No way will D-Bry ever be as over as cena. He already is, more so in fact. The last few weeks Bryan has been getting the strongest reaction by far. Cena is hardly getting one anymore, it so tiring that less people care about anything he does anymore. The sad part of this is, all this will lead to is Bryan being fed to Cena, instead of beating Cena, which should happen.

It's one of my favorite matches. I used to watch it all the time back in the day, watched it again recently and it still holds up. It is one the Attitude Era DVD basically unedited (save Taker's entrance music) in case anyone was wondering.

1. No
2. It all depends on how you live. If you live cheaply and don't have a great amount of debt, $12.50 an hour isn't too bad of a wage. For someone like me who has massive student loan payments and a car payment every month, $12.50 an hour is not enough for me to live off of. I only make $10 an hour at my current job. 5/6 of my monthly income goes to all the bills I mentioned.

That awesome, makes me wish I went to Mania this year, I really wanted to, but couldn't afford it.
I've never made in on TV at any of the events I've been too, never had seats in those sections, but I did make it into WWE Magazine one time. It was a large, two page picture of John Cena AA-ing Randy Orton through the announce table at Bragging Rights 2009. You can't see me too well, but I'm able to point myself out.

Final UpdateGovernor Mark Dayton has signed Minnesota's gay marriage bill, which will go into effect on August 1st, 2013. "Conservative" groups have already gone into hunting their own and have singled out MN Senator Branden Peterson, the only Republican member of the Senate to vote for the gay marriage bill (he also co-sponsored it), as someone who they will be working to remove from office. The 27-year-old Peterson, by the way, has one of the most fiscally conservative records in the state since he took office in 2011. ... just another example of "social conservatives" disregarding actual issues like government spending in favor of bitching about gay people. This is something that I, and many other people, agree with, but "old school conservative" Republicans are too blinded by their own arrogance to see what's really going on in present day America. As far as this topic goes, it's a good thing. Whether you as a person support or don't support gay marriage, it doesn't matter. EVERYONE deserves the right to marry the one they love regardless of sexual orientation. It's only a matter of time before gay marriage is legalized in all 50 states.

At my job, I currently work 6:30pm-3:00am, I don't know if that is technically considered the "graveyard shift" but close. I hate it and am I desperate need of finding a different job with a much more favorable shift. Social life is gone, enjoying the day is gone. It sucks. My belief is that it's not a shift that everyone can handle. Some can, but many people, myself included, aren't the right cut for it.

2012 was pretty rough for me, 2013 has been the same way.
At the end of January I had no choice but to go back to a previous place of employment that I swore I would never go back to because I wanted to improve my professional life. When that happened, I felt like a complete failure and fought near depression. The bitter icing on the cake with this is that it is a third shift job (including weekend nights) meaning I barely get to see my friends much, some I have only seen once since I started this job.
My student loans payments increased this year, meaning even with this job, I barely have any spending money, at least 90% of every paycheck goes to either loans, car payments, or bills.
For those in this thread who have talked about being single for years, I've been single my whole life, I'm 25.
While I'm on that subject, I think part of that has to do with my incredibly strong fear of rejection, I have developed that over the years from growing up, possibly because I was a target of bullying. The other part probably has to do with my inability to get over an unrequited crush for the past four years. I've tried and failed at this for reason I can't explain or every comprehend myself.
While all of that seems negative, I get through each day realizing that things could always be worse. I hate my job, but there are people in this world that would give up everything just to have that job. I have no "me" money, but to even have one dollar is still better than being broke. I have no love life, but at same time, it's better to be alone and find the right time than to jump into something with someone just for the sake of not being alone.
Here's to a great rest of 2013 for all of us.

As long as Cena doesn't win, I'm all for Taker vs. Cena next year. I could still see Rock/Brock happening, there was a tiny tease at it tonight. I'm not as convinced on Austin/Punk, yes, I want to see it, but I don't see it happening at WM30 with two other huge matches already on the card.

I remember both those matches. The first one is the one where Triple H tore his quad the first time (I can't imagine how painful the walls of Jericho on the table was for him, the tear happened before that). TLC 3 was great as well. Both are very underappreciated matches. I would like to see them released on DVD's at some point, but that doesn't seem likely based on who one of the participants in both matches is. I wish we would get more matches like these on free TV today.

Just recently. There's been a lot of problems recently, but believe it or not the thing that broke the final straw for me was Ryback's heel turn. He ING WALKED AWAY FROM A FIGHT. I was loving Ryback and he was prime for a run at the top, but in a week they shattered that for John Cena. Ryback was getting stronger reactions than Cena week after week. Ugh this ing company. The Shield vs. Brothers of Destruction and Bryan was the only thing I watched on RAW, and Ambrose/Undertaker is the only thing I'll see on SmackDown. Everything is just such a drag to watch nowadays, and there's no consistent direction with the company. It's just frustrating to watch and I'm waiting for Punk to get back already. That's not allowed in WWE, they have such a problem with it, it's beyond pathetic. I honestly believe they fear anyone having a chance at replacing Cena.

Pittsburgh gets a least two shows are year, sometimes three. This year we had Raw in March and are getting a Smackdown taping in September, rumored to have Rumble or Chamber in 2014. We had Raw twice last year, and have had a few house shows since the Consol Energy Center opened in late 2010.

WWE got exactly what they wanted, up the price ridiculously high and "set the record" for highest grossing WrestleMania despite having a much smaller buy-rate. Mission accomplished.

Legal or not that's a serious invasion of privacy. The only person who knows my facebook and twitter passwords is me, and it will stay that way. If a company isn't going to hire me based on something I posted on facebook or twitter, then I don't want to work for that company. I don't have a problem with a potential employer looking them up, I have nothing to hide, so go ahead, but to ask for the passwords is just insane.

It seems like he's in better shape than he's been the past couple years, he got physical with Punk leading up the WrestleMania, where the last two years, all he did in the build-up with Triple H was cut promos. He can obviously still go, so we may see him more often this year, not all year, but more than once a month.

WWE seems to just be phoning it in lately. I've watched since 1997 and I feel this may be the least interested I've been since then. There isn't much develop and most of the show just appears to be random stuff thrown out there. WrestleMania suffered because the only focused on three matches, all of predictable outcomes. They aren't building up new stars, which is going to be a huge problem when Cena isn't around anymore.

I would be more excited if it was the Rumble in Pittsburgh and not EC, I'd go regardless, but the Rumble is more significant and we haven't had a "big 4" PPV since Summerslam 95

I didn't mind the draft when it first started, you saw one group talent on Raw, and the other one Smackdown. To me, it started to lose it's significance when Smackdown's top talent were drafted to Raw and Raw mid-carders were drafted to Smackdown, making Smackdown much less relevant than Raw.

I used to watch re-runs all the time, always enjoyed this show. I sometime wonder what it would be like if Bob Saget put his stand up comedy in the show.

What are some thoughts on them. I am asking this because I know someone who is fighting hard to keep his place of employment, a casino where he is a valet, from unionizing it's workers. Now, I'm no expert on unions, I don't know much about them, but the impression I have is that they are a good thing. The person who is strongly protesting them is doing so because he feels he already has enough benefits. He is also bothered by the fact that the only employees in favor of unionizing are the "lazy people" as he calls them. I know that a lot of members here are in the work force and may even deal with unions. If you can educate me more on this matter I would appreciate it. Here is a article the protester linked on his facebook account earlier today www.observer-reporter.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20130418%2FBREAKING%2F130419281#.UXGUUtzD-M8
