4 hours is pretty big, and something I forgot about until the Showster reminded me.

Or he knows and he's calling Bryan a B+ player.

Yanno, JredBL. I used to doubt Bryan ! But with that tenacity, he won over nayasyers like myself! The Big Dog, Roman Reigns is someone who knows talent and calls it like he sees it! He grew up surrounded by WWE Superstars!
First LeBron, and now Roman. The length these stars that failed to live up to their hype will go to get people to like them.
He is the most athletic member of a HALL OF FAME FAMILY and could be bigger than THE ROCK! WHAT IS HE DOING GIVING PROPS TO SOME GOAT FACED TROLL?!
100 percent behind my man tye dillinger
Ever wonder what it would be like if you combined the worst elements of Daniel Bryan with the worst elements of the Miz?
the negatives cancel each other out and you end up with a perfect 10?
It was pretty awesome. As bad as I want to see Styles vs. Nakamura I have to imagine the finals is going to be Tanahashi vs. Nakamura. It would be complete overkill to have Tanahashi vs. Okada main event WK9, G1 Climax and WK10. Their matches have been great but enough is enough already.

Cagey, you really went in in that old thread about the guy co-signing for the loan.
I got what you were coming from, but given the sister seemed adamant about not getting a job because it "interfered with her studies" or whatever, and the unreliability of the parents, I could understand why the guy would not feel compelled to put himself in that risky position. I could understand them asking, but the family were being entitled dicks in expecting him to do it and then giving him the cold shoulder when he wouldn't.

Just watched the G1. Brrrrrrrr Tanadough.
Incredible match, but the wrong person won.

For all the bitching about WWE booking it felt fresher this summer than the G1 did.
Shibata got fucked, Ibushi got fucked, Naito got fucked even thogh they're all over like gangbusters. Instead it's gonna be a retread Climax leading into (most likely) a retread WK.
Only thing they got right was Honma and the Bullet Club teasing.

Who are you to deny the Once in a Century Talent?
this pic is incredible
Here's the thing for me: the parents, the family's, maybe even the sister's selfishness is an irrelevant distraction for most of the people reading that thread who'd rather render moral judgment online and make snarky comments than help people out in the real world and invent excuses ("it's the parents job, not yours!").
That thread also taught me a lot about the age and wealth demographics of this board. It's lower on both fronts than I had suspected.

Please don't say that. I can't do RKOkada vs Cenahashi again. Should have been AJ or Naito.

In NXT, sure. In the main roster, it'll be a good 3 weeks before he's forgotten, 6 months before he's dancing and rapping.

WWE is building him up in NXT right.
What's interesting is I heard through the grapevine (insider info, which is weird for me to say this) NXT has put the brakes on it being a jumping off point to WWE main roster after everyone being called up has had baggage attached with their NXT storylines.
As much as they want it to be forgettable developmental "try these things" storylines, they're coming into WWE on Raw, etc - with this added extra baggage and they have to address it and how they want to use NXT now.
It's a tough spot, for sure. Either NXT ups the quality of their storylines, which as a developmental area that can be trouble, less room to experiment. Or they make NXT less important, which they're finally starting to see how they can make good money with it and won't want that.
We're seriously headed for a legit, a legit brand split. I'm fine with that.

I feel like her fun gimmick/personality makes her looks irrelevant. And I doubt Sasha is stunning without makeup. Not that I have anything against Sasha. She's great, too.

Okada vs Tanahashi HAS to happen again at the Tokyo Dome. It just fucking does, there's no two ways about it - you don't start a story only to forget about it in the 3rd act. People want someone different at the top and I get that, but that CANNOT happen until this story is over and done with. Also, I can't stand the Cena/Orton comparison - they're two rivals who have been facing off throughout their careers, whereas Tanahashi/Okada is meant to be a passing of the torch from the ace of the past generation to the ace of the new generation. And that only happens when Okada defeats Tanahashi at Wrestle Kingdom, not a moment sooner.

Chicken. Fish. Water. Meat. Cheese. Life's good. It's not hard to go zero carb.
you do realize you're gonna die, right?
Ever since USA picked up Smackdown for next year I knew this was going to actually happen. It might not even be right away but its in the mix.
Saw what might be the craziest show ever this morning....In Your House:The Final Four. What a bonkers main event. Vader, Bret Hart, REAL ASS STEVE AUSTIN, Undertaker in a no DQ, Pinfall/submission/over the top rope match for the vacant?!? WWF Heavyweight Championship. One of the few RAWs missing from the network is the infamous Thursday Raw Thursday, in which HBK gives up the title outta nowhere after losing his smile, so I was initially LEGIT SHOOK over this match being for the strap.
The undercard is good but the main event? Spectacular. Half an hour of brutality. Vader gets his eye all fucked up ten minutes in and its gross as fuck whenever they zoom in. The eliminations are all great. Stone Cold gets tossed over by Bret, Vader gets LOW BLOWED off of the top rope by Undertaker, Stone Cold comes back and tries to get Bret eliminated but instead accidentally saves Bret from a Tombstone and also ends up distracting Taker so he can get tossed out. He gets to fight PSYCHO SID tomorrow night on RAW.
This was also the first show called by good old Jim Ross and Lawler alone in a dog's age, and it was fantastic.

Fiber supplements, friend. Plus a lot of close-to-zero carb bars (Quest in particular) have a healthy amount of fiber in them.
When I'm zero carb, I take a shit maybe once a week. And there's simply nothing there. I'm not stopped up. There's no shit to shat. My body is a protein consuming machine.
I believe it

Since starting my look back at the New Generation era this is easily top five main event territory.
I'm not sure but I think this is also the very first time the WWF championship has been decided in a 2+ person match. What a way to start it off.
This is also the first time in what seems like forever that the WWF belt was hot shot like this. I don't know much about 1997 (the only complete show I've seen was Badd Blood 1997, that's including Raw!) But I do know that the main event of WM XIII does not include the Shit Man so it's going to change hands again real soon.

Final Four's a fuckin' classic. I was such a bret mark as a kid and was completely glued to my screen for this match. So good
Elimination style matches are a lost art.
I criiieeed and criiieedd and crriiiieed the next night after that Sid match, hah.
