  1. Great spot; should have been the finish as Raven was pretty over.
  2. It's a great match in its way, but I can't imagine Austin is tremendously happy with that as his last match. It's a straight carry job by The Rock really.
  3. She got dumped too. Hornswoggle left to go to Smackdown and wrote her a Dear John. "But *I'm* on Smackdown!" sayeth AJ. NXT Redemption was pretty funny. AJ coming back to put over Paige is a shit load better than what was happening.
  4. Three-way dances are elimination though? I think that makes a difference actually, because the pinfall breakup stuff is what hurts a lot of Triple Threats.
  5. Eve was pretty awesome as a heel, despite it not being planned.
  6. I think it would probably settle the question for 10-20 years, but there's nothing to stop a referendum happening again and if you have the Scottish Nationalists getting an ever increasing share of the vote then I don't think you can prevent another vote. Given the Scottish attitude towards Labour, LibDems and Tories seems to be going ever more universal antipathy, then this looks pretty likely to me.
  7. People can bitch, but at least ROH did a surprise title switch. And in the end, made the right call even if for the wrong reasons. Yeah, ROH isn't what it was prestige-wise but it's always been pretentious and that's hardly a bad thing in wrestling. The idea is to get the belt and make yourself an top Indy guy and/or get a tryout from the WWE. Richards and Edwards got a tryout, Briscoe would be signed if he wasn't a dumb fuck, Noble/Gibson is still employed by WWE, Samoa Joe had the option of working there - it's a good thing to have on your resume. If people don't think the ROH Title is worth a damn, then it's not signiificant if some guy loses it now, is it?
  8. It's 1/4 best price with the bookies for a No vote. I don't think it's happening this time around, but I don't think you can put the genie back in the bottle either. Broadly I think secession would be a pity, mostly for England. But I can understand it - Scotland never would have ended up with Thatcher, Major, Blair or Cameron and having spent some time in Denmark (similar population, less natural resources), it might well be that Scotland can strike out on their own and make something happen. It would be a lot of work though, getting all those Government departments and whatnot set-up - the IT contracts will be eye-watering, As an IT contractor, I am really hoping for a 'Yes' vote for no other reason that I reckon I could get work up in Scotland for a while as a result.
  9. Liverpool have conceded some bad goals this season, but all of Liverpool's opponents so far are currently in the Top 6 - and Liverpool beat two of them. Yesterday was a disappointment, and I question the decision to rest Stirling, but losing Sturridge to injury at this point in the season is a body blow. I can't say I'm jumping for joy about what's happening, but I feel like we're riding out a bad period quite well. Away at West Ham after playing Champions League will be an important test.
  10. Great things happen when you join the Illuminati do DDP Yoga.
  11. Scott Keith also wrote this about The Ascension Slater & Gator have more chance of beating The Usos; dude knows fuck all about anything except how to have a bad haircut.
  12. TMZ are saying it, even if they aren't reporting it. Either way, feel sorry for his father who found him.
  13. I felt Konnor's face after the match told the story; he knew they hadn't done well enough. I agree that Viktor is the problem, but basically trying to get over as an asskicking tag-team when you have Harper & Rowan doing the rounds is always going to be an uphill struggle....and it's not like The Shield split up a long time ago. This is Dancin' Homer to the power of Wonderbat. I though Adrian Neville should have been put in the Ascension - I think he and Konnor might work. Ultimately Neville will work a lot of tags anyway.
  14. If I was to meet Vince or Trips, this is the one thing I'd point out. Nothing personal to any of them, but something has got to give.
  15. I didn't realise Hunico was mid-30s. He has a really good power game, so doesn't have to wrestle lucha-style at all if he can lose the mask.
  16. Well, HHH did come back the next night from being dropped by a forklift while trapped in car without a scratch. If he can come back from that, these guys are just being pussies and milking it. That was undersold, but I recall Steph moaning about HHH being put in a HITC the next PPV by Mick Foley (the multiman where Rikishi takes a huge bump, Rock oversells the Stunner and Angle retains) when he wasn't medically cleared. But that was not good either.
  17. I'm a bit disappointed that Rollins and Kane basically murdered a dude and it's just being treated as just another beatdown. That combined with Cena coming back to face Brock again at Night of Champions, and there's whole lot of underselling going on.
  18. The finish was definitely......interesting. They pushed an envelope there, though I think they went out of their way to make it look slightly contrived because it was OTT, but it was still pretty messed up. I think Seth Rollins is a very bad man. Ambrose is going to have to hurt this dude. And Kane may be a looking at a formal disciplinary meeting with HR. What's challenging in a different way is the finish where someone enters to their music during the match and distracts a wrestler and causes them to lose - it really needs to just stop. I mean, who enjoys watching that exactly? How is that not guaranteed to be anything other than groan worthy and make people look bad?
  19. I remember from my childhood that a WWE magazine had a picture of Greg Valentine in Hawaii having leis put on him by a lady. It explained that when in Hawaii, Greg always 'got plenty of leis'. It took me many years to get that joke.
  20. Cena is still the underdog with the bookies, but his odds are going in - the punters know that 5/2 is good odds for Cena against Jesus, Doomsday and Bruce Lee in a handicap tag.
  21. The 'Ryback eats 20 meals a day' gimmick actually makes more sense if there was actually two of them running a 'Prestige' gimmick.
  22. The funny thing is that Irwin R Schyster is not supposed to be the same person as Mike Rotunda, but I'm not 100% on whether either of them were named as the father of Husky Harris.
  23. The fact that Cena didn't make a snarky reference to Skip Sheffield during the Ryback feud makes me think they are supposed to be different people.
  24. Assuming Ryback isn't supposed to be a different person than Skip Sheffield, then you have him too.
