Gillberg?
Any time they have DDP at a beach or doing the spring break shit it's just creepy as fuck
also I was watching Greed 2001 and holy fuck I forgot how ugly the cruiserweight tag titles was
Why were you watching WCW 2000?

They look like generic semi-counterfeit wrestling belts that you'd get from Mexico or something.

Is that big Val?

Still better than the spinner belt.
After a long weekend camping for my birthday (34!) I sat down to watch the PPV last night.
I tapped out somewhere around the divas match. So I've seen Owens vs Cena II this morning and I think it was great. Owens is still Cena's equal and the attack at the end pushes him more into heel territory.
I look forward to the conclusion of the trilogy.

Nikki had more tag matches than title defenses.
#givedivasachance started with fans being upset by the treatment of women as a show and from a financial perspective and then after the Bellas got on the air nobody gave a shit.

I liked the Owens-Cena match. The irony of it was that Cena's "Never Give Up" catchphrase was that Owens never gave up, kicking out at 2 more than Cena (I think), thus making John frustrated.

Yes it is.
Yeah, that and Owens pushed John to do things he has never done before, which is something usually reserved for someone like The Rock or Brock Lesnar.
They gave Cena the win while keeping Owens strong, and on the level of some of his biggest opponents.
Still think Owens needs to win the feud in the end, though. It's time to pass the torch, John. You're long overdue for it.
Definitely, but it feels like they're building to that. They did more work to put Owens on Cena's level in the ring than they have with a lot of people.
I think they're setting up Owens taking the US Title from Cena. I doubt Owens keeps NXT title beyond July 4th, and at this point I'd like The Authority to step in and tell Cena that Owens has earned a US Title shot. Owens losing both the NXT Title and not getting the US Title within a month would be devastating for his momentum

I feel like Ambrose could have done a better tribute to Dusty by just cutting a really good Dean Ambrose promo instead of a bad, kinda nonsensical Dusty promo. (Walking to work on a technicality? What? Not exactly pop replaced by a computer.)
Nah there were rumors they were working on a new Cena us belt to sell to kids.
Cena ain't losing that title to anyone.
TIME TO SHOOT - The Last Guardian will be one of the most disappointing games in the last decade if it ever comes out
I don't think he holds that US Title past SummerSlam. He needs to tie Flair yet, after all. Shaemus is going to cash in at some point, win the belt, and Cena will trot out saying Shaemus didn't earn it.

Cena Style is a slower ROH style, where there's at least pinfalls before popping up to land another haymaker. Owens has the ROH style.
The style of match has been totally unsurprising and it's been pretty damn good if you tell yourself "I'm getting a Cena-ROH match". Thankfully not every match is this sort of extreme so it's been good.

Cena needs to stop using the stunner. It never hits and the guy selling it looks like an idiot.
Even the commentary has no idea if he hit it or not

The hype is gone.... Until it resurfaces tonight and blows us away.
Looks great.
EDIT - Also, I'm emotionally unbalanced right now. Those FF7 Remake rumors went straight to the heart.
I was honestly perfectly okay with him winning. Shaemus was literally the last person I wanted to win that match, at least Kane winning would give us an interesting dynamic in The Authority angle. Now Roman's stuck in the Brayverse
Those World Championship levels had me wondering what is real life anymore. All of my childhood knowledge of the rules of Mario games were torn up and thrown out the window.

In any case that was the most limp dick Money in the Bank match I've ever seen, devoid of decent structure, any interesting spots and an anticlimactic finish won by the guy that rakes in the most indifference of the participants.
Between that and the Elimination Chamber WWE has seemingly lost the ability to pull off these multi man matches.

I think the enjoyment of the Money In The Bank match has worn it's welcome. Sure, it can be a fun clusterfuck of a match, but we've also seen that it can be by-the-numbers boring....and the wrong guy winning it can ruin the rest of the match.
I like the idea of having a money in the bank gimmick though that keeps champions at the alert, but they need to change the money in the bank match type somehow. I'd say make a tournament that runs all summer and culminates at SS, but WWE is against tournaments.....so time to bring back the Armageddon Hell In A Cell?

They need to move MITB back to WrestleMania. It doesn't work as its own PPV, especially when it's not the main event of the PPV that shares the same name.
I'd legitimately consider taking a week off for an FF7 remake

Final Fantasy 7 has as much moving parts as The Witcher 3!
As someone who saw the FF7 PS3 Tech demo live, I've stopped caring about a FF7 remake a long time ago. I don't want more fucking remakes.
Only way Cena gets that win is at mania.

I feel like the MitB finally reached its logical conclusion with a Wrestlemania cash in, they've pretty much done all the interesting things they can with the concept at this point.
I'd just drop the whole thing entirely for a while if I'm honest, it doesn't help that most reigns gained from a cash in are among the weakest of the modern era.

Nah, that's going to be saved for when Cena breaks the record
This too.
And honestly, why the fuck wasn't Shaemus cashing in last night when Dean and Ambrose were basically killing themselves?
They missed a golden opportunity with Kofi. Freebird rules cashin would have been great. Each member could sabotage each others attempts at cashing it in.
Sounds like a perfectly fine reason to kill it off at its lowest
Diablo 3 launched the day I graduated law school. Two friends took a week vacation from work and a third joined us to play a game we had waited 11 years for. We had annual four man, hardcore mode, untwinked runs in Diablo 2. A week holed up in an apartment in NYC playing D3 at launch 18 hours a day.
The best part of being an adult is deciding to be an irresponsible kid.
I would give an FF7 remake similar treatment given how long I've waited.
