  1. Yeah, like 20 years ago, the SmackDown 6 were having all these insane matches with each other every week on TV, and it got to the point where it became almost impossible to top those on PPV. I guess they managed to pull it off at SurSer'02, but after that, not so much.
  2. Yeah, I noticed that too. Of course, we don't actually KNOW what Cody is going to say next week. It could always be "Sorry guys, I'm still a good month away from returning to the ring, but decided to show up, so you won't forget who the real star of the show is!" And yeah @Ramo2653 , I assumed that the powerbomb through the table was a DQ, too! Like the story was "I had him pinned and you forced me to throw the match by getting DQ'd basically on purpose and for no reason". I think that would have protected Wardlow better. The small package finish would have been fine, if Punk could have sinched it in tighter and more desperate. As is, it looked a bit sloppy and thusly made Wardlow look a bit weak.
  3. Four workouts this week, with Thursday off so I could watch Dynamite and most of NXT 2.0. Monday and Tuesday I already covered, Wednesday was the usual Monday-type workout with dips and reverse shrugs and 66 lbs of extra weights. Once I got down to 22 lbs I also did 2 sets of pull-ups. Friday was moderate weight, but high-ish rep workout on the Squat machine and calves getting their shit it as well. Also some more curls with a pair of 33's, 22's and 11's when unloading the machine. The biking weather changed from good to slushy to icy and bumpy within 5 days. Nothing was bad enough to make me skip any planned workouts, so that's well enough. Thursday was a planned day off from the gym. The weight is howering around 190 at the moment and since it's the weekend, it's not about to go down from that. My abs have taken a hit, for sure, but right now, I'll go for all the mass (and strength) I can get, until late spring at least. Good week, with the redemption story of actually lifting the 504 on the trapbar being the highlight.
  4. Wow, now we are cooking. Barretta is in great shape, which of course helps if you keep on getting your ass kicked like that. Spears made some decent points on his promo and did solidify the fact that Punk is hanging by a thread to his prime. Penelope is crazy limber, and yeah Bunny is just crazy. Nyla did most of the ass-kicking though. Hirsch is having legit attitude problems. Some of the tag team sequences in the main event were just insane. Good stuff. Oh, and I should be offended by Goth Phase by The Acclaimed, but I like both Goth and Hip Hop so I guess I'm fine with it.
  5. The gimmick is stupid but actually hilarious at the same time. The idea that she is very efficient, but is only willing to expend the very least amount of energy possible, and rests at every opportunity otherwise is funny. If you replace "rests" with "doesn't bother" she actually reminds me of a certain popular citrus. ...seems like everyone has already seen the similarity with OC's charachter and apparently others, too.
  6. I doubt it has been tried, but if it has, it's probably something pretty crazy. If it's still up for grabs, maybe you should just go for it!
  7. The idea that @EVA pointed out that CM Punk is being booked as close to over the hill, but with an equalizer up his sleeve is wonderful if true! Also, @Matt D stressed that no one on the roster is just having one story at the time, which I think is very cool, as long as you have a spreadsheet to keep it all coherent. For example, on soap operas, when a new character is introduced, they usually have at least three tie-ins with existing cast, so there is immediately plenty of potential stories to tell. I find this fascinating and am all for it, so as long most of it makes sense in the end (if also during, even better)!
  8. MJF, that walking bag of dicks caused Wardlow that match! Punk was dead in the water after bomb number three! In fact, Punk seemed like no match for Wardlow. Getting caught by a small package like that was actually pretty weak. Hobbs looked good. Jericho and Kingston had words. MJF with some quality trolling right there! Punk vs Spears, a main event anywhere in the country. Jesus, Archer! You killed him!
  9. Would Pat McAfee suffice? I mean they could have a confrontation at the Rumble announce desk when one or both of them step out of line with their commentary? It would be at least feasible since they are both announcers and douches!
  10. Yeah, the artist later known as Deacon Sharpe would be a cery welcome addition. I wonder what the odds of getting Hilary Swank to come in for one episode are? She could have some of Miyagi's wisdom that Daniel wasn't around to hear, or depending on what profession she chose as an adult, she could come to Daniel's aid in many different ways, story permitting.
  11. Apparently, it's Wednesday. Could someone please tell me what that means?!
  12. Since I unwittingly mislead my fellow posters by claiming to have cleared 500 lbs on the trapbar before Xmas, I needed to rectify this, and I did so, yesterday. The trapbar itself is starting to look like a Xmas tree with all these things dangling off it. But the workout was as follows: 3x251, 3x383, 3x471, 3x493, 3x504, 3x493, 3x471, 3x405 plus a bunch of shrugs. I did the first bench workout of the year on Monday, but two sets of 3 with 275 was as high as I got. @Log Congrats on the squat, I hope your back gets better soon!
  13. They seem legit to me! Unless Matt can provide the originals with him on them instead of Joey, I'm inclined to believe Janela!
  14. I liked Sammy's sell of the first CrossRhodes and pretty much everything Dustin did. Also was very impressed with with Matt Sydal has left at this point. Main event was a match.
  15. Apparently he is taking the US part really seriously! All this picture is missing is a F'n Xmas tree!
  16. Damn, that's a dilemma then! If you find a cool little channel with neat stuff in it, the best way to help them exist in the future is to not watch the channel! Aaargh!
  17. Not going cold turkey, that's for sure. I got the AEW+ and watched all three main shows of this week and have about zero attachment to any of it so far, so it will take some time. I have next to zero attachment to current main show WWE, but the fringes and the old stuff still keep me going with the Network, at least.
  18. I wonder if that "no borders policy" works both ways or is read as "anyone of yours can work for us but none of ours can work for you"?
  19. If he'd wear like 3 inch lifts inside his boots, he could totally pull it off, too!
  20. Sure, THOSE are traits they want to copy from real corporations! Well, on the corporate side, they did seem to treat their actual employees (that have nothing to do with creative and further away from Vince) pretty decently until 2020, unless I'm forgetting something similarly bad from earlier.
  21. Money well spent, I'm sure, but still. Look, if you have 5 grand to throw away on something like that, you may have too much in a way of disposable income.
  22. Wouldn't that be a thing most people in general want to experience, anyway? ... ... ... What?
  23. I had a vision of a Bavarian-style singlet/lederhosen combo and now I'm regretful of putting that out into the universe.
  24. Hey, it may not take THAT long to get there. When Walter gets to the main roster it will not take very long to go through the phases of a singlet -> dancing -> fired (probably mid program with someone) and then he'll be free to do all that. Until then, he can still do pretty cool stuff on NXT.
