  1. We've seen five seasons of the Walking Dead and have learned how you're supposed to conduct yourself in this scenario.  So it's hard to feel sympathy when that barge of refugees shows up when you know, per Rick, you should just sink that barge and GTFO.

    Isn't this pretty much the argument for Sting not being a Hall of Famer (the Gordy List.  I.E., if Sting was so great, why didn't JCP draw better)?

     

     

    I think there's more to it than that.  Sting was an above average wrestler who was great against great opponents (Flair and Vader stand out) and just kind of there against guys not at that level.  He drew horribly as world champ, so much so that they had to take the belt off him early.  Is that all his fault?  No, the booking was shit, too.  Arguably, he was a big part of WCW's boom period but I'd say the NWO was the real draw.  Really, it comes down to asking why Sting should be in and I have no answer for that.  A lot of people just argue that it's a "Hall of fame" and that, well,  he is a really famous wrestler so he should be in.

    When the wife and I were in Los Angeles for New Year's, I stopped by El Segundo Brewing to get a bottle of broken skull. I tweeted a picture of the bottle and commented that's how I was ringing in the new year. Twenty minutes later I got a tweet back from Steve saying "Same here!" and marked the hell out!

    That's awesome.  How's the beer?

  4. I'm of the opinion the NWO wouldn't have been nearly as big or mainstream if Hogan hadn't been there.  But at the end of the day, it bankrupted the company, so was it worth it?

    I always laugh when Hogan or Bischoff call attention to the fact that Sting didn't show up in shape that night as if that was some sort of contributing factor to how flat and awful the whole thing was.  Like they would have changed their shit booking if Sting showed up looking like Luger.

    I don't think you'll see anything like that happen til the old man is out of the picture and WWE continues to branch out and be less insular

    We can hope but the problem is the company will still be run by people who don't watch sports or popular TV.  HHH & Steph are just as far in the old time wrestling bubble as Vince is.  Maybe their kids will be able to expand their interests a bit.

    Not that it would be a huge shock for the season finale, but someone figured out that the first letter of each episode title this season can be anagrammed into...

      Reveal hidden contents

    Fring's back

     

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

     It's like someone said "hey, let's take the first 30 minutes of Every Zombie Outbreak Movie EVER, and then stretch that out to four fucking hours!

    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.

    I think the show would have been better served being an anthology of some sort, where you follow a small band of survivors for a couple episodes at a time.

    "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.

  8. 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.
