Red Son was super cool but I wouldn't say it's a good jump-off point if you want to see the depth of Superman. More of a depth of a different one, but it was pretty excellent.

 

[billy beane]

Here is the August1warning guy from TNA voice normalized. Can anyone here tell who's voice it is? Also, people are claiming it might be Davey Richards. Not sure if that is good or bad for TNA.

Fuck Davey Richards.

 

[Kaladin]

Has anyone seen Superman: Unbound or the new Justice League animated movie yet? Both look good.

 

[Sokantish]

I had the death of Superman comic when I was younger. I also had Sonic the Hedgehog comics. How cool is that?!

approx 50%

Marvel>DC

 

[Sokantish]

You were suppose to say "mondo cool!"

I only have 3 comics left now. The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, and Worlds Collide Icon Superboy Meets Girl, whatever that is.

 

[Liquidsnake]

They had piped in crowd reaction this last RAW right? Tell me I am not crazy.

 

[Aiii]

Putting Red Son and Kingdom Come on my iPad as we speak.

 

[British Monsoon]

Fuck Davey Richards.

 

[jmdajr]

I wonder if John Cena will overcome his fear of commitment and propose to Nikki Bella?

no

no

no

DON'T DO IT CENA

Kingdom Come is goddamn gorgeous. I really love how the strong men in it actually look thick and strong instead of thin with huge muscles, if that makes sense. You'll see it in the books.

 

[tm24]

The great superman stories are as follows

Superman: Red Son
Superman: Secret Identity
All-Star Superman
Kingdom Come
Superman: Birthright
Superman For All Seasons
Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow

Kingdom Come is goddamn gorgeous. I really love how the strong men in it actually look thick and strong instead of thin with huge muscles, if that makes sense. You'll see it in the books.

Alex Ross is an incredible artist and I love his work, but I can only look at it for so long before it starts to look ridiculous. After a while it's like I'm looking at actual people dressed up as superheroes. Quite silly.

I had to read Kingdom Come in small doses.

 

[Kaladin]

Davey Richards in Impact would be great, but I don't see it, just because of Davey's personality.

I'd love to see him vs Aries, Joe, Daniels or AJ.

You pretty much are actually. That's how Ross draws his stuff.

 

[Sokantish]

So what does the S stand for, guys?

Right, putting all of these on the iPad, lets see if I can move past my Superman dislike.

 

[Ithil]

I'm starting to believe this sentament. If you look up "tries too hard" in the dictionary, you'll see AJ Lee trying to be a nerd off camera. By off camera, I mean outside of the WWE's television.

I'm thinking she would never get this scrutinization if she didn't have a vagina.

 

[Data West]

I'm thinking she would never get this scrutinization if she didn't have a vagina.

Nor would she get any of the attention/push that comes with it. Otherwise, Cody would have been world champion years ago.

 

[Serpentine]

basically

see: CM Punk

 

[Vox-Pop]

Total Divas: Natalya is actually pretty hot. Cena brought his girl a car and DB looked like a chump.

Haha love that McMahon is taking credit for DB.

 

[Aiii]

Nor would she get any of the attention/push that comes with it. Otherwise, Cody would have been world champion years ago.

Come on, while it definitely helped her popularity in NXT I don't for a second believe her being a geek helped her get pushed by the McMahon's.

 

[slightconfuse]

Cody is the hero of time .

The next mainstream WrassleGAF Lexicon topic in the OT is going to include the phrase

"getting jobbed out"

So be prepared.

 

[strobogo]

I've heard jobbed out in a non wrestling related conversation. I think people would be able to pick up on that pretty easily with context clues. I've also heard mark/marked out a lot in non wrestling related conversations.

"Have you ever bought a Biscuit?"

big points if the public knows THAT one.

 

[strobogo]

No. But I've heard "sop her up with a biscuit".

 

[Vox-Pop]

Surprised they didn't let AJ Lee or Kaitlyn be on Total Divas. Show is pretty good. The Natalya angle must have some truth, even if she knows the game.

Future doomed Sunflower threads:

• Let's talk about times when someone you know made an epic heel turn
• Have you ever received a great pop when making a public speech?
• TV shows with potential that were buried by their networks
• Has a coworker ever recieved a push from the higher-ups that was unmerited?
• Recount the times when you've had to curtain jerk undeservedly
• The times when you've had nuclear heat with your friends and how you overcame it
• Getting over at work: tips and advice

 

[strobogo]

I'd like all of those to get made.

 

[Kaladin]

Gaf will think the curtain jerk topic is a masturbation topic.

 

[Plywood]

I'd like all of those to get made.

The top posters have to make those threads, you each get one.

 

[British Monsoon]

Lol;

The wrestling fan who attacked Randy Orton yesterday in Cape Town, South Africa, Tshepo Sekhabi, was interviewed by a South African news website.

Sekhabi, who the article claimed actually had quit his job in order to in Johannesburg to attend the event, ended up with a black eye and a swollen face after Orton kicked him in the face as he was pulled from the ring.

Sekhabi told the news outlet that he planned to attack Orton when he attended the event, saying, "I just don’t like Randy Orton, this was an opportunity for me so I got up there and made a name for myself.”

The article noted that Sekhabi was not "formally" arrested but was given a five year ban from the casino resort where the WWE event was being held and was thrown out of the resort's hotel, where he was staying.

WWE was asked whether Randy Orton would apologize for kicking Sekhabi and responded, "Randy Orton was the victim in this incident and suffered an injured groin."

I've heard jobbed out in a non wrestling related conversation. I think people would be able to pick up on that pretty easily with context clues. I've also heard mark/marked out a lot in non wrestling related conversations.

A lot of wrestling terms are just carny terms. Mark is short for "X Marks The Spot". The origin I heard for Kayfabe is it began as Kay Fabian, a fake name carnies used when they travelled from town to town. When they wanted to notify someone that they arrived safely, they would send a collect call under that name. The other person rejects the call but still gets the message without anybody having to pay for it.

I know it can also be rearranged to sound like "Be fake" but it's still an interesting story as to where the word came from.

 

[Plywood]

He legit lowblowed? Here I thought Randall just went into selling.

 

[bean breath]

In the spirit of Sunflower's social experiment, I'm going to post Aiii's stalkery AJ/Batman pic in the comics thread without comment and see if anything happens.

 

[strobogo]

The only good idea you've ever had.

 

[Penguin]

I have no idea what's going on in this thread half the time I enter anymore.

But saw someone ask, don't watch Superman Unbound, do watch Superman vs The Elite

 

[Kaladin]

Lol;

It sounds like this idiot is just a mark who thought WWE was real.

 

[Serpentine]

I'd like all of those to get made.

I think i've used "jobbed out" in conversation with my friends before. I think they know what i mean but i'm not sure

Bookmarked. One will happen tonight.

 

[XenoRaven]

I like when wrestlers make fun of fans for using industry terms when all those terms are essentially borrowed from something that came before and are not and have never been exclusive to wrestling.

 

[Serpentine]

comicsgaf no-sold bean breath's advances

Guardians of the Galaxy #5: Well. At least it's being illustrated by Pichelli I guess. Seeing

Spoiler

one of the deadliest fighters in the galaxy, Gamora,

get jobbed is silly though.

I guess it isn't too uncommon

 

[Omega]

Lol;

just showed this on TMZ while I was eating dinner

my brother watches it for some reason. some idiot makes a joke about it being fake and him being arrested by Big Boss Man

1 out of 10 chance it would have been funny if he was actually alive..

 

[BronsonLee]

Dude was trying to stop Orton from cashing in later!

 

[gurudyne]

Bookmarked. One will happen tonight.

Only one I can see not resulting in another series of "Go back to WrassleGAF, WrassleGAFfers!" is the TV-buried thread as I've actually heard the word buried used to describe how Fox treats its non-reality/MacFarlane TV shows.

 

[strobogo]

Maybe you shouldn't do that thread, Sunny. I don't think I can handle another fucking Firefly thread.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Surprised they didn't let AJ Lee or Kaitlyn be on Total Divas. Show is pretty good. The Natalya angle must have some truth, even if she knows the game.

The key for E's writers getting the Total Divas storyline over, (that the Bella twins are a big deal in the WWE,) is for people to not actually watch the product and figure out that AJ is the only real female star in the company, playboy.
