  1. Yeah I enjoyed the chop battle. I liked Liger's desperation during the finish portion as well. It's like he realized he had to try to end it now if his team was going to have any chance of winning.
  2. I wonder if the duck hunting stuff would fly better today with all the "Duck Dynasty" fans around. I enjoyed all the stuff with the midgets this week. I wonder if WWE's next big Network event could be a big midget wrestling tournament.
  3. Having it go to 10 instead of 5, and having the decimal places instead of quarters should help differentiate comparing different matches. Not all 4 and a Quarter Star matches are created equal for example, so this should help in those situations where usually you may say "This match is better than this match but not good enough to deserve another quarter star rating." It should also help as you mentioned to keep from jumping to ridiculous ratings like 6 out of 5 stars for example.
  4. yeah I thought Raw seemed like a bit of a snoozer this week.

    WWE NXT UK announced

    The video on WWE's YouTube page https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zHo8HVIers is I believe the qualifying rounds of the tournament taped at the Download Festival a week ago? Anyway, I am not sure why this isn't uploaded on the network, or if it is on there I didn't see it.
  6. Why did they bring Ellsworth back? Did he do something while he was back in the indies that impressed them?
  7. Is Shawn Michaels going to wrestle? Why is he on the list? Also, interesting to see Brock Lesnar isn't listed. I thought he just got a new contract? Or was that only temporary until Summer Slam? You think they would have been already planning this event when they were working on his contract. You know he was a draw before he had the title, so he can still wrestle without it I would think.
  8. really cool video. Let us know when you post more as I enjoyed it.
  9. I recently discovered Neal Adams Green Arrow, specifically the Brave and the Bold issue where the redesigned Green Arrow first appeared, and I thought it was amazing. I had been reading the 60's Green Arrow stories up to that point and they were all kind of lame, kind of like the 60's Batman show but not trying to be funny, and contrasted to that, Neal Adams artwork just kind of revolutionizes the character. I've got my eyes peeled now for any deals on old Neal Adams stuff. If Imaginary Stories the podcast Kelly and Johnny did ever comes back, I would suggest maybe a Neal Adams episode. It doesn't even need to be a long comprehensive episode like the ones you guys usually did. Even if you just had a shorter episode where you reviewed a few key issues of different Neal Adams books, I think that would be amazing. I also read some 70's Tomb of Dracula recently, and didn't realize Blade was such a minor character (at least in the first 24 issues that I read) or that 70's Dracula was so cool.
  10. This is awesome! Thanks for doing this Loss
  11. Hahahahahaha That's EXACTLY what is! LOL
  12. You are announcing you are running for president in 2020.
  13. I liked the Sami Zayn promo where he wanders through the crowd. I thought that was kind of interesting. The end of it seems kind of strange, and it was weird that Lashley didn't really seem to have a lot to say other than just standing there. Zayn suggesting he is lying about being in the military seemed a little different. It was interesting that it brought out a USA chant, only to have them cut off the chant with piping entrance music in the arena, when you think the better option would have been to build on that. But of course since Lashley is just following his script, he presumably can't break off of that to react to the crowd. A USA angle for Bobby Lashley may help him though. Going immediately from that to Jinder and Reigns was weird, and I don't think the fans are going to chant USA for Reigns. I did like how Reigns didn't just stand there for Jinder's promo, that he searched through the backstage looking for him. Although since we already know Jinder was watching Reigns on a monitor since he responded to him, it didn't make too much sense that he just wanted for him there, so now in this segment the heel looks like the dumb one. Also, I think they should have had a longer backstage brawl. I thought it ended too quickly.
  14. I was hoping they were gonna treat Ronda differently from the other women, make her into a bit of a special attraction, but this storyline is really making her look bad.
  15. I was really disappointed that they added Cass to the Daniel Bryan/Samoa Joe match. That being said, I am really enjoying how Daniel Bryan does these short weekly TV matches. His offense is genuinely exciting.
  16. I have to say that I pick and chose from the main show, but I really love the Drive Through show and listen to all of those.
  17. Awesome! I can't wait to listen to this. I also can't wait until you guys get to the Michael Hayes heel turn, but Gordy showing up should be pretty exciting too,
  18. I agree with this. I think it is great that she has different gear she wears in ring than what she walks around backstage and does interviews in. I wish more guys were allowed to do this.
  19. Braun Stroman's finisher is a Running Powerslam. Or do you just mean a regular one without the running before hand? To be honest he doesn't so much run as walk a few steps before powerslamming the guy. I miss the piledriver but I am assuming its done more outside of WWE. I also liked that press move that Ultimate Warrior used to do where he would lift the guy over his head and then drop him behind him.
  20. I put my wife in a chinlock or an abdominal stretch in front of the TV when wrestling is on to make sure she watches it. Let me just say she did NOT appreciate the epic length of Wrestlemania this year.
  21. That makes me feel a little sick inside. I like having some shorter pay per views. I can't imagine sitting in front of the TV watching a 4 plus hour show every month. I may end up just watching the second half of the pay per views live, and then if I hear about good matches on the undercard later on I can just pick and choose those matches on the network.
  22. It would be really interesting if Rock started comparing every wrestler to Volk Han.
  23. Please don't tell me Sheik Al-Kaissie left us!? No no, its just a joke. At the end of the episode Parv kept talking about Adnan for some reason and Kelly cut him out and closed the show, so I was trying to be a smartass.
  24. Im guessing it takes them more time to put the dots in and they figured it was better the get the most stuff up as quickly as possible then to spend time going through each episode to add those chapters and the associated tags that must go with them. They must assume most people watch full shows now rather than skipping to the matches they want to see.
