"Let's See Where this Goes" has been a calling card for about 2 years now, and so far where it goes is "to shit"

You idiots are just seeing things. Like we would forget to make our six month payment and let the spam-filter shut off. We like to bait the Russians into spamming us so we dismantle Boris and his fancy purse sales MANUALLY WITH STRONG AMERICAN HANDS! Get back to work or masturbating or whatever it is you do over there and quit bothering us with your imaginary board problems! GO SCREW! Dean Henry Rasmussen, The Most important Man On Earth.

From two days ago: YEEEEEAH, BROTHER!!! Me an RoVert KNEW!!!

In Russia, new japan watches you.

And also maybe sell someone's submission hold

Fire and wind come from the sky, from the gods of the sky. But Brock is your god, Dean and he lives in the earth. Once, giants lived in the Earth, Dean. And in the darkness of chaos, they fooled Brock, and they took from him the enigma of steel. Brock was angered. And the Earth shook. Fire and wind struck down these giants, and they threw their bodies into the waters, but in their rage, the writers forgot the secret of steel and left it on the battlefield. We who found it are just jobbers. Not main eventers. Not JTTSs. Just jobbers. The secret of steel has always carried with it a mystery. You must learn its riddle, Dean. You must learn its discipline. For no one - no one in this world can you trust. Not faces, not heels, not part timers who just work one show a year. [Points to steel chair] This you can trust.

If you need more proof how awesome Kevin Owens is, go to 1:30 of this video. Owens knows how to work heel better than just about everyone else on the roster.

I think Trips is an evil mastermind who is hoping that the crowd chanting "NXT" the entire main event of wrestlemania will put pressure on making him the booker for the main show. Cause that shit is going to fucking happen.

I now have a fiancée, so that's pretty neat.

"Your hometown likes me more than you!" I love Kevin Owens.

Why shouldn't they want to cheer HHH? He's the champ, he runs the company, and he gives them NXT. People like winners. What I'm understanding here is that HHH is a winner, while Reigns just tries his best. Well, Triple H does go home and fuck the prom queen.

Guys, what could be in that lockbox that is so much worse than the stuff we already publicly know about Vince McMahon? My theory:

Why would a blackmailer agree to fight someone as a stipulation of being able to blackmail someone? WHY!!<!>!>!>!>!>!>!>!> The whole reason you blackmail someone is because you don't want to do anything to earn stuff. It's, like A HUGE PART OF THE GIG!!!

I'm skipping ahead from page 3 to get this out there. Rollins/HHH would be about 10 times the program Roman/HHH is. As in, it actually makes sense. Cocky heel protege wants to be the man, sells out to win title, is treated like a glorified lackey for months, turns face and wins title the right way. That's a WM story. The idea that the authority doesn't want Roman on top is so contrived because everyone knows the exact opposite is true. It's clear that some people think the Roman hate is all booking and, it mostly is, but it's also that he still isn't that good. It's amazing how some of you are overrating him. He's put in more positions to succeed in the ring than anyone else on the roster and the results are still meh. He can put together a decent to good match with pretty much everyone in the main event scene, but he can't call a damn audible to save his life. Why are you shaking the ring ropes and doing feed off the crowd spots when the crowd is completely shitting on you? Also, he isn't physically charismatic in the way you need to be if you can't talk. It all seems so contrived.

impossibly late on this, but finally got around to watching Straight Outta Compton. fucking amazing. a billion jillion stars.

Unintentional, right...

This is a blatant piggyback off of the "Great characters in bad movies" thread, but when I was trying to think of some, all I could harken back to was some of my all time favorite performances. One in particular. Norman Stansfield(Gary Oldman) in the Professional. This performance alone has made me a fan of Oldman for life, and consequently, has made me hate the Academy, as he has never won one, albeit they are watered down pandering as of late.

Ambrose will never die. He'll just teeter at the edge of death then "shittily" rebound clothesline his way back to life.

One of the new people on my team, asked how his day has gone, described it as "a very long waking-up process". I said, "Speaking of that, when you come to work, please remember to wear pants." Swear to God: He looked.

I don't know why my mind immediately went to this guy but yeah.

Glasses? ; ). In my mind she's fan girling out and replaced triple h with nakamura on all her computer backgrounds.

Meltzer did indeed say last night that they scrapped Bray interfering and the plan is Brock/Dean

Poor WWE Universe. One day they'll learn to cheer for who Vince wants you to cheer for.

Danny Ainge is like that dude in your fantasy league who is like 'hey I see you're WR got hurt. Why don't you give me both you're RBs for these two randoms I got off the waiver wire thirty seconds ago'.

His spot should have been facing Rusev for the US title last year; not rushed into the main event.

I see no universe where that's not a kadrillion times better than Reigns/Trips.

I'm not bothered by the fact that Reigns won so much as bothered by the fact he effectively no-sold the Kimura Lock and three chairshots to deliver a spear 10 seconds later. Whereas at the same time Brock, who has been booked like The Incredible Hulk for the last 2 years plus, sold three chairshots like a hand grenade exploded in his shorts.

If you're going to be upset, save it for the Wyatt Family. Good Lord.

two gaming moments accomplished this week. 1: beat Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword for the Wii. took around 40 hours and almost exactly one month. fun game. it doesn't seem to be anybody's favorite, but i really liked the art style and the characters. 2: completed my US Virtual Boy collection. i know it's only 14 games, but i still think it's cool to have them all.

Happy birthday to Freaks, released today in 1932.

It's just a great narrative! The good guy wins, fans go home happy!

Let it play out and see where it goes.

Do you guys think this whole Shane stuff is so that they have a kayfabe reason to split the brands again?

So, basically, they went down the list of Available Attitude Era Nostalgia Acts and made it all the way down to "Shane falls from a great height" before they found someone who would say yes.

I'd watch 20 Godfather/Kama/Papa Shango matches , before I'd willingly watch one Pedro Morales match.

Is my Ukrainian new wife going to disappear with my money again?

Well, TBH both of those movies fail so much in their quest to indict society at large that the movies end up celebrating the sadism of the anti-heroes we are supposed to sympathize with and ends up making them even more loathsome. Clockwork Orange fails at being Kafka because Alex deserves to get what's coming to him and it fails at being Orwellian because there is not much socio-political merit to this tale. Or as Roger Ebert so succinctly put it: I feel like Ebert is missing the point of both the movie and book. The violent, powerful energy of youth is both a kind of perfection (the strongest, fastest, most energetic and frenetic you will ever be) but also ugly and irrational and uncontrollable and brutal. A glimpse of our purest (or at least most physically powerful) selves unconstrained and free. The mechanisms of soceity needed to control that are equally ugly and repressive. Limiting on freedom and generating a bureaucracy of banal evils. But it is also on some level necessary to contain how that unfettered strength and freedom spills out. You're supposed to not know who to root for because neither are purely good or purely evil. They are just natural things that grow out of conscious beings living in a group.

Speaking of that - it means someone has seen Damien O'Connor and now I am excited about him being signed next

As a giant Wyatt fan, them jobbing to Kane, Big Show, and Ryback at the same PPV (not technically, but you know) that they beat the Shield two years ago just makes me incredibly sad.

When Naomi pulled Sasha of the apron right when she was about to get the hot tag and then Tamina immediately threw Becky out of the ring that place should have been molten. Fuck that crowd.

The wrestlers, hopefully.

Yes, I thought of more... This was played quite often back in the day... And don't forget Satan...

I would seriously pay like triple for my Network subscription if it was just NXT house shows

More... Before this song was co-opted by people who never understood what the lyrics actually said or meant, this was a thing... The masters... I'm hooked on ellipsis tonight... The original story songwriter for me... I'll stop here, as I can't type through the tears...

Odessa said some really awful stuff about the 96 dead Liverpool supporters and FSW never forgot it. He did it again when FSW was on thin ice and FSW let him have it leading to the ban. I didn't like any of that.
