The Gaffer

Username pertaining.

WWE is based in Connecticut and I know it's a bit more on the don't-ask-don't-tell side anyway but it's a bit weird considering ... well ... wrestlers are always on the road. They can get their weed with a sly nod from WWE but they're still going to be taking it through loads of states where it won't be legal?

Bit of an odd one.

You can just walk in off the street to a GP office that has a subtle pot leaf in it's logo and drop anything from insomnia to writers block. The doctors in there are pro Cannabis and using their license to dole that shit out.

Recreational =/= medical. Obviously it has legitimate medical value but it's all the same shit, over there.

Thought of another one : If I ever got into a drunk playfight/adolescent skirmish type thing I'd find myself automatically doing those verbal noises Mankind used to make during his matches [you know ... the way he'd kind of run into his opponent and go "ahhda", "wahhhdya"].

whenever i sign for a parcel i slam the pen thingy down and act as if i'm in a contract signing

I really like the visual of someone taking this all the way at a job interview or something.

Now hold on just a minute, playa.

Kurt debuts on Raw, has a woo off with Flair. Messrs Michaels & Batista show up. 2005 was hot.

Triple H and Batista backstage after Vengeance 2005.

I do the hair slicking too, but in Flair mode. It happens when I play a practical joke on someone or lay down a particularly piercing bit of verbiage or whatever the case. The ideal scenario of course is those around me lapping it up, with the 'victim' coming towards me slowly in a faux threatening manner. It was always a natural reaction. Do the whole Flair backing up, hands through the hair, that whole almost slow motion North Carolina laugh thing he's got going on. I never throw in the woo though. I don't want to be too much of a mark.

I do the hand slapping thing too all the time. It's extra cool if I'm going down a narrow alley or street with bushes or fences on both side so my two arms can reach. The Hammerstein Ballroom.

Ladders are a fairly obvious one. Can any of us honestly look at one without an inward grin? The ceiling isn't high enough to hand the belt off anyway, it would never work.

And, sadly, if I'm a bit pissed walking home late at night and I have the headphones in ... well ... you know when you 'walk with purpose'? Yeah. Don't need to explain that one.

This is amazing.

I'm sick of willing them on to be better. I want to see the motherfucker burn at this point, in the most entertaining way possible.

In the main event on Raw, was there a fuck-up with The Shield's music? Did it kick in about ten minutes before it was meant to?

 

at least they're moving in a different direction to the last time Kane un-masked ("YOU WILL FEEL MY PAIN!")

That's the main thing for me. It's automatically better than Kane's last fifty or sixty heel turns, which are always the exact same thing. "I'm a monster! Hate! Hate!"

Looks like the ad break wasn't meant to happen :

Major Production Error Happens On RAW During Commercial Break

Posted by Joseph Lee on 11.05.2013

 

Triple H and Stephanie had to scramble...

 

Those watching RAW last night (from Greenville, South Carolina) may have noticed an awkward commercial break that interrupted the final segment involving Big Show, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Just as The Shield came down to the ring, The Big Show started asking Triple H why they were there, and was cut off by the production team.

 

The ring then went dark, indicating a commercial break. Triple H, who was visibly irritated, was given a production headset (with microphone) and he began to talk with the team in the back about what was happening. Everyone in and around the ring seemed confused. McMahon went over to the Big Show and talked to him about the situation, going back and forth between him and Triple H.

 

It's unknown what the exact issue was, but it appeared to throw everyone off. Once the show came back from commercial the segment continued as if nothing happened.

"How can you trust Kane after everything he's done to you and your family"? What the fuck has Kane done to Triple H? Triple H has done all sorts to this poor cunt dating back to 99 when Chyna broke his heart, to getting X-Pac to turn on him, to when Tori broke his heart, to when he dug up and shagged Katie Vick. He's burned him with a bazooka, nicked his mask, hit him with sledgehammers. This poor bastard has been ran through the mill by Triple H. Fuck that. HHH owes Kane one I reckon.

 

Speaking of which, this is the best thing ever.

The one thing that stands out in my mind is when he raised Stephanie above his head next to the edge of a railing at the top of a set of stairs in the run up to Triple H's WrestleMania X-Seven match with 'Taker. I'm sure Kane has deft pair of mits on him but it always struck me as incredibly hazardous and I almost felt vertigo watching it. Like you say it's nothing compared to what Helmsley's done to him though [The McMahon Helmsley faction used to call him a retard constantly when that was very much allowed and in fashion for about a year].

I'm really giddy for his new role, though. It could be WrestleCrap and maybe I shouldn't be anticipating it in this annoying ~ironic "so bad it's good" kind of way but with a character like Kane you just don't know, do you? The guy's been through the ringer creative wise so much that any new character could literally mean anything for him. It could be the greatest thing ever or the worse. It probably won't help his career but almost definitely won't kill it either.

I love the idea of him using Twitter. I hope he is vocal in his new role, giving seminars to the board of directors on how maybe an inferno match would be a decent idea. If he stays quiet he just kind of reminds me a bit of The Wall.

Latest Triple H sit down. Kane is now the 'Director Of Operations'. I love this business.

He has been doing Hall Of Fame, Sky Sports and other appearances for years now in his nice Kane suits being a smart, kind of weird looking libertarian. The business is so open ended and his character is so high and dry at this point that it doesn't really matter.

Some rambling bullet points on what I thought of it :

I just got around to borrowing and finishing Halo 4 this weekend which is pretty indicative of how important the series seems to rate nowadays. Halo was the best thing ever in the run up to Halo 2 and 3 but it seems to have suffered from that "here's the next episode" syndrome far worse than the more prevalent Call Of Duty has. It's like only Microsoft consider a new Halo launch an event of great importance anymore.

Nonetheless I thought it was pretty good fun. Maybe moreso than I would have had I bought it on day one. The biggest difference to the structure of the game seems to be that the souped up graphics pushed the 360's hardware capabilities to the point where those big, sprawling open areas are mostly done away with in favor of lots and lots of silver corridors which makes it feel a lot like Combat Evolved.

It's lazy level design but it's kind of what I expect from Halo in the same way that Doom was full of these ridiculously labyrinthine levels towards the later episodes. The guns feel great to shoot and the new enemies - whatever they're called, those gold things - make a welcome change from fighting the Covenant. The story is convoluted to the point where I had no idea what was going on though. And I'm someone who wasted his time on the novelisations of the series as a teenager. All I can say for sure is that the words 'reclaimer' and 'composer' are used throughout. It's also really short and kinda ends suddenly.

What the game actually gets you to do in order to advance the plot is also more transparent than it ever was. Literally every single mission breaks down into a sequence of pushing three to four buttons in three to four copycat structures in order to activate something and move on.

I know I probably shouldn't but I loved Citizen Kane. It's a bit WrestleCrap but it makes for hilarious viewing from a guy who is essentially impervious from being damaged anymore anyway. He looks like the worst American president ever in some twisted alternate history HBO drama.

I know most WWE PPV posters tend to be just vague, stylized images of stars who are big at the time of promotion but eh ...

... this is quite left of field, isn't it? Loony Corporation 2013 spoiler theories or just a downright bizarre poster choice?

These two always had fantastic chemistry together that never really materialized into a decent, lengthy program. If for nothing else watch for Jericho selling the stunner at 13:50. The two are having a ball with each other.

I'll be there, idle and fabulous.

With Eve Torres no less. Someone who elicits such silence from the crowd that I genuinly feel sorry for her when she bounces out.

http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/247197-rep...-due-to-ratings

Several days ago we reported that CM Punk might be in danger of losing the WWE Title soon due to poor ratings of his weekly Raw segments.

 

F4WOnline.com is now reporting, also as a result of poor ratings, that WWE has placed Zack Ryder in a romance story line with Eve Torres in order to distance him from the main event picture.

 

The report is noting that these managerial moves are stemming from the very poor 2.67 cable rating drawn by the main event of last week's Raw Supershow. It's being said that the current Ryder/Torres story line is expected to continue for the next several weeks.

Authentic Meltzer snowflakes, they are.

Yeah how is this shiz-nit getting decided? It's 21:51!

I'm coming to the UKFF from a proper bitching pill related flat so ehh I don't feel like playing any rival raps out loud on my ol' muckers laptop but if Pitcos has it nailed I tip my hat to him. I wasn't too fucked about banning anyway for five weeks anyway.

It would have been ajmcCANTENJOYAFUCKINGVIDEOGAME.

Yeah. Rock on with the cock on, lads.

I love the UKFF.
