How is that percentage derived, especially the precise maximum of 83%? Please, show me your working.

The product would be 50% better if they just changed what the commentary said, that's the minimum that needs to be done. Tack on another 11% for each member of the announce team they swap out. Each member of the team is only worth 11% by themselves because they are ultimately interchangeable and nobody gives a fuck if some other jabroni is spouting out the same drivel. But, take all three announce team members out, change the way the team announces and you have a drastic 83% improvement in the current product.

The math is good, I had Scott Steiner check it.

 

[Frecklestein]

lol, petty as fuck

It's petty, but you'd think Dolph would be a bit wiser to this sort of thing with how much he's been punished over the years

Yeah but if you remove just one of the announcers, the tolerability of the other two increase, thus improving their worth and taking it up to about 94% total. But then you put Booker T into the mix which increases it further past the 100% limit. But then you realize that it's not a permanent fixture, so your enjoyment of the announce team is only temporary which sets it back to the 83% we started with.

I had Petey Williams check it.

Well you had it checked by a better man than I, so I don't feel the need to analyse this further. Good day to you, sir.

You're not surprised, are you? Midcard titles are literal anchors for most people in this company.
A toast to Barrett jobbing endlessly in 2015. Don't worry. He's used to bad news.

You should know by now that having dreams and favorites in the WWE is wrong and vile. This company isn't for you. You should be entertained by Barrett losing to Hunico.

They know EXACTLY what they're fucking doing. They're ensuring NOBODY gets over except their chosen ones.
NOBODY! JUST WHO THEY WANT YOU TO FUCKING BUY MERCH FOR! GO BUY SOME OF THIS SHIT ALREADY! BUY IT! AND PAY US $9.99 A MONTH ALREADY!

(Anyone want to critique this shirt? It's above blue-dot tier but I'm not sure any guy would actually want it. Just kids and maybe some girls.)

Wow. He's already getting the kid friendly shirts...Next Cena for sure. Fuck this.

James Bond: FAVE FIVES



The categories are:

Some of my choices might surprise you. Some might not. Music was especially tough to narrow down, as what movie would get into the 5th spot for favorite movies. Also hard was top villains because really, most of the villains actually suck. Same for the women. The hottest women in Bond movies are usually locals on location. It has video, music, songs, and gifs. I'm now done with the Bond series. I've watched them all over the past month. Now I'm lost.

 

[Plywood]

WWE is mad at Dolph for booking this without asking permission:

So that's part of the reason they took the title off of him, besides for the storyline firing according to Bryan Alvarez.

Something something easier to ask forgiveness than permission

edit: fuck you hasney!

Can't argue much of that, really. Maybe some placement swaps within some of the topics, but otherwise it's pretty solid. Other than the fact that Casino Royale's theme didn't even make the top 5? It's SO fucking hype.

YOU KNOW MY NAAAAAAAAMEEEE~!

The OPENING is so damn stylish and slick, I love it

Fuck I need to go watch Casino Royale again.

 

[The Shapesmith]

So after rewatching Wrestle Kingdom for the 2nd time I can honestly say I am in love with the NJPW product and it's rekindled my interest in all things puroresu. That being said for those of you into that sorta thing what would you say the best shows in Japan were last year? Planning on dropping some money and want a little bit of everything so AJPW, NOAH, Dragon Gate, DDT, Stardom, random fun indy recommendations are appreciated and I think I'm gonna get NJPW World because I wanna watch the G1 from 2014. Anyway thanks all

It's like Punk said; it's better to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission.

Had Dolph asked for permission, the WWE would have called ahead to the Improv Comedy club he had booked and made arrangements to replace Ziggles with Randy Orton who would do improv comedy in his place.

Man, a live demo of the process of sitting into a bag. Mesmerising.

 

[strobogo]

Dolph doing stand up, written or improved, sounds brutal. I imagine a lot of hand movements, that weird earnest voice he's been doing lately, nods, tight jeans with a blazer and tank top, perhaps with a hipster toboggan and white belt. I feel like he'd come off more as a sleazy self help guru type than a comedian.

Improv comedy would mean Randy's jokes would have to come out of nowhere.

Bravo for your sterling work on this, Stro. 100% agreement with the henchmen - including Wint & Kidd.

If Dalton only had been in better films... He was supposedly Ian Fleming's vision of how Bond should be.

Reminds me that I need to watch Skyfall again - it obviously didn't leave the best impression on me. CR is awesome.

Die Hard next?

You'll love 5, I promise...

Both me and Stro saw all the Die Hard movies recently (not together, but in close enough time frames). Don't you dare try and BS people by getting them to watch 5.

 

[Mahonay]

I refuse to watch the 5th Die Hard movie, just like I refuse to watch the 4th Indiana Jones movie.

 

[Professor Beef]

I refuse to watch the 5th Die Hard movie, just like I refuse to watch the 4th Indiana Jones movie.

At least the 4th Indy movie resembled an Indy movie somewhat. Literally the only thing in the 5th Die Hard movie that resembles anything else in the series is that Bruce Willis is playing a guy named John McClane.

 

[Browny]

DH 5 and Indy 4 are both cinematic atrocities.

Indy 4 should have been made back in 92/93, and should have been The Fate Of Atlantis.

Bruce Willis should have shut the fuck up and swam in his pool of fat cash.

But still, I'd be interested in a critique...

 

[British Monsoon]

Die Hard 1-3 are Die Hard movies because no one wants John's help, he's not supposed to be there and, in spite of that, he saves the goddamn day. Die Hard 4 isn't a Die Hard film because the authorities actually want McClane's help. That's not how it works, you Hollywood fucks! Die Hard 5 isn't a Die Hard film either, it's just a piece of shit and everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves.

Die Hard 4 was self-indulgent in a really fun way.

 

[Data West]

I am of the opinion that you can stop watching Die Hard after the first one. Even if the sequels aren't bad, they're not as good so it's minimal gain. Same rules for Lethal Weapon.

DH4 was still good fun, but nowhere near 1 or 3. I'd say it's nearly as good as 2. DH4 has more memorable scenes, but DH2 had a better plot.

Two other franchises were completely ruined for me as a kid, which makes me really hesitant to even attempt watching either Die Hard 5 or Indiana Jones 4.

- I saw Jurassic Park 2: Lost World for my 11th birthday in the theater with my friends, the sequel to my then favorite movie. The only enjoyment I got was laughing at how fucking stupid the gymnastic pole moves Vs. Raptors scene was. Was pissed I spent my birthday on that.

- I saw Star Wars: Episode 1 the first week it was in theaters when I was 13. I literally felt my childhood memories being slowly and mercilessly crushed as I sat through that movie. I remember walking away from that movie feeling so incredibly upset. I was no longer a boy. I became a man that day.


Today...I pay close attention to reviews before I see a movie. Also fuck shitty cash-ins to storied movie franchises.
