If you bought the LS Customs out in the desert as Franklin, all that customization would have been free.

So LU is in the same category as American Ninja Warrior and Spartan Race? There's no kind of governing body or anything that can keep a production from classifying itself any way they feel like it? Like if I made a sitcom, I could classify it as a reality show to avoid paying actors the union minimum? The entertainment industry is bizarre.

I can definitely see Ricochet losing in round 1. He's probably not long for PWG, he's already won BOLA once, and it looks like Cobb is going to be a featured guy moving forward. On the Cobb tip, he's awesome and has fun matches, but the dude needs to get his cardio up. He was really blown up and moving slow in the Hero match. Chris Hero was running rings around him, and we all know what Scott Steiner would say about Hero.

Don't you mean "sabotaage?"

Michael Elgin is using the Burning Hammer but it's the safe version, which is essentially an inverted AA

What's wrong with his face? Dude looks like post-op Bobby Heenan

Tomato, to mah to. The opponent's face rippling like Rocky and his head violently rocking to the side say otherwise. I'm not talking about UFC here, "Shoot knee" = he sure as fuck didn't work that shit. He legitimately kneed him in the face. He pulled it a little but come the fuck on. Justify it and soften it all you want, but this is supposed to be a work and hitting someone square in the face with your knee either means you're careless or untalented.

This is the only sandbox game where I'll gladly go after a mission that's clear across the map just to see what happens in between. For example, I held off on the "Flowers for a Lady" strangers mission until I had a Seth mission in Tumbleweed, figuring I'd be able to get all the flowers on the way. An hour later I had all the flowers and knocked out some sharpshooter and hunter missions. Seth was still waiting but fuck 'em.

The bloatee!

Nice. Some actual footage, not just teasers. Hey, more Trevor from GTA and

Goldberg is right up there with Cornette as living proof of the "you say you met an asshole in the morning" rule.

The postscript on this show is that someone wrote in to the Ric Flair podcast so Flair could hear AJ's none too flattering impersonation of him (which was super lispy and drunk sounding -- I loved it). Flair said he was cool with AJ and Gallows but sounded pissed about Anderson's "$40,000" remark. 1) Fuck that nerd for stooging the good brothers 2) What is the $40,000 in reference to? The amount Flair ripped off Highspots for or something else? 3) So Jay Lethal has the best "Flair in his prime" impersonation but Styles owns it for the past his prime, "Elvis in Vegas" version of the Nature Boy.

Thinking back to Lil' Enzo and still lollin' "Have you eva been to da grand canyon Mawty? Is it anything like a full sized woman's vagina?"

So right up Vince's alley, in other words.

Good to see the deathmatch stuff isn't the only dumb thing in this thread. Somebody please explain the difference between, "sure, go ahead and slam me on some scissors, it's cool" and "sure, go ahead and give me a shoot running knee to the face, it's cool." I hate to be Jim Cornette here but come the fuck on. Neither takes and skill and both are maybe one small step removed from an actual geek show.

The dude took speech lessons to get over a horrible stuttering problem because they asked him to. Awesome. I want to see him join the main roster as a member of the Wyatt Family.

I'm glad this episode touched on the thing that had bugged me since season 1: why the fuck would they not change the sign on the building??? God dammit. Elliott's religion speech was heavy handed and edgy teen in the same way that the season 1 finale Times Square speech was, but the acting was amazing. It was obvious the point was that this was Mr. Robot taking over at that moment.

I really enjoyed Tozawa vs Johnson. It was a little sloppy but that made it feel more like a fight than the previous matches. Holy fuck I just used Meltzer logic but what can you do? Tozawa ducking a clothesline and hitting the fastest German suplex I've ever seen was insane. I was sad he could only shush the fans instead of the usual "shut the fuck up!" "The Michael Jackson of Wrestling" is not really a great gimmick, all things considered. We're lucky we Ventura or Heenean aren't around or someone would have asked if that mean Mack had a few 9 year-olds waiting in the dressing room. Like others here, I really dug Mack whipping out the Human Tornado dance kicks but wish he'd capped it with the split-kick to the junk. Watch the guy in the "Paul Heyman Guy" t-shirt at ringside when Ali hits the springboard Spanish Fly. You can pinpoint the exact moment his brain melts and his soul leaves his body. I like the inclusion of Tajiri specifically and the inclusion of atypical cruiserweights in general. What I mean is that cruiserweight style has been narrowly defined as young guys doing highspots. They're doing well to define it as just a weight class instead, with more styles and older guys like Tajiri. It's pretty great and I'm really satisfied with the shows so far.

Not a GIF but.... Amateur wrestler hits an AA (better than Cena because he sticks it)

I just had a thought about the six man (Bucks & Cole vs Castle and The Boys). Castle uses different "Boys" in PWG since it's cheaper and easier to just get some extras than it is to fly the ROH Boys in just to walk him to the ring. It would be awesome if the Boys in this match were ringers. Cole & The Bucks get to the ring and they're cocky, imagining how outmatched Castle and two tiny, almost untrained dudes will be, and then Castle comes out with Brian Cage and Jeff Cobb dressed in fringe and wearing those frilly costume masks.

6 women gives you 15 possible singles matches that's plenty its just simple maths bro

Both were allowed to team up and kick Jericho in the face because he was being obnoxious. But when faced with Kane, they were powerless to stop him and had to stand there with his hands on their throats, time standing still, waiting for the chokeslam.. Absolute shit. Now that's a good point that I hadn't thought of.

Ah, cool. Thanks for the update. #bringbackthefist During the interview, the graphic lists him as a 9-time tag team champion. Are they counting indies now?

Holy shit this fucking draft. Seriously. Holy. Fucking. Shit. Remember all the cool ideas and speculation leading up to this? Maybe the second brand wouldn't be Smackdown, but NXT instead. Show-specific divisions (all women on one show, all cruisers on the other). Mystery wrestlers like MVP getting drafted. Bayley, Joe, Nakamura or (insert worthwhile NXT wrestler here) getting a call up. Smackdown becoming the show for the hot young talent. Smackdown getting a different set and different look. And look at what we got. The opposite of all of that. Nope, it's Smackdown. A passe name that's been around almost 20 years and is indisputably recognized as the B-show. Cruisers and women are spread everywhere with no rhyme or reason so half have nothing to compete for. Same goes for teams Zero wrestlers from outside the company. Instead of the obvious call-ups, we got Nia Jax and Mojo fucking Rawley. What the fuck is the value in Nia Jax? This has got to just be a favor to The Rock to keep him happy, right? Both are untalented and absolutely useless. Is somebody trying to sabotage HHH? "Man, these call-ups are not good." Cena, Orton, Miz, Kane are the opposite of hot young talent Same old look. Can't upset Kevin Dunn's lazy, cookie cutter, McDonald's approach to his "craft." And the steaming turd on top of the shit sundae, Owens and Zayn's hot feud losing all its steam to make a 49 year old look strong. It really takes commitment to reach this spectacular level of incompetence. WWE could fuck up a wet dream. Oh and how has nobody mentioned Stephanie talking all over every single video package? Every god damn time a guy was picked and then ran a video, there she was yapping like the attention seeking buffoon she is.
