I like everything that's happening in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpBWudYieCM

Edit: Oh man, when the guys did their a cappella take on the 3DS Puzzle Swap music.

Ryan Davis: "I paid like $200 on a fucking thing and my favorite part of the thing is like a 45 second music loop." Still baffling that the Switch doesn't have a eshop music.

I'm going back and forth with myself if I should watch the F&F films without the duders first since I've only seen #2.

I'm watching them for the first time (except 2) with the commentary, and it's been a great time so far.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Man, what kind of hell are you in when you've watched none of the FF movies except 2?

 

[Zaph]

Am I correct in thinking the PAX wrestling panel is in 4 hours time, and the GB panel in 9?

I think I watched all of them except 2, I was so confused as to who Roman or Tej were.

They need to reword that.

It isn't the video game that's bad.

PAXAMANIA III: The Unwatched

I think I watched the first one for 10 min or so? It seems more entertaining to be a participate than to watch it.

 

[petethepanda]

Excited for Paxamania. It's always been a fun, dumb thing, but they've really been stepping it up recently.

The awesome music and visuals in the few moments leading up to a blood moon in BotW really makes me wish they went for "creepy" more often. (I'm almost scared for my play activity to start showing hours for Zelda, I can't imagine how much I've played so far, before even getting one of the four divine beasts.)

 

[mnz]

Wasn't the last PAXAMANIA kind of unwatchable? Mostly because of the audio and camera work.

But now they have 2 hours instead of one! And Drew is freelance.

Any word on bar hopping or an after party tonight?

The only thing I can guarantee about this years Paxamania is that it will be better than Wrestlemania.

why is the main event not a triple threat

you'd think that Harper's strong showings leading up to this were to establish him as a dark horse

 

[Hasney]

And now he has nothing. Hell, I'd rather see Harper V AJ again than AJ V Shane which seems to be where they're going.

 

[Rainmaker]

you would think Orton vs Styles would've been a cool first-time match for Mania but here we are with that match wasted on a Smackdown and yeah, Harper should've definitely been added to the WM match. Dude is legit

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

I just found out Paxamania is today by reading this page.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

I'm guessing there will be a thread in a couple of hours.

 

[Strax]

Man, what kind of hell are you in when you've watched none of the FF movies except 2?

I was dragged to the movies for the 2nd film and while I enjoyed it I have zero interest in watching the rest of them expect for GB talking over them.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

The entire PPV feels like a fuck-you to fans and talent alike.

AJ Styles has been easily the best talent they have had for over a year now, and he gets the gimmick Shane match as a thank you. New Day have carried the entire tag team division on their backs for an unreasonably long amount of time, and they don't even get a spot on the card. Big Show is in the best shape of his career and has actually had a decent match recently, and he's going to get to fight Shaq if he's lucky. Braun Strowman is maybe the best brand-split success story in the entire company, and he gets predictably fed to Roman Reigns and will likely only have an appearance in the Andre thing (which he'll likely win, to be fair). I could keep going, but it's amazing how they seem to have fucked up every portion of the show in some way.

 

[Liquid Shake]

The worst thing is Goldberg vs Lesnar is closing the show, the true main event.

As for Paxamania, it looks like The Wolf is getting Strowmanned on the card.

 

[Ashby]

Which Brad stream should I watch first? The solo Brad or the Rorie Brad?

It's going to be so upsetting if/when this happens since the entire main story of Smackdown for an entire month leading into Mania is how SD guys are going to main event.

Probably gonna get in trouble for too much wrestling talk but yeah this wouldn't be the first time the Rumble winner wasn't in the main event. In their weird world, "main event" means one of the key matches on the card, not the last match. It's lame.

 

[ElectronicOldMen]

The solo Brad stream is fun and chill and I liked it very much indeed

Don't forget they threw away Charlotte's PPV streak a month before Mania too!

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Don't forget they threw away Charlotte's PPV streak a month before Mania too!

That streak never actually meant anything in the first place. Of course, it's infuriating that they never let it mean anything, but that's another story.

 

[Rainmaker]

Totally agree it never meant anything (and was actually pretty stupid) but to just throw away something they built like that was dumb.

 

[Meguro]

Everytime people talk about wrestling I can't help but think that everyone watching it hates it and themselves.

 

[LiK]

Everytime people talk about wrestling I can't help but think that everyone watching it hates it and themselves.

Considering that Alex and Dan don't even wanna do a Powerbombcast because of how bad it's been is quite revealing.

 

[Hasney]

Everytime people talk about wrestling I can't help but think that everyone watching it hates it and themselves.

Smackdowns really fun right now, but as Raw is the main show, things get bad all over when they build to the combined PPVs like Mania.

 

[Liquid Shake]

You know, they should do a Wrestlemania & 40s. It's 6 hours long, but whatever.

 

[funkystudent]

I am weak so Ill watch wrestlemania but even now my wrasslin' watching is minimal and basically checking youtube some weeks and if anything else blows up on twitter ill check that too.


So far I must say its totally a good way to watch wrestling. I am maybe watching 15 minutes of it a week and feel like I am missing out on nothing.

 

[MG310]

Killed Bayley in the process too.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Man, what kind of hell are you in when you've watched none of the FF movies except 2?

The one where 2 was constantly on TBS.

 

[Nif]

This just autoplayed for me on youtube. I missed it back when too.

[Hasney]

I was thinking fights and 40s where Alex and Dan watch a good old event and explain what's going on to Vinny.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

oh man, I need Alex and Dan to take Vinny on the same journey through Russo-era WCW that I'm on right now

 

[Liquid Shake]

That's a great idea! So many options, from hilariously bad WCW PPVs to historically significant stuff like Survivor Series 1997.

 

[Fried Food]

got a pizza coming, drinking beer, getting ready for PAXAMANIA 2 HOURS BABY!

 

[Tubobutts]

You're going to need more than beer.

 

[Hasney]

Yo, we talking Paxamania 3 here or getting a thread up?

oh man, I need Alex and Dan to take Vinny on the same journey through Russo-era WCW that I'm on right now

I watched every Nitro and PPV at one (unemployed) point in my life. Good luck.

 

[Fried Food]

You're going to need more than beer.

I got diet coke and water as well

And a York® Peppermint Patty

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Is everyone ready for another shit show.

 

[Fried Food]

hopefully there is minimal video game playing and maximum carnival barking

 

[dh4niel]

If Greg Miller is there I might not watch. The cringe is too much.
