  1. Is comparing Harper to the Harris brothers a punishable offense?
  2. It's amusing that Cena in this 12 month period made a conscious effort to increase his moves. Like that weirdo lift neckbreaker thing.
  3. And I will say that I'm nitpicking. It might just be because Cody gets such great air on the springboard but I can't help but look for it now. That said, I think that he's probably one of the three most entertaining guys in the WWE in the last twelve months just for his appearance on JBL & Cole Shows If you haven't seen this two parter do yourself a favor and watch it now. It's probably my single favorite thing WWE's produced all year. Still kind of wooden in the ring sometimes on those hot tags though.
  4. Your parents read Upton Sinclair to you before bed, didn't they?
  5. It's more endemic than just the dropkick. Check out the expression on the Alabama Slam here: http://youtu.be/5qheSLcginQ?t=23m57s I don't know if it's because he's doing stuff that is more challenging than what he can process or if he's just thinking about what comes next but he loses the emotiveness more than most guys in the WWE and since that's something very important to Vince I think it helps create a ceiling for him.
  6. This is a totally subjective tournament. If people don't like the NPJW style, then the fact he does it well doesn't count for a ton. I get where you're coming from but you are looking at march madness from a far too lofty (and frankly misguided) place.
  7. You just don't understand the fine art of the missile dropkick, friend.* *This is totally not my plan to get people to post 30 pictures of completely random guys doing missile dropkicks with constipated expressions, nope.
  8. I really think that Bryan should lose to Cesaro this year (if not someone else) almost solely on him dropping his limb selling. That's not to say it's all important so much as when you hit something as high end as who's #1, the little things matter and with Bryan it's fairly glaring. Cesaro on the other hand does stuff like the rejointing of his own limb to justify downplaying his selling.
  9. I would have tons of crap to say about Hercules Hernandez. As for the other guy. I saw him do this move in ROH ten years ago and it's one of the craziest moves I've ever seen live. I don't really have anything else to say.
  10. Past Brock, Ambrose is probably the only guy in this you can make a case for solely on animated gifs.
  11. I like Cody a lot but he really does come off as wooden. It's his facial expressions and it's most noticeable during the springboard dropkick. There's this look of frozen concentration when he hits a lot of his stuff. It's almost the opposite of Ambrose and it really stands out when he's teaming with Dustin.
  12. Tough second round draw for Cody. Is this a career year for him?
  13. Last year Masters, on Twitter, was pretty happy at beating the Rock. I think this result is actually a lot more impressive than that, even if he's not going to win it. It also makes me wonder if our buddy J. Uso might have a real shot against the WON Air Guitar Player Of the Year.
  14. If you're doing it right, "Grown up things" is watching Ghostbusters with your kid. As for Gonzalez, he invested way too much time here not to at least lurk. This had to be the guy's only hobby.
  15. The best part is you couldn't logically vote for Brock in any way yet here we are! The best part is that you've somehow collapsed all possible DVDVR memes into themselves in this note and you've become the argumentative version of this: I'd say "you crossed the streams" but I'm worried the reference would get lost. Maybe we can run with something about the Matrix and pills?
  16. To me the best part was the crowd. They were pretty much behind it all, especially when they started the Daniel Bryan chant, but when Bryan asked to be put in the main if he won and everyone realized what was going on before their eyes and pretty much against their expectations, that's when they really erupted.
  17. I think it is just a different way of interfacing with the internet. Damn kids think it's some kind of game to win and not a way to discus things, It's vaguely impressive how you've just about managed to own something that could get you suspended at any moment for so little gain. That is dedication right there.
  18. Pretty much every irritating poster on the board is under thirty. Of course we have plenty of blatantly insane posters over thirty.
  19. FSW is almost making me miss Gonzalez here. Poor bastard realizes that he only has one round with Punk and is trying to get all of his shit in.
  20. I do love that Masters vs Tanahashi is closer than this.
  21. I think you should take some heart that, in the face of the general feelings that you are bringing up and dealing with, that a number of people actually did and are checking out matches. So few people are into lucha that I think every person that is exposed to some new wrestlers is a disproportionate win. Speaking of that, since it wasn't posted yet (and wasn't in the Titan note), here's what I said on PWO about it a few days ago:
