Not having Rogan around to act like every punch that lands and every kick thrown was a fight ending shot actively detracts from the show, in my opinion.

He's one half of bald man shout times too, which is an undeniably amazing thing.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

One of Rogan's worst traits is that OH HE HURT HIM becomes his statement to any landed punch if the punch occurs in a championship match in which all strikes get a 500% damage bonus in his mind.

quote:

According to Mike Bohn, CM Punk's overall rating is an 85/100. Yes, that is despite not having any pro fighting experience whatsoever. For context, assuming EA Sports hasn't changed its ratings system from the last game, an 85 rating puts him on the level of Martin Kampmann or Francis Carmont, and above 84-rated Pat Barry. Mark Hunt and Ross Pearson are both 86. The basic criteria include striking, grappling, and submissions, and then additional attributes within those three groupings.

The real ace move would be to Make Punk the first opponent you face in career mode like right after creating the 55 overall fighter you instantly get put on a Card against CM Punk.

Saying it was a thing because RoK complained about it like saying a tweet with a single favorite means something. 20 people cared, so what?

It was a 4chan troll along with "Star Wars is racist/sexist because Finn is black and stormtroopers are Nazis, and that's the white man sin" or "Jar Jar binks"

Max Landis, is a lot of things, one of them apparently a sexist.

Like I've seen tons of racist and sexist pushback over Ibris possibly being the next Bond or whenever a woman/poc is recast in a previous male role, but the days of people being outraged purely by black people getting movies is a thing of the past.

yeah a fringe misogynist blog nobody reads is definitely indicative of widespread hatred of black and female leads, also a lot of people were claiming that fury road was a feminist movie based solely on backlash against a random blog post on there, which sorta proves my point of people taking fringe beliefs and magnifying it to a greater extent than if they had just ignored it

It was a staple of the IoSM thread for a while to post long Facebook threads of people bitching about Finn being black in a Star Wars film. Mostly people claiming the SJW angle. I'm not saying it was a huge cultural force but there were definitely a decent amount of terrible nerds who were angry about it

She's a Mary Sue because she's a new character who's better at everything (Fixing the Millennium falcon! Using force powers! Winning lightsaber duels! Flying spaceships! Infiltrating enemy bases!) than any of the previously established characters, and doesn't face a road of trials where she loses before getting better at things.

On topic, CM Punk better do the GTS gesture after beating his first can.
