Time to invest in some boots.

Enzo and Cass tried to warn him.

Also, you'd think, considering his character on screen, he could invest in a backpack he didn't get for free from the US Army.
 
Honestly Rusev getting an injury break might save his career. He doesn't have to recover from the Cena feud and long term him and Lana together are better.

When he comes back have him go for the WHC instead of climbing up the mid card.

Assuming Vince even remembers who Rusev is, once he comes back.

Vince: "Mark Henry! There's something different about you. No wait, don't tell me. You cleaned up the beard. It looks good! Listen Mark, I have to go make sure that Owens kid is making Roman look strong, take care."

The premise of San Andreas is the usual shit we've often seen. If I ever see it (most likely Netflix), it's because of The Rock. He's the sole reason I've watched almost ever other movie he's been in, Pain & Gain, GI Joe, Snitch, etc.. He's a big reason to watch the Furious movies now, too.

It has Alexandra Daddario, that seems a good reason to watch it.

Rock's movie is at a solid 30% on Rotten Tomatoes. I bet it breaks even at least.

The Rock ain't the draw people think he is. Unless you put him in something people already want to see, like another Fast and Furious film or a G.I. Joe sequel, your best hope is a modest gross like 57 million WW for Snitch or 35 million WW for Faster. Hell, even Hercules only did 243 million WW on a 100 million production budget (so not including marketing).

San Andreas will live or die by how it does in the rest of the world. Disaster films typically do big money, but I doubt Rock's star power outside western markets. This one is especially reviewing poorly, not shocking either considering the director (who will soon have his WWE Studios movie released starring Mark Henry).

Hey guys. Heads up here....

I was alerted by PM of a thread on the NeoGaf hate subreddit asking members there to target myself and BronsonLee and try to get us banned.

I am 99.9% sure I know who this is because I have linked phrasing used in the thread to someone's posting habbits here on Gaf.

Friends, I don't tolerate such BS in my personal life and certainly not here, the community where I choose to spend my free time online.

I know some of you don't like me, but shit like that is low.

I am 99.9% sure this is strobogo because I have searched his post history and found the exact phrasing he's used in the post on reddit here on gaf directed at BronsonLee.

Friends, I don't tolerate such BS in my personal life and certainly not here, the community where I choose to spend my free time online.

I'm not sure if strobogo is perma'd but if that is indeed him, and what I have is enough to convince mods that it is, I'm sure he will be.

I know some of you don't like me, but shit like that is low.

Strongly suspect you are violating this clause in the TOS, Mr. Sandman:

Do not post disingenuously, or in an inflammatory manner for the sole purpose of upsetting others.

Huh.

Maybe bring this to the attention of a couple of GAF mods just in case?

Is it a TOS violation if he's talking about a person who's perm'd from GAF?

There's actually a NeoGAF hate subreddit? A message board devoted to hating a message board?

Lol. Internet.

I'm willing to bet it's populated almost entirely by people who are salty that they got banned from GAF

Whether it is or not, I edited the name from my post.....but it was easy for me to track the thread creator's posting habits and link it to someone who is currently banned in this community.

I have confirmed that the person I suspect is perma banned from a few weeks ago, and there is nothing further they can do.

That's all I needed from this....that and to alert the community at large here that I don't tolerate such nonsense.

Back to Wrasslin:

'The Four Horsewomen' of NXT: Sasha Banks, Charlotte, Bayley and Becky Lynch on how they're changing women's wrestling

20150526_NXTDivas_LIGHT_HP.jpg


BAYLEY: I want people to buy tickets to see us. People want to see John Cena, they want to see all these guys, but I want people to buy tickets because they want to see the girls and they’re looking forward to the Divas matches. There are two women’s matches at TakeOver for a reason. It’s not just like, “give it to them,” and it’s a short time. It’s a two-hour pay-per-view. It’s hard enough to just get one match on any wrestling show for women. Two? That’s freakin’ awesome, and we’re all involved in it and we’re all so supportive of each other. It’s freakin’ cool.
 
Rock is a shitty action hero movie actor.

He makes shitty action movies and like all action heroes he'll make 20 entertaining shitty movies before he lucks into a Terminator or Bloodsport.
Rock is perfect for shitty action movies - BUT, just buddy flicks.

Case in point? Walking Tall and The Rundown. What did both share in common?

A sidekick who comically kicked less ass and was comically less cooler and funnier than him, in a "overcome the odds" story.

Not the rah-rah action crap, Disney movies, or films by the director of Donnie Darko.
 
Also that subreddit is basically my Arc of the Covenant, that shit blew up my face

I also like that that thread has resulted in a whopping nothing happening

Yeah, most of the people there were like who? We don't care.

Still...I was alerted to it because of it's personal nature, which even judging from other threads on that forum...people just don't call out other gaf members by name, they point to posts and laugh at them.
 

Aiii

So not worth it
Well, that sure is something. What a weird thing to do.

Anyway, Sandman, Bronson, you're most appreciated as members of this thread, I'm sure everyone here will agree.
 
Who would dare laugh at my posts?!
Everything I say and do is 100% serious in every single way

Yes, you've reminded us your feebleness once more, with yet another parade of insecurities.

or that he just needs a better agent who doesn't put him in shitty movies. we need more Rundown/Scorpion King era Rock movies
I don't think those movies were really any better than Witch Mountain or Game Plan. They're probably better than the Tooth Fairy though (haven't seen that one, not even clips).

With all due respect, I probably would've done the same thing Sandman did, posting it here.

Mind you, I probably would have accompanied it with gifs of 1000 year old demons and telling stro to suck my dick from the afterlife, but here we are

I prefer to confront things head on....if you don't like me, there is an ignore feature here that anyone can use.
