Tasty beef

I cut red meat out of my diet last year (well...almost. I'll still have steak on some rare occasion)

It's so tempting sometimes

That's weird

I weigh 200lbs, so I should have 100oz of water a day, which is...2.957L?!

That can't be right, can It?

3L is a pretty crazy amount of water to drink in one day

I bring 1.5L with me to work every day, then probably have another 500ml+ after that with dinner etc

Probably have drunk over 3L quite a few times - if I drink the bottle and still have a couple of hours left I'll fill it a bit more for instance. Really doesn't seem like that much
---

Not to be confused with XIII_Stones.

Well I mean yeah

Obviously "too much" of anything is going to be unhealthy

Now "too much" for water is obviously a much higher threshold than "too much", like, cyanide. But "too much" is "too much"

Oh and I forgot!

"Hey Football, wouldn't it be a good idea if the outgoing King of the Board was the special guest enforcer in the title match?"

The outgoing KotB was Korayashi, the only person who knew about the scheme

Vote counted double
Maniac never stood a chance

Honestly the whole point of that was to be such a total irredeemable bastard that I got 0 votes in the title match (that's why I added Maniac to the title match, so the main event wouldn't be a squash!).

Then I got enough votes to tie Solio and the fun REALLY began

No, I didn't ask anyone to vote for me

I said "I need to be champ for this to work", which implied some stuff, but no. People were voting because they wanted to do the stable thing, not because I specifically rallied for that match.

Nobody who was fooled said "this is rallying" at the time either - people were motivated to vote by the story of the potential stable, not by me asking for a vote.
---

Not to be confused with XIII_Stones.

Underrated part of that scheme: the way I won the title match against Maniac

PM'd like 7 or 8 voters and was like "I want to start a stable with JUST YOU, but I need to be champ for what I'm planning to work. Then later we'll split and have a title feud. Also don't tell anyone".

Surprise, I won

I don't consider myself a particularly Machiavellian person but god damn

Well Mania absolutely destroys Sonic 1 for instance

It's not even close!

But hey I'm obviously not saying "don't play the first 3", they're all good to great games. But I feel like you could play Mania and almost get the definitive Sonic experience in one game.

Best solution is obviously play 1-3+K, CD, and then Mania. I was more suggesting a time-saving thing
---

Not to be confused with XIII_Stones.

I honestly feel like Mania is the best, distilled version of all of them

You miss out on one or two classic zones but most of the best ones are there already

Show did a very good job in making the mother a perfect match for Ted and why Ted and Robin while good weren't the best match.

The overall message was that it is okay to move on, but I felt it was executed poorly.

See I thought Robin was a good match for Ted once they were in their 50s

Robin was great for Ted, but didn't want to settle down or whatever while he did. Once they were older, she was ready

As a result of what has happened on Ruin and at the Rumble so far I would like to make these matches OFFICIAL for Epopmania

Tom vs. Wigs (Undisputed HW Title)
Apollo/Strife vs. Empire of Silence (Shad/Stifled) for the tag titles
Emerald vs. David

I mean of course it does, it's a recreation of a game that reviewed well in 2005

I'm a little disappointed that it seems there is almost no extra content - I really wanted a 17th colossus, so sue me.

OK well some people think Alexa Bliss can't wrestle, so if we have Rousey as champ on one brand and Bliss as champ on the other, is the entirety of main-roster women's wrestling "dead"?

Like don't get me wrong, those two losses damage her star power, but if she was still the stratospheric star she was before the losses then she wouldn't have signed for WWE full-time.

she was 'killing bitches dead' in a time where there was no real competition

once the division matured, it eclipsed her in a flash

But now you're getting into a level of complexity that the vast majority of people don't care about

Also I actually like Kelly Kelly a lot more than I used to because she came back and looked pretty bad. It was like, night will follow day and Kelly Kelly will be really bad. It was comforting, in a way

FFDragon posted...

There's no way they can both play up her name value and have her be some unbeatable monster like current Asuka.

Because anyone who knows her name value knows she got absolutely brutalized in her last two fights and is super beatable.

She also spent a lot of time before that killing bitches dead, just play that up and it's fine

Like call her overrated if you want but her career record and impact is still good.

I'd want to keep her and Asuka well apart and build towards Streak vs. Streak for Summerslam or WM next year. I'd be very into that match. It's rare to have something like that. Have Asuka challenge Charlotte and put Rousey on Raw even.

Sheamus was celebrated as the winner and it's revisionist history to claim otherwise.


I know the person claiming this is garbage but let's just correct things: Sheamus was a loved heel (remember the whole Dante thing?) and then when he turned he was a loved face because he's still a pretty great big man wrestler all told. And the standard of wrestler in WWE was significantly lower in 2011, too. Sheamus didn't start to get inevitable smark backlash until 18 seconds happened, which he then followed up with an endless feud with Del Rio - they had some decent matches but character wise Sheamus needed a more entertaining heel.

Jericho was obviously loved too but he was still doing the silence gimmick so people were a bit confused about what he was doing. Sheamus was very liked. I actually remember one PPV where a few people here said it was the "anti-smark PPV" and one of the reasons why was because Sheamus lost (seems crazy now, huh?).

2013 had Cena which was predictable and dumb and then it started completely going off the rails until last year, which was a very open field but disappointed with a boring winner. This year had an open field and a more surprising winner (some saw Nakamura coming a while ago but I doubted they'd pull the trigger, especially because he hasn't been that good since signing).
---

Not to be confused with XIII_Stones.

If it were me I'd have them on separate shows and have them never lose (her and Asuka) and build to Asuka/Rousey either at Summerslam or if you can make it last that long, WM next year

But damn that was a really enjoyable Rumble.

I realized after like 20 entrants that I had nothing but good will towards the people involved and just wanted a good match and for them to not fuck up, and that was a nice feeling. For the most part, they delivered. Great work.

Then the Bellas came out and that was when the genius of the booking really took over. - they really played on the smark fears of nepotism in WWE. The idea of one of the Bellas winning this when they are not particularly talented as performers in any way (and way, way behind people like Asuka, Sasha, Charlotte, etc) was genuinely terrifying. And that led to some actual, real tension at the end, from me anyway. Partly because I wanted Asuka to win anyway but also partly because I didn't want WWE to ruin a really good match by being WWE.

So yeah well-booked match, good amount of nostalgia - and almost all the retirees looked great, guess that's the benefit of the women retiring relatively early - and an excellent, tense finish because WWE understood its audience for once.

And Tom getting the deciding hurt too. It's excellent, yes

Honestly the voters tend to do really well with the Rumble. JONA winning was kind of out of nowhere but since then Cobain, eaed, Stevie, Shad, DP and now Wigs have all been strong winners with a good angle for their title match. Cobain got a rematch with RL5 after a tie at the Rumble, eaed had been banned from title matches until he won that, Stevie was a good up-and-comer, Shad was the King and won it from 7 which is miraculous, DP retained his title and now we have NLK EXPLODES. Really strong mains.
