Hoff

I'm really annoyed by the way WWE is promoting "can you break the code?" Ignore the fact that T3H D4MN INT3RN3T broke it weeks ago. They've put as many Jericho references as they can into it, effectively killing the mystery. There's no "code" to break.

I thought the main was pretty bad, myself. Slow, plodding, uninteresting. Good finishing sequence, but not much beforehand. I also wasn't a fan of the way Edge returned, mainly because he has no kayfabe reason to hate the Undertaker. He came off as a mega heel, though. Good show overall. Opener was hot, lots of great spots to pop the crowd and set a tempo. SS match had a nice flow to it, and the WWE Title match had a lot of cool spots which worked within the stipulations of the match. I'd give MOTN honors to either the WWE or ECW title matches, take your pick, but nothing was outright bad (save the main in my book, but most people seem to have liked it, so).

I don't mind this schedule. 14 is less than one every four weeks, although they don't have it set up that way, but it doesn't really feel like overload. Plus, the two "extra" shows (ONS/Cyber) are themed, so there's added incentive to buy (in theory). NYR didn't have that, so it's probably good it got the axe. EDIT: No, 14 is more than one every four weeks. My bad. Still, I don't mind the current setup. They could, in theory, axe ONS, since the rules are ignored in half of all matches anyway, but I won't complain too loudly at this.

Say someone was poor, or just cheap. Anyone know a good way to see the undercard bouts?

If they run an injury angle, I think they can stretch it to Mania. Have Matt get his comeback match against MVP at Rumble, win by DQ, then you just gotta find some way to get past No Way Out (which admittedly might be tricky) and boom, blowoff @ Mania.

I always had trouble with handicap matches on No Mercy. I tried more than a few tactics, but it seems like once you get taken down, you're easy prey. Quick Man's stage in Mega Man II always drove me batty. FUCKING BEAMS STOP HITTING ME!! I always refused to use the Time Stopper b/c I knew what it'd do to Quick Man, so in a way it's my own fault, but I hated that level for so long. I hated fighting Mike Tyson (or Mr. Dream) in Punch-Out! until a few years ago. I finally beat him, but little kid Hoff yelled and cried many times fighting that asshole.

Best use of Rick Roll in a long time. Nicely done, Mecca.

That looks fake to me. You can totally see the shadows.

I heard more of a New York accent than a Canadian one, but to be fair, I'd wager CNN's voice distortion techniques are more advanced than "slow it down lol!"

To be fair, it was largely a means to an end. They needed to get Michael, and Dwight, out of the office for some reason to allow Jim to step into Michael's role.

Oh, fuck off. Ha! Aw, cheech, let's be friends.

Wow, really? If you've had that sand in your vagina the whole time, you might want to call your gynecologist. Story: I made some joke thread in GC, snuffbox called it lame, I sent him that PM, he called me l4m3 and what not, words were exchanged, and we went our separate ways. Little did I know the grudge would be harbored for what I'm pretty sure is years (plural) by now.

Point to me, using direct quotes if possible, the part where I call it a brilliant idea. I ask you to use direct quotes because you can't.

Are you nominating yourself, for defending Marvin? Because that is pretty stupid. Actually, it's more just futile. Like trying to put out a forest fire with a garden hose.

Here's the deal. Starting now, until the end of November, I'm looking for the most idiotic thing said at TSM. This thread will serve as a nomination thread of sorts; it will also be a public forum, where the intellectual elite can debate over the worst lines, while the brain-impaired can plead their cases. I'm not limiting this to any one part of the board. WWE folder, Movies/TV, Sports, LSD, Chocolate Socket...it's all fair game. And no one is safe or should be exempt. I mean, we all know who the frontrunners are, but even smart, well-respected posters have their moments. 100 Reasons the WWE Folder Sucks, I'm looking at YOU. As of December 1, I will choose a winner based on your debate and my own personal sentiements. Then we'll begin again, with a new winner each month. The TSM Dumbass of the Month. CAN YOU HANDLE IT? This'll go until we tire of it. And if it never takes off, no harm, no foul. But I think it's important to be able to laugh at ourselves, and more importantly, to be able to laugh at other people. Good luck, and may the worst man win.

Oh, fuck it WOULD be the page cutoff. And it rocked, IIRC.

But, try not to answer #4.

Question which doesn't warrant a thread! Which "Carol of the Bells" do you guys prefer: 1. Trans-Siberian Orchestra 2. Mannheim Steamroller 3. original 4. shut up h0m0f4g

It looks interesting, but corny in places. I heard the same story Mole did, but I'm still gonna check it out. I like that Rock just got billed as Dwayne Johnson, since that seems to be something he wants, and I'm a big fan of his.

hey yo

Wow, this is so off-topic, my apologies, BUT: I've always felt this was like what kind of milk you drink, in so far as you'll prefer what you grew up on. I prefer the NES version, and find the arcade largely unplayable. Same with Contra. But, I was a child of NES, and I know a lot of people on both sides of the coin. It's weird.

Of course. "MexicanLeo" seems more appropriate... Outstanding.
