Reminder, friends, don't forget your Avatar Lottery submissions. In entering an avatar to be selected at random by a community member, you also put yourself in the lottery to be assigned someone else's. Keep it in good taste.
I'll have announcements on our upcoming Community Event and Viewing Night soon as well. Hope to see you all there
I think I missed the post, but how does one submit an entry?

PM Vince your entry. 100px by 120px, <50kb.
Paige at least survived it, and grew up to become the most scrumptious crumpet in wrestling history.

In today's Lucha Underground update, Grave Consequences was nuts, I really like Ivelisse, and Angélico is a sexy sexy man and I am jealous/smitten.

Made a start on catching up with Tough Enough...well, Tough Talk. Got to Patrick's elimination and even though I knew it was happening, it was still baffling how it could happen. Miz obviously genuinely believes in the guy and when Patrick makes it into the big leagues, I can see Miz helping put him over.
On the ladies' side, Sarah Lee seems to be the only one left with any sort of charisma. Amanda could be the most technically proficient women wrestler in the entire business, but that's all for naught if I don't have any inclination to ever bother watching her wrestle.

The entrances reduced to a gorilla position taunt, no masks in the creation suites, slow down, DIGDIGDIG-DIGGITY DOG, handicap matches are unplayable.

Now now, I'll have no smack talking diggity dog.
Yeah, like you said, the gameplay is on point, but there's always room for improvement, thankfully it's in the side shows rather than the meat.
Lies! I remember them having a hockey mask, gas mask, and Undertaker's Phantom of The Opera mask.

I remember being young and co-erced into playing some wrestling video game with a friend, where we fiddled around with options before starting. Not knowing what a Handicap meant, we just figured that whatever it was, 100% of it must better than 0%.
Thus we spent an afternoon unknowingly playing with completely gimped characters. As they were both at the same disadvantage, it probably evened things out.
Still don't know what that option actually does.

It'll get canned after three seasons, after having dodged the bullet between each season. Only to get picked up by Netflix to tie up loose ends and give some closure for the fans.
Thanks, bud.

Well maybe I'll take a look over the weekend then.

Goddamnit, think its worth it to just watch this match not having seen any of the buildup?
I look forward to your silver screen debut to wrap it all up.

Avatar lottery? I'm in. Not sure if there's a limit on avatar subs, but i'm codeined up after a day of migraine so here's five:
he had an injury a while back and got into really good shape.
Shame they hate him for trying to grab the brass ring and get over.
That makes sense. Watching last evening's NXT and he looked phenomenal. Whatever Wade Barret did to cut down, he gave those tren hard tips to Ryder. Good for Ryder. That sort of work ethic deserves rewarding, a la Barrett.

Pity they stuck him with Mojo, truly a death sentence. I would kill for a Ryder solo run in NXT, feuding with Breeze or Corbin.

Okay, so after shaking off my shock from both the three minutes of Lucha Underground that I watched, and the shocking bit of racist sexism that darkened the thread earlier, I unpaused the show and watched Vampiro's match. It was, of course, pure garbage wrestling. And not even very good garbage wrestling. Just a very slow-paced garbage match punctuated by the occasional light tube, thumbtacks, and ultimately a flaming table.
But then I think about Vampiro's age, and I think this match showed us that this is how these old fucks should be used. They obviously can't go anymore--Vampiro doing a belly-to-belly spot from the top rope and landing on his feet proved that. But they can bleed, and they can take punishment. Just like when Flair did his first-ever thumbtacks spot a few years ago, I think there is something perversely compelling about seeing veterans get abused. It's almost like now, at the end, wrestling doesn't even put on the pretense of being anything but what it is: abusing their performers like aged cattle being slaughtered to make ground chuck, squeezing whatever little drop of value out of them before they're put down for good.
