Also, I wonder what type of shit Cena complains about. And Orton.

Money. Having to do house shows. Shitty checks now that the network cut out PPV. Getting enough screen time it will allow them to push their merch.

If the CM Punk podcast is anything to go by, all of the wrestler's complaints lead back to money and how they can be making more.

Is it? Rock's best acting role was in a straight to DVD movie (Frankman's biopic)

That came out to theaters just after Elimination Chamber 2013 or WM29. Can't remember which one it was.

Wrestlers who could sell me on Audio Books

1) Scott Steiner
2) The Poffo Brothers. Lanny would read the text, but Randy would read the dialogue
3) Bobby Heenan but before the cancer because I couldn't understand him sadly.
4) Nailz
5) Thuperthar Billy Graham
6) Paul Bearer
7) Scott Hall

Jericho's interview with Rollins is pretty good

How much was it?

Well not all. Some are still afraid of saying anything.

And you know what's fun to think about? What wrestlers are doing when they're not wrestling. I don't mean the person themself. I mean the actual wrestler character. I guess the comic books kind of cover that, but I'd buy a kayfabe book of all their exploits. Like what is Big Bossman doing when he's not wrasslin? Is he still running the prison ward? Is he constantly spying on Big Show to troll him? What did Billy Graham do in the 70s when he wasn't wrestling? Take drugs, work out, and fuck women? These are the questions.

Or is he taming space tigers in his free time?

Sorry Jericho and Steve, I bought a shit ton of things from Amazon this weekend and never used your show links once. Sorry...but I guess I didn't show any love..not even a little.

 

[Frecklestein]

Today is a new day, friends

 

[plagiarize]

LOL at people asking which one is Konnor and which one is Viktor (and EURGH at those spellings). Yeah, physically they look very different, but... they're both as bland as bland can be. It's not so much that you can't tell them apart, so much as... who can be fucking bothered to learn which one is which?

Sounds like they'll fit right in with the WWE tag division

well, Gold and Star are nice and distinct. New Day! They are too. Miz and Mizdow... obviously which is which is pretty apparent. Slater Gator... yep. Nice and apparent.

But yeah, the Usos and Los Matadores (apart from El Torito) are completely interchangeable.

The tag division is in a bad way and has been for ages. Still, I'm not complaining about better tag teams being left down in NXT, where things are a bit better (still not great, but NXT tag just got better with Ascension leaving).

The only thing over about Rose was his music. I think people actually like Big E.

 

[Toki767]

The New Day already debuted on Smackdown. It wasn't really anything special either.

It's fucked up. They should think far off into the future. Maybe some Storm..

Don't know if this was posted already. From the Observer:

Regarding English commentary on New Japan World, it was addressed last night and Takaaki Kidani said they were looking into doing so.

new day aren't really like that. it's more like they're encouraging than preaching. maybe it'll lead to a feud with Bo when he gets healthy.

What's Smackdown?

 

[strobogo]

It's kind of amazing how all the major angles from Summerslam were undermined or reversed by Survivor Series.


Nikki turns on Brie, now they're reunited apparently.

Seth and Dean have both moved on

Brock crushes Big Show, Taker, and Cena, then a month later has a ton of trouble with Cena and would have lost without Seth interfering. And now he's been gone for 3 months.

Seth and Cena are both stuck in a hold pattern with each other waiting for the champion to actually come to work

Roman is out hurt and Orton turned face before being taken off TV

Jericho is gone

Authority is out of power

 

[Marvel]

Black Friday debut for them also, lol.

Is it wrong that the Usos doc on the Network actually made me hate them more?

"Uncle Umaga saved our lives"

He saved your lives from having to do a normal fucking 9-5 job, that's all.

You'd need subtitles for much of them, and that's very impossible. That said, I agree almost entirely with your list. ESPECIALLY if they're in character.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone here seen Scott Steiner's old website? It's absolutely hilarious, and... In a way, exactly what you'd expect.

He needs to figure out a way to collaborate with WWE on his new shirts. These designs are fucking terrible.

Ick. The flag one would be alright without the writing but these are some low grade designs, like clip art looking shit right here.

Really sad to see.

Fuck it, does the WWE Punk shirt have anything on the back? Might grab one during the sale today. $30 before the code ain't bad.

There's about 20 or so from pre-96.

And a whole bunch of Hulk Hogan matches you won't find on the network.

How recommended are the Hogan matches? Tempted to jump onboard anyway to check out another production I've never seen before and the price is damn good.

is xavier woods actually talented? i saw him like 3 times on NXT and he was just getting squashed by brodus clay

actually the only reason I even know of Xavier is that he was at some arcade/game shop (dont remember which) playing Street Fighter with people. he mentioned he was a wrestler so i looked him up

 

[Frecklestein]

Yeesh, those Punk shirts are straight up urgly. I also love that there's a pipe bomb shirt, when he just buried "pipe bombs" on the podcast. The only one that I'd get is the D.A.R.E inspired shirt, but I'm not wearing anything with "motherfucker" on it.

I like Viktor. His look is fine and he seems capable. Konnor is just the power and he got over with his yah kicks.

Those shirts are hot garbage.
They make Christian's last 5 years' worth of WWE shirts look like marketing masterworks by comparison.

 

[Sephzilla]

I guess it just rubbed me the wrong way. They go from talking about how they were working a fairly normal sounding family business to breaking into the pro-wrestling world, and act like it saved their lives.

get out of here with that hot garbage, especially when you are benefiting from nepotism on both sides of that discussion.

 

[British Monsoon]

How recommended are the Hogan matches? Tempted to jump onboard anyway to check out another production I've never seen before and the price is damn good.

His matches with Fujinami, Muta and Inoki are easily some of the best of his career, plus there's a few good tag matches and a match with Andre from '83 when Andre was a bit more mobile.

 

[StylesClash]

The only thing over about Rose was his music. I think people actually like Big E.

The original rose theme was great...the final one...not so much.

And yes I have no issues with Big E, they just need to let him show more personality one way or another.

He is decent. He worked at TNA as well as consequences creed and during a match he threw up in the middle of the ring.

Plus they announced for Raw a tag team turmoil for the number 1 contender spot. Here are the teams:

Rose and the bunny
Cesaro and Tyson Kidd
Usos
New Day
Rhodes Brothers

I wonder because from Smackdown the

Rhodes Brothers are teasing feuding with the new day so I expect the Usos to win

I could never hate the Usos they lack the personality required to create such an emotion inside of me.

Hopefully. My money situation is getting kinda weird. I'm having to funnel a lot of my money into my job, which is weird, but I'm coming out of it with all these insane designations that are going to allow me to pick and choose where I want to work, anywhere. A lot of money spent but it's going to pay off handsomely.

So I can't afford WWE2k15 right now :/ Yet.

The Black Flag-inspired one is cute (even though I don't love Black Flag), as is the D.A.R.E. one.
