  1. Canadians should consider themselves lucky we even let them into the building. Edit: Seems like every time I say shit like this without quoting, it ends up on a new page.
  2. Ok, someone fill me in on the FSW/Punk twitter thing, cuz that sounds like comedy gold.
  3. Nono, that was a typo. Twerking celebs is his specialty.
  4. On the emerging developmental system: You heard it first. Daniel Bryan will be gone within the next five years*. *Yes I know. Can't I be negative without nitpicking?
  5. Anyone who that'll take down isn't a threat to me, at this point. Mind you I played the shit out of this yesterday by doing all the activities and stores and such and I'm up to level 50 at this point and with only 4 hours sleep I'm having trouble ending this sentence. *breath* I managed to get both the Void UFO and the Destructor tank in my garage fairly early, so all of those "hordes of baddies" activities basically consisted of me phoning up one of those and just blasting the fuck out of all of them. Now I barely ever get in a vehicle any more, it's just running/flying around.
  6. Seems cheap as hell, but the tower side quests are a bit less challenging once you've got the Void in your virtual garage.
  7. I just got superpowers. Awww yeaaah.
  8. Quite interesting the paths they've taken since the Nexus angle ended. Tarver: Never seen again Young: Hanging around the bottom of the card and on Superstars/Main Event, apt to get at least a mini-push out of being the first out WWE wrestler. Sheffield: Repackaged into Ryback, main-evented three PPVs, singularly failed to impress in any of them, fallen down to the midcard. Basically the same "good look, mediocre-at-best wrestler, can't talk for shit" guy he was back then. Slater: Had a brief tag title run with Gabriel in Nexus part deux, had a run of "getting beat up by past legends", now the erstwhile leader of the least-pushed heel stable in the company. Gabriel: Basically in Slater's position, except he's a face and has no discernible gimmick whatsoever. Otunga: Moved into a more-talking less-wrestling on-screen role as first Laurinaitus' and then Vickie Guerrero's lackey. Now MIA. Barrett: Multiple angles derailed by untimely injuries. Had an unremarkable IC title run, which is to say, he had an IC title run. Bryan: ...yeah, like anyone on this board needs this summarized.
  9. One more hour until I'm home with this.
  10. Summer of Punk should have taught us that you should not ever have WWE try to do ROH angles. Ever.
  11. I think his point is that the other option is saying "fuck this shit" and finding other things to do with your Mondays.
  12. That last bit leads into an awfully mean joke about Scott Hall...
  13. Wrong. Daniel Bryan is actually employed and owns his house. Well, it's his parents' house, they just don't live there. So he really is one of those guys who can't leave his parents... And he's only leaving that house cuz his girlfriend wants him to.
  14. Exactly. Politically-themed angles having been so successful in WWE as of late.
  15. Also they were probably waiting for Kane in one form or another. The angle's in a holding pattern until we see him again. This is exactly what I thought should have happened. However, I'm not as disappointed about the main storyline as some of you are. For starters, Daniel Bryan isn't Steve Austin, and even Austin had his share of defeats when ganged up on only to come back stronger. What they do in week one with this storyline is not as important as what they do with week two.So lets look at where the next Raw and PPV shows take place: AZ, IA, ON, MI, OH, and...Sept. 19th, Chicago motherfuckin Illinois. Now, I don't see The Shield or Orton losing their titles at Night of Champions in D-town, but they could set something up the following night to put DB over strong on the Chicago Raw. That's 5 weeks away. You can't pummel DB every week, but if they're smart, they at least let Bryan tread water until Chicago. And then, you blow the roof off the Allstate Arena. Maybe have him get his hands on Steph, or have him have an Austin like moment where he clears out everyone in the new Corporation. He'll, you could even do something that allows Bryan and Punk to team up to make FSW's head explode. September 19th is a Thursday. They're building to a House show?
  16. And weirdly enough, this won't have been the year he'll actually have deserved to win.
  17. Dutch Mantel said it best: "If you saw a wrestler in the 70's walking down the street, you'd say either that's a wrestler or the circus is in town. Nowadays, wrestlers walk down the street and look just like everyone else."
  18. Fun line I stole from someone else: "Triple H buried his feelings? Well I guess they were the only thing left..."
  19. you couldn't remember the term "trolling"? It's right up there with "hipster" as the most obnoxiously overused term on the internet.Not "trolling". "Concern trolling". It's a type of trolling in which you try to disrupt debate by pretending to agree with the people you actually disagree with and expressing disingenuous concern about problems their point of view has. Which isn't at all what's going on.I was referring to the post wondering about what effect this angle will have on the "casual fan" which was pretty much the definiton of "concern trolling". It's not remotely that. At most it's projecting one's own opinion onto others.
