I really don't think JJ is on the blacklist. He was recently put into the alumni page and they put it on the front page, and his write up is very positive besides mentioning Vince firing him. But they also mention that he was still an influential player as a promoter and persona even after that. If he didn't/isn't starting up GWF, I'm sure they'd have him as a talking head on a DVD or two.

No shit?

So it's just Chyna, forever alone.
 
If you can make Vince money he will bring you back.

There is no blacklist.

Chyna will never be back because of porn and the fact she never drew a dime nor will she ever.

I always thought Vince would kind of respect Double J. He's pretty much the only one to ever truly get one over on Vince. Nash said that whenever Vince talked about something pissing him off, it wasn't the person. He would always mumble, 'That's my fucking money'

I'm surprised they did the Superstar DVD considering the whole Steroid Trial and Sexual Harassment incidents.
 

Aiii

So not worth it

It really is as simple as time healing wounds. You are angry for a not, years pass and it just doesn't seem that important anymore.

Just look at the Warrior doc or the Bret vs. Shawn greatest rivalries interview. It just stops mattering in the grand scheme of things and you want to move on from it and let bygones be bygones.

Which is why there is no doubt in my mind we will see Punk on WWE TV at some point in the future, even if it is for his HoF induction a decade from now.

There's money in a documentary about her and she is a significant player in a rather important era of the product.

Why don't you tell this to Axl and Slash?

Remember when TNA bought chyna in

The Glorious Queen of Wrestling and Mexico, Karen Jarrett, was forced to take a pedigree from her.

I felt so bad for The Glorious Queen of Wrestling and Mexico, Karen Jarrett.

Woooow. Well, I mean I understand why they did it but poor Swagger.
If only Rusev didn't injure him in some form or another like Jack did to Ziggler and Barrett. Give Zeb somebody who has more charisma than a pea.

The "new" Nation seems... really meh. Xavier Woods as the Farooq for starters.
 
By the way I'll be making the August OT friends. Please submit anything you want to see included in the OT to someone who gives a shit.
 
It barely matters what you eat as long as the total calories are sane and you're lifting as heavy as you can. The problems with processed foods are two-fold: primarily it's that they're dense with calorie content so you get a lot of calories for not a lot of food. The other problem, and it's not really one if you get it elsewhere, is that they're pretty much all low on protein.

The hardest part of getting your diet right is making sure you're getting enough protein. A lot of food faves have a lot of carbohydrate content in comparison to protein. Getting the same amount of calories from carb and protein, or 40% protein and 30% carb can be tough. Fat's easy, because it's 9 calories a gram instead of 4.

tl; dr - I get steady weight loss of 1 lb. a week, even having pizza once a week for the last six months. Half a pizza, 1,000 calories. I eat it on a gym day, though. I'm trying to get down to 10-12% body fat and probably have about 2-3 months to go, so I may hit a wall, but in my experience, a little bread ain't the devil.

I don't know the name of what it really will be called but having Xavier Woods would be more of a " pseudo intellectual" way of doing it this time around. People said here that he is going for his PHD right? they will probably factor that in and have people call him Professor Dr. X. Creative will most likely turn that into a play on words of Malcolm X, I can't see Vince pass that up, shit probably turns him on that they can turn that on it's head like that.

I still don't have much faith in it but well see

Eh, give them a chance. Xavier has been quite a good talker, even in the baby face with no direction role, so he might be good here.

You could be describing this guy

"Try-sexual"? Thank you, Mario Van Peebles.

To quote HHH: "I'm bi a lot of things, but lingual isn't one of them... Wait, did I just say that?"

What? They aren't the new Nation. Do all black wrestling stables look the same to you guys?

I was looking for the segment again, didn't find it, but found a custom titantron for them with a generic guitar riff. I laughed because you know they'll be coming out to a hip hop beat... They all look alike to WWE.
I thought someone linked to a tweet that Xavier made about a new NoD. Was that fake?
It's real, but it was months ago about dealing with Rusev. I'd be amazed if WWE already had this planned out back then.
I'm excited for heel kofi

Wildcat unleashed

Damn right. About time they changed him up. As stale as Cena.

Or whatever they're called. Who cares? They could do a nostalgia act for it, not like WWE hasn't done those a million times before. The original Nation had Crush and Savio Vega in it, later version had Owen. It's not relegated for black wrestlers, at least initially it wasn't. It had a militant focus to it and with propery guidance and believability (a semi main event guy like Farooq) it had decent potential. Who cares what Xavier Woods has to say since he's been a big doofus jobbing every time he's on the screen since he's debuted?

Hey if it gets Henry the belt once before he retires it'll be a success even if they end up being a minstrel act gone sour.

Guys, black nationalist isn't on the clock:

It could point to gimmick change as well. And probably even more not Jamaican. I wouldn't bet against the US title either once they target the whitest man on the roster.

EDIT: Read Persps post and now just imagining laid back Kofi still, just hanging out with his friends who have turned heel. Goddammit.
 
I'm picturing Woods, E, and Henry being all sullen and serious as they walk down the ramp while Kofi's jumping around, smiling and high-fiving fans
 
WWE lost another fan today. Good bye Sandman.

I will be joining you soon enough. Ive been disgusted for years, I don't know why I do this to myself.
