I was born in 83 and I remember several years back I went to a convention where Rob Paulsen was the guest of honour. I looked him up and he voiced a ridiculous amount of my childhood. Some of the more notable ones: Raphael in the original ninja turtles cartoon, Arthur from the Tick in seasons 2 and 3, Yakko Warner, Pinky from Pinky and the Brain and many others. He's had a prolific career and I remember at a q and a he took us through several of the voices and how some of them were similar but distinct and how he achieved those differences. One fun note is that he played Donatello in the 2012 Nickalodeon ninja turtles as well.
But yeah, he's a down to earth fun guy who has fantastic range.

Best of luck, I'm just starting my own weight loss journey. I'm 6'2 and 318lbs. The hardest part for me is I work long hours in a stressful job and when I'm stressed, I tend to eat unhealthy. Getting my eating habits under control is the second step. I also bought a rowing machine, so the second step is to start using it. My initial goal is to get under 300. Then we'll see.

Remember the bonus stage in Street Fighter 2 where you beat up a car? They should do that with the cybertruck and the first hit explodes it.

I was a bit surprised that Xia was on Main Event in a match with Nattie considering the release.

It is still absolutely horrendous. I've been watching for a couple of weeks and I cannot get I to any match because of the breaks. Yes. I am a casual. I had a hard time getting into the matches and remembering who people are because of the frequent cuts. I guess I will make more people on here "cringe" because I honestly don't know anyone in the Latino world order besides carlito, and rey. The other guys are much younger and newer, if you've just come back, it makes sense you wouldn't know who they are. A couple of them are more present on NXT.

How in 2024 is Naomi still using the rear view? It was a crap move when she debuted it in the divas era.
I'm still struggling to get in to the show with every match going to commercial break at least once, if not twice.

The frequency and length of commercial breaks is completely out of WWE's control. That's all on the network. It is still absolutely horrendous. I've been watching for a couple of weeks and I cannot get I to any match because of the breaks.

They really need to move on from Santos. He's basically had their number at every match outside of Wrestlemania. That said, as much as Rey is a legend, it doesn't help that it's treated like Rey and others, with even Carlito barely getting a chance to speak. I wonder if perhaps they would do better on Raw where there's more time, maybe a chance to develop them some. Also, Rey continuously teaming with non-LWO members was weird and certainly did them no favours.

How has nobody mention Jazz getting thrown out? It's in the original post. Also, "not the mama!" *baby soars through the air and slams I to something "again" Barney saying suit up or legendary.

Roman's going to show up once every six months going forward Good to see he's not slowing down his appearances then.

Releases mid-tv taping is crazy ngl Well Jinder said he quit, but yeah... He knew that after taking the Rock to the limit at the start of the year, it would be almost impossible to top that.

It looks like he's nodding off. He worked 2 days in a row. He's gonna need at least 8 months to recover from that. Maybe a year.

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} Nightcrawler is one of my favourite characters so I'm thrilled to see him on the opening credits.
I am curious to see where things go because as another mentioned, Sinister's work here seems very 90s Apocalypse. Though Sinister was also behind the mutant massacre in the comics so this is just that turned up to 11.
I was hoping for a powerless Storm in the x-men even for a short stint. It really does fee like they've rushed through storylines. A lot of the episodes have been great but considering it's only been six episodes and they've blown through Madylyne Pryor and her whole deal, Powerless Storm, Forge and the Adversary, Genosha's massacre, Xavier's time among the Shi'ar and how many other plotlines, it's kinda crazy. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler} Sinister is giving off huge Dark Beast Vibes and it's interesting that the books Mutant massacre give us Archangel whose already established here, but Sinister did orchestrate it to wipe out Morlocks because of Dark Beast {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} Mutant massacre predates Dark Beast significantly, or am I misreading something?

It can depend partly on who is in charge and if they like someone. Cordelia on Angel was written off the show after her pregnancy and it's been stated that there was one higher up who was really on board with the character. When he left the show, there was no one championing the character any more and the writers didn't really want to write for her. I may be oversimplifying since it's half remembered, but her departure was something of a surprise, especially given how much her character had grown.

So which scenario is more ideal? She flat out vacates the title or gets goaded into a match and is pinned cleanly with everyone knowing she's injured? She could go for the Roman option and just disappear for several months with the title. I'm not saying it's a good choice but we've seen Roman and Brock do it for years.
Really though, it sucks that she has to vacate it but I am a fan of champions who are actually around so I'm okay with this and it gives Rhea a ready made story when she comes back.

Sometimes I like him, often I find him too much. He's better than a lot of colour commentators but then I generally don't care for heel announcers and he's at least not full heel. However, his buttkissing for the bloodline and Triple H are insufferable.
His constant hey look, I know a few sentences in French! schtick got old quick.
It's great that he's having a good time and that Cole loves working with him, but he needs to dial it down sometimes.
