Understandable but funny nobody helped out The Miz.

 

His own FATHER didn't terribly care that much.

Miz's father looks like the kind of guy that makes cheap low budget slasher films, and white trash porn on the side.

 

He looks like the guy who runs the nearest comics shop to me, so yeah, I agree.

Titus Young would have wrecked everyone's shit and then been found backstage asleep in a dumpster. They should do a gimmick like that where a dude is physically great at the pro wres and on his day can beat anyone, but is a known idiot who can just as easily be found in the wrong building feeding stray cats Oreos.

They did that already. He was called Eugene. 

As far as Raw goes, I'm all in on the Titus bandwagon. I really want him to get made into a star from this whole angle.

I think the "This is more JCP than Attitude Era" explains why I love this so much. I also don't feel sleazy for liking the post-SummerSlam reset. There's no cursing or attacks on women. And the violence the heels of had is great deception. The nastiest stuff has been a kendo stick attack on Punk, The Shield doing some powerbombs, Randy hitting the RKO, Big Show flattening someone with a punch and Randy Orton Pillmanizing Miz's skull. It all looks great but they're really protected spots -- there's no elderly women being put through tables or anything of the sort.

 

It LOOKS brutal but it's all playacting. The reactions and dread and seriousness everyone is playing these things with has been fantastic. JCP did this, too. The angle everyone remembers the most was The Horseman rolling Dusty in the parking lot. They blurred out the part where they broke his hand -- they obviously edited around it.

 

The B and C stories have also been solid-to-great. The Punk/Heyman stuff would be the best angle of the year if it wasn't happening the same time the best angle of the decade was unfolding. ADR's really capable of having good matches and being a general jerk against guys like RVD. The divas, at the least, have been compelling because of AJ. The comedy dance-off stuff w/ Fandango is dumb but it's good for kids and is far from the worst humor they've ever done.I think the unsung hero of the post-SummerSlam stuff has been Michael Cole. He's been awesome at just telling the stories and serving as the audience proxy, selling disgust and admiration right when it should be called for. JBL's great at being a heel announcer spin jobbing.

People here Bitch & Moan too much lately, When was the last time both Raw & Smackdown been consistantly good week to week longer than a month,. the last few wrestlemania seasons havent been near as good up and down the card. the past 3 years I've gotten more excited for summerslam that i have for Mania

Miz KOs bad genetics.

He put all of his character points into appearance Charisma instead of talent Dexterity.

 

 

Damn it.  Nerd better.

 

Depends on the game system, we talkin D&D derived? GURPS? Fate? WoD?  Home brewed larp?

 

 

 

Shit!  You called me out on that!  

Which one was "The Keep on the Borderlands"?

Keep on the Borderlands or B2, was for Basic D&D, so 4 editions and nearly 40 years of Strength Dexterity Constitution Intelligence Wisdom and Charisma.  Depending on the version of Basic, there might of been a Comeliness Stat (appearance)

Am I the only one who thinks Dusty's choice was actually pretty easy?

 

Of course he should have picked Cody. He was the one who had the job in the first place. That was the whole reason Dusty was there.

 

Theoretically Cody's a strapping young man who has plenty of earning potential while Dustin is a washed up drunk who can't hold a job because Dusty was a horrible father who ruined his childhood.

I just finally am watching Raw and Paul Heyman had another GREAT promo this week. I loved the one last week with him trying to get out of the match, and then he might have topped it this week with the gloating and the kiss at the end. I'm really interested to see where this pairing with Ryback goes, although I hope it doesn't put an end to Ryback being the Biff Tannen of WWE.

I like Fandango but he's never paired with anyone I care about and thus is almost always fast forward material for me too. I mean Fandango is stuck wrestling Miz and R-Truth most of the time, I'm not watching that even if I do like the guy.

 

EDIT:Oh and Michael Cole says that Randy Orton sent Miz to the hospital, not a medical facility, during Orton's entrance before the main event. I wonder if he had to go backstage and write "superstars go to medical facilities and not hospitals" 100 times after the show.

If Fandango came out to the Benny Hill theme I would definitely not fast forward anymore.

 

The thing is, if he came out to the Benny Hill theme, then he would already be moving super fast.  So if you fast forwarded that...well...have you ever fast forwarded Benny Hill?

 

If you do, it actually ages you a few days per minute.  Don't play around with time stuff.

Orton still grosses me out and I'd rather Stephanie McMahon weren't on my TV, but that was a great show.  I hated that "Virgil" shit, though.

 

As for talk about how Steph gets her comeuppance:  Sure, as soon as Vince joins Team Bryan.  Daddy puts daughter in her place.  Or yeah, someone just drops some poo from the ceiling or something.  

 

I really, really, really wish Ryback would lose the phony mannerisms, because I love his bully character.  But all that licking and neck cracking just looks so bunk, it takes me right out of the character.  Just "turn it up", man, quit faking it.
