Proxy route, combined with US PSN Account. Fuck Rogers. They even ruined NHL Gamecenter for me.
Fucking insane.

Rogue Leader (2) is the best arcady flight game of all time. OF ALL TIME.
3 sucks BUT it has all of 2 in local co-op :O
Few shots from last night.
Probably will never be closer to wrestling action in my life, my seat.
Even the booker gets a spot.
The bachelor.
Favorite moment of the night, Jimmy Jacobs comes out and congratulates the bachelor, talks about partying etc. Then starts introducing the next match between ACH and Alexander. He calls ACH a nerd for playing his Gameboy in the back. ACH comes out with his gameboy and poses next to me. He was not playing Smash. Bummed I didn't have my gameboy with me to get a tag.
Overall good show. It was a total comedy night, cracking up the whole time. The heels were way over.
Looks like a fun time. How were the matches?
Really thought Professor X was joining us for nWoctober, but then he swerved me.
Some something 9.99 wwe network joke
i was happy to have friend wwe 9.99 network available to me on my smartphone, tablet, or device the other day when i was on a car trip though. 1999 smackdown was entertaining even if it did eat up a chunk of my monthly data
hahahahaha holy fuck

FANTASTIC
yet these guys cant get air time
I may be going to the Chikara show in Richmond, VA. I hope I'm able to, since I'm moving to Indiana, the odds of seeing my man ULTRAMANTIS BLACK without traveling back here for a Chikara show are very slim. I wanna see him at least once and buy some more merch from him.
I'm good now! Thanks for asking. Not really digging my meds, but I feel a lot better than I have in a long time.
I'm glad Edge and Christian did something together for the Smackdown anniversary. Is it worth signing up for the network again to see it?
Did he really say this? Did show up randomly and make bad jokes about someone being a prostitute?
Absolutely absurd.
Can't have three black wrestlers getting over as a group without playing up race and making them heels for wanting equality.

how in the shit are these guys not getting air time but we're stuck with Kane
in 2014
The Woods-Kofi-Biggie trio not being on-air yet is a good thing. WWE is letting them hone their gimmick, promos, teamwork, chemistry, etc. at house shows. More importantly, WWE is getting to focus test how they work at house shows and adjustments can be made based on how they work, how the crowd reacts, etc. This should be done with a lot more wrestlers prior to changes, assuming the SWERVE!!! factor isn't paramount to the change. Lastly, it lets the WWE have the luxury of greenlighting them when there's a prime opportunity and knowing that they'll be ready. This is a good thing.

Bronson is a vegan? No wonder he's short, not enough meat in his system. This explains the shaky camera work too, his body craves something he won't eat and his body is trying to revolt.

You trying to say that they are well spoken?

As much as that all sounds logical, it's more likely just that they don't know how to present three black guys in a stable and not have the focus be on the fact that they are three black guys in a stable.
Its insane how the WWE doesn't push their midcard/underused talent.
Why can't TNA try to sign Cena and Kane?
Let them rot there.

Snippet from a new Ambrose interview:
TNA doesn't have enough money to sign Samoa Joe or The Wolves right now. Cena, and even Kane for that matter, is several magnitudes above TNA's pay grade.

The wrestling was on the PPV dean.
Even then it sucked "work rate" wise until 2000. Very entertaining though most of the time, just not technically sound.

I like ambrose, but I don't get what he's saying, the wrestling was better then too
We had guys like jezza, benoit, angle, eddie, the returning hbk, lesnar...the wrestling was much better. Unless he's specifically going for that 97-00 period or something, but even then the matches meant more. That st valentines day massacre which was literally just austin beating mcmahon round until the Shoe turned up, the dude vs austin (you must conform to mr mcmahons utopia), the dual dx-undertaker/dx-foundation feuds...there was almost always a lot of stuff going on you had to tune in for, which is what is missing now.
They had something interesting going with the wyatts for a while and messed it up feeding them to cena for nothing, now they've practically had to call a reboot and start up with vignettes again. Is that better?
...also hbk humping the canadian flag is forever hilarious

The Attitude Era is an awkward as fuck watch. WWE was right to not really acknowledge it for a good while there.

He's right. Even watching the Monday Night Wars it's obvious because the WWE themselves edit and cut that shit to make it look way different and better than it was.
Those aren't "Attitude Era" guys to me. Angle, maybe, but even his best stuff was pretty late in the Attitude Era.

Dean Ambrose using hot dog attacks was obviously a meta-commentary on the attitude era and was a pretty clear slight to the Rock. Not surprising that such rich satire sailed over the heads of the usual suspects here.
Indeed. Shit is overkill cringeworthy to even watch. It's a shame WWE trying to throw the attitude era in people faces because some wrestling fans refuse to take off the Rose goggles but fail to see the superior Ruthless Aggression era.
Lesnar/returning HBK era was not the Attitude Era. The main Attitude Era was 1998-2000. Really 1998-1999. And the matches DID suck for the most part. TV matches were 3 minute nothings. A lot of PPVs had most of their matches under 10 minutes.

And most of them were just to set up something else. I was watching some old Raws a couple weeks ago and I was surprised at how few of the matches actually finished.

It's weird watching Rock matches from that era, because everyone remembers him as "the most electrifying man," and it's really just a lot of slow clotheslines and punches until a finisher works. The athletic game in wrestling has stepped up so much in 15 years.
You mean all they do is produce the material and do the commentary as if they were King Tut and WCW never did anything for the business. Or in some shape or form try to act like Triple H was a bigger star than he really was (i.e. DX invasion segment and writing Triple H as a "cornerstone" of the original DX in '97).
What the era then did was produce characters, storylines and feuds that people cared about, unlike today.
