I will simply never forget the day when i saw wrestling on the tv in a bar and hear the countless "its fake" remarks from every single person in that place.
Maybe it's an SF thing but maaaaan that was disheartening. Like i don't care, i like what i like, but something happened.

The "it's fake!" stuff is rampant in the comment sections of any article about wrestling on a mainstream site (Yahoo!, for example). I cringe reading it. It's just horrific. Like these people think they're being smart and figuring out the ruse when... oh fuck it, I don't even wanna think about this anymore, clicking submit.

Cena's doing just fine putting the company on his back and carrying them through this financial turmoil.
That would require extensive use of backstage vignettes, in-ring promos, guest commentary spots and commentary constantly drilling these talking points throughout the shows to translate that simple storyline to the WWE Universe. Now, you and I both know that Kane doesn't have that in him.

Actually looks decent, not too fruity pebble-y.

Pikachu the John Cena of Pokemon overcoming them odds. Whenever he loses a match he contemplates he's career as a Pokemon.

Funny, I was thinking the red was the same shade as a box of fruity pebbles
Ugh. I don't put people who watch movies and television shows down just because they're fake. Would it kill some people to show some common courtesy? You don't have to like wrestling but don't be a dick about it..

Gaming side has some of the weirdest conditions for a thread. Who the fuck doesn't finish a game because they "didn't want it to end?"

That first sentence...
First of all, that is not "pretty common." I AM AN EXPERT IN LITERATURE. NOBODY DOES THIS.
Secondly, Gone Girl?!?
I was expecting worse. Maybe that helped it. Stro, I hope you have a gif of the Orndorff elbow drop thing at 1:52:17 or so.

I listened to one of JR's podcasts from a few weeks ago and he admits that there is a very strong anti-wrestling bias and a stigma against wrestling fans in our society. He said he's most commonly called "the wrestling guy" in a demeaning and patronizing way from others.
Vince McMahon doesn't give five million fucks what you think.
Hence why the product will forever be in the shitter

What is an expert in literature doing watching Professional Wrestling? It would be career suicide if that bit of information got out.

I would rather have a million comic book threads in OT in lieu of one of those super simp "help me get my co-worker to sniff my dick" threads that were all over the place at the beginning of summer.

Not sure if this was mentioned yet but it looks like the Network will start airing Smackdown in chronological order every day starting tomorrow.

Disagree. At least the loneliness was more overt with those.

if we stop all the versus threads, then we might as well stop fantasy booking so much. It's the same godamn thing.

I wish the Smackdown six would be enough to convince me to subscribe.
But it isn't
The versus threads are fine and fun when people don't take them so damn seriously. That Avengers/MOS thread sounded like a room of yelling stockbrokers by the end

I think some kids might. But it's an atmosphere they're selling - a group of larger than life people (usually) and presentation above all.
That is a shit avatar my friend. Just shit.
Better off with some other Okada from TNA av.

Cena actually hasn't had the belt much in recent years. He is however still in the spotlight for the most part.
I can't wait for the man that really deserves the spotlight to come back
What happened to Sblargh? I missed that whole situation I guess.

He's billed as 191 CM or a little over 6'3". Pretty tall for this day and age.
Anyway, just got home. Will be changing avatar ASAP.

Reality and Vince McMahon conspired to make Sblargh's positivity gimmick untenable.

i also found this
Here are the results of the WWE house show on Saturday, August 9 at the Abbotsford Sports & Entertainment Centre which is about an hour east of Vancouver, British Columbia
Randy Orton vs Dolph Ziggler
Good, long, competitive match. The story is that Randy is trying to get the RKO on Ziggler, but Dolph manages to counter. Finally, out of nowhere, Randy hits the RKO...and Dolph...KICKS OUT AT 2! Yes. Dolph Ziggler kicked out of an RKO. The crowd goes wild. Dolph hits the Zig Zag and pins Orton clean, 1-2-3. Now the crowd REALLY goes wild because it was so not the finish that was expected. Now, if only Ziggler could get those kinds of matches on TV... Really cool surprise finish though to wrap up the show.

Ahhh, so John Cena. Can't stay positive about that fellow for too long.

Rented the Heyman DVD on iTunes. Gotta admit - I thought there was a lot of fluff in the documentary.
Heyman's personal life
The Heyman Hustle part - especially where Heyman's using all bs marketing terms - felt like a David Brent scene. Almost think it was done on purpose. "Ok, Paul - point at your laptop screen and make it look like you're talking about something important."
Lots felt like spin, which I guess is to be expected. Also, though it's not mentioned on the DVD, I believe Heyman
was fired from WCW for expensing personal items on the road and claiming they were for business.
