red Wedding but without a single drop of blood. My one complaint right now is that I miss Betty the prostitute. She was great. Maybe she'll break it off with the Pretzel King.

After that feud died down he was definitely ready to step up.

Spurs fan must be six after that

More like the new Master.

Why do I feel that Davey being called Pitbull in any fashion is a direct troll on this board?
