This is the weirdest fucking thing ever to be angry about.

Here’s the thing... your “criticism” of Okada-Omega makes a ton of sense to me. You’re not invested in their characters so you don’t care about the in ring stuff, I get that. I love their matches but I get that. Your criticism of NXT not telling stories isn’t an opinion, it’s just 100 percent wrong. They literally tell the best stories in pro wrestling. But it is what it is.

This comment is almost as laughable as Y2HH saying he’s watched NXT before.

I'm pretty convinced you don't give NXT a shot at all. I completely understand it not being your style. It's pro wrestling, everyone has their likes and dislikes, that's what's great about this time in the wrestling business is there is something for everyone. That said, to say NXT doesn't have character development or good storylines is just flat out incorrect. Their matches and their ppv's are always great but the reason people get so invested in the characters is because of how they're presented and the build ups in these feuds.

Thought it was really good overall. Main event was dumb and f*** Lesnar but whatever, didn't give a s*** about that match anyways. I also thought Taker-Cena was super stupid and yes of course it got a pop out of the crowd, Taker will always get a pop out of the crowd but he had a perfect send off last year and wish they would have just left it there. And Cena could be used a lot better. Nak-Styles was good, not great imo but high expectations there. They over thought the crap out of the Bryan match but awesome to see that dude back. Ronda and the IC title match were the highlights for me and I had no expectations for the mixed tag going in.

Ladder match was incredible, still might be 3rd on my MOTY list at the moment. That might be the best card of all time under the wwe umbrella though. Every freaking match was at least great.

On Engel's defense, dude gets to balls that most CF's don't. The two balls he's dropped this year I don't think a lot of CF's get to. That said, he's here for his defense and if he's going to get to those balls he has to finish the play off and make the catch. On the throw to home, I have no issue with the thought process, if he makes a good throw there he's got a good chance to get the runner, problem is he didn't make a good throw. And ya, Nate was getting squared up pretty good last night but as long as he's healthy, he'll be fine.

Hope the lack of a good looking line doesn't take away from how Carson actually looked out there tonight. His pitches seemingly had more movement on them than they've had for the past 2 years and that was awesome to see. Still has to harness his control as when he was getting hit around it's because he was falling behind hitters. Certainly not saying he's going to be part of the future rotation or anything but at least he's starting to show something out there.

That was fun! I really hope everyone just enjoys this season even when this team has their low moments. The highs are going to be super fun like today. Great start!

QUOTE (Sonik22 @ Feb 27, 2018 -> 07:28 AM) Go Dawgs. Limping in to say the least. Really don't like our odds to have to probably beat Missouri State and Alize a 3rd time. That's where I'm at and I wouldn't feel comfortable against Valpo either. That said, I'm being pessimistic just to be pessimistic, it's Loyola's tournament to lose but everything else is completely up for grabs. Hoping like hell to see us play on Sunday for the first time since 07.

First time since I’ve been going that I’m not doing the all session pass. I’ll be there for all the SIU games though so 1 game it is for me.

Brian makes the B10 tournament thread but not the Arch Madness one. SMH.

QUOTE (balfanman @ Feb 18, 2018 -> 08:31 PM) Thank you Greg. I'm simply asking an honest question. I do not know Moncada personally and I hope that this is just a poor translation. But if there is an attitude issue it could easily grow into a situation leading to a clubhouse problem. We all have seen athletic prima donas. That particular quote just hit me wrong, but as I said in the beginning, it could well be a misquote. There's no attitude problem.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 11, 2018 -> 09:36 PM) Barry Hinson continuing on at SIU. ... Yay or nay? All of us SIU guys are going to tell you the same thing every time you ask this question, Greg.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jan 12, 2018 -> 10:50 AM) at KC- Shields, Giolito, Lopez at Tor- Gonzalez, Fulmer, Shields First home series- vs Det- Giolito, Lopez, Gonzalez I'm on board with this. Team isn't winning this year so I don't really care who starts opening day but let one of the kids start the home opener to give the crowd something fun to start the season.

Ya I've enjoyed the first two episodes so far. Good mix of old and new.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 26, 2017 -> 08:59 AM) Kind of upset WWE put the tag titles on Rollins and Jordan. This is 100 percent me speculating here but I'm guessing they use that as a way to make Ambrose pissy when he comes back(he's not going to be out 9 months) and turn him heel.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 22, 2017 -> 06:38 PM) Trae Young is simply incredible I’m in absolute awe of this kid.

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Dec 22, 2017 -> 10:12 AM) Eaton is 29, Yelich is 25. Those 4 years make a huge difference. Yelich is 26, Eaton was 28 when we traded him so not as huge as a difference. I'm fine with them being intrigued and if he comes at a reasonable price then I'm all about it. He's not going to come at a reasonable price though and to be honest, I don't want any part of him with what he is going to cost.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Dec 19, 2017 -> 07:59 PM) Trae Young, 29 points and 22 assists in 29 minutes, dear God His first half against the Shockers over the weekend is one of the best halves I've seen a college kid play in a looooong time. This kid is absolutely incredible. He's the best player in college basketball and it's not close.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 18, 2017 -> 10:58 AM) Try and keep up, son. My post was out of date. Hope it means Vince is handing the controls over for good while he wastes more of Steph and Shane's inheritance on something else. It was from Saturday night and legit people picked up on it Friday night. I saw the date of it and wouldn’t miss a chance to tell you you’re wrong.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 16, 2017 -> 08:50 PM) I don’t believe it since some unverified dude on twitter reported it. Nobody else has picked it up. He’s too old to start another venture, especially resurrecting one that failed. This isn't true. A lot of the legit reporters picked up on it Friday night after the rumor started. There's a lot of smoke there. QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 18, 2017 -> 10:28 AM) I was happy with last night's show. Jinder still sucks in the ring, but overall the show kept me entertained. Agreed for the most part. US title match and tag titles match were super fun. KO/Sami vs. Nak/Randy wasn't great in the ring but told the story perfectly and I loved the ending. The WWE title match was probably the most uninteresting match AJ has had all year but that's cause of the competition.

QUOTE (Quin @ Dec 15, 2017 -> 01:19 PM) Avi + Adams + Puckett Yes/No? Ya, that's something I do in a heart beat. Trading TA at this point is a bad idea especially for one year of Manny.

Well I'm not going to sit here and argue about this. You can revisit this in a month or probably a week when they're playing awful again.
