So the scrapheap crew from this episode aren't in the comics, are they? There's a lot of them, and a few are very tall. I guess Rick's plan is to use them as cannon fodder... would have been nice to hear how they grew (and maintained) such a large crew without weapons, and where they get their food from (they'd need a lot of it). But nah, look at this cool visual effect we thought up - a spiky zombie! With spikes on!
I kept expecting them to break out the junkyard musical instruments like Fat Albert. Nah, they're not in the comics.
I did enjoy Winslow the Spiky Pit Zombie. He looked like an Iron maiden album cover.
Holy shit the background of the shots where Rick is on top of the trash heap is The Room-level greenscreen.

Damn about 4 years ago met Matt at Wildkat sports Luke Hawx vs Matt Hardy show. Matt was asking 5 for autographs and 10 for a pics with him or him and Reby. Matt was a bit shocked when I told him "Hey John Henry Delong says Hello". I doubt Matt was expecting to hear about the old OMEGA time keeper.
Hey, speaking of Omega, I was watching PWG and Excalibur mentioned on commentary that Trevor Lee is a 2nd generation wrestler and his father wrestled for Omega. Who is his father?

I'm still trying to figure out how wrestlers are like seagulls.

Yay for blurred refs! That's definitely a first, though with the right camera edits they should be able to cut him out of the scene as much as possible.
Just pretend the ref is naked, it's more fun that way.

I applaud you for doing that, but unfortunately one person cancelling means nothing to them. They've got so much money coming in that they couldn't care less about one customer making a statement. Now if it was thousands and beyond, maybe. But on a positive note now is the best time to ditch them because there's so much damn good non-WWE wrestling. So whether you're watching WWE through whatever means or ditching them outright for other promotions, you're going to have a good time either way.
Oh yeah, I'm under no illusion that my drop in the bucket matters financially to them, but it means something to me.

That pic of the McMahons with Cheeto Fuhrer, smiling like a bunch of marks, like common rubes who finally made it to the big city, really stuck with me.
I cancelled my WWE Network subscription this morning and I'll take Raw & Smackdown off the DVR tonight. I can pirate whatever I want to see or catch the 5 good minutes of their TV on Youtube, but I won't be giving $10/month and a miniscule % of ratings to people who stand behind someone who supports hatred, xenophobia, and all the other worst, most base instincts of America.

Oh man, I hope she can help change the definition of "small business" in the same refreshing, money-saving way her family redefined and modernized the role of "independent contractor."
On second thought, it's funny that of all the people in that picture, the McMahons actually treat contractors the best.

Savage's 90s gear was horrible. I know the full bodysuit was there to cover up him getting off the gas, but still.
Then again, the change in gear does serve the purpose of delineating his career fro me. If I see a match with Bodysuit Macho, odds are I can avoid it.

"Without Fat Joey, Skinny Joey is just Joey."
If the show goes the same way as the comics, Morgan actually gave away the ending in this past episode
SpoilerHe says they should lock Negan up, which is exactly how it all played out in the comics

The Enzo backlash is delicious. I never liked them in NXT. I always felt like they were too much of a set in stone, packaged act and weren't learning anything new. Like they realized they got a pop for Enzo's canned spiel so they just stopped working on anything else. NXT was supposed to be where you learn and grow, not where you cosplay the New Age Outlaws.

Thanks for the inspiration, guys. I'm going to grill some wings this weekend.

Nah, it needs to be the Authors of Pain if we're keeping up the Team Beefy theme

Vince Vaughn is really going to show his range playing Tony Atlas.

Is anybody watching this season of Homeland? It's definitely slower and more, maybe....cerebral? It's very good, though, and so far it's featured some harsh commentary on:
- America's treatment of veterans
- America's treatment on anyone even remotely suspected of being a "terrorist"
- Israel's behavior
- President elect vs the intelligence community
But it just took an insane turn and is going to get more bonkers judging from the preview for next week's episode.

Since it came up in this thread - Meltzer said the plan is for at least a HHH stable of KO and Joe. So that is the start of your former NXT Champs stable.
Vince is going to be pissed that Hunter is starting a fat guy stable.
GOD DAMMIT PAL HAVE YOU LEARNED NOTHING?

I imagine that since he got nearly decapitated, Enzo has been shy about any move that requires him to even graze the ropes. That particular move shouldn't have been an issue, but mental blocks can be tricky, if that's what is happening here.
That's a whole lot of words to waste when you can just say "Enzo is a shitty wrestler."
Someone else here commented "why didn't Cesaro cover for it with a clothesline?" Probably because Enzo can't be relied on to bump properly on an improv'd move like that and would have just made it worse.

Anyone else find Konnan's keeping it 100'unlistenable? I used to really like his MLW podcast, I think Court was able to keep him in check way more than Kevin Gill and Disco.
Ive enjoyed Prichard's podcasts and as mentioned previously Conrad does a great job on anything he's on.
It is absolutely unlistenable. I really enjoyed him on MLW but only listened to the new show a few times. I just couldn't deal with the format. It seems they tape an hour with each guest, then cut the interviews into bits and make them last a month. The show jumps around so much that the first time I heard it, I thought I'd gotten a corrupt MP3. Konnan is good but he's one of those guys who needs a good cohost to focus him. Instead, we've got the exact opposite.

Killing the Town and Bruce Prichard's show are basically the only continuously great podcasts out there at the moment, in my opinion. Sure, the Bryan and Vinny retro shows are great, but those aren't recent startups and you have to pay for them.
The first two are great. I enjoy Prichard's more though. It's a way longer show, he has great stories, and his impressions are goddamn hillarious. Vince and Cornette especially.
Prichard's show has really grown on me. Once you learn to tune out his WWE bias (he's really soft on them, to the point of outright lying) and his irrational Meltzer hatred, it's a fine show. You have to take the good with the bad. I think I'll pass this week, though. I've heard so much XFL talk lately that the shows are starting to blend together.
Thompson also hosts a show with Shchiavone and the debut episode was damn good. Tony's got a great sense of humor about himself and his place in wrestling and it's funny to hear him drop f bombs.
It's an acquired taste, but I'm bummed that seemingly nobody else here except @Sammo~!, I think, listens to Marty & Sarah Love Wrestling.

Brown tights, cowboy boots, and cute lil' pageboy haircut. It's like I walked into the Blue Oyster Bar accidentally.

Wrestling's weird relative scale of what is "safe" is always laughable. Catching the rope under your armpits and across your chest is "safe." So it's cool to do it to break a 6-8' fall from a ladder.

Couple things:
-That Cena mask is terrifying, but I see it as a blank canvas for awesome Halloween ideas. The mask itself would work, but imagine putting blood or whatever ghoulish effects to make it awesome. Done right that would be awesome.
-Not gonna lie, I wore a good amount of Big Dog shirts when I was a teenager. We'd go to Ocean City, check the nearby outlet that had their store and I couldn't help but get a shirt. Thankfully I don't have them anymore, but at the time they were fine.
LOL Ocean City is probably the only pace I've ever seen Big Dog shirts

He probably doesn't have "Big Dog" merch because there's already a "Big Dog" t-shirt and clothing company loved by Wal Mart people everywhere. So WWE probably can't secure the trademark for clothing.

According to MLS and Court Bauer, Sullivan is out of ROH.
Yeah, Bauer actually unloaded on the last show and mentioned that Joe Koff and Delirious have a "father son relationship," so Delirious is going to book as long as he wants to or at least as long as Koff is there. He also said Delirious did away with Sullivan because he was paranoid that Sullivan might threaten his spot (LOL Sullivan is 70 he doesn't want that shit). if those two sentences sound counter to each other, congrats, you're not a paranoid, insecure doofus.
Also, Sullivan gave good advice and mentoring and was well liked by everybody, and Delirious didn't like that either. My God, ROH is really a shitshow right now.
FEBRUARY 2017 MOVIE DISCUSSION
in MOVIES & TV

I just came here to post about Arrival. Same here. Not as maddening as Interstellar but definitely a film made by someone too clever by half, in love with their own "creativity." A coworker just sent me this video where a guy just gushes over it. To me, he only succeeds in proving that the film is a big con. We are supposed to empathize with the main character's sense of loss from the first frame of the film. Her daughter's death informs everything about the character. The fact that it actually hadn't even happened yet just cheapens the whole thing. Put M. Night Shymalan's name on this film and it would be universally reviled.
I'm going to have to disagree with @J.T.'s interpretation:
The impression I got was that she didn't gain the ability to understand their language herself. Rather, the aliens gave her that ability (all the talk of them giving us "the weapon") along with the ability to perceive time the way they do. She was a means to an end -- get humans to work together so we can help the aliens in 3000 years. Pretty cut and dried to me. I also never got the impression that the aliens perceive actual different realities, just that they perceive time (and only time) in a non-linear fashion. I don't think there was anything in the movie about different realities.
