Just watched Starrcade 93 for the first time. Hard to believe that the first death from all the people in the post match celebration is the little boy.
ReplyDeleteThen again, if David Flair's pupils weren't darting around, I'd have thought he was dead right there...

^The cover story we came up with
So, for anyone watching Game of Thrones: Is Vince Russo booking Jaime Lannister's character at this point? Dude turns face and heel more times than Big Show.
ReplyDeleteThe show has deviated a LOT from the books in regards to his character. Even when he chucked Bran out the window (in the novel) George RRRRRRR Martin prefaced his "The things I do with love" comment with something like "with a look of revulsion"... I'm still annoyed by his Dr. Who wardrobe choices.
ReplyDeleteWILL AJ BE SELLING THE WEEKS OF BANGING
ReplyDelete"The list was compiled by Joey Styles, who is taking some heat for it by people who take stupid WWE lists way too fucking seriously."
ReplyDeleteFTFY
I'm too lazy to read it, why did he take heat? ECW people on top or something?
ReplyDeletePunk could learn something from AJ, when it comes to taking time off in a professional, non-bridge burning manner.
ReplyDeleteI dont think has burnt ny bridges. Wwe want him back!
ReplyDeleteDusty was fucking around a bit on Twitter about it.
ReplyDeletePlease like Punk has anything that would cause her to have to sell. He isn't Colonel Parker
ReplyDeletePunk is a baby and by most accounts, a huge politician in the locker room
ReplyDeleteLOL. Harvey Whippleman's wife has probably seen better.
ReplyDeleteYou are seriously going to make me read the Scotty Riggs shoot to understand this joke aren't you self marketing whore?
ReplyDeleteI think "smart" fans made several assumptions about the way that Punk left that haven't really been verified by anyone officially.
ReplyDeleteIf Punk wants to come back, WWE will welcome him back with arms wide open.

ReplyDeleteThe fact that you haven't read it yet is disappointing.
ReplyDeleteI barely know who he is... and it was really long. (That's what she said btw)
ReplyDeleteYou just get me, you know that?
ReplyDeleteSTOP IT! YOU HAD ME AT HELLO!
ReplyDeleteShe was being REALLY nice to you.
ReplyDeleteUnrelated note, I did NOT cave and buy the 2 Final Fantasy games.. not thanks to you of course.
ReplyDeleteMeh as long as I get mine! AMIRITE?
ReplyDeleteYou would like it. Half of it is how he banged chicks on the road.
ReplyDeleteTranslation: "You are the official BoD man whore so it is right up your alley"
ReplyDeleteFine I will use that as my method of not doing my job today
Hey, look, it's one really great game packaged with an OK game. I'm about 20 hours into it now. I think it would have been worth it.
ReplyDeleteI can see Bret Hart reading it at home, scribbling furiously onto a notepad while cursing under his breath.
ReplyDeleteIt's an entertaining shoot. Top ten of all time, IMO
ReplyDeleteFF10/10-2 HD?
ReplyDeleteDid you play them back in the day? How do the graphics compare when upgrading them to HD?
ReplyDeleteAnd honestly I am mostly concerned it will lose my interest before I get $40 worth of entertainment.
10's a solid game, 10-2 is straight fanservice bullshit.
ReplyDeleteJoel Gertner was on the list, as was the Miz and Stephanie McMahon (well, that one was to be expected)
ReplyDeleteSo, there's two schools of thought on Starrcade '86:
ReplyDelete1) Magnum beats Flair to win the world title, Nikita beats Garvin to retain the U.S. Title, Blanchard beats Rhodes and the Warriors beat the Midnight Express
2) Magnum beats Nikita in a "I Quit" steel cage match to regain the U.S. Title while Flair beats Ron Garvin in a title vs. career match. Throw in the L.O.D. beating the Midnights in the Sky-Walkers match and Tully beating Dusty.
I tend to think option 2 was the way they were going. When Magnum was injured in early October, there had been nothing on television indicating they were going with Magnum vs. Flair. Had Magnum not been injured, I think he would have won the world title during the '87 Bash and dropped it to Flair at Starrcade '87.
I played both extensivley back in the day... just feeling nostalgic for when FF games didn't suck, and can't go back pre X because reading everything is too tiresome... just not sure I will stick with them long enough to get my 40 back.
ReplyDeleteI did, actually. I've been playing mostly on the PS Vita because I can't find time to commit to sitting on my TV, but a lot of the graphics are as good or improved from the original. The cut scenes look phenomenal.
ReplyDeleteI've been having a lot of fun with it, totally worth it for me, as the game is easily keeping my interest. Although, I've put it aside for a bit to play some baseball.
You mean

I really enjoyed the "My Sacrifice" videos back in the day... though I am so twisted I wanted to see an Owen one and when they got the the "Above all others I'll fly" portion of the lyrics show... well you know.
ReplyDelete1.0 on the Owen Scale
ReplyDeleteI read most of the 2 part shoot, but missed that part. Only question is, was she doing it behind harvey's back? or was he basically letting her/pimping her out?
ReplyDeleteYeah... even *I* find it in poor taste and it was my idea.
ReplyDeleteBecause HHH was ranked 19th. Was quite predictable this would happen tbf http://www.rspwfaq.net/2014/04/wwecoms-top-50-talkers.html#comment-1356562991
ReplyDelete"I certainly can't change it by sitting on my couch in Chicago."
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing... he might have done just that. At least on a small scale.
I have zero problems with Gertner being on the list.
ReplyDeleteWhy did I read that as blitzball?
ReplyDeleteMommy!!!! They're making fun of me. Tell them to stop! !!
ReplyDeleteTune into Nitro to find out!
ReplyDeleteToo bad you are not on speaking terms with her. OOPS!!
ReplyDeleteOh tag!
ReplyDelete:: Standing Ovation ::
ReplyDeleteI spend a good chunk of time just playing Blitzball on the game and delaying the rest of the story.
ReplyDeleteThe funniest thing ever is gonna be when he returns as a part timer and everyone's gonna welcome him back amd make excuses about him leaving.
ReplyDeleteThese are the same people that supported him for being "rebellious" and criticizing Rock and other part timers coming back and taking spots. I remember people saying "oh, he really cares about the business. He's sticking up for the full timers. BULLSHIT. He was pissed Rock took HIS spot.
It's gonna be so funny seeing the Punk apologists spin that one. I'm pretty sure I'll get banned when this happens
I've never played the FF games, but I have watch walkthroughs online and like what I've seen.
ReplyDeleteWhat's your theory?
ReplyDeleteNeeds a closing quote.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't say small scale. In a WWE where Punk was still around, Triple H would have beaten him at WM (because they weren't gonna put Punk over after he essentially told them he was leaving in June anyway), Bryan would be feuding with Kane or a heel turned Sheamus and Randy Orton would still be champion (because Batista taking time off after ER means they wouldn't give him the belt for a month).
ReplyDeleteHis departure necessitated a complete reshuffle of the deck.
I don't know, I think the Pittsburgh crowd turning on the Rumble match was the turning point for the reshuffling. And Punk only quit the day after.
ReplyDeleteIt strikes me as highly likely that this episode cemented Triple H's dislike for the guy, but even if you take into account the "precedent it would set" to take him back and all that, Triple H would play ball and bring him back.
ReplyDeleteHow?
ReplyDeleteThis is the only wrestling forum I view, so I might be missing something else out there. I thought people just supported the idea that Punk has every right to walk out and that even though he's a prick, we enjoy his work as a pro wrestling character.
ReplyDeleteCrowd shitting on RR+punk walking out+no WM opponent for HHH=Bryan angle we got.
ReplyDeleteLike I once said, if the stars aligned and Punk/Austin was set for WM 30, but Austin said that because of the ranch and the podcast and the TV show(s) and auditions for roles and all that, he could only commit to Rumble/Chamber/WM and a handful of TV tapings, would Punk have turned that down because Austin would only be a part-timer taking someone's spot?
ReplyDeleteFUCK NO.
who said he'd come back as a part timer?
ReplyDeleteNobody. I don't think he's done for good.
ReplyDeleteMeh. I think we were getting Bryan winning the title either way. Maybe not with all the HHH stuff but he was gonna get his "coronation" with or without punk being there
ReplyDeleteI don't either. But I think when he's done, he's done for good.
ReplyDeleteHeyman jokingly pushed for Austin/Lesnar for 31. That would be the shit
ReplyDeleteThat's too sensible. We can either love him or hate him. NO IN BETWEEN
ReplyDeleteNot a chance. Bryan needed HHH free to complete the story that was started at SummerSlam. That doesn't happen without Punk walking out.
ReplyDeleteThe games can be really hit or miss, especially lately. I think FFX was the last really great Final Fantasy game. I also really enjoyed 6, 7 and 9.
ReplyDeleteI also think it's pretty telling that Punk can be a complete shithead openly to fans in person and on Twitter and he's just Big Ol' Lovably Grumpy CM Punk, but if anyone ELSE gets into a pudding contest with a fan on Twitter or avoids/insults a fan after a show, they're an asshole.
ReplyDeleteThis is the guy who turned around and straight up decked a man in the fucking face, not knowing if it was the right guy and all for the cardinal sin of brushing against his shoulder in a crowd.
In addition to being a politician and a baby, he's also got some serious social and anger issues.
Everyone keeps saying that about X. I enjoy the game for Auron's character and hearing Wakka's voice because the same guys voices Bender on Futurama and Jake on Adventure Time.
ReplyDeleteI go 9, 6, 4, 5, 12, 10, 7, 3, 1, 2, 13, 8 (I don't rate the MMOs or "sequels")
ReplyDelete9 and 6 are close enough to basically be interchangeable, 12/10/7 are pretty close as a group, and 2/13/8 are the truly bad ones IMO.
Most underrated: 5. It's not perfect by any means, but it isn't horribly out of place compared to 6 or 4 either. 3 is also not too bad, but the DS version is my reference there.
Most overrated: 7, duh... it's good, but not THAT good. 13 (as a game, and as a "series") is just not fun.
AJ's engaged, so an "expanding" Parallax added her to his conquest list. If he hadn't done so already.
ReplyDelete(Disclaimer for the dense: THIS IS NOT SERIOUS.)
That's obvious!
ReplyDeletePretty much my view. Also, there's the little issue of the only "fact" being tossed around is his actual walking out... everything else seems to be hearsay of various degrees.
ReplyDeleteThere could easily be a thread on the greatness of 7 and how Tidus is portrayed in 10.
ReplyDelete7: Aeris dies, Cloud is a emo bitch, Sephiroth has a small penis.
ReplyDeleteNext.
