Why are you racist, Yeezy? Can't you accept that Seth has the perfect skin tone? Of a swarthy and kind of jaundiced dude.

Good morning, HULKAMANIACS. Christ I am hungover. Half day from work though so woooo. Gonna watch Raw when I get home and regret the number of porticini based cocktails I had.

Lol. "Hangover". But that's none of my business

I just noticed Suzuki has never had the IWGP title. This is a heinous fault that needs to be corrected. And he needs the GHC title too, so he can join the Sasaki, Takayama triple threat.

i was thinking last night with all the cm punk chants they could easily tie into their network plugs.

like when they started saying his name at start of show trips should of said something, like yea that guy walked out on you fans, but you can see him on network for only 9.99 or something
 
So who else in the WWE has the perfect skin tone, friends?

A very important and well asked question. We can only speculate when it comes to the Divas, since their skin tones are often more makeup than skin (not criticizing... modern beauty standards are forced on these hard working ladies) as evidenced by the various flesh coloured stains that end up on their ring gear and the mats when they grapple.

As far as the men go, obviously we have to rule out anyone with tattoos. There is no problem with a tattoo, and a tattoo is an important statement to the people that have them, but we can most likely all agree that a tattoo is also making the statement 'I don't care about even skin tone'.

Seth kun and cabbage patch Dean seem self conscious about their skin tone, since they cover up so much of it. So too for the Wyatts, Mark Henry, Jackass Swagger, and many others.

The face painters... they're out too. The Usos and Gold and Stardust hide behind various shades. Leaving the number of people in the tag division with perfect skin tone, well, almost as barren as the tag division in the WWE today.

Kofi and friends don't make it (tattoo, tattoo, singlet). R Truth is out.

So who is not in a singlet, not wearing lots of clothes and not tattooed.

John Cena
Daniel Bryan
Dolph Ziggler
Sheamus
Antonio Cesaro
Damien Sandow
The Miz

Sheamus regularly has visible ugly bruises on his possibly artificially whitened skin. He's out. John Cena needs to work more on his tan. So he's out. Daniel Bryan regularly has nasty looking elbows, so we can't include him.

And that only leaves those people feuding for the intercontinental championship.

Truly the division of perfect skin tone, so truly, we must go with the champ himself. Dolph Ziggler. Those tiny shorts. That perfect tan. Those 'look at me' slogans. Dolph works hard on keeping his skin beautiful, and he knows it, showing as much of it as possible, and not artificially covering it up.
 
The funniest thing about last night is that Brie Bella got the loudest pop when she did the Yes chant.

I can only imagine the reaction when Daniel Bryan comes back, surprise or not.
 

Aiii

So not worth it
How is Pepsi still slacking with putting up a new OT after losing out due to slacking for like three or four months in a row.

Dude, step up your game!

LEGITSHOOK.COM PRESENTS


WCW Monday Nitro 7/29/96




  • Mike Enos vs Jim DOOGUN
  • Ric Flair/Chris Benoit/Steve McMichael vs Sting/Lex Luger/Randy Savage
  • High Voltage vs Steiner Brothers
  • Big Bubber vs Eddie Guerrero
  • The Giant vs Greg Valentine WCW Championship


This is the show when the nWo really became the nWo. This is the episode where Hall and Nash attacked back stage and sent the whole show into chaos. Arn, the American Males, and Rey Jr. were all attacked. The 6 man tag stopped when Jimmy Hart ran out screaming for help. The attack itself only lasted for about 45 seconds, but the aftermath went on for 20 minutes. The faces, the heels, all standing in the back as ambulance/fire/police all arrive. Woman cradling Arn and screaming for help. Benoit crying over both of them. Rey saying there were 4 men. EMTs taking his mask off. Flair being legit shook. The announcers being legit shook. Hour two starting with Brain SHOOTING, saying he has a bad neck and nerve damage and this shit isn't worth risking his health over and walking off. It's to this day probably still the best angle of this type ever on a wrestling show. It's actually stunning that WCW was ever able to pull something that excellent off.

And then, the first paid nWo promo aired. The logo debuted. The music debuted. The completely different promo style debuted.

For obvious reasons, the whole card after the 6 man had to be changed. Originally scheduled were Rey vs Eddie, American Males vs Steiners, and Giant vs Arn. Rick Steiner in particular was extremely distressed and distracted over the whole thing. Arn and Buff were loaded into the same ambulance, with Flair and Sting joining them. It was an extremely well done angle by everyone involved.

Didn't the 911 operator switchboard get flooded because everyone thought this was real?

This is the number one thing I write up a post about and never post because by the time I finish I convince myself that they think he's too old and they want younger guys with the belt.

That and Suzuki-gun has been made to look like a bunch of scrubs ever since Bullet Club showed up.

That's the story, at least. Between this and the Pillman has a gun angle, I think 1996 was the last year when shit got REAL. Those were the last 2 angles people really bought into as "I know this is fake, that but was real".

Is it just me or does it seem like a magical barrier always appears around the ring that prevents faces from chasing heels. That or faces continuously have this issue of thinking they're in a constant king of the hill game where the ring is the hill.

Juan Sina is way too big to move quickly, so he knows its futile to chase Seth down the ring.

Also, some kid would just jump in front of him and he'd trip and they would cry and it would be this whole weird deal.

Not to mention, this:

That was also the year DX more or less gave the middle finger to USA network with the DX state of the union thing wasnt it?

I'm still kind of curious how/why WWE didn't get sued because of that.

This is how Cena will turn. They will bring back Zach Gowen in disguise as a cancer stricken war vet who won a contest to meat cena after donating the most blood and giving one of his kidneys to a nun.

Cena will then "FU" him after he admits to not owning one of his tshirts.

I don't know if Pepsi City can be trusted. Cutting it so close to the line...

This Shadow of Mordor seems to be about mindlessly killing people without an interesting story, and a combat system that's not as deep as it pretends to be. And ugly visuals.

...So I'm wondering why it's reviewing any better than musou games.

I hope you guys get excited for WWE 2K15. I really do.

You deserve the disappointment.

I always enjoy the games. They're not that bad really. They're not that great either, but it's not like they're not enjoyable for what they are.

I was about to say, I'll definitely love it. Been sinking shitloads of time into Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate....for the second time.

I'm probably going to buy it, but I just had to drop money on 4 new tires and I need to get my brakes checked/updated really soon too.

Shadows of Mordon Premium for $28 was the right price. Even if it's just OK, it'll be worth that, at least.
