  1. I remember the Killings thing and Jarrett calling him "uppity" came out in 2005 on the internet. Doesn't surprise me it was true. I think people defended it that Killings and Jarrett are friends and razz on each other this way. This could be unrelated, but I also remember reading that Dixie Carter's husband was accused of sexually harassing Karen Angle/Jarrett.
  2. Like that killed Kobe Bryant's career. Pro athletes say mind blowingly stupid shit all the time. Michael Vick still has a career.
  3. Jones vs. Evans did like 700K, so who the fuck cares. Jones/Gustafsson came a week after the Mayweather PPV which was $75. It did have an affect. Before Sonnen, everyone said Silva couldn't draw.
  4. Here's a still of the leg break in case anyone wants it: Spoiler tags of course:
  5. Sara McMann vs. Ronda Rousey set for UFC 170 main event. EDIT Oops, whatever. Well that's a good main event.
  6. Until he snaps his leg. Seriously, I always feared Jones would be the one to snap one of his skinny legs like that. Until he snaps his leg. Seriously, I always feared Jones would be the one to snap one of his skinny legs like that. Well he already snapped his toe.
  7. Anderson Silva was criticized for not being a draw until he fought Chael Sonnen. New draws can be made. Just saying. Jones/Gustafsson didn't draw big because it was a week after Mayweather.
  8. Not an expert, but he doesn't look drained here: He posted some odd tweets about his making weight for the fight. I know English is not his first language, but something seems off about him right now. Like Paulo Filho off.
  9. It's a bit of a letdown to me because ultimately we know her destination. Seems rather cruel to me. Especially with how important her background turns out. I'm weirded out because she's Doctor's wife and Amy's daughter. Something about that just seems wrong to me. Their marriage itself was also very weird. I just don't buy her as the "Doctor's wife." She's like a Time Travel Sue.

  11. Because the Time War would have restarted right then and there, with even more participants. His goal is to go home and/or restore Gallifrey. So he has to address this problem sooner or later. He had hundreds of years and remained stuck in this weird stalemate. He loves Gallifrey so much, yet apparently they became almost as malevolent as the Daleks during the Time War. So what is he going to do about that? You think having all those centuries he could've come up with something. Now Gallifrey is lost to him again, and based off recent events it should probably stay that w As far as protecting Christmas, he did a terrible job. The enemies also start a final front that then goes on to last for like aay.nother 300 years, they are still in the final battle. How is Christmas not wiped out by that point? Like Percival's great grandkid was still there worshipping the Doctor. I'm not really saying doom and gloom so much as a bit of a leveling off for the franchise after they perhaps peaked here. Sort of like how Pixar sorta peaked with Toy Story 3 but their later films are still pretty solid and successful.
  12. I'm sorry but I didn't like this episode. I generally preferred the 50th Anniversary. Nothing about this story made any sense. Way too many plot holes, more than usual for Doctor Who. Some of the emotional moments were good individually, but overall the story was a clunky mess. I can kind of wrap my head around how the events on Trenzalore initiated the events of the previous seasons, the offshoot branch of the church that made River Song into who she is, the creation of the Silence, etc. OK, so the Silence were really just trying to prevent people from remembering things so they don't go to Trenzalore and attack right? The other issue is Gallifrey. So the cracks were sending a message for help to be freed from the pocket universe. And the Doctor ignored this for 600 years just...because...? He retired in Christmas which is stuck in perpetual isolation of sameness for 600 years or however and just fights Doctor Who monsters for that long to keep from doing what? What was going on at that point? The Doctor was there to help Gallifrey, and he didn't. He wanted to help and he was staying there to help. Gallifrey is asking for help, but he didn't help. To me the obvious answer is that Gallifrey can never return from its pocket universe than. The Doctor wants to return home, but he can't. The Doctor sent his home back to the Time War because it was just too dangerous. He called it HELL itself. OK, so in the pocket universe has all the Hell that Gallifrey unleashed suddenly stopped? Have Rassilon and the Nightmare Child and the Travesties realizing they no longer have a war to fight gotten under control? Will they even address or deal with these issues if they come up? Nothing about this episode made sense. I thought the regeneration sequence was a nice change of pace. It does get me excited to see where they will go with Capaldi. Now another part of me is curious to see if this will be a peak of popularity of sorts for the franchise. It seems with the 50th anniversary it was kind of like the perfect storm for everything. Now I wonder if after the highs of the Tennant and Smith years if its going to start to level off.
  13. A lot of this is on Jeff Jarrett as well. I know he started TNA and all, but he fucked up on all the lucrative angles and potential new main eventers TNA could've had. At points, it looked like TNA was his vanity promotion so he could stick it to Vince McMahon for firing him and proving that he was a main event talent. He never drew with a damn in TNA. He was a terrible main eventer and world champion. When Samoa Joe was their hottest commodity in 2005 and 2006, they cut out his legs from under him. They signed Kurt Angle and squandered all the buzz behind him. They made idiotic moves like signing Pacman Jones to get attention, but those moves never moved the needle. Not to mention they signed Jones to be a wrestler only he was forbidden from wrestling. They even ran Christian out of the company after he had established himself as a strong heel and one of the company's better workers. I still can't fathom why they brought back Vince Russo to head up creative after he had all but left wrestling. Russo said he couldn't be a good person and be in wrestling anymore. Born again Christian. Blah blah fucking bullshit blah. They fucking bombed their ratings after Slammiversary 2006. They bombed Sting's return to wrestling. Their solution? Let's bring back Vince Russo. Yup. Ratings didn't really change at all.
  14. If I have any problem with Doctor Who, it's that the show infinitely contradicts itself. Not necessarily the rules, but just all the philosophy and ideas like "I never would," Doctor being a pacifist, etc.
  15. Minus one point for dated and irrelevant Family Guy reference. Besides that, it was awesome.
  16. We saw those characters like once or twice though and they turned out to be fan fiction characters created by the Ice King. I think stronger examples of this would be Princess Bumblegum and Flame Princess.
  17. Well here's the latest video that could've been commissioned by ZUFFA for FreeFights4You for UFC 168 Still not as good as the Miley Cyrus one.
  18. Personal favorite was the Randy Orton vs. Daniel Bryan street fight.
  19. In Agents of SHIELD, they've established that there are these people who appear to have naturally manifested these abilities that SHIELD keeps on their special index. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch would probably fall under that area.
  20. If they made it themselves or commissioned it so what? I thought it was amusing. Dana White has endorsed some fan-made videos before like Tommy Toe Hold, and now Tommy Toe Hold is making UFC videos for Fox Sports.
  21. With the cast of one million characters in Days of Future Past, made sense that a lot of them wouldn't be doing much or would get removed outright.
