What makes him not a musician?
Fair enough. The church of Yeezus can be annoying at times. Besides that, I appreciate dudes music even though I prefer his older soulful work better...

The themes in the upcoming FF7 Remake will be remade by Kanye. :ahh:

It's not even about the music. You don't browse the OT and see multiple topics each year because Thom York's done something wild & outlandish/mildly offensive. I don't inadvertently catch gossip about Thom's crazy antics via overhead snatches of conversation, magazines front pages glimpsed out the corner of my eye or, hell, the nightly fucking news. That's what unavoidable celebrity is, you learn so much about the fucker without even trying. Useless, petty, meaningless information about a guy I couldn't give two shits about.
But that's with everything right? Die-hards always give a bad name 
I'm really curious to see how the new album shapes up. I think "All Day" is alright, but "Only One" and "Four,Five,Seconds(?)" ended up growing on me a lot more than anything on Yeezus so here's hoping for more soul less anti corporation
Eh, no ones going to care if Thom is talking about the environment or Occupy Wallstreet versus Kanye being aggressive with paparazzi or something lol. It's about scapegoats I guess. No one gave Thom Yorke shit when he was calling out Spotify in 2013, but Taylor Swift is a hot target right.

I too dislike silly celebrity-focused posts in OT, etc. but you can't blame Kanye West for the People Magazine world we live in these days. He's just doing what he thinks he has to do to be the greatest musician of our time. He didn't create this world. He's just a product of the times.

I'd like to see this thread if that were to occur (Sheamus cashing in on Brock to win the belt). Haha...
I can see it happening.
Brock had the title, they may not want to give it to him again so soon. So Sheamus wins it, holds it for a few months while the main event is filled with filler, then WWE takes the title off him later in the year to prepare for whatever their Wrestlemania plans are.
I'd rather Reigns just takes the title though, and holds it from Summerslam to Wrestlemania 32. It'd give me a reason to catch the PPVs. Flop Lesnar can win the Rumble, and we can get the rematch where ONE MAN, ALONE, finally conquers the beast.
Storytelling. Classic.
As far as the OT stuff with artists doing silly and douchey shit, Kanye is a easy target no lie...but you can't have that be a judge on his overall music. If you don't like hip hop that's cool, if you don't like his production that's fine, but please don't single him out just because he doesn't play a guitar or etc when you don't know what goes on in his head during the makings of his albums.
For instance, his album Late Registration was heavily influence by the sounds of the UK. When he went overseas, he was inspired by the sounds of their music which you can tell throughout the album. Also, his production made an impact on the hip hop genre for a whole decade.
He even did a live orchestral album. Dude is an musician in my eye, too bad folks still on that same bullshit in 2015 music wise.

Being Dean's best buddy+D-Bry leaving+him getting better at promos and in ring+idiot fans thinking he has earned his due in the past few months have really rehabilitated Medium Sexy Roman Reigns...but not enough to go over clean at SS.
He's a great candidate for a heel turn/face of the authority run.

Sheamus gonna get the belt at the same time as his Turtles 2 publicity tour.
Angry Grimace
Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I got a good laugh out of that rumor that Sheamus got the briefcase so he could eat a pin by Rollins at Battleground so Lesnar would continue to not get pinned.

Owens, Neville, Zayn, Itami, Balor
I'm echoing Austin and/or JR here because I usually catch their podcasts, but I think Reigns should have a monster heel run before he can truly be over as a big time babyface. They missed an opportunity having Ambrose beat Rollins in the ladder match with Reigns immediately aligning with The Authority (I mean, if they must exist in the first place, try to make it halfway interesting...) and betraying his bro Ambrose with dat cash-in victory (oh, Reigns would've had to win the ladder match instead of -- haha -- Sheamus).
Anyway, that seems more interesting to me, what with the old Shield guys all gunning for each other or whatever. And people would be encouraged to hate on Reigns for a bit to get it out of their system and then BAM! face turn, <3 <3 <3, etc. etc.

Sheamus just needs to stay healthy so he can knock the house down with Balor.
While I agree with that think of it this way; instead of going over as a big time heel on the second biggest face in the company right now in Dean, or doing a double turn with Rollins, which admittedly might be fun, why not go over on the biggest face in the whole damn company and have him SCREW BROCK WITH THE AUTHORITY.

I feel Reigns needs a big heel run. Most successful and waaaaay over babyfaces previously had a reign of terror as a heel. Most, not all. It goes a long way towards winning the crowd over. It's tough to do babyface actions and win over the crowd, but a flip, a face TURN usually works really well in lieu of babyface actions. After that, it's all gravy.

Wanna bet Aiii?
That'd work.
Exactly.
I only see him winning it as some sort of quick transition, like my aforementioned scenario.

Not at all - I dunno if they were ever actual heels as opposed to tweeners. Also he didn't have much personality then. I would say he needs a solo heel run, or tag team. Too much was spread out before.

Hey Boots, how does your Top Ten Matches of the Year currently feel? What's the split?

Reigns Lesnar Reigns Ambrose Sheamus (then Reigns)
They were 100% stone cold heels from when they took out Ryback all through the WWE's King of Trios phase.

Wonder how many of these lists would have Wyatt a year ago
If only.
But, wouldn't that either cause or have to follow the death of Vince McMahon?
They did CM Punk's bidding until Paul was fired, then they feuded with a rotating cast of the top faces (Kane, Ryback, D-Bry, Cena, Orton) then they did the proto Authority's bidding until finally turning face against the Wyatts.

That SHIELD/Wyatt feud was hot as fuck. They should have saved it for Mania rather than the New Age Outlaw/Kane crap

This being the moment they turned, which YouTube says was March '14.

Wrestlemania 30 was a lot of missed potential. I really wanted Wyatts vs. Shield along with Cena vs. Undertaker, Batista vs. Brock, and Bryan vs. Triple H vs. Orton. That's what you call a great card.
What we got wasn't bad either, but they could've made it better.

Crotch chop gesture.
This card
The only thing on here that I think would have been a slam dunk would have been Wyatts vs Shield as it would have spared us Bray being fed to Cena. I have to admit the idea of Cena vs Undertaker appeals to the inner maniac in me who wants to see the world burn, because you know Vince would have told Taker to make Cena look like God. Why would you ruin HHH/Bryan by putting Orton in there? Batista vs Brock would have been interesting
because Batista would have become the sacrificial lamb to The God King instead of The Streak
