  1. Are there role players anymore besides Ellsworth? Seems like everyone being a star makes no one a star and the one guy who isn't becomes one because he's the only guy who's different.
  2. I now want a Dusty appearance where he just casually strolls up to the counter where Tony's working, leans forward and says to Tony in a calm and rational voice, "Sir, there's a lady in the men's bathroom."
  3. I'm not even 5 minutes in and it's amazing. I await an update when it actually dies.
  4. Do we have any idea how much Tony Schiavone made? Dude worked on TV for 20+ years. I'm surprised to hear him say he is/was looking for health benefits by getting a job at Starbucks.
  5. I know, but if they were eh movies, you probably wouldn't.
  6. When's the last time you watched a three hour movie, let alone one you thought sucked? Did you watch it again next Monday?
  7. So how brightly is the hobo dumpster fire burning this week?
  8. I wrote a long answer, but my computer hates me. To make it short, why is it wrong to ask the WWE to get back into actual storytelling with consequences?
  9. This is so fundamentally wrong in 2016 it's laughable. The viewer can go online and watch those 3 minutes that "matter" without having to sit through all the other crap. That's the problem with booking for moments and not developing stories people can invest in. Moments don't last and rarely do they matter. I don't know how long it's been, but we're still talking about Shakespeare, Grimm Brothers, and countless other great stories written ages ago. Wrestling was way better when they were stealing from Shakespeare opposed to whatever Russo injected into it.
  10. Not worth it...and look what happened to all three guys. Wrestling is a shitty profession. Getting a meaningless emotional pop once every ten years isn't worth thousands of abusive hours in my world. Christ we used to get two or three of those every few months. Now get off my lawn!
  11. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.
  12. Personally, I was an angry youth who was frequently getting into trouble fighting authority and I loved big boobs. WWF RAW was perfect for me.
  13. Wrestling fans look back on wrestling's past from today's perspective with an appreciation for the good and a...I'm not sure the right words, maybe sick pleasure, in some of the worst stuff ala end run WCW, do y'all think this trend will persist into the future? Will something similar happen with MMA or did it surpass that possibility due to age in which it was created and the instant access to most if not all information regarding the event thanks to the internet?
  14. I think you're missing the larger picture. Ellesworth gets a contract because of 100% completely random chance of being right place, right time, right person amused by him. Those two actors didn't happen to just both be there on a Tuesday when the network execs walked by and said, that guy looks funny, put him on the show. I'm not upset or begrudging of the man's sudden rise. My point was that pure luck and circumstance is why he got a job really. It wasn't his years of experience and hard work that got him a contract, it was just dumb luck. You can't work hard on that. Elsewhere in the wrestling bubble..... So the part-timer who beat the Undertaker lost to a guy who isn't going to around much if at all anymore. Anyone else remember when the booking was used to get people over and make stars? Edit: Apparently goldie is sticking around
  15. It's more like...look at who this guy just jumped over. It's really something that only happens in wrestling. And really it should depress a lot of people. Hard work, dedication...nah just be a goofy guy at the right time to amuse the masters. Maybe Ryder could get a push again if he starts dressing up like the gooker backstage every week.
  16. So should Nakamura and Joe just show up from NXT and beat the piss outta Ellesworth for "taking" what should be theirs?
  17. Hey, Jericho was rock and rolling and being great long before then. So he had a few less than stellar years, how does that take away from the new list and the old list. That stuff was brilliant.
  18. Why is Jericho being great such a surprise to people?
  19. If only shitty news outlets cared about TNA we could get articles speculating on Dixie being a Highlander.
  20. Ok, but I'm under the impression it was all standing and punching. Not sure how much difference flipflops make if that's what happened.
  21. As a guy who sucks in his mma efforts....what's so Impressive about kicking ass in flipflops when I see dudes doing it barefoot constantly.
  22. After seeing the one in the spoilers and the Vice one, this one is more amusing in a Darwinian way of thinking.
  23. And that's a real shame because he missed out on so many chances to make so much money.
