I think you're giving WWE Creative way too much credit

I think it's a cool angle. Interesting at the least.

Damn dirty hippies.

Problem is, it's the Heels that would be the Occupiers.

Yep, this is as dumb, if not dumber, than I thought it would be.

Nah what this is is actually an attack on the movement if anything, look at this current storyline it's being done with heels leading the charge. Fans are being told to hate this sort of thing.

Someone come watch this with me

... take your stinking paws off'a me???

what are you on about, how is that a problem? if this was supposed to be a factual remake or a dramatization of a current story then maybe. But it's a professional wrestling storyline. One that hasn't even started in terms of what's been talked about. This forum at times, my god.

really, you don't think you're over-thinking it a bit?

The name alone reminds me of this:

http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lg...x70zo1_500.png

"NYAH HA! WE SNACK ON DANGER AND DINE ON DEATH!"

Also, winners don't use drugs.

Man I used to love that fucking game. Used to play it at the arcade inside the mall when I was like in 4th grade

I mean, it's not like WWE is strawmanning legitimate issues like "Workplace Safety" here. :roll:

I mean, it's not like it's the Heels, aka the folks we're conditioned to hate, who are talking about issues like "Independent Contractor Classification" or "Forming a Union." :roll:

I mean, it's not like Professional Wrestling as a whole is receptive to the word Union, unless it's a joke stable. :roll:

I mean, it's not like One of the Owners of WWE (let's face it, Linda STILL owns a significant amount of Stock) is running for a Senate Seat, as a Republican. :roll:

I mean, it's not like Vince has NEVER used a storyline to reflect his real life opinions of people/events. "Those people in Greenwich are such elitist snobs. I know, I'll create a wrestler with the gimmick of a Greenwich elitist snob, and he'll be a heel!" :roll:

And I mean, it's not like WWE didn't put out a segment in this week where the fans were meant to boo the folks offering legitimate complaints that were answered only by ad hominem attacks by the COO. :shifty:

This sums up my opinion of this in a serious matter more than anything else...

Taking inspiration from something is fine, so long as they don't just try and transplant a real life story into their programming to be 'relevant'.

"In the WWE, Superstars are divided into two groups -- the good guys, who appreciate anarchy and violence, unless it happens to them; and the bad guys, who are all for progressive human rights. These are their stories..."

Muhammed Hassan looks different these days:

heel truth...
 

<font color=goldenrod>Kofi Kingston, John Morrison, Zack Ryder, and other are among the faces who have joined the OccupyRaw movement on Twitter.

I think the fact that a large chunk of faces are on board with the heels in the movement is what makes it extremely interesting. Trying to figure out how they'll go about replacing the entire roster sans 5-6 guys. Would be funny if they brought back former WWE wrestlers as scabs.</font>

A question I was asked last night in the ESPN newsroom ..."How hot is Vickie Guerrero?" I answered, "Very." <s>@</s>ExcuseMeWWE

2 hours of Diva matches

I smell a Brooklyn Brawler appearance on Monday night.

Even the refs and commentators besides Cole sided with the heels in the walkout on RAW even though Triple H tried to protect them first and threatened huge fines if they got hurt.

If it was just heels, then it would be easy to just ignore their demands like Triple H initially did with Barrett and Beth Phoenix until personal friends and faces also started to complain.

RAW 2 weeks before wrestlemania is in my area. looks like i'm calling in sick to work that day so i can go

The thing about this whole "walkout" angle is that you have heels walking out, when they're the ones who are supposed to fight the establishment, take control, break the rules, etc...not "walkout" because they are frustrated, etc.

CM Punk comes out dresses as a cop, whomping those dirty hippies. <3

With all the things going on in the WWE, specially on RAW, and Survivor Series right around the corner, this may lead to someone showing up to restore some order...

...and that "someone" may very well be:

Maybe that's why Tommy Dreamer was at WWE headquarters recently.

We know Booker is gonna be there, too. He didn't really walk out.

I take it Punk won his Nick Kid's Choice Award (Australian version).

lol really does look like Sheamus.

Nah, he lost to some radio personality

I just got back from a TNA House Show..... It was well worth the $55 I paid to get in.....

was it? I mean I'm guessing it would be since they probably just wrestle and not do fucking stupid ass story lines

<font color=goldenrod>JR has also said on Twitter that he is having second thoughts and is planning on being there. So JR and Booker on commentary, probably with Josh Matthews as well. Cole has said he will be in the parking lot protest...and King coming right back would be pretty lame as he was a major catalyst to start the walkout.</font>

GENESIS

Feel like this has been answered, but is that the only time he's tapped?

No, he also tapped to Benoit and I think one other.

The thread is still on the first page in the Q&A forum.

NEVER GIVE UP

He's also tapped to Jericho after a match ended.

Xtreme Wrestling Torrents. Why I have I never heard of this site before? And who can hook me up with an invite?

Loved this, for the record.

Eh at least its giving most of the roster a decent story to be involved with.

PM me your e-mall address

Justin Roberts has been in WWE since 2002?

I'm watching some 2004 Raw's and he's the announcer. Don't remember that at all for some reason

Haven't seen any of this 2004 stuff since it aired. There's a lot of stuff I forgot about

The main event of the Raw I'm watching right now is Benoit vs. HBK vs. Edge

whats the date of it?

Found the match on youtube.

Should be Oct 18 2004

Yeah, just before Taboo Tuesday, wow, had forgotten about that PPV.

Out in a German bar drinking overpriced beer and someone ended up talking to me about CM Punk because of my t-shirt. Girl I'm with very unhappy.

Anyone have the vid or a screencap where he got slimed?

<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5qfv9SwQ5j8?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5qfv9SwQ5j8?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="360"></object>

Not the sliming but the clip that gif was from.

I thought Punk was growing his hair out, hence the "slick-backed look"...

...but now I think he's not growing it out...he just likes that look.

Making that leap probably took very little thought at all, so it's hard to accuse someone of over-thinking for reaching that conclusion.

Past performance makes it even easier to get there from here.

Punk is tweeting while running the Chicago marathon

I feel the same about Michael Cole.

Felt the same about Tony Chimel, then I heard him on a RAW in 99 and I was like "lol what".

Cole's been there forever.

I remember Cole during his days on WWF Velocity and as the backstage interviewer.

Molly is just such a naturally beautiful woman. Geez.

Either the ref is in mid-sneeze/fart or his brain can't handle the amount of Sin Cara in the ring.

That looks like the same concept of putting buttered toast and a cat together.

@HeymanHustle @wardenseven .. I don't even know what Bukkake means! We did have some fun back in the day and BEFORE Mrs JR arrived on scene.

lol there's a whole back and forth between JR, Dreamer and Heyman about Bukakkes.

Post it all here. Certainly not gonna go look for it myself.

It's been said before, but...

Those comics really aren't funny.

I miss Xero's caption threads.

And I think it's supposed to be "morale".

I have said it before but...

I like the Botchedspot comics. Though, out of that last bunch, only the first one was "good". I would not have bothered reposting the latter two.

Gonna play some 2004 shows right now in the Vault. Join me

They're not supposed to be funny. They're more just commentary comics talking about true things.
