Having it at the Air Canada Centre would be awesome.
Note: I have never read one Tolkien book in my life. No Hobbit, no Lord of the Rings etc. I like the movies and power metal bands that sing of the material. I also remember the animated movies.
With all that said, I enjoyed my LieMax 48fps experience of The Battle of the Five Armies.
It was cool.
I also enjoyed my grub prior.
oh
and Happy Smackdown Thursday!

Wait. People don't actually believe that "lost belt as punishment for scheduling improv gig" shit, do they?
If this company hadn't proven time and again they bury people for the most trivial shit, you might actually have a point.
But they do. And they will. And they probably have.

I think this is fantastic. Can't wait for Monday!
Oh god. Look at that beautiful relleno.
Reigns has genuinely made me want to watch Raw the last few weeks. Im still not gonna watch it, but i will damn sure eagerly await for someone to upload his promo.
I don't know man. Is this a stealth hipster converter?

Never got it prior to now but everything was getting redirected within a second. I tried clearing everything, that didn't fix it.
edit: seems to be back to normal now
Investors are going to practically be begging for Shane to return once Vince croaks

They took the belt off him because they wanted heat for the return of The Authority. And because he was getting fired later that night.

I hate to say this, but there's one way to eliminate these redirects for the interim...
Investors are probably begging for Vince to croak right now considering the viewership

It is an issue with the banner ads. They are forcing autodirects. If you google the issue, there are other forums that are having the exact same problem.

It's the opposite for me. I get redirected on my desktop every now and then but mobile has been pretty spotless so far.
Because lord knows you can't have a champion that's not on TV for two weeks.
Awww don't go there Aiii... I'd happily forgotten the bullshit debacle that Lesnar being champion has turned into. I swear the next time I remember the times gone past that commentators mention the 30 day rule, or when someone gets stripped, I'm going to get mildly annoyed.
Any more emotion than that is a waste of my precious energy.

Despite Bryan looking normal in Immortals, he has one of the easier signature moves to do in the Dragon Screw. I'll take it.

My first and so far only live show was the WCW/ECW invasion PPV.
The last episode of Monday Night War is supposed to make you think it's the WCW stars fault because they all sat on their big Turner contracts before returning to WWE. In reality the last MNW episode made me think that Vince simply rushed into the Invasion angle way too soon.
As they write in The Death of WCW, Vince could have made so much money with the Invasion angle if he had gotten all those stars to jump ship that he could've easily made back the money it took to buy off the Turner contracts and then some. In hindsight it's stupid that they never did.
What's even worse is that they booked that angle to complete shit and made it all about the McMahon's instead of making it a legit invasion that had the invading force look like a legit thread.
And then they put WWF stars in it to increase the starpower, which made even less sense.
But nothing is ever their fault in these documentaries.
The second to last episode made Vince look like the savior of WCW but I'll bet all the money in my pockets against all the money in your pockets that it was Vince that encouraged TNT to drop their highest rated show.
Is this why I was being redirected to, like, Oprah.com the other day? I was so confused...
With better booking, it could have been easily done anyway. ECW should have been its own thing separate and keep them kind of tweener, but eliminated at some point. Have the Survivor Series stipulation be that Shane is removed from power of WCW and let everyone think that it's over with the WCW guys aimlessly wrestling until Bischoff comes back.
Then you've got the nWo knocking about at the start of the next year which everyone needs to team up to take out and just when it looks like WCW is on its last legs, here comes motherfucking Goldberg.
Obviously would never have happened as WCW and ECW would look too strong, but would have been more entertaining.
That whole angle was being booked by people that were still so angry and annoyed with WCW it would never have been booked the right way anyways, personal stuff got in the way.
Hell, just hearing Vince talk about Ted Turner nowadays shows just how much he still hates everything about that guy that once "tried to drive him out of business."
Really, if they could have held out another half year they could have had Hall, Hogan, Nash, Booker, DDP, Flair, and Bagwell make up the core of the WCW invasion. Then maybe we wouldn't have needed to make the Invasion all about the McMahons and then we especially wouldn't have needed EC fucking W in there too.
I don't doubt for a second that Vince did something underhanded to ensure that WCW died and that Bischoff didn't get the company.
My ideal WCW invasion, no ECW, and would have featured a ton more real WCW stars. The WWF/WCW war would be going on, lead up to the Invasion PPV, and then in the climax of the main event the nWo shows up to wreck everyone and causes WCW and WWF to join forces. Sting wouldn't show up on WWF TV until the nWo shows up, either. The invasion storyline would morph from WCW vs WWF to WCW/WWF vs the nWo. That way WCW stars don't end up getting buried and there's a more logical way to explain how the two rosters eventually merge.
Or, you know, Steiner
Yeah, him too obviously. Wasn't he wrestling overseas for a couple of years between WCW and WWE though?
Just Steiner, on his own, representing WCW, would have been awesome. Imagine the amount of promo time he would have needed. The maths. The glorious running clotheslines.
Dat pop. And the camera positioning at MSG. Good times.
Ah, I'm getting my chronology mixed up. I thought he was back by the Rumble in 2002, but it was 2003.

A Day in the Life of Nord the Barbarian
One of the strangest promotional videos I've seen for anything wrestling related, as a psychiatrist guides us through a day in the life of Nord. It's only 20 minutes long and the comedy is on par with GLOW skits, but this was certainly very FnP. Here's some gifs;

What does The Authority do when they come back, realistically, if they don't fire all guns at the guy who cost them their jobs? Beat up Cena? Throw darts at a picture of Sting? But don't throw every heel tactic in the book at the Sole Survivor to just barely get the belt off of him, that would bury him!
Nah. Demographics didn't line up with what TNT wanted at the time. WCW Nitro had ratings that were hire than many of the TNT/TBS shows at the time but the big problem was sponsors. WWE of today still struggles with that.
If you really want to see how Vince wanted WCW dead from the start when he bought them, check out the location of where they did the first 'WCW on Raw' thing. Ok. Now look at the Raw next week and see where they put that.
And tell me which you would have put 'WCW' on if you wanted it to succeed.
