No, we talk more like Foghorn Leghorn.

Oh I member. Member Goldberg? Oh I member. Member The Rock? I member.

Speaking of potential Rumble main events....

I'm getting too old for this Sith.

In order to kill your husband, cleverly stage it as a suicide, obtain all his money and get off scot free from the justice system you need certain qualities: 1) High intelligence 2) A focused, clear mind 3) An ability to keep you mouth shut. Courtney Love has literally none of these qualities, bro. Not to mention: if your husband is a suicidal heroin addict, is there much point to arranging his murder? I mean, he's gonna do it himself anyway. Why risk it? For the record, I know this has nothing to do with wrestling, but it's a subject I've always felt strongly about.

AJ vs HBK: God on a Pole Match

This whorehouse I bought only has room for 6 whores, I need a 10 whore whorehouse.

That's a set-up line for something horrible.

We have found a demographic Stout can dominate - 10 year old boys

You're not the target audience for NXT, Gregg. People who are aware of the Nakamuras and Roddy Strongs are. And yes, I know that this is different than how it was in 2013 NXT, but 2016 NXT might not be for you if you're not the type of fan that follows the indies and Japan enough to know these guys who come over.

You don't want to see The Babadook fart and then get hit by a poorly CGI'd bus? I guess there's no accounting for taste.

To bring it back to the wrestling topic: Dixie truly is just a brat and all-around awful person. Even now it's not about the company or the wrestlers or what's best for everyone; it's about her. Check out what Jesse Sorensen had to say about her after his accident: Jesse's mom: "I'm worried about my son..." Dixie: "You mean 'our son.' She later refused to pay his medical bills, let the mom go bankrupt because of them and fired Sorensen from his office job. I don't want to use the term "psychopath" but,um, well,...

Those are the Jabbawockeez! They don't work here!

Has to be the funniest part, because that is EXACTLY the kind of shit regular people -- not even supposedly professional companies -- do when they owe money on a rental and split town. Wonder if Dixie changed her phone number, too.

You mean you don't appreciate her superb delivery of "I thank sumthin dun bounced up into mah undercarriage."????? Thanks Jessica, because we all talk like Colonel Sanders down here...

Remember Vic Grimes as a coke dealer? Pepperidge Farm remembers. Wait...wrong thread.

Member when Michaels superkicked Daniel Bryan and we thought that's a match that might actually happen?

Do you have any facts to back up your theory that if you screw AAA it'll effect your standing in LU? Let me present the other side... Sexy Star left AAA on very messy terms, AAA tried to get LU to stop booking her, Sexy Star is still employed by LU & in fact goes over AAA talent on future episodes. Jack Evans is currently not working any AAA shows & may or may not be on his way out, he is still employed by LU & working the upcoming house shows. Fenix quit AAA, is still employed by LU & has openly stated they said he could leave AAA with no LU ramifications. Pentagon Jr. has told AAA his US bookings take priority leading to him missing many AAA major shows including Heroes Inmortales, he's still one of LU's top stars with no plans of that changing. PJ Black asked LU if he could work ELITE (AAA's opposition in Mexico) at Arena Mexico, LU said they didn't care. Dorian Roldan went on twitter and posted LOL emoticons when PJ said he was working the ELITE shows, told the media it wouldn't it happen. PJ worked the shows & LU tapings afterwards without issue. I could go on but I'll stop here and let you explain to all of us where exactly screwing AAA has negatively effected anyone in this "partnership". You're also wrong about the cable thing when it comes to Canada beacuse they have a prime time slot on a non-pay TV channel here. The show is still in season 2 but will be all caught up by the time season 4 begins & ratings are apparently excellent which is why they got moved to the good time slot.

I think the more appropriate reaction would be this:

I just watched the first half of PWG BOLA night 3. Mind = blown. Castle! Riccochet! Cody! Sabre! bastard heelmode Scurl!!!!!!!!!!! I want to press charges against PWG for stealing the rest of my evening.

He said he was six and he sounded six. Some other guy on the game chat was like "dude, no way this guy's six, he's trolling you." Me: "Don't care." (Explodes dot for 100th time)

I gave up at the neverending Owens/Zayn parenthetical.

I just got out of a room where I chased some dot all over the map because he (and his little sister) pissed me off on the game chat. I dunno how they did it - whether it was two different mics somehow or (most likely) a really good-sounding Kinect connection - but the guy was on the chat at the same time his little sister (probably about 8-9) was singing horribly the entire time. I tracked him down and just began wearing him out with the sniper until he messaged me "please stop." So I messaged back "stop singing." He then told his sister to hush (that's how I figured out it was two of them and not one kid), which she managed to do for about 2 minutes before starting again. So I kept chasing him and killing him. He joined a motorcycle club, I plunged into the four of them and was just laying people to waste except for one dude, who knew his stuff. The kid I was chasing had an incredible knack for being about 500 steps in front of me at all times, and I got tired of chasing him. So I feel like I failed at my objective, which was to teach the kid that the only ones who do any singing while playing GTA is us.

It is crazy how good the casting was in that shitty ORIGINS movie was, though. They went 2 for 3 on the big roles, only missing on Taylor Kitsch as Gambit. Schrieber and Reynolds were 100% the right guys...just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I don't necessarily want a new gimmick for each new guy making the leap to NXT. I get there are reasons why guys want to keep their names and existing characters. I'd absolutely prefer for them to have a new everything because that's more fun to watch. But I get why Joe wants to remain Joe. But just debuting people as a new shock partner or "I CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S HERE!" is so dumb. I have no idea who Roderick Strong is. I know him in passing. But I don't watch indies or TNA. Any form of storytelling needs to assume the audience does not know w.ho this new person is. I don't. Why should I care? I really loved the Bobby Roode debut. That was so great. His introduction let me know who he is and what he stands for (on top of it being a great slow-burn heel promo). Or KO's debut was great. There was some build to him coming in so I know his name and he's a prizefighter. He has his first match. And then he turns on Sami who they established as his best friend. Perfect. The Jericho debut in the 90s was also perfect. I knew who he was because I watched both shows and ECW. But you can't assume everyone knows. He comes out, interrupts the rock, and gave a wonderful delusional promo about his self-importance. Boom. A strong debut is so important to getting and keeping someone over if they're billed as being from somewhere else. Some guys can just show up and not have a great debut and have it work. Samoa Joe had a "WHAT IS HE DOING HERE???" thing to prevent KO from injuring Sami. It was sorta lame. But his character slowly built up and now he's the star of the show pretty much. But Austin Aries? He didn't have anything too great. He showed up and Corbin took him out. There was nothing early on to establish who he is, his motivations, etc. I still give zero craps about him. Someone from the indies/TNA showing up unannounced at Full Sail is the new cheap pop. It's so lazy. I'm glad everyone at Full Sail knows who these dudes are but it's super lame and boring if you don't.

Look at who is running for president from the GOP and the people willing to vote for a guy with that record. People are dumb. I've never heard anyone outside TNA people say they were major league. Just because someone drives a Rolls, don't assume they have the class to match the taste. The excuse is they don't have to so they don't. That's how business works, profit over people. It sucks, but that's how it goes. My old man died because his job got tired of covering his medical cost (pre obamacare time frame). It sucked but it was a lesson I didn't miss and now I know a bit more about how the world goes. Only you are truly going to take care of you. Also, it's wrestling. A scummy as fuck business full of people doing shaddy things. Since when were promoters know for honesty and integrity?

Noooooo......Money!!!!!!

MAKIN' THEIR WAAAAAAYYYYYY~! THE ONLY WAY THEY KNOW HOW~!

I know I've heard about 60% of these quoted in game chat.

Whatever you think of Tyler Perry, and I always found the stage plays of Madea to be pretty hysterical, God Bless the man for continuing the basic human necessity of dropping a Halloween or monster themed movie into a franchise. Abbott and Costello salute you, sir. Earnest salutes you, sir. Ok, those are the only two I can think of. But I would classify this in the same category as something like Elvira: Mistress of the Dark. You know it's going to be terrible but it's HALLOWEEN FILTERED!1!!!!

That is sorta meta though. Heenan only becomes a sympathetic heel when you factor in what a douche that Hogan was in real life. Heenan being driven by success is a very admirable quality, but he was completely ruthless in pursuing his goals to the point where he even resorted to turning Hogan's friends against him (the Andre the Giant heel turn made kids weep) just for the chance to manage a World champion. It was always a good thing when Hogan prevailed over a Heenan challenge to the title.

I've always loved these crap on TNA threads. Now that we can freely work in 90s alternative rock conspiracy theories just makes it that much better.

Do what TNA did

Ah, we got our wires crossed. I was talking about the "To Serve Man" reference. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_Serve_Man

Like this?

From the other "sympathetic heels" thread and bumping to separate them: The last posts realized a good recent one: Batista turning heel on the road to Wrestlemania. Batista got to come back- he wanted the title all along. He never denied anything beyond that- the guy just wants to be World Champion and always has been. He won the Royal Rumble...but at the same time, it's not HIS fault the fans preferred Daniel Bryan over him and wanted him to be World Champion. Batista didn't exactly go to HHH and tell him not to put Bryan in the Rumble so he could win, he didn't beat down Bryan so he couldn't be in the Rumble...he just was entered into the Rumble match and happened to win the match, but fans wanted someone else instead and turned on him solely because he wasn't the guy they wanted.

...and you call that the tractor story?

Loved the opening seg with Cody and Eddie then Lashley leading in to Lashley/Moose. Lashley still comes off like the man all throughout the show. Great main event scene with a variety of guys mixed in. Fact of Life was funny, the Dummy button always rules and ended with a good chaotic brawl. I was thinking last week I kinda liked the Tribunal's generic theme, now this week they get a new one. Didn't like that Cody's theme got slower, thought the first version was better. Tribunal looked their best yet here with a fun tag against the Broken Hardys. Fun Maria/Allie segment. Allie is the best. DJ Z/Spud segment was a pretty good little set up for a match. Enjoyed the main event, had a nice big match feel and some solid hype throughout the night. Mostly good stuff all around, another solid Impact.

There are several possible interpretations, all of which nauseate me strangely...

What the fuck did I just read?

.... and at least three or four bad runs. ... and a couple indy appearances after he really is crippled.

Especially after people start duplicating horses.

If he ever wins a match, he was to get on the mic and say "Game: Blouses"

Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad and now as Freddy Krueger from The Nightmare on Elm Street. I did see a photo of Bliss as the latter in NXT recently.

Once people accept that SDL is a wrestling show and RAW is a night time soap opera with wrestling as a means to an end for their out-there stories, the better.
