    Brock will drink your milkshake.  Hogan already drank your milkshake yesterday and will convince you to buy him an ice cream factory and then he'll have sex with your wife while you're making the ice cream.

    On the brightside, while I'm getting him ice cream, he'll probably be saying some super racist shit that I'm secretly recording and can blackmail him with later.

    I would love to see ADR and Paige on Kitchen Nightmares once his restaurant starts to go downhill.  They might be better than that lunatic couple in Arizona.

    Paige: THIS IS MY HOUSE! Seriously Gordon, we had to sell our house and now we're living in the restaurant. Please help us turn things around.

    Now do Osprey and Pagano. 

    Ospreay is like Oasis if the Gallaghers had feuded with Ozzy for no reason instead of Blur.

    Marty Scurll is like Primal Scream. Sort of interesting and fun but is so obvious in it's influences that it's ultimately shallow, despite trying to create something unique and modern.

  5. I'm starting to think that Sabre Jr isn't meant for people who are as passionate and well versed in wrestling as most people here are. I imagine when someone here sees Sabre work, the thought process consists of "Of that's cool, Johnny Saint did that spot. That looked like a Jim Breaks move. Neat" while when someone who hasn't watched the 70s WoS stuff (ie isn't old as fuck like we all are) they think it's really revolutionary and cool. 

    He's a really good Beatles coverband, playing mostly to an audience who has never heard a Beatles song before.

  6. I mean his thought process, in that split second, was probably like "If Watt falls down and gets up and gets a sack and I stand here like a fool, that shit will be on Sportscenter like 100 times"

    Yeah i loved the Dreamcast game. One of the first games i picked up for that console. I've still got it around here packed away. Never did get to play the PS2 game since it didn't get a UK release so i don't know how well that one fared.

    In case you haven't seen, Griffith, Guts, Casca, Judeau and Schierke are all confirmed as playable characters and there are screen shots of battles from basically every arc.

    Blair Witch is only 58% Fresh.  Yikes.

    Unfortunately, it will still probably make a lot of money.

     

    I'm not saying that it's going to be good or anything, but multiple reviews seem to ding it for not being as inventive as the original. That's an awful steep curve. I'm not in love with the Blair Witch Project, but criticizing a movie for not being as innovative as a film that literally jump started an entire subgenre is harsh.

    I don't know if it's intentional but Miz v. Dolph just proved again that you can work a relatively safe match (for 2016 anyway) and still draw the entire crowd in and it's every bit as dramatic and effective.  I don't think we are seeing the genie put back in the bottle or anything, high risks are here to stay but I would love to see more of this. 

    Do we think it was intentional?  I feel like maybe it was

    The Miz/Dolph match got the crowd so hyped they popped for Kane like it was 1999.

    Agreed on this year's mentions for Miz; I think he's certainly on the best run of his career. And perhaps I'm overstating my case here? It's not that I've ever felt he's bad--quite the opposite, I've seen him as an eternally competent heat magnet who then works consistently acceptable matches. There's tremendous value in that! I just feel the "actually, he's been a great worker for years" argument might by hyperbole the other direction. But anyway, I'm glad he's doing the work he's presently doing. Whoever beats him is going to get a massive bump.

    I think the discussion may be a semantic issue as well. Perhaps when people are saying "Actually, he's been a great worker for years", they don't necessarily mean he has hundreds of hidden gems, but instead that he has wrestled in a way that has allowed for his partners and opponents to be more over after feuding with him than they were going in. On some level, that's the definition of a good worker. 

    Wrestling fandom is historically slow to change an opinion, and I think the pendulum swinging too far is a natural reaction to a decade of "The Miz is the worst guy on the roster, Dolph Ziggler is being held back by politics" talking points. Hyperbole is the currency of the IWC, and sadly is one of the only ways to get people to even address a point. No one would change their minds on The Miz if we went around and said "hey guys, the Miz is pretty good".

    I hope this doesn't derail the thread, but: For those arguing Miz has been an overlooked great in-ring talent for years now, what matches should I seek out? I'm not trying to argue the point exactly, but I can't recall a singles match of his I'd consider better than "pretty good", much less worth watching a second time. He was great against Ziggler--who I don't think is that bad--but I don't remember him being in anything significantly better, off the top of my head. (I've watched WWE for his entire run, so it's not for lack of viewing.)

    He's had a bunch of fun TV matches this year, but prior to that the best stuff was the Lawler match and a bunch of US Title stuff with Morrison and Bryan. They all had really good chemistry.

  13. The Browns are pretty clearly tanking, and RG3 wasn't going to help them win games even if healthy. This is probably the worst roster they've had ever, including the expansion year. They took a flier on a dude who had one great season, and it didn't work out. 

    The number of articles published today about how the Browns should've taken Wentz are staggering. People are dumb.

    I had the same thoughts last night.

    Also, unrelated to that... something that irked me about Mauro's call last night.

    Nattie goes for the sharpshooter, and Mauro's all "THE SHARPSHOOTER RIKI CHOSHU AEKJBDAFRAFFV~ .....Bret Hart".

    I know it's nitpicky on my part. But I feel like if you're gonna namedrop somebody on a Sharphooter, in the WWE, shouldn't Bret come first?

     

    I thought that was less egregious than Otunga making his first ever good point about Miz doing the knee stomp out of the surfboard spot to mock Bryan and Mauro stepped all over him just to say more Japanese names. He is actively more interested in saying names than he is in people getting over a narrative.

     But I think it's time people started to come back around on Ziggler. He's really great at selling and comebacks and making others look good in losing. 

     

    Dolph Ziggler is great at exactly zero of the things you listed.
