I think saying that there was never a loud Goldberg chant for Ryback is a little ridiculous because in the early days of his push, he would receive loud Goldberg chants that the production crew tried to drown out by piping in "Feed Me More" chants.

He did, but I was thinking more of wrestlers wearing masks and ring gear that resemble old school wrestlers and then part of their moveset is a tribute to that wrestler.

Is there any chance baseball cards from the 80s could have any value, or should I just start converting that massive collection of baseball cards in my basement into crafts?
Only if you get them professionally graded by PSA and they come back a 10. Commons from 1986 Topps in PSA 10 condition can sell for well over $100 on Ebay. Superstars like Nolan Ryan sell for well over $3000. The reason for that is that 1986 Topps is extremely condition-sensitive.
In general, though, no, they're not worth much. Especially if you're talking 1985 or later. 1984 and earlier, really only the top rookies (Ripken, Boggs, Mattingly, etc) are worth anything.
Huh, well, the three bottles of Mod Podge doing nothing in my house are about to find a use. I have an old coffee table I've been trying to re-surface. I wonder if I can Mod Podge the cards onto the surface and then pour a thin coat of clear resin over the top.

I think Batista was the closest surefire guy they had. I'm hoping Reigns eventually receives a similar push.

My friends and I were convinced Rikishi would be a surefire World champion. He was over like crazy and was awesome in the ring. He wasn't too good on the mic, but whatever.

I still collect Magic: the Gathering cards since I still play on a casual level. With every new set I'll try to predict where the market is going to head on certain cards so I can try and get in on the ground floor before I card skyrockets up to $80+. I've been collecting since Revised too, but unfortunately I had a setback where someone broke in my car and stole my bad of cards. I had 4 pieces of the Power 9 in that bag, along with some dual lands too (Mox Ruby, Mox Emerald, Ancestral, and Time Spiral). Since then I've rebuilt my set nicely, except I'm about to sell a bunch of expensive cards off that I never use.

Wow, the first thing that came to mind when I saw that article was Captain Barbosa in the first Pirates movie. His character was sooooooooooooooo good, partly because Geoffrey Rush is the shit, but they focus so much on Depp, Bloom, and Knightly.

Goddammit, that just made me even sadder.
I just finished watched FF6. It was as awesome as I expected it to be. And while Paul Walker is a huge loss, the franchise can move on without him. There isn't any kind of cliffhanger at the end of 6 that demands his return in 7. They should just find someone else to take his spot and I know just the guy.
He's the actor I used to hate, but now watch anything he's in. Yeah, that's right motherfuckers.
Channing Tatum.

Good point. I just hope he's actually healthy.

I'm in favor of more face painted maniacs as well. Just think, at one point you had the Powers of Pain, Demolition, Road Warriors, Ultimate Warrior, and others running around.
Now the standard bearer for face paint is fucking Jeff Hardy. That shit has got to change.

I have no knowledge of lucha, but does anyone do a gimmick where in costume and name, they're playing a tribute to retired, popular wrestlers? That would actually be kinda cool for the WWE to do. I would buy a Hot Rod lucha mask.

Cena or Orton wins, and then HHH comes out, congratulates the winner, says they're retiring the two belts or whatever unified belt they're making, and then announces himself as new champion, revealing an undisclosed third belt.

So that guy has a new batch of his "if NFL teams had european type football badges" logos out
I really don't like the new Colts one, and the Bears one looks awful, but damn, that San Fran one is ridiculous.
-
I'm with Rippa, actually. As a Bears fan, this move makes such little sense. Why Trestman isn't going with the hot hand is beyond me. The Browns are no joke and it feels like that offense is more McCown's offense than it is Cutler's. If McCown is suffering, or if the Bears are up big, then bring in Cutler. I guess you could say the same about bringing in McCown, but I at least feel more comfortable about McCown keeping the team in the game than I do Cutler keeping the team in the game.

Ryback did have that one last chance to be meaningful by winning the Rumble. That crowd and everyone was ready for it too, until Cena eliminated him. If Ryback wins the Rumble though, you could have him challenge for the World title and have Ryback say that he respects Cena and appreciates the opportunity handed to him, which is why he won't step in front of Cena if Cena still wants to challenge The Rock. Yeah, it's dumb, but it's nowhere near as dumb as some of the handouts Cena has received as a challenger to a title. That way, at some point, you can have Cena and Ryback team up, take on The Shield, whatever, and then do the whole "Mega Powers EXPLODE" angle. All of that is way better than what we actually received.

That's encouraging to know. I'm still hoping something changes for her, but she's so freaking stubborn that I don't see that happening. I then try and look at things from the angle of learning from this adventure, looking forward to the next adventure, and taking everything I've learned about this marriage to apply it to future relationships. And, I'm confident enough that I'll find someone else, and maybe they'll even be a Notre Dame or Cubs fan, but they won't be my wife, which sucks. In my brain, I know that feeling won't last forever and I doubt very many put their ex on a pedestal like that, but my heart says I won't be able to let go.
I guess I'm also afraid of falling in love again and winding up right back at this point. Again, something I'm sure that I can't worry about. I feel like Jack in Fight Club when his apartment blows up. I nearly had it all and things were starting to get put together in a logical way. All that's missing is someone to say flatly say "Fuck man, now it's all gone."

Of all the reasons to keep the Sin Cara character, that's the one they roll with? I mean, not many are going to recognize the difference between the two Sin Caras, but why not just spend 10 minutes to create a new character.
This is also one of those times where I'm bummed it isn't the late 80s or early 90s, because people would be saying the first Sin Cara died in some kind of freak accident.

After Fister was traded, I figured all Tigers fans would just throw the hands up and say fuck it.

I'll always remember Ryback getting buried by Jericho.

Fuck marriage and all the confusing fucking bullshit that comes along with it. I had a really heartfelt talk with my wife the other night about us and I basically copped to knowing where we were headed. We then had an extremely tearful conversation about good moments from our past and how that wouldn't be the same if we got a divorce. So how, or why, can two people who love each other very much head towards a divorce and still want to love each other post-divorce? She even wants me to keep the house because it's a home we bought for Maya and agreed that it's still her house too and she would be welcome anytime. We have a garden here, along with hundreds of flowers and shrubs and stuff she's planted for the landscaping that I setup, so that's all still her's to enjoy. So how in the fuck could any of this be happening? Why even get married in the first place? We both agreed things would likely be different if we didn't get married. This is all like a mental disease.

*sigh* I'll just agree to disagree and move on.
