  1. JBL is the wrestler I've probably done the biggest 180 on over the course of my wrestling life. I never thought anything of him as I was growing up and his title run fell super flat for me at the time, especially with Eddie not getting much of a run before hand. I think it was after he came back to the ring after his first stint announcing that I started to like him. Looking back, he was pretty much always good or at least had visible talent. Yeah, he had some super lame gimmicks in the mid 90s, but he was a poor man's Stan Hansen in the ring and usually good for a fired-up promo. He actually had some fun matches with the pre-DX Outlaws and Kai En Tai even before he settled into the Acolytes. That wasn't even a good gimmick for him, but the chemistry with Faarooq was so good, it kept him afloat for years. The title run was jarring due to how fast his gimmick changed and how fast he won the belt, but his match quality went way up as he got to work longer singles matches with high-end wrestlers. Even though he adopted some cowardly heel tactics, his matches were still mostly high-impact brawling. The length of his reign combined with his mostly cheap wins made him the ideal guy for Cena to crush and launch his main event run. Then he spent the rest of his career as the perfect upper midcard heel with his perfected character and polished in-ring skills.

  4. I don't see how anyone thinks Ranallo and his stilted delivery is good. Seems like people over hype any outside hire WWE makes. The guy is not good. No, he's really very, very good. Just give him a chance. Two weeks is not an adequate sample size. I've had the pleasure of listening to his work for NJPW and he's outstanding at calling the match and giving you an incredible amount of back-story without being intrusive. I'd actually go beyond "very, very good" and say the guy is "gifted". The very last thing that the WWE needs to do is curtail him by having an idiot screaming in his ear while he's trying to do his job. Mauro really doesn't require any assistance from VKM in calling matches.

  6. Watching Bo Dallas mugging and looking more like Marco Rubio than ever before I couldn't stop re-imagining the social outcasts as a bunch of primary losers who won't go away. Basically I saw them as: Bo Dallas: Marco Rubio Heath Slater: Jim Webb Curtis Axl: Rick Perry Adam Rose: Zombie Paul Tsongas It then made so much sense when they wouldn't stop taking the mic from each other and even sense more when Hillary The Big Show Clinton chokeslammed Jim Webb and then laid Marco out while he was taking his victory lap while a few holdouts chanted "Please retire!"

  19. The only thing we learned from that segment is that even steroids won't help you with some of those advil like lids The true big story tonight was while you have a match with Mark Henry, Titus O Neil, and R-Truth "keeping the dream live" on Martin Luther King's birthday, the pasty white guy STILL GETS THE PIN. Oh and that Tyler Breeze is going to get all the blame for that botch at the end

  22. They didn't. That's why they sold to the Carter family... there was something about a guy in the office who's job it was to report on PPV buys, and he kept lying and telling them they were selling a lot more than they were, so they thought they were making a profit instead of a huge loss... which somehow kept them alive longer than it should have. But weekly PPV was a doomed concept that failed completely.

  26. Of course my father, the old white guy, has issues with Cam Newton being a hot-dog. This should shock about -8% of reality. He of course never said a word when all our guys jump into the stands or Rodgers does shit, though he does bitch about guys celebrating first-downs. It's a step above the shit he used to yell at the TV when I was younger, I won't repeat that around others.

  27. Why in fucks name are you working so hard to defend this? A: I would be more interested in watching if Scott were playing, yes. Know why? Cause the winner of the 3 on 3 team gets money. To most of the players there it's an inconsequential total. Not for Scott. Someone actually PLAYING HARD in the All-Star game would be incredibly interesting, and it's the main reason nobody gives a fuck about it to begin with. More players coming in to actually play hockey would be outstanding for it. B: He was traded specifically to be waived. Everyone knows it, everyone acknowledges it. If Arizona sent him down, it would be transparent but at least some what understandable. The trade that clearly had the NHL's footprints all over though? That is freaking insane. C: It was Pre set up and encouraged by the NHL specifically to get him out of the All-Star Game. Multiple major hockey writers have said the Coyotes asked him to step down and when he wouldn't, he was traded basically as punishment. That's fucking insanity and terrible. And you defending it is kinda ridiculous.

  28. That just reminded me, Cedar Rapids was a stellar post-2000 comedy. The cast is a murderer's row of talent but Reilly is the ace of the bunch.

  40. Titanic winning sucked. It was a good movie, and it made a buttload of money, but L.A. Confidential was a much better movie, and I think you could make arguments for all of the other three (As Good as it Gets, Good Will Hunting, The Full Monty) being better too.
