It will be full of guys telling that you need special guidance to read it, that you do not understand the context, that the English translations are wrong, and so on.

I would rather have Brock leave with the belt than see this again... the uncertainty caused by his absence would be more compelling. They could do a tourney to see who gets to face the Rumble winner at mania or something.

The wrestling pictures really make it a lot easier to understand Islam.
flashbacks to the avatar rumble
That's what I got when I asked some questions in the Islam OT and the Afleck thread. This translation is by a Muslim and features over 150 pages of notes. And it would be incomprehensible without the notes for large swaths of the book. Like all the battles or specific mountains or cities or stories that are mentioned in passing and usually not even by name. Without the notes, it would be very hard to understand. I would agree with that. But this does have notes to explain those things, plus I'm taking my own notes and researching afterwards. It's not a super easy book to read even if it was in a modern writing style.
That's all I could think about when OUTRAGEOUS was used about 5 times, by both Allah and Moses. And since Allah's throne was carried on water before he created land and all that...I'm forced to believe he's Aquaman.

Quake would have been a great mascot for us. Far better than goddamn Marchie Archie. I will admit, that booking was really great and fun, even if I grew to hate that shitlord.
And Brocks contact us up in April
Poor Bork man...
i'd legit rather see brock show up on UFC TV with the WWE belt

You're making Orton a face, he's currently getting outside attention for his RKO, he's a great worker when he wants to be, how the fuck is he not a dude to throw at Lesnar?
Besides the Yes Lock, the F5 was also tailor made to be countered into an RKO.

It just bothers me that they have no faith in the roster they have right now. You'd think with the Network this would open the avenue of them changing it up a bit and giving more people a chance but another Cena match? It's fucking Groundhog's Day with this fucker.

Jake Roberts shares an update
After everything he's been through he can still smile and be positive. I hope he get's well soon.

I'm convinced that Juvi is Allah in human form. #stayrealjuicy is a dope hash tag.

Stro for your next religious text review may I suggest The Bhagavad Gita.

Praise Layla and all her works
Legit the next one on my list was the Bhagavad Gita. My liberried has a copy with "interlinear translation from Sanskirt, word for word translation and transliteration, complete gramatical commentary, as well as readable prose and page-by-page translations". I was going to hit up Eastern shit next just to give my brain a break from Ye, thou, dost kind of shit. I've been meaning to read the BG for the last 4 years or so.

So after months of bitchin, most of you marky marks are not only getting 2K15 day one, but are getting the season pass as well. Just like when you said you wouldn't re-up to the Network.
Absolutely amazing.
Gamefly is the only way to go with that hot garbage
She might not be strong enough to lift shops, but post-theft Emma is a pretty lady.

You'll enjoy The Bhagavad Gita. Actually most of the Hindu Vedas are interesting whether you are sober or not. I read most of them in a haze of weed smoke in my mid 20s so I'm not sure how much I actually remember them. Come to think of it i should go back and read them soon to see how my perspective has changed since I'm older and sober.
Most of the eastern religions have some stark differences from their western counterparts but then you find out that all of them have very similar messages underneath.

Chris Jericho's AMA:

Interesting quips there with regards to Benoit, Bray Wyatt and the 1004 holds

I like the concepts of Eastern religions and philosophies a lot more than Western, but everything in ancient Indian literature is fucking bonkers. And dope. The Koran actually kind of hints at the concept of Brahman and reincarnation. Also evolution and Adam was created out of black mud, so I think BCT should take that as a win for the first human was a black guy.
Glad they are paying a fuck ton of money to this.
If they don't do Ambrose vs Lesnar before this is all over then they are idiots.
Games an absolute mess.
- Confusing control scheme, that doesn't know whether it wants you to strike, or run.
- Slow plodding gameplay that's supposed to mimic(What I guess is) the NJPW Strong Style at the time.
- Sometimes you'll be dominated by the CPU for long periods of matches. I guess this is realistic, but do to your non-activity it's as interesting as watching a Kojima cutscene.
- Move sets are very limited. Especially becomes noticeable when the matches go over 10+ minutes(real time). The only time it expands is during Rush mode. Which is an absolute bitch to get, and you have to take a really long beating for your character to achieve it.
- Pretty every time the CPU will pin you for the three count with a simple move(snapmare, body slam, dropkick, etc), and never with a big super move. This makes for very anti-climactic match endings when in comparison to KoC, and FP.
- The arena options in exhibition mode are terrible. You get the dome, choice of ring, and what company specific decoration to put in front of the entrance stage. The only time you get to see the other well known Japanese arenas is when you play the games story mode.
- No commentary... This series had three entrees, and no commentary for every one in the series.
The only positive is that the visuals are top-notch. Move animations, walking animations, hell even the selling animations are incredible. Probably still hands down the best looking wrestling game on the market(And yes it's a PS2 game).
Do you use something to play import games on a PS2?
Jericho says Wyatt will be a world champion within a year...
Of course. So he can take credit for bumping Wyatt to the next level. Don't fall for that apple juice in a whiskey bottle drinking carny son of a bitch.

That AmA sucked. 90% of it is him plugging his book or giving goofball answers to stupid questions.
Age of Flop Lesnar.
They should've just handed the title to Batista back in May. He could've part-timed it up for a few months, ran through a few jabronis like Cena, Wyatt, and Cesaro, continue to be more hated than anyone, and then finally put over someone at Wrestlemania 31. Prime opportunity to take advantage of someone getting crazy heat.
Instead, there is nothing of interest on Raw now. Even Ambrose/Rollins has somehow passed its expiry date.
There is a Cena and Orton Hell in a Cell match. It's like they forgot how shit the first one was, so we get it a second time. Truly historic.

I bet you the way he answered these stupid questions is same the same exact fucking way he would answer the stupid questions he'd received through CompuServe during a 96 PPV.
If this is true, and Bryan is really going to be out til after Rumble... fuck.
