  1. Luckily, I'm on PS3. So I never had Pinnacle Station.
  2. They've been doing shorts, and they were busy working on the Twilight kickstarter deal which eventually turned into Starship Troopers. They have a new live riff of Night of the Living Dead next month.
  3. But to be fair, a lot of people are saying that he should be getting beaten down and the roster should be put in their place - just not as poorly as it's been done so far. You can agree with the story and still hate the storytelling. Specific to last night, for example, and as others have pointed out already: either book Bryan as Show's equal instead of a guy with no chance once Show starts trying to fight him, or have Show refuse to fight at all and try to lie down for Bryan. Then end RAW the same way. Still a beatdown, still stacked odds, but the faces don't look like absolute morons with no chance whatsoever. Well sure, but the MOST important thing is to never listen to people who disagree with you and respond to the point they're actually trying to make, but instead just keep repeating the same stupid pithy bullshit over and over again and then fall back on "it's a gimmick, bro!" when you get called out on it. And to make hamfisted blanket statements that perfectly encapsulate your entire worldview while seemingly lacking the self-awareness to recognize the irony therein.The point is: this angle will suck.My point is: not yet.You can whine and complain the whole time, or you can whine and complain when Show takes Bryan's spot. Why not wait until you get fucked before complaining about how painful the experience is? But a lot of people aren't saying, "the angle will suck." They're saying, "the execution so far is pretty fucking iffy, and that makes me worry about whether or not they can actually pay it off successfully." That's an entirely fair point worth a discussion, and it doesn't deserve to just get shouted down with "hyurk hyurk marks hyurk hyurk worked hyurk hyurk losers!" every week. Ignore everyone who's actually, explicitly saying it's definitely doomed and WWE is shit and no one should watch it, sure. But don' t act like every single person who disagrees with you is "whining and complaining" and making the same hivemind point. They (We) are also saying that frankly, the execution for the past year or more has been iffy with especially half-ass or continually abandoned pushes. This isn't something that just happened in the past couple weeks. This has been building for years. See Ziggler, Tensai, Punk vs. Triple H feud, etc. These are valid points, Some people, on the other hand, are so far up their ass with their gimmick that they can't partake in it.
  4. Because patience. But ignore how WWE has botched almost every other push of new talent for the past several years.
  5. Their Mutant Massacre crossover issues were the better ones as well.
  6. Not when it gets people to stop watching.
  7. That the McMahons and Triple H not be involved. Bryan dropping the belt to Orton isn't what made me quit. It's making the McMahons the top story and heel faction YET AGAIN that got me to stop. So why fucking comment on it god damn it Because he asked. Because I can. Because it causes you to have a fit each and every time.

  9. It was a cheesy Hogan promo years after people had tired of cheesy Hogan promos.
  10. God, I remember the guy from around 2004 or so who would convert Observers and Torches to friggin' .max files and e-mail them out.
  11. I will say I prefer Clay/Frank over Pearl & company, though.
  12. And FSW already has that spot sewn up.
  13. Remember, fans... It's YOUR fault that they book the same old shit to make sure nobody new gets over!
  14. It's been several years, actually. Several years of start-stop pushes. FFS, Does nobody remember the last time HHH inserted himself into somebody's hot angle? Remember how that ended?
  15. They weren't good and had negative charisma. I was pissed they were hailed as being from my hometown.
  16. To be fair, there's a giant body of water between 'em, so it's 42 miles to get from one park to the other. The Dodgers and Angels are closer than that.
  17. Thanks to Disney, we now know the true eventual holder of the Iron Throne.
  18. No. It was supposed to build to Barrett vs. Taker, I believe at WM.
  19. Ace

    Random music thoughts

    Reported via AP on Jay-Z's "Made in America" festival
  20. Morrison died last night in Nebraska.
  21. Keep in mind that Rey started at 15.
  22. As does simply existing. I'm more concerned about violence from a sober person than a drunk one.
  23. There really isn't. Staying in a toxic environment simply due to the arbitrary concept of heredity is a phenomenally bad idea. Not every family is good and worth preserving. If one needs to escape, they should.
  24. Can you? The article linked in the OP recounted that Chappelle said "Security feel free to step in anytime." So Chappelle asked for the loudmouths to be tossed and nothing happened. But according to you he should still "suck it up" because he's rich and famous, (or, let's be honest: because you're not.) The idiocy of the notion that venues should nix their single biggest profit center has already been suitably trashed. I find it amusing that you and elasticwasteband fancy yourselves smart. If security did not step in, then it is the venues fault. But you know if alcohol makes money, they should sell crystal meth, guns and fireworks to triple profits. This is one of the stupidest slippery slopes I've seen. Comedy & concert venues die without booze sales. It's a commonly known fact. Hell, getting a buzz into the crowd makes it easier for the comic to work. A well lubricated audience is a more responsive audience.
