Great interview with Sha Samuels, also sheds some light on why the WOS deal went sour;

Basically, Double J's a fuckin moron and didn't know shit about British television;

"Jeff Jarrett was like ’10 weeks is not enough, we need every week’ ….This is not Pop TV you fucking…..10 weeks on ITV is bigger than 4 years on Pop TV"

I've read a lot of stuff about Jarrett making bad decisions and haven't enjoyed what I've seen. How has he lasted for so long and been such a big figure in wrestling for like 20 years now?

Good morning y'all, fell asleep at like 7pm and wake up to read fantastic nxt spoilers and see that a yakuza 2 remake was announced. Life is amazing.

 

[Striker]

Get ready for some hot potatoing

Worked for that epic Orton v Cena feud #greatness #betterthanhoganvandre #betterthanrockvaustin

 

[SallyIsNow]

At least Valve didn't announce a pachinko game of a beloved IP while I was gone.

I think Asuka will do fine in WWE.

It's sad she had to get hurt when she did. It would have been cool for her to appear at Summer Slam and then maybe even win a title on Smackdown or Raw afterward.

Crazy clown Asuka would be great if she can return when It releases.

 

[sora87]

Asuka on the main roster, this can't end well

I think her going to WWE (while obviously the end game) is weird only because there was that article the other day about HHH telling Vince "Please don't take her out of NXT, she's key to us doing well down here" and a few days later she's gone.

Maybe that was a weird setup for her actually leaving, but the timing seems "off" to me.

 

[wild wild rice]

I take a break from wrasslin for a week and I feel like the world has passed me by.

 

[SallyIsNow]

The biggest event of the summer tomorrow, fam.

The carniest event of the summer tomorrow, fam.

[Hasney]

Beastcast podcast talking about 2k18 says that the Elimination chamber on a PS4 Pro drops framerate so hard that it's like you're underwater at certain points.

Having a close to locked framerate previously was the best thing.

 

[SallyIsNow]

Fixed

What's the difference, mark?

Isn't that just 2K WWE games in general?

Why the hell would it drop when it's the same amount of characters as the old games? Is the new lighting that taxing?

 

[Hasney]

Nah, the performance was usually pretty solid.

I guess and they have extra lights in the chamber and shit too. No idea how 8 men will work now, assuming it isn't fixed before release.

 

[miserable]

Anyone here paying the 100 bucks to watch the carnival of stupid? Be honest marks.

I'm reading the result in the morning and going "huh, that was predictable/Connor won what a farce/Amazingly the world ended during this fight and I seem to be surviving, how about that" and then going about my day.

 

[The Elite]

The Asuka thing is just depressing.

Maybe it's just the stream quality, but sometimes GWF was underwater city.

Yup. Splitting it 6 ways with a bunch of other marks tho.

 

[The Elite]

Decided not to pay for it. Seems like too much cheese.

 

[Menome]

At least we got two years of non-ruined Asuka. I can keep my fingers crossed, but I'm not going to raise my expectations.

Fully expecting WWE to make her entrance screen more "Japanese" like they did with Nakamura.

 

[wild wild rice]

Friends, just be happy that Asuka gets to retire and collect her paycheck now. She's put her work in.

 

[Cosmozone]

The entrance already changed a bit. For the worse IMO, but not more Asian or Japanese actually. You can see it here: https://twitter.com/WWENXT/status/900903480809971712

 

[BiggNife]

I had a dream last night that The Undertaker came out of retirement to get into a feud with Enzo Amore

One can only hope this wasn't a premonition

I can totally picture Taker standing stoic in the middle of the ring while Enzo dances around him cutting a promo

Give this guy the book, Sephzilla.

Undertaker popping up on 205 Live to kick Enzo's ass would be funny enough I want it

 

[lucebuce12]

I just love the Mexican chant the crowd keeps doing for Will Ospreay

Also, JESUS CHRIST, Mike Bailey is a handsome man.

I feel like I've already seen this, somehow.

What is carnival of stupid?

I'd rather Big Evil show up

My friends are McGregor marks so I think I'm going over by them to watch

I want to see the disappointment firsthand

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Spoiler

Mark.

 

[FallingEdge]

Yakuza 2 HD remake!

What a great day.

 

[Heroman]

A auska this is your life would a sight to behold.

 

[Beefy]

$100 for the Racist vs Racist match? Fuck that, it's £19 here.

Seph pls.. why?

I'm not paying $100 on my own for it though, fook dat. I'm chipping in with a bunch of people.

Are there no pubs or local drinking spots in your area?

I can't think of a pub within 20 minutes of me that isn't airing it for free.

 

[Sephzilla]

I'm mostly just interested to see if Conor can land the one-in-a-million punch and drop Floyd and murder the sport of boxing

 

[Zach]

I don't watch fake athletics.

 

[Sephzilla]

We aren't talking about the NBA though

 

[Fox318]

I don't watch fake athletics.

Speaking the truth about boxing.

 

[SallyIsNow]

This is one of the biggest fights in combat sports history. At worst it's probably the third biggest PPV of all time. I don't see how WWE Network subscribers can judge someone for being excited for this fight.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

I don't watch fake athletics.

I only watch fake athletic, carnival sideshows.

The "fight" should be fun.
