  1. Remember in the 80s how Hogan never wrestled on TV? He was always positioned as the biggest star, but you had to buy a PPV (or a ticket to a house show) to actually see what the fuss was about? I think they've decided to go back to that for some reason.
  2. I would absolutely take 2006 Brock to beat 2006 Hunt. Maybe even 2011 Brock to beat 2011 Hunt. But the 2016 versions? Hunt all the way. Unless something weird happens, like happens in fights smoetimes.
  3. Well, you'd know. You are the board's expert on that.
  4. Baron Windhammer was a name I used for a recurring NPC in D&D all the time. One of my friends, although he liked DM'ing, he once let slip that he hated thinking of names, especially if he had to do it quickly. So every time he DM'ed, we would always go to the nearest city and walk around asking NPCs what their names were. We met a lot of men called Amman, who seemed to marry a lot of women called Awoman. And also the legendary Ofuk the Barbarian.
  5. Apparently what the WWE wants back off the UFC for lending them Brock, is Paige VanZant at Summerslam. Not Ronda Rousey, not Conor MacGregor, but Paige VanZant. Is Dancing w/ Stars still that big a deal over there? Also, how are they going to avoid getting her confused with the Paige they already have? Is the former Britani Knight going to suddenly grow a surname in the next two months?
  6. Apparently the first season is supposed to be a prequel to the actual story, and season two (if it happens) is going to be where the actual plot starts.
  7. She's a big fucker and she's tough to kill? No, wait, that's the Hound.
  8. Days of Future Past had the Rogue cut. Apocalypse will have the Mall cut.
  9. Between Bisping, Cruz and Cormier, it seems 'taking a desk job' ((c) Urijah Faber) is a great way to prepare for a World Title victory. Aljamain Sterling next champion?
  10. The day after UFC 200, this guy is going to be really pissed off if he didn't get shown in the broadcast as a celebrity in attendance:
  11. My Arya theory: The girl who got stabbed is fake Sansa from the play. Actual Arya put her own face on fake Sansa without her realising, and that's why 'Arya' was being so open in public with her movements (and didn't have Needle with her), and why she was trying to buy passage back to Westeros (because she's running away from the theatre now everyone knows she tried to have the leading lady poisoned).
  12. Not very much. For the early years of his career he was a pure kickboxer guy who had no grappling to speak of, which led to him losing six fights in a row between 2006 and 2010. Since then, when he really became a well-rounded MMA fighter (or at least got good enough at grappling to survive until he could start hitting again), he's 7-3-1, with the 3 losses being to the current Champion (Stipe Miocic), the previous Champion (Fabricio Werdum), and Junior Dos Santos (who had just lost the title; His match with Hunt was a winner gets next title shot match).
  13. Hasta la Vista is a great game mode,that people would have loved if it hadn't come out at the exact same time as Heists did.
  14. Bogo? All these years and they're still getting the 'F' out. Isn't Buy One Get One just how regular shops work, with things that aren't on special offer? Now Buy One Get One FREE, that's a multibuy right there.
  15. Why is it that in the show, whenever anyone writes a letter, they always sign in, leave it flat and then stick a seal at the bottom of the page? That's not how it's done - especially if you're then intending to have it couriered by bird. It'd be flapping about it the air, probably tear in half before it got anywhere. God forbid if it rained. No, roll the letter up, fold it tightly, pour the wax on where the edge of the page meets the fold and then press your seal into it. That way whoever receives it knows who it came from (and that nobody else has read it since it was sealed). You'd think someone working on the show would have asked why seals were called seals. If it might be because they're used to seal things, for example.
  16. HHH would have altered the main event formula instead. It's the only way he could ever have a decent match.
  17. What move is he actually supposed to be doing there? Because it looks like he set up for a Bodyslam, then jumped off and took the bump himself feet-first, without actually slamming the guy (or indeed, putting him through whatever that stack of crap was) at all.
  18. Newcastle United banned every newspaper except the Daily Mirror for a few weeks (including both Newcastle local papers, for several months). Both Stoke City and Port Vale have banned the Stoke Sentinel for a few weeks in recent years. In the Nigel Pearson era, Leicester were ban-happy. Leeds United banned the Guardian for asking who owned the team. Most big-name managers in the Premiership will have banned certain reporters, if not necessarily every reporter for any given publication.
  19. WWE already has a Super Samoan, they don't need two.
  20. You (and they) might not care if Mir pissed hot, but the Nevada State Athletic Commission probably would. And they have a bit more of a say on things, really.
  21. If Vick had somehow survived that first round, Dariush would have been knackered for the rest of the fight. Not that Vick would have had much left either. Hell of a finish though. Maybe it could have been stopped while he was doing the wobble board dance, but that ref was probably put off from the early stoppage by being distracted by his epic moustache or something.
  22. Pezao shouldn't be fighting, I agree. But if there was a payday like that one the table, it would make sense (fighter sense, not actual sense) to take it.
  23. There aren't that many easy fights for Brock in the current UFC heavyweight division. Bigfoot Silva maybe, or somebody else who should have retired a fight or two ago.
  24. If Miller vs Caceres isn't Fight of the Night, this is going to be a fantastic show.
