This is less about Eva and more about the fact that the Complete Shot/Flatliner/Downward Spiral/etc. is my least favorite move in the history of wrestling. They literally have 4 people using that move as a finisher right now, and I don't understand why. This is a company that has destroyed the credibility of the DDT, only to build up this shit.

This is not untrue. Tyson's only real advantage was his power, but Holyfield's biggest advantage was that he was the better strategic fighter. If Holyfield's chin negates Tyson's power, Tyson has to try to figure out Holyfield's strategy. I think the best part of the entire documentary was Tyson's commentary. Listening to Tyson talk boxing is like listening to Kanye West talk about music. All the other shit you may think about either of them kind of goes away and you think to yourself, "oh yeah, there is a reason these guys are so successful." Tyson clearly loves boxing, and his perspective on Holyfield as a boxer seemed to be right on point. Don Turner's parts were good too, especially that last one where he was talking about Tyson being a great fighter, but not the tough guy he's been made out to be. Tyson's entire career was based on him being the meanest, toughest, most intimidating man on the planet. That is all marketing. Tyson as a fighter was a skilled fighter who had massive power. He had the shortest reach of any heavyweight champion in history, and he used good head movement to be able to close the distance on his opponents. Tyson also had a rock solid chin, allowing him to withstand the punishment a shorter fighter may face trying to get in punching range. Tyson could beat almost anyone who couldn't keep him at distance, because his punching power was so devastating. If you could withstand that power and/or keep him at a distance, he was beatable. Tyson's was essentially a shot gun, incredibly powerful up close, but ineffective at distance. Holyfield was able to withstand the occasional shotgun blast and fight in a way that frustrated and beat up Tyson. I don't know if Tyson beats him before prison, after prison, in prison, or anywhere else. Holyfield's biggest weakness was that he was small, and had a hard time fighting bigger fighters. He is basically the perfect fighter to fight Tyson.

i'm not sure he want a title shot Meltzer tweeted that he signed with NOAH. I hoped that he would sign with New Japan, but who knows with their working agreement.

I disagree with this. I don't think you should deny anyone the ability to work. If someone is qualified, and someone is willing to pay them, they should be allowed to do that job. Nothing good can happen by stopping Greg Hardy from playing football. He went through the legal process and the NFL's discipline process. At the end of those processes he was punished as severely as possible based on the results. We can wish he had a more severe punishment, but at this point that has more to do with us than him. He's a bad person, but there are plenty of bad people in every walk of life. Do you know if anyone at your job has beat up his wife and/or girlfriend? Would your job fire them if hey did? I don't know if anyone at my job has, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't fire them if they won in court. The world is filled with assholes, scumbags, and flat out terrible people. Those people are going to exist whether we like it or not. Greg Hardy should be allowed to play, based purely on the fact that their rules say that he can. I don't like him, his actions, or his attitude after, but I also don't like liver and onions. I don't think we should ban liver and onions, despite the fact that I don't want it anywhere around me. You can blame the players association, but the only reason that organization exists is to represent the players. They can't pick and choose who they represent, he's a member of the union they are obligated to defend him to the best of their ability.

They couldn't legally suspend him for 10 games, what makes you think they could give him a lifetime ban? He would not be playing if it was up to the NFL. They literally punished him as much as they could punish him.

I swear to God, if anything happens to Amari now...Grrrrr. Did you hear him on the LeBatard show last year? The entire interview was one question, "What would you be doing if you were in the NFL right now?" His answer, "Dominating." They laughed and just hung up the phone.

The addition of legendary emenies changes the gameplay so much. You think you are fighting with a couple of feral dogs, until you notice one is called Legendary Vicious Alpha Mongrel, then you have to figure out how to kill it and get his bandana.

What if it is Barry's dad?

I don't know if Baron Corbin comes off well to anyone else, but I like him a lot more after watching a couple of episodes. He isn't really an asshole, as much as he's someone who wants to be left alone. I can relate, because I'm a pretty big introvert, but he comes off as someone who doesn't really need all the attention. With that said, being a 6'8" professional wrestler makes that a pretty tough life. The parts that really made him turn a corner with me were him watching Tyler Breeze's match and how happy he was to be able to wrestle in front of his cousin and his son. Everything he said about Breeze's match was this is a competition and I want to win, but you could tell that he really respected his work. He's probably been the biggest surprise for me. Tyler Breeze is phenomenal. I don't know what his ceiling is, but he's the perfect NXT wrestler. The Jason Jordan ball busting contest was amazing. Jordan, who just looks like the type of dude who spent his entire high school years fucking with dudes like Tyler Breeze, didn't know what hit him by the end. Him being so hyped about putting on a good match, him looking perplexed by Adam Pearce asking if he liked the business, and screaming "I LOVE IT," were awesome. He cares so much, and I hope he doesn't lose that enthusiasm when he gets wasted on the main roster. Carmella once again comes off as the sweetest person on earth. Too bad I have to break up with her after watching her call another man "baby" a bunch of times. I have my dignity. She just comes off as naturally endearing, which is hard as hell to do on a reality show. Apollo Crews' personality is, I smile a lot and people like me. He's going to have to bring something else out if he's going to reach his potential. He just stands there and smiles. I'd rather watch his sister make fun of his little drawls at this point. Who the fuck thinks calling yourself a Yeti is going to work? Who thinks making Chewbacca noises is going to work? Who the fuck thinks ignoring William Regal's advice is going to work? Who thinks that telling a bunch of people you have to see every day that you make more money than them is going to work? Josh, that's who.

Where is this guy when we need him?

I wonder what at what level this game stops being terrifyingly dificult when you turn the wrong corner? The inner city(why does that feel wrong, when I know it's right) parts where you can't really see what is coming around the next corner are tense as shit. I went around a corner and a Sentrybot with a skull next to it's name was standing there like a bouncer at the back door of that club you thought you could sneak into. I tried to run for my life, but it turns out that bullets are really hard to outrun.

Ok, time for my Dana Brooke rebuttal. I saw some posts that said she was disingenuous last week. I don't think people understood that they mixed interviews with the real person with promos of Dana Brooke from earlier this year. That could be seen as confusing. But I don't think she was being fake. And I'm gonna trust Sara regarding the real person behind Dana Brooke. I also saw somebody say that she cares more about looking good than being proficient in the ring. Well, she went from one job where appearance is the #1 priority to another job where appearance is in the top 3 priorities. And for her character, I'd argue it's #1 or #2. If somebody had told me months ago I'd be defending Dana Brooke today, I would have flipped. I think I'm the one who said the thing about her caring more about appearance, but I think you missed the context. I said that she came off seeming that way, but based on her work that clearly isn't the case. I was saying that this show wasn't doing her any favors. She has improved by leaps and bounds, and she couldn't do that if she wasn't working her ass off. Her segments put a focus on her doing all the cosmetic stuff with energy and vigor, but being lackadaisical and uninspired in the ring. It was more of a criticsm of how she was portrayed than it was about her as a performer.

Yeah, fantasy football is a game of skill like Russian Roulette is a game of skill. I'm in a 14 team fantasy league at my job, and I'm certain I know more than at least 12 players in the league. I'm in 9th place, even though I've scored the 2nd most points. There is no way whatsoever to play fantasy football skillfully.

Ok, I'll bite, can someone explain why people react to this woman? I haven't seen the show and I'm not following the product, but from the gifs and other little things I have seen, nothing is making my spider senses tingle, so what am I missing. The vibe I get looking at this one is wannabe Shawn Michaels.Shawn Michaels?! She doesn't look like a star to me, she looks like she escaped from Worldstar. I looked into some of her work, and I'm still not seeing anything beyond an extremely athletic tiny woman who looks like one good face punch would crumble her. The more and more I watch that clip I'm reminded of some of the wannabe's I've meet in my life. Guys that could purchase the "I'm a star" act for the night going out in the club, but weren't actually stars. If the best heel moment of the year was just cheap heat, no wonder people aren't watching anymore. Hey if she's working and making money for herself and the fed, good. But I'm just not digging it. "She doesn't look like a star to me, she looks like she escaped from Worldstar."Why did you even mention Worldstar? Because she looks like rappers on Worldstar who's projected realities are not reflective of their real life situations. They too are fake. So....who "looks like a star" to you?? Not only that, who watches wrestling(or listens to rap for that matter) looking for projected realities that are reflective of real life situations. Does Brutus Beefcake look like your barber? Do you really think gangster rappers are mass murderers? Do you think Parts Unknown is a real place? Who actually goes to Worldstar and pays any attention to the rappers? Are you Kristaps Porzingis?

Jadakiss – Shootouts: Jadakiss is like the Vince Carter of rap, if you look at the highlights you’ll think he’s one of the best ever, but if you look at the big picture you’ll see that neither have ever really accomplished anything meaningful. This is him and Styles P doing their back and forth thing. Ohio Players – Our Love has Died: I don’t think the Ohio Players get their due as a band, they made some funky ass shit. This is a low key, laid back song about heartbreak, but it is still funky as all hell. Cee-lo Green – I’ll be around: This is the rare solo Cee-lo rap song. This isn’t nearly as good as his Goodie Mob stuff, but he’s still more interesting than most rappers, too bad he doesn’t really rap much. Deuce Poppi – Go Poppi Go: I’m pretty sure I’ve never heard this before. This is basically a rap version of Go Johnny Go, and I doubt if I’ll ever listen to this again. Remember when I just said that Cee-lo is more interesting than most rappers, Deuce Poppi is less interesting than most rappers. Lil Wayne – Freestyle over Drop it Like it’s Hot: Lil’ Wayne is vastly overrated, he’s never been the best rapper alive, but he’s very good at freestyling over hot beats. This is him doing what he does best. Henry Mancini – Silver Tears: This is something you may not know about me, but I’m a sample junkie. I am probably as deep into hip-hop as anyone could possibly be, and the question I ask to judge whether or not to get into a hip-hop conversation with someone is, “What is your favorite sample?” This song is only in my collection, because it was sampled by Joey Bada$$. I spend a decent amount of time finding samples and their corresponding songs. I have a playlist with about 800 songs, that I feel is only about 1/8 of the way done. Alicia Keys – Falling: This song is really good. Even though he is not credited, I have a strong feeling that some dude named Kanye had a little something to do with putting this song together. They’ve always had a good working relationship, and the James Brown sample running underneath this is so deftly done, I have a hard time believing Alicia Keys put this all together. This came out in January of 2011, which is a few months before The Blueprint made Kanye West the producer of the decade. One of the ways producers get to be known is by giving other people credit for their work. No one credited on this song has ever shown any ability to put something like this together. The Bar Kays – Holy Ghost: The cowbell break at the 3:00 minute mark of this song should be familiar to anyone who has listened to “Hey Ladies” by the Beastie Boys. This is a funky ass song, but what did you expect from the Bar Kays. Devin the Dude – What a Job: This is a fucking great song. Devin, Snoop, and Andre 3000 rap about how much they love their jobs and why. Devin and Snoop are really good on this, but Andre MOTHERFUCKING 3000 murders this. Memphis Bleek – Control: I don’t think I’ve ever heard this, because I’m known to skip all Memphis Bleek songs. This is from a random mix from 2011, and since I do this for the people I listened to the entire song. This is a two verse song, one of them is the usual uninspired, boring ass, Memphis Bleek verse. The second is a, “I don’t give a fuck if no one listens to this, they won’t say I didn’t rap my ass off,” verse from Redman. Giving Redman a feature on your song is like giving a crocodile your hand, odds are he’ll take that shit home with him.

"Cam stole my sign, I'm going to press charges," could be translated to, "I'm a grown ass man without a lick of dignity." Did we get rid of all the cool uncles? This is one of those things you should talk to your cool uncle about just so he can look at you and say, "maybe you should stop being a bitch."

Old Man Woodson once again shows that age ain't nothing but a number. Antonio Brown, would have scored on basically anyone else.

Matt Ryan was indeed quite good. The show itself was...alright-ish? It was one of those shows that was just good enough to make you kinda mad that it wasn't better. It would be awesome if they could find a place for Ryan's take on Constantine in the CW-verse. Maybe just turn that Justice League Dark movie they keep kicking around into a TV show. I liked Constantine and Zed, just about everything else was OK, but not great. It is a show that given the time to iron out all of their wrinkles could have been good, but they didn't have that time.

So, Wrestlemania tickets went on sale today, so this seems like a time where to start trying to help people figure out what to do in Dallas that weekend. So far we know that there is going to be Wrestlecon, Supercard of Honor, two Evolve shows, Viva La Lucha, Kaiju Big Battel, Shimmer and the WWN Supershow: Mercury Rising, and most likely an NXT: Takeover. This can be a place where people can say what shows they are going to, update cards, and basically be the place where any news about the weekend can be posted.

I think that's why I got them confused, because of Blake's stop in New Orleans. Jeff Blake has to have one of the best looking deep balls ever. It just looked like the ball fell from heaven into his receiver's hands.

Am I crazy or does his voice sound completely different than he did when he was wrestling? His parents making up extra Bagwells so he can get multiple prescriptions is crazy. I can't imagine my mom making up extra family members to get me multiple Christmas gifts, let alone a bunch of drugs.

Which is not coincidentally how every wrestling school I've ever seen did it. If the main trainer was still active, yeah he'd bump too sometimes, but they'd generally have assistants or more experienced students there to help out.Yeah, I took judo in my early 20s and after about a month or two, it was essentially my job to teach breakfalls to any newbies. It is one of those things that kind of helped both me and the instructers. I needed to practice my breakfalls, and explaining it to others just reinforced everything I needed to focus on to get better. I'm 34 years old, haven't done judo in over a decade and I'm not going to be doing any breakfalls any time soon, but I'm pretty sure I could teach someone how to breakfall like I did it yesterday. Teaching is one of the best ways to learn.Taking judo in college ruined watching wrestling for my roommate and i for a couple months, because all we could see was judo moves. (Oh, thats an o-goshi) I can relate to that. I spent a good few months wondering why people wouldn't just pin someone with a kesa gatame.

Yeah, Deathclaws were terrifying when you first encounter them, but you get too strong for them pretty fast. Hopefully, enemies level up with you longer in Fallout 4.

Glowing Ones in F3 always took great pains to try to fuck up my zero death run. For some reason I always had good luck when it came to killing Deathclaws before they killed me. Is there a better moment in all of gaming than killing a Deathclaw seconds before it disembowels you? Those are right up there with Big Daddys in Bioshock as enemies you don't know whether you should run for your life or stand and fight.
