  1. IS that the Sami vs Drake Guerrilla Warfare match? That one was all kinds of crazy. It's the third match in a series between the two, and the matches leading up to it were great as well. Both men's runs in PWG were amazing.
  2. Yeah but maybe push the requirements back a little? Look at Kurt Angle who I feel only got in because the voters had a hard-on for inducting someone "legit" to help allay their fake fighting insecurities. FFS the guy was only in the business for 6 years. If eligibility started at 45 instead of 35 would he be in? Does his amateur gold medal and 8 years (on and off due to injuries) in WWE offset a decade languishing in a distant, hapless #2 promotion? He's a guy who absolutely got in too early, way before he could be judged properly. Yes, wrestlers never retire, but 35 is just too young. Another guy who got in as soon as he was eligible was Benoit. You want to tell me that he would have gotten in if the age limit or number of years in wrestling was further back?
  3. I just started watching Empire but I cringe and get the douchechills every time someone uses "ish" as a stand-in for "shit" That shit is embarrassing.
  4. I need to look into it...is this PWG's longest layoff between shows?
  5. redundant. Everybody knows the Horsemen were just a thinly veiled metaphor for the Third Reich.
  6. All I remember from that episode was his description of his job designing porn video covers.
  7. I want to see tromataker exhibit his ability to jump out of his chair after a highspot and do a lap high-fiving fans. Noting in that strap match showed me he has the cardio for that. I'm skeptical, brother. On a serious note, how about Excalibur?
  8. I kept expecting Dana Brooke to hit her pose 5-6 times as she walked into the salon.
  9. Exactly! Meltzer shitting all over this segment was fucking ponderous. "Blah blah look at Kana (omg using past names so smart) there! She's better than the whole roster already (because she's from Japan get it)." FUCK. As you said, it's more of an orientation than anything, and keep in mind Biff Busick and ZZ are NOT in the same class. ZZ is in the "tryout class." Jesus. Also, like it or not, WWE has their own style and these guys, no matter how seasoned they are, need to learn to adapt to that. Oh noes Kana is there and she doesn't belong there because Japan!!11one Not sure if this is a criticism or not. The best players aren't always, or rarely are, the best coaches. Besides Stan Lane, who did Ric Flair train? I want ZZ's dad to be my dad. His pep talk to ZZ was the fucking best. "It's jus' like learnin' anudder language son." What a good dude.
  10. The latest episode of Homeland was entitled "Better Call Saul." I LOL'd.
  11. Those were my issues with the episode itself. It's fine to do an introspective flashback episode but for fuck's sake, don't do it after a cliffhanger in which a main character's fate is left up in the air. And yeah, I spent the episode asking, "okay, so how is Eastman going to die?" Another problem I had with the writing of the episode was timing issues. To a lesser extent, how long was Morgan at Eastman's house? It seems like a good while, but Morgan's camp is totally undisturbed, no walkers even on the sticks, when they go back to it. To a greater extent, how long was Morgan back in his camp, going crazy again? It seemed like a while, but then he goes back to Eastman's and hands him the walker's wallet, so I guess it's the same day? To me, there are two reasons they did this episode, the first I'm certain of and the second I'm assuming. They needed to explain why Morgan has the code he has because: 1) The creators of the show knew fans would be turning on Morgan. While Rick and Carol are kind of crazy, their code works for the world as it is now. Kill or be killed. Here comes Morgan with a set of values that is, at best, naive and, at worst, dangerous. We already saw Wolves he let get away (and grab a gun) almost kill Rick. We're more apt to cheer for Rick and Carol and write Morgan off as a dangerous dumbass. Will this episode build a little sympathy for the character? I don't know but it at least gives Morgan's views a little more validity as to why he does what he does. 2) Bad things are going to come out of that Wolf being locked in the basement. Because of that, we need to understand why Morgan did it instead of just saying, again, "what a fucking dumbass." The episode was written to make us come around a bit on Morgan. Maybe not sympathize, but at least understand.
  12. It is rather ironic that dad worked the "constantly injured" gimmick and then it turns out, for his son, it's no gimmick.
  13. What I've taken away from this is the WWE Universe has a really hard time spelling Barick Liznar's name. Maybe they're just huge fans of Firepro.
  14. "We don't use numerals for Mania anymore because that makes it look old. Now go out there and hype the 25th anniversary of the Undertaker!"
  15. Amazing. Build the team up to a real contender, get a new stadium deal, cut costs and let the team fall apart, blame the QB. Being an NFL owner sure is a thing.
  16. Like anything in wrestling, they're fine until they're overused. And they're way overused in WWE right now. Also, they serve 50/50 booking a little too well. It's a meaningless way to end a match.
  17. Wrestlemania presented by Snapchat. Show the whole card to millennials, 10 seconds at a time.
  18. Why is the NFL reminding everybody that this is the 50th Super Bowl? Don't they realize how old that sounds? The only way to get younger fans is to fool them into thinking the NFL started a year or two ago.
  19. I feel like when you're in a field like that for long enough, you stop seeing the forest for the trees. It's that or pure evil, and I like to give the benefit of a doubt. But for fuck's sake, how do you have evidence of a dude fucking children and be like, "well let's let this play out, we may be able to arrest more dudes!" It's not like it's illegal gambling or a fencing operation. Fuck.
  20. I am assuming the sarcasm is just not translating but just in case. They dumped the roman numerals because Vince felt it made everything feel "old" This year had the big play button instead of roman numerals I know....and Vince is a moron. Can't wait 'til the NFL stops using numerals for Super Bowls.
  21. Just rip off this design and use different silhouettes. "F5 EVERYBODY" = all the dollars
  22. This is like Highlights magazine. No way Kofi would be on the poster Taker's hair looks like he bought it from those infomercials Chavo was shilling No way would they eliminate the roman numerals from the poster and just go with a goofy star......right?
  23. As good as he is, the whole "Chad Gable is definitely going to be WON rookie of the year" thing is a bit much. It reminds me of dumbass Observer voters putting Kurt Angle in WAY too early -- a bunch of out of touch old guys feeling insecure about fake fighting so they want to induct legit guys asap. I like Gable but come on. He's still in developmental and has only been really on the radar for a few months.
  24. ZEUS!!!!! (is lookin' old) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ON_JgpWdwo
