~Who knows where its at~


Call of Duty really is the perfect John Cena metaphor.

It was something that started out with all the potential in the world but never really went anywhere because it was in an ocean of identical products with no personality of it's own. Then one day it discovered something magical, something that broke the mold and rocketed it to a level that nobody even believed was possible. Everybody loved it, they paid unprecidented money to get it, and demanded more. Everyone was sure nobody could ever get tired of it.

But they did. Despite the fact that they kept getting the thing that they loved, it eventually became clear to fans that they didn't want that thing every single day forever. So they started to complain about it, talk about how despite the fact that it remained an excellent product, perhaps even the best product, it was stale. Innovation was what had made the product, but once the product was king innovation had died in favor of a financial sure-thing. The rehashing began, the same product kept coming to market over and over again with a coat of paint to disguise it's sameness, and worst of all everyone else in the industry put all their efforts into attempting to duplicate that product.

It was so good for so long that it literally ruined everything, and those who recognized that fact raised their voices louder and louder until what was once universally beloved became the most polarizing subject. It became a symbol around which every pundit and every opinion was able to rally, citing it as an example of everything right AND everything wrong with their industry.

But at the end of the day, the simple fact is that no matter how loud the complaints about the product get, people keep buying it.

Imagine how much better the Adam Rose character would be if it was played by someone who didn't give a gently caress.

unfortunately hideous and irreverislbe

My favorite thing about Adam Rose so far was WWE sending a guy out to the bus to interview him and watching him act terrified in the middle of the party peopl eand try to hold Rose's five-second attention span long enough to get him to answer some questions.

"So what exactly is your problem with Zeb Coulter?"

"I don't have a problem with Zebby, I love Zebby he just - LOOK BUNNIES!"

You would think teaching people where the block button is would be part of Social Media 101.

(they have this, Chris Jericho talked about Vince making everyone go through it a few years ago and they made him go even though he had 1.5 million followers or something)

I'm pretty sure they changed how blocking works so it would no longer help in this situation.

Yeah, blocking now only stops you from seeing when someone mentions you or directly replies to you. They can still see your profile, message you (you don't get the notification, but the message is there), if other people mention both of you in a tweet then you do get the notification, etc, etc.

It's got to be really lovely to be anyone with more than a few hundred followers.

This may or may not be correct.

TNA Catering earlier that morning:

"Say, what's an appropriate food or drink we could use to celebrate Hogan's signing?"
" I don't know... champagne?"
"For 2009 Hulk Hogan? You sure that's not overdoing it a little?"
"Well, you got a better idea? We can't just walk in there with a box of donuts."
"...champagne AND donuts? Just call it right down the middle?"
"gently caress it, close enough."
