S.K.o.S.

Yeti convinced me. This is my first actual vote in the tournament.

Maybe I'm just groggy from moving the clocks forward, but if you think of Pitbull as a modern day Max Headroom, it makes him so much more appealing.

Sergey Tolchinsky of the Soo Greyhounds:

Just wondering, what's he done lately that was good? I've seen Styles matches with Hero and Gulak this year and neither one especially impressed me.

Oh shoot, it's a remake of that Thai movie "13: Game of Death". I'm at work so I'm not gonna watch the trailer, but the original had some great moments and I loved the ending so much.

SHOOT NAMEZ! Worse than that guy who had high school chem class with Roman Reigns! Happy birthday Natural btw

Full disclosure, I do think Hero vs. Ray Rowe from early 2014 deserves a look. Skip to the 2 hour 30 minute mark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbekomngnm8

I wouldn't say "Fuck Hero" but I kind of get it. I've seen three Hero matches from 2014, and either there's a severe lack of flow when he's on offense, or he's just become such an advanced wrestler that he's bringing a match structure that's too complex for me to understand. Like prog rock.

I gotta decide if I'm going full troll with my defense. Cesaro can't help himself from using flashy power moves even though he's supposed to be a heel! His compulsion to get himself over leads to fans chanting "We The People" after another racist Zeb Coulter diatribe! It makes us all look bad!

Ugh, I gotta look into this. The argument for Cole would be that he's a better promo and a better heel than his esteemed opponent.

So, about this. I've been told by one of the editors that the relevant short is finished, and I do appear in it... but it's in a wide group shot and I'm walking away from the camera, so yeah, you can only see the back of my head and would only be able to tell that it's me based on what I'm wearing. Next time, Hollywood! *shakes fist*

Feeling like I need to personally work on putting together a case for Adam Cole, just to get people to realize that he had a very good year even though he'll be getting roughly 0% of the votes. But it's gonna be tough since recent US indy stuff is (understandably) scarce on the intertubes.

I know you know this, and I'm being Johnny Nitpick here, but it's Masaaki Mochizuki. Looks like we'll be seeing the extent of the pro-WWE bias pretty quickly.

Going to the Raptors game tonight. First live NBA game ever. Bandwagon jumping at its finest.

I think Steen and Elgin could win matchups depending who they were against. Cole is probably deserving too. But I can't say I'd miss any of them if they weren't in.

So I was thinking "Hmm, this is the first WOTD I've literally never heard of" and then opened the thread to a furious GET OFF MY LAWN tirade from Rippa. I nearly fell out of my chair!

No trailer yet, but have you guys heard about this KUMIKO THE TREASURE HUNTER movie from Sundance with Rinko Kikuchi?

May have said this before, but I thought The Mist really needed the Price Is Right losing horn right at the end. For The Prestige... I can see how the full explanation of the sci-fi part of the ending could be considered stupid. Not sure if that's what people are referring to, though.

3/4 of the way there.

Couple quick things: - On Friday I was talking about whether they were going to force Shield/Wyatts into the face-in-peril tag structure. The FIP portion (which was only a small part of the match) was set up really nicely by making Rollins into a face in about 30 seconds with the whole backflip out of the top rope German sequence, then having him get beaten down. - When Josh Matthews asked the 'expert panel' right before the EC match "So no one thinks Orton's going to retain??" they kind of faked me out there. I was thinking that question so obviously telegraphed that Orton was going to win, that it actually meant they were going to have him lose. I clearly cannot choose the wine in front of you...

As of today, the relationship I'm currently in is my longest relationship ever. We still have like nine years to go for it to be her longest relationship ever, but hey.

A hearty fuck you to home ownership. The weekend thaw here was nice, but it meant lots of melting snow, and judging by the two rooms on the top floor of my house that suddenly have wet carpets, it looks like there's a leak somewhere. Quite a few water stains on the walls, as well as on the ceiling of the main floor below.. so the water's coming in somewhere inside the walls or something. This probably won't be cheap to fix.

Not trying to hate on the match before it's even happened, but how likely is it that they force Shield-Wyatts into being a face-in-peril formula tag rather than a crazy brawl?

Has Ron Livingston started morphing into Quentin Tarantino or has there just always been a resemblance that I never noticed?

What's the tiebreaker in case you get a tie within a group? Like if three teams go 2-1 and one team goes 0-3. Would it be total margin of victory by votes?
