Did we talk about this?

"It wasn’t a good night for Raw last night, as viewership hit a near-record low and the 18 – 49 rating fell as well. The episode averaged 3.463 million viewers and a 1.11 demo rating, down 6% and 8% from last week’s 3.671 million and 1.21 demo rating. The viewership is the second-lowest rating for a non-holiday episode, ahead of only the December 3rd, 2012 episode. Meanwhile, the demo was the lowest since the May 4th episode drew a 1.1.

The show ranked third among cable shows for the night, behind Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta (2.966 million, 1.56 demo rating) and Discovery Channel’s Street Outlaws (2.676 million, 1.14 demo rating). The hourly numbers are below:

8 PM: 3.362 million (1.08 demo rating)
9 PM: 3.544 million (1.14 demo rating)
10 PM: 3.482 million (1.10 demo rating)"

I come to the wrestling thread to find out that Connor vs Aldo is no more.

What a bummer. I was so hyped for that. Ugh.

Ibushi was just on Sasuke (Ninja Warrior) - he would've completed the course, but his time ran out just as he was taking the very last obstacle. Then, in an interview backstage, he apparently almost killed himself by trying to flip off of a wall.

Forgot that was happening today. Is there footage anywhere?

Edit: Found parts of the show on Youtube already but yet to see Ibushi's run.

 

[UrbanDandy]

Lana and Rusev are together in real life, and here they are forced to make out with other people. Not yet for Rusev, but I imagine Vince is going there.

I read somewhere that Vince knew that Rusev didn't like the angle, but never spoke out against Lana doing it.

 

[Sephzilla]

What's up with this Female Link stuff? Why is this a thing?

Because someone thought girls cosplaying Link looked cuter and forgot that franchise already has a prominent female character who's name is in the name of the game.

 

[FallingEdge]

HOLY SHIT PWG DROPPING BOMBS

RICOCHET VS TOZAWA

ANGLEICO AND JACK EVENS VS THE YOUNG BUCKS

HOKY FUCKING SHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

ALSO they posted a video of Mount Rushmore 2.0 forming

https://youtu.be/yPyJlKEQn9E

man, this is amazing, they are too good.

TOO GOOD.

 

[BronsonLee]

That Link thread in gamingside is so damn dumb

 

[Gonzalez]

What's up with this Female Link stuff? Why is this a thing?

Blame that Japanese Zelda commercial.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

The professor himself Mike Tenay is on the ross report this week

Wonder how that is. I still like Tenay, I just feel like he was wasted in TNA to a huge degree. I mean, wasn't everyone? But Tenay brought SO much to WCW when he showed up. That was a perfect fit.

 

[Heroman]

What's up with this Female Link stuff? Why is this a thing?

People thought link look like a girl in Zelda u trailer, he wasnt but people still fight for some reason.

 

[jred2k]

NJ's tag divisions are in such a sad state. How many times have we seen some variation of YBs/reDRagon/RPGVice this year alone? And the less said about the three month feud over Maria the better.

I'm starting to really like Miz, guys. Seems like a fun guy to joke about with.

Hmm soon it will be TNA

But seriously, they really need to find some way to fix this before erosion has completely taken over

Wrassle bros, we're two months away from Metal Gear Solid V. Who's excited?!

The stuff he was doing with mizdow was amazing, to bad wwe fucked it up

It going to be the best metal gear game.

No need to fix it, it's a shift in ways people consume media. WWE is fine.

[RP912]

Meh :/....MGS ran it's course at 4. Honestly, it should have ended at Peace Walker. What more can you do to that batshit insane series?

 

[Sephzilla]

I'll end up getting MGSV because it looks neat. But I honestly don't give many shits about Naked Snake / Big Boss and I'd much rather have Solid Snake adventures or a Metal Gear Rising sequel.

 

[RP912]

I want a spinoff series of Akiba. A whole game with him working on the computer, eating eggs, and using codex.

 

[Sephzilla]

Johnny Akiba Sazaki is quietly one of the most badass people in Metal Gear Solid 4. I would fully support a Metal Gear Akiba spinoff.

Indeed friend....he's top five on the list.

 

[Zach]

MGS 1: Solid foundation for the Solid series.
MGS 2: Mind-blowingly awesome.
MGS 3: Brilliant.
MGS 4: Awesome at release; less so in hindsight.
MGS PW: Cool for a portable game.
MGS V: ???

I'm hoping that V is a tremendous swan song. I bet it will be. Cannot wait.

Will Sunny be making the eggs?

I like you guys, I really do, but you're both absolutely fucking terrible for even pretending to like that piece of shit.

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

I loaded up ground zeroes for the first time yesterday.

read the backstory, peace walker sounds dumb as fuck. Robot Boss? fuck that.

there's some base building shit? Great, can't wait to distract myself doing "kill randomly generated enemy officer to get better pokemon at your base missions". Open world games are a cancer

David Hayter's a fuckin' ham but the over the top acting gave the game a good identity, now it just sounds like the bland voice acting that's in everything else. Oh boy, skull fist, so scary.

Kojima's a visionary and created two of the greatest games of all time with MGS1 and MGS2, I'm glad he's getting to realize whatever vision he wants with big boss and shit but his lusting for Hollywood is starting to override his more creative designs. I mean, it already did in MGS4.

I really don't think MGS5 will be worse than 4. 4 was hot garbage for children.

Ofcourse...got to test out the new Yolk engine.

Yeah, it was dumb.

Still... shut up.

I'm perusing the Metal Gear Solid 4 OT because I'm a nerd

Spoiler

("Did you say 'nerd'?")

, and it's kinda funny. People are flipping their lids, head over heels for this thang.

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

heh I played it on launch weekend and got totally swept up in the mania and emotion of it all....


sadly, I had to come to my senses at some point and realize that as cool as Solid Snake and Revolver Ocelot fighting in their Megazords is...

Also keep in mind this was a Sony exclusive, and GAF was high as fuck off of Killzone 2 vids. Pretty crazy time.

If only new japan bought a promotion with some awesome tag teams in it. IF ONLY

 

[Zach]

I still find that there's a lot of cool stuff in Metal Gear Solid 4, but the story is pretty much straight goofy schlock.

Spoiler

I still love the insane ending with Big Boss.

 

[spindashing]

Akiba supporters?

You are gentlemen.

 

[avengers23]

Friends, I played Metal Gear Solid 3 HD on my Vita recently.

Friends, holding a button and releasing it to fire a gun is fucking stupid.

Friends, I have deleted Metal Gear Solid 3 HD from my Vita and am playing Her Story on my phone and Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD on my Vita instead.

There's a distinct lack of Raw, SmackDown, NXT, TNA, and ROH on this list.

Vita's controls are absolutely terrible for 3 and 2 on Viter. Just total dogshit. Bums me out.

Didn't know Her Story came out on iOS or Android. Probably picking that up this week. It looks fascinating.

 

[Zach]

Stranger's Wrath was a pretty good time. Recently played through New 'n' Tasty, too, and that was quite good.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Do TV awards/people even consider WWE's product a TV show?

Wrassle bros, we're two months away from Mr. Luchador's Birthday. Who's excited?!

So kind!

 

[Ultratech]

That Link thread in gamingside is so damn dumb

Yeah, I saw that last night...then promptly closed the tab.

Kinda silly.

Wrassle bros, we're two months away from Metal Gear Solid V. Who's excited?!

Assuming it's everything and more that they've been showing off, it should be awesome.

I still need to play Peace Walker though.
I got the MGS HD Collection from a friend, so I'll prolly start on it soon.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

That Link thread is the perfect regards to how I'm tired of seemingly everything being made into a Political/Social Commentary in videogames.

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

Isn't Her Story that game that you just type keywords in and watch things happen?

I only need to two keywords for an investigation, friend. ZOOM and ENHANCE

 

[Zach]

So kind!

You know you're my favorite, Mr. Luchador.

[Mr. Luchador]

I hope that's real.

it is a wanna be FMV Sega CD game from the 90s.

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

hmm. interested.

I had this dracula FMV game on sega cd that was fuckin' dope.

 

[avengers23]

Do TV awards/people even consider WWE's product a TV show?

WWE's tried.

 

[avengers23]

it is a wanna be FMV Sega CD game from the 90s.

It's those interview segments from True Detective season 1 as a game, only with a woman instead of a man and without the nihilistic pessimism.
