Unpopular opinion time...

Okay, this is only my second exposure to the young bucks but they are cheesy as fuck. Already has the spot monkey ability of a typical ROH Roster member. Davey Richards, AR Fox, the bucks ...take your pick, friends. I know they have a lot of fans on here, but just based on two instant reactions, they don't seem all that special as a character. The Usos on the other hand, is the real deal.

Aside from the Usos comment, this isn't wrong
 
My only real Young Bucks exposure has been NJPW and I like them, but a big part of that is the fact that their matches are the only matches like that on the card. When you watch the Jr. tag matches you know you're gonna get all that indy flippy shit and then the rest of the card is going to be nothing like that. An entire card filled with matches like that would be unwatchable, but I don't mind it in small doses.

Yup straight berried lol. I'm actually more interested in how the game does now than before though with the shit-tastic reception from the gaming press. I don't see this game bucking the trend but there is usually a correlation between how high a game scores and its sales. I'd like to see if this game does sell pretty well even if the critical reception is putrid like a Transformers movie or if it follows the regular pattern of being discounted two weeks now.

I would bet on the heavy discount.

I think it will sell fine, this is the time of year exclusives do pretty well.

Nearly every exclusive released in the holiday season last year seemed to kind of underperform (MCC, Sunset, Driveclub, LBP3, Bayo2 olol). I think the feb-may window may start being the new hotbed.

This is a lie.

It doesn't take a second exposure to reach those conclusions.

I think Charlotte has a lot of potential and is obviously a fast learner, but of the four women in the match at Takeover Rival she stood out as the greenest of the bunch. Not so much in terms of her athletic ability, but rather how she fit into the match. Bayley was better in that regard, but she does have a lot more experience, and generally managed the time she wasn't in the ring better than Charlotte did, while Charlotte was obviously spot-watching on a couple of occasions, which is a real minor nitpick but one that bugs me nonetheless. Sasha & Becky controlled things well and dictated the pace, as befits the heels. Both impressed, but there's a lot of things about Sasha's in-ring work that makes her really stand out to me - she knows how to wrench in a headlock and does it well and, for a character that is in no way a striker, her strikes look pretty convincing. Consider me a fan.

I knew you were one of the good ones. Sasha has ridiculous potential. Charlotte, while still green (because seriously she has come a long way in a very short time) has insane potential as well. The Women's division holds a lot of promise. If NXT starts bringing more people DOWN to NXT to showcase what they can do but don't get time to, we might start seeing a serious shift. Maybe. But most people will just say "yeah right when Vince dies we will" yet it was Vince bringing in Aja Kong, etc.

Not sure what people expected.
 
I wonder where the Ivelisse/Son of Havoc storyline is heading. Is she going to abandon him and get with Angelico and SoH turns face? Will the risk of losing her just make him take shit more seriously and he starts winning?
 
Divas on the main roster face one huge hurdle: Total Divas.

The Divas receive a full hours worth of time on their own reality show on E! that clearly supercedes their purpose on RAW. If anything, RAW is a vehicle for the Divas to promote and generate storylines for the purposes of Total Divas.

Unless WWE suddenly changes course, the NXT gals aren't stepping up to the main roster without having to factor into that show, that show's storylines, and that show's character hierarchy, first and foremost.

I think Banks would do very well. Charlotte... hm.

Anyone who makes it to Total Divas makes it, except for Jojo, who is a waste of space and one of the worst ring announcers on the planet.

At the very least, they gain exposure from it and a character people can potentially connect to. Even the men on that show.

Summer Rae didn't though, oddly enough.
 
Summer Rae should base her character off "Sweet Dee" Reynolds, she has the look

She's an angel and I won't tolerate any kind of perceived slight against her.

In fact, friends. Total Diva's has become one of my new favorite shows as of late. Finding myself really looking forward to it each week.

It's really good and entertaining. I really want to review and gif the series.

Man that would be awesome, you totally should if you get the spare time man.

Nattie and John come off extremely weird, I really like Rosa for some reason... just wanna protect her and maybe bang her but in a nice gentlemanly way she seems so sweet. Also Summer really doesn't deserve the shit she gets imo.

Do it Sunny!

It's over-the-top, TV-14, it's exciting and full of action.

It's fun.

I mean, they devoted an entire episode on Nikke being angry at Brie for not being on birth control because her and Bryan are anti-vac hippies and as such threatening her merchandising income. What is not to love?
 
I forgot to say, Nikki comes off well. Seems like a cool lady to me.

Bree irritates the shit outta me, comes off as kinda selfish. I'm also not entirely convinced she'll stick this save the planet farm life either.

There are a RIDICULOUS amount of giffable moments in the show too. Just non-stop.

Yeah!

I'd do it if I had the know how.

Has she been getting consistent screentime? I remember her showing up in this past week's episode but I don't remember the one prior.
Click to expand...
Actually I don't think so regarding consistent screentime, she just tends to turn up on the odd episode of Raw/Smackdown and maybe Main Event/Superstars which reminds me that she's actually still employed.
And then she jobs, just made me wonder what her NXT days were like assuming she did indeed have NXT days and that's not just my imagination running wild.

No, but that's never stopped anyone :(

Used to be the standard WWE diva progression, from nothing to something.

In my limited exposure to her character, no. Not feeling her. Like I said though, I really enjoyed her match with Charlotte, so in-ring she seems very put together.

You will.

Until then you're no longer allowed to sit next to me on the bench at lunch. Other parts you typed are correct though, so I won't throw too much shade at you while I wait for you to come to your senses.

Not me. I love how fucking insane shit is. Like the episode where Cameron loses Natalya's cat when she threw a house party w/o Natalya around at her house? Amazing seeing her and Vinny run around looking for the little guy.

Brie has no filter. She says the worst things to Nikki all the time, who seems genuinely sweet. Pre watching Total Divas I thought Nikki was the worse of the two, but she seems the better wrestler now, and seems way more human.

I'm watching season 2 on the network, but at this point I'm not surprised at all when she says something like 'Maybe John will propose to you?'. When we all know he won't, and we all know that she's just getting her sister's hopes up unnecessarily.

I can't wait for Foxy in season 3 though. She's similarly terrible in always saying the worst possible thing, but at least she does it with a smirk on her face. She's hilarious.

I am deeply concerned about the lack of Vinny in the last few seasons though. This show should be build around Vinny most of all.

That said, I'm really liking Eva Marie's Jonathan too, but Vinny certainly trumps him. Next ep is going to be about Eva Marie's dad again, love when they have her family on there, they are batshit insane, the lot of 'em.
 
Jonathan's a shitlord. Hate that dude.

I'm with Eva Marie's family.

Last one I saw had Natalya trying to get into a car accident because she thought she had drugs in her system and had to take a mandatory drug test. A lot of the funny moments involve Natalya to be honest, she's so weird.

Exactly how I felt and now feel going into this show.

I think I'm only on Season 1? maybe two I dunno. Just watched the one where Nikki was upset about John's sex scene.

She is a world-class actress and is playing her part wonderfully.

Did you miss his redemption story? He showed he was a great and caring husband last year and won the approval of the family.

The time he made her go to the hospital? Not good enough!

I'm really conflicted on this actually. She's either the greatest actress or the absolute worst actress and all of this funny stuff is just a result of her terrible acting. I can't really put my finger on which is which. Sometimes, like when Summer Rae slapped her nose so hard it broke, I'm convinced it's great acting. But then whenever she is pretending like her and TJ have broke up I'm convinced she's the worst actress in the world.

Then again, she's been with TJ since she was a kid, she probably doesn't have any reference point to having your heart broken by a lover.

Pft, he did it again this year. He'll win you over yet, I'm sure.
 
Bloodborne will be good right guys?

right?

guys?

considering I seem to be the only person on earth who enjoyed Dark Souls 2 almost as much as Dark Souls 1, I guess i'll be happy
