I mean, if there were Christmas songs as good as spielberg movies then maybe

Can't stand a lot of his films, mainly because I can't stand how overtly he tugs the heart strings and can't stand the fact that everyone seems to love him for it. Yuck. Nothing wrong with his direction though, or most of his output before he became a hack

yeah i don't buy it. Sure WWE buries alot of people. But most people on this list should not become WWE champion under any circumstance. It's not just booking and the gimmick they have that is preventing them from actually being relevant..

 

[bean breath]

My criticisms: Too insular and in-jokey, too many lists of grades for wrestling pay-per-views without any commentary (apologies, but those things have no value to anyone), and a too-heavy reliance on GIFs.

I don't watch much wrestling, but I like reading wrestling news and rumors. And I like criticism of the product: what worked and what didn't. And I like it when people relay anecdotes or recap shows they've gone to. All that stuff I mentioned above actively hampers debate and discussion.

What are your thoughts on quoting wrestler's catchphrases and promos, like for example Roman Reigns?

 

[bean breath]

Speaking about how this thread is GIF-heavy...

WrassleGAF, my wedding is this weekend. Hit me up with some of the most FnP wrestling wedding gifs out there.

A Christmas wedding?

lol i'm watching the first episode of kojak and the gang of criminals escaping the police get off on a street I used to work part time at. Some places never change

Best Spielberg movies: Indiana Jones series. That's kind of it. Jaws and JP have their merits, but I'm not a big fan of either.

The pilot movie? Harvey Keitel! As pilots go it's a LITTLE weird but it doesn't deviate from what the show turns into. Every episode is great. I really wanna know how you enjoy it, if you enjoy it. I'm sure you will though.

Barrett
Cody Rhodes
Damien Sandow

Those are about the only people I think could be champion off that list. Barrett cause he has a solid gimmick that people can get around. Cody cause he can just about mold himself into any gimmick. Sandow because the people are somewhat behind him due to him being Mizdow.

Seeing that list really makes me wish they'd cut the dead weight.

 

[bean breath]

The issue for me is a long list of event names with a grade and no commentary.

I'll be shouted down, but I think some context would make your lists less listy. Which may not even be a word.

Merry XXXmas.

You're telling me you actually read game reviews instead of just skipping to the score?

 

[Kiever Sher]

Is this real life

If not it certainly should be

 

[Sweeney Tom]

AJ Styles has always been a piece of shit, so idk why people would believe that's fake and not a thing he absolutely either made or signed off on being made

 

[Jimmy King]

Wrestling Weddings

 

[British Monsoon]

Not the first time a wrestler's made a t-shirt to profit from another wrestler's misfortune and it won't be the last. See; "Owen 3:16 says I just broke your neck!", Valentine's "I Broke Wahoo's Leg" shirt and countless Ox Baker shirts playing off the fact that he killed a man in the ring.

Nash gets arrested and you fuckers wanted him to be the captain?

 

[PInk Tape]

I'd rather get a piece of cole in my stocking than that.

 

[British Monsoon]

My favourite thing about Nashvember was how quickly people ran out of Kevin Nash-related things to talk about, hardly even worth a whole month.

 

[Kiever Sher]

Should not have tucked your heads lads, now it's AJ's right to make money off your misfortune. Love this business, I really do.

Now it's clear I made the right decision for the thread title last month.

WWE Star Kevin Nash -- Arrested for Battery ... Bloody Fight with Son

TMZ just got the two police reports. As for Kevin's arrest ... the report says he told cops his son came home wasted and belligerent toward him and Kevin's wife, then spit in his face and elbow-checked him. Kevin told cops he pinned Tristen to the ground and that's when Tristen scratched his face.

But Tristen said Kevin was berating him over his relationship with his girlfriend. He says Kevin then choke-slammed him to the ground and, just like Kevin's signature move, Tristen says he hit is head so hard on the ground he blacked out.

Cops arrested Kevin because they felt he was the "primary aggressor."

As for Tristen's arrest two hours later ... Tristen's uncle told cops the young man -- who is 6'5" and 200 lbs -- was drunk and had "slung his mom around the kitchen" and tried attacking him as well.
update-grey-gray-barWrestling superstar Kevin Nash was arrested early Christmas Eve morning -- after getting into a bloody fight with his teenage son Tristen ... TMZ has learned.

The 55-year-old legend -- who is currently under contract with the WWE -- was taken into custody in Volusia County, Florida after cops received a call about a domestic incident just after midnight.

When cops arrived to the scene ... they noticed blood on Kevin's face and arrested Nash.

Two hours later, cops received another 911 call from a person claiming 18-year-old Tristen attacked his mother. He was also arrested for battery.

Cops tell TMZ alcohol may have been a factor.

I'd rather get a piece of cole in my stocking than that.

Which piece?

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

augh, Tristan Nash is an obnoxious name.

 

[Vylash]

GOOD GOD, THAT MAN HAS A FAMILY

 

[Marvel]

That's it, he's dead.

 

[PInk Tape]

Which piece?

His soul patch. I want to see how weird he looks without it.

Spoiler

I ment actual cole if you aren't joking :s

[miserable]

that Orton gif is funny, but not as funny as your avatar CureVylash

who is that dude anyway? the japanese Rikishi wanna-bee?

and why did JR always pronounce Rikishi "Rahkeeshi"? is that an american thing like pronouncing Ryu "Rye-ooh"?

 

[British Monsoon]

Ryota Hama, former sumo turned wrestler. He randomly started cosplaying Rikishi last year and it's sort of stuck, for some reason.

Are you aware of the difference between cole and coal?

 

[Hasney]

For anyone else who thinks Christmas music is ass, get Santa Cause and the sequel album for punk rock Christmas.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

I don't remember Kevin Nash ever doing a choke slam, especially as a signature move.

 

[miserable]

are you saying there's a difference between coal miners and cole miners?

 

[PInk Tape]

Are you aware of the difference between cole and coal?

Oh... Ohhh.

This is what I get for not sleeping properly the last couple of days. These sorts of things slip past me easily when that happens :/

Chokeslammed HHH in his last match.

Which to our amusement prompted a "That's 'Takers move, CLOWN!" heckle from a dude in the crowd.

 

[Vylash]

speaking of getting rid of these fucking avatars, when are the carnies

I'm convinced the 70s is still the coolest decade ever, even without the modern amenities.

Well alright there's at least one instance of him using it then, didn't remember anything about that match or that heckler.

All of the Monday Night War stuff has me thinking.

Between Hogan, Nash, and Russo who is the one most at fault for WCW folding the way it did?

Ambrose looks so much better when his hair is dry.

Vince has a huge fetish with wrestlers looking wet.
