Personally, it makes me feel fine, flowing through the jasmine in my mind.

I know I'm not alone in this. We all felt great about how WrestleMania 30 played out. Vince had to be dragged kicking and screaming to get the title on Bryan but they did it and it was a tremendous show. We had Bryan as champion. The Shield going strong. Cesaro winning the Andre battle royal which was treated as a big deal. We had Rusev starting up quickly after that. It felt like we were on the cusp of something special. A changing of the guard. That's what makes it more frustrating. I know there's people in the company who know what they're doing. You watch NXT and it's completely different but even if you leave out NXT, RAW puts out some really great angles from time to time also but they blow it every single time.

Haha. I sat next to a kid who was maybe 19 at a ROH show a few months back. He had the old NWA title belt. I was like "Woah, that's cool the classic NWA belt." There was a nameplate on the belt, so I say "I don't remember a nameplate on the belt. Whose name is on that Ric Flair, Harley Race?". The kid goes "Nah, I went old school.......Christian Cage". I literally died a little inside.

WTF does anybody expect? We're in Year 4 of the Authority angle, and the top heel has literally put over one person in all that time. The show is incredibly stale. There's been nothing compelling on the show outside of small bits like The New Day for years, and people can just catch their bits on Youtube. They don't build stars. They don't build matches. They don't build towards PPVs. There's no reason to watch Raw anymore than there is to watch Smackdown.

Flash sale at WWE Shop: 40% off all t-shirts. 20% off all belts if you're one of those dudes I want to punch at shows.

Yeahhhh... I really don't need to spend that money. But fiscal responsibility is booty.

This thread has shown me what my own personal hell is

Who fucking cares who you want to see naked? What is the point of even saying this? 50% of your posts are telling others what they should be posting.

It's crazy to think that if WCW went out of business 5 years earlier it would've been "The fans want Austin? Fuck em, they'll get Wildman Marc Mero"

Actual piece of advice given to an employee today: "Stop getting hit by cars."

A New York franchise up 3-0 in the LCS, and on the road against a continual bridesmaid franchise? What could possibly go wrong?

That's why I stopped watching. I figure it's just more healthy to not keep tuning in to something that just gets my hopes up then pisses me off. Legit makes me feel stupid for being invested in the company for so long. I think WM was the last straw because of the whole retcon nature of the Sting/HHH match. Like "Hey man all this shit you watched and remember like a fucking elephant doesn't matter. Suck our dicks" Lucha Underground is my promotion now so I'm really fucking glad it's back

One of us... one of us... one of us...

I've seen this place sour on Daniel Bryan, and there's the suggestion in "Movies & TV" that Guillermo del Toro is not a good director ... We're in bizarro land tonight Maggle! Or ... people just like different things.

Hence those glorious ratings.

Apparently Sensational Sherri and Col. Robert Parker are in the game as managers.

Why should the Redskins start telling the truth about anything now?

...it really doesn't

At least it's a feud he can win.

This is the Disney Juggernaut pushing a Star Wars film. This isn't Tomorrowland or John Carter, this is Star Wars. Biggest money maker in the history of ever.

NO SHES NOT

Look everyone, it's Tyler...trading wins with fucking Stardust on Superstars every week.

RAW is so stale. I wish they would change everything up. Visuals, commentary, everything. Go back to doing a Nitro-style set. Move the Titantron somewhere different in the arena or make it multiple screens all banded together instead of one big complete screen, like the board for the New Press Your Luck from a few years ago. Dump Cole, dump JBL. Stop micromanaging EVERY damn thing the commentators say. Dump the scripted promos. Stop making everyone wrestle to the hard camera. Stop shaking the camera to simulate impact. Maybe use some things like that sky camera/over the corner camera that WCW used on the first Souled Out. Change the color of the ring ropes. Use the video boards around the ring in an interesting way. Modify WWE style to allow for different regional styles to shine through. Allow secondary finishers to finish matches in order to increase the unpredictability of match finishes. Try more finishes besides "clean/DQ/countout," maybe the occasional draw, KO, or ref stoppage. Start shows with competitive matches that don't advance storylines. Start shows in media res occasionally, as Nitro once did. Use rankings to organize possible contenders; don't be a slave to them, but the WWE Top 25 rankings on WWE.com should be shown from week to week. Do more "from the control center" type summations for upcoming shows like NXT has started to do again. Do more random tournaments like KotR or hell, do a G1-style tournament. Again, NXT did the Dusty Rhodes Memorial Tag Team Classic, and it was an awesome switch-up. Actually have things happen on Superstars or Main Event that are referenced on RAW, but that you must get the Network to see in full, and vice versa. Don't make every entrance song either a shitty nu-metal or questionable CFO$ song and actually get some variety because people listen to rap and even country too, damn. Or they could go nuts and do some crazy shit like that WCW: Lockdown idea that I read about so many years ago, which honestly, I am intrigued by even though I know that it's not a good idea. That might actually solve all their problems! (No, it wouldn't.)

Carlito's most memorable moment was standing there like a whipped puppy while Ric Flair lit into him for being unmotivated.

I don't think he's cool enough to like those movies. He probably thinks they're "the ones with Freddy" like someone's grandma would and shit I can't fucking wait for the game though, horrid voice acting aside

I'd love to give New Day some of my money, but it's not worth people thinking I'm a brony.

Gun to my head, Mayweather dances around and wins on points would be my bet.

Since it's way too early to start the thread already - Chris Rock will be hosting the Oscars

There are so many things which I simply do not understand about you, nate. So many things... I caught the recent release The Final Girls, which was pretty cute. Weird to see Alia Shawkat in any kind of a horror film at all. The premise of the film is basically Last Action Hero except with an 80s slasher flick, having a bunch of modern-day teenagers getting sucked into a horror movie. Some people have given this one a lot of grief for being PG-13, claiming it's too tame; but if you remember how little gore that most 80s slasher flicks actually had (the MPAA was a harsh mistress back then), this one is about the same level of overall bloodiness.

Congrats, he'll lead the brand into the future... So ... to the end of the week, eh?

I don't even mind her as a worker, frankly, but if you never ever listen to your audience when they want something besides what you want them to want, you're WCW. We all saw that movie... Don't say WCW and movie in the same sentence, Vince might hear you and think you want a movie star as World Champion. If it means a WWE version of Ready to Rumble count me in.

What is RAW's absolute bottom? Like if Vince just aired 3 NXT episodes in that time slot, what would happen? Viewership would double because fuck you NXT is awesome.

The hour long 30 for 30 basically conveyed Du Pont's craziness way better than the movie did. Until you actually see this fucker think he is a world class athlete despite having the body of someone with full blown AIDS, you don't know how much of a lunatic he was. The 911 call was just soul crushing though.

This movie is undoubtedly going to make big money, but just remember, members of this community said Guardians of the Galaxy would bomb and Need for Speed would make more money.

Never forgot. Ohio is the state that inspires more of its native sons to literally leave the fucking planet than the entire rest of the country combined.

The Irish whip is stupid. Why don't they just stop running?

Rowan recruited Baguette Steampipe. Hey look at my face, you like this sheep mask? Look in your closet, there's one for you. Don't like it? Neither do I! ...Get the hell out of here! Ever see a guy say goodbye to a mask?

I picked up Gat Out of Hell during last weekend's PSN flash sale. It was ok, not much actual content - I got through it in about 3 hours and that was with doing a lot of the side stuff. I think I'm done with the sci-fi/superhero direction the series has gone, though. Just go back to Saint's Row 2 style, a more over the top GTA with online coop story mission mode and I'll be in. I don't need to fly around a boring city picking up orbs. Still playing through Wolfenstein: The Old Blood. A little too stealthy for me, but it's still decent.

Who fucking cares who you want to see naked? What is the point of even saying this?

RISE ABOVE RED TAPE

That shouldn't make me as happy as it does but here we are

Thor and Doctor Jones has been stuck in my head since monday night.

One of the better "feuding foes turns tag champs" angles they've done

Gotta pick your spots, son. Y'all are burning through your likes like the Young Bucks. A buncha like-monkeys. Speaking of words white folks should be careful of...

Let's see here.... FInal Fantasy X - Otherworld Chaos Theory - Ruthless Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core - The Summoned (an awesome remake of "Those Who Fight Further") Devil May Cry 4 - Forza Del Destino
