Finally watched the Stonecold Podcast. I wish this were a weekly thing, or at least a once a month regular thing.

Triple H got real on the Chyna question....and quite frankly, I agree with him.

Great interview. Stone Cold don't throw no softballs.

Review-a-Wai mentioned that the best thing about these interviews is that nobody can go to Stone Cold and say "You wouldn't know unless you were in the ring" like Reigns says all of the time.

Kevin Dunn would be the ultimate guest on the podcast.

"So why do you film matches like a seizure victim holding a camera?"

It's so hard reading the pulse of the audience sometimes to figure out the right angle, and sometimes when you get latched onto that pulse, the audience feels like it's having a seizure.

On the other hand, I saw someone comment that Triple H once fucked a mannequin on TV. So there's that.

I get it though, but you could easily induct "DX" and have Chyna there. Kids that are gonna Google "Chyna" are gonna have Safe-Search on anyways... I hope.

yall naive as fuck

this is 2015. Anyone who googles Chyna is gonna stroll past the porn because its nothing they aint seen before.

"yeah...yeah... but what about her contributions to DIS BIDNESS"

shes not getting in for a while

"Why do you feel the need to not light the audience in the background? You make your shows look like they have nobody in the stands. Do you want your program to look like TNA?"

Lol....when I google WWE Chyna, first thing that comes up: "Triple H's reasons for excluding Chyna in the HOF don't hold water and are examples of WWE's Sexism."

Yep. I also loved how H' talked about going back to the bullet point promos on NXT like the old days. You could see Stone Cold was happy about that.
 
i did not personally agree about the Chyna thing. I can see where he's coming from but there is safe search and even targeted search where if someone searches for wrestling a lot, it'd curate wrestling related Chyna articles near the top.

The hall of fame has snuka, who killed someone, moolah who was an abusive and manipulative businesswoman, and even stone cold who beat his wife :\

There's a ton of things Chyna has accomplished that 15-16 years later still have not been matched.

She'll get in. In decade no one will think about it as long as she stays away from doing it again.

Let's be honest. What Triple H couldn't say is that yeah, he did Chyna wrong, and it'll be weird when he kids find that out.

One thing I didn't buy was Triple H saying he didn't have heat with Chyna or CM Punk. I could tell, especially with CM Punk, he was thinking about his words carefully. He was thinking like a COO.

It needs to be a mix of scripted, bullet points, and complete improvisation.

Having a script isn't always a bad thing but when the people writing the script are daytime soap writers and Vince I don't think its a good thing.

True, you need a script sometimes when you want things to go a certain way...but it's good to be able to work both ways.

I feel like you can tell when a wrestler is more reliant on script and can't improvise.

But what are the chances that Chyna would continue to do porn after a ceremony? It's a touchy issue and I understand why they would rather not get involved with it now.

You know what seeing Punk on UFC looking way outta his league and sitting next to Shaq looking way outta his element I think trips knows Punk is a bitter asshole about somethings. I will say the healthcare stuff and the wedding day firing was inexcusable and at least HHH seems to take care of his people on NXT.

Vince was calling Punk the day after coming out of the hospital telling him to get back in the ring.

Wasn't that more of Vince and Steph?
 
So I watched some ENDVR on YouTube as well and was pleasantly surprised to see Jimmy Havoc wrestle Jesus and Eddie Davis has grown on me as well.

London Riots do have a badass finisher and they did a great job of playing the big ass kicking hosses in a match with the little flippy guys. Just need to hit a gym I think.

So is Progress the top Indy group in the UK?

wait...THEY WERE MARRIED?!!!

the plot thickens...

Ah wait, my bad. They weren't married, but were seriously dating.

Still. Cheating on your girlfriend with a then-underage Stephanie McMahon...pretty scummy.

I wish they had a regular podcast style program on the network every week. Interview a different active superstar in that fashion.

It would go a long way to building these guys.

This was in 2000-ish?

Steph was like mid-twenties.

I was led to believe they began in the late 90s. Also, jesus, for some reason I thought she was my age. No wonder then. Ok, so she was early 20s.

Shitty Persona music. Not surprised. Lemme guess - you people waited hours on some shitty livestream to get a song? Isn't that how that dumb shit always works? You're working yourself into a work, mark your shoot shooty mark work. HH

It's hard to say. They're definitely one of the top promotions in the UK at present, but are entirely based in London - Insane Championship Wrestling out of Glasgow & Preston City Wrestling draw bigger crowds in their home cities, plus ICW are starting to tour some of the larger cities in England and PCW recently did some big joint shows with ROH. Rev Pro draw well for their London shows and tour about quite a bit, as do Southside. Then there's a bunch of other promotions like Tidal, Fight Club: Pro and IPW:UK who're doing good business too, we're in something of a boom period for UK based indie wrestling.

I'd say PROGRESS & ICW probably have the most buzz about them and have attracted a fair bit of media attention.
 

Aiii

So not worth it

Last time they did this we got the announcement for Persona 5, so no, it wasn't a shitty livestream.

And that song is great dammit, you silly goose you.

Excuse you. I went to sleep and then woke up to watch.

Good time management skills. I almost felt bad for a friend of mine who was staying awake for the whole thing, raging for about 4 hours. But then I remembered he's stupid, and deserves it.

So what was the big announcement on this one?

The only persona that I ALMOST beat was 1 and somehow I lost my progress. I want to get back into the series but man......if a RPG not on the level of Bethesda and Earthbound...I push it to the side.

Geez, I'm only tuning in when it's time for the mystery announcements. He sounds crazy.
 
ehhh I loved P4 but even that was a game that I wished would end by the time I got to the ending.

I'm sure atlas doesn't have the budget of say, square, but I hated that there was no real spectacle or anything to see in any of the dungeons outside of cutscenes. Essentially the opposite of the FnP eye candy that P4 arena is. So I'm not jazzed about P5 just yet.

Catherine is their masterwork, imo~~~

got it but didn't put a dent in it. Thanks for giving me the idea of what game to play during my backlog crusade.

Do you own the DLC? Some of it is REALLY really good. I found NV's writing and characters you interact with as the best part. Really imaginative, clever stuff - and I really REALLY appreciated that all of your skills were viable in some way - you can get some serious advantages by being a super nerd, or a charismatic piece of shit, or even a really agile and perceptive person.

Goddammnnnnnnnn I love New Vegas
