Don't we have at least 4 black divas? Yeah, if we can't have a Trini, we should at least have an Aisha. But then we'd have to have an Adam, which means we couldn't have a Zack, which kinda kicks Xavier out the groupl Unless, Xavier's TJ, in which case...

Not to mention the Milton Hershey School, which goes out of its way to provide a good education, along with room and board, to kids from poor or otherwise disadvantaged backgrounds. I was in Hershey for Halloween weekend and you get the sense that out of everything Milton Hershey did, he thought that was his greatest accomplishment. If you read about Sam Walton, he was similarly a very giving and charitable person. And it wasn't just for lip service. Shame it all went to hell after his death. His heirs don't share his same generous spirit and just sit on their billions and billions (I think they're still the richest family in the world, if not they're top 5 easy) while their employees can barely scrap by. The history of a lot of these "old school" 20th century billionaires and what have you is pretty fascinating. There's so much good and bad; lots of donations to great causes and experimental ideas to make lives better combined with some dangerous extremist views on various matters that may have harmed some people, too. Guys like Henry Ford, Walt Disney, Milton Hershey, Sam Walton...they all fit the bill. Good, bad, love or hate, they were pretty fascinating. As a Detroiter, particularly now, the Henry Ford bit has always struck me. Ford, for all his personal shortcomings, was one of the first and few magnates to say "I'm going to pay my employees enough not just to live, but to be able to afford the automobiles they produce for everyone else to enjoy." His business practices are what made millions flock to Detroit and nearby cities to get their slice of the pie, an actual shot at the American Dream, right here in the Rust Belt. To think that the magnates of today have gone from the practices of him and Hershey to taking pride in becoming billionaires off of paying their employees the bare minimum (or sending their jobs to third world countries to pay them even less) is nothing short of nauseating.

I'm so upset at this development; Rosa should NEVER go blonde because she always looks terrible. I'll just sit here in silence in my corner waiting for this phase to end, staring at this picture. We have reached a new frontier. This goddess of a woman pictured above, Rosa Mendes, has botched being hot. We're through the looking glass here, people.

I predict between now and Sunday they drop the Elimination part and make it single fall. I would not be shocked if they did this with no fanfare whatsoever.

Maybe Miz can throw on a black scarf and team up with Del Rio as Awesome Aggression. Figure 4/Armbar combo? Eh. Could be worse. Long overdue. Now he needs a haircut. So he could look like a Kindergartener again? So he can look like Captain Dick again.

If only his spear looked like this more often. It should be noted that the recipient is Ted Junior; one of his many underrated talents was his selling and working with a wrestler's moveset (he was one of the few people who could manage Sin Cara's double rotation headscissors, por ejemplo).

You know...these people can choose to work elsewhere if this is a problem for them Well, that's not a snobby response at all. Echoing Stunt Granny's response, I'm pretty sure if any of these people could choose to work anywhere else, they wouldn't be working for WalMart in the first place. Hell, I can't even get f***ing Little Caesars to get me a call back, you really think someone who works for a retail chain like that making chump change can just quit and sign up with a factory the next day like once upon a time? Maybe where you live and at your paygrade that's possible, but not for the average American and certainly not for the average American that has to work at WalMart in the first place.

This thread won't end well...
My two cents before I go: I get that "something is better than nothing," but if they'd just pay their workers a living wage, this wouldn't be happening in the first place; and the whole "they won't turn a profit thing" is baloney, 'cause Costco has a much higher wage with much more job security and they aren't exactly flailing.

Umaga always had a beautiful Samonan Drop. One of those examples of how doing a move a certain way can turn it from just a transitional move to a believable finisher.

I would buy the Ryback has heat stories a lot more if he had one fued in the past year with someone who wasnt a main eventer. Loseing to C.M. Punk, Cena, Mark Henry, beating Jerico, then loseing to C.M. Punk again is the worst way ever to burry someone. Over the last year. He was pinned by R-Truth a week ago. He lost to The Miz a few weeks ago as well. He was completely buried by Paul Heyman. He hasnt even sniffed the title scene since Cena put him through the ambulance. He was getting TV time with his bowly skits and now, he's getting jobbed. Yes, losing to Big Show is not a bad thing, but they didnt even build the match like it mattered. The saving grace with the Big Show match is that he was protected and made to look rather strong. I think its clear that Ryback has fallen out of favor. Whether its heat or not remains to be seen. The Truth thing is about the only legitimate case of him being "berried," and even that was a fluke win. Miz is a former world champion (who isn't exactly being pushed to the moon himself) and Heyman's had words for everyone who's either lost his services or left them. As for not being in the title scene, there's a LOT of people who haven't been in the title scene for a minute. Hell, I don't think Punk's even been teased as entering the WWE Title scene since losing his rematch at Elimination Chamber, and I can't remember when Dolph's been considered for any title scene. It is clear that RyBack's fallen out of favor, but then again, so have a lot of people. This is the WWE; they have a habit of making people randomly not matter at a moments notice. RyBack's hardly an exception.

The main problem I have is Katlyn and AJ are on the same team. Would hate it so much if they are suddenly friends again. Welp, WWE isn't exactly known for it's strict adherence to continuity, particularly when it comes to the Divas.

Just for posterity, Lilian has been getting "hurr durr, looks like a horse" slams for who knows how long, and I have yet to see any major umbrage over that. Or the "Mickie looks like a horse" lines. Or the "Melina's a hoo-er" lines. Or the "Eve has a man jaw" lines. Or the "Beth Phoenix looks like a man" lines. I could seriously go on.
Bottom line: I can't help but think the volume of attacks is okay so long as it's not someone you like. It would really help your case if you were just as offended with any of the above slanders as you were with one person stating that they didn't find someone unattracive. And, quiet as it's kept, she really isn't. She's really, really overrated, if you ask me.

Not that I'm aware of it. Which was weird since that something that JBL will mention even if it's just one line. maybe it was one of those deals where someone thought "wait everyone loved Eddie, we can't give the WWE UNIVERSE any reason to cheer vickie so nobody mention it." Especially since, like Sparkybob, first thing I thought was "homage to Eddie by faking an injury." Never even considered AJ's fainting spell 'til this thread.

I got that feeling too. He yelled IT'S MORPHIN TIME right before hitting his finisher, and the announcers completely no-sold it. Actually doubtful considering "It's Clobberin' Time" was repeated twice by the announcers...WWE has a tendency to be overlooked by pretty much everyone that do not follow it unless the performer is in a movie I'd say "it's clobberin' time" and "it's morphin' time" are practically public commons now, meaning you can say the phrase without incurring any legal backlash. Hell, they used the "it's morphin' time" line in Friends, during the peak of MMPR's popularity and much more directly.
