I hope you find a good home.

Guys, if you feel the magic of Dean Ambrose in your heart, you don't need to conjecture about lock-picking or secret helpers or trap doors or how comfortable moving around inside a heating duct Dean may or may not be. What you know in your heart is that whenever you see an upside down box, an overturned crate, a barrel missing its lid, or a sideways refrigerator with a door attached by one hinge...you know that if you close your eyes and whisper "He's not dead. And he's not satisfied. He's not dead. And he's not satisfied." Dean Ambrose will be under there. Now, that doesn't mean he's going to help you, like with the bullies who are chasing you or something. More than likely he will just jump out and immediately run toward the nearest moving car and try to jump into its trunk. And if you have any luggage, he'll grab that and throw it as far as he can. He doesn't like luggage. But he'll be there. And that's what Kane didn't realize when he set that upside down box over those cinder blocks. He didn't count on that one kid in the front row closing his eyes and whispering "He's not dead. And he's not satisfied."

For their sake, they better be careful celebrating that fact.

The great thing about Rollins' character right now is that he's so fucking dumb. But he thinks he's the architect, this super smart guy. And it seems like he thinks that just because the announcers started calling him that. Like, in a shoot way...the fake announcers had to create this fake image for him so he had a role in the Shield. But it was fake. We all saw that. It sort of came out of nowhere, It was marketing bullshit. And now, in this strange way. That fakeness is real. Because Rollins "the character" is the only one who bought the fake marketing idea of "the Architect." And so he struts around making these plans, like Kevin Kline in A FISH CALLED WANDA and Hunter sort of rolls his eyes and we everyone else can see he's a fucking idiot. Everyone but him. And so when he sets up some cunning plan, and five minutes later, he's running from someone trying to hide in a locker or a dumpster because it went so wrong....it makes sense.

"Damn it Steve, it's an upper body business"

Gregg, this has been explained to you. The reason why it matters whether WM 31 was the culmination of a year of brilliant booking or a result of Creative being backed into a corner after the fans violently rejected THEIR preferred storyline is because THE PEOPLE WHO BOOKED IT ARE STILL THE FUCKING BOOKERS. If someone was going to serve you a shit sandwich and he only ended up giving you a steak cuz you told him how to cook it and explained that you wouldn't be eating any more shit sandwiches, this is not a person you then suddenly trust to cater your wedding.

Yes. Wrestling IS fun. I really wish people like us -- who LOVE wrestling more than anything else, pretty much -- would stop playing armchair booker and doing Vince McMahon co-splay and just enjoy this stuff as much as possible. The WWE has continued to have so many great matches. They have so many awesome characters. I don't pretend to know what's "best for business" or who is getting buried and the like. Legit, if a wrestling fan didn't care about the backstage noise and gossip and didn't know it existed and watched the Daniel Bryan Saga from SummerSlam-to-WrestleMania, that storyline is pretty much flawless and the best. The ball kept getting taken away from the people's hero (and the hero the current nerdy-dude ComicCon fanbase can relate to more than anyone else) by the evil corporate masterminds who want their chosen guys to be the face of the company. Bryan got sidetracked along the way by the rising evil cult leader who said Bryan should enter the darkside in order to learn how to get what he wants, before finding a way to counter his ploy (despite a shocking Royal Rumble loss). He then figured out a way to corner The Authority on his own terms -- by having civil disobedience, and eventually winning the big strap. Along the way, it gave us a terrific series of matches (Bray/Bryan, the Elimination Chamber, about 50,000,000 other things I'm forgetting) and moments (Bryan ending Raw on top of the cage, the Occupy moment, the SuperDome all doing The Yes! chant, etc.). That's awesome. But instead, we get so focused on the supposed machinations of backstage gossip. Why? Who gives a crap? What's the benefit of knowing 9th hand rumors?

Dean Ambrose would probably counter Rollins' Reality Bus Tour by going on the BangBus.

Were there that many hairy jobbers available in '95?

He's not dead. And he's not satisfied. But she is.

This I can see. This, I cannot. William Marshall was a very handsome man, Michael PS Hayes always looked like a gross sleazebag. And here is something I found attached to the Blacula photos to keep any of you, male or female, from ever thinking about Dok Hendrix tonight. Fuck the off-topic and damn the torpedoes, it's Pam Grier

It's his way of saying hey to Carol Burnett's grandma.

Yes he's beating his wife and talking about it on his podcast, you dope.

Man there are some miserable folks watching wrestling. It was a fun show. Could've been better, but whatever.

James Harrison has come out of retirement and signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers. In celebration, the National Football League has fined James Harrison $25,000.

Creep

Ambrose was high on PCP. He ripped the door off it's hinges and chewed the faces off the indy wrestlers guarding the door.

And Smackdown is a PG show

Watching Raw it occurred to me that Adam Rose should have been the Nigel Tufnel of 3MB. "This bunny is cool because he goes up to 11"

No because all those guys had great characters and took part in amazing angles. Why should I care about Cesaro, Sheamus, Ziggler, Usos, Reigns etc etc? I'm not bitching about people's placement on the card I'm bitching about the WWE being too lazy to give me a reason to care about two guys fighting for 15 minutes on every show.

England has seen enough bad football from Manchester United already this year, do we need to punish them even more?

Nikki's ass attack almost makes sense given that she took time in a promo at some point in the last couple weeks to call attention to her voluptuous derrière (her words, not mine; don't shoot the messenger, I generally keep my perving to myself). Almost. It's actually light years away from amazing. When a guy gets hot, he rises up the card. When he rises up the card, perennial headliner and face of the business John Cena will be there waiting for him. Some guys stay at the top of the card. Some guys drop back down. It's the name of the game. But the conspiracy theory put forth by so many that Cena gets in the orbit of these guys so he can leach their heat and cast them aside never rang true to me. Cena's been cool with the mixed reactions for years and knows his place is safe. The idea that he's so insecure that he'd try to sabotage the Zack Ryders of the world is absurd. I got many a laugh last year when people pulled out the mental gymnastics to explain how Cena saving Bryan from the wrath of Ryback is akin to a burial (after Bryan's third match of the night no less).

Ah, so now the meme is Steve Williams wasn't strong. Gotcha.

John Cena is Optimus Prime and Ambrose is Grimlock. Brock is that giant planet eating thing from the movie.

While I don't disagree, it's could be because it's a crotch-grip thrust into a steel fence. Sure, it may not really "hurt", but you can't deny it's intent and mental anguish upon the recipient of such maneuver.

Goldust's original entrance was to feature two bears as well. True story, per Meltzer.

Whose idea was it to put him in there? Yeah. Guys....Dean's fucking Stephanie. There's your WM angle.

Hah this guy reads books

Consider these your only warning on the matter If you are asked by an admin/mod to do something... do so. Don't act surprised when you are suspended/banned for not listening. This website and message board have been around for 15+ years and has been through several incarnations. Many of us are way older and we have attracted a newer auidence (somehow). If you can not accept things have changed - find somewhere else to post. We have a standing policy that if you post "goodbye" posts we would help you stick to your guns and ban you. The same now applies if you bitch about how much you hate it here. It definitely is you... not us. There is a new wonderful bit where people love to say amazingly douchey things to me on places like Twitter and Facebook. If I figure out what your board name is - you are banned. (Not to mention blocked on said social media.)

I played myself through the entire story, completed all the raids and strikes short of VoG, played in the crucible, was level 24, and didn't get a SINGLE piece of legendary anything until Sunday when I started farming the treasure cave.

It must be really bad if they're throwing a company that hasn't made the game in two years and is out of business under the bus

Got a traffic ticket a few months back (right before my birthday, actually). The policeman who issued the ticket wrote the wrong year on it - 2013 instead of 2014. People told me to show up in court and fight it or whatever, but that seemed like a lot of effort, and you can just pay it online, so I paid it. They refunded my payment today.

Yeah I am not sure how I feel about some character on the Howard Stern show getting mentioned on RAW but the son of William Moody/Paul Pearer is ignored. Don't really get why he is being memorialized by all these companies. WWE could at least have Kane mention that his half brother passed away. It was never established in WWE kayfabe land that Paul Bearer didn't have other children. No.

I'm always bothered when Meltzer verbally fellates Doc, using this spot as proof of his strength. It's like Dave's such a mark for Doc or maybe for strength and fitness that he forgets it's a cooperative spot. Sure, Doc is strong, but Gordy is doing half the work there. I was actually there in person, not far from the ring, and I can tell you it looked phony as fuck, and really dumb from a "how is that supposed to hurt?" perspective. I said something similar when Brock gave Mark Henry the F5 earlier this year. Brock was impressive as hell for getting him up like it was nothing- but Mark was just as impressive by going up for it light as a feather. That said, multiple reps into the roof of a cage will never not look impressive as hell. Sure it's a cooperative spot, but so is everything else in wrestling. Just sit back and dig the visual.

One other thing. I know the movies and TV shows aren't supposed to line up (for some reason), but in what year is Gotham set? If memory serves, cell phones didn't become widely used until the turn of the millennium. Will this Bruce Wayne's first Batmobile be a hovercar?

Ratings wouldn't crater so bad if the dipshits at national outlets like, I dunno, the four letter network maybe featured the Pirates, KC, Oakland, etc instead of carrying installment #445 of Red Sox-Yankees or the gazillionth Derek Jeter Greatest Human In Humanity night on their national telecasts. It's the Tiger Woods Syndrome...you teach tv audiences to only pay attention to these guys over here and ratings tank when those guys flame out. Say what you will about football but their rules about x number of national games per team and/or every team needing at least one prime time game is something the doofs at MLB should learn from. Sorry for the rant but national baseball coverage is a major pet peeve of mine.

I'm more impressed that Terry is doing push-ups while being held aloft by Doc.

This reminds me of George's explanation of Kramer's J. Peterman Reality Tour.

BTW - I am amused that you will be closer to the Fins game then you normally would. God - Roger Goodell might be trying to kill the idea of a London franchise. HERE GOOD PEOPLE OF THE UK! SUFFER THROUGH THE RAIDERS/FINS!

The security guards were played by indy wrestlers, weren't they? Ambrose probably just walked out when the guards got distracted and went to practice their flips.

Highlight of the night...Burke gets 2 kills with one rocket from the jet. 2 individuals in 2 different cars I might add. The individuals were Robert and myself. The mission was topfun II. One of the coolest things I've seen. Glad I could be part of it. Just wish I was wearin the boot instead of having the busted and sore ass.

I love the mutiny arc in the middle of season IV, but after that I think the show really limps to a finish. Seasons 1 and 2 are so fucking great though.

They should have shocked the shit out of everyone and had Bruce get killed too. The whole Batman saga was just a dying fantasy of a kid. No superhero with badass gadgets and unlimited resources is coming to rescue Gotham, so it's up to Gordon and the rest of the cops.

Ambrose might be part of the Taker family. I'm sure he doesn't know who his father is.

Vince and Kevin Dunn are like FUCK YEAH KIIIIIID ROOOOOOCKKKKKK (and jerkin' it)
