    Retrospective Moments Thread

    It'd be cool if they did it right. Austin only got thrown off the bridge because, IIRC, Austin threw Rock's belt off a bridge and when Rock tried to reciprocate, Austin arrived and got tossed off the bridge in the process. Plus they replayed the angle during the Invasion with Austin tossing Kurt Angle into a kiddie pool on a bridge to laugh at him for thinking Austin was going to chuck him off the bridge.

    The 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania Thread

    Women's title by a mile, but for the tag belts I wouldn't be surprised if they just let the champions wear one Raw title and one Smackdown title for a couple months (ala the Undisputed title being 2 belts until they eventually came out with a unified Undisputed title belt).

    Wrestling Quirks

    This one is all Vince's fault. The escape rule was put in for some retarded reason, and killed the premise of the match. Although it does still serve as a mild deterrent to a gang run-in. The reason behind the escape rule (from what I can tell) is to make it so you have to beat the guy so badly that he can't prevent you from escaping. Remember, in a regular match you only have to keep him down for 3 seconds. In a cage though, it takes a lot more than 3 seconds to climb out so you theoretically have to beat your opponent worse than you would in a regular match. It's a good idea in theory. I always figured it was because the two combatants had heat with one another to such an extent that it was unsafe to lock a scrawny referee inside a steel cage with them, and therefore the only way to declare a winner was to see who managed to leave the cage first. Seriously, can you envision somebody like Mike Chioda reffing a UFC bout? He'd jump in to stop the fight, catch a fist on the jaw and wake up in 2037.

    The Agent of Oblivion question of the day

    I can whistle inhaling and exhaling, but no fingers-in-the-mouth, tongue-against-teeth, whatever other ways there are I can't do them. One of us has to be able to do the fingers-in-the-mouth whistle, they just don't want the responsibility of explaining how the fuck it works to the rest of us.

    WWE Raw - March 2, 2009

    Edgeacator! Nothing more than a side-saddle Sharpshooter, but still, good to see submission wrestling.

    WWE Raw - March 2, 2009

    Don't worry, if the match ends they'll show us the finish as soon as they get back.

    WWE Raw - March 2, 2009

    They can use up to 15 minutes, if the last couple of RAWs have been any indication. Edge up to 241? What a fatty.

    If Taker wants to retire, I can see this happening.

    WWE Raw - March 2, 2009

    He wrestles like a shooter, he just does whatever move comes to mind without any flow or designated signature spots.

    WWE Raw - March 2, 2009

    He can go, but people would rather cite the fact that he got shit on vs HHH when Jeff Hardy was pulled out of the triple threat at the last second as a personal slight against him.

    WWE Raw - March 2, 2009

    Anyone else sense HHH making a run-in to try to goad Orton into making a different choice?

    The Agent of Oblivion question of the day

    Girl named Meg. Her 17, me 20. We went to see Children of Men, then wandered a Barnes & Noble for about an hour.

    The Agent of Oblivion question of the day

    I've got a thrombosed penile lymphatic vessel at the end of my junk. It's not cool, and at present it's as exciting as my junk has gotten lately. The whole "Let's stop fucking fat chicks with low self-esteem and go after somebody worth bragging about" mantra has not worked out as well as I originally planned.

    WWE General Discussion - February 2009

    That explains the creepy pillow talk Knox appeared to do right after the finish.

    Who do you share a Birthday with?

    I share a birthday with Funaki, and according to Wikipedia, Vince McMahon. Must be quite the party.

    The 2009 NFL Offseason

    Carolina's got good money tied up in Gamble, Lucas and I believe Marshall as well; they aren't drafting a CB with their second-round pick. They're probably going to look to move Peppers to a team with a higher first-round pick in order to draft his replacement, and may try to swap seconds in the process.

    Vince Fighting Internet Leaks

    Surprises are going to get out, it's just how it has to be in this day & age. The important thing, which Vince is missing, is to not turn good business decisions into bad business decisions for the sole reason of "Well now it isn't a surprise!".

    Wrestling Quirks

    Heels clap loudly to simulate a tag. Faces tag gently and the crowd roars so the referee can't hear the tag. [/kayfabe] re: why are there tables and ladders under the ring? Because general managers are not known for their foresight, and any sort of match can pop up at any time, so it's more convenient to carry all sorts of goofy shit under the ring than it is to have to haul in something from the back or hope the arena has some extra ladders lying around.

    DLC and it's future in videogames

    It's nice for the developers, they can get cash out of a customer who buys their game through eBay, or used from GameStop or something where they'd normally get nothing. I haven't bought any DLC yet so I'm probably not qualified to speak on the subject. I think stuff that's on-disc that needs to be unlocked through DLC is bullshit, but stuff that's not on disc is acceptable. I think holding back free patches to release simultaneously with DLC is bullshit (hellooooooo, Fable 2). Next-gen, I think, will go the way of Steam. 95+% of the sales are through digital download, but you can still go to the store and buy a hard copy on a disc and have it unlock that way if you have a shitty internet connection or something.

    Guys Currently Being Groomed For Top Spots

    I voted other, and I'm going Kofi Kingston. He got a win over Kane, the Gateway to the Main Event, and that put him in the main event at No Way Out. Granted, we all know how that turned out for him, but consider that a guy like Mike Knox won his entry at a house show nobody saw, and Kane was merely handed a spot by calling in his brother to do a McMahon's dirty work, one must admit Kofi's entry was more valid than either of theirs. Plus, the guy is already pretty over...and to my knowledge he hasn't cut a promo yet. He's been seen talking to guys before tag matches, but I haven't seen a microphone in his hands and look at his resume: "main evented" a PPV, taken out by a multi-time champion (the Ultimate Opportunist, no shame in getting taken out by him), pinned Kane clean, Intercontinental champion (never honestly lost it, he lost it in that funky two-titles-on-the-line tag match at Unforgiven), RAW Tag champion, and he's been on TV for just over a year now. He feels like this generation's RVD, honestly. Plus since he's not actually Jamaican he won't get caught with marijuana.

    You have to use them all to move on to Perks.

    Fallout 3

    I can't believe I went through 90% of the game without a companion. I didn't have anybody until Star Paladin Cross. Just finishing up my first playthrough to level 20 for the "level 20 good karma" achievement, and then going to play through again as someone different.

    Legends of WrestleMania

    Depends on how old school the person you're asking is. I'd have said grey, along with the jagged edge shirt sleeves and the grey & black striped tie.
