  1. Your spoilered thing made me think of something...And I really hope they don't do this, but..
  2. He was involved in one of my favorite MMA moments where did brief moment, it looked like he straight up murdered Fedor. RIP Kevin
  3. No, that's what we thought too. So many little things in this movie. Like, when Deadpool is trying to track down guys to lead him to Francis, and his stabbing those pictures on his bulletin board, eventually, you see that Deadpool has put a hand-drawn crown of dicks on Francis' head.
  4. Shit, I missed that. Yeah...how is Sampson above Dolph?
  5. What did Tyler Breeze do of note in NXT? I can't even remember, beyond the Liger match. He had the Itami matches, which I suppose were good, but to rank him above Baron Corbin? Samoa Joe? Bray Wyatt? As for Neville, I maybe mixing up my years, but I don't think he had that outstanding of a year outside of his run as NXT champ, which I thought was just a little bit into this voting period.
  6. Wow. That was really fucking funny and good. Holy shit.
  7. I appreciate your explanation, so don't take my abbreviated quote above to mean that I don't or didn't read it. It's abundantly clear you feel strongly about that match and see things in it that you either refuse/don't want to see in the Bayley/Sasha matches. That's fine. This is the subjective nature of things. And if you're going to throw down the gauntlet, don't whine when someone actually asks you to back that up. As for Sasha vs Charlotte, I already disqualified that from this particular conversation because it was a match that I personally dug the hell out of because of how heated it was so I'm not sure why you're hanging onto that so much when the clearer point of contention was the Sasha/Becky match vs the Sasha/Bayley match. You stated your case for the one, so I appreciate that. Also, please don't assume that everyone reads every single thing on this board. I have never once stepped into any of the MOTY threads. Why? Because I already have what my own favorite match of the year is and that's good enough for me, at least when it comes to WWE. I don't really want to take part in a pissing match for something that isn't going to enhance how much I enjoyed something. If there was a particular discussion in there, you could have just linked to it and that would also have sufficed. As it is though, at least it's something to fall back on when the time comes for needing ammunition when debating one wrestler vs. another. I would for sure link back to what you wrote back it was impassioned and well said. EDIT: Cleaned up a few things and tried to make it clear I thanked El Dragon.
  8. Going to see it at 7. I remain cautiously optimistic it will be better than it's ad campaign, which is maybe the best I've ever seen.
  9. Also, when I went through my list, I thought that there might not be enough to fill it out so Becky may actually belong in there. Even thinking about Kofi got me wondering if Becky should be seeded higher than him.
  10. Dude, what? So tell me, what is the argument to put Sasha vs Becky over either Sasha vs Bayley match, or hell, that wicked match between Sasha and Charlotte where Sasha ripped out Charlotte's weave? Wait, what? Are we suddenly retconning that everyone fucking loved Sasha/Becky to the point were there were legitimate MOTY talks, and that it still was almost unanimously put in the WWE's top 5 matches of 2015 on this board? And really, the Charlotte/Sasha match on that level? You are the first I've ever seen put it there. Ok, stop.You said there is a perfectly good argument that Sasha's best match was against Becky, that not everyone would agree, and it wasn't outlandish. I asked you to give me what this argument is for Sasha vs Becky being better than either Sasha vs Bayley match and threw in Sasha vs Charlotte because there was hate in that match that totally pleased me. The crux of the request is though, what is the argument. I didn't ask you to come back to me with claims of retconning anything or what this board voted as MOTY. I'm asking you what the argument is. Don't make the claim and then beg off if you're challenged to present it.
  11. Dude, what? So tell me, what is the argument to put Sasha vs Becky over either Sasha vs Bayley match, or hell, that wicked match between Sasha and Charlotte where Sasha ripped out Charlotte's weave?
  12. Oh jesus, that tired "rehearsal" argument. Can we move on past that because we've thoroughly debunked it.
  13. Sasha was out for a bit, but everything Sasha did in NXT vastly outshines anything Becky has done. I would take 4 or 5 months of Sasha in NXT over an entire year of Becky on the main roster.
  14. Bayley and Sasha I would nominate because they were two of the most electrifying performers in wrestling last year. Charlotte and Becky are good, but they aren't at Bayley and Sasha's level. I'd also leave Emma out because while her heel character is fun, she didn't turn it up until the last couple months. They get outclassed by others deserving of a spot. Kofi is another guy who should be in it. I never thought I would like Kofi as much as I do, but he's shined brightly on the mic and in the ring with the New Day. His star shines even brighter because it's pretty clear Big E and Xavier are trying to get him over a ton. For other NXT guys, I really think Corbin and Joe belong. I'm leaving out Finn because he's been spinning his wheels for the last 3 or 4 months and hasn't done much to separate himself from his formula. I'm leaving out other guys like Gable too because I think their year is next year. And if mic work alone got you in, then Enzo deserves a spot since I don't think there's anyone better than him on the stick, but in terms of what he does in ring, it's not close to the growth and work from Corbin or the resurgence of Joe. Other main roster WWE guys that should be in would be Brock, Roman, Cena, Rusev and Owens. This is all very chalk, but they were all outstanding this year. I kind of want to include Ambrose, but he's so goddamn hit or miss in the ring and I'm high off of the stuff he was doing on Monday.
  15. I would go Kofi over Big E. There's also no Rusev on that list.
  16. Homer opinion, but I could see Lucas Oil Stadium in Indy hosting it as well. Indy would certainly welcome the business and the city is spread out enough so it wouldn't be such a traffic and lodging nightmare.
  17. I'm watching that trailer, and I liked the beginning, and then I think, "man, is this entire fucking movie at night? I hope the brightness is turned up on projectors." And then that ending came. Fuuuuuuuuuuck yeah.
  18. Also, it's a $40 game. $60 just gets you some additional stuff.
  19. I JUST discovered that yesterday when I saw they re-opened the beta that still isn't open. I also saw it's going to come out for PS4 and Xbox One. That will be interesting, but I'm guessing the bulk of the community will be on PC.
  20. I don't know any drifters, unless the couple friends I had that moved to California and slept on people's/friend's porches count. I'm not sure where the line is between drifter and homeless... That was also sarcasm... In any event, Sampson has a good solid look, isn't abjectly terrible in the ring, but he's saddled with this lame ass gimmick. At this right, being Sandow's stunt double would be an upgrade for the guy. I would actually totally dig a tag team of Sandow and Sampson, where the refs are always confused about who is who. Silly shit like that seems up Sandow's alley at least. Someone else mentioned how he looked like Randy Savage and there could be something there too. Instead he's a drifter who can't El Kabong anyone with the guitar because of the no headshots policy. Plus, I can't hear his name without thinking of:
  21. Nice! That's awesome. I just want to get back down to 220 at this point and then focus on getting down to my lowest weight of 195. Through the events leading up the divorce (nearly my entire marriage) and the divorce itself, I ballooned up to 250 and developed a nasty binge eating addiction. I'm trying to cut that all out now to be around as long as possible for my daughter. Seeing things like people losing that much weight, like you, really inspires me.
  22. BTW, for those commenting on Graves ripping on this drifter guy, I think y'all forget that he's done the exact same thing with Becky Lynch and someone else too if I'm not mistaken.
  23. First - they just renovated it (supposedly that is why they are bidding again) Second - no one was implying it was a Dream Location. Craig set up the story by saying that 2017 was in Minnesota. I was correcting that part FWIW, I mentioned that someone else said that, and I was searching for clarification because I also heard Ford Field in Detroit.
  24. Someone a page or three back remarked about WM being in Minneapolis next year, but I kept thinking it was supposed to be returning to Ford Field. So in searching for news about this, I came across a WWE.com article about dream locations for WM, and this was part of the list... http://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/9-potential-wrestlemania-venues/page-9 With the continuous work they're doing on the stadium, that would be amazing, but the University and Brothers of the Holy Cross refused to even let U2 hold a free concert in Notre Dame Stadium at the height of U2's popularity, so this would never happen. Plus, with the weather off Lake Michigan, the weather could be below zero at WM time, or pleasantly spring-like. We have the most shitty-unpredictable weather here. That said, Notre Dame was a longtime venue for WWF events and I believe one of the first closed-circuit locations for early WWF PPVs. I never knew what the backstory to that was, but I imagine it had to do with someone in the front office being an ND fan. Anyway, what would be a dream location for WM in the US or Canada? Most of the locations in the article were scattered around the world, but if they could get around the weather perils, Soldier Field in Chicago would be a great location, but part of that is just me really wanting an NXT show at the All-State Arena.
