Yep, more and more people will get it as well, due to people living longer.

Yeah, my grandmother is almost 94 and while in hindsight the signs were there for years it wasn't until she had a sharp drop off near the end of 2014 that it really became pronounced that she was properly diagnosed. When grandfather died at 81 back in 1992 also in a similar state but his was due to brain damage, IIRC caused by a lack of oxygen for several minutes, after a serious car accident he had three years prior.
"Ive been on short-term disability and then long-term disability, Ive had seizures and epilepsy for the last 19 years." He said that he can no longer work and the diagnosis is the reason why hes been off the air for a year. He was an anchor on the local NBC affiliate in Chicago up until a year ago
last 19 years? Well that about proves it. Poor guy.

Hopefully that will get cancelled out by us finding a cure sooner rather than later.

I wanted to mention something, but I thought twice about it because of the sensitivity. But you understand what I was thinking.
Yeah and alzheimer's.

I wasn't planning on getting it (not totally sold by alpha/beta), caved and bought and I'm really glad I did. Don't know what all has changed since the demos but it feels much more like a Ninja Gaiden than a Souls game now. They also more clearly explain systems which is appreciated, I didn't understand the spirit animal stuff at all. It's basically a devil trigger that recharges fairly quickly. It feels like a character action game designed around the ruleset of Souls
Once you start unlocking moves it becomes pretty fantastic
World/story doesn't touch Souls but scratches the itch of combat/difficulty for sure. More so than Dark Souls 3 for me (thus far)

31 dollars Canadian for 25 pieces of paper and a clipboard...no
Straight out of the mark accessory section.
The beta and demo were amazing. After playing those, NiOh became my most antecipated game since Resident Evil 4.
Too bad I won't be able to play until the year's end...
Opening match was amazing, they are trying to do something with the Ascension (which is nice), the contract signing was good (would've been great if Mickie didn't take 3 hours to speak 5 words). Yeah, man, another week, another good SD episode
EDIT: I forgot about the opening promo, which was pretty good too. Man, Daniel Bryan... I hope he stays over forever.
I've seen worse sadly. Some of the shit people make gifs about is messed.
Only cruiserweight I actually like.
Pretty smart idea, a Mafia member in the main event picture.

Holy hell, I wish him and his family well through this time.
Is it bad that I see Mick Foley going down this route too? I'm glad he's getting healthier and all but I fear for him sometimes.

You can tell he is suffering from something already sadly.

So I just came up with the perfect gimmick match for The Miz to win the WWE title in. Now it's probably more suited for TNA but ah well.
The Target On Your Back Elimination Match:
Rules are:
There is 6+ men (or could be more but whatever let's go with 6), falls count anywhere (this could be optional but with it being falls count anywhere you can have like 10 people in the match and not be always crowding the ring)
The match is a normal until the first elimination but then the Target on Your Back comes into play, essentially the person who scores the first elimination let's call them wrestler A becomes the target because after the first elimination wrestler A can eliminate anyone else but wrestlers B through whatever can only eliminate wrestler A. Match continues and if someone eliminates wrestler A they become the target and so forth until only two remain and then it's your basic 1 on 1 falls count anywhere match to finish.
This could make for some interesting stories, in that the grade A bad ass face who shows up to kick ass and doesn't give a damn could have a huge strong showing to start, get that first fall without thinking about it and then get his ass kicked because it's now like 4,5,6 on one. You'd have people kicking ass but refusing to go for pins because they don't want to be the target.
You'd also have a great clusterfuck brawl to start that immediately turns into a crazy handicap match as soon as the first elimination is scored and fighting each other is a waste of time.
But most importanly this is a cowardly heel's, aka the Miz, dream match for heel spots. A Miz character could do all kinds of things, like say for the first fall he hits a SCF on someone and then again on another person, he could put on on the top of the other trigger the elimination but the wrestler that got the pin would now be the target for everyone else. Or better yet he could just come across two guys who took each other out and put on on top of the other.
Miz could also pull a Jericho in the Rumble and just sit out most of the match (even sneak off to do commentary) while everyone else kill each other and then score a cheap roll up or SCF win on the last guy right after they got the second to last pinfall/submission.
It's a little convoluted to explain but I think it'd be a fun match type.
If you can't tell I'm a huge fan of cowardly but intelligent heels, who play within the technicality of the rules but completely spit on the spirit of the rules. It's how I play games myself, until enough people get mad at me.

He forgot his lines on RAW once. He had to ask on air.
Then again. So has Randy Orton!

Like my Raw review, only this post was just me talking about a match type I invented in the shower 20 minutes ago lol
Filth.
Wait. But in the shower. Sounds pretty clean. I'm gonna need a verdict on this, Menome.
Went to Smackdown last night, had 5th row behind the announcers. Was a really, really good time. Was surprised to see a large portion of seats opposite hard camera were empty; they must not have promoted D. Bryan well enough.
It's amazing how over the guy is here... the opening segment was fire, and the Miz was booed so loudly I couldn't hear a word he was saying. Match-wise, the 4-way and main event were really, really hot, but most everything in between (other than the Rhyno cheering insanity) was pretty cold. That said, still an excited crowd.
205 Live was pretty fun too, and the crowd slowly worked it's way into it, and the main event of 205 Live was a great example of that. This is the 4th WWE show I've seen in Seattle, and the crowd is generally easy to please... give them something and they'll get hot. Ali got himself over decently enough in the first match, and he and Gallagher were enough to spark the crowd such that when a good match started to unfold, it didn't get lost in deafening silence. Gallagher really is something... getting a ton of people who had never heard of him or seen him on their feet by the end.
Dark match was Miz vs Ambrose with Bryan as special guest referee, and there a ton of legitimately funny comedy bits. Great cap to the night, and absolutely no regrets in going.

I'm pretty sure WWE is trying to see just how far they can charge people for Wrestlemania before they turn away.
Just like Nintendo is doing with the Switch
Honestly, I know $50 isn't bad for big events. I'm sure there will be private parking lots charging even more. It's just the most I've ever spent for official parking because normally that shit is $20 or $30 for what I go to if you pay for it.

Yeah but Orton doesn't do random shit in the middle of the ring like Foley. I still remember him randomly spinning around and then jumping off the 2nd rope when he was on the mic.
you're damn right Mauro is so over
