  1. 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.
  2. Gunkel looks like a young Al Franken. "You're going to win, Ray, because you're good enough, you're smart enough and gosh darn it, people like you."
  3. it looks like watchwrestling.cc has them
  4. Maybe AJ Styles is really "Jay Styles" but his parents named him in Pig Latin.
  5. 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.
  6. Sleaze and Ball - The Date Rapists. Reminds me of when Bob Holly and Billy Gunn teamed for a bit and their finisher was the "Gunn Holly Bomb," or "GHB."
  7. 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: 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.
  8. 3 way match between Briscoe, Lethal and Babytista, winner keeps the J. Honestly, Lethal should have changed his name to James when he turned heel. Also, how does a Delaware redneck end up with a first name of "Jamin?"
  9. 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.
  10. Taker is so old he started swinging at Victor because he was having Skyscrapers vs Road Warriors flashbacks.
  11. The best thing about that Zandig video is that it led to this, and I'm fucking LOLLIN' like a retard
  12. I just saw an article where Jennifer Lawrence says she's probably done with Mystique after this because she's afraid of the "toxins" that are maybe probably who knows in the makeup. Another Hollywood rocket scientist there. Maybe the makeup reacts with her "gluten intolerance."
  13. Either keep it in the packaging or have fun explaining to non wrestling fans why there's a figure of an old lady in a bathrobe on your desk.
  14. LOLTNA part MCMXVII I love this part: That's then kind of bullshit your boss and/or HR spins. "Yes, it's a pay cut but there's a chance it could work out in your favor!" Nobody ever believes that shit. Of course, this pay cut might lower talent's takehome pay enough that they could qualify for government assistance, so they have that little silver lining there.
  15. The only explanations are 1) Dave is somewhere on The Spectrum (come on, who among us hasn't thought that at least once?) or 2) there are some really sweet drugs out there in Campbell, Cali. i just re-read that paragraph two more times and, Jesus Christ, it is fucking dumb. "They're blowing spots because they're taking the match to another level" is some shit Vince Russo would have been burned at the stake for even attempting. I enjoy Dave for the most part but his Puroblindness is maddening.
  16. Oh Dave. Japan: where blown spots are given a pass because maybe they're planned (???) and where every match automatically gets 1.5 stars added to it because of geography.
  17. Is that the real poster or a Colorforms playset?
  18. 1) Because nobody gives a shit about wrestling 2) ISPs, phone companies & large software manufacturers are much more relevant to the public interest and need to be scrutinized/regulated 3) WWE buying out ROH is not like, say, Comcast buying Time Warner. It's more like Coke buying out Faygo.
  19. Maybe WWE is negotiating with Destination America to drop TNA and ROH in favor of a NXT show?
  20. I liked episode 1 but now it feels like it's getting a little far up its own ass. Also, I get the feeling the Christian Slater character is some Tyler Durden shit and if I'm right abut that, that's fucking lame. I will give it this: it gets the technology aspect a little better than most have in the past, though some of the things they say are still technology word salad. I loved them shiting on "Hackers" while the main episode had a GUI representation of data flowing to servers with the infected server flashing red as Elliott worked feverishly to redirect the flow of data to a different server like that shit isn't instantaneous. Regardless of how much better this show does tech (a low bar, honestly), it still has to make concessions for a visual medium because real hacking, troubleshooting, coding, etc is boring as fuck. EDIT: Always great to see Keith David, that smooth motherfucker, getting voiceover work. Louie is really hit or miss and you can't really compare it to Curb. It's more of an experimental, artsy show for CK to do whatever he feels like doing. If you're tuning in for a comedy, you'll be disappointed because there are fewer laughs as the show goes on. The "The Woods" arc was especially head scratching, though Jeremy Renner was really good. I'm glad that, as you're doing, I watched it via other means, as I can't imagine slogging through season 4 on a week to week basis. I enjoy Louie's freeform casting, as CK has stated he just hires the best people for the role. This includes Louie's African American wife and mother to his two Aryan kids and F. Murray Abraham showing up in various episodes as Louie's uncle, Louie's dad and a weird swinger completely unrelated. I disagree with lacelle's assertion that Curb is a one man show. Susie, Jeff, Funkhauser, Smooth, etc were all awesome on the show and I'm sure I'm forgetting some people.
  21. Fans chanting "Baby-tista" at J. Diesel was fucking awesome
