God forbid the WWE actually gives fans *gasps* OPTIONS of superstars to enjoy and actually use their roster to it's advantage.
You have 3 hours of raw, 1 hour of main event, 2 hours of smackdown, 1 hour of superstars, and you still use the same set of wrestlers throughout the program.
I'm sure he would, but he would have to do it with half the viewers and half the money.
yes
In a Universe without Jacksonville Waffle House employees, Heel Cena will be the #1 seller in the company by a mile. Demographic shifts breh.
Honestly, the one thing that sticks out to me about the whole thing is the rebranding of young guys. A guy makes a persona and gets over enough elsewhere to get noticed and signed, then they cut that persona down and stick the dude with a dumb name and a slap on the ass. Even if it's a goofy persona, if it's the person's creation, wouldn't they be more inclined to try and make it a thing?
I mean, I get that they want their own trademarks, but it's stupid. Companies will just sell DVDs of the guy with "WWE superstar formerly known as" taglines, and the dudes actively talking about their renames on twitter and shit, what is the WWE actually accomplishing with this theory? If they released Sami Zayn today, it's not like he's going to beg for rights to that name, and they haven't hurt his indie drawing power at all. Unless this is all leading to a storyline with nxt dudes taking over and being like 'fuck no, I am el generico, this is KENTA" etc. in a fight against HHH and some oldheads like Orton.

Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose haven't had any issues.
I do think that, as time goes on and there's ever-more social media involvement, it appears sillier.

I know you guys like a good lariatoooooo and this certainly qualifies;
I didn't realise this was an actual opinion until the internet, where you can find someone to hate everything, even a beloved children's classic. Don't tell me you hate Time Bandits as well, 'cause that, the Never Ending Story and Back to the Future are like my whole childhood

Well Time Bandits is too Euro for me, but considering some of the shit that comes out of Sephzilla's mouth, you can't really be too upset with him not understanding the majesty and glory of the first Neverending Story.
And goddamn does Artax die EARLY in that movie too. I always remembered it as being a later thing, but it's like seriously the first 20 mins.
an aside, I always wanted to grow up to look and act like Griff from BTTF2. I'm mostly there.

Back to the Future is amazing and is one of the greatest movie trilogies of all time - I'm also pretty sure that it's also the last pre-2000 movie trilogy that hasn't been shit on by the 21st century.
Never Ending Story was ruined by watching it when I was old enough to actually grasp the concept of decent story telling. It's a movie that tries too damn hard and has entire segments that straight up don't make much sense.

Those Telltale games didn't do BTTF any favors. Nice effort, but they shouldn't have really tried.
Wonder how far off Lego BTTF is.
Just get this and be happy:
Although the Ghostbusters Ecto-1 is definitely better.

Children's toys? Must be a generational gap, I have no love for legos.

The best thing about those games were the art style and character designs, other than that... pretty bleh.
I don't think I even made it past episode 3. Although it could be I'm just not a huge Telltale guy.

Them shits just weren't fun. Felt the same about the TT Monkey Island stuff too. They don't make great games all that often.
I thought the Telltale games were fine. It didn't really add anything but it sure as hell didn't hurt the franchise.

Tickets to the Raw after mania are selling quickly. We were lucky to even get decent seats. Anyone having issues?
Looks like everyone wants to see Seth-kun curbstomp Roman and grab the brass ring.
There's no reason why several guys can stay in the midcard and stay fresh. Instead, they're doing the same damn thing and wrestling the same opponents on a weekly basis. Sandow's Intellectual Savior gimmick was not main event material, and that's fine, but they botched his MitB win and booking after.

I've been a Goto mark since 2011 when it looked like they were finally going to give him a main event run and have him win the gold over Kojima in the Dome, but they ducked out at the last second and gave the shot to good ol' Cenahashi. I really hope they give him at least a 1-2 month pity run with the title in the coming year, he doesn't even have to win on his first defense, just give the guy a chance. Even so, I expect he and Shibata take the belts from the BC at WK9.
Not surprised. Raw after Mania is almost as long as Mania now and is usually better.

Why these carny fucks making it hard for me to break commitment? They suppose to send me a email to help cancel out of the network, and it's been a few hours already :/.
I want to cancel before they charge me tomorrow
Mine shows this now:
In the process of getting a refund on the expansion and driving to GameStop to wash my hands of the game entirely.
Read the Game Informer article in the thread. The game is insulting and I will not support its existence.
DESTINY CAN STICK IT.
