My tastes must have changed from puroresu to lucha because I'm now getting Meet Latina Women ads on this site as much as Meet Asian Women ads.

Oh that's exactly what's happening. You could tell by the way Goldberg came out, barely mentioned Lesnar and talked about the world title without once referring to another wrestler, or even the world champion by name. I predict we won't see or hear from Lesnar between now and Royal Rumble and he'll come in and eliminated Goldberg, setting up their last match at WM. You know, they could have king-sized Kevin Owens by having him come down while Goldberg was talking about his last title run, and had Owens say something like "There's one little problem, Grampa, I'm the world champion. I'm not just going to give this title. You're going to have to take it from me." You don't even ever have to have them wrestle, but just have him stand up for himself. I think that's the biggest problem with watching Raw, is just how many missed opportunities there are at elevating/getting people over. It's not even wins/losses, it's just having guys look tougher or like they give a shit.

Hard to make new stars when these guys are writing the show: 'Membah Bill Goldberg? 'Membah Shawn Michaels? 'Membah The Undertakah?

Hey you know what, for a guy to go from Indy jobber to main roster in 3 months is absolutely amazing. Congratulations James.

The bigger problem is that Baron was taken off the team due to a leg injury that he just seemed fine now. If Baron hobbles down on a crutch and blasts both guys with it, great. Instead, he runs in and beats up two guys and instead we got an exhibition of Shane McMahon's fists of fury.

Cesaro has no one but himself to blame for that loss. If you see him tapping and don't hear the bell, why the fuck would you let go?

Yeah but if he tries to buy just one anywhere in Toronto, the crowd will insist he gets 10.

Personally, I was an angry youth who was frequently getting into trouble fighting authority and I loved big boobs. WWF RAW was perfect for me.

I would love Dr. D as Santa Claus. At the mall, some kid tells him he's a fake santa, D slaps the shit out of the kid and asks him if that was fake.

I have seen a punch exchange like above since this:

Today is the first day I haven't had a drink in years. Without a doubt this'll be a difficult and shitty 8 days.

Just trademarked/registered a shitload of board names..

There's lots of great wrestling moments in your average calendar year of WWE. Enzo and Cass' debut. AJ Styles debut (Styles wins over Cena were pretty great, too). Strowman's first squash match on Raw. Nia Jax putting Alicia Fox through the barricade. Sasha-Charlotte getting the Raw main event (Replete with Charlotte's insane moonsault). Bayley's debut on the big roster. Goldberg's return promo. Daniel Bryan's return. The Miz promo on Daniel Bryan. Yeah, you have to wade through some crap to get there. But the highpoints outweight the lows. And if they don't for you, for the love of God, it's 2016, watch something else!

I feel like this conversation happens every year whenever the first guy goes out on RAW and says they are the first guy in the Rumble. It is obviously meant to mean that they (in this case Goldberg) are the first person to announce entry in to the Rumble, not that they will be be person who starts the Rumble match in the #1 spot.

It's for the same reason I still watch current WWE despite getting almost no enjoyment out of it. I'm chasing the wrestling dragon. It might take weeks. It might even take years. But I know deep down there's going to be a great moment or great payoff that is going to make all of this worth it.

Belt? It's a championship, PAL.

Today I went back to my apartment to watch princess robot bubblegum on tv while I actually went deer hunting irl. I did this to keep the game on for a while so my plants would grow at the grow house. when I got to the garage, I noticed a TRON bike laid down in the street so I proximity mined it then went upstairs. I was getting my camo on, half listening to the tv when I heard the kaboom and looked over to see I had gotten a bite. Agreed, its the little things. I got him 7 times in a row during that before I got bored with him. I gave him a pass and the lil twat came back later and got one back on me while I was in a pause menu or something.

Don't bump for Brock? No problem, he'll just kill you.

Dude. If WHOOSHES and irony were a renewable fuel source, we could permanently convert to wind power with that press statement.

Good, fuck off. Maybe Matt Millen will cry some more. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18115641/former-penn-state-nittany-lions-players-upset-deandre-levy-comments-joe-paterno

Brock's follow up Tiger Knee from half way across the ring was sick too.

For as bad as WWE can be at times I am enjoying this past year or two way more than say post-mania 24 through Mania 29.

i luv u, lumbernerd steph

Or the time Brock got tired of his lack of ability and just potatoed the hell out of him.

The payoff has to be Triple H beating Goldberg once again to finally set the record straight that WWF > WCW and by transitive law HHH > Lesnar.

Bret's hair always got terrible after a few minutes of wrestling. By the end of Wrestlemania 12 he looked like a palette swapped Doink the Clown.

It was mentioned earlier that this show had only 5 matches. I just want to mention that I think 5 matches is the perfect amount. I can actually watch the entirety of a Takeover, whereas the standard Big 4 PPV is an absolute chore midway through.

I'm hoping for more fresh material. Coming soon, never before discussed topics: 1. Monday Night Warz! 2. NWO 3. Montreal Screwjob. 4. Mr. McMahon/Austin 5. WCW Died.

He can hold up signs like Chip Kelly only with words on them. "RUN THE BALL!"

It is pretty twisted that nothing makes me happier in this game than catching some dumb bastard in a clothing store and blocking him in with a sticky-bombed car. It's the little things.

He can't be pinned down because he doesn't know what he's doing. He's making it up as he's goes along.

"That's gotta be...that's gotta be....Cain!"

Joke's on you, I legally changed my name to The Iron Yuppie!

There was a Planes 2???

I thought Diamond was Steve Bannon and was disappointed that he was a wrestling fan, glad I was wrong that it was him (still hope he's not a fan I want as little in common with him as possible).

That's horrifying. But yeah, let's keep talking about how this election wasn't a whitelash. I take solace in the belief that these Neo Nazi "alt right" rallies are just circle jerks and that none of these ineffectual white boys will ever really do a god damn thing. They'll talk a big game and do their Nazi cosplay but then piss their pants and lock their car doors driving through "the wrong part of town." They'll head back to their worthless middle management jobs full of piss and vinegar, only to settle right the fuck down once their female CEO, minority CFO, whatever, says boo. Remember, kids: you hate most in others that which you hate in yourself. These guys all obsess over "betas" and "cucks" because they know, deep down, that they're spineless wimps and that they've already lost. In short, these are just "Remaining Men Together" meetings and maybe nothing to worry over?

Dalm bro that sucks. Hope everybody gets better quick mane. Id say my next online date will be thanksgiving. I may be the only person online. Boss lady has to work that night and im actually off so i will try to find a dot to beat with a turkey leg.

Man, I loved the Goldberg vs Brock match. For so long now I've complained that UFC is right there showing that the biggest fights can end so unbelievably fast. They don't all need to be long, drawn out affairs. And then they booked a match like anything could happen. Goldberg hits his best shots on Brock and rightly puts him away. I was fully prepared for the kick out and when it didn't happen it turned into a holy shit moment. Plus, compare this to how Daniel Bryan lost to Sheamus. While that match helped catapult DB's popularity, it was also just a giant bunch of bullshit. That match didn't make me think that "anything can happen." It just made me think that DB is subject to shitty booking. With Goldberg squashing Brock though, it really felt like anything could happen, just like so many UFC bouts that I've seen. They all don't need to be wars. Sometimes you get your best shot in, you get a CRITICAL!, and you're able to end the match fast. I don't think this should happen all of the time, but this was an example of this type of finish being used correctly. And now you go into Goldberg vs Brock 3. If Goldberg hits a spear, think of the drama that creates. Brock hits a German Suplex or an F5 and it's like, whatever, people constantly kick out of this stuff. The spear from Goldberg is nearly a death move now.

Y'all are sleeping on the fact that Ellsworth eliminated Blumpy Staticman with "these two hands"

Old school repeats from the previous thread:

Joe's personal picks.

This show is nothing if not a crazy theory generator, so let fly. There's definitely a shoe out there waiting to drop on the true nature of the Ford/Arnold relationship, but I feel like it would be delving into self-parody already if Ford were to be revealed as a host, so I hope you're off on that one. I'm very interested to see what reason they come up with as to why Ford created a host that looked like Arnold (because 100% that's what Bernard is). Was it really something as petty as just wanting to make his rival into his eternal slave?

If he starts his walk down the aisle now - he will make his Rumble entrance spot

If that's who the return is for, I'm all in.
