Ya lets just keep doing our finishes over and over and pin out over and over until everybody somehow loves it.

Garbage.

 

[LuchaBear]

Not as funny as Randy Orton having his head split open by Brock, only to be rewarded with a feud against Bray Wyatt.

 

[LuchaBear]

And LOL at 4 stars for Balor/Rollins, one of the most boring matches I have ever seen.

Oh I guess I just made up the term hair metal on my own. Just cuz that shit sucks which we agree on doesnt mean that it isnt in that family tree.

Its not thrash speed or heavy its glam but they are all sub genres of the metal tree.

Deal with it.

I never said there isnt a world of difference between the 2 dont act like I think they sound identical or I cant tell which is which

No...I refuse to accept anything that puts Winger and Poison anything closer than 5 separate levels of foliage away from anything Metal...anything closer than tree vs fungus is blasphemous. I don't know where you came up with hair metal, but I'm willing to bet the guy that came up with that term bears a striking resemblance to the fondue guy from the latest Taco Bell commercial. Now repent your sins, post 20 hail Satans and if possible kick Bubba in the bean bag as penance!

Hair metal and punk are in the same family tree too.

 

[D.R.H.]

I thought that it was a lot better than other people gave it credit for, but professional wrestling has been absolutely tremendous since NXT stepped up its game.

I didn't think it was bad by any means...but God damn it if Revival and DIY didn't deflate everything after by tearing the proverbial house down.

 

[LuchaBear]

I'm not that high on Big Cass. I appreciate him but his flaws are what Enzo's strengths are and vice versa. Also, the East River Crossing is a shit finisher.

If Cass is going to be pushed to the top then keep Enzo with him no matter what. Doing the typical some twat betrays another thing will kill both of their careers.

Cass sounds like a five year old trying to read. It's pathetic that he's given the mic.

 

[LuchaBear]

From what I saw Tuesday that direction is already dead.

"Leave me alone!" - Bitch Made Ziggler

"Leave me alone!" - Bitch Made Ziggler

We were talking about Amborse...but I guess the same does apply to Dolph too.

Yea both rock music I guess . A better comparison probably would have been to tell me that no doubt and the specials are in the same tree , a good charlotte and dead kennedys comparison or even throw in my face that that horrid screamo shit came out of our scene too.


Look dude I didnt make up the term hair metal. im not saying the bands have a whole lot in common other than being sub genres of a larger genre

 

[LuchaBear]

I think it's a bit of both. Romans flaws became really obvious as he was being pushed. And it was completely obvious he was uncomfortable with his character which is the absolute worse for a main eventer. But I also think smarks are quick to jump off someone's wagon once they make it to the top.

And if he was actually entertaining like some around here claim he is, then the fans would have jumped back on to the bandwagon by now..

 

[Wrath of Foamy]

This coming from the same guy who said last Monday that the fans are so smart they were inspired by Seth Rollins's promo where he was basically calling them assholes for booing his match the night before. The same fans chanting "you deserve it" to Finn Balor. He's been on the roster 5 minutes and got hurt in his first match, he doesn't deserve shit.

Seth Rollins hurt him on that powerbomb because he threw him from too far away. What was he going to do? Let the back of his head take the hit?

Fans are more knowledgeable about wrestlers histories nowadays. They know that Finn busted his arse in Japan, formed the Bullet Club, consistently had four star matches in NXT was the face of that revolutionary banner for a long time.

That and he is little, so he is automatically seen as fighting the machine.

I don't see any hail satans or Bubba crying holding his coin purse...

Seth's throw was fine. Balor screwed up by reaching back.

Balor killed Balor.

Sting killed Sting.

Brock killed Orton.

Im not wrong in what I am saying but in the spirit of peace I will kick Bubs in his BoBos should we meet.

 

[sleepwalk]

He still looks like a meth version of Test and needs to bulk up.
They really had no choice but to turn Carmella heel.

He's looks like he's starting to chisel up, at least on the last two Raws. He doesn't have that menace to him yet, though. True on Carmella. Too many women for one division, not enough for two. Somebody's gotta be the heel. The accent, Enzo's smack talk and Cass' size make for great heels someday.

Was Mongo over?

They had him work with Eddie and that shit still looked about as smooth as a Payday bar.

#1 and #2 specifically is why Roman Reigns is hated to this day.

So glad I wasn't watching "funny promo" Roman. They need bully heel Roman bad.

Both feet or it doesn't count...universal balance is important.

What was your point?

My point is that Hair metal is still metal even if it completely sucks and ya dont want to own it
