October Wrasslin' |OT| Running around in our underwear making ugly faces

Tag team in NXT is really starting to come together. Catching up on yesterday's NXT and loving Enzo and Cass vs The Vaudevillians. Yeah, you can question the OTT aspect of a team like the Vaudevillian's, but if you can't have OTT characters in the tag division where can you have them? And you've got to have OTT characters.

My wife, who barely follows wrestling (but likes to go the occasional live event) asked me to get her a Vaudevillian t-shirt. So that's totally happening.

NXT has more tag teams than the main show right now

So I gave in and subscribed to WWE Network.

Guess I'll be coming here often. Lots of catching up to do, thought I'm fairly familiar with a bit of things thanks to Botchomania.

Did you subscribe to that bogus Rogers pack or go the proxy route? The Rogers Net Pak seems like a horrible limited deal.

There should be a Rocky Horror based tag team for October in NXT.

....what?

I could get behind mid-match pauses for everyone in the building to do The Timewarp.

Things I'm learning from the Koran:


You best fear Allah. FEAR HIM. FEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR *times infinity and beyond plus 1*

All the prophets of the Torah/Bible were Muslims, even the ones from before Mohammed's time. They all (as in, all the past, present, and future prophets) had a meeting on Mount Sinai and agreed on this.

You can't use money or the lives of your children to cover up sins and damnation, but using money to spread the word will give your soul insurance.

Allah purposely gave both very clear and ambiguous commands, and those who followed the ambiguous ones are sinners, because only Allah can interpret what he says. Which seems like entrapment to me.

Jesus was the Messiah, and was born of a virgin birth. However, he was not divine and was instead more like Adam than any kind of god. All of his miracles were done through Allah and he wasn't crucified. Instead, someone else died on the cross and Allah brought him back to heaven. Which I think also rules out the 3 days and resurrection stuff.

Dying in the way of Allah (ie, fighting in his name/honor) is an instant ticket to heaven.

Jews are liars. They are also greedy and won't repay a debt unless forced. They were cool once upon a time, but it seems like they really pissed Allah off when they asked for different food once in a while, and I think didn't want to fight when Allah wanted them to fight.

You must breast feed for 2 years. But if you want to ween of use a wet nurse, that's cool as long as you have the approval of a local council.

The rich must provide.

There is no compulsion in relgion. But at the same time, you should kill or at least run out those who don't believe. At the same time, you should be nice to them and show pitty. At the same time, do not associate with non-believers, in friendship or in business. There is A LOT of back and forth on this kind of thing. One passage will clearly say to find and kill them all, while a few pages later will say to never fight or kill unless attacked first. Some passages read that you will be punished if you associate with or don't kill/convert/run out nonbelievers. Some say they don't know because Allah has decided for them and in some cases, won't ALLOW them to believe. It's very morally confusing and conflicting and I can't see how this can be properly taught to a society. But there are those kinds of contradictions on just about everything.

Don't fight unless provoked, don't harm other believers. Except, if you suspect your wife of doing anything against Allah, you are to take her to the bed room and beat her. If she submits, you aren't allowed to hit her any more and you will be the sinner if you do. In divorces, don't be a dick and let your wife take what she wants, don't keep her as your wife by force, and don't try to fuck with her new marriage. Do not show any favoritism towards any of your wives. Treat them equally. Don't take her dowry if you want to switch wives, because that is a dick move. Also don't take the dowry of a woman you suspect of infidelity. Men are definitely superior and count for 2 women in the matters of law (maybe?) and wills. But then there are times when the woman definitely gets an equal amount or even more than the man. But if she is adulterous, absolutely lock her in your house against her will. Even though you aren't supposed to do that, except when you are.

You aren't allowed to make a profit off of spreading the word. So I think a preacher can't be paid or something is how I read it, because giving alms definitely involves giving money. It's really big on being nice and helping the sick, orphaned, and poor. But don't give land to stupid people. Be nice to them, though.

Don't drink and pray. Don't pray while you're dirty.

Muslims are prescribed fighting, and even if they hate it, it is good for them.

NO INCEST. It's very clear about it. If you fuck your mom/aunt/sister/daughter/grandmother you are going to hell forever, breh. You also can not fuck a step daughter that you are the ward of, IF you have fucked her mother. But it reads like if you haven't banged the mom, the step-daughter is fair game. Seemed to be some wiggle room with banging your sons wives as well.

Allah restrains the violence of nonbelievers, for he is more violent and severe to punish. In fact, the entire religion seems to be based around fear and punishment. I think I've read all of 2 lines in 100 pages that say anything with Allah and love in the same sentence. It's very, very, very insistent on fearing Allah above all else. "Allah loves those that fear." It also seems he genuinely enjoys punishing. All this fear stuff shouldn't be a big surprise since it's the same dude from the Old Testament, who was the biggest shitheel in the whole book and all about fucking people up.

Ape not kill ape. Which is not to say I'm comparing Muslims to apes. It just reminded me of Planet of the Apes. Jews ARE compared to apes in one passage, though. Anyway, a Muslim must not kill another Muslim unless it is an accident. And if that accident happens, the killer must release a captive. I read that as give one of his slaves to the family of the deceased, but I could be wrong. If a Mulsim intentionally kills another Muslim, he's doomed and Allah is going to get all up in that ass.



Obviously, a lot of it is familiar if you are aware of Jewish/Christian stuff, since it covers a lot of the same stuff and Islam is an off shoot/culmination of those. Quite a bit on Moses so far, but appearances by Adam, Jonah, Abraham, Jesus, Mary, Mary's father, at least one reference to Noah, David, Job, Joshua, Miriam, Samuel. It's not collected in any kind of time line, so it jumps all around. It isn't really a literary book like the Bible. But it is so full of conflict with what it says to do, there are so many caveats, sometimes completely opposite commands, and in that terrible Biblical prose that I have no idea how you would teach this to uneducated, illiterate masses. Both back then and currently. It seems to me that the conflict in the Muslim world is inherent in their book, which is at odds with itself constantly. If the book you follow as the unquestionable word of god is at conflict with itself, of course the culture around it is going to be at conflict with itself and its neighbors. I'm only a few chapters in and can see that. Me, a dumb wrestling fan. But the most important thing is to fear Allah at all times. There is one section that is a straight up mob boss situation, where he says like "Remember the favor I did for you today, and one day you'll be called to do a favor for me, and don't think about reneging or you'll burn until all your skin is gone, then I'll give you new skin to burn off. Forever. Because I can do that easily, friend." The first nearly 40 pages are all about how much you should fear him. Not the way I'd choose to start off a holy book, but whatever.
 
I am an honest man!



If they agreed to that, they're idiots.

Spike has all the leverage here. TNA does not have a new TV deal, and Spike is done with them. Completely done. There are no negotiations to put TNA back on Spike. TNA wants to remain on national television in some form, and they become less and less valuable if they are not on in some form. Hence why they may have taken a deal where Spike airs them for free.

Also, the latest tapings were done as cheaply as possible in a cheap building with essentially no set. These cheap as hell tapings also run out somewhere in November, when they will run "Best of" shows.

I don't think it's that far fetched.

Also, looks like Smackdown is probably moving to Thursday in January:

WWE sources are confirming Smackdown is moving in mid-January 2015 to another day, leaving Fridays.

Well Smackdown is moving from Friday according to Pwinsider:

We are also told Syfy likely held off on a move until after the NFL's Thursday night games were done on CBS and NBC.

The belief among those we've spoken to is that the move will be to Thursdays, although that we can't confirm that 100% as of this writing.

So football prevented the move earlier.

I can understand getting SD out of the Friday death hole but why move it to a night that has the fucking NFL on it? Just move it to tuesdays and air it live

Smackdown moving to Thursday nights during football season means competing against the NFL on CBS/NFLN and at least one decent college football matchup every week on ESPN Uno from September through December. On top of Raw getting MNF'd. lol.

This is still the dumbest fucking spot Foley ever did. He did that regularly, for christ's sake. WHY MICK

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIwgTTEUyPY

title of this video...

speaking of dumb unnecessary spots... and it was during a regular episode of smackdown too. what an idiot and talk about a waste of energy.

I hate it when awkward smart marks that wear tap out shirts and baseball caps say "I respect wrestlers cause they sacrifice their bodies for our entertainment." so dumb. creepy as fuck. no one is worth "sacrificing" your health for.

Going live with Smackdown costs quite a bit of money vs live to tape, etc. It's a big boost.

That being said, if they did that, more people would probably tune in.

I don't think it's that far fetched.

TNA went online with IMPACT when their Fox Sports deal ran out. In 2005.

If they did it again, they would've been fine. That being said...

Eh, that one is a combo of Booker not catching him and Benoit being fucking crazy and launching himself superfast

I tried reading this, man. Really, I did.

I'm just gathering my thoughts. I don't really want to post it in the Islam thread because A: I asked questions that weren't answered and B. I don't want to come off as judgmental one or way or the other until I've read more. Although all the FEAR ME GOD DAMN IT shit is really disconcerting.

Your old friend JesseEwiak is debating Islam in this thread: http://neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=906437&page=32

Have fun.

Yeah I've been reading that thread. He should stick to the Scottish Independence movement as it pertains to teachers banging students.

Very Cena-esque

"WWE pins are getting pretty risque"

Please make the thread. I have a barn burner of a thread I'm prepping and I can't do two in a day.

Also run those laylagrope.gif pins as well.

why not just stay on fridays? i don't get it

WWE makes it clear they don't care about that 18-35 year old demographic that brought them the ratings during the Attitude Era that they like to brag about on the MNW and would rather focus on kids

Kids aren't doing shit on a friday night besides maybe playing CoD

Huh? We knew all about this years ago when Factor 5 first got into trouble. We just didn't have the full story.

The "It was 100% complete! 60 fps! 1:1 motion controls! Revamped gameplay!" part where it begins sounding like a Kickstarter.

I don't buy it.
