No one took issue because you were personally attacking them or because you were lazy. The term "SJW" itself is a term of derision that mocks people that care about issues like racism and sexism. The term itself is bullshit. It's nothing like the damn Tea Party - they named themselves. The term goes beyond deriding people who care about these things. It accuses these people of disingenuousness; calling someone a "SJW" is accusing them of just taking a stance for attention or validation and not really caring about the issue at hand. Accusing someone you disagree with of being fake in their beliefs is just the worst, most lazy cop-out.

How is it that Nia Jaxx and Dana Brooke both have voices like Chyna?

Or the House of Truth which is not literally a house. WTF

This shit jumped the shark with Slater's 3-minute junior high rant on the nature of society. For a second there I was wondering if they just had him redo some monologue from Pump Up The Volume. It's the mark of bad writers who aren't confident that they're getting the message and subtext across that they have to essentially have a main character look right into the camera and spell it out for you. The whole deal sounded like a schoolboy who read too much of that hack Chuck Palaniuk. OMG everybody did you know corporations rule the world now? Truth to power~! I'm old enough to have seen this "mind blowing" message spewed so many times that packaging it in a different wrapper did nothing to make it any more interesting than the previous thousand times I've heard it. This show started off pretty well, then went the way of hackneyed plot twists and then turned straight into high school navel gazing bullshit. USA Network is trying hard to go "gritty" but this is not the way to do it, with a show that takes a handful of original ideas and dresses them up trying to pass them off as something new.

PS anything is better than the weird, unflattering, baggy, olive green bloomers Becky wrestles in now.

I've done a tiny bit of trademark/copyright stuff but I'm a lowly middle manager and not a lawyer...if Rousey et al can prove use in commerce (did they make and sell merch or was it just a cute name Rousey and her friends used?) before WWE trademarked it, they could fight it. Of course, it being based off an old wrestling trademark muddies the waters some.

They have GOT to do something about these Regal segments where he looks so much bigger than the talent. Have him stand in a pit. Have them stand on phonebooks. Do the whole thing sitting down. SOMETHING. Fuck. So you're the new team working a Hobbit gimmick then?

Deadspin has the story on it. I don't know why we're talking about whether or not he knew about the deflation. The NFL lost the case because they handled it with astounding arrogance and rampant stupidity from the beginning. You can't base a suspension on some bullshit "honor code" that isn't published anywhere.

Kayfabe's just another word for nothin' left to lose

Motoko Baba is heartbroken.

Now THAT is miscasting. Damn. Unless he treated them by throwing them out the window and cackling.

Jack Purcell Don't forget that Ace's marriage makes Road Warrior Animal DBryan's uncle.

I didn't even realize Russini was gone from NBC4 and was now working for ESPN.

Please keep using "SJW" and "PC" as pejoratives. It makes it easier to tell who the shitty people are.

Anybody thinking this will have any blowback on Vince is kidding themselves. It's a 30 year old story. Vince will say, if anything at all, that his involvement was minimal, the actions of a concerned employer, and that how the local PD mishandled things is their business. He won't have to say even that much, as McDevitt and PR people will handle it.

Don't underestimate the feds' desire to be on TV, rub elbows with famous jocks, and feign outrage and concern. Ballplayers sticking needles in their asses in order to hit a ball farther was not some earth-shattering national interest issue, either, but we still had hearings (live on TV!).

Oh shit I just noticed that. God damn, NFL. Once you get a coaching job, you can stay in the league for life. Fail one place as head coach, get a coordinator job somewhere else, succeed despite yourself, then get another head coaching job, rinse, repeat..

How did I not notice Denver signed Gary Kubiak as OC? As a Baltimore fan, this makes me almost as happy as him leaving the Ravens in the first place. Enjoy his play calling wizardry, Broncos fans. His entire system is, "call rushing plays on typical passing downs and vice versa, because surely nobody will ever expect that!" 3rd and 20? HANDOFF! 3rd and 1? They're definitely expecting the run so let's go deep! Dude's whole play calling philosophy revolves around trying to be entirely too fucking cute. Actually, he's great for Denver because Peyton will audible out of every call anyway.

Right after KIller Karl Cox does some tricks with his glass eye.

And then Vince and Snuka enjoyed a little glass table-assisted coprophilia and went McGuyver on a blender.

wait what just how old was this younger sister?

Mercy killing. The novel has the dumbest ending which makes me dread the series finale. You just described almost every King novel. You need to be more specific than that. I had Under the Dome pegged for cancellation after last season but, apparently, it was kept afloat by Amazon Prime Instant rights fees. This season just seems so off the cuff and shitty that the writers probably thought so, too. "We got renewed??? Oh shit." Re: Banshee -- it's an awesome show. This next season is going to be its last but I bet it'll be a crazy sendoff. Ray Donovan got renewed for season 4. I think season 3 is really good despite changing show runners. The new show creators managed to keep the "nothing ever works out for anybody/one step forward, two steps back" aesthetic going.

WWE statement. Chyna? News reports said it was a male Bill Demott?
