And they put the Macho statue right by Stephanie's office as a rib.
He asked for one if he could beat the UNITED STATES CHAMPION, John Cena and become the first ever World Heavyweight Champion and UNITED STATES CHAMPION. He beat him and got the statue.
I know there are a ton of haters around but I love the whole statue gimmick.

Neville's friend Ammell has proven himself to be a bit of a dumbass.
Eh, I don't really think so
He's standing up to people who stereotype white southerners. I see no issue with that.
I agree.

I was careful to only say "a bit of a dumbass" because I don't think he has bad intentions, just that his argument is flawed and mostly the timing.
I think he could have worded it better, but the general point I felt he was trying to convey was right. And you're right, I don't think he had any bad intentions with it.

That old gag about Stephanie and Savage.

It's the same as people in Austin who claim that not all of Texas is a fucking wasteland because Austin exists.
YOU FORGOT KEVIN OWENS LOL AMIRITE CUZ HES KINDA FAT
So, I just found out that the intention of RoboCop was to depict him as a resurrected Christ figure who dispenses justice the hard way instead of through compassion and forgiveness. Robocop is a weird Christian allegory, and the shot of him walking on water was apparently done on purpose to further this connection.
IIRC Paul Verhoeven actually said the walking on water thing was coincidental, but the other Christ allegories in the movie are intentional. But yeah, there's definitely some Jesus parallels in there. RoboCopism is a religion I can get behind.

his match with Sheamus where he won the WHC was great, I want to say that was at Hell in a Cell?

The whole thing about Murphy recapturing his identity and the concerns about the proclamation that Jesus was the Son of God and the Son of Man while temporal authorities rejected those claims line up too.
Verhoeven himself claimed that it was a Christ allegory as well.

Nashtember back in full swing.
Here's what happens when you hit the move on someone who isn't a fat lazy untalented sack of shit by the way
I was sure he was going to win this match.
Master politician Mean Mark always protecting his spot, friend.
Always. Then Real Ass Diesel left and we got stuck with perpetually injured, lame as fuck Undertaker until 2001.
This is the problem with Big Show.
All people remember from him is people picking him up. He might as well be a dead weight.
I mean outside of him having a big hand for cops and the one time Benoit made him look like a monster everything memorable about him is that he was a big weight.

Diesel was lame as fuck by the time he left though. He pretty much needed to go to WCW.
When he feuded with Undertaker was when he was a super dick and fucked over Bret and Undertaker and destroyed Undertaker's casket with a fire axe. There is nothing lame about that. He turned back heel/tweener during the Undertaker/Bret feud.
Come on son. Diesel's worst times were when he was the champ, and even then it was only when he was matched with someone shitty.
No one wants to see a video of people pulling the 8000000 Nikki Bella cards in Supercard. Or picking in hopes of a good card and getting a rare Tyson Kidd.
Actually, yeah, you're right. Diesel then was more interesting than WWE Champ Diesel. Still, going to WCW was way better for him. It's more that lame ass champ Diesel is basically burnt into my brain since that was during my younger years.
the powerbomb that killed the business
i loved it maggle
Oh for sure, Diesel was basically Kevin Nash by that point. It was definitely the most seamless transition from WWF to WCW. Like it wouldn't have worked with shitty face Roman Reigns type face promos when he was the champion
The Undertaker of New Generation was such a boring clod in and out of the ring just because of how they wanted his character(or lack of) working.
Well part of the whole appeal of the Sting storyline is that it's a year long storyline. You would want to start with when he 'leaves' the company at the very least. And even then, you miss out on why Sting is so important to WCW.
the powerbomb that killed the business
Just like the finger poke of doom, I'll never understand the complaints about this. If you want to talk long-term ramifications because of a lack of an interesting follow-through storyline then sure. But the act itself? Who else was going to beat Goldberg? Hogan? The only other option I could think of is Steiner and Steiner wasn't ready for it then.
Dude...that's money being printed with that bold statement. Imagine Kevin Owens and Ziggler spending a hour trying to get that rare HBK card. The show sells itself.
