Wipeout 2097 or whatever (2nd one) for PS1 is my fav all time. I had the console hooked up to my big sound system and it was like.....a Revelation. I felt like it truly was the next level.

I stopped caring about Mario Kart after the 1st one.

Miz is doing excellent work within the context of the WWE and Meltzer's/Alvarez's inability to detach his critical mind from Reseda or Korakuen (or 20 years ago in Alvarez's case) when analysing WWE is pretty bad, if that is what is happening. Like seruously, do you judge a DG 6 man cluster on the same scale as Trauma I vs Canis Lupus or a ZSJ/Tyler Bate World of Sport throwback or a NJPW main event or Matt Riddle in some high school gym somewhere? The presentation, methods, lineage and goals of all these things are different.

The Miz isn't trying to break new ground with innovative spots and offense. The DG 6 man isn't trying to emphasize selling or the importance of the opening moments, Tramua/Lupus isn't about scientific, realistic wrestling, ZSJ/Tyler Bate aren't going to ditch the one upmanship element of the WoS style, Naito isn't going to DQ himself in the main event to hold on to the belt, the setting of Matt Riddle's match does not preclude you from recognizing his huge star potential.

And yet with The Miz, who is perhaps doing the best job on the entire WWE roster of being what the ideal "Superstar" should be, of building a heated feud with a man who has no right to be cheered or believed in, to executing his in ring performances to exactly what is needed according to storyline, to living and breathing his gimmick and building interest in his belt...after all that he's bad because Alvarez is an out of touch geek? Or because people's preconceptions are so set in stone they can't get over that to see the work this dude is putting in?

God, I sound like a Miz stan, which I definitely am not, but the dude deserves all the credit in the world for dredging the IC belt out of the fucking sewer, snapping at that opportunity as soon as it was presented to him and looking, acting and feeling like the most hungry, motivated guy on the entire roster. More than Jericho, Owens, Cena, Reigns, Rusev, all your favs, everybody. You can feel the need to be back in that main event. That's what's most exciting about The Miz. And fair play to SD for giving him a platform to do that, rather than be crushed alive by Stephanie McMahon and Hunter.

He really does deserve all the credit. This doesn't feel like those half assed attempted to revive the championship by putting it on a guy who was clearly just at the main event level and downgrading him (Bryan/Cena) or having legends come out to half assedly put it over. The Miz has finally created a storyline with enough heat where the Intercontinental championship can actually main event a PPV and it won't feel out of place.

Crash Team Racing was the best cart racer of the 90's.

I would rather they made a new CTR then a new Crash platformer.

#shoot.

if you're going to shoot, shoot for real

Crash Team Racing is the best game Naughty Dogs ever made and i'd rather see them do that than the same bland story driven game with horrible controls over and over again

I still say PGR2 is my favourite racing game ever.

But when I want to do serious racing it has to be F355 Challenge, that is a game that demands skill and patience beyond any other.

Truth. And I never thought MK64 would be topped but MK8 just blows everything else away.

Shoot
  • I want Ziggler to win the IC belt and get back into the main event scene. Loving all the hate he's getting.
  • Despite the most horrendous fucking booking imaginable, Bray Wyatt's character can still be saved. Reset the gimmick, give him a clean win over Lesnar at a major PPV and don't let him lose again.
  • I want Maryse to get involved more in Miz's matches. I'm sure she's still capable of executing a move now and then. Give Miz the gimmick that his wife is actually the one winning his matches for him.

Meltz gave Zayn vs Jericho 4 stars. Look I love Sami but that was not a great match at all, it was average all around.

Apparently Alvarez completely dumped all over the Miz/Dolph Smackdown segment even more on his show with Tom Lawlor. So fucking out of touch it hurts, so glad I dropped my sub.

I wouldn't be shocked if he did. Both him and Meltz seem to be really negative on Smackdown not to mention they aren't understanding anything on it for the most part. Meltz didn't like Cena losing, they didn't seem to realize Miz was intentionally mocking Daniel Bryan last week (I swear Meltz might be worried he'll explode if he's ever positive on Miz) and they thought the Becky and Alexa segment was strictly about their looks.

Even Backlash got lower grades then it should have, particularly the women's and 'shockingly', Miz's match.

Edit: Meltz actually said some positive stuff on Miz, so good to know he isn't completely anti-Miz. Alvarez seemed to let his Ziggler hate get in the way of it by shitting on it and said he had a 'Ryback shoot interview' vibe to it.

- I wish Angle would've won the big one on a better show, under better circumstances.
- I like Bad Man Rikishi's entrance theme.
- I like Bad Man Rikishi's entrance muumuu, but that was never going to work (especially in 2000).
- Bad Man Rikishi was already facing an uphill battle, but his chances as a top star were completely dashed when he didn't ditch the thong (for some tights or pants or something, you sicko).
- I don't know how I'm supposed to feel when after Bad Man Rikishi talks about his people being held down by the WWF and their Great White Hopes, a redneck skinhead whips Bad Man Rikishi with his belt and then hangs him with a rope.
- Stephanie McMahon is the absolute worst. She's one of the main reasons I'm always considering dropping the chrono-journey after WCW dies.
- I feel pretty confident that Triple H is a midcarder who put in a lot of work to try to manufacture a top-of-the-card persona, but will never be good enough. Seems like he lucked out being a reliable, hard-working guy in wrestling's boom period, who was pushed hard and given every opportunity imaginable to succeed when people were too excited about wrestling/oblivious to behind-the-scenes booking to be bothered by his outrageous run of matches in 2000.

Okay, that's enough! I'm not Recall!

Sounds like you're calling HHH a B+ player

Friend Zach, the main reason you should consider dropping the chrono journey after WCW dies is because not long after that you'll have to suffer through HHH's reign of terror.

Does this Meltzer business mean that The Undertaker's been going around with a crude street-name behind the scenes for most of his life?

Shitty "it's all about me" Triple H's full time reign of terror started in 2002 and carries on until 2005.

Triple H in 2003 was height of it all, where he killed everyone and helped destroy more careers than anyone else before or since.
