<p>Wow that shot was horrible! Who throws an overhand "worked" punch like that? I was personally always the guy who prefers throwing forearms instead of punches because it is easier to protect your opponent without sacrificing too much in visual. I only think punches should be thrown when a babyface is giving a heel their comeuppance right before the end of a match (The Rock and Stone Cold come to mind here in their comeback spots because those kind can still protect your opponent).</p><p> </p><p> But I think she just contributed to Becky's Austin 3:16 moment because that made her into a star. I don't even watch the product but there was no ignoring the rumbling that night.</p>

The original Dragon Ball never resonated with me too much as I didn't even watch it until a few years ago. Also the character growth of Vegeta is awful. I hated the fact that he needs Bulma to achieve SSJ4. </p><p> </p><p> In Super everything Goku achieves is done by accident while Vegeta works his but off and passes him occasionally. The way it is looking is GT is not going to be on this timeline (which I'm fine with as these god characters and multiple universes is way more interesting IMO).</p><p> </p><p> I say watch the movies and see if it is gelling with you.</p>

IKR we watched half of the first season of Seven Deadly Sins before we realized that they were having scenes after the credits. When they started referencing some of those moments my misses and I were had a collective WTF.

In her defense our house is only 2 bedroom and we have 2 kids. If there was more room there would be more junk lol LMAO yeah after 12 years I've learned to just go with the flow on things like that.

I literately just finished Dragon Ball Super today! I'm about 2 episodes into the new season of Seven Deadly Sins but that is a show I can only watch when my wife and I have aligned our schedules perfectly. Also about 3 episodes into season 2 of Overlord (highly recommend) I like SAO but given my age my brain keeps screaming at me "THIS IS A .HACK RIP OFF" and it hinders my ability to enjoy it as much as I want to.

You book The Unnatural like Bray Wyatt should've been booked all along. Sorry for flaking on the poster. I'm working so much I just can't bring myself to do them. Your booking is unmatched on this board my friend.

I'm confused for some reason my last comment was deleted. Don't know what I said wrong but oh well.

<p>Its got to be those strong style side knees that big sexy throws <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> On a serious note he was always good at working his match and when he was over he could almost do no wrong. An over worker in a pop over performance fed can show up with a pulse and put on a MOTY candidate. </p><p> </p><p> I have to point to Hogan vs. Rock as the easiest real life example. Neither guy did nothing in the match and that was highly regarded as both guy's top performances.</p><p> </p><p> BTW how did all 4 guys score in the 90's and that match only rate as an 84? That is a crime in itself.</p>

God knows my parents were not good drivers of this point either. </p><p> </p><p> Also I smoked until I was 12 without my parents knowledge as convenient stores used to have their cartons of cigarettes in the aisles. I would just go wearing a thick jacket with an inside pocket and steal them. I would buy a candy bar to not raise too much suspicion but I would do this all the time at different stores. I lived around 15 different gas stations so I never had the go into the same one in the same year. It was a game to me and thinking back on it I was smart and an idiot at the same time.</p><p> </p><p> When my parents did find out about me smoking they never even questioned how I was getting them but instead just started buying them for me. I never really knew what it was like to buy them for myself until I moved out.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> As far as the debate between you and moon goes there has been things coming out about cancer that is interesting. She is not wrong on how cancer is caused as it is looking more and more like a genetics thing rather then everyone who does x will lead to y.</p><p> </p><p> Now people who have cancer in their genetics are more likely to get cancer from smoking but it is not the end all. But it will eventually kill you from some other type of lung disease like emphysema. So technically you are both right.</p>

<p>I've done a lot of research on addiction because I was tired of relapsing. It was easy for me to put the pack down but I would always go back to it easily. Eventually I realized I was slipping in and out of depression and if I was addicted to anything harder than cigarettes I would have just latched onto those things as well.</p><p> </p><p> I ended up getting counseling and when I settled those issues it was really easy to keep them down.</p><p> </p><p> Congrats to your brother as well. In all honesty when I see someone smoking a cigarette now I think it looks absolutely amazing but smells terrible lol <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

Yeah in my opinion she is not very relatable. As a heel you don't have to be and it works better for her.

The way I read your statement I thought she went solo so I was like "What was WWE thinking?" Honestly Vince is the person that ruins commentators IMO. If you watched the UK tournament Michael Cole was a joy to listen to because he was actually calling the match and not shilling for WWE merchandise and upcoming PPVs. Vince just doesn't understand having your lead commentator sounding like an infomercial hack is hurting the product. Those kind of segments are better served between matches not during the match itself. Sorry I went off the rails but it is a big contributor as to why I can't stomach watching the shows anymore.</p>

Welcome back! I'm currently on vacation and will not be back until the second week of August. If anyone wants to do the Halloween Havoc poster in my stead just PM TFC or myself.

I was wondering how you pulled that off? I've had two indy jobbers go 90 minutes for lols and gotten a higher score.
