Me too buddy. I almost posted the sad icon on Matt's post.

I do, but I thought their status as a successor was indicated by their names. Like "Titan Jr" or "El Hijo del Titan". Is that less of a hard-and-fast rule than I thought? Thanks, but I'll note that the Titan linked to here was apparently 5'9". Was there an even earlier Titan who was titanic?

Does "Titan" mean something different in Spanish than it does in English? Because that's a heck of a ring name for somebody who looked to be shorter than Chris Jericho.

Spitting Image was a satirical British puppet show from the '80s. Mostly political satire. It's where the puppets in the aforementioned music video came from. Might be better known in Canada than in the US; I don't know.

I'm not a youngun, but I didn't recognize the reference. If he had mentioned Spitting Image I'd have gotten it.

Okay, I laughed at Moe's joke. But if we're being serious: English speakers don't generally say "married with" to indicate spousehood. Sammy Guevara is married to Tay Melo, not married with Tay Melo. And note how "married with children" was a common phrase long before it became the name of a sitcom, and it generally implies neither pedophilia nor bigamy. You could make an argument that adding a comma after "married" would be advisable, as it reduces the risk of misunderstanding. But there was nothing actually wrong with the sentence as written.

Oh, to be sure. But the younger an idiot is, the more likely it is that they'll grow out of it. Old idiots have a high probability of being idiots for life.

It was a yellow bell pepper. Unless you're talking about a remake and they changed it?

That reminds me - I saw part of last year's match and wasn't sure how to react to the finish. I meant to ask here for some context but never got around to it. Specifically: had Roman been relying on copious interference to retain his title in previous defences? Or was he just mowing opponents down prior to 'Mania? If it was the latter, then I think the outcome was fine, because having to resort to means he hadn't before at least represents a progression in the story. But if it's the former, I think doing a "same old same old" finish in the Wrestlemania main event is pretty bad writing, at least when it's not the result the fans wanted.

Jack Perry is 26 years old. That's still young enough to be a bit of an idiot, in my opinion, even if he's been wrestling a while. Sammy Guevara is 30 years old, and married with a child. So he has less of an excuse for idiocy I'd say.

Is that still true, though? I jumped ship to AEW when it started and haven't been sufficiently dissatisfied with it to jump back, so I have no direct knowledge. But I occasionally pop into the WWE folder here, and I got the impression its shows had improved significantly since then.

Thanks, but my comment was less to do with any perceived lack of backstory and more to do with how inherently uninteresting What's-His-Name is. I mean, if they pulled some random guy off the street, told us he had been Ospreay's gardener for years, and put him in a match with Ospreay, would that be main event worthy?

Well, putting Will Ospreay vs Some Guy in the main event slot was certainly a choice.

I actually liked Jungle Boy more before he started working on his promos. He was so bad it was oddly charming. Now he's just sort of okayish, which is a lot less interesting.

Wasn't it explicitly stated in the show's intro?

Or even after! They could have Cody pin Roman then reverse the decision the next night on Raw. Cody might even like this idea, as an homage to his father.

I honestly thought we'd see Copeland intervene leading to Garcia winning the title. (More likely preventing Christian's flunkies from interfering than outright screwing Christian over, of course.) Disappointed that didn't happen.

Or a conscious desire. We don't know!

If that's a joke specifically about Brazil's team, I'm afraid I don't know enough about soccer to get it. But yes, the top human team probably has to play a team of Doombots for the Cup.

But thinking about it further, why would he want to? For the prestige of the World Cup is as nothing compared to the CUP OF DOOM - which only DOOM may bestow! So let the greatest footballers make their way to Latveria to test their mettle - IF THEY DARE!

Well, you want a nice loud sound when you kick the leg out of somebody's leg.

To your last question: no. If Doom wanted to host the World Cup, he would seize the right to do so by force.

The latter seems like an odd mistake to make. Doesn't Ospreay have a personality of sorts?

Also, it turns out an All-Star Scramble includes a Meat Madness! I need to familiarize myself more with the Denny's breakfast menu.

So am I just high on emotion, or was that the best Young Bucks match ever?
