What exactly is the Dome of Deletion? Did the Hardys buy the cage that Homicide could barely escape from Dixie?
Correction: could not escape
My best guess is that's their name for the quonset hut in the backyard where they did the first angle

And be honest. You'd rather a tear in space / time open up and Ricky / Robert from the 80's came out to ELO rather than see old RnR come out for one last go.
If you're going that route, just forget Gibson and have Ricky from 85 teaming with Ricky from 86.

Managing a bunch of failing business ventures while still mysteriously coming out on top, money-wise? Sounds familiar. Like something a Mania main eventer, WWE Hall or Famer, or president would do.

So WWE is now hiring trainers who can show prospects what NOT to do? That's some next level shit. Maybe Nigel & Danielson can do a two man seminar where they show their stupidly-worked ROH matches and explain just what spots contributed to their shortened careers. (Yes I know Nigel retired due to Hep but the concussions would have caught up eventually, work with me here)

I think they're going for the old school match of a guy just trying to last the full 10 minutes in a match against somebody who is clearly out of their league. The idea being that just SURVIVING 10 minutes against the monster and going to a time limit draw shows how much heart they have and will get them over on their own, even without getting an actual win. Unfortunately, this isn't 1987 anymore and that type of booking doesn't really work these days. The only way this angle works is if Sami gets the actual pinfall over Braun.
EDIT: Here is the last time I recall them doing this sort of angle/match
ROH has a similar gimmick called a "Proving Ground Match," where a non-#1-contender gets a 20-minute time limit non-title match with the champion. If the contender wins or goes the distance, he gets a title match.

a) You can do both.
b) In 15 seconds, he's made a kid hate him for years.
If turning someone in seconds by insulting them isn't something a heel should be doing, then I don't even know if we're watching the same thing.
Seriously. Wrestling needs more heels that aren't afraid to be heels.

So who is the guy walking around spying on everyone? I don't remember that from the comics.

Less than 90 seconds to logically explain all that, with a serious presentation. Those were the days. Now we'd get a 20 minute promo filled with $10 buzzwords and have no fucking clue what happened when it was over.

That makes sense but has anyone suggested just taping the house shows with maybe a simple set up? No big set pieces just what they'd do for a house show? I'd think it wouldn't cost THAT much, but I don't know
13 hours ago, Victator said:See I don't see why they just don't do fancams like ECW did. Surely one camera at a house show is not expensive. They already do the mini tron and stage.
A simple setup, with no pyro and ballyhoo, goes against their #brand. Vince and KD are showmen, god dammit.

If Vince Russo were around, that would absolutely be a stable. I wonder how they're fare against the Union of People You Oughtta Respect, Shane?

At least we don't have to worry about WWE toning down it's content now that Linda's in the political spotlight since there is apparently literally nothing anyone in Trump's cabinet can do or say that is outrageous enough for anyone to give a fuck.
Remember when congress spent like a year investigating first lady Hillary Clinton's Christmas card list?
Seriously. We have at least one actual white nationalist, essentially a Nazi, on the cabinet. WWE going back up to at least PG-13, if not straight-up R, would be no problem.

I heard the rant and it shows that they don't care about this show going into this.
Nah. They both usually like LU; But Bryan has hated intergender since the start and rails against it almost every time. Different people are into different things. I know as soon as Pentagon started strangling a woman with a cable, I said, "this is fucking dumb" and turned it off.
As I said, different people like different things and see things differently. For me, and likely B&V, watching Pentagon punch and kick women and beat them with foreign objects while a rabid crowd cheered it on was gross. Up there with Vince and Trish's "bark like a dog" shit. Again, that's just me.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

I think I posted this in the PWG thread but at BOLA there was a match between Matt Sydal and John Hennigan. Either Excalibur or Taylor referred to it as a "rematch from ECW" and both just cracked up.

Fun article but it falls apart when they suggest maybe HBO planted the account on Getty. The guy has over 1600 photos there and the article cherry-picked a few that are Westworldy.
The real revelation is that, with this show's massive budget, they dropped $435 on a stock photo instead of doing a quick shoot someplace.

In unrelated news, Chuck E Cheese establishments in and around Memphis just hired extra security staff.

I don't know how things work now a days but I've gotten lucky a few times because the cops overstepped what they were supposed to be doing.
If all that stuff was just laying around, Colby is an idiot and yeah he's probably fucked, but cops start snooping around on an unrelated reason, well the line starts to blur and you'd be wise to get a shark lawyer.

When did kids start just calling it "prom" instead of "the prom?" Leaving off the "the" makes it sound like Wrestlemania.

They're all programmed that way, that's how they know not to significantly harm Guests.
Although I'm questioning how the guns worked, as any gun will kill a Host, but not Guests, but a Host won't shoot a Guest point blank (I'm guessing safety measures), so I assume that would stop Guest on Guest violence, but you have to figure two guys got drunk enough to shoot each other point blank at some point.
Yeah, they REALLY did not go into how the safety situation worked in any satisfactory manner. I get that the hosts' guns fired something that could hit the guests but not kill, but they didn't get into it enough at all. And what about physical violence? Were they just programmed with the knowledge of how to rough someone up without doing real, lasting harm (like a pro wrestler or really skilled abusive spouse)? I'm not paying five figures to get punched in the face.

Am I the only one who finds this show much more enjoyable to talk about than watch? I honestly don't know if I liked a single episode of this show, but I do find it fascinating to discuss.
Right there with you. I put Westworld up there with Mr. Robot as a frustrating mystery box show that didn't need to be. Both had lots of slick creative choices and looked amazing, with very cool atmosphere and world building, but with a purposefully nebulous narrative. Why did they have to keep so much stuff secret for so long when, as @nofuture just said, most of the "twists" were telegraphed a mile away.
To put it another way, the mysteries should serve the story. They shouldn't be the entire point of the story. It shouldn't feel like the writers started off with a twist or big reveal, then worked backwards, crafting the narrative around it.
I was discussing this show with a coworker who said, "I enjoyed it but I felt like it crapped out maybe halfway in. It was good but it's not something I'm going to go out of my way to recommend to people."
This is not to say I disliked it because that's not true. But they piled up so much stuff that I lost track. Shit, I didn't even notice that the final episode was a Ford face turn, where he admitted that Arnold was right, until I read it in a review. When a key point like that is missed due to the sheer weight of the shit you've piled up, it's time to back off just a bit.

Maeve was the one chosen to escape (she was still programmed), *BUT*, she's the only Host that actually gained consciousness, as she broke programming and left the train to go back.
47 minutes ago, Craig H said:I still don't think Maeve left the train on free will. I'm more of the mindset that nothing happens unless it's supposed to. Plus, Felix shows Maeve that her escape is part of her story so it stands to reason that returning to find her daughter is part of that story.
Maybe Ford orchestrated the whole escape attempt to distract Delos staff from seeing him somehow completely empty cold storage and put all those hosts back in the park.
