Technico Support

I just read on a grapz nooz site that John Gurburick (sp?) is in New York right now. Speculation is he is supposedly signing a TV deal but he very well could be just picking up a slice.

I assumed Rick and the gang would incapacitate the Terminians Termites Terminus people and leave them for the zombies but what we got was fine, too.

Some people have very specific things that bug them. Dre considers any criticism of Dunn to be beyond the pale annoying smart mark behavior because, I guess, we can't actually prove any of the multitude of awful Dunn stories. For example, none of us were actually in the room when Dunn helped tank the Invasion angle by complaining to Vince that "their guys" shouldn't beat "our guys." So we shouldn't talk about Dunn because we weren't there and don't know the truth despite many many stories from interviews and the like essentially verifying it.

Oh christ, this again. I'm starting to think you are Kevin Dunn considering how much you white knight for the guy.

Dude went to his cosmetic surgeon and said, "make me look like the love child of Bill Gates and John Voight."

Holy shit, I was thinking the same thing, "why is Sid a palette swap Mark Henry?" Also, Ric Flair, Pantsless Mad Scientist could have been money. He already figured out a way to fix Arn's bald spot. Aside from the piss poor artwork, what's the concept here? Are they imbuing Sid with the essence of Sting? Is Sting a giant head like Oz? I just don't get it.

THIS is what absolutely killed Iron Man 2 for me. The big final battle was Iron Man and War Machine vs a bunch of robots and it suddenly hit me that I was just watching a glorified cartoon.

It's awesome when the people who run shows learn from criticism. The Hershel's Farm season, where it seems like every episode revolved around whether Carl was in the house and if not, why not, was such a low point. A lot of people hated the show for that and it seems like they've learned because, as you said, they're burning through plot points they would have dragged out in prior seasons.

Oh man can we segue this to some AJ Styles hate? I'm watching BOLA and on night one the Styles match stands out like a sore thumb as far as style and effort go. His match with Brian Myers is smack in the middle of some awesome stuff and it just kills the show for a while. You get Elgin and Ciampa in a crazy slugfest, O'Reilly and Gulak in an insane technical match, and in between, Stylish Allen Jones doing the same old shit he's done for the past 10 years, absolutely nothign new, just coasting by with his his early-2000s tired-ass 4-5 indy spotz. Way to bring it, 2014 Honky Tonk Man. And then he botched the finish and had to hit his pathetic finisher twice after the match to get his heat back brother.

Cool, maybe it's an issue with my shitty affiliate who still can't air it at the time the cable guide says it's on.

So today begins the countdown to Honey Boo Boo's first armed robbery arrest or OD?

Serkis is playing Blade. They'll CG him because that's more reliable than using Wesley Snipes.

WWE is a variety show. Run by a guy who wanted to give Kane's character in See No Evil a three foot dick.

Writers write for Vince's tastes. As long as that's the case, we're only going to have two kinds of women's angles: GIRL A and GIRL B are vile, shallow, catty bitches to each other or GIRL A is a repressed lesbian who wants to fuck GIRL B. Someone said it here before: WWE writers are the service of an insane king. You can't fantasy book about how they should bring up a particular woman when the head guy in charge has weird issues with the opposite sex that always seem to come out in the writing. How many angles did Trish Stratus have where another girl was obsessed with her and wanted to fight/fuck/kill her? I can think of three.

Kurt's mark doctor read that plan and put in an order for a new yacht.

ROH needs to start shooting in HD. I don't know about you guys but my local affiliate stretches it instead of just putting bars on the side of the screen. So Jay Lethal looks thick as fuck, like 2/3 Rusev. And the Blodbound Warriors look like The Hulk.

I'm guessing Ultron is just the natural progression of the self-sufficient Iron Man suits from the third movie. Stark keeps refining them until he makes one too good. Spader sounds a little like Cranston btw

Okay that is amazing and I demand we get one for every PPV.

There are people whose whole life is their job and there are people who work to make money in order to have a life outside work. The former rarely understand the latter.

The "how did we get a piece on Stonehenge here" handwave is the best fuck you ever.

Word. I'd rather watch 9 hours of PWG insane spots and general goofiness than a few minutes of "fat dudes with good punches" or any other "pro wrestling is serious business" type stuff. Two dudes getting stuck trying to superkick each other is great. GREAT.

I heard that podcast this morning and thought the same thing. Between his brief appearance on Cabana's most recent podcast and hearing about him being a dick to a fan who recently asked for an autograph at a Blackhawks game, he really does come off like a miserable, joyless asshole.

Yeah, you can tell the final episode of the season was written pretty much as a series finale.

That's a pretty cool idea but if you're truly assuming that's what WWE writers are going for -- an accurate representation and/or spoof of corporate culture -- then you are giving them far too much credit. I sincerely doubt anyone is thinking too far past, "well they are evil authority figures out the screw the babyfaces."

Welp, The Bridge has been cancelled
