  1. Oh! Oh! I wanna weigh in on stuff! WWE PPV names: If we don't know for sure what the June/December PPV's are going to be, I say just leave them as whatever they're titled now rather than change them to TBD or deleting them. We know there's going to be PPV and each PPV has to have a unique name, so you would have to go through the trouble of naming them TBD 1 and TBD 2, which seems silly. Also, plenty of people probably won't even bother with going to edit them when they start a game, so they'll end up booking a show called TBD for the sake of super-duper realism. So, I say either leave them what they are or go with whatever the rumor mill is churning out today for their names. Superstar Look stuff: Ric Flair - Doesn't look like a Superstar. He is a Superstar, because he had the Superstar look and became a legend. Now he looks like a Superstar way past his prime. But since he's Ric Flair, it's not like he needs the Superstar look ticked. He's over and will continue to be over as a motherfucker regardless of how he looks. The man could have his arms and legs amputated and still have the potential to carry himself better than 90% of the main event scene of any promotion he's in. Sonjay Dutt - Looks like he's got a fonz factor to me. If he ever main evented a big company I would argue it would be based on his talent and charisma rather than his look. Santino - Another guy that I think gets over huge off his talent and charisma, but if he ever main evented it would be in spite of his look. I've seen pictures of him in OVW where he played a serious gimmick and he still didn't scream Superstar to me. He plays the Mick Foley-esque goofy role because it's his true calling, and like Mick Foley, he's getting over for it despite his unusual look. Heath Slater - I think he's a diamond in the rough. I wouldn't give him Superstar look currently, but in a year or two's time if a promotion marketted him correctly, gave him the right gimmick and personality, I would buy him as a main eventer. Right now though it's just missing the "it factor" Mark Henry - In the past I would have probably said no, but like The Undertaker he's got the "it factor". Not every big guy can be/should be a Superstar, but Henry has "it" and has always been the reason he's been pushed despite his talent and [apart from this last year or two where he's really shined] charisma
  2. Disagree doesn't even cover it. What about The Rock is menacing?
  3. This. I go on anti-Nicolas Cage rants all the time to my friends, and they've learned to throw Kick-Ass in my face to show he's not a shitty actor. But he's still a shitty actor, he's just in a really fun movie that I love!
  4. Rewatched the last season of Spider-Man: The (90's) Animated Series on Netflix for some nostalgia. God, the dialogue was pretty awful at times but the entire season was one big mark out moment of cameos and guest stars.
  5. Lilyhammer - Netflix's first original TV series. Went in with low expectations, cuz what does a DVD-rental-service know about making TV shows? Blown. A. Way. Carries the quirky dramedy vibe of Weeds and Rescue Me but really does wonders with what I assume is a low budget. Small cast but well entangled characters and a great small-town feel. Really felt like they took a stale concept of Italian-American gangsters and put a fresh spin on it. Everyone should check this out.
  6. The main problem with adding Mathews, Stanford and other announcers as workers is that only color commentators can be workers who have the announce box ticked. The play-by-play has to be from the staff section. So if you deplete all the announcers from the staff and make them workers, you'll have only one man announce booths
  7. Nice of you to join the board and congratulations on your first post on EWB. Pro-Tip: The Stat Updates work on the power of very specific suggestions. Saying shit's outta whack up and down the board doesn't help. Bill's not going to get any lightbulb moment and go "oh, you know, I know exactly what he's talking about." If you think Adam Cole/Chuck Taylor/TJ Perkins deserves higher speed than Austin Aries/Eric Young/Tony Nese, say so. As for the examples you said to "think about", I don't even know what the point you were trying to make was. That those examples were overrated? Because I'm positive Crimson and Jesse Sorensen who get global weekly TV exposure are more over than all the independent wrestlers who don't get global weekly TV exposure. Best of luck with your future endeavors on EWB

  9. Watched Moneyball and wasn't a fan. Jonah Hill was the only character worth a damn. Brad Pitt had a few enjoyable scenes, but the entire movie was full of undeveloped characters and relationships, unexplored avenues, wasted film and muted dramatics. Maybe I'll feel differently about it later in the day when things have soaked in more, but on first impression, it's lucky it came out in the disappointing year of 2011 rather than going up against juggernauts from 2010. It was no Major Leauge
  10. Not a spoiler since we have no way of watching the match, given that it was a house show. But for your future reference to put something spoiler tags you put the word spoiler inside of [brackets], type whatever the spoiler is, and then put /spoiler inside [brackets]. Alternatively, when posting you can click Add Reply to bring up the full edit screen, type the spoiler, highlight it, and then select Spoiler from the Other Styles dropdown menu. Knowledge is power!
  11. It's time to play the music, It's time to light the lights!

  12. Not really. There aren't nearly enough crossovers to justify that. There's a handful of wrestlers who have recently tried crossing over (most failing) to MMA, but not so much in the opposite direction. If we added UFC and their fighters then you'll have about 80 MMA guys who in real life are just as likely to join wrestling as they are to join football or astrophysics.
  13. Voilà The Savefile links don't work anymore, but the Megauploads do I believe. Available in both Zip and RAR, along with optional pic packs
  14. I'm the one with the championships, the looks, the skills, the charisma, the girls, the list goes on and on and by the way how damn good am I at this!?

  15. Lupe Fiasco and Florence and the Machine B.O.B. and The Beastie Boys Nickleback and Queen. One's reputation would have to balance out the other I would imagine
  16. True villains can't pretend to be anything else. They are what they are.

  17. Since season 3 of Lie To Me was added to Netflix Instant Watch fairly recently, I started in on that having loved the first two seasons. Specifically I just watched episode 3, The Dirty Loyal, and am thoroughly disappointed they canceled the show after this season. I don't care if the ratings were plummeting, I love this show God damn it.
  18. I'm halfway through Joseph Heller's Catch-22. At first, I didn't get the buzz. I almost gave up on it because it was all dialog, a shit-ton of characters, no real progression in the story, and was often silly just for silly's sake. Glad I pushed through, because I'm really starting to get it and don't want to put it down. I also read Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. It wasn't Shakespeare, but it was fun for what it was
  19. Wade Wade Wade, You Know It!

  20. You would have to be a dry-guy to be missing Workaholics
  21. 10) Zombieland 9) House of 1000 Corpses 8) Poltergeist 7) The Birds 6) The Crazies 5) 28 Weeks Later 4) The Blair Witch Project 3) Saw II 2) 1408 1) Quarantine
  22. It should be based on where they were born. And Kane would be European, considering he was born in Madrid, Spain... not Mexico. /facepalm My bad, I feel ignorant now. Yeah, I just wanted clarification. Thanks This has come up a few times before. He was born on an American Air Force base, which makes it a small spot of American soil in Spain, making him 100% American.
  23. Seinfeld Followed by Curb Your Enthusiasm
