Yep. Literally the first mention of the higher power was in reference to Taker trying to take over the WWF from McMahon and the start of the Coporation/Ministry feud.

To be fair like...90% of future Russo storylines has this happen. We worked together the whole time, even when you beat/tortured my friends and family!

This of course happened in a smaller scale during the NWO story line with Bischoff, but at least that's only really one table bump and did work to obfuscate things for a few months.
I think that The Corporate v The Ministry could've been great, then have Vince and Jackyl come together to form The Corporate ministry as a plot to keep the title from Austin and The Rock. But we wouldn't have got that awesome mystery of who was playing with the briefcase lol. I wish that someone other than Russo could tell us how things were really supposed to be booked with the revealing.

I love Jackyl as a kid. He'd always come in as this abusive cult leader with a hot new act...and get dropped two weeks later. Like clockwork. Everytime.

If he wasn't so full of himself, we could've witnessed something great. He was awesome as Cyrus, he did a good job of making me hate him as a kid.
 
Fuck me, was anyone else watching that PCW iPPV? Firstly, the internet in the building was shit (you think they'd have checked on this before hosting an iPPV) so the bitrate and framerate were abysmal, but did improve as the show went on. Secondly, the big 5 vs 5 elimination match to decide the GM ended amazingly - after fucking months of a heel authority figure, fan favourite Dave Rayne finally got control of the company! And then turned heel and shat all over the fans haha. Exchanging one heel authority figure for another, delightful! Finally, the main event ending was woefully misguided - an injured Rampage Brown passed out in an armbar and the ref called a stop to the match, but this was poorly communicated, none of the fans knew what was going on and it was declared a draw rather than a victory for Noam. Rampage tapping out wouldn't have hurt him any, as his elbow was badly injured from a chair shot during the tag title match, and it would've given the fans the moment they were all clearly expecting. Instead, it instantly deflated the room, sour note to end the iPPV on.

Positives, though. Viper vs Saraya was pretty hard hitting, a good Saraya-style match giving Viper a chance to show her toughness. El Ligero vs Bubblegum was match of the night, excellent jr. title match between two of the best in the UK. The 3-way tag title match was ridiculous anarchy, although it felt a bit spotty. Lastly, Jay White put in a great performance against 'The Bastard' Dave Mastiff, while Jeff Cobb impressed in spite of being saddled with Lionheart. PCW, worth the £4 this iPPV cost, but not much more.

PCW show sounds like a big wasted opportunity.

Why is it that every heel champion ever in WWE is a coward who won't take on anyone. Like even in NXT, the Revival are acting like they don't want to fight Gargano and Ciampa, who are basically two tiny dudes.

They don't want to face them because Gargano and Ciampa beat them already. So they are afraid to fight them again because they don't want to lose their titles.

It makes sense. Plus all 4 are the basically the same height.
 
Y'all gotta kill my push and put me as a jobber now 'cause I enjoyed Suicide Squad.

It still makes me laugh Randy Orton came back as a face and Seth Rollins came back as a heel
I know the crowd gives him cheers and he will likely eventually turn some day, but I dunno, a face Seth sounds awful to me.

It's not a crime to enjoy something because the geeks on the Internet and rotten tomato didn't.

You know how you get that weird feeling when Randy kisses ass to the crowd and the home city?

You'll get that same feeling with Seth.

Some people aren't meant to be the goody goody faces. And you might think they'll make him into an antihero, but they're not smart enough to do that anymore.

I can see that happening. I think Seth as a face would be boring most of all. The guy would not be interesting if he was a good guy, I like him the way he is because his current run has been pretty great since he's increased on the mic.

It was bad, Bluester. The Joker Leto scenes are so fucking awful. Laughable even. I was surprised the credits didn't end with
"Co-Directed by David Cage"
Bury Batsie.
I've played Heavy Rain all the way through more than once. :(

I can't win.
 
The first one, he's fucking smiling while he's getting pinned.

David Fucking Cage! Lmfao! You're going to put some respect on that name Playboy. I'll still go see it though, you can enjoy disasters. Like some people enjoy Sharknado.

I loved Heavy Rain, I started a second play through with the move but never finished it.

I would not compare this or BVS or MoS etc to Sharknado.

Say whatever you want about Sharknado and how bad it is. It's on Syfy. You ain't paying around $20, sitting in uncomfy seats, around screaming children, laughing teens, and adults using cell phones to see it. Give me bad Sharknado any day over a bad movie in a bad theater around bad people, because the theater is always going to cost a bunch more, and may g*d help you if you decide you also want to pay that bunch more a second time for DVD/BluRay

Also Sharknado isn't 2.5 hours minimum of bad (lol the second someone tells you you need the 3 hour plus ultimate edition to get the true experience)

Heacy Rain is the funniest game I ever played. I have a platinum in it just because it's so awful. David Cage has a gift, but it's not for dramatic writing.

Going to try Beyond tomorrow, but I don't think it's going to hit the same notes.

I only paid 5 bucks BWAHHHHHHAAAAAHAHA! I win! And I sat in a wheelchair. But I did have to deal with an annoying brat asking fucking questions and shit behind me.

Tbh, I've enjoyed his games. But in the same way one enjoys the ShockMaster debut.

So not worth it

Platinum'd that shit too, it is a fun game and that is all that matters. Beyond is fun too, has better acting and an even more bonkers story.
 
I played Heavy Rain twice because I fucked up so bad the first time around, everyone died at the end of it. That first run was so fucking bad overall, I straight up took the drink from the creepy doc because I'm an idiot and didn't find anything suspicious with it and then boom, wake up in the crazy lair.

I don't believe these dirt sheet rumours at all anymore. They've said that about Eva Marie for years, for example. It's supposedly all about her but on television I've seen very little evidence of it. See 20 years ago when the internet was more scarce and talent/crew/promoters didn't leak insider info every day, dirt sheets were relevant, now they just play guessing games with things they heard from irrelevant people and hedge their comments by saying 'of course that could change' - which it always does. Time for Meltzer to retire or find a new angle. Alvarez too, although he's worse. Bottom feeders who don't even have access to the trash chute anymore, if they ever did.

David Cage became a meme in France due to his... love for "emotion"
Dude is a clown for a lot of French gamers

I bet they are really proud of Ubisoft and their 200 Rayman 2 versions though.

I also bet Rayman 2 NX is a launch title.
