MAN, that whole discussion was brutal. Who fucking cares?

Alves' leg kicks might be MY answer. They're so boss.

There is absolutely nothing to indicate this. In fact, the only logical conclusion is that the EC is less prestigious, since none of the men in it could win the Royal Rumble and all are using it as a second chance. Your argument that "WWE will promote HHH winning in the Chamber as more important than the Rumble" is completely predicated on the belief that HHH will win the EC, when there's zero indication he'll even be involved. Every part of your "logic" is nothing more than speculative.

I was going to say the same thing. Not that I want pbone gone; I just don't see either of these posters as anything more than occasional and innocuous. I do not get pbone's hate for Kristianna. Is she an Ultimate Communist?

Maybe let Alves and Fitch fight each other? I know it's been done, but I wouldn't mind seeing it again.

1. You don't need to quote my post when it's directly above yours. 2. You're not still dealing, are you? With the kid on the way and all.

Not especially. Way to roll with drug dealers.

heh

Hot. Despite living there for some time, I'm fairly anti-Wisconsin, but man, do they know drinking.

Hey, should I get a new avatar? And if so, what?

Wait, why are YOU upset? No one's even mentioned you.

Why is every word of this post capitalized? Heh. Karen's damn hot. I don't really give two flips about her as a character, which is probably a bad sign. But she's hot, so yay!

New guy, why did you quote my post? Hoff: "This might be all right, or it might not." New Guy: "NO IT WAS BULLSHIT!" I'm not saying you're wrong, it just seemed an odd choice as I'm not really defending the angle.

Hmm. I had abandoned this quest, but it may be worth revisiting. If nothing else, I can replace the Marvin line I'm rocking, which was amusing Monday but has fallen exponentially every day since.

POORLY EXECUTED. I mean it was fine, I just don't get the deception for half the promo and THEN the big reveal. Survivor Series is over; either you're hiding your motives or you aren't. I think Vickie's heel turn would also have been better served as a part of the Cutting Edge, or at least done in front of the live audience. Plus, Vickie's still not a very good actress, even by WWE standards, although your mileage may very. Anyway, Vickie being not such a looker is not the problem here. As for the angle itself, I don't think it's great or terrible. It's something relatively fresh, so whatever, I'll roll with it.

Yeah, America sucks!

Thiago Alves said on Sherdog raido that the UFC apparently wants him to fight Gono next. !!! I'd be all over that. Leg kicks vs. trickery, plus I mark for both guys.

Thanks for the link, Mik.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But it has oil, vinegar AND mayo! SIGN ME UP. Seriously, I've never heard of this. What meat DOES it have? Is it bigger, or different somehow from a normal sub? Please, enlighten us.

I think with the talent exchange, the best bet might be someone coming over from Smackdown, just because I agree with you that ECW needs some new blood. Noble would be a good feud. I'd personally like to see a feud with Tommy, down the line, that would lead to a heel turn, although I don't know what ECW face Punk would feud with then.

The "Batista is easier to beat" excuse doesn't hold water with me, because if that's the case, there was no reason for the post-match beatdown of Taker. I'll buy the "getting to Taker before Taker came after him" line of thought, but with a couple caveats. One, Edge didn't look pleased with himself; he looked angry, in his facial expressions, as though he had a personal issue with Taker. The "I'm just a little bitter" promotional spots line up with this. Two, in the world of kayfabe, Edge didn't "injure" Taker the way, say, MVP injured Hardy. He roughed him up, hit him with a chair, but nothing that would cause Taker to be weakened long term. If anything, this only provokes Taker, causing Edge to be more on Taker's radar than he'd be if he had left him alone. Maybe I'm overthinking; then again, I wish the booking team put MORE thought into this sort of thing. We'll see what Thursday brings in terms of an explanation, but for the time being I'm not really seeing the logic in Edge's actions.

Wow. Watching Santino's old gimmick makes me a little sad; it looks entertaining, and the guy actually looks like he'd have decent matches if they let him do some of those moves.

HA! At least that'd be something to go off of.
