I was looking for Goldust doing the Code Red. I found this first.

At the same time, I don't think we've gotten the same sort of quality from the C shows we had in, let's say 2010-2011, but I can't say that for certain because I haven't seen every 3MB match from this year or waht not.
Surely 2013 NXT is putting out better matches than 2010 NXT and Superstars?
I think the question is whether or not we'd count FCW which had its share of very good stuff in 2011-2012 at least.

The trick is to watch it on your terms. Even watching on youtube a day later, it was downright exhausting to get through all the good action this week.

How's that Final Fantasy Dimensions game for the Android?
I honestly feel like everything I want out of the franchise will look like that, scaled down and 16 bit and on mobile platforms or as quick cash grabs made by people who actually loved the original games. The series peaked at FFVI and never came close again. Right now it's so far away from what made it stand out and be unique. I really hated FFXII on a ton of levels. If I wanted that MMO style battle system, I'd play one of the dozens of other offerings. The traditional jRPG still has a niche. I understand that a lot of what we got used to about it at the time was based on technical limitations that no longer exist, but either through familiarity or through actual merits to those features people look at a lot of them fondly still.
I like something like Dragon Age as much as the next guy but I want something like FFIV or V or VI to be able to play as well.

I still think that for all the griping, the three hour Raws have a big part to do with this.

I viscerally hate the Jenkins run while admitting it has a certain quality.

WWE is scary good right now.
We already know that over the next few weeks we're going to get:
Daniel Bryan, Cody Rhodes and Goldust vs. The Wyatt Family
The Shield vs. CM Punk, Big E Langston and John Cena
and the
Bryan/Punk/Cena - Wyatt schmozz from the Troops show, plus whatever we get for Smackdown.
A comp for this year, even if it just had tag and six man matches, would be a billion hours long.

One thing I'll say about Sayama is that when he hits his stuff, it's some of the prettiest Cirque De Soleil stuff there is. It's wrestling as ballet and for about two minutes at a time every four months or so, it's a joy to watch.
-
My favorite thing about the way Meltzer described the Selfie thing is he had to include "Vince was a big fan of Nelson Mandela"
Way to go out on a limb
Now picture Vince backstage with Rene Goulet, Tony Garea, and Pat Patterson trying to figure out why Mandela turned down his offer to be the guest ring timekeeper for Hogan vs Slaughter at Wrestlemania VII.

Is the Terry Funk pic in my sig too large? I'll try and find a smaller one if it is.
Neither here nor there but I haven't killed your sig yet so that's probably a good sign. Alternatively, you just may not be a prolific enough poster.
-
If they move to another network, could that mean the end of these horribly long 3 hour RAWs, since it was USA who was pushing for that anyway??
I feel like we wouldn't have the sheer amount of high-end matches we've gotten this year without the 3 hour raw. It's pretty much the entire impetus for the extended tag team division and all the six-mans. I usually catch it on youtube a few days after and skip liberally. It's the only way to watch the show. Last night's Raw was a chore though because there were too many matches I wanted to see. That's the sort of problem I'm kind of glad to have.
-
What the heck was she going for there? Is the Burning Hammer a Bella Finisher I don't know about? Also, Cole wondering if Tamina shouldn't have been DQed was funny since no one's been dqed for interfering in a tag match like that in the WWE in the last 15 years. I think he wanted her DQed for kicking her in the face or something.

Man, Truth and Woods looked like a right pair of bastards there. Wait until Clay has properly hurt Sweet T, drive him off and then...
"Hey Funkadactyls, stop looking after your friend Tensai, come and dance with us instead".
Well said. I frogot to say that.
Ever since Battleground, where it turned out Tensai had a great announcing voice on the panel, I've been in favour of a Sweet T solo face push. Hopefully the fact that Clay as a self-professed "main event playa" is so ludicrous means Tensai will squash him in the coming weeks.
I'm assuming they're building to Big E vs Brodus.
-
I want Henry/Big E/Taker vs Shield still but then I also want Hogan/Rey/Cesaro vs the Swagger/Ryback/Axel so I'm pretty sure I'm not getting what I want. I think we need to have a tag team battle royal for at title shot like in WM 14.

Boy was everyone pissed off when Xavier became ROH champ.

Of these two things, I think we can only get Jae to manage one.

I really want Emma vs Parka in round one of March Madness now.

To be fair, it was in that "if you can't beat them" tone. It actually goes quite well with my Middleman avatar. I will fully admit the one minute I spent clicking at an "x" wasn't there about 6 weeks ago though.
-
You can "X" sigs away. i think at this point the only ones I haven't eventually done that to are the ops, because I can't.
So, FOR SCIENCE and all that!

If you don't get how awesome the Goldust comeback has been, I'm not sure I can help you. He was amazing at playing FIP last night. Show did every little last thing right in his segment vs Axel too and the Rey vs Cody stuff was probably the best Cody's looked all year.

I love WCW Prime.
I think I had the Dusty-Wearing-a-Witch's Hat from Prime posted on the old board. It's probably my favorite random WCW moment ever.
-
Nah, I like this stuff. I like all the thought they put into it and the changes and the care and the love and what not. Does it all work? No, but there's a reason behind everything and I enjoy hearing that reason almost as much as watching the movie. I have a general rule that if I like something when I have a little bit of it, I'll probably like it when I have a lot of it. They could have done the movie in two hours, sure, but I'd much rather get to watch 500 hours of middle earth stuff if it was of this level of quality than two hours of it.

Lawrence of Arabia is made by the contrast of Peter O'Toole's eyes and the desert. It couldn't have been anyone else.

Part of me thinks they should just make a a stable out of Punk/Bryan/Cena and their respective women. Jey Uso and Tyson Kidd could keep trying to get in.
