WWE General Discussion for August 2007
The Metal Maniac replied to DrVenkman PhD's topic in The WWE Folder
So winning a match that Austin wasn't even personally involved in is killing his legend? By making him not the GM? Cuz Austin MADE his name as a GM, right? Yeah, I'm being picky and anal, but fuck, do I ever hate that gimmick. -
Neo vs the huge horde of Smiths in Revolutions. Darth Vader vs Luke Skywalker in Return of the Jedi. Tony Jaa's character vs the Capoeria dude in Tom Yum Goong. See? Awesome. I mean, the entire movie is awesome fight scenes practically, but I find that one the most impressive. Oh, and I just realized now that you can't make it out in this video, but the dude has "PRAY" carved into his chest. Badass.

What do you see when you close your eyes
The Metal Maniac replied to At Home's topic in No Holds Barred
When I close my eyes, I can see strange characters running around chasing colorful geometric shapes in a dark and infinite limbo. I have stopped closing my eyes. -
What do you completely and utterly suck at?
The Metal Maniac replied to Copper Feel's topic in No Holds Barred
I've actually mastered the art of un-awkward silence. I mean, it might be awkward to anyone else around me, but I've moved beyond that. -
So I went to Wendy's the other day to discover that they finally have a new specialty chicken sandwich...and it's not so great. They add two slices of mozza cheese (good) and some sort of "creamy parmesan sauce". Not so good. God, why don't they bring back the Big Mountain Chicken or whatever the fuck it was called? That needs to be a permanent item.

Sports. Hated them as a child. I can throw/catch a frisbee, but beyond that, it gets really, really sad. Directions. I've only ever lived in one place my entire life. This place is just on the outskirts of a city. I *still* get lost when driving through said city. Being sociable. -
I saw a news report on TV the other day that was talking about how bottled water is basically the exact same thing as tap water. But they were saying it in such a way that it was like, they *just* found out. And they felt they HAD to put this on the fucking evening news, because your average person is apparantly too dumb to have figured that out years ago.

How hard is it to install the flip-top thing on a PS2? I don't know crap about that sort of thing. Is it just take one off, put the other one on, boom boom you're done? Or is it more complex?

Bonnie Hammer submitting ideas to Vince
The Metal Maniac replied to Atticus Chaos's topic in The WWE Folder
I will never, never, EVER, fathom this mentality. WHY should WWE be more like an action show? There's HUNDREDS of action shows on TV. 90% of them probably have better actors. Probably better effects too. Why would they want to compete with something like that? Why don't they wake the fuck up and realize that there's hundreds of action shows on TV, but exactly TWO wrestling companies with any kind of TV time? If people want to watch action shows, they'll watch ACTION SHOWS. If they wanna watch wrestling, they won't watch anything, because WWE is trying to NOT be a wrestling show. Asinine. -
WWE General Discussion for July 2007
The Metal Maniac replied to Hunter's Torn Quad's topic in The WWE Folder
A ban on any sort of chokehold? They just made the fucking SLEEPER HOLD illegal. -
Yeah, the treatment of Venom in SM3 really pissed me off...especially since they never fucking explained him. Had I not already known all about Venom's character, I woulda sat there going "WTF is going on?" Hell, I *did* wonder WTF was going on, since the symbiote made Eddie Brock about 17 times bigger, but Parker stayed the same size.
-
And parts of III. "The Chancellor is evil!" "From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!" Fucking PAINFUL. Hate that.

Chris Benoit Dead - Toxicology results released
The Metal Maniac replied to Human Fly's topic in The WWE Folder
Wait; can you actually stop the media from covering/being at the funeral? Like, do you think if Nancy's family went out and asked the media to please go away, because they don't want them here, they'd actually do it? -
What if? (Historical Events version)
The Metal Maniac replied to Scarlett_Rayne's topic in Current Events
That, plus the fact that they suddenly had a bunch of French soldiers going "Hey, we're fighting for these people to become independent and run their own government...but we stil have to listen to whatever the King tells us. That doesn't make sense..." -
I still can't fathom why anyone on earth would think "Ah-ha, now I'll sandbag, and point MY HEAD TOWARDS THE GROUND, and he'll drop me on my back," or why he'd even jump for the powerbomb if he intended to make Brock look like a dick, but whatever. I've at least learned that no one ever actually outright said that's what happened, so it's a lot of speculation. That works for me. I didn't mean to take this right off topic though. Brock Lesnar kicked ass, and I miss him. Though I am interested in seeing what he's capable of in MMA.
-
You do realize that neither of those actually states for sure that the incident was caused by Holly sandbagging, right? Lots of maybe's and probably's, but no "I know what happened", save for Holly, who's word I wouldn't take at face value on the issue anyway.
-
But again, Holly is not fucking retarted. He would've known full well that, if he sandbagged at that time, he would've ended up hanging upside down, and Brock would've had no choice but to drop him on his head. I don't think Holly was so intent on making Lesnar look like an ass that we was willing to risk his own career/life to do so. Had he sandbagged at the start, sure Lesnar could've tried something else, but it also would've made it look like Lesnar couldn't even powerbomb Hardcore Holly, which would've made Lesnar look like a dick and accomplished just what Holly was trying to do. Honest question: Has anyone within the biz who would actually know, ever said that Holly sandbagging is what happened? I've only heard people talk about it, but I've never heard of it coming from a reliable source.
-
But that makes no sense whatsoever. Hardcore Holly is not fucking retarted. He knew exactly what would've happened had he done that deliberately. And why would he sangbag *then*, and not when he was still on his feet, when he coulda make Brock look like a total ass, assuming that was his intention? It looks to me like it was more an accident of timing. He gets up, and then Holly, thinking Brock is gonna drop him sooner then he does, gets ready for it, which shifts his weight, and since Brock *wasn't* dropping him at the time, it fucked everything all up.
-
I still don't fathom that. He had Holly up for the powerbomb. If Holly sandbagged, Lesnar wouldn't have been able to get him up in that position in the first place. He had him up, then he sort of hesitated, and then he dropped him on his head. I'm not trying to blame Lesnar or anything for it, but I don't see the sandbagging thing.
-
Bullshit. I'm not gonna claim the guy was some charisma God, but to claim he had none? That's asinine. If he had no charisma, how the fuck did he get *cheered* when wrestling the Rock, and Lesnar was the heel? Kurt Angle. So horribly sloppy that there's TWO whole examples of him hurting someone. One of which was himself. Yeah, that asshole. How dare he not be perfect and execute every single move without hurting anyone, ever? I fail to see what that has to do with anything, as an F-5 is not a TKO. Two different, albeit similar, moves. And you gotta figure the F-5 is the harder one to pull off, since with a TKO, all you really have to do is get buddy's leg off your shoulder and hit a Diamond Cutter, whereas with an F-5, he's gotta throw the guy up and over his own head.

Movie moments that gave/give you chills *Spoilers throughout*
The Metal Maniac replied to Angle-plex's topic in Television & Film
"Now! Offer me money" "Yes." "Power too, promise me that!" "All that I have, and more...please..." "Offer me everything I ask for." "Anything you want." "I want my father back, you sunnavabitch!" "You feelings for them are strong. Especially for...sister! So...you have a twin sister. Obi-Wan was wise to hide her from me. Now his failure is complete. If you will not be turned to the Dark Side, then perhaps she will..." "NO!!" -
The energy is good. The toxic by-products that stay deadly for thousands of years are not so great.

Best: Prolly the first time I did E, actually, which is weird because I'm not a fan of the stuff. Basically, some buddies of mine took me to this after-hours "water bar", I did some E, and I proceeded to dance to house music for about 5 hours. Considering that, prior to this point, I hated both house music and dancing, it was a remarkable feat. (For the record, I still don't like dancing, but I've gained something of an appreciation for House). I was told afterwards that I was dancing with the hottest girl in the whole bar. I was unaware of such a fact at the time. All I knew was WHOMPWHOMPWHOMPWHOMP. Just insane. I can remember alomost losing it everytime a new song got mixed in, because the beat would slowly start to fade, and just before you have enough time to think "What the fuck is the DJ doing?", BOOM. I also remember that at one point, I realized that I had been dancing for about 4 hours. Though I didn't feel tired, I knew I probably was, because it was about 6 AM, and, like I said, dancing for 4 hours. So I went and sat down, and stayed sitting down for about 45 seconds, and I couldn't take it anymore. I had to dance. Insane stuff. Worst: Does booze count in terms of this? Cuz I've never really had a bad trip on anything illicit, but holy shit alcohol ruins me. The worst was probably the time I totally blacked out in the bar and (I'm told) went to some chick to ask her to dance. So we're dancing until her boyfriend comes back. "What're you doing dancing with my girlfriend?" says the guy who's about twice my size. "If she's YOUR girlfriend, what's she doing dancing with me?" says the stupid drunk idiot. My friends got me outta there before I had my head smashed in. Oddly, though I have no recollection of those events, I can quite clearly remember walking outside the bar, asking why we left in such a hurry. Or maybe the time that I woke up in a bathtub, on my back, with puke on my sweater. That was the day I realized booze was not for me.

K, honest question: If a cop tells a girl (any girl) to sit down, with just cause, as there was a lot of shit going on, and she refuses and walks away, and he then insists that she come sit down because she's now under arrest, and she again refuses, what's he supposed to do? Just say "okay", and walk away? I mean, I'm not directly advocating choking 13-year-olds for kicks, but if a cop tells someone to do something, and they don't do it, he has to do *something* about it. If cops just let people flagrantly disobey them, then what would be the *point* of having cops? And these kids knew damn full well they weren't supposed to be skateboarding there. They were trying to start shit, and it worked.

"You're arresting me for riding a skateboard?" "For resisting arrest. Disorderly conduct. Interference with a law enforcement officer." "For riding a skateboard?" Fucking tards.
