I'm reading his wiki and his origin story sounds pretty crazy

107 - 104 = derp

[iamabadman]

that feel when you want to fight the dragon, but you'll prolly be hanging sheetrock while the dragon comes and you'll miss its epic drops

[DroppinSuga]

You can't keep a good man down.

[DroppinSuga]

Anyone here watch WWE?

[Bhikku]

:O

[Second Harkius]

Anyone here watch WWE?

baguy and I though baguy claims to have ragequit over CM Punk losing the title to the Rock

[Second Harkius]

The Shield losing cleanly on Smackdown is poor booking. I can't believe the WWE did that.

[Second Harkius]

TNA is a better show since their program is more geared towards adults

[Second Harkius]

They've also got better technical wrestlers (even if their wrestlers aren't always as good on the mic)

[Second Harkius]

WWE has some legit great performers like Daniel Bryan and Chris Jericho, higher production values, better entrance music, more exposure, but TNA has a stronger tag and women's division, not to mention the insane X-division matches.

[Kaitscralt]

lol

[Second Harkius]

Daniels and Kazarian are the best tag team working today.

[Second Harkius]

lol

Madding, confounded by a topic he has no interest in, could only muster up a 'lol'

[Second Harkius]

I give him props for trying to enter the conversation on at least some level though

[Second Harkius]

It means he cares about our interests enough to try and mock them

[Second Harkius]

I mean maybe some folks would find that unhealthy or "internet mean" but here it's par for the course.

[Second Harkius]

If he wasn't doing it, it would be me, or kpaca, or kijin, or whoever else.

[Second Harkius]

My top WWE performers:

Jericho (still great even years after the Attitude Era)
Daniel Bryan (Benoit 2.0 but better on the mic)
Mark Henry (he used to be a joke years ago but he turned into a solid heel)

[DroppinSuga]

I tend to agree about the TNA vs WWE thing, but TNA has some of the stupidest booking at times. It's maddening.

I mean, WWE's booking is subpar most of the time as well, but it tends to hold my interest.

Punk's return tonight is what this PPV is all about. The product has been fairly stale without him around. The Shield, D Bryan, Damien Sandow and Jericho have been the bright spots. I'm looking forward to the Wyatt family debuting as well.

And Dean Ambrose.

[DroppinSuga]

Daniel Bryan is more charismatic than Benoit was though.

[Second Harkius]

The worst WWE performers:

Great Khali (has one move: CHOP!)
Tons of Funk (Albert, how low you've fallen)

and obviously

John Cena (has only five moves yet wins every match, stale gimmick, lame on the mic, THE CHAMP....IS.....QUEER!!!!!)

[DroppinSuga]

Don't forget to add Randy Orton as a face to that list. Talk about boring.

Are you buying Payback? Extreme Rules was only 3 weeks ago which is why the build-up to this PPV felt so rushed.

But you're right, TNA has some bad angles (Aces and Eights going on forever, Hulk Hogan hogging the airtime, the Jersey Shore guy) but as a whole I prefer their show. They have more
respect for their audience than WWE which always feels like the writers are making shit up as they go along (read Bleacher Report for inside info on how screwy the WWE creative team is)

[Second Harkius]

He's boring as a face for sure (I only got back into the WWE this spring after 12 years away but I already find him boring). Sheamus sucks worse though. He's such a goofy stereotype (pasty ginger Irish dude who brawls a lot and yells FELLLLAAAAAA every match)

[Second Harkius]

Plus the Brogue Kick is a weak finisher. So uninspired.

[Second Harkius]

The Payback preshow is on now so there's a 99% chance that Sandow jobs to Sheamus for like the 10th time this year.

I'm not buying Payback. $55 (in HD) for something that could possibly suck is just something I'm not willing to do. I tend to only buy the "big" PPVs (Rumble, Wrestlemania, Summerslam). I enjoy Money in the Bank as well. If we were more financially stable at the moment, I'd plop the cash down based solely on Punk's return. I really hope that the rumors of Punk turning full-fledged face tonight aren't true though. His work as a top level heel can go on so much longer without getting stale, so there's no reason.

[DroppinSuga]

Sandow belongs in the upper mid-card. Not jobbing to Sheamus. Ugh.

[Second Harkius]

ha ha someone in the audience has an "I MISS LITA" sign


i miss her too, friend, i miss her too.

[Second Harkius]

Sandow belongs in the upper mid-card. Not jobbing to Sheamus. Ugh.

Too many great heels are buried right now (Cesaro, Barrett, Sandow, Rhodes)

[DroppinSuga]

Don't even get me started on Cesaro.

[Second Harkius]

Add Antonio Cesaro to my list of top performers. That guy is a fantastic wrestler.

[Second Harkius]

Maybe Zeb Colter will manage him? I'd love to see that

[DroppinSuga]

All your talk of TNA makes me want to watch my best of the X-Division DVD. It's from the early days when Daniels, Samoa Joe and Styles were the top dogs in X.

PPVs used to be 30$ when I was a kid.

Punk might turn face tonight. I read an unconfirmed report that Jericho will turn heel.
