  1. Guys, Ramsey dissed Snuffelupagus two pages ago and you all have let him get away with it. Sorry, I don't have HBO.
  2. You're the closest to Charlie Brown I've ever met.
  3. I am continuously confused by the existence of Lantern City. I think if they release press releases enough, they think someone is going to believe them or something.
  4. That's a big problem that I've touched on before. Everyone has to do all of their moves in every match. Again, taking away anything organic that the company does. A suicide dive should be a desperation move, not an every match move. The stupid springboard stunner should be a once in a while "he did WHAT?" move. There is no sense of suspense or desperation in a WWE match, because you know it's not over until everyone hits all their shit. That's part of what made Christian so great. He was so good at 1) having a bunch of stuff but 2) varying how he went in and out of it in his matches.
  5. Not so bad between Kana and the ironman match? They had Dana and Carmella then too.
  6. Glad you landed on your feet.
  7. What staggers me (and I know it shouldn't) is that they aren't even trying to replace them with anything even vaguely interesting. Shift things around a bit. Put on another hair or mask match or at least a title match or an atomicos match or anything. But that's just now how they operate. The thought probably never even crossed their mind. That they thought to bring Park and Wagner in to begin with (for something other than to hype an indy show or a postage stamp or something) was far more a deviation.
  8. Fool CMLL once, shame on you.
  9. Dana Brooke is basically the robot from Small Wonder.
  10. I'm okay with it if she ends up in armor. I still think not making her Jackpot was a mistake.
  11. It's Kane until they give us some reason to believe otherwise.
  12. My favorite wrestling stable ever:
  13. The Mike Shaw story where he got fired was really sad. I forget who told it. Ross maybe? The idea is that he hadn't been booked for a while, so he asked someone in the office to go ask Vince about it and what they were going to do with him. And Vince, upon remembering he was still there, just fired him. I feel like we're going to have the weirdest bunch of opponents in here:
  14. Have you tried constructing a Punjabi Prison?
  15. While I do think Eva vs Austin would be a draw, there's more of a built in story with Cameron vs Austin.
  16. Well, according to the sales figures on Comics Beat, issue 42, the first one I read, lost over 18% in sales and was down to almost 22,000 units moved, which is damn near cancellation territory. Unless it's doing gangbusters in digital sales, Valentine may want to think about changing direction pretty quick because this mob story arc isn't bringing in the readers. EDIT: Admittedly, Lobo is selling in the 12,000 unit range, though even then, with DC cutting back on royalty payments, I can't imagine Ms. Valentine is going to be very happy when she gets her direct deposit statements from Time-Warner payroll. So to sum up: despite your differences in opinion, you're expressing deepfelt sympathy to Mr. Dragon, in that a comic he's very passionate towards will probably be unsustainable in the direction he is enjoying so much. Because otherwise, you're really just being a dick.
  17. Some of his best friends are orange?
  18. Well, 13 year olds are stupid. He's extremely excited for the new season of Doctor Who, save for the fact that it's starting weekend after next and not last weekend. Likewise the Rick Riordan book coming out in a month or two. Star Wars though? Not so much.
  19. I'm enjoying just about everything. Renew Your Vows had some pretty groanworthy bits of dialogue. I'm ready for it all to wrap up though.
  20. I'm way more excited about new Star Wars than the 13 year old. He said "It'll take a lot of patching to get that thing back off the ground." Those were his exact words.
  21. Most of the people here complain about everyone's weak-ass looking offense. Enough guys get knocked for it that I've stopped blaming the wrestlers and decided it's the WWE style's fault that Dean Ambrose has to do dumb shit like rebound clotheslines and elbow drops to standing opponents or that Dolph Ziggler does that "Russian-legsweep-without-the-legsweep" thing for his finish... Mark Henry or bust.
  22. At this stage I'm okay with Hero as the Big Daddy Dink of New Day.
  23. Why WWE.com? Why?
  24. Did the British tax payers pay for her neck tattoo though?
