On the plus side, Earth is eight light minutes from the sun, so that gives us a full eight minutes and change to get some reading in.

Mark Henry is not a jobber.

To be fair, he was kind of an idiot.

Probably.

That's probably why he adopted him.

He was out there to break Cody's arm, but the presence of the rest of the face locker room made that awkward, so he just went along with the celebration.

I love how relaxed Brodus looks in this picture.

I'm confused by this one, but probably wouldn't enjoy the explanation.

That looks like the strangest political cartoon ever.

You think? I wouldn't think the number of wrestling fans who are into wrestling video games is all that huge, and surely most people who played the game never looked at the move lists.

Okay, but being better at making games still doesn't necessarily make one a master taxonomist.

I'm not sure I accept Yuke's as an expert in wrestling nomenclature.

So a regular dropkick off the top is a "missile dropkick", but a Stampede dropkick off the top is a "top-rope dropkick"? That doesn't make much sense.

Why do we say "missile dropkick", anyway? Why isn't it just a "top-rope dropkick", like every other move off the top rope? Missile dropkick is when you turn to the side and a regular flying dropkick is when you land on your ass. That would suggest Holly's dropkick was in fact a missile dropkick, then.

Why do we say "missile dropkick", anyway? Why isn't it just a "top-rope dropkick", like every other move off the top rope?

R-Truth on a PPV poster in 2013 doesn't make enormously more sense.

See, I was thinking that the guy who beat Bryan in 18 seconds would be a logical choice for HHH to recruit. And a heel turn wouldn't do Sheamus any harm at this point.

How long is Sheamus supposed to be out, anyway?

The Nexus storyline didn't peter out. It ended when Cena beat Barrett at TLC.

I wish somebody had at least told him that other strategy board games existed. I'd have liked to have heard how wrestling was like a human game of Hey That's My Fish.

That, and to the way the babyfaces never took advantage whenever HE FUCKING HID BEHIND HER.

Protectiveness? He used Elizabeth as a human shield all the time.

That was my first time seeing Davey Richards wrestle, and I have to say, I was expecting more of an epic clusterfuck.

I don't remember exactly when I stopped believing. I know as a kid I took the pragmatic view that it was fake whenever the guy I liked lost.

Antonio Cesaro as champion of the United States?
