Saying Brie is the better wrestler is vaguely true, but she's nowhere approaching good, really. She still looks really awkward running around the ring, though some of her stuff with AJ has been alright-ish.

Cena having a co-habitation agreement is amazing

Are those real people there? I didn't think anyone cared about hockey. It's akin to sweeping the kitchen after all.
People said "wait and see" with Booker/Triple H though.
He's as beta as they come, he'll take it and like it.

i'm honest, it took a while to click with me but i honestly feel Cena is the fuckin greatest character in WWE. it's just an assumption i have about him but if i'm correct, every promo of his is suddenly amazing.
I got an award category for this year. Moves that came back in a big way.
I nominate the headbutt
I'm being sarcastic. It's this weird idea that's come over since Brie fucked DBry that she's suddenly 'the good one' because people like DBry so much.

After he'd been able to rise to prominence, become known all around the world, and retire rich enough to live forever (apparently) after working a full schedule for less than five years total.
Some guys never got the chance to even get the ball rolling. Buff was dead on arrival, and supposedly they let him fly out to some TV just to say he was released. I forget the Public Enemy story, but they did a Survivor Series dark match or something and got hazed all to fuck and left. Now they're both dead, so who knows.

PE only had like 4 or 5 matches in WWE or something like that - gotta be a special burial to take them out. Don't get me wrong - I couldn't stand em. That's just such a small window of opportunity to bury someone.
WWE did the same with Buff Bagwell....sorta.
What the fuck?
Their version of "Midnight" is... way worse than Midnight WrassleGaf ever was
Cena gives HHH a run for his money when it comes to burying people in promos. He really is good at it.
As much as folks hate him he's still one of the best talkers WWE has.

Also just a reminder, a competent maid = a competent NHL player. Same skillset.

Cena is now essentially late WCW Kevin Nash. knows the show is awful, doesn't give a fuck, is there to collect a paycheck and to piss off the internet marks.
in 15 years someone will ask him during a shoot interview how it felt to be a 20 time champion and he'll answer "who gives a shit? it's all fake, mark" and it will be glorious.
True, but Warrior managed to build a lifelong enemy in HHH over the course of an afternoon. Everyone else, he took his time pissing off, haha.

I know you were being sarcastic. I was confirming that, in spite of your sarcasm, it IS correct to say that she's "better", but something about that word feels wrong because it connotes positivity she doesn't deserve.
That's what I'm hoping to get at with the Barthes Unknown stuff on legitshook. To me, wrestling criticism as it stands is nine times out of ten only one step away from someone fantasy booking - there's no sense of focus on the technical side of what makes a match legible/decipherable, or any real analysis in a proper critical sense. It's easier for those guys to write 'OK TV match' as a review of three matches in a row than hone in on one point and talk about it at length.
To make a judgement on whether a match is good or bad is difficult because wrestling isn't typically discrete like a film is, you could make an argument that a narrative is a storyline, or a match, or a show, or a character. I think the first step is breaking it down to bits and using those bits to figure out what is good or bad.

There's also the complete opposite feeling - going off of a gut feeling for the match. I think there's perks to both ends, but I tend to go with my gut when I rank a match, or feel like it's GOTY material. Whatever I leave with that made me hype as fuck and can't wait for more is what's truly moving the yardstick for me.
But there's more to it...
been awhile since i watched wrestling
is there any particular reason why this happened besides Triple H having to show off how he's the shit?

Wade barrets burial has to be up there . Or still under that pile of chairs
NOPE!

At the time, the answer seemed to be yes. It was setting HHH up as someone who needed to flaunt, thus making his eventual downfall more satisfying.
Having seen where the whole angle went - no. No reason at all.

And response recorded.
Totally going with this for gif of the year, it's just too useful!
On a totally different note, I'll be at the RAW taping in Austin on the 17th with my brothers and a friend. Will bring signs, hopefully you'll be able to see our WrasslGAF shoutout.
That was my vote
Another favourite gif:
I prefer this one

It's the only story in WWE that i can say started great, and stayed consistent right until the end. Except I guess Punk/Taker, but I liked Rhodes/Authority more.
Yeah, i dunno if Zayn can do a wacky character

Yeah, there's definitely room for both. I feel like there's a lot less analysis and study than there should be though. I wrote a thing for the site the other week about how Shakespeare and wrestling fall into a very similar category of thing (and I think it would be tough to argue otherwise) and people don't seem too shy about looking at Shakespeare closely last time I checked.
Let's get pro wrestling on school syllabuses for next year.

Daniel Bryan has gross hair and a gross beard according to my wife. She does not care that he's Daniel Bryan.
She did, however, ask me after the show ended a few weeks back "Doesn't Randy Orton come out after Daniel Bryan wins and win the title?" So there's that...

I've never seen a bigger crybaby than SteveWinwood. He's a disgrace to the Steve Winwood name. Fucking shameful existence. I was going to cut a promo on him but I'd rather laugh at him in our own Kliq.
Lest we forget the real GIF of the year.
Real GIF of the year is the Vince McMahon / WBF one.

Wrestling GAF grows stronger every week. Our fake Vince McMahon is booking Wrassle-GAF stronger than the real Vince McMahon is booking WWE. Our viewership is going up, our profile and standing within the General Off-Topic media is growing too. We're making a strong relationship within gaming gaf too, with several appearances by non-WrassleGAF members.
It's a good year.
It's a good year.
That's a severe lack of experience if he doesn't realise a whiny post like that isn't going to invite ten times more gifs onto it.
Lol, bad phrasing on my part. Probably should have said "dead in the water" gimmick, though I have to wonder if he shares Bryan's ability to spin gold from shit.

You guys still rely on us part-timers though (me, Ninja Scooter, Guzim)
We're still the main draws even with our diminished post counts.
Is wrassleGAF being referenced more than every other GAF, per thread? How are our social thread ambassadors being received? How are our hashtags?
Are they touting god damn it?
@ Vince: Don't forget the "legit shook" reference in the WWE Cena racing game.
