You've made a grave mistake.... ?

That guy looks like he’s tired of his line of work, and would rather be traveling around the country looking for the best diners, drive-ins, and dives.

To be fair, that's a pretty weak comeback.

My favorite wrestlers have always been the ones who make me believe in their character then accurately represent that character in the ring. That's why Flair has always been my favorite along with guys like Savage and many others. I even love me some ole Hacksaw Jim Duggan. A big old country goofball that would give you the shirt off his back but sometimes was a little dumb in the ring. You know who the opposite of that is? Shane O'Mac. I think he's supposed to be legitimate MMA shooter guy, but to me he comes off as middle-aged yarder who has had about one week of actual real pro wrestling training. I think he really might be the worst "wrestler" on the roster.

Amazing pop

Becky is whatever she wants to be. She's that damn good.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!!

Oh, is it Jobber December time? I'm in: And of course, the best of all time:

I know my idea of "Full Heenan" is to actually be entertaining.

You spelled Limp Biscuit wrong. Although to be fair, so did they.

crossover gif from the photo thread:

Mike Bell and his brothers (one of whom had a brief stint in UPW) were the subject of a documentary about steroid abuse (Bigger, Stronger, Faster) or something like that. It was on netflix at some point and is a pretty good watch.

Destiny being Destiny should be what stops you from jumping into the game But seriously - As someone who got in to the first game fairly late - not at all, at least when it comes to the co-op stuff. I found, at least in the first game, most high level players were pretty nice and willing to help drag lower-level guys through stuff (and that's just the random people I would find online - not even to mention the people around here), which ultimately was how I caught up fairly quickly. As for the Crucible - yea, that's going to suck for awhile getting your ass kicked but if you can handle that it's not that bad either.

The smooth dude we all wanted to be. The villain we deserved.

All that baby blue makes you think this is happening in the No Holds Barred Universe.

It's not even just that, the "poor writing" was one problem, though even with Rollins, he manages to try and counter his poor writing. It's just Rollins's fatal flaw that he's trying to be a face of the company and trying to be a firey babyface, yet his very voice and promo style will ALWAYS make any promo, no matter how much fire he has, sound less like "I am the general who's trying to rally you fans to war to lead me to victory!" and more like "I'm the whiny 16-year-old kid who's trying to get his parents to let him borrow the car on Friday night!" Meanwhile, Reigns had all the tools to be the top guy- but he also had the fatal flaw that we're in an era of pro wrestling where WWE themselves have no clue that the fanbase are going to turn on the top babyface in the company, solely because WWE chose this person to be the top babyface in the company. And quite frankly, no matter who you put in charge, it's not going to work simply because you're never going to get 100% approval for anyone, and if you pick someone as the top babyface in the company, then anyone else who has a different horse in the race is going to whine because you didn't pick THEIR platonic ideal for the role. Put all those things together, and Ambrose may be smarter than anyone realizes to be the top guy: He doesn't TRY to be THE MAN, but tries to be a top star. He'll never be pushed as THE MAN (and thus be hated), so he'll always seem a little underutilized because he's not THE MAN (so people will whine he's underutilized). Where Roman tries making himself the consensus best pick as THE MAN, and Rollins tries a little too hard to be THE MAN, Ambrose is sitting here realizing that to be THE MAN, it's no longer about who the best wrestler is, it's no longer about who the vast majority LOVES, but rather to be the person that the most people can LIVE WITH as the top guy. And Ambrose is very good in that role: There's still a lot of weaknesses to him and he's slightly polarizing as a top guy (we've all seen them even here), but by and large, most people can say "Ambrose as the top star? Sure, I can live with that pick."

Stop trying to make me love you, Chargers!

Well, Barry didn't get to the pay windah much, so he got the jacket deeply discounted for having the wrong hand on it.

So, you're the one.

To follow up, Wentz has a fracture in his back, which sucks. But, it gets worse: This... seems like it's going to be a problem.

The only Bobby Heenan that Graves comes anywhere near is when Bobby just didn't give a fuck in WCW. Graves was really good in nxt and for a while after he got called up. Currently, he flat out sucks. Every Monday, I hope the Renee badgering leads to a kick in the balls.

Can he defend Ariana Grande’s honor after Dean Ambrose breaks a uhhhh... Gold MP3(?) over her head?

My favorite part of DC's meteoric fall is that 5 weeks ago, they held a "Native American celebration/blessing" ceremony. They have not won a game since.

I was crying with laughter at THAT botch.

Pick a Five Finger Death Punch cover. Whichever one you chose, it's the right answer

Raven(Scotty The Body) had a match with Misawa too. AJPW Summer Action Series II 1990 - Day 6 1990/08/23 @ Velodrome Parking Lot in Iwaki, Fukushima (Japan) Mitsuharu Misawa defeated Scotty the Body (12 minutes)

What in the blue fuck is that Bono cover, why did you show this to me, I have done nothing wrong

The Gambler is no jobber. Also, Bao Nguyen is a referee for WWE right now as Ryan Tran.

Not in Central States.

Mandalorian has announced more cast, including Pedro Pascal as the title character, plus Carl Weathers, Gina Carano, Giancarlo Esposito and WERNER FUCKING HERZOG.

We would have gotten Russo writing a bit where someone threatens Dynamite Kid with a fistful of quarters though. And then a roll of quarters on a poll match. Tony Schiavone would act like it's fucking murder to use them while Larry Zybisko or someone else shits all over it.

Looks like Hideo Itami still doesn't RESPECT Ali.

Yes and No. You are five seasons behind iand the content grind curve is really steep right now. You should still have a lot of fun doing single player PvE story mode stuff, but the real game begins when you finish that and start doing Strikes and Raids and begin grinding bounties and other side content. As for PvP, the TTK advantage will always go to the tryhards that grind Crucible Pinnacle Weapons quests and have the latest and greatest load-outs, but if you have some passing PvP experience you should be able to hold your own. Gambit is more fun than it should be. Bungie really knocked it out of the park with this game mode.

Since it looks like "Endgame" is the (ironically named) start to Phase IV, I've renamed the thread. Carry on. Natural, I believe you were about to post your 48th meme of the day?

Turn Charlotte heel like she should be. Problem solved, for now.

I would agree, I do think they are running through the steps too quickly. They needed to highlight his assets to the team for a couple of months and set up his fatal flaw of a Napoleonic complex. They shouldn't have had anyone touch him for months and saved the pee pants thing for way down the line if they wanted to do it so badly. They should still be in the Honeymoon phase of having AOP holding people for him to slap and stand over. They're on step 10 already when they should be on step 2.

Yes, that's the same Mickey Jay.

With that cast... baby, you’ve got a stew going!

Didn't want to schill this in the Lucha Underground thread because it would be weird, but if you're in the NY area and listen to my Masks Mats and Mayhem podcast, cohost and good brother Byron is doing stand up in NYC this weekend. Go to the show and tell him the only reason you came is because Casey told you to, then hit him in the genitals somehow

On the plus side, at least he wasn't Ken Raper.

It is; but a lot of businesses would do well to evaluate the bias for the appearance of effort over quality results. This isn't to say Ambrose should be the guy, merely that his lack of superficially fanatical want-to shouldn't be a compelling reason why not, and WWE's brass-ring self-mythologizing is silly.

A World Class film starring McConaughey as Kevin Von Erich(Or maybe one of the fake Von Erich’s to make it more interesting) would be one hell of a pitch.
