I'm looking at Injustice: Gods Among Us gameplay and the animations look fantastic, hopefully the next MK animates as well.
Kind same thing like MK. Great characters, music, "IT" factor even though animation not the greatest.
might finally have to wear shorts that fit
I'd be disappointed if she didn't, but I have a feeling it's just a way to promote another shitty wrestling concert.
On that note....since Raw is providing us with shitty country tonight, here is some good country:
Sturgil Simpson - You Can Have The Crown / Some Days (Live)

If anyone returns tonight, I'm hoping it's this man
Seriously guys, if you're not familiar with Florida Georgia Line....they're pretty much the latest in the cookie cutter genre of pop country shit.
Here they are at the grand ole opry playing Cruise

Country music is interesting because it's inherently American, from a culture that blends so much from other countries and cultures, it created something, long ago. It's interesting, but I think it's dogshit. All of it.

For all of the cultural appropriation that America is guilty of now they have contributed a ton to music, but I would say Jazz and Blues were more significant than Country music.
Oddly enough the only other art form I'd credit to being inherently American is pro wrestling.
The British, Japanese, and Mexican pro wrestling traditions all came from the U.S.
So rock n roll doesn't come from America?
edit: I read that wrong..
um.. ELVIS!!!!!

I don't much like plain country, but I do like a lot of genres that were spawned from it, Americana folk, bluegrass, southern rock, etc. But yeah, plain country & western is really cringe worthy, or at least the side of it pushed by the media is.
I don't know that it is inherently American, it was popularised there for sure, but pro wrestling took many cues from other arts, one of them being British catch-as-catch-can wrestling and it's worth noting that the sport rose to prominence at the same time on both sides of the Atlantic, even if it did take divergent paths throughout the 20th century.

Netflix needs to update its WWE documentary offerings.
Mainstream country music for the most part is shit. Anything labeled pop country (like Florida Georgia Line) is shit. There are a few exceptions of traditionalists in mainstream, but they are few(Alan Jackson, Jamey Johnson, Zac Brown for starters). You have to look out of mainstream to find traditional country acts that are making real music like classic outlaw country or even doing something new like mixing country and punk or country and other traditional forms of music that have gone out of the mainstream. Mainstream country has become obsessed with pop crossover so much that it's really a lot of pop acts with southern accents and a ton of autotune. You'll also find a lot of hip hop influence in country and if it comes off as forced, that's because it usually is something the record companies want more than the artists doing it.
Sorry for the rant, I enjoy country music but not what it has turned into in the mainstream. If you want to find real southern music in the mainstream, look up americana music (a lot of traditional country acts get shelved here), Texas country music (Texas country radio is 100% different from country radio anywhere else, they even have their own charts) or Bluegrass music (mainstream bluegrass is still real bluegrass, but it's just as hard to get into as music from another country).

I was kidding about calling it ALL dogshit, but I saw this one called "Honky Tonk Badonk A Donk" and I retched.
Outlaw country is at least interesting. It's like punk rock from a different place.

Outlaw Country and punk share the same DIY mantra. Some of my favorite bands blend elements of country and punk:
Filthy Still - The Last Six Feet

How can I make gifs from YouTube? I've watched the Survivor Series from 1990 and want to screen cap/ gif some things.
If you would just wait I'll be covering all that shit pretty soon and you wouldn't have to watch it.
Gifcam for everything. Maybe make the player a little smaller and then Gifcam to the size. I've done all my WCW 1998-1999, Rumbles, Summerslams, and random matches with Gifcam.

I just remember really enjoying Russo's first run at WCW and I don't know if it's nostalgia or what, but I'm loving most of it.
Sure, there's some shit in a 3 hour show just like there is on Raw now, but love the nWo reboot.
Tekken has a bear.
A BEAR!
It's Daniel Bryan's favourite fighting game.
You would be surprised actually. There is a niche, but still noticeable, following of country music in Britain. This includes festivals and home grown bands across the isles, more so England than the others.
For example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSu_nnhltys
For a while in the late 2000s, it caught on in some African nations like Swaziland as a fad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CBHSJrokHw
There really isn't any genre of music that won't see pop up somewhere else in the world eventually. Its just a shame some countries, some cultures, are more against trying music from outside their lands save for the few "Gangnam Style" type surprises. Lots of good music across the world, but o much is ignored.

Which WWE curren superstar is most likely to have one?
I say randy Orton

Most likely fathering an illegitimate bastard? John Cena.
It's like our ethnic tribal music.
You would be surprised, every year I find more European bands doing some form of classic country or roots music.
Thing about dating only female wrestlers is that they're likely on the pill due to not wanting to ruin their livelyhood by getting pregnant, so no need to worry about knocking them up, I suppose.
STD's though...
The real reason CM Punk's girls all leave the WWE. He's such a dirty slut, and he refuses to take medicine.

Interesting. For some reason I thought that pro wrestling influenced Britian first, but it looks like they influenced each other in a lot of ways through late 19th/early 20th century?
Do you (or anyone) have a good all encompassing history book on pro wrestling?
"True" Straight Edge says no promiscuous sex, which seems to jive with Punk as he seems like a serial monogamist.
How long is long enough for a company to distance themselves from a murderer before they start recognizing his accomplishments prior to his death? Given the nature of WWE as a family entertainment company, it's probably best that they do ignore the subject and try their best to ignore the fact that Benoit ever existed. How do you breach the subject of a guy who committed the murder-suicide of himself and his family with an all ages fanbase? It's probably best to act like he never existed, and that way you never have to acknowledge that part of his history with a fanbase who likes to dig into the personalities of performers and know and ask about everything.

and how many men a year does AJ average? If you're doing the maths.
Heh. If you want to know, this is pretty much public knowledge. Jay Lethal, Trent Baretta and now Punk. Lethal being her first kiss as well. So that's three over six years.
No no, the actual numbers don't matter. All wrestlers that have been with more than one person of the opposite or same sex, are [insert derogatory term here] and fat.
Honestly I wouldn't even know if he or any other wrestler dated another wrestler if it wasn't for this thread and some of the news websites. Like the recent reveal that Josh Mathews got out of Big Show's tour bus, clearly indicating they are now dating, or that R-Truth was at the airport with Alex Riley, indicating that they are jobbing.
The amount of time that goes into focusing on it, or insulting (mostly just women) over it is awful. We have better things to focus on, like how terrible WCW was and insulting ICP or John Cena or whomever is responsible for the loss of a push (as the magic eight ball tells us).
Jimmy Snuka almost certainly murdered his girlfriend.
Khali killed a man while training in APW.
Scott Hall got into a barroom brawl with a man and shot him in the head, killing him. (Note: The man allegedly was reaching for his gun, and hall wrestled it away from him and shot him.)
Chris Benoit's brain was turned to mush and resembled that of an 85 year old with advanced alzheimers post-mortum. As much as WWE likes to push the whole "don't try this at home." angle, they run away from the fact that the benoit double murder suicide is almost certainly a direct result of dementia caused by decades of flying headbutts, chair shots, and back of the head/neck impacts from suplexes.

It's pretty incredible how fast Punk got AJ. He went from Lita to AJ in like 2 months. I guess he must have cheated on Lita with AJ? CM Punks resume is pretty impressive
