I have my tickets to see this first thing on Thursday. I'm more than looking forward to seeing it and then I'll catch it again with my wife and daughter.

My understanding is that the movie is dogshit, but damn, they did a good job making the Rock look like Mark Kerr.

I don’t disagree about his body, but we’ll now see if his back is as finished as one would think and if Black is telling the truth that he’s 100%. That last singles match he had with Cole though…Man, he was moving like an 80 year old afterward. I think he can work a good singles style that isn’t shoot style too. The Cody match was good, so was the Cole match. There are others I’m forgetting so the ability is there.

In a better timeline, Black never gets dicked around by Vince, don’t go to AEW even though I liked him there, and has 2 or 3 world title runs by now.

Right. You’d run into a situation where people would start cheering for Mariah on her way out as she’s being jobbed out to whoever and then be resentful that Mariah left for WWE.

Do you cry about this same shit when someone, let’s just use Glenn Close on the Shield as an example, are brought into into an established tv series and universe for 1 or 2 seasons and are then done with that tv show after that?

Oh. It just dawned on me. Cena's basically ripping off Danielson's "FICKLE" gimmick, minus the hemp belt.

Uhhhhh...soooo...the Cubs are...pretty good...I hesitate to even say this or think about it much knowing that it will just turn out to be a dream. Their bullpen is fucking dogshit though.

Mariah isn't being used probably because her story is over. Why carve out more time on tv and take tv time away from someone else for someone who served their purpose, played out a storyline over the course of two years, and is destined to leave the company. It isn't like she has a ton of time left on her contract anyway. If she's put on tv all people are going to want to see is her and Toni and that's done. In some cases I'm not in favor of purely not using someone, but in the case, fuck it, that storyline ruled and she has earned some time off before she goes and signs to NXT.

Mongo would never be the best wrestler or a traditional hall of famer, but dammit, he's in the hall of fame of wrestlers that weren't really good, but I enjoyed the fuck out of anyway for a multitude of reasons.

Loooool Sanders is the Narcos meme right now.

Stanley Cup playoffs played a role too with one of the games being broadcast on two different channels.

Rick Ross

One of these tribute shows needs a multi person tag with Team Glitteratti on one side and Team Beefy on the other side.

That and not to say “ooh oooh! That was me!” But like right after I made a remark about sending a maniac to catch a maniac with regards to Hangman going after Mox, Swerve cuts a promo on Mox saying the same thing. Again, it’s a movie quote and it’s probably a coincidence, but it’s just another example of odd occurrences. So TK if you are lurking, thank you for doing this.

Tony, or someone close to him, definitely lurks on here. There have been more than a few occasions of us saying so and so should say this or saying it would be funny if such and such happened and then a week later it's on Dynamite or Collision. A couple times and it's a coincidence, but it's happened too many times now. Aside from that, this fucking rules so motherfucking hard. The juxtaposition of this/AEW in general and everything in the week before WM, WM itself, the roast shit, Heyman, and the Rock's comments makes me feel good about always backing this horse.

Or, you know, she served her purpose, lived out a two year long feud that was one of AEW's bests, was champion, Toni returned, worked her way back up, did her reveal that it was an act once the match was setup, reclaimed the title, Mariah went crazy, and then they had an awesome blowoff. Toni is the bigger star, hell, there are more than enough women on the roster to make it to that top spot, and Mariah's time in AEW is over and she can now explore the next step of her career...where there are decent odds she'll be lost in the shuffle, stay in NXT for a year or two, but at least she probably won't be treated with the same disrespect they treated Bayley with.

I'm glad he finally has an end to his suffering. RIP.

Nice. Or not nice because I assume GTA comes out in October as well. Either way, those are probably 2 or 3 or 4 games I planned on getting this year. If GTA comes out around that same time I might hold off on Yotei.

Who does Aleister Black kill tonight? I’m just guessing he’ll be on tonight’s Raw.

Killing Joel was fucking stupid in the game. Making you play as Abby to feel sympathy for her was even dumber. And look, if their intent is to keep the story beats the same, fine, whatever, but I’m not sticking around to watch their depression and melodrama fest. There is enough of that shit in the world. So the way it played out more than it actually happening is what annoyed me the most. This had all of the hallmarks of the worst crap from Game of Thrones, but worse. Before we even get to the incredible plot armor on characters, the way Abby and Joel meet is just so stupid and the biggest of convenient coincidences. She is presumably searching for Joel for 5 years. They’re stationed out of Seattle or wherever in the PNW. It’s ludicrous to think Jackson Hole, WY is the only large settlement they’ve come across because the game world has already established government controlled settlements across the country. Abby’s crew would have been murked a long time ago, but here they are and they’re just astonished at Jackson Hole not only because it’s larger than they thought seeing it in daylight, but because they have security detail, which is practically EVERY city settlement. This time they’re sure Joel is in Jackson. So Abby just happens to venture out by herself when they’re doing recon in pairs before that. She almost quite literally slips on a banana peel to trigger an infected Zerg rush. And while fungi and cordyceps can survive in extremely cold conditions, these are bodies that have deteriorated and have been buried in probably -20 to -30 degree temps and snow. Those bodies shouldn’t be moving that fast, but whatever, everything else is convenient so let’s allow it. Abby escapes one disaster after another only to be rescued in a random ass town by Joel? AND…you see these infected running fast enough to keep pace at a distance from a horse. Just a few minutes prior Abby is outrunning them. So Abby, in snow, is faster than a horse?! By the time Abby goes golfing I didn’t even care or have the outrage I felt during the game. It just didn’t hit that hard because of everything that led to that point. Pairing Dina with Joel was maybe the one thing that may have better than Joel and his brother. The rest was just spectacle for the sake of spectacle while shrouding anyone with a name in plot armor. Jackson Hole has all of these defenses and a wall, but they never bother to dig a wide trench around the perimeter to slow down anyone? The horde breaks through and ONLY the bloater and no other infected chase Joel’s brother into that back alley? Plus, it took a whole tank of fuel that ran out incredibly fast to barely take down a single bloater? So just seeing that and knowing what I know, I don’t particularly care to continue watching flashbacks and Abby centric episodes. Plus, my biggest complaint is that from the start I thought Dever would have been the perfect Ellie. Now here we are and Ellie’s character is so insufferable and looks so young that it just feels more like a little kid lashing out than someone like Dever who looks more mature and could make Ellie’s rebellious streak more tolerable. I’m just not very thrilled with what they’re giving Bella Ramsey.

Aaaaaaand I’m out. Fuck it.

It's important to remember that Cena, despite however many Make a Wishes he did, was and is a sociopath and very likely a psychopath. I'm not shocked in the lease that he's this fucking tone deaf and stupid mainly because he doesn't care. He also loved Nikki at one point too. We saw how that went.

This. Fucking Tony and his similar concept matches with names with alliteration in them.

Holy fucking shit. The Daredevil and Frank team-up scene needed the Doom music. And my biggest complaint isn't even a fair one - it's that these stupid as fuck rules about Kingpin being allowed on TV but not in movies and Spider-Man being allowed in movies and not on TV is going to deprive us of at least one, maybe two episodes with Spider-Man in it. Or Brand New Day with Kingpin in it. Aside from that, this season was hard as fuck. Holy shit. Disney and Feige are all like, sure, you can let Frank put three bullets through a cops head at point blank range. Fuck the police. Thank you to everyone who made this show for giving me my fantasy of corrupt as hell cops getting what they fucking deserve.
