Mark Henry is incredibly good at doing wrestling promos, but he only gets ahold of a microphone about once every six months.

ITT: We discuss the practicalities, positives & negatives of a Triangle Shaped Wrestling ring.

Now this is all theory now because I haven't seen one in any real-life application yet but I think if given enough surface area and bringing the turnbuckles further away from the post and corner you could compensate for the fall backs. I think with the loss of parallel ropes it'd be a disadvantage to the flashy high-flying and ring gymnastics but a solid technical match would benefit with a quicker pace of no rope rebounding and less room.

"More physiologic wrestling" is my favorite reason. It's by far the most cromulent.

I can't tell if he meant to say "More physical wrestling" or "More psychological wrestling".

Either way, they need to bring back I.R.S. but with a psychiatrist gimmick.

It's a link the creators of South Park did at a college about how writers should determine what happens next in their plot based on the words "but" and "therefore" instead of just going "and then" over and over.

http://www.nytimes.com/video/arts/television/100000001039812/a-clip-from-stand-in.html?src=vidm

I don't regularly read reddit and i'm not the biggest fan of south park but it's a pretty decent point to make and especially relevant to how WWE tells its stories lately. It's you, you are the dumbass.

The fact that it used continuity wasn't the problem, it was that it wasn't very funny, especially since other seasons have used continuity when it suited them.

I dunno, I thought that last season was pretty funny but the final two episodes were loving garbage that bought the entire season down.

south park is a bad show but at least there is a beginning middle and end to just about every episode which is more than you can say for any episode of raw or any one of the stories/feuds on a macro level

I feel it's a tactic to try and devalue his word. Mets only wants to keep people in the loop, even if its true or false. He reports what he hears.

The top comment on that thread is also really dumb.

How are "Brock Lesnar is very close to agreeing to a new contract" and "WWE hopes Lesnar signs a new contract on Monday but negotiations are the same as they were weeks ago" in any way "the same statement".

God drat that's a bunch of quotation marks

A little birdy in Stamford told me that Brock Lesnar may sign a new contract with the WWE, but that he also may not. This is 100%. One of those things will happen.

- Every Metsfan post ever

Oh my god, Metsfan, you're such an insider, you're so cool!

- Every positve post made about Metsfan. (smurf account.)

I saw a post on Wreddit trying to be a SUPER SLAM MAJOR OWN ZONE thing on how WWE botched Reigns' push and I think I blew my corneas out from rolling my eyes so much right around when they were whining about Reigns winning a Slammy and how he says he'll be the first NXT guy to win the WWE Title because "he wasn't there that long"

Also, spending time in FCW doesn't count because...it wasn't on the Network and worthy of sending fruit baskets.

Man now that I think about it if Roman were on NXT he'd be screwed because HHH would just keep him down there for the internet ego stroking
