RIPPA

Well it worked because we all had RPGs - so that leveled the playing field

Much like how I still believe that anyone I don't know on the board is a Ganc sock puppet - my rule of thumb for GTA 5 is "Not Crew" I will be online till RAW starts so I can do either GTA or ME3 tonight

I really don't get what anybody sees in Big E. Langston. He's been terrible any time they've given him the mike and his ringwork, while not terrible or anything, has been pretty pedestrian. Was he that great in NXT? I've only seen him since he was called up. You (and Playa who liked it) are dead to me

That was more my point. Mess up catching Porky and - in theory - it isn't as bad. Blow the Torito spot and the little dude is splatting.

"Please don't get hurt. Please don't get hurt."

Let us all not forget the Giant Machine work And I can't begin to tell you how excited I got when I saw the words "Machines Ambush Inoki" all in the same Title http://youtu.be/Xj-i73wDwtI

Andre really makes my heart so happy. We could do an entire thread of just Andre holding random women

Man - I always feel that the dude in the catching position (like Fandango in this case) must have to be a little terrified that they don't fuck up on a spot like that.

Again - may have been covered already

And this is probably my favorite non-Hansen Andre match. Good Christ - the man's facials and crowd interactions alone http://youtu.be/mOOyxdEHZKU

Okay - here is the deal. I fucking love Andre. Andre also passed away on my 18th birthday... which is today. (My birthday... not the 18th one. God - if only it was my 18th birthday.) I decided that in celebration of my impending doom - I was going to highlight some of my favorites this week. In one of the NXT threads - Matt asked me what my favorite Andre matches were. The answer might honestly be "almost all of them". Clearly I am not going to revisit the jobbing to Warrior in 30 seconds ones or the Japan matches during his last days on Earth ones. I mean - while sad - his early 90s All Japan run provided at least goofy matches (like Andre in a tag match against Foley) so they had that value. If I every introduced some sort of "You Must Watch These 5 Matches Before Being Able To Post On This Board" system - Andre vs. Stan Hansen would be one of those 5. I thought about not including it here because of how cliched that would seem. But it is fucking Andre/Hansen and you don't need a fucking excuse to watch it. http://youtu.be/bp0Wo7hLTIE While embarrassing to look back at. I am glad that my moment of discovery of this match was recorded thanks to this very site.

BTW - Reigns eliminated 12 of the possible 23 guys he could (6 guys were eliminated before he entered and counting himself). So he eliminated 52% of his possible competition. Also - I like how they gave Kane the fake elimination to keep his total eliminations above Shawn Michaels

I also don't know why Batista wasn't #30. If nothing else - it would have meant like 5 less minutes in the ring. Maybe he wouldn't have been so gassed. Jesus Dave - work on your cardio

God - Randy Orton really missed his chance. I mean if I was him (besides not having the hideous tat sleeves) - I would have been out there with Kane yanking fools out left and right until El Torito was the winner

The Colons seemed to be on borrowed time again too

Stuff that I am sure was covered in these 19 pages that no one will find thanks to all the nonsense Based on the announce participant list - Xavier Woods and the Prime Time Players all lost their spots in the Rumble. God - Titus O'Neill better be watching his back when the post-Mania Turk comes looking for him. Just to clear up this point - that was the first time the JBL had been in a Rumble. Layfield himself had been in previous Rumbles

Aww... the WWE with the MLB-esqe move of burying it's own news Summer Rae In Jo-Jo Out

Looking at the full list Poor poor terrible non-Rock Hercules

Okay - lets all settle the fuck down now First and last warning

Jesus - it's 4 am and this thread is at 19 pages Don't you people fucking sleep

I heart hockey I heart outdoor hockey I heart outdoor hockey in the snow I especially heart outdoor hockey in the snow when it is at Yankee Stadium and the Rangers are suddenly putting the boots to the Devils

I thought about that bundle since value wise it definietly looked liked a good deal. My problem was that I knew I would never ever wear any of the T-shirts and I have zero use for the banners. I also feared that if I put Gail Kim in as one of my favorite wrestlers from the promotion - I would get like 3 Knockout Flip Books
