I'm happy with Rollins as champ but I've come to terms with the fact that WWE is just not going to have compelling main event stories very often. I try to ignore RAW and Smackdown and just watch the PPVs. Rollins has had an awesome run of PPV matches this year even if the booking was bad. I want him to keep the belt for the forseeable future.

I expected him to pedigree them all at the same time.

I've watched a good bit of these videos over the last few weeks and I just can't get past how often there are glaring mistakes in his videos. For instance; in the top 10 botches video, he got Matt and Jeff Hardy mixed up. Also, when he talks about well-known behind-the-scenes stuff he really seems to embellish the stories with false information and assumptions. Plus he does fantasy booking videos...I mean, the guy is kind of funny and his videos are worth watching, but he comes across like the worst kind of smark.
I prefer Wrestling With Wregret even if it's not an easily digestable list-based series. At least the guy from that show is actually a wrestler and seems to always check his facts.

"Indy" it's perfectly acceptable here since even the Puro guys like KENTA and Prince Devitt worked Indy shows in the U.S. Not sure about Mistico but I feel like he may be the exception.

I remember the boogeyman made me barf when he ate actual worms Some of Eddies blade jobs made me barf Toward the end of her run AJ Lee made me physically sick when she would skip around to her theme song I Ralphed chef boy ardee all over myself Page's voice is starting to make me gag when I hear it When raw opens with the authority opening chord I gag in my mouth What makes you sick in the attitude era thru present? Jeez, you need to see a doctor! When you start throwing up because of AJ, it is clearly no longer an issue of seeing gross things on TV.

I just remembered one of my friends showing me a bestiality porn site when I was in middle school. We laughed and cringed and what not and continued exploring around the site. One of the links had images of naked 14 and 15 year old girls and we immediately noped the f*** out of there. I remember asking my friend if we could even get in trouble for it since a.) We didn't mean to see it and b.) The girls were older than us.

I remember when 3 liter bottles were still around. They're extinct and I feel that the 2 liter will go the same way eventually. Larger bottles like that are useful for groups though. Nobody is supposed to be drinking that much soda alone, but for a family of 4 you can easily kill a 2 liter in a day without anyone having drank a ridiculous amount. They're also useful for parties when you need a lot of soda for mixed drinks. There have been quite a few nights in my home where we went through 3 or 4 of them.

I would probably on vacation with that lady regardless of if she was an actual unfrozen Nazi, never mind the fact that she just posted some dumb stuff on instagram.

It doesn't really matter to me. As long as whatever they choose to do is done well and take the more fantastical stuff they do seriously. Like if some guy wears a duck costume the announcers should treat him as an actual duck-type thing. Not shout, "What a wacky day in WWE, there's a waddling duck on screen!!! Wakka wakka!!" Exactly! I don't really care if things are campy or funny as long as it's played straight. Absurdity has a place in wrestling but it rarely works as a main event story. As far as realism goes, the Authority storyline kind of works, but it's kind of boring and not really consistent. With the roster WWE has, they could put on the best wrestling product ever if they just stopped doing too much. Things should be presented as unscripted but sanctioned. Drama should unfold during sanctioned segments. If somebody gets attacked, the cameras should be there for a different reason.

Someone listens to "Deep Web" stories on Youtube. I watch those as well as the ones about terrifying 4chan posts. The absolute worst one I've seen was a thread called "terminally ill children in suggestive poses". Ugh.

Seems weird, but I swear I remember the WWF themselves spoiling Foley's title win the day of the Fingerpoke of Doom on their AOL page They did. I remember seeing it that Monday afternoon when I got online at the library.

Square-Enix's All Star Pro Wrestling series doesn't get enough love around here. People (rightly so, mind you) bring up Fire Pro, KOC and the AKI N64 games, but ASPW deserves some attention. It might not have had the best engine, but the animations were so smooth that it made having realistic matches very easy to do. For a mid 2000's PS2 game, the graphics are phenomenal. I think a WWE game with this type of realism would be amazing. Here's a video of a full match. youtu.be/_CT2J_7cB1w

I loved this game but I barely remember anything from it. I think my girlfriend at the time kept playing it while I was at work so even though I was the one to beat it, I didn't get the full gist of the story. I might need to play it again soon.

Lol @ showing somebodies genitals without their consent is worse than trivializing genocide. I mean it's not a contest but damn. As a black guy with a number of female friends and relatives, I can tell you I am a lot more tolerant of people saying stupid shit about slavery/Jim Crow than I am about seeing my friends having their nudes posted and circulated on the internet without their consent. And knowing at least two black girls that it has happened to, I imagine they feel the same way. So, sorry if my vitriol seems over the top, even for this thread. Maybe I just don't feel strongly about it because I don't know anybody that it's happened to. Rollins was cheating though and I DO feel strongly about that (it's not just embarrassing, it can be downright painful), so it's easy to see how somebody can do something stupid in that situation. Anyway, I'm not trying to start a debate over it I just figured I should have elaborated a little more in my last post.

Nope. Can't cosign. Zahra may have posted some messed up shit on Twitter and Instagram, but Leighla engaged in revenge porn. If karma was real, she'd be getting this news from inside of a jail cell. Yeah, f*** Zahra, but f*** her too. And f*** Seth for having such horrible taste in women. EDIT: Fake Twitter account. Egg on my face. Point still stands: revenge porn is shittier than anything Zahra did on social media. Lol @ showing somebodies genitals without their consent is worse than trivializing genocide. I mean it's not a contest but damn.

I said I COULD. Not that I would. Edit: Actually, why would that even be creepy? They're the ones posting nude pictures for everyone to see in the first place. It's not like I have access to stuff they intended to keep private. If I DID message one of those women, I would be giving them exactly the type of attention they were seeking. Like, I can agree with it being unethical and an abuse of mod privileges...but creepy? If anything, they're the creepy ones for making me look at their naked ass in the first place. Come on... You just seemed really proud of the fact that you get these naked pictures and could contact them. Really proud? Okay...I should work on conveying my feelings better in my posts, then. You just seemed really proud of the fact that you get these naked pictures and could contact them. The issue was the smiley face. Oh...Yea, I guess there was no reason to try to signify that I was not entirely serious. Smiley faces are THE issue though. Sorry about that. I said I COULD. Not that I would. Edit: Actually, why would that even be creepy? They're the ones posting nude pictures for everyone to see in the first place. It's not like I have access to stuff they intended to keep private.

If anything, they're the creepy ones for making me look at their naked ass in the first place. Come on... That's actually the same place I've been flagmodding at lol. I guess if you go on enough and don't get any complaints about you eventually you get invited to be a flagmod from what I hear. As for messaging women posting nudes a few things... 1) It seems like a good way to end up in some pimp's trunk. 2) When you mod you don't just get posts from your local area. They're from all over the world. The ones I was just looking at were from Hong Kong. Unless you're really into LONG distance relationships based on slight nudity it doesn't seem like a worthwhile endeavor. 3) A lot of nudes are from scammers. 4) A lot more dudes hanging dong than anything. From my experience anyway. Well actually it's not even as interesting as that. Plenty of it is mundane and has nothing to do with nudity. Like a person is supposed to be in all his or her pics and they post a picture of a car, a house, a cat, etc. and it gets flagged. I mean...all of that is true but I seem to be missing the relevance. I use OKC to find dates in my area and I have very little trouble doing so. Turning dates into relationships is much harder, which is why I keep coming back. I do the modding thing maybe, once or twice a year to kill time while I"m chatting on Facebook messenger or something. I guess it was kind of weird to bring up the fact that I see nude pics along with the username (meaning I could send messages to these chicks if I wanted) but like you said, it's an otherwise mundane job. I was literally mentioning the only interesting part of the whole thing. I'm gonna bow out of this thread now. You guys have fun telling the same stories about moderating similar message boards. I'll be doing creepy shit.

Rapid fire, which one did you download? There are many in the store. I didn't get the game through an app store (I don't have a Windows phone). I actually used an English patched, hacked version of the Japanese GBA game, Final Fire Pro Wrestling and played it on a GBA emulator app. I can't help you find that file though, I think the link is long gone.

I'm pretty sure they did the facial scan thing for WWF Warzone and Attitude. I can't seem to find a source on that. Maybe there's an old magazine article or something, but any development info I can find on the game doesn't mention it. I seem to remember it from an old EGM magazine. I couldn't confirm it either. I did see people online saying that it was done for SYM and the Day of Reckoning games though.

I'm a mod on Okcupid. It only works if I'm on the PC though so I don't do it often. I just get to look through flagged photos and decide if they should be removed or not. One cool thing is I see a lot of nudity and could send messages to those girls if I wanted to Alright, I'm just gonna say this sounds very creepy. I said I COULD. Not that I would. Edit: Actually, why would that even be creepy? They're the ones posting nude pictures for everyone to see in the first place. It's not like I have access to stuff they intended to keep private.
