So much for PG

 

[Ultratech]

He got a new DLC pack

I know, right?

Also, I spend way too much time on this:

 

[Dark Ninja]

Kings heart skipped a beat there. Cut the mic dammit

 

[Anth0ny]

lolwut

 

[redmetal86]

Is Brodus dead?

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

Does anyone actually remember learning how to read? It trips me out that I don't remember a time when I couldn't read and I don't remember how I learned.

[Pristine_Condition]

So the Funkadactyls now just come out with random black dudes?

 

[abstract alien]

This dude looks like an over charging mechanic

 

[DominoKid]

not like this Xavier

(goddamn i wish JBL would swallow his tongue)

 

[Snowman Prophet of Doom]

Oh, and Jesse - it's trolling, regardless, because you never offer ANYTHING else in this thread and are clearly just doing it to get a reaction out of the people in this thread. (Which I guess I've given you, whatever.)

 

[Dark Ninja]

Xaview Woods is gonna fail getting over with every black persons gimmick until he reaches Kofi Kingston's

 

[spindashing]

...he really does have Over 9000 on his gear.

Oh man.

Nope. I actually started reading at 3, so I have no real memory prior to that.

 

[Anth0ny]

WTF HIS LIFE MANTRA IS OVER 9000????

 

[JesseEwiak]

Punk and Bryan have both given the WWE gold, though, and they've both proven that even with bad booking, they can squeeze entertainment out. They're top-notch performers. Whereas Orton and Cena are both content to ride the inertia of bad booking.

Regardless of why Austin left, his arc is clearly an educational one, nevertheless. That Vince refuses to ever try anything different than what made his little regional company big, 30 years later, shows a total lack of vision. He's lost what got him where he is in the first place.

Honestly, I think Bryan has been a horrible character since Summerslam and Punk has only been OK since he was basically in his own universe, being booked by himself and Heyman. So, I disagree whether they've been wringing out entertainment, except in the ring.

Considering the WWE is likely to get their biggest TV rights deal in history in the next year or two, I think Vince would disagree that he has a lack of vision. His vision just doesn't line up with yours.

 

[The_Joker1721]

Kosher butcher AND circumcision chants. New WWE superstar in the making!

 

[Ithil]

3MB should have had a Rat Pack gimmick this week.

I remember struggling with Hooked on Phonics then slowly getting better at it. I was 4 I think.

 

[strobogo]

It's fucking weird, man. Just the concept of learning to read makes no sense to me since I can't remember a time when I didn't already know how to read.

 

[Razorskin]

Kosher Butcher?



Get the Gobbledy Gooker out there

His vision doesn't line up with good ratings either.

Xaview Woods is gonna fail getting over with every black persons gimmick until he reaches Kofi Kingston's

What happens when Xavier and Kofi are in the ring together doing the same gimmick?

 

[Pavaloo]

He wasn't born in a barrel of butcher knives.

lol love JBL

 

[Master Thespian]

Over 9000? lol

 

[darkside31337]

holy shit jbl.

poor brodus

 

[Pristine_Condition]

We need a .gif of Cole freaking out, plz.

 

[Dark Ninja]

What happens when Xavier and Kofi are in the ring together doing the same gimmick?

Kofi is replaced and fired. The circle of life

 

[DominoKid]

kosher butcher is over as fuck.

 

[KissVibes]

Brodus lost a lot of weight. Looks good.

 

[JesseEwiak]

Would you rather get a 3.0 and 250 million dollars in 2013 or a 5.0 and 100 million dollars in 1995? Everything is becoming niche and Vince is just riding that train. Now, I think pushing that TV rights money into the WWE network is a horrible idea, but blaming Vince for being unable to stop falling ratings in comparison to ten years ago is sort of silly when same-day ratings for virtually all shows are down.

 

[Ultratech]

I get to make an Xavier clock?

Sarcastic Bryan wasn't great, but he was at least likable where Cena is a pandering chucklehead. And even when the Punk/Heyman feud got dull, both Punk and Heyman were at least giving it their all and got some good promos out between the two of them.

Vince can disagree with whatever he likes, but there's a difference between growing a business and truly being forward-thinking and looking to the future. He had that when he was young, but he's clearly ossified and lacks any sense of daring, given the way he books these days.

Edit: and considering ratings pretty much always went UP during Bryan's segments after Summerslam, I don't know how one could come to the conclusion that he couldn't draw or be good for business. Casuals were enjoying him just as much as the IWC. The same was true during the Summer of Punk.

 

[strobogo]

WWE makes way more from television rights and ads per year than PPVs, right? PPVs seem like bonus money from an outdated system.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Brie very concerned about the abduction of her fiancé.

 

[MoosiferX]

Shouldn't Brie be concerned about her missing fiance?

EDIT: DAMNIT! lol At least I'm not the only one to feel this way.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Xavier Woods is hype for Persona 5. He's okay in my book.

Xavier Woods ‏@XavierWoodsPhD 23 Nov
@GameInMyVein omg a new Persona game, I'm totally ok with that

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

Your fiance just got abducted by a bunch of hillbillies you dumb bitch, and you're getting an autograph from a football player.

Fake edit: Oh shit, Goldust :lol

 

[Pavaloo]

LOL goldust

edit: I agree, Brie should be livid at Michael Strahan for allowing the Wyatts to run wild tonight. IS HE EVEN DOING HIS GUEST DUTIES?!

 

[blackaroni]

It's about time they're using Golddust back stage.

 

[redmetal86]

Damn Poison Ivy.
Lol Goldust.

 

[The Frankman]

Michael Strahan is awesome

 

[Judderman]

Brie very concerned about the abduction of her fiancé.

Shhhhhh, no logic. Only Total Divas now.

 

[DominoKid]

vintage goldust.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Eva Marie is so over. They should all be embarrassed.

 

[Snowman Prophet of Doom]

That's what I thought, which is why it's so silly to me that the guy who GOT ratings despite not having "the look" is being blamed for PPV buyrates that aren't even their primary source of income, anyway.

Edit: OLD GOLDUST! Finally!

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Shhhhhh, no logic. Only Total Divas now.

Bwahahahahahahaha!

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Thank you based God. If Cena won...well....riot.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Nice of Cena to drop in and give Michael Strahan the rub.
