Nice catch, Batista

Cesaro had to use both his arms to catch a Matador. Batista only needs his foot.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

That Uso looked like he was about a foot in front of him. Not much to do there unless Batista felt like making a diving catch on a 220 pound man.

I'm pretty sure from Cesaro's desperate little hand flails that's actually what ended up happening

They reused this crowd shot on Smackdown on the second "OH!" from the crowd. Any chance someone could put together a side-by-side comparison of the cuts from the ramp to the crowd? I want some damning evidence of visual crowd sweetening. :v:

If you look at the start of the gif, you'll see that Batista was way out of position. Orton is at least a foot or two in front of him ready to catch his Uso, but Batista is too far back and makes no effort to step forward for his.

I like Batista but that was pretty poor on his behalf, he knew that the dive was coming and should have been in a more reachable position to avoid this situation from occurring.

Well, it is The Big Show, so it's probably felt like two bowling balls dropping on his face.

So I noticed the Hall of Fame is back up on WWE Network, so I watched it. I'd heard that Warrior had said something about wishing it was still the WWF, but I just watched his whole speech and while there was one little over-emphasis bit when he said WWE, if there was any more, I think it was edited out.

Yeah, he said something to the effect of "I can't believe McDivitt lost to the Wildlife people. Can we get the F back in?"

Speaking of the Network - I've been watching old-school NWA, and I can't get over the amazingness that is Charlie Brown From Outta Town. I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in going into Starrcade 83 and giffing up the graphic of Charlie Brown From Outta Town bobbing his head during his introduction. I am considering it as a potential new avatar.

That's awesome, thank you!

Is there any chance it looks better with the cheesy 80s graphics surrounding it, too? I imagine it might make Charlie Brown From Outta Town too small, though...

I'm pretty sure the thumbtacks aren't gimmicked.

EDIT: Just checked Foley/Orton and the pins are about as long as the flat bit so they're definitely not trimmed.

Yeah, I believe the idea is that so long as they're spread over an even area like someone's back, they aren't going to do permanent damage. Will still hurt like a bitch, though.

Ah, man, assumed they had to be gimmicked what with how far into Edge's back they look but yeah I guess they'd lie wrong on the canvas if they didn't have the pointy ends.
