Yeah let's worry about boogeymen like ISIS, illegal immigrants, refugees and black youth while angry white guys are already here and have all the guns they care to buy. That works.

Crockett also had syndication in the 80s, not just TBS. I grew up in Baltimore and it was on at noon Saturdays and Sundays on one of the local UHF stations (channel 54).

Maybe he's a lonely drifter who flits into town, does some odd jobs, comforts the local widow, and moves on?

That's better, though the backbreaker portion of the combo looks weak as fuck. "I will lay you gently across my knee now."

A few Winter premiere dates: Better Call Saul: February 15 Banshee: January 29

I'm not sure how much scripting he does but it's been reported that he is the final word and will rip up a Raw script and have it rewritten last minute if he wants. Also, you have to remember his influence in the writers. They want to please him and keep their jobs so they'll write to his tastes. So the shit that pleases Vince is what drives creative as a whole. Answer to question 2: The Rock

Oh man if The Drifter's gimmick is that local cops are always trying to pin unsolved murders on him, that would be gold.

Well that was Vince 20 years ago, before he "defeated Ted Turner" and became a billionaire. Vince in the mid/late 90s achieved huge success once in his life and saw it disappear for the first time ever, so you can see how he could be unsure of himself back then. Vince in 2015 came back to be bigger than ever and I think any humility he had is long gone. I mentioned that in the Raw thread, but it fell on deaf ears. It's about The Brand and having a megastar would mean having to accommodate him/her in their minds. This seems pretty obvious. That's exactly it. He's following the NFL model where the goal is to make nobody bigger than the league itself. Every boom period featured big names who had Vince over a barrel and he doesn't want to get in that position again, even if avoiding that means smaller stars and less success. We've seen every entertainment medium become safe and risk-averse. It was only a matter of time before wrestling followed suit.

Is the import process for 360 -- > One similar?

That's the problem. They don't want anyone to be bigger than the company itself, so nobody can get over as a megastar and you're left relying on guys that got over before that unofficial mandate was put in place because they're the only ones that can draw.

You can sing "Real Estate Steve" to the tune of "Man Called Sting." He does this He does that He'll flip your old house Quick as a cat Real Estate Steeeeeeeeve! REAL Estate Steve!

I hope he didn't sneeze

It is logistically dumb but also: why the fuck is a heel doing flashy shit? Heels shouldn't be doing flippy do's and triple topes. Those things pop the crowd, which is not what a heel is supposed to do. Especially a guy working an "old school heel" gimmick like Lethal. "I'm a heel, my finish is a roll up."

I only ffwd through Raw to watch one or two matches with guys I like. I get recaps of the rest through podcasts. This week, I deleted it from the DVR sight unseen. WWE has become Wal Mart or McDonald's. Everything is homogenized and consistently dull, week in and week out. There's zero excitement, no spontaneity and no reason at all to believe next week's bland, 3-hour snoozefest will be any different than last week's. They aren't a wrestling company anymore; they are a content generation service who puts out an inoffensive 5 hours per week for their cable partners per their contracts. Vince has finally succeeded in making wrestling mainstream (business-wise, anyway),as now it conducts itself like every other dull American product geared toward attracting the largest audience, to hell with excitement and creativity. Congrats.

There isn't a single finisher in the entire promotion that makes me feel like it matters(OK, maybe the Pop-Up Powerbomb). I never need to see another spear, downward spiral variation, or a DDT that looks less painful than a regular old DDT. Is there a reason Ryback's Samoan drop is more devastating than all of the other Samoan drops we see all over Raw? Seriously, why is his Samoan drop better than the ones used by the Usos', Rusev's, or Roman Reign's Samoan Drops? Everything about their product is stale as three day old shit, I'm actually afraid to go into the "How Happy are You with the WWE Product," thread. I feel like I'd start typing and never stop. Can we talk for a second about the setup for this move? Owens throws dudes into the ropes completely differently than the normal bullshit "grab the wrist and push their upper back" Irish Whip. He sort of grabs guys by their head/neck and shoves them. No idea why he decided to do it differently but the guy is so good at the little things. I'm seeing more people lately throw guys into the ropes Owens style and it's cool. Will people lose their shit or completely lose their shit when he pulls out the package piledriver for a special occasion?

I've often thought the refs might be attention whores in love with TV facetime. The NFL's choice of punishment (no prime time game for you!) backs that up.

Seriously, the Lethal Injection is right up there with the Stratusphere and Del Rio's stomp as far as stupid shit goes.

This fucking show. Only the writers of this show could make "Alexandria gets overrun by a shit ton of zombies" talky and boring. And the precious hour-and-a-half episode designed to babyface Morgan and make us understand his mentality? Didn't work. I was hoping someone would throw his unconscious ass out the door to the zombies at the end.

5th Wave looked decent until I realized it was another young adult pandering shitfest. Get off my lawn.

Negan kills Darryl in the mid-season finale oooooooh shiiiiiiiiiit

I used to go to a mechanic named Mike Tyre
