People who back into parking spaces bug the fuck out of me. It takes so much longer and holds up traffic. This is especially egregious in really busy parking lots. And they never park well, to boot. They're either over the line or too damn close to it. Consistently. Motherfucker you don't need the rapid deployment that comes with being able to drive straight out of a space. I haven't proven this scientifically but I guarantee it takes a lot less time to pull straight into a spot and back out than it does to back in and drive straight out. Oh man seriously fuck these people.

So either: Vince is so paranoid about finishes getting out that they kept it secret until they absolutely had to OR Vince is so mercurial that he didn't decide until the night of the show Neither is a good option.

LOL indeed. Best. Auto. Correcting. Ever. LOL nah, I'm on a real keyboard and literally typed "porn" instead of "pork." Awesome Freudian slip. Glad I'm not the only one!

He switched to low cal porn and beans

It makes me sad, after Lost and Damned and Gay Tony last time, that we'll probably get zero single player DLC this time around.

This skeeves me out.

Re: Yukes and the NJPW games. I remember the late 90s/early 2000s when I had a modded Playstation and NJPW1 & 2 were the just the fucking BEST wrestling games. Seriously, you have to remember that the only other wrestling games for the system were horrible (the Acclaim WWF games and Nitro) or barely passable (WCW vs the World), with one bright spot being Power Move Pro Wrestling, a somewhat dumbed-down localization of NJPW 1. Then I heard the NJPW team -- Yuke's -- was making a Smackdown game and I was so fucking excited. And then we got what we got. Simplified, awful control scheme that did away with NJPW's elegant paper/scissrs/rock controls, fewer gameplay options, worse graphics. Amazing.

That's a really great point. In the hands of lesser writers and directors (big 4 networks), Hamlin would be a one-note Snidely Whiplash.

This is currently the only wrestling shirt I own but I love it.

Maybe it's just the slo mo but that's the softest, weakest bump off a pounce I've ever seen.

While on tour with Metallica Tore every single muscle in his body and rebroke the arm he initially broke shooting on Choshu.

Olympus Has Fallen is the vastly superior "White House under siege" movie.

Weeaboo American fans don't want proper English.

It's probably just confirmation bias but I like how the store looks like Ammunation. Needs "Battle Hymn of the Republic" playing over the speakers.

I have reached my vote quota for the day so I will just have to post to tell you that that's awesome.

Wrong guy, in hindsight, for an anti-gun PSA https://youtu.be/1nAfWfF4TjM

On a side note: the guy who plays Trevor showed up on Better Call Saul. I lost my shit.

Who will be NXT's Glass Joe now????

Which show is better? Who cares? I just think X7 gets a lot of undue praise for a card that had Eddie/Test go 8 minutes for a worthless belt with a horrible botch where a dude got literally stuck in the ropes on the biggest show of the year, Raven/Show/Kane stumble around hardcore fuckery, RTC vs APA and Tazzzz, a Chyna singles bout and a battle royal where the winner had to be the guy who couldn't take a bump. Oh and was that the card that had HHH take a bump on an obvious crash pad? Neat. And holy shit, you want to talk bad booking as your metric for show quality? Mania X7's main event and post-match booking killed the company's hottest period in history. That's a million times worse than "the wrong guy won a world title which is essentially meaningless today." The better matches of X7 are better than the good matches on Wrestlemania (Play Button) but this year's show's "lows" (Sting should have won I guess?) are far ahead of the low points of X-7, so I'll be charitable and call it a push. Also LOL @ "I'm on 3 wrestling message boards and nobody agrees with you." That is fucking beautiful. You have made my day.

LOL. Seriously what is the point? Just Jarrett doing the only thing he knows how to do in life, I guess?

Eh, Mania X-7 (not 17 but ECKS SEVEN because that is XTREME) had more stinkers than this show, fwiw.

That does explain a lot, actually - you're unaware of the build and why that made the finish suck. Oh no, I keep tabs on it. I listen to the Metlzer podcasts and read a quick recap on Tuesdays, I just know it's not worth my time every week, even with fast-forwarding. I understand the buildup. Though maybe my lack of investment in it keeps me from caring too much.

There is most certainly an "after" if they're going to try to sell a single PPV using Sting ever again - especially Sting-Taker. Never understood or cared for the attitude of "appreciate this shit for being the shit it is instead of wishing it were better." WWE can do better than Michael fucking Bay. They don't want to be better. You're in the minority. Why watch something and wish it was better? You're eating at McDonald's and are pissed it's not Ruth's Chris. Only wrestling fans and followers of bad sports teams put themselves through this. If a TV show sucks, just watch a better show. There's too much awesome wrestling out there to waste your time pining for the days when WWE was consistently good. Actually, those days never existed; you just got "smarter" as a fan and your expectations grew. I'll never understand these fans for whom WWE does nothing but they still watch. You're right; their week to week booking is garbage and I can't stand it. So I just watch NXT, Lucha Underground, ROH, PWG, etc and I'm happy. Is hindsight, I probably enjoyed Mania because it was the only WWE show I've watched in months aside from maybe 2 matches from the last PPV.

It was a fun match. I couldn't get worked up over the finish because Sting doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. It was a guest spot for a guy who is essentially done so who cares if he's "dead in the water" after? There is no "after." People argue that Wyatt should have won because he'll still be there tomorrow. Well so is HHH. Christ, I watched Sting beat Flair for the title in person, what, 26 years ago? This is like getting mad about your favorite band from decades past having their greatest hits CD not win Grammy. Finishes haven't mattered in WWE for a long time now. Doubly so for Wrestlemania recently. Getting mad about these finishes is like is like seeing a Michael Bay movie and being mad that it wasn't as good as Citizen Kane or whatever.
