  1. I know she's from the comics but it really looked like thr writers saw that Onion joke about Gaga as a Batman villain and decided to run with it from last week's episode

    One thing you just reminded me is, did they ever explain how she was able to not feel pain and come back from falling off a building and breaking bones? There's a difference between not feeling pain, and recovering from a broken back. You know, unless you're Batman.

  2. Looks like TNA's new thing, is to have monthly PPV style episodes of IMPACT, where, like Destination X, they spend the weeks building up to a special episode of Impact, that will have a gimmick theme/name.

    The next one, will be Hardcore Justice.

  3. The second episode was a lot better. It seems like this show is following the same route as The Batman TV show, where the further it goes, the better it will be.

    Just keep away from pointless villains like Pyg who just show up for no real reason, other than to look strange, and have some background characters to stop Gotham looking so empty.

  4. I had a woman call seeing if we had any books on Stockholm Syndrome because she's worried about someone. When I mentioned we didn't but Wikipediaor a counseling website she could consult, she responded she's 67 and won't touch a computer for moral reasons.

    What you want to bet a grandchild is listening to the rock and roll?

    Those bloody Monkees have corrupted another youth. It's a plague I tells yah.

  5. TNA have fired Jessie Sorenson, who's known for being the wrestler who's next was broken by a botched move by Zema Ion back in early 2012. Since then, TNA gave him an office job, and have now released him from the company.

  6. When I was practicum teaching in Scotland, I had a class with five Steven/Stephens. They were all buggers too. So, basically, if there was some shit going down in class, all you had to do was yell "Steven!" and most of the time things would stop.

    Yeah, that sounds about right.

  7. When I say the Marvel machine works I mean overall. They can handle a sub-par movie because they have plans and diversity. Hulk crashes and burns? No matter, Iron Man hits a home run. Iron Man 2 sub-par? Captain America and Thor do respectable box office and lay the ground for the Avengers. And regardless of any problems I have with Iron Man 3 (and I do) that box office is nothing to sniff at.

    Unless the box office is cocaine and you like to sniff that stuff, at which point, you go right ahead, and sniff all the box office you can handle.

  8. I have a rather common first name. It's my last name that always throws people. They either mangle the pronunciation or I have to spell it for them. Oh, and I have the exact same name as this guy aka my Google Shield.

    Sort of related, the one thing about my name that irks me, is when people spell my first name wrong. Not all the time, just the specific times when my name is written down the right way in front of them, and they still spell it with an i.

  9. Don't you hate it when you get heavily into a game, and then you come close to the end, only for a final boss to feel so pettily hard, that you just give up on the game, look up what happens on YouTube, and feel like what you've played up until that point, is kind of tainted by a stupidly hard boss?

    20 questions to figure out what game you're talking about:

    20) What console?

    19) Release year

    20) I played it on PS3, but it's available on several consoles. Any more info would give it away easily :P

    19) The version I played was released in 2013.

  11. There's a warrant out on Flair, because he owes his wife over $30,000 in alimony.

    To be fair, this time it's due to him being hospitalised and his son dying.

    Still amazing to me to that Flair has to pay out that kind of money, as though he was still 1980's Flair at his peak.

    From what I've read, Flair probably still lives like he's earning as much as he did during his peak.

  12. Just finished Money in the Bank. Overall, I give the show a thumbs in the middle, leaning down. The World Title MITB match was the best match. Interesting dynamics as the crowd treated everyone in the match (sans Swagger really) with babyface reactions. A few innovative spots and no real lulls. Cena/Henry was one of the slowest matches I've seen, but it was entertaining. Henry figured out how to not do much and make it work. Divas match was okay and not 98 seconds which is nice.

    Then the other MITB match happened. I don't think putting all the older guys in one match was a good idea in hindsight. Everyone looked beat to shit in the first three minutes. Punk just doesn't look right since he came back. RVD looked just like TNA RVD and old. And I don't think I like the matches coming out of this. Once Bryan was taken out of the match, the crowd was done. That was a perfect end to the match with Bryan doing his hot tag routine at x3 the speed. Now it seems like he would go into a feud with Axel at SummerSlam, which is just lame.

    Everything else I skipped because I skip pretty much everything involving Del Rio, Ryback & The Miz.

    I agree with you, the world MITB was solid, but the "All Star" one just missed something. You missed nothing in the matches you skipped, Del Rio/Ziggler was nowhere near as good as their Payback match, The Miz is a horrible face, who deserved to get booed, and Ryback/Jericho just sucked all the air out of the room and had a flat, dull finish.

    The thing I found strangest was during the world title MITB, was the fans routinely chanting "We, the people" which I found a bit odd, chanting the heels catchphrase.

    This was easily the worst MITB PPV, which, considering how great 2010-2012 were, is still a pretty good show.

  13. TMZ has posted a story correcting an earlier report that Hollywood actor Liev Schreiber was set to play Chris Benoit in the upcoming biopic on the former WWE Superstar's life and tragic end. According to the report, Schreiber's reps say the X-Men star is not on board with the film, currently listed as in pre-production.

    The film is based on Matthew Randazzo's biography Ring of Hell: The Story of Chris Benoit & The Fall of The Pro Wrestling Industry. It is being directed by foreign film maker Vicente Amorim, and at this time does not have a release date.

    So the discussion about him being suitable, is now a moot point.
