looks cool, things are evening out such that I'll be able to do more news surfing/posting and stuff again pretty soon. Maybe in time for first episode of Decker. I almost completely missed On Cinema this season. I think it was half over before I even realized it was up.

And Donald Trump is President of the United States. what's ur point?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS POLL

The best love stories are animated sibling/buddy comedies like the Angry Beavers.

step outside yourself and see people in their own light. Search for who they are rather than what you need.

I'd been wanting to revive something (either unevenedge or urnn or something) for awhile but just kept putting it off/not having time and stuff. then after the NodeBB switch, I was kinda like "hmm not satisfied w/my online time anymore. maybe now is the time" so started playing around to make a board. Then almost right as I began testing it, like within a month or two, the board shut down with zero advance warning. so it was just like "we're not really ready for this yet but - I guess it is what it is". The ASMB dev board was open for awhile after the main board closed. And so was the backend mod board that Drew made for us. Eventually they closed everything. The dev board went. And then shortly after the mod board was also gone.

WTF MAN

nope.

he'll be allowed back on once the new board is ready, if he chooses to come back.

I heard we got some aliens RIGHT HERE ON EARTH that do that with these panels they make from crystalline silicon FROM SPACE.

also you get "WHAT IF IT WAS AN EMERGENCY?" like 80 times.

DON'T LISTEN TO BUCKET HE IS BAD AT GIRLZ.

what are - you two guys doing in this thread?

I am not a phone guy either. my ringer's off right now in fact.

yes bans can be undone.

the plan is to just let them back for the new board, again if they want to come back. If the new board seems to take longer than expected, then I might just go ahead and let them back before that.

wat

I just thought this up - here's what we need: Rusev somehow enters MITB at the last minute and wins the contract. Then Rusev smashes WWE Champion and becomes WWE Champion. All Bulgerians begin watch Smackdown. Bulgarian market is prime market for WWE expansion. WWE should heed my words on this. Bulgaria = $$$.

2 Lava 2 Lantula iono wat to rate it. i liked it.

NXT kind of boring this week. Mostly just a Takeover recap show. A couple decent matches. Aleister Black vs Curt Hawkins was kind of cool. WWE tried to sneak Tough Enough's Patrick Clark through as "Velvetine Dream" but the audience sniffed it out right away and started booing him. I hope Tough Enough is just done for good. That show is a terrible way to introduce new talent. Because - as a reality TV show, they're tasked with presenting personal conflict and drama, but it makes all the contestants look like whiney little bitches. And then when they finally trot them out on WWE TV, people are like "oh hey I remember that guy, he was a whiney little bitch on Tough Enough". And he might even not be that, and might even be good at what he does. But Tough Enough is like - people hate it, but they watch it anyway, and generally they tend to hate people who come off the show. They've snuck a few through. But you really have to sneak. If they were ever like "HEY KIDS IT'S THAT DUDE FROM TOUGH ENOUGH!" they'd be like "naaaaw booooo". I have to say, he was really good tonight. But he was facing a jobber, and, kinda like the crowd in attendance, it's tough not to remember back to the last Tough Enough and how awful almost all of those people were. Drew McIntyre vs Wesley Blake was also pretty good. Eh. As NXT shows go, this one was pretty sucky. Too much recapping and not enough violent things happening. But a couple good matches.

He is reading this thread. right now.

any genitalia should be spoiler tagged, anything super raunchy should be spoiler tagged. basically - something that might be nsfw or - like anything a casual reader cruising along reading stuff for fun might not want to be slapped in the face with out of the blue.

watching the Smackdown. for as poorly as they set up the Jinder Mahal title thing, I will say they're on it from a post-Jinder-Mahjal-title-win perspective, absorbing any negative spin into their press such that it almost reads as a work rather than what it is. And probably to their credit, they are all in, kicking off Smackdown with a Jinder Mahal motorcade arrival. The one thing I will say is maybe a bit of a miscalculation might be how - like they set Mahal up as a heel, a specifically foreign heel, and elevated him to champ in an attempt to expand foreign market share, BUT - in so doing, they set the crowd up for "U-S-A! U-S-A!" chants, which could actually have a potentially adverse effect on said market expansion. So Money In the Bank. This year they're only doing five participants? That's - kinda - lame. (AJ Styles, Sami Zayn, Dolph Ziggler, Baron Corbin, Shinsuke Nakamura). Of those five, I think Styles would make the best winner story-wise, as having him hanging around waiting to cash in his MITB Contract would keep things tense and unpredictable I think. Otherwise, I think Corbin makes the most sense. Though I'm not sure I see Corbin/Mahal. I'd much rather see a Corbin/Orton championship match. Kevin Owens got added to it, making it six. But doesn't change thing for me, with Owens already US Champion, I'd still rather see Styles or Corbin take it. Also though, I will say, I like all six of these guys quite a lot. oh wow, AJ and Shinsuke tagging in the main event. That's cool. Nakamura has yet to compete in a tag match in WWE. Styles/Nakamura is a dream match no matter if their competing with each other or on the same team. women's match, yet another variation of Lynch/Charlotte/Naomi Vs Natalya/Carmella/Tamina. These matches are always good. But just like with the similar main-eventer formula lately, this is getting a little old creatively. Any two of these people could have an epic storyline/rivalry. yet we're still mired in this 3 on 3 thing. And neither brand has a lot going on up top these days (between absentee champ Lesnar and jobber-turned-marketing-ploy Mahal champ for the other brand). It feels like, where the brand split initially injected a bit of freshness (mostly from the Smackdown side), both brands have grown increasingly stale in the last few months. Zayn Vs Corbin rematch. I'll be shocked and confused if Corbin doesn't win this time. I love Sami Zayn, but - ope. wow. two seconds Zayn gets a pin. That's CRAZY. Why would they do that? Anyhow - Corbin is beating the crap out of Zayn now, going crazy. I guess that works. Kind of a decent enough angle for Corbin, elevating him as a heel. Pairing Corbin with Zayn has been really good I think for Corbin. Breezango I now love. They're doing single matches against each of the Usos tonight. Love their segments. Tyler: "do you want our guns?" Shane: "you have guns??" I hope they continue this Breezango/Usos thing. Though it would be nice if Breezango to hold the titles for awhile. wow - Mahal segment is going all out to suck up to India. Again, say what you want about the legitimacy of the storyline that ended with Mahal taking the belt (it was silly/rushed/etc). But now that they've crossed the finish line, they are going all out to package Mahal as champ in a way that they haven't in a long time. his appearance has all the hallmarks of an event. so, I would say that - even though the execution of getting to this point was super flawed, post-championship, the WWE really has their shit together. Also Mahal has the crowd going. I don't think this is traditional audience rickroll/troll of Vince and creative. They seem to be legitimately reacting to Mahal as a performer and the storyline itself. So - if the lead up to this was a fail, I think they've turned it into a success with this promo. we'll see if they can keep that pace up. so Breeze vs Jey should be good. ope - ooh fuck an uso has the mic. hold up - another quickie pin. Fandango squirts Jey in the face with a squirtgun and Breeze pins him in mid promo. I might be disappointed, but having seen the PPV match, which was pretty long and complex, I'm okay with this. Especially as part of an ongoing story. Fandango keeping Jey "covered" with the squirtgun is a nice touch. Fandango Vs Jimmy. Almost as quick. Breeze has Jey chasing him around the ring, distracting Jimmy enough for Fandango to snag a pinfall. A nice quick followup to a spectacular PPV match. keeps the rivalry alive, keeps the humor alive, hopefully they can stretch it to MITB. I'm enjoying this. These 4 are gold. ope not over yet. Breezango suggest another title match. Usos say let's go right now. Official consults on the headset or something. Aaaand - I guess they're doing it. Tag Title match right now. Not sure how I feel about this. Feels like too soon. But anyhow - . Usos retain. So - not sure - what that was about. Kind of mystifying creatively. It kind of took a great rivalry with great rhythm and life ahead of it and slammed the breaks on for seemingly no reason. Tamina wants James Elsworth. yet another fatal five way elimination match for #1 contender next week, this time on the women's side. These are getting kinda boring. Seems like WWE's new answer to everything is a fatal five-way to determine the #1 contender. At least the Women's championship kind of means something. Both SDL and Raw titles right now are more company tools than creative tools, one being in the hands of an overpaid part timer, the other a jobber turned marketing campaign. So Styles/Nakamura Vs Owens/Ziggler should be awesome. I think Nakamura and Ziggler both are better in this match than they were at the PPV. Owens really good in this. They seem to be bringing out the best in each other in this. I gotta say, Owens and Nakamura are really great together. Great main event sends me out on a high note. Feel sort of like mmmaybe Smackdown is starting to get its shit together? or maybe not. too soon to tell. I'd love to see a Nakamura/Owens feud. And I wish they hadn't fucked up the Usos/Breezango thing tonight, because would have loved more of that.
