NXT as a brand to me is pure poison.

You should give it a shot at redemption by watching all one billion episodes of NXT redemption (don't actually ever try this).
I'm pretty sure it had more interesting storylines than Raw and Smackdown.

Though I guess being a Ryback mark and a filthy Barrett hater you're still bitter that the right man won NXT season 1.

 

[Sokantish]

These guys know what's up. SR3 is good for some mindless nonsense, but SR2 was the better game.

WRONG!!

 

[CrunchinJelly]

NXT started and ended with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61Y4y0XBKUM

 

[slightconfuse]

NXT season 3 is the best thing the WWE has ever made.

NXT redemption was so good it was hard to believe the same company put on raw every week as well.

 

[Perspicacity]

NXT: Redemption was basically a wrestling fever dream laced with 20 minute Tyson Kidd matches, it was a great show.

And a wild-ass self-aware commentary team with no leashes on. It was something special.

 

[strobogo]

Yep, sounds like Smackdown. Randy has had the same feud with the same progression and match types in the same order since he turned face. Every feud. Usually winning 90% of the matches and the blow off on Smackdown. Then it continues for another month or two. With Randy winning all of the matches. 3 or 4 normal matches. A No DQ match. A few more normal matches. Falls Count Anywhere. All of the No DQ or FCA seem to end with a DDT or RKO on the steps.

We never did find out if percy Watson was the backstage attacker. i was secretly hoping he would be the one who attacked kaitlyn

I'm still sad Percy hasn't made it full-time onto the main roster.

FINGER RAIN

Someone needs to find that GIF of Percy Watson attacking his own team mate when all the NXT guys ran to the ring that time.

So hilarious.

Wasn't it Riley that attacked Watson? It made no sense!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't understand that at all. Why did the beatdown continue? Why not just stop when you realized something went wrong? Maybe they both didn't know who was what lol.

That entire ending was just such an incredible clusterfuck. I loved it.

 

[slightconfuse]

also no one has posted that Kings of Wrestling vs Seth Rollins and CM Punk match. have they?

FCA is slowly becoming a signature Orton match type, like Cena to I Quit matches and Kane to Inferno.

To this day the fact that Kane went over him clean at WM blows my mind to pieces, well until of course he fell pray to that signature Orton match type a month later, Orton doesn't end his face feuds without going out on top.

This is what happens when they know they have a good wrestler, but creative just has nothing for him. I mean seriously, since Legacy Orton has just been treading water in a creative black hole on Smackdown.

Yeah, I think it was Watson getting attacked thinking about it. It was just such a mess.

Watson still sold it like a champ.

Early Raw Viewing Numbers:

8:00- 4.07 million
9:00- 4.28 million
10:00- 3.88 million

 

[Net_Wrecker]

WRONG!!

Nope. There was no tether in Saints Row 3. It's just pure craziness all the time, characters get offed nonchalantly, stuff happens every 10 minutes and are completely glossed over, the dynamic of "The Boss" and your homies wasn't as strong, a lot of the early missions were filler, etc. etc. They made a clown game. There's nothing wrong with that, but I preferred the balance in SR2 where it was clearly over the top, but still had dark and serious moments to reel in the experience every once in a while.

I don't hate Barrett, I just hate that he's done absolutely NOTHING. Same with Del Rio, Kofi and JOMO.

 

[slightconfuse]

guys i hate to admit it but net wrecker has it right.

Sr3 is insane in sportsbut has nothing else going for it. Sr2 has the right amount of crazy.

 

[Sokantish]

Don't really care about the crazyness of the story, I cared about how much more fun it was than SR2. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree!

Sr 3 was fun to play, but i think Sr2 had a batter balance.

the city in Sr3 fele a lot more empty than 2.

 

[ecurbj]

God, that CM Punk documentary is awesome. 10/10. Kofi and him share a bus together. Never knew that. Punk is a vegetarian too. Never knew that either. He has come a long way. And it's amazing his mindset is to change the copy from what it is currently.

You go Phil.

 

[Striker]

guys i hate to admit it but net wrecker has it right.

It had better enemy gangs and side activities, sure, but the rest I enjoyed more in SR3. I think I enjoyed the customization for our characters the most in SR1 though.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

guys i hate to admit it but net wrecker has it right.

If there's one constant in this WWE universe, it's that I'm always right 95% of the time. Don't hate to admit it, love to accept it.

Don't really care about the crazyness of the story, I cared about how much more fun it was than SR2. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree!

The mechanics are better, so if that alone is enough for you, s'okay wit me. My issue is that SR3 feels like a modern action movie that tries to appeal to the fans of 80's/early 90's actions movies. It's bigger, and prettier, and louder, and crazier, but has no heart.

SR3 felt like "empty fun." It's like all the best parts of ODing without any of the repercussions. Sometimes you just gotta bottom out and find yourself living in the streets in some back alley in a neighborhood you don't know begging people for some money so you can get another hit, nahmsayin? The experience just ain't whole without the soul crushing reality check.

 

[Aiii]

Both Bryan and Punk have started eating meat again.

New World Order doc is very forgettable btw. Only Cody Rhodes stories about his dad were cool and new, rest was same old stuff. Only ran for an hour too. Not worth the money imo.

 

[Data West]

SR2 had Worf. I win

 

[krae_man]

Oh my god guys. I just bought a new 1080p monitor to go with my new PC and something dawned on me:

Dual screen WrassleGAF!

 

[UberTag]

This is what happens when they know they have a good wrestler, but creative just has nothing for him. I mean seriously, since Legacy Orton has just been treading water in a creative black hole on Smackdown.

Orton has had one memorable feud since turning face... ONE.
Against Christian.
And he still won virtually every match in that feud except for the one where Christian won the title via deliberate disqualification.

He's also been thrown down some stairs by Barrett and feuded with Kane over a handshake.
Plus he annihilated CM Punk, Dolph Ziggler and his former Legacy cohorts with RKOs out of nowhere dozens of times.

That's about it.

 

[Kaladin]

Oh my god guys. I just bought a new 1080p monitor to go with my new PC and something dawned on me:

It's amazing isn't it?

I can't wait for my first chance to take it for a spin!

 

[Kaladin]

Now get an iPad and add a third screen.

 

[gurudyne]

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree!

No, this is the Internet. You two fight it out until you're both banned. Such is our way.

And SR2 was clearly superior, even though it had less wrestling and drone strikes.

Big Show attacks Sheamus at a Pub: lol

Hook up your console to that extra monitor and be in heaven.

 

[krae_man]

I do have an HP touchpad.

Hook up your console to that extra monitor and be in heaven.

The monitors don't have HDMI and I don't want to go through adapter gymnastics to hook my PS3 up to one of the monitors and my speakers. Besides two monitors and a printer takes up most of my desk space and buying a new desk is not on the agenda.

Do you use Windows 8?

 

[A Pretty Panda]

I use double monitors too. It's too bad my second monitor is dim and has a weird screen ratio.

 

[Striker]

Didn't watch the show at all yesterday, but caught some clips on WWE's Youtube channel.

Why did Ryback clean the ring and get a clean pinfall over both Punk and Ziggler, two of the top three heels in the company? Good grief this company.

Brad Maddox stuff is stupid as hell.

Liked JR acknowledging the crowd cheering for Barrett. Only Cole and Lawler seem to ignore and try to point out they're really cheering for the face.

I like the Rhodes/Sandow and Kane/Bryan feud, but it needs to end with both Rhodes and Sandow getting the belts.

re: Saints Row

SR3's aerial machines were ace. Another reason why I enjoyed it the most.

 

[krae_man]

Do you use Windows 8?

No, I think Windows 8 is pointless without a touch screen.

I'm sticking with Windows 7.

 

[Nocturnowl]

I don't hate Barrett, I just hate that he's done absolutely NOTHING. Same with Del Rio, Kofi and JOMO.

I'd like to think we all hate this, hey ADR did stuff, RR winner, MitB winner, 2 time WWE champ, just that the handling of all those things was atrocious.

 

[krae_man]

The handling of everything is atrocious. Even people they want to push like Ryback.

 

[Phoenixazure]

Quite awesome seeing Barrett getting to close the show in front of the home crowd for RAW. I'm always a sucker for these things (Punk, Bryan, Ryder, etc)

 

[Kaladin]

No, I think Windows 8 is pointless without a touch screen.

I'm sticking with Windows 7.

Windows 8 is mostly not much different from 7 for me...except it fucks up my tv tuner sometimes because the company hasn't written a Windows 8 driver yet.
