I'm finding it hard to believe that some short stocky fat guy is supposed to be able to dominate collegiate athletes like Swagger and world class weight lifters like Mark Henry. Wut. Couple things. Jack Swagger's physique is about as impressive as Rusev's, regardless of their respective ahthletic backgrounds. Second, I do not understand how one could see Henry as an elite athlete but Rusev as "some fat guy." They have the same background. Powerlifting. Powerlifting places a priority on raw strength and not aesthetics. Being shorter can actually help to lift heavier weights because the range of motion is reduced compared to a taller person. For example, here's powerlifter Hafthor Bjornsson. This man is not as ripped as John Cena... but he can deadlift 1000 pounds. Brodus Clay and Rikishi are fat guys. In a real fight, Rusev could probably dismember somebody. If he was beating Jack Swagger in amateur wrestling contests or Kofi Kingston in a broad jump competition then sure, these complaints would be warranted. But he's being booked as a brute who just overpowers his opponents, and wrestling ability aside, physically he looks the part.

There's an old song called Lunatic Fringe that is a lot more famous than that radio station. Also, it's just a pretty common phrase that's been around for a long time. To just assume that Michael Cole calls him that because of some radio station is like saying Seth Rollins is "The Architect" because of the character from The Matrix.

Kinda sad that CM Punk & Daniel Bryan had to appropriate half of KENTA's moveset before he got there, just doesn't seem right. That's like bringing in Muta without the shining wizard because AJ Lee does it.

How do you remember a post you made in damned 2007? Heavens. I got a notification that somebody liked it. Recently. Why people are browsing seven year old Cody Rhodes threads I can't say, but I got a chuckle out of it.

There was already a member here named Nick, and I don't really see any reason to use first names here anyway. It's not like it's Facebook.

Not regularly. I usually buy raw denim jeans and in order to break them in properly you don't wash them for at least six months. In general, excessive washing will break down the fabric and dramatically decrease the lifespan of your clothes. Unless you work in construction or sweat like Brock Lesnar in a title match there's no reason for them to get that dirty in the first place. Just keep yourself well-groomed and your pants won't smell like ass, I promise.

Why do most people seem to think there are only two spots on the roster: main eventer and perma-jobber? Just because they don't view him as a main eventer doesn't automatically mean he'll be relegated to dark matches and they'll give up on him entirely. Look at guys like Ziggler, The Miz or Barrett. Probably never going to be world champion, but they'll always have a stable place in the upper mid card, and there's nothing wrong with that. Not everybody can be the top guy, and with Ambrose possessing a limited moveset and specializing more in group fights and brawls rather than traditional one-on-one matches I can see why they'd be hesitant.

You don't trust police officers? Try to imagine a world without any... my point exactly.
I think what this thread shows is that most people fall victim to the media, specifically their strategy of repeatedly showing you only the extreme minority of cases in which an officer behaves inappropriately. For example, if a cop prevents a low-level criminal from stealing or selling drugs, the news won't promote it because the officer was just doing his or her job. And quite frankly none of you find that newsworthy. But when a statistical outlier takes things too far and abuses his or her power, naturally it gets an overwhelming amount of attention. Because you are only exposed to these exceptions to the rule you just assume that that's how most police officers behave, when in fact the opposite is true.
It seems like most people feel paranoid instead of protected when they see a police officer, which is very sad to be honest.

Predictable? Sure. Pointless? Not totally. There isn't room for Wyatt in the title picture right now, and Jericho at least gives him a decent foil who can produce some entertaining promos and help Wyatt maintain momentum which prevents him from floundering aimlessly like Cesaro. Wyatt's character is an agent of chaos who opposes everything people cheer for. Every time he returns, Jericho is cheered almost by default, just because he is a legend. Then he loses and leaves. And Bray touched on this in one of his promos. Even if it does nothing in your eyes to boost Wyatt's credibility, it helps the Wyatt character tear down another revered piece of WWE history. At the very least there's some kind of character development taking place, which is more than I can say for a lot of other young talent. Obviously Jericho won't win, but that doesn't automatically mean the feud is worthless or that his presence isn't serving any purpose. Without ever reading spoilers or rumors I can predict who will win just about every match at any given PPV, but it never stopped me from watching. For example, since it was clear as day that Shawn Michaels would lose to the Undertaker at Wrestlemania, did we all say that match (or entire feud) was pointless and/or predictable?

Are you kidding? Our defense was outstanding..our midfield was garbage Yeah 16 saves. ![::)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/rolleyes.gif) No, he's right. All of those chances for Belgium were created because the US couldn't maintain possession of the ball. The midfielders had some awful turnovers which led to all the shots on goal. So the midfield wasn't showing up, but the defenders (and obviously Tim Howard) were huge. The fact that they only allowed 2 goals off of maybe 25 shots it a testament to that. Belgium also only completed around 10% of their crosses into the box during the first half. Again, good defense making up for some dreadful midfield play. I think we really missed Beckerman to be honest.

Back in my teenage years I was quite the troll. A buddy and I used to make triple threat/fatal 4-way matches online in Smackdown vs. Raw 2007 and we'd each use one half of a CAW tag team. Except one of us (usually me) would rename the CAW to some other wrestler, Val Venis, for example, so that the other people had no idea what we were about to do. So you'd have my friend picking CAW Bubba Ray Dudley, the rando kid picking 99 overall "HELL DEMON" (boy were the maxed-out, lazy CAWs an epidemic in that game) and myself picking "Val Venis." The bell rings, and it turns out it's D-Von Dudley instead of Val Venis. The other guy immediately eats a 3-D and quits out of rage while we taunt him and my younger self laughs uncontrollably. It might sound dickish, but in my defense that game had an AWFUL online community. It seemed like nobody wanted to have fun and instead everybody used the same overpowered, tribal tattoo CAW and tried to win in 5 seconds in a ![](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wfcensored.gif) ing unranked match. Elaborate trolling made that game at least 100 times more fun than it should have been.

I would also suggest picking up a copy of the Madden NFL video game if you can. I know when I first wanted to get into international football (soccer) I was kinda overwhelmed with all the different leagues and players, but playing FIFA was a fun way for me to familiarize myself with both the players and the nuances of the sport itself.

![](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wfcensored.gif) yeah I like Miley Cyrus. She's cute and I actually liked that Bangerz album too. A few clunkers on there (ahem, Big Sean feature) but overall a solid pop record. #GETITRIGHT is my jam.

I would rather be the best in the world at one thing than above average/pretty good at a number of things. Just my opinion, though.
