Just finished the game. Just as awesome as it was the first time. I got a little verklempt when the splash screen for the final mission came up, knowing what was coming.

If you ain't down with the Pythagorean theorem, AJ's got two words for ya.

A "gym rat" gimmick for Roddy wouldn't fly in WWE since Vince's perception of gym rats is that they should all look like this:

Naomi working an EDM festival kid gimmick just as the EDM bubble is bursting is the most WWE thing. Vince is too busy rockin' out to AC/DC with KD on the corporate jet to be current with pop culture.

Do they raise gymnasts like veal? I saw a Brazilian (allegedly) 16 year old last night who was 4'5". That's 2 feet taller than my toddler who isn't even 2 yet. Man that sport skeeves me out.

Yes! That was the show I was talking about! Same here, I was like, "wait, when did they start interviewing Rey?" If you're reading this and haven't heard it, they literally jumped from a talking segment right into the middle of an interview. The following week they started trying to salvage the shitshow by having Gill doing intros for the segments. It's beyond bush league.

It's tough but I'll say the former. TNA is awful but nobody has died due to their shitty product. Well, except Candido. But at least Sunny got a canned ham out of it. Always a silver lining.

I'll put it here because it's part of the "Jericho Network;" wow, the drop in quality of Konnan's show since moving over to Podcast One is stunning. If you haven't heard it yet, the format of the show is pretty much 5-10 minute interviews with different people, one after the other with very little in the way of connective tissue, interspersed with poorly-disguised sponsorship segments like the "Lucha Minute." Like they'll be talking with Rey Mysterio for a while and then the segment just ends inexplicably, with Kevin Gill doing a half-ass intro for an interview with Shane Helms. A few weeks ago, they forgot to do the intros and the show just jumped from one segment to the next to the next and I was wondering if my mp3 app had gotten buggy. It's really obvious that Konnan, Disco & Kevin Gill sat down and recorded long "evergreen" interviews and are parceling them out in bits and pieces, stretching them like turkey meat. The show has zero flow and really nothing feels current. On top of it, weekly guest Juventud Guerera is a waste of time and Disco continues to have terrible opinions and ridiculous HAWT TAKEZ on pro wrestling. The worst of it was listening to Konnan and Bischoff's views on politics, which are barely at a 7th grade level. I'm definitely taking them off my download list. Damn. PS not hating, just stating

I assume she'll work Smackdown since Cesaro is on Raw and fucking with couples gives Vince a chub.

"I thought YOU had him!" It's like when two outfielders are running for the same fly ball and both back off, each assuming the other will get it.

Everybody knows library computers are obsolete

AJ looks like he should be hosting a home improvement show on HGTV or maybe taking a peewee league football game way too seriously.

Dress Joe like the AOP and call them Fat Shield. I loved and miss Nation greatly. Went to a bunch of Dj shows there back before dance music became exclusively hot garbage for bros.

I blame all you motherfuckers who bought Siamese Dream back in 1993. This is some butterfly effect shit.

Instead of memorizing absolutely foreign commands and stressing over it, couldn't Angela have just written them all down in a notepad document and copied/pasted later? Or couldn't the hacker guy just scripted out the commands so she could have just double-clicked and been done with it? Instead of typing one thing at a time on the phone with Darlene, couldn't she have used Teamviewer? I do like this show but their approach to technology is ridiculously hit or miss. They do the impossible but then shit the bed on the easy stuff in order to make things more dramatic. PS Angela couldn't think of an excuse for the FBI guy?? Anybody who's ever worked in an office building knows there's always one awesome bathroom that's always clean and never crowded, and you reserve that for #2. She couldn't just tell the guy that this was her special bathroom? Jeez.

There's a bulldog on the bench and come on, look at the fountain.

I hope not, because that's my least favorite and most intellectually-dishonest response to criticism. Does the chef whose restaurant got a bad review brush it off because the reviewer is not himself a restaurateur?

Great point. WWE almost never does good underdog stories because that's not Vince's thing He wants superheroes that are too cool to give two shits about losing. I can't remember who said it here a while back but that was the difference between WWF booking and NWA (Crockett) booking back in the day. WWF was all about a superhero overcoming villains while Crockett was all about more everyman type good guys striving against an evil enemy they can never truly defeat. The latter is much more true to life.

Well he does sign all his posts "HH."

No "this is where the power lies!" GIF anywhere online? Welp, gotta make one...

Zack Sabre joins the Wyatt family as Bray's cub?

Here you go BROTHER. Happy birthday to a guy who apparently shares the same first name and last initial as me IRL

Ah! Thank you. I was wracking my brain trying to remember the most recent homophobic thing someone said on WWE TV. I guess we haven't come that far from Scott Steiner grabbing the mic and calling Rougeau and Ouellet "Queerbeckers" at a house show 20 years ago.

LOL AJ read the article and put in his notice.

Reading the article, some thoughts: The fact that there's such a thing as "Chief Brand Officer" tells you all you need to know about what a clueless circle jerk corporate America has become. I say this as a guy with a good job at a big company whose marketing staff outnumbers that of other departments that actually do things. I wonder if Pat Patterson ever gets a little tired of being WWE's token gay friend. I absolutely agree with @NickMD. Why even have a "gay storyline?" Just have a character who happens to be gay. Anything else and they absolutely will fuck it up. Imagine a writer telling Vince that he plans on making Roman Reigns gay. Now imagine Vince's response. THAT is how they really feel and that's why this is such a joke.
