Jobber of the Week

You guys talking about "Smackdown becoming Cenadown" make me LOL and remind me of people complaining about "Raw is Austin" in 1996. But part of this is because I've long thought Cena was going to be the industry's next big star before it was trendy. The more you guys keep worrying about it makes me feel even smarter for seeing it coming.

It not so much the style that kills him. Even if he were allowed to do everything it wouldn't help because McMahon bought him thinking that mask = high-flying. Tazz: I don't know, I feel better that Tazz isn't able to suplex everyone into the hospital anymore. Broken necks are already enough fo a problem as it is. Cruiserweights: So much missed potential here. Jamie Noble and Nidia need to break up and Noble needs to find something new to do. I don't give a crap if Nidia is really blind or not, it makes no difference to me. Tajiri is good, but does nothing for me as CW Champ. Moore could have been the new Jeff Hardy daredevil character, but Creative has decided to have him bump around like a maniac for hosses, which provides all of the injuries and none of the draw using him properly would. Mysterio is Mysterio, which means he'll be over no matter what he's doing.

MacRumors has found that while this does do what it says it will, it's not exactly going to make anything playable. EDIT: Nevermind the bit that was previously here, it seems there's two different iTunes stories going around.

Sounds like they'll have to update the app and AAC format again with it.

That house is huge. I wouldn't mind using the Dungeon as a Hart tribute, but with something that big an owner could easily make the place into a museum that represents the whole business. Everything from the MLB to country music has a Hall Of Fame, why not pro wrestling? In a building of historical significance in one of wrestling's most popular regions. Whoever buys it should really talk to McMahon about getting such an idea going since he owns the tapes to just about everything and probably has a bunch of costumes, titles, etc all sitting in a big warehouse somewhere.

Yes but the booking was going there quite a while earlier. The weird thing is that's the one time that Lesnar had "The Chase," and there was really no payoff for his career. His first time the title was just about handed to him as a formality. They really worked out a real angle for this one and then followed it with "Uh, what now?"

It's not a God Push. Brock Lesnar was a God Push. He and Paul bragged about their victories and Brock never jobbed until injuries forced him to. He was supposed to just take out a big icon like Steve Austin just one random Raw. Granted, it hasn't taken him any further now than his natural size would have gotten him by this point, except he has a bunch of needless title wins that didn't draw (that WM19 title reign meant DICK and it was almost a relief when he lost it) I don't think Orton is getting a god push. I think it's a combination of someone backstage liking him and the pressure to create new stars.

I know the world doesn't hold the highest opinions of my President, and neither do I. But at least he has higher ambitions than wanting to retire and smoke pot all day. I think Paul Martin will do a better job, but I'm going to laugh if he suddently gets hounded about this Africa AIDS thing. "Hey, Bono said you would do that!"

Unless Vince has priority to sign the wrestlers coming out of it, why? It's sad, but so it goes. I can't even remember hearing about any recently debuting wrestlers coming out of the dungeon anyway.

Okay, while Mike is taking the flaming route, I want to speak about how I, as a person who's used to Japanese RPGs and hasn't played a PC RPG in his life outside of a one MMORPG that I never could really understand, enjoyed KOTOR and how you can too: Yes, they make Baldur's Gate, and I've never played one of those game and still don't want to. But this game just seems to work well on a console. You're using one stick to move, one stick to swivel the camera, and the pad to choose options on the little window at the bottom. You can learn battle skills such as various critical hits and use those when you feel it's appropriate. The Jedi characters can learn spells you choose to learn in what order. You need to learn Cure1 before you learn Cure2 and Cure3 for example (they don't call them that, but I'm using those terms to help you adjust better.) Also, the story isn't completely on rails as to what you choose to do. You know that you can be a good guy or a bad guy and the story of the game changes depending on that, but you can also go with melee fighters, people who fire guns behind you, etc. Instead of a Final Fantasy style menu with Attack, Item, Magic, etc you move the pad left and right through columns. Attack, special ability (such as critical hits), spells (if any), grenades and mines (useful for wiping out large groups) and Items such as health items, temporary stat boosters, etc. Up and down moves you through the items in these columns. In this sense, you can battle away while reaching for a health pack at the same time. You can even pause the action and queue commands, like cast lightning on this guy, use a health pack, then throw a grenade on this guy, then attack him. Yes, if you go down into the nuts and bolts of it there's a Dungeons & Dragons ruleset at work, and somewhere in the options you can even see the technical readouts of the rolls and everything. But I hate D&D games and as long as you don't want to go into the nitty gritty of that, you don't have to. All you have to do is look at a gun and see it's 18-21 firepower is better than this guns 12-16, and switch. Again, it's really early in the universe (there's plenty of people using actual steel swords for instance) so really all that exists are Good Jedi, Bad Jedi, and the alien breeds (which are pretty rare outside of a planet or two.) Do at least get to another planet before you decide to judge the game though. The first few hours are on a cliche'd Midgar style city (you know, rich people live on top, poor people live down below in the filth and disease) and most of your comrades are good guys who will chew you out if you try to go down the dark path. Once you get out of there and your party expands a bit, you can do a lot more freeform and the action is less directly linear.

If all seniors vote the way the AARP tells them to, does that mean all blacks vote the way Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and BET and the NAACP tell them to? I think you're oversimplifying here.

Yes, I wouldn't say that picture is among the Mona Lisa or the melting clocks when it comes to mainstream knowledge. What the hell?

He was back in the air before the news release was even sent about it. He saw about 600 of the 130,000+ soldiers in Iraq. I wouldn't be shocked if at least 400 of them were trained in shooting very long distances just in case.

Goldberg deserves all the shit that's thrown at him.

The heatless hoss should be Big Show. He went from jobbing to Jeff Hardy to suddently entering the main event title picture.

I don't know why RRR cares so much. The title has been diminished to shit.

Wow. It's like a long Hyatte column. Which means a LOT of faggotry. How this guy got to posting shit where people read it amazes me. I've seen better on Blogs.

What? How in the hell would you keep a trip like that secret to the military? Knowing when the President is visiting a foreign land and defending him if necesary is part of their job.

It's the principle of the thing.

I still don't think you really know what you're talking about. PSO has far more in common with Diablo and other PC kin than KOTOR.

It also appeared on twice as many systems than Tekken and Virtua Fighter combined.

Dude, on my last trip, I came to Las Vegas and guess who was at the door to the casino? That's right. John Aschroft. My trip went from great to abysmal when Ashcroft broke my knees, took me to jail, and read me scripture all night.

Good luck. Sega's World Series Baseball is generally considered the best console MLB game, and Sega abandoned GameCube the other year (their one baseball offering was the GameCube exclusive "HomeRun King" which was pretty lame compared to WSB). All-Star Baseball 2004 was cancelled when 3DO went bankrupt. MLB Slugfest is an arcade-style game. If you insist on using Nintendo, might as well head back to Griffey.

But Power Ranger logic makes WWE logic look like Hemingway and Tolstoy by comparison.
