EDIT: better angle than the one posted already

Bayley broke her arm

I realize that people enjoy different things in different ways, but I'm one who thinks it's weird when someone in the middle of the crowd is just kinda standing there while almost everyone else is dancing/jumping/waving their hands in the air like they just don't care. I feel you on the metal/punk thing where being right up front equal wanting to mosh. I also pretty much hate the modern mosh pit and all the pit ninjas. I was really high if that helps any

I know metal fans are usually the most opinionated, and the ones that don't welcome new fans into the fold for some bands - but my experience at BTBAM was pretty awful. I asked a few guys if they play anything from Colors, because that's the album I know more than any from their discography and I love it. All I got were eyerolls and being ignored. Not everyone that's a few feet away from the stage wants to be involved in a moshpit, either - and I didn't get into it voluntarily. I was 3 rows from the stage, and mostly all these neckbeard (I say that lovingly, as someone who used to have one until a few weeks ago) metal types rushed forward and just started shoving everyone, mostly the people trying to enjoy the music and not have their brain being beat from one side of their head to the other. I have blood vessels in my left eye that busted because the guy in front of me wasn't paying attention to his surroundings while headbanging. Dragging girls that weigh probably 90lbs, give or take, into the pit when they're just standing there isn't cool - it's not what Bonnaroo is about. Or used to be, anyway. Enjoy the music however you want, but don't fault me for not enjoying it the way you do. Then, at Run the Jewels, I got a bunch of dirty looks and people telling me to participate because I was just standing in the middle of the crowd, enjoying the show Killer Mike and El-P were putting on for us. I don't like crowd participation, ie jumping up and down, hand salutes, etc. I prefer to just watch and listen and absorb it all. This is the first year I've ever had experiences like this, and I'm going to blame it on the overly passionate fans of particular bands they brought to the farm this year. I don't know if Kendrick Lamar played it, because fuck him, but "Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe" would have been very appropriate this year, because the newbies and (overly) passionate fans were doing just that. The newbies less so, I encountered a lot while working there, and I think most 'Roo vets just want to help them enjoy 'Roo to the fullest extent and for them to have a good enough time to where they'll be 'Roo vets in a few years.

Ended up getting off work early on Friday, and a note to self: Don't get in the pit for Between the Buried & Me. Holy shit.

Well, fuck, guess I'm buying a PS4 this fall.

Seems stupid for Lesnar to get the title at the July PPV, then lose it at the August one.

Orton does the Exploder almost every match.

Yes And going by Kris Z's count - only three guys have previous wrestling experience out of the 40 Not true. Taken from Reddit:

Punk was reacting to a tweet where Hogan fired a shot at Punk for quitting, not a televised promo on the Blackhawks. I follow Punk on twitter; he's very easy going about hockey.

Iraq War veteran with PTSD is my guess, to make it more modern.

shit just got real new logo for Daredevil, S2:

I didn't sense a swerve before, but after that "injury" bit tonight, I'm in the camp that thinks Lana will turn on Ziggler. Just seemed forced. Or maybe Lana is a bad actor. I don't know. Yeah, this show was nothing. I fast-forwarded through almost all of the show, minus the Owens/Cena and Rollins/Ambrose stuff. And the New Day matches.

At least as of 3 years ago in the deep south Dusty Wolfe was working as Doink and Mr Wrestling. Sometimes doing both and then coming out as Dusty on the same show. I was just reading about him the other night:

Fact.

shows how important it is

In other Frank the Clown news, he's all pissy on Twitter about WWE not including him on their Top 10 Wrestling Fans list on the website.

super pissed I'll be missing Royal Blood next week at Bonnaroo. I'm working traffic Wednesday night into Thursday morning and all day Friday, so I'll miss their set (3:45pm). Even if I wasn't working, I don't know if I could pick them over Between the Buried & Me, whose set is at the same time. THURSDAY: Strand of Oaks > Iceage > The Growlers > Benjamin Booker FRIDAY: Atmosphere > Run the Jewels > Flying Lotus SATURDAY: Ralphie May & Jeff Ross > The War on Drugs > My Morning Jacket > Salad Days (Cinema Tent) > Slayer > D'Angelo SUNDAY: Reggie Watts > Shabazz Palaces > Mo > Freddie Gibbs & Madlib > Caribou I'm missing so much good stuff on Friday, it's killing me. But I can't complain about a free wristband.

This entire page of the thread is really weird.

Ever since he lost to Daniel Bryan at SummerSlam 2013, he hasn't picked up a win against someone that beat him clean previously. Granted that list only includes the perpetually injured D-Bry and part-time worker Lesnar, but still. It's a good sign. I'm keeping the faith about this one.

I'm waiting on my Pentagon Jr. shirt to arrive. Got it off RedBubble, I couldn't find the official one. Maybe that is the official one. I don't know - either way, I'm excited to own it. I'm watching Fight To The Death, and I don't know about Fenix, he kinda just blends in with the rest of the lucha guys to me. But Mil.... Mil is fucking money. He's their Undertaker, but dare I say a little better? A little more cool?

For everyone saying Tyson sacrifced his career, at the moment, to get Joe over during a Superstars match: it's much worse than that. It was a dark match before the Superstars taping.

I highly doubt that'd ever happen. They shot down a potential Nakamura/Bryan match for this tour before Bryan got injured again.
