Networks want content and I'm sure Superstars and Main Event is cheap.
True. We have a Movie Tavern around here which is sorta similar, though the food is probably on par with what you'd pay for at a restaurant.
But as for myself, I typically eat before/after going to the movies. Stuff's expensive.

Too bad bro. Now we've got the beardy cripple shagging his wife at home, the beardy cultist making Reigns looks strong, and the supporting actor in the #1 movie of the year playing a Bond henchman.
Also Bray went over Bryan, dunno what the hell you're talking about.

True, but that Batista-Orton match, with that crowd, would have been an absolute disaster on the level of Brock-Goldberg.
Edit: Guys, his point is that if Bray had gotten into a 3-month storyline with Bryan, he would have avoided the Cena feud AND come out hot from WM XXX after his victory over Bryan.

It doesn't matter who won Bryan/Wyatt or how long it went on or even if Wyatt feuded with Cena or not because inevitably WWE booking was going to fuck up everything and Bray was going to end up as just another face in the crowd like he is now.
It's true. One of WWE's biggest failures as an entertainment company for the past few years is its lack of quality creative direction. Makes it hard to get excited about pushes or storylines because it's rare for the company to take something good and contribute to it instead of running it into the ground, abandoning it outright or giving it their own godawful spin.
How's New Found Glory doing?

What have you guys been reading lately? I recently finished The Running Man by Stephen King and Stardust by Neil Gaiman. Liked the former, loved the latter. Gaiman has me in a fantasy mood, so I've moved on to The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks. First Brooks novel ever. So far, so typical, but enjoyable.

This new Chrome mobile browser update is great:
It's like my Dictionary extension for desktop Chrome but on PEDs. Now I can easily follow all the esoteric wrestle talk that Bootaaay and Data West post about.

That 10 man tag main event....holy shit. Peak Real Ass Attitude Era.
If that is all, your brain will quickly turn to hateful mush, friend.
Quite the diverse selection. Still plan to read House of Leaves one of these days, and I'd be curious to read more Nabokov beyond Lolita, which was uncomfortable but brilliantly written.

Just finished The Irregulars: Roald Dahl and the British Spy Ring in Wartime Washington by Jennet Conant.
Pretty awesome.

Nope. But they like her a lot down there.
Nah. They really like her work and her selling and there's way more to her being over with the NXT crowd than the tights. She's become a good worker.
Nah, she's got lots of costume pieces that would cause no trouble. In fact, after she wore it on TV she thought she was going to be in trouble, because some Marvel guys working on one of the X-Men books noticed it right away and everybody in the offices was watching it, but they gave her their blessing. The blue pants thing was just a happy accident.
Nope.
Been in a comic kick lately, so Sandman spinoff Lucifer and Image Comics' Chew, Sex Criminals and Saga. All good stuff. Remender's Low however is garbage. Incomprehensible art work and a main character that's more a therapy session about the importance of positive thinking than she is a real character. Which according to his forward is literally the case.
Trying to find a good book on the political precursors to World War I if anyone has any suggestions.

The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914 by Christopher Clark is essential reading on the subject. Great book.
EDIT: After reading The Sleepwalkers, (which was sometime in Summer 2014) I read an old Sunday Times review of the book which has piqued my interest in another book on the same subject, July 1914 by Sean McMeekin, but I still haven't gotten a copy yet. Here's the review: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/12/books/review/the-sleepwalkers-and-july-1914.html?_r=0
Exactly the kinds of things I'm looking for. Thanks!

Just saw the Iron Sheik documentary - really well done I thought. Would definitely recommend to this anyone in this little corner of GAF.

This sounds cool. Non-fiction I'm assuming? Didn't know Roald Dahl was involved in anything political.

How's that Brent Weeks book? I enjoyed the Night Angel trilogy, although it wasn't the best written fantasy series I've read. Haven't read any of the Lightbringer books, though.
Just finished with these three;
And now I'm starting this;

I haven't got to it yet but my fiance enjoyed it and recommended it. How is The Expanse? Leviathan Wakes has been on my list to read for ages.
I've always got a good sci-fi or fantasy novel to read. My Kindle backlog rivals my Steam backlog. It doesn't help that I'm a slow reader.

Yeah, I'm a big sci-fi/fantasy fan - I guess a video game message board has a lot of crossover potential amongst the geekier fandoms.
I've enjoyed the series a lot - just ignore the 'space opera' tagline it's often associated with, the series isn't some universe-spanning epic as that would suggest, but is more of a sci-fi action adventure with some big ideas and well written characters. Not at all surprised it's been picked up for TV, when reading it I thought it would be perfect for the screen.
