  1. Um, the Horsemen got turned on, beat down, and broken up. Twice. Ole got jettisoned out of the group. Lex made a play but got tossed out. They were cast as the group outcasts. No one ever stepped up to try and take the belt from Flair. No, but they've been broken up 3 times, mostly because guys got sick of Flair, or guys left to go to WWF. And Henning turned and joined the nWo, which resulted in a huge beatdown of the Horsemen and the infamous "Liver Spot" parody promo. And even though Flair claimed Sting was "never a Horseman", he was with the group when he did step to take the belt from Flair. Don't you remember RoboCop?
  2. Um, the Horsemen got turned on, beat down, and broken up. Twice.
  3. The bigger question: Can Seth Rollins overcome the Black Hole of Heat that is Randy Orton? Or is this just a way to try and have Orton leech heat off Rollins because lets face it, no one gives a fuck about Orton.
  4. Money and power are the ultimate tools of corruption. Just keep it like that, and maybe some jealousy, and you're good to go with the explanation. So have Ambrose get corrupted instead. He makes more sense as a heel and Rollins is more sympathetic as a babyface. Or turn Reigns and make him the new Batista. They picked the turn that made the least sense of the three. That's why Rollins was the best to turn in terms of the "OMG WHAT???" factor. And that's the point of a big turn, too. The point is to make the crowd go quiet cuz it's pointless and stupid? Was I imagining the "you sold out" chants? No, you didn't imagine all 20 people chanting it for 5 seconds surrounded by dead silence for the entire beatdown and poseing at the end.
  5. While I think it makes no sense, I'll hold off totally demoaning the turn as a shitty move until it pans out a couple weeks. But "Last person I'd think turn" and "That was out of nowhere" does not automatically mean its good.
  6. And fuck it, Rusev's medal celebration was awesome. The just lacked a face to interrupt it, like Hacksaw.
  7. To be the hand-picked future star of Evolution instead of the guy who was playing peacemaker in The Shield? If Evolution didn't spend the last 3 months getting their asses kicked, it might make more sense.
  8. Honestly, as well done as the turn was, what possible reason other than "I don't want to be stuck fueding WITH Triple H forever because he can't beat us and he'll drag this out so I'll join him" is there for Rollins?
  9. Crowd was silent. Not shocked, silent. Take a note Trip, AND GO THE FUCK AWAY!
  10. Vince McMahon has to be in his glory he had an Eastern European monster on the roster right about the time Russia became somewhat evil again.
  11. I also gotta give credit to the showrunners. Pressing the Fast Forward button on Sansa's arc is a good move. Now if they follow through and we get full Sith Apprentice Sansa instead of Reluctant Student Sansa from the Books, I might like Sansa.
  12. The Unsullied Thread is so cute... And I made the mistake of watching a reaction clip video next to my wife, now she wants to see the Oberyn/Mountain fight to see what the fuss is about. I would like to sleep tonight, so I'm fighting that off. The Mrs. isn't one for violence, and that shit will scar her for days.
  13. I thought this was the week they were rolling out the "Everything for the month releases in the beginning" policy, or is that July? Only because I want Sly Cooper in addition to NBA2k14. And what's the likelyhood of them either freebieeing The Show, or discounting it?
  14. Like the Red Wedding last season, the Mountain/Viper fight was everything I wanted, and more. Yeah, that even grossed me out a bit, and that beat out Cat's bloodcurdling scream from last season.
  15. Most likely to join Villa at NYC, if my US Soccer twitter feeds are to be believed. Which would shoot NYCFC's Designated Player spots to hell before they even sign a domestic guy. (Actually, I think you start with 3 unless you buy an extra slot off a team with one to spare.)
  16. Yeah, I got all the in game mails with the starter items. Blew through the initial stocked fuel getting leveled up to Warrant Officer 4 and unlocking/leveling a few planes (like the F-16 and the F-14). But yeah, 300,000 to unlock Mission 3 when planes are 30-40k a piece is steep.
  17. Same here. One guy who I knew watched the ep last night called in sick today. I thought they'd save Tywin getting his until the end of next season, but he really will get his in a week or so. At this pace, Jon should get his stabbin' also by the end of the season. This next book better show up on shelves pronto or GRRM had better seagueway the manuscript into working screenplays. Nah, there's two episodes left this season and a TON of shit at the wall needed to get through before Jon gets perferated.
  18. Ace Combat Infinity (F2Pay PS3 game) is pretty fun. Only thing I don't like is the limit on missions/rewards you can get per day without getting microtransactioned to death buying "fuel" to fly Online missions, which is the only way to advance in the game. Campaign missions cost money to unlock, and the only way to get them is to play online, as well as the only way to level up and get more planes and gear is to play online, and you only get like, 3 fuel's per day (which you can stack for a multiplier, so you might only get one per day) unless you buy "stocked" fuel on the store. good game, better without the Microtransactions shit. I do like that online isn't vs. Player, but two squads of player competing against AI for the higher score.
  19. Because he is the one NXT call up that is making his gimmick work in front of a WWE crowd.
  20. Some screwy booking aside though, if this is the quality PPV we're gonna get because the Big Leaguers are pissed that the kids are showing them up 4 days before, then let's run a NXT PPV every damn month before a main roster PPV.
  21. Yeah but Daniel Day-Lewis is the ultimate Oscar whore. Hell, even Sean Penn occasionally does a movie that's not Oscar bait, but not DDL... Much as I love "Last of the Mohicans", it wasn't exactly Oscar bait.
  22. The Rangers match up better against the Kings than the Hawks, so its all good.
  23. The Kane/Bo/Kofi bit was "payback" for Kofi tweeting about Steph abusing her power with the Title Decision. And sadly, with how much of a heel that needs an ass kicking that Steph is, that slap is probably the most comeuppance she's gonna get.
  24. First half and the finishing stretch of that Main was fucking amazing. But FUCK that Evolution Wankfest that ate up 10 minutes and made it pretty fucking clear that the only way the Shield won was because Evolution decided to fuck around and send a message instead of taking care of business. Rest of the PPV was pretty good. Last Man Standing was way better than I thought it'd be, aside from Cena being Cena.
  25. Long as these teams beat the shit out of each other, then can play until tomorrow. The more tired the better.
