  1. They booed Charlotte's entrance and cheered Becky running in to beat on the exhausted babyface.

    It's always funny when WWE fails to read the room and insists on plowing ahead anyway.

    On the plus side, Becky's getting better babyface reactions now than she's ever gotten on the main roster.

    And this season did the impossible and made TC sympathetic. 

    To me, that was probably the most impressive bit of writing this season.

    Loved this season.  I really hope this show only goes a few more seasons though.  I really want to see how they wrap the show up before they either get canceled prematurely or hang on too long and the writing goes downhill (or someone crucial leaves the cast).

    I kinda wonder how long Dominic Cooper (or more likely, a stylist who works for the studio) has to spend to keep his hair looking like that.  Lol, even being put in a coffin and sunk to the bottom of a swamp, then escaping by blowing up the coffin and swimming to the surface of said swamp, couldn't damage Jesse's hair.  God damn!

  3. Y'all made me google Trish Stratus to find out how old she is.  I'm trying to not think about what truly useful bit of information I've had to forget so I can remember Trish is 42.

    Heels making fun of Trish's age would sit better with me if I didn't remember Meltzer's comment (5-10 years back) that Vince thought 35-year-old women were too old to be on TV.

    Based on the trailer I kept referring to it as "the home-schooled kid [whose parents sent them to High School to get socialized] telling the lamest "dirty" jokes to try to fit in"

    That's not far off.  It was pretty obvious the filmmakers thought it was 1980-something and the idea of foul-mouthed puppets would get a rise out of people.

  5. Lol, if they had released the PS4 game alongside the PC, Sony could probably have sold me a PS4.

    That window has closed.  The game hasn't grabbed me like Fire Pro Returns did.  I like the PC version well enough, but I hardly played FPR.  I enjoyed creating real-life edits and doing some simming.  I was never a fast edit maker, but I managed to create quite a few over the course of a decade or so.  I just can't imagine spending that sort of time on World.

    I found this on Reddit because I was looking to see if Scott Steiner still owned the Shoney's in Acworth, Georgia. I figured I'd share with my DVDVR brethren.

     

     

    If I have to pick my stalker, I'm going to pick creepy guy who hangs around an airport at 2 AM waiting to approach me over dude who thinks taking pictures of a Shoney's is nearly a religious experience.

    I know I am probably being a snowflake here but I find the concept of Happytime Murders to be offensive. 

    The execution is worse than the concept.

    It wasn't as bad as I thought it might be, but it's not even really worth a free rental from the public library.  The review that called it "a witless comedy that blindly pushes buttons instead of attempting to tell a good story" was spot-on.

    At least reportedly they had frozen his contract so the time wasn't running on it due to his breech so I'm assuming they negotiated some kind of release.

    Didn't know that.  Didn't they do the same thing with Rey at one point?

    I have no idea how that is legal.  I mean, I guess it's written into the contract?  Or at least the contract language is so vague, WWE feels like it would hold up?

    Meltz's report says he's free to wrestle elsewhere and doesn't mention a 90 day.

    If his contract literally did expire, I'd assume the 90-day clause is also null and void.  I mean, if the contract "expired" and there's still a 90 day no-complete clause in effect, then the contract is still in effect and really hasn't expired (legally).  Once a contract is truly (and legally) expired or terminated, there's no legal way to enforce any of its elements on the other party.

    I've always assumed the no-compete clause is effectively severance pay.  The wrestler agrees not to work for any competing company and in return gets paid x amount for the next three months.  It depends how the clause is worded, of course, but I've always assumed wrestlers could decline the option and go work elsewhere immediately by declining to be paid for the 90 days following severance.  Honestly, it's sort of dumb to sign a contract which doesn't give you some sort of out in the event the company fires you, but I can see guys not caring about the fine print at the time.  And... Vince would probably have a clause inserted that bars the wrestler from ever working for anyone except the WWE if he thought he could get wrestlers to sign

  10. I don't have a problem with her opinion (though I don't agree and am not giving up football any time in the foreseeable future), but i did wonder how her bosses would react to her thanking football for freeing up her weekends on air.

    I actually like Beadle so I'm not one of the people calling her out for various things, but she and Greenberg have negative chemistry together.  I actually think Katie Nolan would play off Greenie well, but the whole show seems a badly thought out trainwreck, so Nolan is probably right that the failure would have gotten hung on her.

    What are the ratings like for Golic's radio show? I like Golic well enough, find Trey Wingo to be mostly dull.

    Season 2 of JUSTIFIED is generally considered the best of the series and one of the best seasons of the Golden Age of TV, full stop.  If that didn’t hook you, you’re probably not going to like the rest of the series any better.

    This is so true.  I didn't really dig seasons 1 or 2 but I kept watching it off and on for several seasons afterward.

    Squaresoft's PS1 output is staggering. FF 7/8/9, Chrono Cross, Xenogears and Parasite Eve 1 & 2 are a pretty great frontline of JRPGs, but you've got real keepers in Threads of Fate, Einhander, Brave Fencer Musashi, Legend of Mana, and the Bushido Blade games as well. I don't know what the other candidates for Best Third Party Catalog On a Single Console would be (and I'd love to hear 'em) but Square on PS1's gotta be way, way up there, right?

    Rare Ltd. for N64?  Donkey Kong 64, Goldeneye 007, Diddy Kong Racing, Perfect Dark, Banjo Kazooie & Banjo Tooie, Conker's Bad Fur Day.  They also did developed Blast Corps and Jet Force Gemini, which didn't sell as well but were very good games.

    Other than that, I'd go with the suspects already mentioned.  Capcom  for PS2, Capcom for Saturn, Capcom for Dreamcast, SquareSoft, Sega for GC.

    PS1's fighting library would have been awesome if almost every game didn't have a simultaneous release on Saturn that was generally a little better since Saturn was a RAM beast (most of the PS1 fighters had frames of animation removed from the PS1 versions.  Sometimes whole gameplay modes).

    And I really enjoyed the GameCube Sonic Adventures ports, which y'all are leaving out of your recommendations.  For shame.
