The Comedian

I been here since '99 and I don't remember the political board. I guess even in my youth I had the good sense to avoid something like that... Now the porn board on the other hand...

Plus let's not continue the narrative of "Bill Simmons: Valiant Crusader Against The Evil Roger Goodell"

Oh gee, no more tournaments to crown Will Ferrell the best SNL cast member or articles about how Above The Rim is the best Hip-Hop soundtrack. How awful. Seriously man, even setting aside the fact that everybody knows that Menace II Society is the best Hip-Hop soundtrack, Above The Rim isn't even that good. It's not top ten all time.

The fuck? Scott Keith thinks he's Meltzer now or something?

Basically this, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and Book Of Eli are what made her a hot commodity...she can act but she's made a lot of shit choices...

Pisses me off that Dajuan Wagner got caught up in that shit. Dude was the best player ever out of South Jersey, it's a goddamn shame ulcerative colitis robbed him of a pro career...

You're right...Max Payne was a dull mess of a movie...

I hate MMA precisely because it's real and real fights aren't entertaining. And to add to Nature Boy's point, every friend I've had who wrestled in high school has an absolute knee-jerk disdain for pro wrestling.

I always heard they ripped off Grant Morrison's The Invisibles. Not that I'd know, I can barely decipher Morrison's mainstream stuff like his X-Men run let alone his esoteric shit...

lol I used to troll my NASCAR-fan cousin when we were kids by calling his favorite driver Crusty Wallace...

I don't think wrestling fans are seen as hicks these days so much as they're seen as slackers. Otaku, if you weeeell. Then you have the PG-era paradox of a show aimed largely at kids that runs late night. What's USA to do, run toy commercials at 10 PM? NASCAR fans are hicks, and hicks spend lots of money on beer and tools and giant pick-up trucks...

Reggie White had some unfortunate beliefs but I still love the dude cause seriously Greatest Eagle Ever and all that...plus he was like a brother to my teenage idol and Single Favorite Pro Athlete Of All Time Jerome Brown...I can't watch their episode of A Football Life without bawling like a baby...

No I blame the cheating-ass Patriots for that one.

Let's see, Philly players I have disliked in the past: Donovan McNabb - A warrior on the field. Off the field, a petulant, thin-skinned passive-aggressive baby. Loved to play the martyr to the press in Philly, then he left and thankfully others got to see that it wasn't just us mean, nasty Philly fans picking on poor Donovan. Charles Barkley - He's rehabbed himself since but man did I fucking hate the Barkley of his last season who emasculated Armon Gilliam and whined his way into forcing the Sixers to trade him for a bunch of nothing. I'm still glad he never won a title. Scott Rolen - This guy was just a miserable, aloof prick who forced his way off the Phils right before they got good. Yeah he still ended up getting a ring or two in St. Louis but he coulda been part of the World Fuckin' Champs in '08. Eagles 2011 "Dream Team" Acquisitions - Man fuck those guys. Nnamdi Asomugha didn't even show up once he got his money. Jason Babin might be the most hated-by-his-own-fanbase player ever to have an 18-sack season. A year later they were showing him and his mentor/fellow jockass douchenozzle Jim Washburn the door. Those two weren't locker room cancers, they were locker room ALS or something...

That's the thing though, to a rational mind it's case by case, to Vince it's proof positive. (edit: I guess in my previous post I should have made it clearer that Vince was proved right in his own mind.) In the end I think we're all pretty much in agreement here that Vince is at post-dementia Al Davis level at this point.

The problem with WrestleMania 30 was that, while the show itself proved how wrong Vince was about general booking, the aftermath proved him completely right about not wanting to build his company around indie darlings who came to him with a lot of mileage...

Wow, someone else remembers Superforce existing. I was about to say there were a couple different tiers of those weekend syndicated shows that came on Saturday afternoons on the local channels. They got more low budget and forgettable and I remember Superforce and some other show about a mercenary team that came on right after it that were in the bottom level of action tv series. Superforce was the one with Larry B. Scott as the hero's tech geek assistant right? That show was on point.

He got a tryout, which spawned stories about HHH allegedly burying him to Vince for being "too indy". Which in hindsight I suppose was either untrue anti-HHH propaganda, or HHH kissing up to Vince by telling him what he wanted to hear.

Yeah, I really don't get it. Like, hey, they didn't name him the night he debuted, so when they do give him a name, let's continually refer to him with random words that start with his initials. Okaaaaaaaaay...

To be fair, there's a difference between pretending to chest-press Henry while he jumps in the air, and lifting and flipping him in a waistlock from a standing headscissors...

I was legitimately shocked that Rollins repeatedly calling for the sound guys to hit his music didn't lead to Sweet Chin Music. I mean, they actually passed up a chance to have a retired 50-year-old lay out Rollins. Maybe that's why everyone was so hopeful about the main event...

Man people are really excited here over Mark Henry being downgraded from Worf Effect guy to straight-up JTTS...

Also, note to WWE creative, if you don't want to telegraph the fact that promos are scripted, maybe don't have 23-year-olds making Sally Jesse Raphael references...

You know all they had to do was have, say, Bray slap Seth in the face or something,rekindle his competitive fire, tease a reawakening of the old Shield chemistry. It would've done wonders for rebuilding Seth's character. So of course they chickenshit him out again instead...

Angle's kind of the opposite of Sting. The WWE wanted Sting for years while he continually resisted. Angle's wanted to come back for years but WWE doesn't want to blow their "Hey, we told him to quit a decade ago" alibi if he dies young.
