So many to choose from... Pretty much ay match vs Randy Savage or Bret Hart. A few involving Raven or Eddie Guerrero. Vs Goldberg (one of the very few Goldberg matches I actually like)... Such choices. Off the top of my head, the one that pops out most is DDP vs Randy Savage in the Falls Count Anywhere Match from 1997's The Great American Bash. Both guys were firing on all cylinders that night. Easily stole the show for me. Thanks for the awesome contest.

What? Why would you rather stay on ps3 or x 360 than to upgrade? I understand if you can't afford the switch but to make a conscious choice to stay on a system where new releases are getting scarce is weird
Can't speak for anyone else, but for me it's a combination of financial means and lack of desire. I live on a pretty tight budget, but could probably buy newer system with a credit card if I really wanted to have one. However, there has yet to be a "can't miss" game for me that hasn't also been released on PS3 (a few on the radar, but still nothing that I can't easily wait a few years to play). I don't care one bit about graphics or fancy features (closest I come to that is the roster rundown on WWE games) or online play. Just want fun games really. Until there are a handful of games on the newer systems that I must play and can't on PS3, I'm gonna keep on rockin' it old school.

Without the Accelerator I'd imagine you would have to unlock stuff like every year. He just means "Oh you don't want to play as the Legends? Just play as the normal guys in Exhibition" sort of thing. Gotcha, thanks. I'll most likely get this game, as it's the last WWE game for XBOX 360, and I have no intention of upgrading. I have (and still play with) Nintendo consoles from NES to N64. I'm old school that way. I ended up with a 360, simply because my sister's then-boyfriend refused to believe I didn't own a modern-day console. He insisted I take his extra red-ring repaired machine. I ended up trading in WWE 12, WWE 13, and Legends of WM, because to me, WWE 2K14 was perfect (Like I said, I'm old school). But the enlarged roster and getting to play with NXT guys is icing on the cake.
Glad I'm not the only old school preferred gamer around these parts. I still rock the NES and Genesis regularly. Got a PS3 and plan on getting WWE 2K16 for it, but as of now I have zero desire to ever upgrade to the newer systems. Just hope the PS3/XBox360 version doesn't get gutted as far as the roster goes. I'm totally fine with "WWE 2K14 2.0" as long as it has the full roster.

Virginia you say? Somewhere around Danville I assume? Not very close. Should I be concerned about Danville, lol? Update: Three out of four packages were delivered. The fourth package was supposed to go from CT to Va, instead it went to San Diego. Not joking. It wasn't at a final destination, maybe it was badly mis-routed? I always print ebay shipping labels and was able to confirm the address, so I know it wasn't my mistake. Craziness, man.
Yeah, that happens with USPS sometimes. Packages can take really weird, seemingly inefficient routes. Heck, I live in Florida and have sent things within the same state that, for some reason, ended up going all the way to Atlanta or even Chicago before coming back into Florida to be delivered. Not sure why that happens, but it's not all that unusual really.

I think you're asking if you can pay for the entire amount of something on a debit card rather than using a combination of paypal balance and debit card. Short answer to that is that you can't. Paypal requires you to us whatever is in your paypal balance first, so if you have a balance, you have to use that before any other payment type.

Do people really believe in paranormal stuff? I mean sure it's fascinating but I find it irritating that whenever there is something that can't be explained (yet) people blame it on God, ghosts or other paranormal stuff.
It's not so much as a belief for me. I've seen things that simply can't be explained by conventional means to the point that paranormal happenings are a fact, not a belief. That said, for every 100 people who claim to experience something like a haunting, what's happening to 95 of those people can be very easily explained. Throw out another three that can be explained with a little digging or investigating. Of the two that remain, one of them is usually something a little more on the outside of normal, but still explainable by worldly means. That leave only one that's a genuine haunting of some sort. It's very rare, but it does happen.
I'll one hundred percent agree that far too many people jump to the paranormal as an explanation before ruling out other reasons. However, that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist at all.

Just watch Balor's entrance... Pretty good actually. Make the lighting darker and it's pretty much spot on. Well, at least as spot on as a wrestling video game will ever be. There's subtle nuances in human movement that exist within a superstar's entrance that can never be replicated in video game form, no matter how good they become.

As someone who has investigated and experienced many aspects of the paranormal realm, I can tell you that hauntings, especially ones in which objects are actually moved a significant distance, are extremely rare. The abundance of ghost shows around in the past few years have done a real disservice to true hauntings. They just don't happen as often as one would be led to think based on such shows and films. Yes, there are spirits or spirit energy all around us and yes, a real, honest to goodness haunting does happen sometimes, just rarely.
You could easily be sleepwalking. Lots of people do that and it's not always a chronic thing (ie not every night or for years on end). Often, things like stress, big life changes, fluctuations in health, or a host of other aspects can cause a person to sleepwalk from time to time. And people can do some really weird things while sleepwalking. Opening doors (even locked ones) is common. So is moving things. Heck, I've talked with a man who would actually get dressed, leave the house, and take a walk around the block all in his sleep. Just saying that it's not at all out of the realm of possibility that you did move the glasses while sleepwalking. And you probably wouldn't remember. Sleepwalkers rarely do remember what they've done and often end up sleepwalking right back into bed.
The TV turning on and off is something I've experience in a genuine haunting a couple times. However, it's also something I've experience far more often when it can easily be explained by faulty/glitchy wiring on the outlet or outlets.
It's certainly possible that you have a mischievous spirit at work, just not likely. If it is a spirit, there's usually nothing to worry about. Most haunting are completely harmless. Maybe a little annoying at times, but not dangerous. As rare as a true haunting is, it's ten times rarer to find one with an evil or dangerous spirit involved.
It's most likely that what you're experiencing is simple human happenstance and nothing paranormal or spirit related at all. That said, if you wanted to investigate a little more, by all means, have fun doing so. You don't need to be a professional or have loads of fancy equipment to do a little light investigating into strange happenings. If you have or can afford a basic video camera or audio recorder, those are the best tools anyone could use. Barring those, a simple pen and paper to write down what you experience and when (including dates and times) can do wonders in helping to notice patterns.
Bottom line is not to worry too much about it. Sleepwalkers rarely do potentially harmful things and spirits are very rarely dangerous.

Have the same problem myself from time to time. Usually when trying to load pages with videos or lots of pictures. The screen will flash a few times, then show me a blurb box about the display driver having stopped and being reset or something like that. Typically, that will happen two or three times before I get hit with a blue screen and the laptop restarts. I've tried virus scans, malware scans, updating and reinstalling drivers, even did a totally factory reset on the laptop twice. Still happens and I can't seem to ever find a reason why.

I believe eBay will automatically up your limit after 90 days as a seller (assuming you don't wig out on a buyer and not send an item or something). Once you reach your 10 item limit (of which I think only sold items count, so if you list ten items in a month, but only six sell, you can relist four) you should probably get an e-mail about requesting an increase in your selling limits. Of course, you can certainly just call them and ask for an increase too. They'll ask you questions and might up your limit. Might not, but it could be worth a shot. Worst that can happen is they say no.
One thing I can say for sure... Do NOT try to get around the selling limits with any sort of backdoor tricks or tips you might read online. Most of those are against eBay's policies and are a great way to get yourself banned from selling for anywhere from a day to forever. If you call to request an increase in your selling limits and eBay denies you, just deal with the limit until they increase it after so much time. It's frustrating as a new seller, that's for sure, but it's kind of become a necessary move on eBay's part (from a business standpoint) with all the deadbeat sellers they've had in recent years.

Nope... No way around it other than patience. It's just because you're a newbie to the selling racket. They want to make sure you're legit before letting you loose is all. Be patient and be a good seller and the limit will be lifted soon.
And just a little tip about wrestling figures when you're selling... You might want to consider selling common ones that aren't work much in lots, particularly if they're not in original boxes. You'll typically get more profit out of common ones by selling in groups of three of four loose figures (which fit perfectly in a Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelope once bubbled wrapped) than you would parting them out individually. Definitely stick to individual sales for anything rare or hard to find though.

Yeah, I'd give Owens the slight edge simply because he's better on the mic than Balor. Both are about equal in ring (though have completely different styles). Both have the same amount of presence about them (though, again, very different). But Balor definitely needs a bit more refinement on the mic whereas Owens is already among the best stick men WWE has.

Mine would be the same thing I've used on the main created wrestler in WWE 2K13 and 2K14...

So... Am I the only one who doesn't think Balor wins the NXT Championship at the Japan show?
Does he deserve it? Sure. He's the second best (behind Owens) NXT has to offer. I just don't see Owens losing it yet and I don't see Balor as someone who NEEDS to win it before heading to the main roster. I think he will later this year though, just not yet.

I pretty much agree with The Bellas being forced as far as popularity and screen time. But, on the other hand, I do have to commend them both for actually trying to get better in the ring. Brie was the best main roster diva not named Natalya for a while there. Right up until she kinda of checked out and started thinking about being a Mother more than a diva. You can kind of tell her heart's not totally in it these days. Nikki used to be completely awful in matches, but she's actually come a long way since then and you can see she's put in some extra work to get better. She's not great by any means, but depending on who she's working with, Nikki can put on a pretty solid match. Can't hate on either of them too much because of that. Sure, their standing in the WWE has been largely manufactured and forced, but that's too be expected. Divas don't get over organically (hell, the guys hardly do anymore). Even everyone's favorite "anti-diva" Paige was placed in her spot once she came to the main roster.

A-Double would be an excellent addition to NXT.
But hell, NXT, TNA, ROH ... As long as Austin Aries is on my TV somewhere, I'll be happy.

I think I'm gonna try and wait until the season is over for this one, then binge watch the whole thing. The wait from one episode to the next was terrible with the first season and it was actually better when watched back to back all at once. Now, whether or not I can hold out for ten weeks is another story. LOL

People call me crazy all the time for spouting about my beliefs towards an eminent extinction event. To me, it's simple. Animals are dying in record numbers because humans have bulldozed their homes and depleted their natural food sources. Not to mention the rampant poaching that's been done. The world works on balance. Human beings have irresponsibly thrown the world out of balance. It's not the just animals either. The environmental damage that's been done is frightening in some aspects. And that doesn't even bring into question the massive explosion in human population that there's been in the last few hundred years. Our world needs balance to exist and sustain itself. Mother Nature used to do a wonderful job of keeping that balance. Sometimes it's tragic and brutal, but it happens for a reason. Unfortunately, we humans have been laughing in Mother Nature's face for a long time now in many ways and it seems clear to me that she's getting a little tired of it. She's been sending warning signs for some time. She's trying to tell us to dial it back. As the dominate species on the planet, it's our responsibility to ensure that Earth is around for future generations. It's our responsibility to listen when Mother Nature speaks. We're not listening. Eventually, Mother Nature is going to get really pissed off about it and wipe a large portion of us out. She's going do it with a tear in her eye and she's going to destroy more than just us... Plants and animals will also be devastated. Oceans will rise and wipe out large pockets of land. The earth will shake and reshape itself. Life as we know it will be changed forever. She doesn't want to do that, but she will if we give her not other choice. If we don't start taking some steps towards respecting and preserving our planet again, Mother Nature will have no option but to reset things. We're approaching that point of no return already and seem to be getting closer and closer every year.
I don't have the answers on what to do exactly. It starts with small steps in our own lives. Beyond that it will probably take a collective effort on the part of large portions of the human population. Things need to be done without concern to profit, social status, or nationality. Unfortunately, I fear we, as a species, have grown far too divided and selfish to maintain the type of global benefit thought process that it would take to turn things around at this point and that's a terrible shame indeed.
Something big is coming. It might not happen in our life time, but our grandchildren's children could be the ones who suffer Mother Nature's wrath.
Call me a nutcase if you want. That's okay... I've heard it before.

I don't remember where I read it, but I swear I heard somewhere online that the 2k16 cover was going to feature multiple superstars...
Brock Lesnar in the center with Rollins, Ambrose, Reigns, and Cena on either side of him and The Authority faded in the background.
Again, don't know where I heard that or if maybe I dreamed it up...

Never done one myself (kinda want to to fund building a tiny house), but I've spent a lot of time browsing various projects from other people. Been my experience that the ones that are successfully funded are from people with a history of fan base. Something like a musical artist funding a solo album or a game studio creating a sequel to a much beloved video game. Average people without an already established fan base tend not to have much luck unless their desired funding goal is pretty low (ie under $500) and even then it's kind of a crapshoot. Kinda dig your HARRY HAS SOME VISITORS book (I'm a total sucker for anything Bigfoot/Sasquatch related). Gonna have to grab myself a copy when I get some extra funds. Probably will back your kickstarter if I can in a couple weeks. Am a writer myself, so it couldn't hurt to have some good karma points if the time ever comes to try and publish my works (well, publish again - long story behind that). Plus, I like weird cryptid stuff. Good luck in reaching your goal.
