  1. Possible spoilers for NXT UK Takeover and someone who may or may not appear in the crowd as a new signee or something. Or it could be a coincidence.
  2. Y’all are kidding yourselves if you think the X-Men and Fantastic Four won’t be integrated into the existing MCU. There’s virtually no chance they’re left in their own little corner of the universe, that’s just not how Marvel Studios does things. Even a character they share with another studio (Spider-Man) is heavily involved in the current MCU.
  3. I got Earl Sweatshirt's album last night. Goddamnit, between Travis Scott and this, it's making it super difficult for Courtney Barnett to maintain her #1 spot on my list for the year. UGHHHH. Oh and that Tekashi 6ix9ine album is STRAIGHT FUCKIN' TRASH.
  4. I'm very confused as to why JBL is on Twitter going after Cody Rhodes (and Dusty in a few tweets). He's already deleted a few of them, like "I'd kill Cody and Dusty couldn't save him" or something like that.
  5. Desus & Mero are back in February on Showtime with a new late night show.
  6. Turns out, it was a reliable source.
  7. Yeah, I've been listening to it again the past few days and her album has solidified itself as my album of the year.
  8. This'll be shown live, worldwide, on FITE TV, according to PWInsider.
  9. I've been watching some YouTube videos of easter eggs now that I've completed the main story, and it's got me wanting to boot up a new save and try to look for some of this stuff. Things like the UFOs, time traveler, "the Devil", ghosts, vampires, etc. In particular, the UFO stuff has me excited because of the possibilities of "cowboys vs aliens" DLC in the vein of Undead Nightmare for the original RDR. That's just a small wish, though. Mexico is possible to visit if you "glitch" the game, so I'm thinking that's possible DLC too. What's weird is, you can also get back to Guarma if you glitch too - using glitches to get to an area means you aren't supposed to be able to do it. But then you get there, and in certain parts of the jungle you'll get a cutscene.
  10. I was at work, so I didn't watch, but I read the recap on Reddit - did Mandy Rose really bring up Team PCB in relation to GM Paige "always giving opportunities" to her old teammates instead of her most recent ones (Absolution)? If so, that's a nice little line of continuity, I like it. That line in the Paige promo doesn't make much sense, but it was obviously only scripted so all the faces and heels could come out and complain about that particular line to set up the battle royal later in the night. Chalk it up to lazy writing.
  11. The new ace on RAW is going to be Seth Rollins, and anyone who thinks otherwise is pretty much just kidding themselves. Balor is an afterthought at this point, Braun is (like someone else said) the new Big Show... they might be able to do something with McIntyre, but he works so much better as a heel than a face. Ambrose could be as well, but he has the same problem as McIntyre, but they're going to stifle that as well by making him do stupid skits and stuff like this week (although I remember the crowd loving face Ambrose doing wacky shit to heel Rollins years ago, so...).
  12. It’s amusing to me that no one wants to watch that Starrcade special considering last year that people lost their minds that it was a house show only.
  13. Outside of Shane/Kurt from King Of The Ring 2001, I can't really think of any matches I've seen that I really liked. Maybe Angle/HHH from the Royal Rumble 2001, but I'm really hard pressed to remember another one. Technical wrestling bores the ever loving fuck out of me, so shit like Angle/Benoit would make me want to gouge my eyes out. I dread to think what Angle in Ring Of Honor would have been like, where he could have had 20+ minute matches. Oh, god.
  14. The working theory seems to be that the unaired matches are ones likely to be on the TLC card. Nak/Mysterio, Bar/New Day, Rollins/Ambrose (obviously)... I'm curious as to how they get to Charlotte/Asuka if this theory is true, but hey, whatever.
  15. The good thing about the WWE 2K series is that it always releases close to Black Friday, and it never fails that Xbox has a sale where you can get it for way cheaper than it should be a month after its release date. I think when I got it, it was 50% off on the Xbox Live store. I'm still toying around with Universe. I'm only using the women, with R-Truth being the sole male on the roster, as a manager for Carmella. I like the division option, since I don't want Dana Brooke or Alicia Fox gunning for the top title, but I also don't like how you can't have the same worker on more than one list (IE Ember Moon can't be in the rankings for the IC title and the US title, or the IC title and the tag titles). That makes the divisions a little more thinned out, but I guess that's not a terribly bad thing. At this point, I'm using the IC as the #2 and the US as the #3 (mid and lower card workers, respectively). Velocity is my B-show, where the longer matches happen (since I have it set to have 4 matches, and the main Evolution show to have 6 so I do the momentum accordingly). My only other complaint(s) about Universe so far: the Royal Rumble show didn't have a women's Rumble match added - I had to do it manually. So I'm wondering if Charlotte is going to get that automatic winner's rivalry with whoever the champion ends up being come WrestleMania. I set all my titles to vacant at the start, and simmed my way to the Royal Rumble. Only one champion had been crowned (Mickie James as the US champion). Which kind of annoys me, since that was MONTHS of in-game time and only one title had a champion by January. So I went in and manually added champions to each title. Is that how it's going to be for future Universe modes, or is there a way to get the AI to eventually have title matches when it's vacant (other than editing a match and making it a title match)? Oh, and not related to anything Universe mode, but - man, fuck having download limits. I hated it when they introduced it whatever year that was, and I still hate it. Having 20 slots open every 24 hours is annoying as fuck. But good lord did I find some really good Rhea Ripley, Xia Brookside, Io Shiari and other Mae Young Classic CAWs tonight. I found a really sweet Aja Kong and Bull Nakano, too.
  16. Apparently Ringside News has no sense of irony, since whoever runs their Twitter account posted some anti-semitic stuff about WWE a few years ago.
  17. NXT started to tour outside of Florida in March of 2015, and that's the same year they moved the Takeover events from Full Sail for the first time. Nakamura didn't even enter the picture until a year later. They had draws before Nakamura showed up. NXT itself was a draw, everyone wanted to see the talent on that show. They had Balor, Samoa Joe, Sami Zayn... everyone wanted to see their women's division live, and the tag team roster at that time was pretty hot too.
  18. Honestly forgot that happened. I'd say the best thing that happened to his career was becoming the commissioner, not performing in a dumb comedy skit. But, hey, each their own.
  19. So what you’re saying is that Spud has never seen WWE comedy before, in that case.
  20. I hate to double post, but it came out yesterday that Rocket and Groot might be another mini-series that’s on Disney+. For those keeping track, it’s now supposedly: Loki, Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, Winter Soldier/Falcon and Groot/Rocket.
  21. For what it's worth, and I know some don't take his word to heart like others, but Meltzer said this week that the Roman stuff isn't going to stop and it's a Vince directive.
  22. Looks like that promotion with Jericho, Jim Ross, The Elite and the son of the Jacksonville Jaguars owner might actually be real. Maybe?
  23. Tekashi 6ix 9ine is facing 25 to life on RICO charges. Ebro has always been right about this kid, but it's still sad. Apparently the NYPD and the FBI tried to tell him that before the end of the year he'd be dead or in prison if he didn't turn things around, but he didn't want to believe them. Pusha T's Toronto concert got a lil' wild, with people throwing beer at him then rushing the stage and getting into a fight with his crew (Push had smartly ran off stage before they bumrushed the stage). Then this motherfucker came back out after all of that, and performed Infrared (and a few other songs). Wild. Aaaand to wrap this all up, Earl Sweatshirt has released two songs off his new album, "Some Rap Songs". He's giving me some serious MF DOOM vibes as of late.
  24. The current rumor is Black Friday.
  25. Tamina is a top heel on the flagship show and she gets crickets when her music hits. That's crazy that she's being put into that position and nobody even cares about her. And she sucks in the ring too.
