  1. Can someone explain the whole Tim Sherwood watching games from the stands thing? I don't get it. At first I thought he had a touch-line ban, but then reading an article about he made it sound like he just enjoyed watching the game from there
  2. The Shield thing isn't as complicated as it might seem, I'd still consider them 'heels', but for the purposes of the game mechanics 'tweener' might make things easier for the player? But it's not like you are bound to book things the same as what is happening on TV, so I think 'heel' would be fine if the alignments are to be set by what happens on TV. Clearly they are not faces, despite their actions, as a unit The Shield are an authority to themselves. They attacked Kane because they didn't want to be his lapdogs, it was to assert their own status and power as a unit, it didn't suit their plans to do what Kane said, so they acted accordingly. It's basically what happens when a heel tries to boss another heel around, they get their ass beat.
  3. I have a friend who likes to cheat on pretty much every single player he owns, I don't mean exploit... I mean he has one of the programs that allows you to edit stats in-game. He even cheats on games like Skyrim (on every RPG ever actually), always giving himself max everything, all the spells, max every stat and so forth. For some reason I find the idea that he can't (or isn't?) willing to enjoy the game without cheating to be infuriating. I think this is because on some level there is a cognitive dissonance with the notion that not being challenged in any way whatsoever could be 'fun.'
  4. Edit: Nevermind, you can delete this. I found what I was looking for, the grey title background: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y250/bobinc/TEW%20Backgrounds/GreyTitleBeltBackground.jpg
  5. Unless it's changed recently, TAKA tours with NJPW. EDIT: Or are they not in the game? I believe he recently announced he was leaving New Japan at the end of his current run. True, but I think Crack Fox Penn's point is he currently wrestles for NJPW and not for AJPW, who he has not appeared for at all in AJPW and for whom he is not scheduled to appear either. Make Takeshi Rikio's gimmick Foreign Star Make Takehiro Murahama's gimmick No Gimmick Needed Make Shadow WX's gimmick Extremist. Both Rikio and Murahma are retired, so whether or not to be assigned gimmicks is debateable. On the TAKA front, TAKA said he was LEAVING New Japan. (I got this from Luchablog going into FantasticaMania 2014) WHY on the Rikio and Murahama gimmicks? The main thing with the game is the guise of "wrestlers could return." So if someone says they're going to retire in two months do you set them to retired today? I assumed the understanding was you wait for something to happen before making the change. Who knows, NJPW might offer TAKA a new better deal to stay? Or he could leave from April 1. Either way personally I think he should stay with NJPW until it's clear he has no more dates. Ignoring the issue of whether he should be removed from NJPW now when he will not leave the company until April, why would he be assigned to AJPW? He never said he was joining AJPW, AJPW hasn't said he was joining, and he hasn't appeared there at all in 2014 (and only like 3 or 4 times the past two years). That's the really important part, and I thought the reason why the objection was raised in the first place. It's like saying, Rey Jr's contract runs out next month, add him to TNA. There's no logic or reason there at all. When I read the comment originally my first assumption was, 'this person is confusing NJPW with AJPW.' RE: Rikio, he's not going to return... he retired due to a serious neck injury, which means he can't wrestle at risk of paralyzing himself I would assume (he's also over 40 years old). Murahama, I get it's possible he could come back at some point, though he is pushing forty and hasn't wrestled regularly for nearly a decade so hence my assumption he had 'left the business'... especially since he was not known to have retired due to injuries. But yeah it's not impossible for him to return due to health reasons or something, so yeah I guess if you want to give retired people gimmicks then he could have one.
  6. Did Ashley bleed the first time?
  7. It reminds me of the first time
  8. Where's the love for Criminal Intent? I'm with the fuck CSI crowd, my L&O ranking goes thus, 1-Criminal Intent (Goran is my anti-thetical hero) 2-SVU 3- Law & Order Classic (that's what they call it now right? >_>) I miss Lenny.
  9. Brujeria! Although the line-up was pretty fluid, with Dino leaving Fear Factory, Brujeria was pretty much killed, it wouldnt be the same without Raymond (from FF) on drums, that and Dino has apparently 'quit' his own band A really cool, unique band, Brujeria is one of the death metal bands i never get tired of. Something i lifted from the BNR metal pages (awesome site): http://www.bnrmetal.com/ As the legend goes, Brujeria is an extreme underground band, consisting of various Mexican drug lords and/or murderers, who are so notorious that they must keep their identities unknown as they release albums. A great story, but of course it's not the truth. In actuality Brujeria is a side project led by Dino Cazares of Fear Factory. Exactly who has recorded here on which albums isn't quite clear (the pseudonyms listed below may not match up to the real names), but the core of the band, at least at one time, consisted of Cazares, Billy Gould (ex-Faith No More), Raymond Herrera (also of Fear Factory), Shane Embury (Napalm Death), and Pat Hoed from the punk band Down By Law, though the current lineup no longer features Herrera or Gould, but does involve Nick Barker (Dimmu Borgir). With three bass players in the mix, one might expect a lower-end sound, and that's exactly what Brujeria is all about -- dirty, down-tuned, grungy death metal, with lyrics sung entirely in Spanish (and not very friendly lyrics at that, as anyone with just passing familiarity with Spanish curse words can attest). Quite cool, actually. They aren't without a sense of humor either -- who else could record a death metal version of the Macarena and call it "Marijuana"? Brujeria is an ongoing project, as their two most well-known albums were done in the early nineties and a third, Brujerizmo, released in 2000. 2/12/05: Despite being the founder and leader of the band, Dino Cazares announced that he has quit the group to focus on a new project with drummer Nick Barker (who, according to Cazares, is also no longer in Brujeria). It is unclear whether the band will continue. ----- Brujeria and Nail Bomb, which was a side project headed up by Alex Newport & Max Cavalera (Sepultura/Soulfy) "Nailbomb was a short-term collaboration between Alex Newport (then in Fudge Tunnel, now in Theory Of Ruin) and Max Cavalera (then in Sepultura, now in Soulfly), with the results being more or less what one might expect, that being a sludge/thrash combination (more often resembling Fudge Tunnel) with the occasional drum machine and sample that might remind one of Ministry or Godflesh. They released one studio album and then a mostly live album before officially discontinuing the project." Brujeria moreso than Nail Bomb, since the Cavalera is so far from where he was in 94 that he'll never be making music like that again, Brujeria on the other hand, could get it back together (without raymond), although i think Dinos side-project (of a side-project) will end up with a similar sound anyway...
