    It's Gregg's default strawman argument whenever someone doesn't gush over a worker like he does.  See earlier this year, when he claimed that no one would have a problem with the Roman Reigns push if he'd come from ROH or NJPW.

     

    Scrolling right past Gregggg's posts is one of life's little pleasures.

    Just basically binge watched Orange is the New Black season 3 and I was honestly bored. I get onto a lot of shows that have these 20+ episode seasons because the middle of the seasons just drag. I'm usually a big fan of the slow burn storytelling but in a case like this where there are only 13 episodes there is no reason for every episode not to be packed with crazy shit. Instead it took all season for anything interesting to happen. The only thing that really had me interested was Lori Petty's character which I guess tied into the "who is going to fuck Alex up" story arc. Last season bothered me because I felt like I was watching 2003 RAW where every episode ended with the heel on top with V outsmarting everybody, at every turn, until she randomly gets ran over which even that I felt like was shitty because nobody else at the prison got the "rub" of taking her out. Instead she was just randomly ran over and still go over on all those bitches without any real retaliation from any of them. Atleast that season was still interesting though this one wasn't. I don't think I'll be back for season 4 the show seems to have ran its course. 

     

    Oh man I'm maybe 7-8 episodes in and NOTHING is happening. 

     

    There's no really captivating major plot arc. 

     

    "Piper's panty business" feels like it's something out of a different show entirely, especially her "rally the troops" speech.  What the fuck?

     

    They're giving way too much time and plot to Crazy Eyes, probably because of her fan favorite status. "Oh, you enjoy this minor character?  Well we'll ramp up her screen time 500% this season!"

     

    Either the show's creators 1) believe whole heartedly in the binge nature of this show and, thus, feel they don't need the standard serialization hallmarks and can treat the show like one 13 hour movie split into uneven parts or 2) they're way too pleased with themselves and feel they can do no wrong.  Either way, this season is fucking baffling.

    That all looks amazing, except for Galloway.  I've seen his stuff in Evolve and he just bores me.  Maybe I'm biased (like I am with Alberto) because he has the WWE style/WWE midcard stink on him.

     

    The Guerrilla Warfare match should be insane.  Both members of Trevorette have proven they're ready to die for our amusement.

    Did they just realize Owens is a dude of size?  They hired the guy looking like that because he's a great wrestler with charisma to burn.  The guy lost a little weight but he's never going to look like Vince's fantasy man.  It's not like he was thin and then packed on 20lbs after he showed up on TV.  This is WWE in a nutshell.  No set direction...make a move and then change direction on it a few weeks later.  Vince is a fucking loon.  

     

    To answer the question, I think Punk said something to the effect of, "things will never get better until Vince dies."

     

    Also, it's amazing how, for two ostensibly straight males, Vince and Dunn spend an awful lot of time thinking about other men's bodies.

    So I have Hulu+ and they're running an offer to add Showtime for $8.99 a month. For those who have it, is there enough on Showtime to make it worth adding?

     

    Well there's the aforementioned Ray Donovan, which I enjoy.  Come on JT, it's only 2 episodes in! 

     

    Masters of Sex was good but it's getting a little tiresome and I can't stand whatever Lizzy Caplan's voice affect is supposed to be.  Can you go back and watch old shows?  The first few seasons of Dexter were good before it shit the bed.  Homeland starts up again in the fall is is a good show, though season 2 was a little meh.  Overall, I'd give it a shot.

    Okay so I'm an idiot and checked only to realize the modem is also a router.  Time Warner is my provider and I now have the modem hooked up straight to the laptop with the PS3 gaining wireless connectivity from the correct source.  I still expect that I've done something wrong and that this won't work somehow, but at least I figured out one stupid mistake I had made.  Thanks for the help up to this point.

     

    Well that didn't work.  One hour later I got error 80710092 on PSN.  I don't know what to do at this point.

     

    Have you tried using a wired connection instead of wireless?  I'd try that first.  I've also read that it could be a DNS issue and saw this in a thread, so it may help you:

     

    Go to "Internet  connection settings"

     

    Select "custom" for  connection method

     

    For Wired  connections: select wired connection, select auto-detect, select automatic for  ip address settings, dhcp host name "do not set", for DNS SETTINGS select MANUAL  and then put in two numbers from the following website http://theos.in/windows-xp/free-fast-public-dns-server-list/, choose the top option for everything else and then  try signing into your PSN account.

     

    For WIRELESS connections: select wireless, select enter manually,  for ssid click to the right, click to the right for security, click to the right  for security key, automatic for ip address, do not set for dhcp host, MANUAL for  DNS and then enter two numbers http://theos.in/windows-xp/free-fast-public-dns-server-list/, choose the top option for everything else and then try  signing into your PSN account.

     

     

    Barring that, maybe it's a firewall issue.  A long time ago, I had to mess with my router's firewall to allow the specific protocols my Xbox used, which was a pain in the ass.

    Ray Donovan is decent so far but what the everloving fuck is up with Katie Holmes' mouth?  She has these huge braces, looking like Richard Kiel.  I saw an article that mentioned her taking a dental appliance out of her mouth on set, so is this just an acting choice?  If so, why would a the rich character she plays not get better braces?  If Katie Holes really does have braces IRL, why didn't Katie Holmes get better braces?  None of this makes any fucking sense. 

     

    The "Bunchy's sexual awakening at the hands of a domineering luchadora" is...unexpected.
