    Hell In A Cell 2016 General Discussion & Reviews

    Hell In A Cell Hits and Misses: Hell In A Cell Hits: Charlotte vs. Sasha Banks: A historic, excellent match with a lousy ending. Natural Selection there just didn't seem like enough to end the match. Despite that, this was an excellent match. WWE took a huge chance in having the women...

    Hell in a Cell worth watching?

    Nothing on the show was bad, and you've got a double historic moment in the women main eventing the show and their first HIAC match. Big thumbs up for the show.

    Who's benfitted most from the brand split?

    The idea behind the brand split is to enhance talent who are underutilized, and to make new stars. Under WWE’s model before the split, it was difficult for new stars to emerge, and other wrestlers got buried on the depth chart. With most of the bigger names appearing on both Raw and Smackdown...

    WWE Hell In A Cell: WWE Raw Women Championship - Sasha Banks © VS Charlotte

    Generally speaking, it's because Vince has always held to the belief that women don't draw a dime. I don't know if that's changed since HHH has taken over a corporate role, but Vince has always seen women as being filler and a buffer, and for many years, can you blame him? When you've had...

    Official Raw/Smackdown Aftermath, Ratings and Review Thread

    Smackdown Hits: John Cena vs. Dean Ambrose: A very good main event with a surprise ending. I was waiting on Styles to run in and interfere so that this match would wind up a no contest. Ambrose going over makes perfect sense with him getting his one on one rematch next week, and gets a huge...

    Can we discuss the disparity between Raw and Smackdown now?

    I looked at the time this thread was posted because I wasn't sure if it was before or after Smackdown from last night, because Smackdown put on another excellent show last night after Raw was quite mediocre. Backlash was an excellent show, and WWE has followed up on that with two very good...

    Official Raw/Smackdown Aftermath, Ratings and Review Thread

    Raw Hits: Seth Rollins vs. Rusev: A strong opening match that protected both men heading into the PPV. Rollins size and offensive arsenal make him a natural face, and those skills were on full display here. WWE hasn't really committed to Rollins as a face as of yet, as he's missing that...

    Mass Murderer wins human rights case...

    Nah, he really shouldn't be. This case brings to mind one that occurred in my neck of the woods(close to Pittsburgh PA), where a death row inmate appealed his living conditions. http://triblive.com/news/westmoreland/8826864-74/smyrnes-death-county This classy young man(Ricky...

    WWE Clash Of Champions: Raw Tag Team Championship - New Day (c) VS Gallows & Anderson

    Nah, not really. That's simply not who they are. They tried that in the feud with the Wyatt's and it just felt off, didn't it? Most of what makes the New Day entertaining is their irreverence for their opponents, and that should be their downfall as well. As for who wins the match, it has...

    The Daniel Bryan/WWE Doctors Storyline

    The problem I have with this storyline is simple: It's another wrestler vs. authority figure story. Watching the issue between Bryan and Miz escalate has been frustrating for me more than anything, because at some point the talking has to end and the fighting needs to begin. And for as good as...

    What song are you currently listening to?

    It's been two years since I've done this, and it took me a minute to remember how to post a video. :blush: kwVV6PhL1tk I've been listening to Stitched Up Heart, Of Eyes That See and Blameshift quite a bit recently, as they're all bands with female lead singers. I'd never heard of Halflives...

    WWE No Mercy: WWE Smackdown Women's Championship - Becky Lynch (c) VS Alexa Bliss

    While I completely dig the Harley Quinn persona that Bliss has adopted, she's simply not ready to hold a championship. Her timing and execution of her spots are shaky at best, and she's not really had much development as a character. She was really an afterthought going into the six-pack...

    2016 In Film

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt this way. The movie gets off to a hot start with the first bank robbery, and the film does a brilliant job of showing the economic devastation that has overtaken the small towns. Ben Foster and Chris Pine have good chemistry as brothers who are as...

    WWE No Mercy: WWE World Championship - AJ Styles (c) VS John Cena VS Dean Ambrose

    Isn't it funny how they've already built this matchup better than they did the match in which Styles won the title? Granted, a lot of that has to do with John Cena, as he has a personal issue with Styles already and one with Ambrose was created rather quickly. But it felt natural to have...

    Judge Allows White Supremacist To Cover His Nazi Tattoos So Jurors Can Treat Him Fair

    As much as we like to think as human beings that we're impartial and unbiased, we're simply not. This works for me for several reasons. First, the man isn't going on trial for anything related to his being a white supremacist. He's doing so for allegedly robbing a man at gunpoint. That has...

    The BS That Is Ray Rice's Indefinite Suspension (Please read OP before responding)

    Their dilemma is this; Either the Ravens and Goddell/Bisciotti and his crew are wholly incompetent, or they were betting that the New Jersey State Police were, and that the general public were fools. Even without the beginning of the video, Rice himself admitted that he knocked her out, he...

    Sons of Anarchy

    The same could be said for the episode lengths in general. From the last half of season 6 until now, the episodes have been far too long, which lessens the tension. Not every moment needs to be monumental, but there's so much wasted time, something that shouldn't be in the final season where...
