Jobber of the Week

I'm not linking him with fundies, I'm linking him with idiots who build straw men. This is like if we saw a documentary movie re-enacting a real life event, and Morgan Freeman plays the President. I say, "Gee, I don't remember any black Presidents" and then you tell me "YOU DON'T THINK A BLACK MAN SHOULD BE PRESIDENT! YOU ARE SUCH A RACIST!" That is called a straw man. You are twisting the arguement's view to try and make the person making the arguement look bad. Is the book classified as non-fiction and I didn't know it or something? I don't hate Christians, I have a dislike for people who try to preach it for me, and use the Bible to teach hate and violence which I don't think should be it's true purpose. Never have I disliked someone soley because they believe in God. When in the hell did I say that?

If he wants to say he find it offensive, then hey sure. But he's pulling out the word libel, which is a very strong claim when the characters involved all exist as a matter of faith. Also, libel implies that there was intentional attempt to ruin someone's good name. That part gets people confused and sends a lot of libel cases out of court. ...But, the part of Tyler's arguement I simply must disagree with is the strawman he's built: Poster: Hey, maybe this guy's got a right to type this stuff. Poster 2: I don't like it myself, but I don't think it's worthy of totally banning it. Tyler: JESUS HATERS!

In less than 24 hours, over twice as many posts as the David Blaine thread, and three pages. I swear there's something about Jesus Threads in Current Events that causes massive amounts of replies. EDIT: I really have nothing to say about the book. The author doesn't sound like he's all there, but to quote James Carville, "I'm not going to be one of those right-wingers who stands around boycotting a movie they've never seen."

DEY JUSS' GIVIN UP. What happened to this franchise anyway? It all went downhill after Fallout 2.

Hogan is one of those things that works only when he has the right opponent. "20 years in the making" or not, the crowd at Seattle was sitting on their hands for Hulk vs Vince, only going "OHHHH!" when something like the ladder came out. During the popular "bloody Vince rises up from under the mat" shot, the guy directly behind me complimented the camerawork for that shot. Which is to say nobody gave a shit about that match. And they weren't like tired or anything either, because people popped big for Austin vs Rock right after.

I agree to an extent, I have watched perfectly blah normal Raws that become bad Raws by reading the one & only thread. But I doubt I could watchng something especially stupid alone like the Hogan motorcycle bit or this stupid Test angle without busting out in laughter.

Yeah, the guy who plays the brother of a character called The Undertaker and tells people to burn in hell is an awfully religious dude. Right. Then again, I guess weirder things have happened.

SmackDown: Nobody knows, but the angles are being written by the WWE Creative team themselves now instead of Yukes. WM XIX: Perform a goal like destroy a car or knock a guy off a platform or make someone bleed. Actual wrestling is purely secondary. After doing enough tedious tasks you'll supposedly get to Mania or something. I never got that far so I don't know what happens. Raw 2: The idea is to start at the first Raw of May and get to WrestleMania. Each month consists of one Raw, one SmackDown, and a PPV. You have a popularity rating and a stamina meter which seems to carry over somehow into match stamina. For instance, I ambushed Rey Mysterio as Shannon Moore and beat the living hell out of him, which did a little damage to my stamina but nearly wiped his out. I defeated him pretty easily in the ring.

Never played DJV so I can't tell you.

Holy shit the amount of control over entrances and stage and fog and shit is incredible. Some evidence will be posted of this when I can.

I've rented XIX and Raw 2. XIX had some great matches to watch, but the overall presentation just wasn't that greate. I saw guys no-selling finishers for god sakes. Raw 2 continues it's standard of AMAZING depth of CAW and mediocore gameplay. Maybe when I get used to the controls it will improve, but at least the presentations have gone up as there's not just one goddamn set anymore. SD seems to have all the fixins. I watched IGN's video of an Elimination Chamber match and it actually looks fun.

I think this would be good. Hogan would drive Russo out of the company, and there's only so long that Hogan can keep going and he'd leave shortly after.

Great. Now if only a better than crap-ass verison of the current Evolution theme was around. Oh well.

Post it and I'll give it a shot, thanks.

Eagan, if you can, can you rip the bastardized Matt Hardy song? It has the keyboard and whooooop sound effects at the beginning that I can add to the Monster Magnet song to make a proper theme for the game. Thanks.

I want to thank Eagan again for putting this up here. I just put it in my Raw 2 game as Lance's new song. LOL.

Ah, so John Cena's theme really doesn't repeat as often as it does in WM XX. Interesting.

Am I the only one who would look at the front and assume it was a House Of Blues shirt? Because that's what it looks like.

Played it. Blows so hard. Not like the latest WWE games blow, but like how the last Batman game blows or thereabouts. If I bought it, there would have been a new thread here with nasty statements like "DECAYING HAM SANDWICH!" to express my anger. Viewtiful Joe interests me with it's Power Ranger looking themes, but the gameplay just isn't my thing. I've never cared for R.E., so I guess Killer 7 is all I got left to look forward to.

Wow. I expected you guys to know this already. I mean, you're the smart marks, etc. Some kind of know it alls you are.

WHAT DID THEY DO TO THE REAL WARRIOR?!

Alright, I figured this wouldn't make it off the ground, and that's okay. You people pulling my skin off forgot the word "considering" in the title. I guess I'll just turn off the set myself and endure until this damn reign is over. And no, JasonX, Goldberg is not the lesser of two evils.

According to archive.org's old copies of the Stampede site, 5'10/190. Kid isn't bad, but isn't awesome or anything either. A first step to improvement would be finding wrestling gear that doesn't look like you're wearing tinfoil.

That was actually Undertaker who said that old line, not HHH. I can't wait to see the Jericho pinatas.
