Why is it a brass ring? Why not gold?

Budget cuts. Blame the millenials for not buying the Network like we were s'posed to

 

[slightconfuse]

Tyson Kidd proves that going down to NXT is a good thing. Everyone needs a refresh

 

[strobogo]

This is exactly how I feel watching this movie.

 

[Alucard]

I'll spoiler it

Spoiler

The opening of Hobbit 3 should have been the ending of the last movie. Having Smaug show up only to get killed 10 minutes into the movie was dumb because it felt like the movie basically had to reset itself.

I was starting to get attached to the characters during the second movie, but it felt like almost all of their character development stopped going into this movie. Thorin swings between heel and face like the fucking Big Show. The Sauron sub plot is wiped away pretty abruptly. Why does 9 more dwarves suddenly end up being enough to turn the tide of a battle where they are clearly outnumbered?

The CG in this movie also felt surprisingly weak. It just felt like I was seeing a lot of copy/paste orcs, elves, and dwarves everywhere and it took me out of the movie a bit. Plus that dwarf leading that army was apparently all CGI for no good reason. I didn't like how the supporting dwarves were killed off kind of abruptly, and on top of that whats-her-face Elf Lady who was in love with one of them didn't even get to avenge his death. Instead she became a crying female stereotype just so Legolas could have another fight scene where he rips off Metal Gear Rising at the end of it by running up a falling bridge.

The battles in this movie felt like video game fights and didn't really mesh with the tone of the more grounded Lord of the Rings battles. Legolas skateboarding down stairs on a shield I can buy because it's somewhat physically possible, but running up the bricks of a falling bridge is a straight up "physics dont work that way" thing.

Thorin's death didn't feel like it had much weight to it because his death was, honestly, stupid and his final talk with Bilbo didn't have much emotional weight behind it for me considering this they don't act friendly to each other at all during the movie. Oh, and remember the Arkenstone and how that didn't get resolved at all either by the end of the movie?

I just, ugh, I dunno, I actually got bored with this movie and it felt really sloppy compared to the other 5 movies Jackson did

I can certainly concede on a lot of these points. You're spot on about

Spoiler

the arkenstone and the humans storyline in general. They seemed to get totally dropped by the end, and the significance of the eagles wasn't played up enough.

 

[somedevil]

There is no way I could listen to this guy for four hours. He's in the Tenay-tier of cunts.

I've probably would of accepted him more if I didn't know Pollock was the other choice.

Case in point, Cesaro. Didn't someone post a video the other day about Curtis Axel going down for a bit. I'll be pretty surprised if anything he does can make me give a shit about him.

Yep he is going to face Itami on the main event of one the upcoming NXT shows.

 

[bean breath]

Rollins killing it.

That was probably his best promo work yet but he's no Roman Reigns.

 

[JavyOO7]

I don't watch any movie with Jeremy Renner in a major role in it. The Roman Reigns of Hollywood.

The three with Damon was good. The fourth wasn't bad but just... there. Renner only had charisma at the end.

 

[joelseph]

Beyond Wrestling and a bunch of other indies are holding a 'Boycott RAW' event on January 19th where they're inviting everyone who complains endlessly about RAW, but then still tunes in the next week to watch a ton of free indie wrestling live streamed on Beyond's youtube channel.

https://www.youtube.com/user/BeyondWrestling

I think WrassleGAF should do this. Even if you fucking hate indie wrestling, I guarantee you'll have a better time making fun of it here and in nerdchat than you would do watching RAW.

This beyond wrestling person is a fan of 2Chainz and dubstep

Dudes, you could be watching The Young Bucks take on Matt Sydal and ACH for free on http://rohwrestling.com/tv/current right now.

Do yourselves a favour and check it out. Guaranteed that the 50 minutes of tag wrestling will be more entertaining than the 3-hour variety show!

Stop trolling during Raw, dawg. This is not the time.

 

[jred2k]

Someone should go back to one of their posts from last night and edit in spoilers to Raw. It would ruin bean breath's afternoon.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Why is it a brass ring? Why not gold?

Because:

A brass ring is a small grabbable ring that a dispenser presents to a carousel rider during the course of a ride. Usually there are a large number of iron rings and one brass one, or just a few. It takes some dexterity to grab a ring from the dispenser as the carousel rotates. The iron rings can be tossed at a target as an amusement. Typically, getting the brass ring gets the rider some sort of prize when presented to the operator. The prize often is a free repeat ride. The phrase to grab the brass ring is derived from this device.

It's literally a carny phrase

 

[Jimmy King]

What if bean breath was a real person?

 

[Caspel]

Is this on purpose or are you dumb as fuck?

I enjoy watching everyone complaining about the waterhole (WWE) tasting like shit but always returning to the waterhole since there's nothing else in the US that's on the same level. So yeah, you are dumb as fuck for continually returning back to the shitty waterhole that tastes like shit and will continue until VKM dies or sells off the WWE. The complaining has now become a parody of itself, so always amuses me to check in after Raw to see the same complaints regardless of what happens.

 

[bean breath]

wow if that wasn't a typical cena win I don't know what is..

There's nothing typical about Cena simultaneously Attitude Adjusting two men.

 

[bean breath]

So what was the point of the last six months of protecting Rollins?

The point, was elevating a lanky vanilla midget to the point where the thought of him standing in the ring, face to face with John Cena was not laughter inducing.

That's a completely different thing than what you originally said, friend.

 

[bean breath]

meh heels can lose


Plus rollins has the Money in the Bank.

They don't need to protect him.

Are you sure? Because that's not what Dave Meltzer says.

 

[Sephzilla]

I don't watch any movie with Jeremy Renner in a major role in it. The Roman Reigns of Hollywood.

No way, Sam Worthington is the Roman Reigns of Hollywood.

 

[Frecklestein]

Bean Breath, huh? Beans tend to make people gassy, must be why you talk a lot of crap, jack. I see you come out here every week runnin' your mouth like you own the place, but let me tell ya somethin' kid.. These fans here in WrestleGAF pay damn good money to come here EACH. AND. EVERY. WEEK! ..and regardless of how positive or negative they feel, at the end of the day, this is AMERICA and they have the right to those opinions. So stop running your jaw and run on down to this ring and I'll smack the taste of Beans out your mouth, jack

 

[FallingEdge]

bean reviews the comments is a fantastic segment

welcome back bean

Hi bean.

Except merch, Seth is better than Punk in every way... there's similarities sure, but the speed of his growth in all attributes is highly impressive.

Seth isn't a tenth of the carny Punk is. Very few people can be.

[DMczaf]

Too many shoots going on here

 

[bean breath]

lol Kane

Swagger stay jobbing

Dolph, stop this shit.

New Day vignettes? Again? So are we forgetting the past 3 weeks?

So....... who gets to bury Adam Rose this week?

R Truth? The hell?!?

Edit: loooooooooololololollololllllllll

Well the bunny is done now finally. They already taped smackdown and actually planned ahead.

None of this is on Hulu, what a ripoff. I'm never doing this again. I can't believe I missed The New Day.

 

[Frecklestein]

You either die trying to main event WrestleMania, or live long enough to see yourself do it as a part-timer.

 

[Serpentine]

Promos.

No way, Sam Worthington is the Roman Reigns of Hollywood.

Sam Worthington's back to the midcard. Renner's still getting lead roles!

He's getting lead roles in midcard movies like Hansel & Gretel and Discount Bourne. He's a midcarder when it comes to the main event movies.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Is carny wrassle-gaf's new word of the month?

 

[Frecklestein]

To this day I still can't believe Joker Sting was a real thing

Funny how he's become Vigilante Sting now

Is carny wrassle-gaf's new word of the month?

It's a way of life

 

[Data West]

Is carny wrassle-gaf's new word of the month?

Carny is a real word though. Unlike Heavy shit, it came from wrestling.

 

[bean breath]

Reigns' arm cock is stupid.

You need to build anticipation and exaggerate your movements so the fans in the nosebleed seats can follow along. Try reading The Observer sometime, mark.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Sting must be doing most of his vigilante work off camera lol.

 

[Serpentine]

He's getting lead roles in midcard movies like Hansel & Gretel and Discount Bourne. He's a midcarder when it comes to the main event movies.

true, true

i looked up his IMDB and what the fuck, he's making a Steve McQueen biopic with him in the lead. nah breh

 

[Alucard]

Stop trolling during Raw, dawg. This is not the time.

My apologies, brother bean. I'll be more sensitive in the future.

 

[Jimmy King]

He's getting lead roles in midcard movies like Hansel & Gretel and Discount Bourne. He's a midcarder when it comes to the main event movies.

Everything in life can be enhanced by using wrasslin jargon.

 

[Marvel]

Was Sting wearing a tshirt over his gear again even during his SS WWE debut? lol I believe he was.

 

[avengers23]

Reigns' arm cock is stupid.

Gotta cock something when you used to hang out with the Titty Master.

 

[bean breath]

Nothing makes a man look more strong than a count out

Now that's how you make Roman look strong.

Spoiler

This isn't over btw

OH COME ON. What kind of steamrolling rocket-attached face who is supposed to be on a rampage wins via goddamn count-out? Yup. That makes him look soooooo so strong.

Weak sauce on count out win..

That's a completely different thing than what you originally said, friend.

Nope -- Reigns is just the new cog in the wheel that people are complaining about since it's WWE-endorsed and not fan-endorsed. Doesn't matter who it is; this thread will typically complain about the wrestler that is being placed in the spotlight by the WWE. And that, my friend, is hilarious since it's a never-ending cycle with WWE and anyone who isn't on board with what the WWE is selling.

 

[PInk Tape]

SHE'S FAT!

Apparently. It's not like she's making a weird face reacting to Rosa kissing her.. Oh wait.

-Mrs. Phil "CM Punk" Brooks

Worst part of that promo. Fuck slut shaming whether it's true or not.

She'll be getting a farting gimmick in the new year.

Read that as tanning >.>

Negative

 

[Aiii]

Are you sure? Because that's not what Dave Meltzer says.

Funny that you mention this, he actually said this quite recently on one of his podcasts, heels are supposed to lose often, so Rollins losing often isn't that big a problem.

 

[strobogo]

That seems pretty rude.

 

[bean breath]

.

Thanks for bringing Dave Meltzer tweets into the thread, we need a voice of reason right now. Now if only these marks would read it.

 

[bean breath]

Meltzer with them truth bombs.

Amen.
