  1. People love to shit on him, but he's legit the best that ever did it. Of course we're going to disagree with a lot of what he says, there is not a single person on the planet that I've agreed with 100%. The disagreement is what makes it interesting, that is what makes his work worth discussing. That is the essence of sports writing. The best sports writiers, especially columnists, are polarizing. Most of us hate Jason Whitlock, but the reason he will always have a job is because he writes things that piss half the people off half of the time and the other half of the people off the other half of the time. The skill is having the ability to back up all of your outrageous claims in a way that makes people say, "I disagree, but I kinda understand where he's coming from." Dave is essentially the best wrestling reporter and best wrestling columnist at the same damn time. He is the #1 voice of wrestling facts and opinions, and that is a rare phenomenon in journalism.
  2. Not just you, I was thinking Corino would have to run in to save him, but he just sat there and calmly watched his son get damn near beaten to death.
  3. Has anyone told Silas Young that he wrestles the exact opposite of how he looks? If his gimmick is the last real man, shouldn't he be more of a bruiser/brawler and not kind of a flippy/finesse guy? Watanabe's gimmick of suplexing someone and then screaming "SUPLEX" to the crowd is ridiculous and has less legs than Oscar Pistorius.
  4. Chuck Blazer has decided that he is too pretty for jail, and is out here singing like the fucking Temptations. That dude isn't just throwing people under the bus, he's driving it.
  5. sigh You can sigh all you want, but he was president all those times for a reason. Those people love Sepp Blatter and would rather have him in charge than anyone else. We can sit here hand ringing and talking about how terrible Sepp and his boys are, but they made those people a lot of (questionably legal) money. Odds are Sepp Blatter isn't going to be the last dude who they'll have to indict, because the people who are voting seem to want to do business this way.
  6. No, Dragonglass and Valaryan Steel kills the "Others" which is what the books call them, the guy Jon shattered was an Other. The zombies can be killed by fire, and I'd be willing to bet that dragonglass and Valaryan steel work too. Neither the books or the show have said definitively how to kill the walkers, but I believe both the books and the shows have either shown or implied that they are easier to kill. Jon, Tormund, Edd, and Wun Wun seemed to have killed a lot of them at Hardhome, and too many people survived the fist of the first men if they couldn't kill their enemies.
  7. All Roose has to do is bend the knee, King Stannis can't be blamed if Bolton insists on being insolent. At this point you have to wonder why he doesn't. The Lannister's are clearly falling apart and are not able/willing to help Roose anyway. Roose could offer Stannis easy victory in the North and a larger army to march south with, in exchange for remaining warden of the North. It seems perfect. What am I missing? You are missing the fact that Stannis would execute him, because he wouldn't trust a man who just killed his last king. Stannis ain't one to just let shit like that slide, Roose isn't dumb enough to believe that he is.
  8. No, El Rey is broadcast in English, but Lucha Underground is shown in Spanish on one of the Univisions. I have that Univision, but not El Rey.
  9. I don't get El Rey, nor do I speak Spanish, and for some reason you can change audio from Spanish to another Spanish, but not Spanish to English on my cable. What I've seen has been good, but I don't watch from week to week.
  10. This dude just got reelected last week and proclaimed himself President of Everybody, and less than a week later he's gone. I can't wait unitl all of the details of this case come out, shit is going to be outrageous.
  11. 1. Best Wrestler: Roman Reigns has been in quite a few high profile matches, and he's exceeded expectations in all of them. He gets my vote, which has to be somewhere up there with the title run he was supposed to get. Sasha Banks Kevin Owens, and John Cena were very hard not to pick. 2. Best Match: This is probably the hardest one, but I think Ibushi vs. Nakamura is still the best. The Rumble threeway and Banks vs. Lynch are also very good. 3. Best Promotion: I haven't watched nearly enough NJPW or ROH this year to vote for this, but WWE is having a really good year in the ring. Cena's US Open Challenge has worked wonders for him as a character and the U.S. Title, and guaranteed at least one really good match per Raw. 4. Best Live Special/PPV Wrestle Kingdom 9 was awesome, but so was Wrestlemania. I think I'll pick Wrestle Kingdom 9, because it was so different and J.R. is better than JBL, Cole and King. 5. Best Tag Team/Trio: New Day went from the worst thing on TV to the best thing on TV. 6. Best Non Wrestler: Heyman is the easy choice, but Renee Young is incredibly good at her job...and Eden is incredibly good at looking incredibly good(as is Lana). 7. Best Weekly Tv Show: I'm not qualified to answer this, I only really watch Raw and I fast forward through most of that. 8. Most Improved: The New Day 1. Worst Wrestler: There are very few terrible wrestlers in WWE these days, but if I had to pick I'd choose The Ascension as a collective. 2. Worst Match: The Ascension vs. The New Age Outlaws 3. Worst Tag Team/Trio: The Ascension 4. Worst Non Wrestler: Jerry Lawler 5. Worst Live Special/PPV: Elimination Chamber, Cena and Owens was fucking great though. 6, Worst Promotion: I don't know, because I go out of my way not to watch bad wrestling. 7. Worst Weekly TV Show 8. Least Improved: Seriously have either Finn Balor or Hideo Itami had one good moment since their debuts? Balor seems to be living off of his entrance and Itami got injured as soon as it looked like he was finding his footing. I hope these guys are most improved the next time I fill out this type of list, but they really haven't done anything since joining NXT.
  12. If he gave himself the name "Lord of Bones", Tormund's actions were morally justified. In the books no one really calls him that except for him, everyone else calls him Rattleshirt. He's generally viewed as "That Guy," who thinks people respect him when they are really laughing at him. Holy shit, so he's Dwight Schrutte? Yeah, he's Dwight Schrutte if Dwight Schrutte would kill you and wear your bones as clothes. Has anyone seen Mose?
  13. There is an ipad HDMI adapter that I use to watch NJPW world and it works perfectly. I hate watching things on my computer, so it was worth spending the couple bucks on the adapter in order to watchi on my TV.
  14. The first fight was a 29-28 score, Hendricks clearly won, but it wasn't a one sided fight. If they fought again I wouldn't be surprised if it was a close fight the other way. Carlos Condit is a very good fighter who has only been stopped once since 2006 and it was because of injury. Beating him in a five round fight is going to be incredibly dificult for anyone in the world at 170. I'm not saying these dudes can't beat him, but he's competitive against everyone in the division.

  16. What the hell are you guys talking about, Robbie fucking Lawler is the Welterweight champion, if you think that Carlos Condit is an unlikely title challenger you haven't been paying attention. Robbie Lawler wouldn't have been considered a challenger 3 years ago, but in this post-GSP world no one is that much better than anyone else. In a 5 round fight, Carlos Condit is at least a serious threat to every welterweight contender. He is really good standing, more than capable on the ground, and has pretty decent takedown defense, he's not an easy win for anyone. If he was to beat any welterweight in the world I wouldn't even consider it an upset.
  17. He is also the dude who was accused of raping Lizzy Seeberg at Notre Dame.
  18. Playing devil's advocate, all those other dudes who get caught up with this bullshit get picked up all the time. Ray Rice is on the downside of his career, but would still be a pretty decent running back, especially if he's splitting carries. Ray McDonald is going to get signed again, Greg Hardy has already been signed, and the next person who gets in trouble for domestic violence will probably be signed too. To Ray Rice's detriment he seems to be the face of domestic violence. Everyone who cares watched that video, and they haven't forgot it. I don't know if he's blackballed, but I can understand why he would be blackballed.
  19. So what you guys are saying is, not only is Ron Simmons unfuckwithable, everyone knows and can vouch for the fact that he's unfuckwithable?
  20. I'd say he is much more like Stannis, except not secretly funny and minus the love for his child.
  21. Their first fight wasn't like a blow out. It was a legit 29-28 fight, and Cerrone started slow, which tends to be one of his recurring issues. I'd say odds for a rematch would be pretty close considering Cerrone's recent 8-fight run, beating Henderson, Alvarez, etc. With that said, Cerrone and Pettis have the exact same flaws. They are absolute monsters offensively, but if you pressure them and not allow them to get their offense off they can be hit. Cerrone never even tries to move his head, but people are so worried about his constant barrage of strikes they don't put the pressure on him. Even Makdessi landed a lot of solid shots before he got is face caved in. Makdessi's problem was that he tried to stand back and counter one of the most complete offensive fighters in the world. If Dos Anjos takes the fight to him like he did Pettis, I think Dos Anjos beats him fairly easily.
  22. You know your fucked when you can get the famously neutral/money laundering Swiss off their asses to come after you. I was looking at all the dudes who got charged and where they were from and I thought to myself, "Swiss, Cayman Islands, Costa Rica...These motherfuckers were stealing ALL the money." You know how much money you have to steal for them to have a problem with it?
  23. If you are talking about Chuck Blazer, apparently he snitched on everyone else and isn't facing charges. He also rented a $6,000 apartment for his cats at the Trump Towers.
  24. Casting calls have gone out, and there are some interesting character descriptions...I predict who I think they are between characters.
