Since most of the top "comedic" groups are more in who makes them, it'd likely be: Judd Apatow- Paul Heyman (one really hot run that makes them a star) The Happy Madison group- Dixie Carter (somehow still mean something, no matter how bad the product gets) Setzer/Friedberg- Rob Black (You see how bad it is and eventually just have to pat them on the head and say 'that's...just...special, I guess...")

Question: I'm trying to get my mom a BluRay player for her Christmas present. Does anyone know where the best deal for this was? (I did see the Wal-Mart deals, but for what her goal is- the BluRay player HAS to have Netflix capability.) A deal on a Roku box would work as well.

I would think Orlando getting a team would be kind of farfetched- Miami's become a quagmire, and Tampa's struggling to get the crowds even though they're a good team now. Atlanta won't get a second team- when you combine how successful the teams are with the current cities- if any area gets a second team right now, I'd put money on the second team going to New England (Boston's the biggest drawing one-team city, and it really isn't even close.)

But that difference is the really tempting question on another side: If there's a difference between stealing signs and gooping up the ball or taking steroids that says it's okay for the sign-stealing manager to be in but not the PED user, then that ties into the real question with Tommy John's case: What's the difference between an aging, soon-to-be-washed up hitter that extends their career a few more years and lets them play on a higher level by taking steroids and increasing the power of their bat, and a pitcher who's career is about to end due to injury extending THEIR career and playing at a high level, getting the speed of their pitches back by having Tommy John surgery and replacing their tendon with one from a cadaver?

It's in the entrances as "Daniel Bryan YES" immediately in game.

I'm on board.Only if Nikita can be the commissioner who debuts and claims that Mother Russia has begun her invasion of degenerate American wrestling.I accept this position wholeheartedly! This will be the top championship:http://yfrog.com/mm7sccgj:medium Will the title belt be given to the winner of the match, or will the result end with everyone saying "Well, AJ Styles did "technically" beat Bully Ray, but Bully Ray had better punches- so he wins..." "But AJ Styles did that missle dropkick, he wins!" "...the title's in abeyance.

The biggest problem for a new ownership is that TNA's risen and fallen based on whatever was trendy on the indy scene at the time. When TNA began, the cruiserweight/workrate style was trendy, so the X-Division made TNA instantly popular with fans. Later in the 2000s, when SHIMMER made women's wrestling trendy, the Knockouts ended up being popular for TNA. By contrast, this year...there isn't really one distinct style you can point to on the independent scene and say "THIS is the trend right now" that can lead to a niche that TNA can build around. The only thing TNA could have is building to the people who want the Attitude Era back- and we've seen over the last 11 years that no, TNA can't do that right, even if they DID do it right people want the "wrestlers" more than the style anyway [so they'd STILL be unhappy with it], and as a result it'd fail with their attempt.

With the news this week that the show's apparently done with: WWE usually doesn't do full seasons for the sheer amount of TV they have a week, but doing "Saturday Morning Slam: The Complete Series" would probably be fun and something for everyone's collection [only about 25 episodes, most of them being relatively fun- kids would like it for a kids' show, older fans would probably like having the whole series...why not?)

Being fair- IIRC, WWF "DID" try and get another announcer with Hudson- just not a WCW announcer (it was said many times- including in his book: The WWF wanted to bring Jerry Lawler back as the color man for WCW alongside Hudson- but Lawler refused because they planned to only bring The Kat back for that one night and not re-hire her as well.)

If they need to do that, wouldn't it be best to go further and just make Summerslam and Survivor Series bigger, then focus them as equivalents to Wrestlemania? That way, you don't need any overlap- just put the "season" level names [the more aging/breaking down veterans on the downswing, with the super-over or rising stars being year round] into a January-April shift, a May-August shift, and a September-December shift [giving each one a "big" event per year.]

The biggest reason for the difference between the critically acclaimed shows and mainstream success shows is that, at the end of the day: People DON'T CARE. Shows that are critically acclaimed, by nature, tend to be the shows that you do have to CARE about in order to really enjoy them. The fanbases love their show of choice and can't get enough of it- and we see from Netflix that these shows eventually find their legs on DVD [where people who do care about the show can get long marathons in of it and immerse themselves in the show.] These people who do care, however, are the minority and they always will be. The vast majority of TV viewers will always be the person who just got home from a long day at work and just wants to turn their brain off and just laugh [for sitcoms], or [for dramas] have a chance to be led into things, but still feel smart by being a step ahead of the characters onscreen for the finish.

At the same time, though, even assuming got LeBron in the draft, then that doesn't necessarily mean that it'd have worked out for Detroit. Larry Brown was the coach, and he's always been relatively bad with trusting/nurturing/developing young players- at best, Lebron loses his confidence and doesn't develop into a big star, and at worse not playing him wreaks havoc on the Pistons' chemistry- and the Pistons won in 2004 based on how well-oiled their machine was

Even Otunga makes more sense than some- Aksana wasn't a major part of television, even on NXT, in over a year, and was doing absolutely nothing, but she got in. Moreso with some of the debuts/other female snubs (Your black mark for this game stat: Despite THQ billing this game around 30 years of Wrestlemania"- counting the billed match that was cut for time on Wrestlemania as a match WWE2K14 is second to only the 2004 WWE video games in the amount of video game healthy scratches from the Wrestlemania roster that year [healthy scratch determined as a wrestler who: a] had been at Wrestlemania, b] not left the company by the time the game was released that year, and yet did not make the video game cut. 2004 [again, the WWE loaded the roster of Wrestlemania 20 to get everyone possible a payday that year] had eight people not make the cut (Rob Conway, Shannon Moore, Nunzio, Billy Kidman, Akio, Funaki, and the Basham Brothers), this game has six [big E Langston, Fandango, the Bella Twins, and the Funkadactyls.)

But on this exact topic, even going like Berman does with an equivalent line of "Well he played in the CFL for a while, but time will tell if he can play in the NFL"- as Daniel Bryan's rise showed exactly how useful it was. Remember, starting on NXT, in just one week, Michael Cole's reaction was effectively "well, he was a big standout on the independent scene, but time will tell if he can play in the WWE." When the smoke clears three years later, Michael Cole spent two years as the single most-hated human being in the WWE, and Daniel Bryan's made it to the main event from all the butthurt IWC members who decided "HOW DARE WWE SAY THAT ABOUT BRYAN DANIELSON [NOT! Daniel Bryan, SCREW YOU VINCE!] We'll show them- WE WILL MAKE THEM MAKE HIM A MAIN EVENTER!"

For the same with his post (and since I'm out of the running): since at the moment, there's a 4-way tie, would you consider adding a seventh movie to the list?

If you're going to use surprising directing choices, just from this week alone: Morgan Spurlock- directing credits: Movie decrying fast food, movie decrying advertisements...One Direction's concert movie.

I don't care what caused the jump- this is the first year I came close to having a chance, it'll be my best year ever almost guaranteed...I have one last big gasp to go in. 12 points is the magic number- yes! I! Can!

If they do turn the PTPers face (and really, they should, solely because there is a far bigger minefield that Young would have to go through if he's playing a heel than there would be if he's playing a babyface), then using Zeb's group wouldn't work as well. Far better to do the obvious form: The PTPers come out next week, Young addresses the fans, thanks them for their support...SIERRA HOTEL INDIA ECHO LIMA DELTA. Shield come in, attack, the PTPers hold their ground, Henry/Big Show save. Next tag team feud, obvious push, completely normal onscreen.

On the flipside...if they were to do that, would WWE be stupid and/or clever and/or really, really stupid enough to go with the outside loophole [or even if it "could" be done from that result: Cena/Bryan has a big title match. It ends in a double-pin. The title gets held up. Right as it's announced the title's held up, Orton then heads into the ring, then hands the referee his briefcase, then takes the WWE Title, announcing that, if the title's been held up, then no one is the champion- and as a result, he's officially cashed in his MITB title shot on WWE champion "No One" in order to be allowed to be awarded the vacant title without a match.

Absolutely sickening. How dare Manziel sign autographs for $10,000 of pocket change- throw the book at him! Much more noble for how that same OTL article talks about how Texas A+M sold the rights to sit with him and A+M's other Heisman winner at their kickoff dinner to six boosters for $20,000 a piece to the school, or how A+M has sold 142 of 144 of their new luxury boxes to boosters who pay the school $100K a piece. That's just good work for the colleges right there!

It kind of said it all that the shit will hit the fan the week after a empty Hall of Fame induction week, because really that 'is' all A-Rod has to lose. The only thing left is if last year let all the BBWAA voters get their "naughty, naughty", and "But...I...WANNA...be eight years old again!" out of their system regarding Hall of Fame votes- which would make all the difference for A-Rod [if he takes the deal, he may never play another game in his life, but the door would still be open for a potential Hall of Fame induction- but if he doesn't take the deal, he's banned for life, meaning he is ineligible to get inducted into the Hall of Fame.]
