Fuck Meltz

Benoit vs Rock was fucking incredible.

Why bother reviewing shows when all you are doing is just using Meltzer as your basis?

I could easily predict your next shows then.

What are you talking about? I'm not using Meltzer as my basis. Who said I was doing that? I was using his familiar five-star scale to dispute Fully Loaded 2000 being one of the greatest PPVs of all time "from top to bottom".

P.S. I'm not reviewing shows. As I've said numerous times, the grades are just shorthand for myself in case I want to watch something later.

P.P.S. I don't think it's a bad thing if you can easily predict my next shows. I admit all the time what I like and don't like about wrasslin'.

 

[Recall]

This is what Meltz gave anyway.

Lita & The Hardy Boyz (Jeff Hardy & Matt Hardy) vs. T&A (Albert & Test) & Trish Stratus = 2.75 stars
Tazz vs. Al Snow = 1.25 stars
Perry Saturn (w/Terri) vs. Eddie Guerrero (w/Chyna) = 2.5 stars
The Acolytes (Bradshaw & Faarooq) vs. Christian & Edge = 1.5 stars
Val Venis (w/Trish Stratus) vs. Rikishi = 2.75 stars
The Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle = 0.75 stars
Triple H (w/Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley) vs. Chris Jericho = 4.5 stars
The Rock vs. Chris Benoit (w/Shane McMahon) = 4.25 stars

Smart Money is coming in on Backlash

Welcome to the AJ Styles Era

 

[Dangerblade]

Fucking Ben Thatcher became the second most hated Thatcher in England for a while after that - was it on Pedro Mendes?

It was. Must have been 10 years ago, I completely forgot all about that shitlord Thatcher.

Smart money betting lines are basically in for Backlash

Spoiler

Styles, Becky, Usos over Hype Bros, Heath/Rhyno to win tournament, Orton, Miz

Only one to keep an eye on is Miz, some places are getting lots of Dolph bets real late and shut down the line for that particular match

Spooky Jobber Wyatt needs to win over Orton if they want him to have any credibility going forward.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Orton no longer wrestling tonight

http://www.f4wonline.com/wwe-news/r...-220641?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Our Dave Meltzer confirmed the story and indeed, Orton is out as he hasn't been cleared to wrestle. There is no word yet on how the show lineup will change.

 

[DMczaf]

We are hours away from this being the Face of the WWE

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Orton's out

So congrats everyone, the PPV's still gonna be bad but at least now you won't see Bray lose again

 

[wild wild rice]

People still posting in here instead of the Payback OT are the cool kids who sit outside drinking beers and smoking cigs while the opening bands play.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

I don't care to post in the Payback OT, I just like posting here.

Is anyone excited at all for this? I don't even know if I'll watch it later in the week because everything just feels so uninteresting. I know everyone is super hyped on Smackdown, but I just feel like the product has taken a step backwards since the split.

 

[wild wild rice]

I'm excited for Slater, AJ and seeing wtf is going on with the women's division. I expect to be moderately entertained.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

There's a Payback OT?

 

[Sweeney Tom]

I'm not watching a bad 4 hours that costs cash. I learned from Mania 32

 

[wild wild rice]

There's a Payback OT?

Whoops, Backlash, whatevz.

 

[cordy]

Actually...seems there's a huge issue at Backlash tonight...

I was just gonna post that Overwatch was kind of disappointing. Gonna play a bit more today for sure, but I think I'll end up passing. I think it's a really well made game, but it's not really my genre and Splatoon is more fun so I'm not really hungry for a team based shooter. I imagine Overwatch plays much better on PC.

For all the shit people give me for the opinion, Battleborn is genuinely the better game in terms of complexity and longevity. I've been playing more Overwatch this weekend thanks to the free offer and it's only reinforced my view on the matter.

It has the advantages of being more polished and having a higher framerate, but beyond that, it's just so...'good' as opposed to 'great'.

I still have no idea how to money

So other than eternal shame, are the Punk babies gonna get punished?

I already lost £22.50 in winnings, what more can be done to me that I'll care about?

lmaooooo

I finally watched Citizen Kane. It was pretty good. I look forward to reading all about why it's Sliced Bread #2.

 

[FlammableD]

I've got that much down at least.

 

[Menome]

Right, I have a favour to ask:

I'm working a late shift tomorrow, so I can stay up to watch Backlash. However, due to not being paid until the end of the month I don't have the Network for the next two weeks.

Is there anyone with the Network that isn't going to watch it live and would be willing to trust me with their login details? If so, please PM me and I'll owe you a (non-sexual) favour in future.

Of course it was pretty good. That part where the mask comes off and he comes after RVD? Classic. Beginning of a new age of greatness. Slow Chemical Era is the GOAT Era

At least Bray will get a much needed w-

Who am I kidding. Kane will go over.

in 2016.

Rating Fully Loaded 2000 without factoring in its backstage segments is like misunderstanding sports entertainment.
Now when you include such classics as...
- Undertaker pursuing Kurt Angle on his bike through the arena
- Jericho's "it's true, it's true" trap
- Christian totally barfing in the toilet and getting rumbled
- Benoit villainously tearing up the Rock's shirts!
Suddenly that's like having a five star match added to the card.

Damn straight.

Not to mention Benoit/Rock and Jericho/Triple H are lit 4.5 star matches.

How do I gift Menome a month of the Network?

So AJ is gonna drop the title to Corbin right

 

[SallyIsNow]

Blue's a mark ass bitch.

 

[Menome]

How do I gift Menome a month of the Network?

When Heath wins and Ambrose retains, I can afford it all by myself, don't worry.

 

[Zach]

I considered the backstage segments in my grade. Overall, they didn't help much.

 

[Bluekaveli]

That's the belly button of a man who would fuck you up!

Pac would slap you for disrespecting me.
