You do realize that virtually none of the WWE folder people come down here, right.

That is so retarded to call something ice that isn't. Call it Cold Carbon or something.

I think the meaning of "moment" is being overlooked.

aint water Dude, ice is so water.

This thread was terrible until the conflict started.

Oooooooh, I like that. Have Orton and Benjamin and Haas and the young dudes come out and celebrate. Then have Undertaker (as the biggest face that's part of the old guard) come out and raise their hands or whatever, pointing at them and saying they're #1 and all that, just to hammer it home. I'd like it even more if they actually followed through with such a symbolic statement and kept the philosophy going.

Crash/Taka was actually pretty good on Jakked back in the day.

In the December 1994 issue (I think), they had a two page spread about Vince's appearance on some interview program and went on about steroids for the duration. This was after the trial was over I think, but still.

Okay, you buy that house he has.

You still feel it was phony? Is ANYTHING ever good enough for Benoit to you, to the degree that the first real emotion shown on WWE television since Foley's match at NWO 2000 has to be a fake show?

You refuse to enjoy him despite his ability to make money and draw, which is a oft-used reason to not like people. Then you mask your inability to understand the character by saying you have good taste. This probably means that you think wrestling is very serious business and crafting cerebral material with sensational matches will lead to a new golden era, which it won't. Whatever, I'm not going any further. This'll get worse (and turn into a tired smark/anti-smark argument) before it gets better.

Why are there so many friggin' different caps/uniforms? Whatever happened to home/away? Yeesh. I can understand different spring training uniforms I guess, but nothing much else needs to be done.

'cept dry ice.

This was pretty good.

You just said you don't want to enjoy it because it's boring to you. I think that's a refusal.

Yeah, I'm sure Eddie and Chris were faking it.

That's my point. The older fans are retards with no taste. By that, you mean the loyal fanbase who've been there the whole time? I mean the retards who cheer for him as a face, and the retarded face things he does to be "cool". Dude, you're proving me right with each post. You and a lot of the internet refuse, kicking and screaming all the way, to enjoy things that might actually MAKE MONEY and DRAW FANS, which are the two manifest functions of everything in a wrestling program, just because YOU don't like or understand it. As I said, it's really a matter of thinking relatively and opening your mind instead of pissing and moaning about things that are helping prolong the financial and practical health of your pastime of professional wrestling, something you presumably enjoy greatly or else you wouldn't be here. I'm tempted to just use the quick (and most correct) fix and say "buncha white boys don't get it," but this is a problem that extends to way more than Cena's current character. Whether it's genius storylines and ****+ emotional matches or dumb shit and garbage brawls, I'm for anything that will draw. It shows that they're doing something right and leaves the door open for other things being done correctly and a general blossoming of product quality again if all the pieces fall into place. Still, before the other things can add on, you have to have that first bit that draws interest and eventually money. Cena's showing some ability to do what others have failed to do, so I'm all for him being put into the position he is now, and I'm damn sure for anything that will further enhance his character and in turn make fans more interested in him. What's going to grab a casual viewer (the true lifeblood of a boom period), seeing a couple'a guys having a 20-minute technical tour de force (nothing wrong with that at all) or some dude ripping a guy apart with a freestyle rap, spinning his belt ("A SPINNER WRESTLING BELT? Holy shit dude, keep it here, I've gotta see this guy"), and then beating him with a few signature moves that play to the crowd like nuts?

What's this "we" stuff? Seriously, though... The reason history isn't taught very well in schools is because teachers are often given huge district ciriculum standards and are told to cover the whole thing, rather than picking and choosing what's the most important things. Thus, topics like WWII are not gotten to until May when there's little time to spend on them. Even sometimes when district's prioritize topics, often things like the social consequences of the industrial revolution (important, but not essential) are given first priority, and the teachers are again left without enough time to cover WWII. Another alarming trend is that teachers in some states are forced to rush through everything to meet state assessment deadlines, while other states do not require students to be tested in history at all. Add this to the fact that many history teachers are coaches, thus lacking the time to devote to lesson planning, and you've got a recipe for societal ignorance. You bitch about societal ignorance and then say that social reprecussions of historical paradigm shifts aren't essential. Make up your mind and pick up a book. The Industrial Revolution is one of the four (some say five) truly world-changing things to go down. Recognize. Pure events are mostly irrelevant and societal trends yield a much greater understanding into things.

Hey Billy, try less of a fucking racist piece of shit topic title next time.

I thought this was going to have something to do with college itself and how more and more people I talk to have no idea why they're there.

Well, it WAS during the first season, which they never did reruns of because the crew all agreed it was really bad.

I wish they'd admit that about the films also. If it were really meant to be super-serious and shit (which it does already, but in a different way) it'd have much more gruesome things and a PG-13 rating or something. "For kids and younger people" is part of what enters into my idea of the serialized films from the early part of the 20th century anyway, so I readily admit it. Commado Cody was shown in like 2/3 of the first season MST episodes, but that's the only way I've seen any of it. And I really hate the -ie ending, because it makes Star Wars fans sound like Star Trek fans, who are by default MUCH worse.

Yeah, when a wrestler has a custom belt, it's just begging to have a feud set up around its theft or something. Readymade. I should add that what I meant up there about smark nerds not getting it was pertaining to the sort of popular culture which Cena portrays in his character.

You did not just use the term "Warsie."

Oh yeah, almost forgot Linda rising from the chair. That shit was crazy.
