Technico Support

So they actually have advisors? Because so much of the technical stuff they say on the show is bullshit word salad. I mean it's not "two people furiously type on one keyboard as they frantically try to stop a hack" bad but still. And the graphical representation of a virus slowly heading toward a server as they rush to shut it down (episode 1) was fucking garbage. Data does not travel like a game of Pipe Dream for Windows. I will give them points for adhering to the very true premise that the majority of hacks are social/human error. The scene with the chick dropping piles of thumb drives outside the police station was cool.

The combination of the "best/worst finishers" thread and a few mentions of Bob Backlund got me thinking of the atomic drop. I have legitimately not seen anyone do an atomic drop since the late 80s. In a world where we have the Canadian Destroyer and 35 leaping STO variations, has wrestling evolved to the point where smashing a dude's ass with your knee is where we draw the line of absurdity? The atomic drop and the claw are moves that, off the top of my head, are examples of wrestling moves you just don't see anymore (or rarely). What else ya got?

LOL @ "belly clothesline." That's perfect. Even better than "running hug" as the description for Edge's spear.

I mentioned it in another thread, but Moose has the worst spear I've ever seen, which is ironic because the guy played pro football. But he barely touches his opponent and then he himself does a forward flip when he hits it. Indyriffic in all the wrong ways. Look at this gentle, non-hurty shit. He essentially doing a running cannonball into nothing while he glances his opponent, who bumps as best he can: On the positive front, I love Kenny Omega's One Winged Angel, which is indyriffic in all the right ways. Similarly, I like Pentagon Jr.'s pumphandle driver though it's not a finish. Both moves look like they could Droz the person taking it if they're even slightly off.

There's a prevailing callousness in this country toward those we perceive as being "below us" that's sad and is never going to change. You see it every time a suspected criminal is killed by police. "Well he had it coming." No, motherfucker. We have due process and sentencing in this country that is supposed to be commensurate with the crime. This shit ain't Robocop. Murder might get a death sentence but nothing else does. You can't just shrug off police straight up murdering someone who did a lesser crime, or even just suspected or looking suspicious because, "fuck it, he was trash anyway and probably deserved it." God, it makes me sick.

Edit: Nevermind, I can't even with this shit

Holy shit I used to love RDR multiplayer (when it worked) deathmatches and how you got a new skin every time. MINERS versus WALTON'S GANG

I'd guess not true...Steve seems a little clueless with regard to indies. I remember him interviewing Kevin Steen a while back and Steen said something like, "I don't know whatever happened to El Generico but I hear this Sami Zayn kid is doing well in NXT" and Steve didn't get it and moved on.

She misunderstood when she overheard someone saying, "I don't care about how she wrestles, I'd rather see her box."

Aside from being a domestic abuser, his spear looks like shit.

Do you need Xbox Live Gold for this or do you just put the old disc in and bob's your uncle?

Well Galloway isn't in the tournament, so he could fill that "boring WWE castoff" spot.

In today's entry from the "unnecessary bullshit" department, The Warriors is being remade for Hulu. Fuck this shit.

Damn, Brian, sorry to hear that. My condolences to you and yours.

For as much as I dislike the Canadian Destroyer, I don't mind Adam Cole's "Panama Sunrise." Probably because jumping off the second rope to somehow add some spring to his jump makes some sense from a "goofy pro wrestling physics" perspective.

Thanks guys!

Animal on the apron, maybe a Beverly Brother getting pressed, but who are the other guys? That's definitely not Hawk. It looks maybe like Crush but I don't recall him ever filling in on the LOD. Guy on the far right looks like Riki Choshu Brooklyn Brawler rolling in/out, maybe. Is this a WAR tag match? Holy shit why did you make me scroll back up to look at that? I just noticed his has something written on his god damn pubic mound which is so unsettling. My tattoo guy is in jail but I still feel worse for Enzo's guy.

My point exactly. I mean I remember seeing ridiculous clickbait articles about how Guardians was "Marvel's biggest gamble to date" but the trailers alone generated enough interest to guarantee it would have at least a huge first weekend. It wasn't Ant-Man, for fuck's sake. Did we know Guardians would be as big as it was? Probably not, but nobody genuinely thought it would bomb.

While her entrance gear is awesome, her ring gear looks like she coated herself in Stickem and ran through a Goodwill. I have no idea what she's supposed to be wearing and it doesn't suit the character at all.

Sorry I was caught up looking at her muscle boobs which are in two different timezones

I think a huge part of the reason Punk was never made "The Guy" was because of his personality. You don't want to hang the company on a paranoid, difficult, humorless git who will throw a shitfit and maybe walk out because of every real or perceived slight.

So what percentage of Punk's grievances with WWE were all in his head? I'm going to go ahead and say 75% with the remaining 25% made all the worse by his persecution complex and other issues.

Just stay out of the "Talk" section for Mania 3.
