I watched the show live last night but was far too tired to thread head so I streamed the watch along on my phone simultaneously which was fairly enjoyable, I’d be pissed to be whoever had to clean up all the skittles on the floor lol. That being said it was a decent PPV. I wish somebody would explain to me why Shinsuke’s changed his gear though, it looks so odd. I can almost 100% guarantee that was a Vince McMahon decision. I'm certain he finally paid attention to a Nakamura match one time and noticed how Shinsuke's collarbones kinda jutted out and looked a little odd compared to most people, so he had him put a top on.

Yep. Wad moving a chair inside my house one time. Just a few inches over and caught my big toe just right to almost completely rip the nail off. Oddly didn't hurt at all until the next day, when it started throbing.
Didn't go to a doctor though. Just pushed it back down and put a piece of gauze on top, the wrapped it in medical tape. Fused itself back in place nicely, though that particular nail is now a little harder than the others.

I genuinely like most the current crop of superstars in WWE and have never been one to tune out or change the channel when wrestling is on. That said, I will sometimes fast forward through a promo or match (depending on who they're facing) when these guys or gals come on...
- Shane McMahon - Roman Reigns - Hulk Hogan - Ronda Rousey - Brock Lesnar

The commentary will never change style so long as Vince McMahon is constantly in the ear of everyone wearing a headset. IMO, all the commentators they have now all more than capable of calling a match on their own without such direction, but for whatever reason Vince McMahon feels it's necessary to constantly be babbling in their ears and giving them direction.

The Native American thing, skin color and identity politics in general, are an immensely stupid thing to base your vote off of. I have a hard time even discussing it at this point in my life. People are still teaching their children dumb things about the differences people have and until that stops, we're not going to get anywhere. Also, if the call I think I'm reading is that people voted for Obama based on his skin color, there are people that regularly vote for white candidates for exactly that reason which is just as dumb. Elizabeth Warren is a brilliant woman. She seems genuine to me, she intelligently looks at what she's laying out and she has plans and process for everything at this point and I can't even get excited about that because people are more concerned with how 'weird' they think she is when she webcasts herself having a beer or bringing up the Native American thing like it matters one way or the other. THIS is the real societal issue in that we've gone so deep into shallow existences that bluster seems to be what matters and that's why we have a 'bigly' failed businessman and a glorified TV producer in the White House instead of someone who can actually do some good. Again, I would vote for a sea urchin if their policies reflected change that gets money out of politics, fairly reassembles voting on a national level and most of all, keeps people like Brett Kavanaugh, Rand Paul, Mitch McConnell or any other snake who utilizes religion and/or false patriotism to attack anyone who disagrees with them hopefully eventually out of politics for good. It's old, it's disgusting and it makes me want to leave a country I have really loved and feel fortunate to have grown up with (older family members are WW vets, I'm the great great grandson of a slave, the list goes on. I am here and free because of them and no one can take that from me no matter how much I disagree with what they say). I'm not going to sit back and listen to any of the nonsense Republicans spew about 'Democrats not having plans', because they do...they just aren't plans that line their and their lobbyists pockets and aren't plans that have any real backing for old, tired business we are long overdue in moving on from. It baffles me how, year after year, election after election, people can eat up the same Republican charade masked as patriotism and just constantly lose their own money, health, quality of life to 'win at politics' and feel good about arguing with their friends and family when in actuality they could be learning a new trade BECAUSE OF THE GOVERNMENT, actually feel like they're helping out and moving forward with the rest of the world. That said, I don't feel like the mud slinging has gotten TOO bad when it comes to these debates so far. The air is starting to clear with the most recent one and there is a lot of agreement on stage about a lot of good things and a lot of civil discussion. IT'S NIGHT AND DAY COMPARED TO THE LAST REPUBLICAN DEBATES. Like talk about selling your soul to the devil...absolutely anyone who saw the way Trump behaved during those debates, before, after, since, and still can willingly vote for him just really boggles my mind. My biggest issue so far is the fact that the Green New Deal or anything in line with it is being brought up as 'fantasy'. So many companies, corporations, places that have provided jobs in the past have been forced OUT of existence because they are no longer relevant and no one has batted an eyelash. To keep things like coal, fossil fuel auto and anything else that should go the way of the dinosaur for both HEALTH and EXISTENCE reasons around just so the people already involved in them can continue to make money is bafflingly stupid. There is absolutely no reason we can't transition these things out, create new jobs for others and let the people at the top of the mountain when it comes to those sectors DEAL WITH IT. They are owed nothing. That is capitalism. It isn't taking advantage of the system, it's the fact that you have to adapt or you fall by the wayside and we will continue to improve when that happens, if it ever does. If not, I will see you guys in 50 years and we will all talk about how unbearably hot it is outside and hopefully by then our grandkids have some sort of injection that protects them and are boarding a spaceship of some kind to work towards leaving. If it gets like that, I will die happy knowing I was on the right side of history and everyone who wasn't, I hope you can look your descendants in the eye without immense shame and guilt, but if you do feel those things, you deserve them. Fantastic post... If more people thought and acted like this we, as a society and a world, would truly be evolving and on our way to a bright future instead of allowing our souls to decay as our humanity erodes and our planet is destroyed.

205 Live continues, week in and week out, to be THE best start to finish wrestling show around. It's really a shame that hardly anyone watches it because IMO, if you're a true wrestling fan, you owe it to yourself to watch 205 Live. It's really a shame that WWE doesn't care about the show or the Cruiserweight Championship all that much and sadly, I can't see the show lasting long term as is. Just start putting the CW Title match on the main PPV instead of always on the kickoff show and you'll increaser your 205 Live viewers for sure. That or fold the 205 Live roster and CW Title into NXT.
Drew Gulak, in particular, is one of those special talents who makes anyone he's working with seem better than they are (even when they're already really good) just by working with them. Excellent match wit Gulak vs Scott this week.
Also, if you haven't already, go back and watch Gallagher vs Gable from last week. Legit MOTY candidate right there if you ask me.

Just a question for those who have more experience: I received a seller-issued offer for an item I was watching. It gave me an option to counter, so I sent two offers $2-5 less and was automatically rejected. I checked today and the seller cancelled their offer and is apparently open to buyer offers again. I sent a third offer right after I received the email and was auto-rejected again. Did I get blocked? Probably not block. I believe you'll see a notice pop up saying something to the effect that you're not allowed to bid or buy from that seller if you're actually blocked. Most likely the seller set their level for automatic offer rejection above what you're offering is all.

PSOne 1. Spyro The Dragon Series 2. Crash Bandicoot Series 3. Tomb Raider Series 4. Medieval 5. Kagero: Deception II
PS2 1. Need For Speed Most Wanted (pretty close to my all time favorite game) 2. Tomb Raider Legend (and anniversary) 3. Ratchet And Clank Series 4. Trap 5. Jaws Unleashed
Woohoo Many excellent games for both systems that it's hard to choose just five. PSOne hasn't held up quite as well over time, but the top quality titles are still great games. PS2 is still a stellar system with a phenomenal lineup of games. If even say it HAS to in any legit conversation about greatest video game console of all time.

Sort of in the same vain as mein main mensch ET had AIDS's question, but maybe a bit different... ...I recently maxed out my 500GB PS4's hard drive - shocking, amirite? Anyway. I'm aware that within the past couple years, Sony expanded support to allow for external HDDs with the PS4, but I'm a big dumb dumb when it comes to electronics, so here's my question: If I hook up an HDD to my PS4 and move, say, WWE 2K16 and all its expansions over, should the urge hit me tomorrow to relive the greatest moments of ol' Stone Cold's career, will I be able to play 2K16 without having to go through the trouble of moving the game + expansions back over to the PS4, assuming I leave the HDD hooked up? If you set up the external hdd to be the main drive for you system (this is done while formatting it when you first plug it in), then you can play directly off that without having to constantly swap back and forth. I have a 4tb external drive on mine that I install everything to and it works perfect. I THINK dlc is still stored on the internal drive even if you have the external as your main drive, but it doesn't cause any slowdown or crashes.

Have they always done this? I’ve bought a few figures the last couple Days and have been charged sales tax on each one. Is this something new? Yep, started this month I believe. Not sure the exact reason for it, but it's the new norm going forward.

Yeah, I'm pleased with it too... the Network works very well/smoothly. I don't think the menu/layout is as user-friendly as it was on Apple TV and Sony TVs, but for £24 it's not a big deal(!). Where did you buy it? May get one. This or Firestick? Which is better? I actually have both a Roku streaming stick and Amazon Firestick (different rooms). Have used WWE network extensively on both and never had a problem with either. I will say that I much prefer the interface of the network on the Roku to how it appears on the Firestick. Just easier to find what you're looking for on the Roku app IMO. But, as far as actual network playback, you can't go wrong with either on.

Are you talking about Home Bargains? I just bought a fresh box from them a while back and got one of everyone. I think £12 for 12 (well 11 because that Nash is ing awful) mini figures is a great price. Had a quick search there AND BAH GAWD Nash is TERRIBLE! Easy fix for Nash. Just get a high quality permanent marker and color in his legs. I used a sharpie on my Nash as soon as I got him way back with they first came out. Worked like a charm. Hasn't discolored the rest of him or made it gross and sticky like some people try to tell you it will. He looks a million times better with the legs colored.

No. No way of knowing. Fortunately. There wasn't any high ratio rare ones in either series, so it should be fairly easy to grab any off eBay.
Only harder ones to find were the exclusives. Duggan, Macho Man, and Piper were Wal-Mart exclusives in series one. Razor, Slaughter, and Jake The Snake were Target exclusives with series two. Even those aren't terribly hard to do find in eBay.
All others, Austin included, were 1/12 So easy to obtain when they were around. Biggest hurdle you'd have now is the fact that Austin is still super popular and not a large amount of folks looking to part with him. Even still, you're only talking $15 or so on eBay if you can't any in stores (Which would probably be in clearance if any left given that series two was almost two years ago already).

I truly feel like Vince McMahon simply can't stand the idea that someone else might run WWE better than him so he's actively trying to kill it before he dies. No other explanation makes sense for his outright refusal to actually change things that clearly aren't working creatively.
Then again, he did get record amounts of money for the rights to both RAW and SmackDown in the new TV deals with this same old crap and ridiculously dull booking most of the time, so... What the hell do I know. Maybe creativity and actually making a compelling TV show just doesn't matter anymore as long as you get the hashtags and social media trendings. Doesn't really matter if people praise or hate it, as long as they tweet and post and all that crap.

Apparently Vince McMahon is going to announce the "Biggest Acquisition In SmackDown History" tonight. I'm sure everyone is assuming it's Roman Reigns and maybe it's just my personal wish that it isn't, but I can't see Roman on SmackDown. To me, there's some guys that just scream one show or the other and Reigns is RAW 100%. Personally, I think this goes one of two ways. Either the whole "Biggest Acquisition In SmackDown History" is Vince putting his push behind a heel, and tying back to his previous chosen one when he announces Drew McIntyre heading to SmackDown and immediately going after the WWE Championship OR Seth Rollins is heading to the blue brand with the Universal Championship, leaving a lot of questions about what they'll do with the titles. So far, no champion has jumped (not counting War Raiders) from one show to the other, so I feel like there has to be one. Plus, if they really mean "Biggest Acquisition In SmackDown History", it's got to be bigger than anyone who's ever jumped before. Kayfabe wise, you don't get any bigger than the company's main champion, so my money's on Rollins moving to SmackDown. The use of the word "history" makes me think Charlotte Flair. Everything the women do is "historic" now so of course her coming to SmackDown would be hyped up as such. Then again, it could be a swerve and he is actually talking about the return of Hornswaggle. *sigh* Who'm I kidding. It's going to be Roman Reigns. Pretty sure Charlotte is officially a member of SmackDown already, despite appearing on both shows heading up to WrestleMania. I think Becky Lynch is still officially SmackDown as well, though I'd imagine she ends up on RAW after losing the SmackDown Women's Championship eventually. They do love to throw around "Biggest Ever" and "Historic" taglines like crazy, but I'm really thinking it's Rollins switching brands with the title. Even as in love with Reigns as they are, I can't see them actually saying his switching is bigger than any of the main event guys who have switched before. The Universal Champion, on the other hand... IDK, actually has me a little excited for SmackDown tonight.

Super frustrated with how this happens every year. Seventeen people arrived on Raw last night. SEVENTEEN. Am I supposed to believe creative has pushes and storylines for seventeen new characters at once? The draft should be limited to five or six per brand, and it should only be one existing main eventer and then for or five others who are getting a reboot/push, not half the roster switching sides; that's the same as no change whatsoever. Pretty much my thoughts exactly. I'd be way more excited about a shakeup if there weren't so many switching shows each time. Limit it to ten each show at most (I'd say seven or eight honestly) and you actually have new feuds and storylines to create. When you switch so many all at once, you're inevitably going to end up with the same matches, just a different show. --- Apparently Vince McMahon is going to announce the "Biggest Acquisition In SmackDown History" tonight.

Quick update: Ebay totally sided with the buyer. And of course they kept the seller fees. ebay. Call eBay and raise a ruckus about it. As long as you're polite about it and ask to speak with a manager if the first person is no help, it could turn out in your favor eventually. It sucks, but the reality of the matter is that eBay sides with buyers pretty well automatically because it's simply cheaper for them to do that and deal with the relatively few sellers who are wronged in the process, but take the time to call and explain why they were wronged by a unscrupulous buyer. No guarantee that it will work out for you by doing that, but you literally only have a bit if time to lose at this point and potentially a good bit to gain.
