Just to be clear the guy I'm debating this with other than you that "agrees" with you is either YOU or knows you personally in the "real" world. I went back through and looked at his posts and almost everything this guy does on the boards involves you in some way. The first three posts he ever made were all replies to something you posted.

I wonder if I went back and broke down his posts what percentage of them would involve you I don't have that amount of free time luckily for you but I'd wager a good amount of 50 percent of them involving you.

 

1. You're right there is nothing wrong with it. However I just like to point out how without fail if someone mentions John Cena you come running with the torches and pitchforks. Google Mark David Champman sometime and you'll know the exact vibe I get from you.

 

2. Your second point is the same as your first. You don't like the guy, you never will. I realize this believe me I realize this however I like to point out to you every chance I get how insane you sound and how it has gone from being "SM82 doesn't like him" to "Cena needs a restraining order"

 

3. So you think John Cena spends hours and hours and hours of his personal time doing this charity work because he's a good company man? I really don't even know what you're saying here. I guess you're saying maybe he's evil....maybe he's not. Which can be said for every human being thats ever been on this planet.....so thank you Captain Obvious?

At the end of the day Comradebot wasn't talking to you but you still rushed in here to give a paragraph on your hate to John Cena. However you get all whiny when I come in here and dismantle every reason you have for hating the guy outside of "I hate the character John Cena plays on television" of course now you've learned how silly that is so now you just hate the "performer" as well.

Stay classy SM82 and somebody give Cena a heads up next time he heads to Portugal.

 

All got from your post was that you needed two guys to pm you before you realized akujy knows me. Of ourse he does. He once had to post here that my account wasn't working. That itself was a pretty good sign that we get along. The fact that he nominated me was a surprise, especially because I hadn't posted a show yet. I never asked him to comment or even read it in the first place. Much like I din't even asked him to come here and talk about it. The fact that you think I would, makes me wonder if you actually think I'm that kind of person. Between all the arguments we ever had, there alway some mutual respect, even when things got heated. So i always thought you could at least think I'm not that kind of person. I'm pretty sure most of his posts follow mine, since we do get along. Tha doen't make his opinion void. I am one of the main reasons he posts here, as he is the reason I post in some other places. The fact users are sending you pm's about me or my friends is pretty much amusing to me. I feel honoured.

 

Funny thing about DOTM nominations? Check the poles and see how many guys vote for their friends. I never thought that to be weird. It is likely to happen.

 

Moving on to your actual post, you basically ignored the fact that I, once again, said I don't dislike the man, but the performer. And you keep insisting that I do. I did solid arguments explaining that sometimes people will hate someone's work for illogical reasons. I have those, I also have logical ones. All fine and dandy. And if you do feel the same about some peformer, you wll most likely know how that is like, and that sometimes we will do some exagerated posts. I feel that this discussion has ran it's course in here. But we can always continue it privately. As always it was a pleasure. Until the next time (there will most likely be one) I respectfully (as always) bid you fairwell.

 

Ps: I will keep hating John Cena. Funny thing about that? It's not as irrational as I make it sound sometimes, but it's pretty interesting to see how so many people considered my posts, or my friends posts to be that important to even PM about them. I never actually PM'ed about anyone's posts, much because I respect everyone's opinion. The bottom line here, I will never stop disliking Cena. So can we move on from this? You seem to take my posts personally, I have no idea why! I sometimes agree with you, others I don't. But unless you were here insulting me, I don't take opinions personally. Now can we agree to disagree on this? If we don't, I feel this discussion might return, and that is pointless.

 

I'm done with this subject.Take care.

[shawn michaels]

Speaking of actual WWE stuff, am I the only one thinking that Christian needs to start telegraping his new finsher? The rollup?

 

Also, the booking of Del Rio as a champ by this point, seems pretty bad. Is there anyone who won't beat him? I loved the Bryan shirt, that was funny. But I feel that being a barber was Barrett's biggest push in a while, which is sad.

This is all pretty much amazing to me. That is all I will say. I don't even know Stennick, but as I also don't like Cena and I know Shawn, I have no right to express myself. And good for me. People are talking about my posts, awesome. I have no idea how much of Shawn's posts I commented exactly, but I'm pretty sure that most of my posts are probably associated with his. He was the main reason why I got to know this place, and his dynasty was the main reason I posted in recent days. I'm usually one of those users that mostly reeds and never talks that much but I learned my lesson. I can only post where I'm told to post and It seems my opinion is not relevant because I know Shawn. Good for me. Good for me! Now I know where I am not allowed to post! Sorry Shawn, it seems I have to avoid every single one of your posts. Good for me!

And about Barrett the barber being the highlight of his year? I'm afraid so. Del Rio, Christian, RVD, Ziggler, Sandow and Rhodes are higher on the WHC totem pole now. Better luck next year Barrett.

[Teh_Showtime]

That ship has sailed for Wade sadly. He could still be a strong midcarder but he won't be a world champion ever.

 

Then again he hasn't sunk to losing to Hornswoggle like Ziggler was doing at one point so there is (slim) hope if Ziggy came back from that

A lot of people still think that ship hasn't sailed. I agree with you Show. Sad, but true. the guy deserved a little more imo.

[Tha Black Phenom]

I knew his time would soon be up as soon as he switched his finisher to a silly elbow smash. It honestly makes me yearn for the Wasteland back and that's saying something. You need to be seriously credible overness-wise to adopt a ridiculous "finisher", not to mention a man twice his size, Big Show, has that covered(although it's a right hand but still).

<p>NXT Review:</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Neville vs Ambrose</strong> - Solid match with obligatory Shield interference. Looks like Shield will be putting over Neville, Graves & Woods soon.</p><p>

<strong>Summer vs Emma</strong> - Emmertaining dance battle. Emma was goofy and Summer's reactions were perfect. Made me laugh. Loud crowd chants for a Divas segment -- only on NXT.</p><p>

<strong>Leo Kruger promo</strong> - Every bit as creepy and awesome as a Wyatt Family promo. "They laughing at you, Bo. Ta ta."</p><p>

<strong>Burch vs Breeze</strong> - Squash match. Breeze is killing it with this gimmick. I just hope it doesn't get boring too quickly.</p><p>

<strong>Bo Dallas backstage</strong> - His interview with Renee Young was corny in a funny way. "When the champ is down. Don't stop bo-lieving..."</p><p>

<strong>Kruger vs Dallas</strong> - Quality match. Both guys displayed variety in their moveset and showed off their characters to good effect. Lots of boos for Dallas and "You still suck!" chants when he hit a clothesline from the turnbuckle and later when he kicked out. Kruger had the crowd behind him. Bo winning with a submission move was a nice suprise!</p><p> </p><p>

Verdict: Good show. The NXT Title match delivered, loved Leo Kruger's promo, the Divas segment entertained the crowd instead of boring them, and A-Ry joined the commentary team.</p><p> </p><p>

Anyone else really into Summerslam this year? The past few years have felt like "just another PPV" but with Bryan being as hot as he is and Punk/Lesnar I really feel like it's a big deal again.

They haven't worked most of the other stories that good or at all,some were even clearly last minute decisions, but they did a great job with the 2 main events.

<p>SD Review:</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Orton vs RVD</strong> - Another face vs face feud -- not suprising with the chemistry these two have. Great match with a few highlight-worthy spots. Good to hear the crowd cheering for both guys.</p><p>

<strong>Miz TV</strong> - Predictable but with AJ, Big E, Dolph & Kaitlyn it was a mildly entertaining way to make the SS mixed tag match official.</p><p>

<strong>Fandango vs Kofi</strong> - Improvement on last week's match. Fandango made it 1-1 after Kofi was fooled into thinking he caused Summer to hurt her ankle.</p><p>

<strong>Bryan vs Barrett</strong> - The Beardless Barrage looked good but The GOAT won when Barrett made the mistake of trying to shave him mid-match.</p><p>

<strong>Kane vs 3MB</strong> - The match did it's job -- make Kane look like a beast. Bray Wyatt delivered a good promo about the Ring of Fire match.</p><p>

<strong>Lesnar promo</strong> - He cut a solid pre-taped promo spliced with footage hyping The Best vs The Best.</p><p>

<strong>Christian vs Del Rio</strong> - Christian won a good match with a small package. Christian hit a Kill Switch after the match. Sandow tried to cash in but Rhodes stopped him. It's a surprise they gave this away on TV but I think it was necessary to get both guys more over before the WHC Title match. I expect Ricardo to interfere at SS which would add some drama. </p><p> </p><p>

Verdict: Quality show. Orton and RVD were the standout performers.</p><p> </p><p>

<p>Smackdown Review 8/9/13</p><p> </p><p>

Orton vs RVD - Great match! Didn't actully see it, But it was great! (B+)</p><p>

Miz TV - I can now say that AJ and Big E will be going up against Kaitlyn and Ziggler. (B)</p><p>

Fandango vs Kofi - Fandango stole one from Kofi (unfortunatly) which was a good match.........but a bit of a swerve. (B-)</p><p>

Bryan vs Barrett - "BARRETT TAPS OUT! "BARRETT TAPS OUT!" Uh, Does it matter? Barrett's a jobber. If he doesn't do a shoot OR start a new stable soon. *placing the axe near Barrett's head and does a cuthroat to Wade Barrett's career* (B+)</p><p>

Kane vs 3MB - Squash.....But hell. Hell of a promo. (C for match, A+ for promo)</p><p>

Lesnar promo - Nice to see Brockster keeping the Punk vs Brock feud strong. (A)</p><p>

Christian vs Del Rio- Christian's winning the title. Del Rio sucks as world champion, this should be his last title reign ever for Del Rio. (A-)</p><p> </p><p>

Final Result: A, I loved this show! Talk about greatness fufilled!</p>

<p>Nice Raw before Summerslam. </p><p> </p><p>

I thought the highlights were the Cena/Brya/Miz segment. I thought Cena killed it talking about that Make-A-Wish kid and having just tiniest crack in his voice. Really good stuff from him.</p><p> </p><p>

The battle royal was pretty solid as far as they go. I thought the Henry/RVD spot was entertaining. The Big Show's comeback was a little uneventful but I'minterested to see where it goes. </p><p> </p><p>

I was also marking out a little for the Usos. They've grown on me there's a piece of me that wants to see them and PTP in the mix for them Shield belts.</p>
