Found a mention of it on today's Observer update:

-- If John Layfield repeatedly responding to Booker T in a stereotypical black guy voice (on Martin Luther King Day, no less) happened with broadcasters in any other genre, would nobody be talking about it the way nobody's talking about what Layfield said last night?

Bobo was right. Jesus fuck. How is this not getting back to Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and the NAACP? Can you help with this, spindashing?

Hi folks, long-time lurker and first (or maybe second) time poster. I spend enough time reading these threads, I figured I might as well actually contribute a little.

I started watching wrestling with my granddad in the early 90's with WCW, and got into WWF as well right after the Austin 3:16 era kicked off. I've been watching WWE on and off for the past few years, and most recently started paying attention again with Wrestlemania 30 (right after which everything seemed to go to hell, of course). I don't know much about wrestling outside of WWE/F, NXT, WCW & ECW, but I'm getting better about that.

Also, mandatory new guy Top 5:

5. Sami Zayn. I know nothing about his El Generico days, but I love his NXT performances. I also appreciate that he's one of the few good guys in wrestling who isn't a cocky jackass, a fiery Cena-type, or "crazy" like Dean Ambrose. He's actually a... Well, a good guy. A nice person who also happens to be a hell of a wrestler. What a concept.

Also, I really like his theme music, and I'm not ashamed to admit that.

4. Sting. Loved original recipe Stinger as a little kid, and Crow Sting and the buildup of him against the nWo was just awesome.

3. Austin. Again, I started watching WWF right when the Stone Cold/ Evil Vince thing started, so Austin's always been a big deal with me.

2. The Rock. The single most charismatic talker I've ever seen in wrestling. Didn't hurt that he was a great wrestler as well.

1. Mick Foley. I first became a fan of Cactus Jack in WCW, and have loved (almost) every time he's appeared on my TV since. Amazing matches, amazing commitment to nearly everything he did, entertaining as hell from almost any aspect.

Oh, and I've owned every Nintendo console since the SNES and love Zelda games. So, yeah... Looks like I'll fit in nicely here.

Welcome, please watch WK9 and Lucha Underground.

What do you think of Batista?

I have a 55". I could play a game on it at 1080p and play it again at 720p and I wouldn't be able to say that it made an important difference with a straight face. It is a negligible, very ethereal difference, which is why sites "breaking news" about a game being 720p have magnified screenshots with pixels outlined to show how they figured it out. That's not indicative of refined preferences, it's a comedy routine.

When the pixels are moving, it just doesn't matter if there's one brown one and one white one, or just one tan one in the same one millimeter spot on the screen. It is literally a millimeter, and it's literally just twice the number of pixels-- viewed from a few feet away. You have to con yourself into thinking it's materially better.

It's a much more concrete difference to have 60Hz instead of 30Hz.

What you see and notice and what some other people see and notice could be two entirely different things. Just because the difference is negligible to you doesn't mean it is to someone else. All about perspective, man.

Yeah, I'm coming off an aging gaming PC I built 5 years ago. It's a power hog and has gotten extremely noisy in it's age. It's nearing death and it's time to either upgrade or replace....I'm ready to replace it with something smaller.

My other option is one of the new Dell XPS 13 laptops.

Yeah, same. Noisy PC and an even noisier laptop. I realized I don't really need a laptop so why bother. The Mac Mini is great so far, though I've been using MacBook's for a while, Mac OS X is great, but takes some getting used to. Get a trackpad though, gestures on Mac are brilliant, nothing on Windows can compare.
