    I think you mean Ted Levine will be Captain Stottlemeyer forever.

     

     

    There is no human who looks more completely the opposite depending on whether he has a mustache or not.

     

    Ted Levine w/ Mustache =  t.v. actor who plays bumbling middle-aged bearueacrat who rolls his eyes a lot

    Ted Levine w/o Mustache = movie actor who plays troubled villains or experienced loners with poetic anxiety and a drinking problem

     

     

    Counterpoint: Ted Levine on The Bridge.  Some of column A, some of column B.  No mustache but starring in a TV show playing a troubled but caring cop with a dark past.

  2. Dang it if they didn't do their dumb walker parade and left them in the quarry, they could've drove the gas truck in and shot it with the rocket launcher and killed all the walkers in one shot.

    Dumb.

     

    Not sure if you're serious but just to be nitpicky:

     

    They would have never found the gas truck or rocket launcher without the whole quarry plan.  Both were like 20 miles away in the other direction and they would have only driven that far because of the quarry deal.

  3. If the fans are itching to boo a guy, just make him a heel already.  And vice versa.

     

    It's amazing how much Vince McMahon has changed.  It used to be that his homoerotic pet projects would be abandoned posthaste if they didn't draw or if the fans didn't buy them (Diesel, Luger).  Not so much anymore.  I don't know if it's a matter of getting old and feeling like he needs to exert control over his product to prove the business hasn't passed him by or what, but he's just gotten stubborn about wanting his way despite what people want to see.  Vince has such a hardon for making this Renegade-era Lorenzo Lamas looking motherfucker world champ that he's blind to reality.  GODDAMMIT IT MEN WANT TO BE HIM AND I WANT TO FUCK HIM LADIES WANT TO FUCK HIM.

    How do all these indy dudes like the Young Bucks perform crazy moves every night and never injure themselves?  Guys who work a more grounded style tear something and are out for a year.

     

    They probably work through some pretty fucked up injuries and are incredibly broken down. Daniel Bryan is somewhat an example of how the indy style really wears you down. 

     

     

    LOL  please school us on this "indy style" and explain how Danielson and the Bucks' styles are similar.  Never seen the Bucks run headfirst into an opponent's head and never saw Danielson do a handspring backrake.

  5. No, it's just a gimmick. Kinda like EC3 where you play up being someone's spoiled relative. My ex knew Bentley since high school, she said he was just a guy who was a big HBK fan and that was always his idea for a character.

     

    Kind of like when Ian Rotten used to wrestle as Johnny "The Prince" Lawler, except Michaels never called Bently and threatened to kill him if he didn't stop that shit immediately.

  6. So Glenn's alive.

     

    The good: they didn't string it along any longer and even did the reveal right at the start of the episode.  I figured we'd have to wait until February.

     

    The bad: Glenn's death fakeout was a completely needless, pointless plotline and was purely a troll move

     

    The really bad:

    Glenn's not going to last because he has a date with Lucille

     

    So who was calling Darryl, Sasha and Abraham on the walkie?  My guess is the timeline is all twisty and that it was someone calling from Alexandria after the place got overrun by walkers.  Maybe they'll come to the rescue with the gas truck and rocket launcher.

    And have the missions have more than one way to complete them.  I'm replaying GTA3 and it's kind of sad that this game is probably the best in the genre in this respect.  Nowadays there are way too many insta-fail missions because you didn't use the right kind of gun or someone saw you, etc.

     

    That's one of my biggest complaints about GTA4/5.  I played Vice City at least a dozen times, and I went out of my way to find different ways to complete a bunch of those missions.  It was also nice doing things to set up a mission for success before you started, like leaving a fast car nearby before starting that stupid race with Hillary.  Might be why I've never replayed either of the last two games.

     

    At least the online missions in GTA 5 still have quite a bit of flexibility.

     

     

    What we lost in flexibility, we gained in ease of access.  Nothing worse than failing a mission in GTA3 or Vice City and having to drive all the way across the map to do it all over again.  The new checkpoint/retry system is great and I have no idea if I would have the patience or persistence to go back and play those games today.

    Dash and Dawson need a tag team name. Something like the Amputators but... better.

    Other than that, great episode. I'm starting to think that Carmella might have potential. Emma looked great. Even the Ascension looked better in NXT.

    Not sure why they dropped The Mechanics nickname. Anyone?

     

     

    Couldn't find a manager named Mike

     

     

    If the crowd were really smart they would just shut the fuck up and give her total silence and zero reaction. Id even go so far as to say they should do the same for whoever her opponent is as well. If you try to cheer the face too hard it might been seen as an ok middle ground because at least someone is getting a reaction. If they want to protest Eva next week they should all just sit on their hands, play with their phones, go to the bathroom etc and show WWE that she isn't worth caring about.

     

    This reaction though? This ear splitting booing? This is the reaction WWE are hoping to get. The louder they boo the harder she will get pushed.

     

    Yeah man maybe they could go all Green Lantern Fan and turn their backs to the ring and raise the double birds.  That would showThe Office what's up.  Jesus fucking Christ.

  9. I don't remember him saying anything really bad about her but maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention.  I do remember one of the wrestlers (Strong, maybe?) giving her a really hard time before a match.  What was the reason she only did night 1?

     

    I have no idea who the guy was who announced nights 2 & 3 but he was awesome.
