That's awesome. Like BB season 2's titles contained "737 Down Over ABQ."

Exactly. One of the big ideas behind this show is, "let's show how the zombie apocalypse starts and how society breaks down." Thing is, nobody ever asked for that and we don't need that. There's a reason zombie movies (and even the original Waling Dead) skip past that or pay quick lip service to it and move on. As an audience, we're already educated to what zombies are and what they do. Showing us a world where they've never heard of zombies and have to figure this shit out, S-L-O-W-L-Y, is just frustrating to watch. "Tales from The Walking Dead" would have been amazing. That's a great idea. Cliff Curtis is the most amusing part of this show for me. I'm looking at him saying, "is he supposed to be Latino? Because he looks Indian." The I look him up on IMDB and he's actually Maori. Hollywood: yeah, just call all the brown people we can find and we'll figure it out.

Seriously?!? LOL holy shit. "I want you to buy controlling interest but not really, you know, have control." Now I'm thinking about the time a while back where it looked like she would have been able to hire Heyman to run the whole show, but decided not to because Paul wanted complete control, including over hires and fires. That would have turned the company around, but nope. Some people just will not accept a life preserver no matter what.

Wow, what an episode. First, you think it's so heartbreaking that Kim is defending Jimmy and being played for a fool, then there's the total reversal in that she absolutely knew Chuck was right. That's some great shit right there. I read a feature story on Vince Gilligan a while back and one point he made was how his Southern Catholic upbringing and the ideas of "biblical atonement" and "justice" inform his storytelling. Nobody "breaks bad" and gets away without damage to their soul. And it doesn't just hurt the wrongdoer; there's collateral damage as well. We see it twice in this episode alone. Jimmy pulls off a con job to get Mesa Verde back and Chuck ends up paying the price for it (so Jimmy does, too). Mike robs the Salamancas in an attempt to get back at them and an innocent bystander dies in the process. Look at Mike's face at the end and you can see it sinking in. The overarching theme of both Breaking Bad and BCS is that you can't stray from good without doing irreparable damage and losing part of yourself. You'll live the high life for a while, but you'll eventually end up in a Cinnebon in Omaha.

I was at that show (Starrcade) and I remember leaving the arena and everybody just felt deflated. Like you said, anything outside of Sting getting absolute revenge and decisively destroying Hogan would have been an failure and, because of power plays and political bullshit, that's what we got. WCW everybody.

God damn @ both of these. Best of luck to both of you and yours.

Remember when TNA was close to being sold and the sticking point that sunk the deal was that Dixie still needed to be a figurehead on TV and IRL, and the new owners wouldn't be allowed to mention that she wasn't running things? Now they're probably going to sell the company for far less with no strings at all. Sometimes clowns like the Carters do get what's coming to them.

This only because Vince is a little senile. He was thinking, "God DAMN, Fuji, you look good."

Is Kincaid the guy from Appalachia? That's an interesting dude and I wish he'd won the Top Prospect Tournament instead of another 5'3" 130lb tiny tiny flippy guy. There is literally nothing interesting or new about they guy who won, who is so ho-hum that I honestly can't remember his name right now despite having asked about him in the ROH thread yesterday.

God damn. Maybe the proximity of Cornette's pic caused a casual racist humor bleedthrough.

Yeah, that's what happens when you pull a desperation angle out of your ass, pile on nonsensical stips in a sad attempt to heat it up more, then run it in a vacuum. You end up just pretending it didn't happen once it's done. I'm still trying to understand the following: Why did Shane agree to a match in the first place? He already had blackmail material on Vince so what leverage did Vince have on him to make him work the match? That makes zero sense. There was some sort of intimation in Shane's return promo that he was still in power and was above Triple H and Steph, but that was quickly forgotten about. WTF? Why did Undertaker fight for Vince? Why, if the company was on the line, did everybody else in the company treat this storyline like it wasn't happening? Why did the match not have 8-12 run-ins like everybody thought it would?

It was both. It was a double tables match and Terminator X was teaming with Chuck, filling in for Flavor Flav who was in jail again. Things were looking pretty grim for our boys until the S1Ws did a run-in. Bill Goldberg defeated Professor Griff in a grudge match on the undercard.

Nothing at all. They just needed another big match for Mania. Vince is lazy, unimaginative and has no faith in anybody from this generation so that was they best they could come up with. We should have known, when HHH and Steph were nowhere to be seen -- in an angle where their jobs were supposedly on the line -- that nothing was going to come of this. I mean come the fuck on. It was an angle where the entire future of the company was at stake and nobody outside the principles involved with it even talked about it. Damn. It was a hotshot angle that existed in a parallel universe and had nothing to do with the existing storylines.

They'd need to make Smackdown totally different from Raw to make it a better show. It's can't just be a Raw Lite, meaningless two hours of programming because Raw is already too god damn long as it is. The brand split/different titles ideas are great but they should change the look, too. I remember hearing from either Court Bauer or Alex Greenfield on a podcast talking about how they proposed back in the day for Smackdown to be a totally different show like this, complete with a different director, producer and crew. There was initial agreement from Vince but he changed his mind and somehow it was shot down. I don't know how, but it just didn't get dunn. I mean done. Sorry for the typo.

Has Lio Rush been on TV since winning the Top Prospect tournament?

LOL @ this company. Way to honor those stips

Michael Caine doesn't give a shit. Is the weather nice where they're shooting? Do I have bills to pay or somethign big and nice I'd like to buy? I'm there.

2-3 posts in a row mentioned bands and wrestlers, so forgive my confusion as I imagined Chuck D powerbombing a dude through a table

I take it you're cool with the people sitting near you talking through a movie, too. After all, why should you care if that's how they personally enjoy it? For me, the reaction of the live crowd is part of the show. It's more exciting to watch a great match if the live crowd is reacting along with it. So a bunch of ignorant chucklefucks singing through a match for their own amusement kind of brings things down a notch.

Mincing garlic is super easy if you have a good chef's knife and you use the flat of the blade to crush it first. Crushing it while it still has the "paper" on it makes it so much easier to peel as well. Just snip the hard ends off, crush it, peel and mince.

Won't somebody please think of all the white males who can't get roles in Hollywood because the PC SJW casting directors keep putting women in these movies?

Just got to the women's title match. Yay, more fans singing instead of actually investing in the match.

Oh holy shit that is fucking amazing. Speaking of...if the interviewer does ask a wacky outside the box question like those listed here, feel free to choke them the fuck out. Drag their unconscious body to the HR office, explain what happened. Any company worth a damn will hire you on general principle.

Zane Bresloff, who promoted Mania 3 in Michigan, gave Dave the 78,000 number. Faxed it right to him, and Wiki bros are still all, "Metzler is bias he never lieked WWF!" It's insane.

Oh I do, too. Job interviews are just a bullshit game and everybody knows it. The key is really to just not say anything that would disqualify you and to be personable enough that they think you can get along.
