Guys with super modern tech and training working for a company that’s invested untold billions in this versus a bunch of people who essentially just walked out of the mid-1800s. There’s no excuse for things being so one-sided in favour of the hosts.

Once again, the show doesn't work unless 99% of the humans are dumb as rocks. When do the real security guys get here?

NXT TAKEOVER: CHICAGO II - 6/16/2018
John from Cincinnati replied to Dolfan in NYC's topic in WWE PROGRAMMING
That's why I find it so interesting. I love when someone gets hotshot into a top spot. Even if the match isn't great, it's a fresh match and you know the guy's motivated. -

His price tag for the chicken salad recipe is bigger than his payoffs. -
Even for season one, I'd say Legion is probably one of the all-time great examples of style over substance in television.

I’m pretty sure I have a DVD where that exact triple threat match ruled in 2003 or thereabouts. I really need to organize my physical media. -
@HumanChessgame I feel the whole series is pretty consistent in terms of pace and tone. So while I feel the whole series is worth checking out, what you saw was probably not unrepresentative of the show as a whole. Though it's been a couple years since I saw those early episodes, so take my words with a grain of salt.

Some are projecting Solo's second weekend to be between $25-27 million.

In other news about FX shows that I feel like I'm the only person watching, Legion has been renewed for a third season. I love FX so, so much.

"I sure do swear a lot." This can't be the CM Punk I'm thinking of. Invisible microphone CM Punk? No... I don't believe it... -
I actually loved how they handled that.

I know nobody here is watching, but The Americans had a pitch perfect series finale this week. Two days later and I still can't stop thinking about it. I'm sure you'll all enjoy it when you watch it in a couple years.

Not quite. That match in 2012 for the red case was indeed former champions only. But the red case match in 2013 was advertised as an All Star match. -
These days, absolutely -- if your stupid gets any notable attention. Strange to think we're still in the same decade where Michael Cole got a sensitivity training wrist slap for calling Josh Matthews a "fag." That's an immediate pink slip now. IIRC, this was also around the same time: And WWE's so much like the rest that if you're well liked, they'll probably hire you back in six months when it all blows over.

That world title match sounds super interesting, and it’ll probably be my least favourite match of the night. Can’t wait. -

Corbin's fine. But his booking is so start-and-stop, and the stops have tended to be the kind that undercut him being taken seriously. He's an adequate talent. But not good enough to overcome the lack of buy-in from the audience that his booking has earned him. -

I'm surprised you haven't set the board to automatically censor anyone trying to correctly spell his name. -
I tried a few episodes of the re-cut and stopped. "Chore" sums it up.

Arrested Development's new season is fine, but the show's just not as light on its feet as it used to be. Many scenes go on a beat or two too long. And while the show is benefitting from not using the same format as the original fourth season, it's still obvious they're working around a lot of very tight schedules.

And then you've got other big fellas like Dain and Sullivan waiting in the wings.
