  1. When it comes to Enzo and Cass I think they have a good shot of getting over on the main roster. Though the intro is going to be a big part of it. I mean if you can get an intro that the fans get behind and say with you that is huge. That was a large part of why people loved the NAO. Now if they don't get behind it they are going to have to change even more than they have over the last month or two. I don't get the whole Bayley is Cena thing. She has failed before and didn't always overcome the odds, making her seem like an actual underdog and meaning she actually overcame something. Her character has never been portrayed as cocky and I don't see her cracking stupid jokes on the heels. The issues I see with Cena (and I don't hate him or anything) isn't that he is a white meat babyface like Bayley, but instead a superman who overcomes everything (to just ridiculous ends) and is also a bully (with grade school material). If anything Bayley is more Daniel Bryan than John Cena. If I had to guess what happens the Raw after Wreslemania is that Sami and Bayley debut largely the same way. With Bayley's debut Sasha will be celebrating her win the night before and how she is going to be the best champion ever and all the Women she has beat leading to Bayley's music and her officially joining the main roster (though I don't see a match happening that night). With Sami I could see him interrupting an Owens promo or having a match that Owens interferes in. Either way I see WWE starting both's stay on the main roster with time proven feuds.
  2. Am I the only one concerned that the WWE has an award to honor strength, perseverance, courage, and compassion, and the reward is named after an insane racist homophob? I mean I know the WWE is now pretending he was a good person, but you can still find his insane ramblings online and see just how big of a piece of crap he really was.
  3. Yeah turning him heel at Wrestlemania seems to be the only way to go, that way the WWE can pretend that the boos are heel heat and not we don't want you anywhere near the main event boos. Right now I am hoping Brock signs a new contract and the main event ends up like Summerslam with Brock winning a one sided match. I know it won't happen, but I feel that is the only chance the main event has of being entertaining.
  4. At the moment Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns looks like it will be the worst main event since Wrestlemania 2000. Reigns has yet to show the ability to wrestle a 10 minute match and I just don't see him being carried to a good match. Plus the only way the build up over the next 2 months is going to work is if either Reigns learns to cut a promo overnight or they do what they did with the last segment yesterday and let Heyman speak for him 99% of the time. What makes it sad is you can imagine how great a Daniel vs Brock, Ambrose vs Brock or Ziggler vs Brock match could have been. Heck if they wanted to do a power vs power match I would have been much more interested in Brock vs. Rusev though I understand why they wouldn't do that one.
  5. Something I have always wondered. I know they are the same person in real life but in the "WWE Universe" is Zeb Colter and Uncle Zebekiah the same person?
  6. I tend to be a gin and tonic man. When I stick to that I tend to stay out of trouble and have little to no hangovers the next night. My problem is when I drink Jose Cuervo which my group always chase with monster as it kills the taste completely. That is a problem as it leads to us drinking way to much and staying up all night. I also have issues when I drink Jag as I drink it straight from the bottle as I kind of actually like the taste so I try and stay far away from it.
  7. I was pissed with ME3 throughout the game. Mostly because of how few allies you had to pick from and how flawed the story was throughout. I mean with maybe the exception of Wrex no one had a good enough excuse for not being on your ship and part of your team. Heck and one of the few allies you do get is unusable for a large portion of the game. In the end many of my favorite characters ended up as little more than glorified cameos.
  8. I am with you, in no way is that putting someone over. HHH put Bryan over at Wrestlemania, Orton put Bryan over at Wrestlemania, and Batista put Bryan over at Wrestlemania. Cena did not put Bryan over at Wrestlemania or in the build up to Wrestlemania. What Cena did falls in to one of two categories. Either Cena was acknowledging a crowd reaction to quell it so he could continue his promo or he was trying to get a pop from the crowd (for himself).
  9. I liked it way more than I thought I would. I just hope they stay away from the Joker. You can show me what everyone else was/did before they were super villains, but you can't do that with the Joker.
  10. Cena and Bryan have never had a match at Wrestlemania. Now he did put him over at Summerslam last year. Though it was closer to a 4 week build up. Also I just realized that Cena has lost clean more times at the last 2 Summerslams than he has at all other events combined over the last 4 years.
  11. It looks exactly like the NBA 2K14 mobile card game, which is both good and bad. The good is it is a solid little game that is fun, the bad is I played way too much of the NBA one. Also the NBA one was tied to NBA 2k14 as a way to earn virtual currency, which I am now terrified will be coming over to WWE 2k15. It be one thing if it is only used in the new carrier mode but if it is like NBA 2K it will be part of everything and hurt the overall experience of the game (assuming it is in the game at all).
  12. Captain Marvel isn't too bad. X-Men now follows a group made up of only girl members. Sure it is probably book E of the X-Men focus right now (if we are not counting solo X-Men titles than maybe gook J), but it is still good and unless a cross over is going on you don't need to know what is going on in the others.
  13. Just started playing the beta on Xbox One and I got to say I like it. Got to say the comparison to Borderlands seems right on the head just less cartoony and over the top. That being said if anyone has an Xbox One and would like to play hit me up my gamertag is masterEGON
  14. Nope it is not a deck builder game. Your deck never gets bigger and you never get new cards throughout the game. Instead it is more a strategy game with luck of the cards you have in your hands or drawn on your turn playing the chance part instead of something like dice roles. This video explains the gameplay quite well. http://youtu.be/XKVDgjfBzTA The Dice Tower Review.
  15. It is one of my favorite card based games that I play regularly. I still need to pick up the newest expansion that has been out for quite some time. On that subject of comic based card games here is some basics about the 3 I play Sentinels of The Multiverse - This tends to be a very easy game to set up as each character and location has its own deck and they never mix. You and your friends play as different heroes who attempt to defeat a super villain in different comic book like locations. It is a co-op game where either everyone wins or loses. So far I have only met 1 person who hates the game. Basic info about the game- This is a fixed deck game the deck you start with will be your deck throughout the game. Each game you pick a Super Villain to fight and a location the battle takes place in. Each villain has 2 forms that they can use based off criteria listed on their card. Each villain also has its own deck which will dictate what action it takes each turn. The goal of the game is to get the HP of the villain to 0. Each location has its own deck, each turn a card for the location is turned over causing an event to take place. The event can be something good like cops attacking the villain or bad such as random animals attacking the players. Each player selects a hero to control. Every hero has some type of basic action they can perform along with a deck that has extra abilities, equipment, powers, and one time use special cards. Most of the heroes fit a basic type like Tank, Healer, Damage, or Support. The game is often about team work and communication is key. Coordinating when to use different powers and what to target is the key to victory. Depending on the villain you face and the heroes you pick this game can go from cake walk to impossibly difficult. Legendary: Marvel- By far the most complicated of the 3 and clean up time can be kind of long (or set up time the next game if you do a poor job). Does a good job making you feel like you are running a super hero team. There is a scoring system so it does have a competitive component, but most the time my group ignores it. In my experience people either hate it and see it as too complicated or they love it. The only expansion I have is Dark City. Basic info about the game. This is a deck building game. The game has multiple scenarios (dictates some game-play mechanics and the criteria to lose the game), Masterminds (The big boss who needs to be defeated to win), Villain Groups (Villains under the mastermind), and henchmen (also under the mastermind). Each new game you pick a scenario and a mastermind (some are linked) along with different number of villain groups and henchmen based on the number of players (some henchmen and villain groups are automatically picked when you select a master mind). All the different combinations really make this a game have a vast amount of different difficult levels which allows new players to start with an easy game and allows vets to make the game very difficult. After setting up the villain side of the game your group then select 5 heroes to make up the hero deck. Each hero card usually has a affiliation (X-men, Avengers), a card type (Tech), cost, currency or attack score, and an ability. Now usually you pick your heroes randomly, but my group always try to make sure at least 2 of the people in the hero deck are made up of group members who normally fight the mastermind (often group affiliation gets bonuses against the villain most associated with them). At this point each turn you and the other players try and build a better deck and to take out the Mastermind and his allies before they reach their goal. Each villain you defeat goes into your score pile and if the mastermind is defeated the player with the highest score wins. The game plays a lot like Thunderstone. DC Deck Building Game - By far the most basic and easy to understand of all 3 games. Super easy to set up and clean up. It is all about competition even though you are not battling each other. If you are playing with someone who has never play a deck building game before this is the one to go with. That being said the theme has almost no affect on the game play and is mostly just a pretty pain job. Basic info about the game. You play the game as one of the members of the Justice League. The member of the Justice League you play as gives you a special ability that usually is draw an extra card when you play or buy a specific type of card. The goal of the game is to have the most victory points at the end of the game. The game ends with the Super Villain pile has been defeated. All cards have a victory score, a recruitment value, and many have abilities. Each turn you spend your hands recruitment value and use your abilities toe strengthen you hand with either new heroes, villains, equipment, or powers. All cards you recruit/defeat go into your discard pile and next time you reshuffle they are part of your deck. I just realized I listed the games in the order I prefer them.

Having a new guy win the itle isnt plausible right now when you have DB on the shelf and Punk gone. Cena was the only good choice to put the title on and Cena vs Lesnar is the biggest match that the E can put on right now. If you were running a promotion, with two of the most relevant wrestlers around both gone, would anybody really put the title on non draws like Cesaro or Wyatt to build towards the second biggest PPV of the year or would you put it on your cash cow to build towards a sure thing?</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> My first point was about the idea that Wyatt and Cesaro are better off not winning the title as it would have hurt them to lose to Lesnar something I believe is not true. I wasn't saying I didn't understand why WWE didn't do it.</p><p> </p><p> Wyatt losing on another PPV to Cena would hurt him. A 4 week program that gets dropped the second after the PPV is over never helps the loser. The only exception I could see is if it was someone like Cesaro losing to Cena with a long game leading to a face turn and feud with Lesnar.</p>

My big fear is the next PPV we get Cena beating Wyatt again. It is at the point I am hopping Battleground ends up Cena vs Orton or Cena vs Kane two matches I have no interest in at all just so no one who isn't already established gets hurt by the match. I know people will complain about the same old thing but it is better than the alternative. Also other big fear Cena vs Rusev, if you are going to build up a monster his first loss should actually benefit the baby face in someway.</p>

  19. <p>This topic sure got dark.</p><p> </p><p> My issue with the Cena Wyatt match was how the ending just didn't work for me at all. Cena should have wanted to beat Wyatt to the point where he couldn't get up on his own, you know the point of a last man standing match. Instead he just throws something heavy on him so that he can't get up. That logically is a cowards move and should be a heels way of wining a last man standing match not the faces. What makes it worst though is that Wyatt didn't even try to get out of the box at all. I mean when Jericho did it to Kane we at least saw Kane try to get out of it. It is almost as bad as when he duct taped Batista's feet together to win a last man standing match.</p>

I just don't get why he is on NXT at all. I hope them feeding him to a monster means he is going back to the non TV development, he is no where close to ready.</p>
  21. Though that is becoming less true every year. I wish I could find this article I read late last year that talked about how the trend is moving away from US domestic being the big measuring stick of a movies success. It than looked at how that trend not just affecting what is determined a successful movie release but also the types of movies that are being made. It had a large focus on how Asian movie market trends are becoming almost as big of a factor as the US market. Also speaking of the foreign markets, I am still shocked a movie about Captain America has made over 450 million outside of the United States. Oh and yeah Days of Future Past was awesome and is easily the best X-Men movie.

I don't know if it his annoying character, his horrible finisher, or just the fact he can't work a 5 minute match. I just think he is someone who just isn't ready for TV (even if that TV is NXT).</p>

I mean sure some origins shouldn't be changed (Magneto, Batman, Superman) but others are open to new interpretations. If it wasn't for BTAS Mr. Freeze would be a lame villain with a freeze ray instead of one of the more sympathetic and tragic villains in comics. I will say the changes Arrow makes to The Green Arrow's origin are mostly vast improvements. No obsession with a Robin Hood TV show which made him take up archery as a kid, didn't fall of a boat drunk and no one notice, and he didn't decided to be a hero because he like how it felt to bust a drug growing business on an island. They did a good job removing most the dumb parts of his origin and making it seem much more epic.</p><p> </p><p> Also just a random weird thought, in 50 years time the Punsher will be a vet of a war that hasn't happened yet.</p>
  24. Did you stop watching Arrow because Billy Wintergreen was not Deathstroke? If you stopped watching I could understand why you would think he was, but if you kept watching you would know he wasn't.
