No.Just no.

The spelling and grammar is bad enough alone.

"Sky Movies Christmas" is bugging me. It's not even the middle of November.

The Sky Christmas Advert must have cost a fortune too. No wonder their subscription costs are so high. Well that and the fact subscribers are paying footballer's wages.

I don't think anything has ever annoyed me enough on Facebook to comment in this thread- until I saw otherwise cool, interesting people I know are sharing Christmas ads. Fucking hell, it's only November and people are desperate to get involved in the marketing machine for this crap, it's gross.

Christmas ads kind of annoy me full stop. Christ knows how much of these company's advertising budgets could've been spent on say, something like a Christmas bonus for frontline staff. Is spending a fortune on a Hollywood style advert really necessary?

Totally get it's a business and people are in it to make money. Just think Lesnar was kind of lucky that Vince was willing to forgive and forget the fact that he walked out on them when WWE had plans for him to be their top man for years to come. If anything, Lesnar's run in UFC made his stock rise even higher and allowed him to get the great contract he has now. He's obviously a smart businessman and is extremely wealthy but his whole "I don't want to be here so I'll put on a crap match" attitude at Wrestlemania 20 stunk.

When Austin asked Lesnar why they stunk up MSG with their match at Mania 20 Brock simply said because neither of them wanted to be there. Then Austin comes back with "But it was WrestleMania 20" to which Brock replied "I don't give a shit"  At least he doesn't sugar-coat what he really thinks just because he's currently working for Vince like most others.

That's not a good attitude to have on Brock's behalf. Brock was being paid a lot of money to be there. He obviously had no regard for all the fans who'd paid a lot of money (and travelled a lot of miles) to be there too. Not to mention the fans who'd paid to watch on pay per view. WWE invested a lot of time and money in Lesnar and quite frankly, he threw the opportunity back in their face. You could argue Lesnar is fortunate that Vince allowed him back after the way he behaved (let along give him the money he's on and the limited appearance deal). He comes across as a selfish arsehole at times quite frankly. Don't tell him I said that mind.

 

What's actually wrong with that? It's a job and he's good at it, when JR offered him a load of money to sign it's not like he was going to go "Nah sorry, didn't watch it when I was a kid so I'll turn you down"

 

One of the positives of Lesnar not being arsed about it except for the money is that they won't have a problem with him putting people over, so when he does finally finish he can hopefully make someone

 

Nothing wrong with that in all honesty but when he decided to walk out on WWE in the prime of his career in 2004, it kind of rubbed the fans up the wrong way at the time. The fact that he doesn't care one bit about professional wrestling explains a lot about his decision to quit at the time. I doubt WWE were too thrilled with him either.

Yep the Lesnar Podcast was a disappointment. Fell asleep half way through. To Lesnar, WWE is just a payday. Reading his book, he had zero interest in professional wrestling growing up (something that he confirmed in the Podcast). Saying that, his match against UT was awesome so he's forgiven.

Must admit, I'm getting a bit bored of the new Star Wars Trailer shares and the messages that people have pre-booked their tickets for the first night showing. And this is just the start!

Watch it!!!!

I most certainly will!

Have to say that I forgot how good Saturday Night's Main Event was. Just watched the second one from 1985 (Uncle Elmer's Wedding). Matches were pretty short but some of the segments were quite amusing. Piper was gold on the mic as usual too. Looking forward to watching some more of these.

Rumours doing the rounds today that Hogan is on his way back to TNA because WWE have no interest in him anymore. I thought TNA distanced themselves from Hogan too? If this is true, anyone would think they didn't know what they were doing

One of my Facebook friends is getting married this weekend and don't we all know it. She's only had to remind us all about it every day for the last 18 months or whatever its been. Top that with badly spelled rants about people claiming benefits and airing dirty laundry amongst us and I wonder why I'm actually still friends with her. Suppose she can be quite entertaining in a "laughing at them, not with them" kind of way.

Labour having "integrity in opposition" and 50p buys someone on the end of the current barage of cuts a oacket of super noodles. It's better to have an electable Labour party that can get into power and do some good than have a Labour party with "integrity" that can do no good but make people on Twitter feel good about themslves.

Well said.

Some really harsh stuff in this thread IMO. Foley was super over in the Attitude era and was one of WWE's top stars. He was given the Heavyweight Title because he'd worked his way up through the industry for years and deserved it. Yes, he damaged his body along the way but natural genetics weren't in his favour. He wasn't a natural athlete and he looked a strange fit at times but like I say, fans thought he was awesome at the time, he knew how to get over and can say he lived the dream. I for one respect that. He Main evented Wrestlemania too so Vince must've seen something in him. Not to mention spawning the copycat craze of writing an autobiography. Can hardly remember any wrestler biographies before Foley's. Now there are loads and they still get written to this day.

She'll find her way in her own time though. Some people don't see the relationship as the means to be happy a lot of the time. She might well get fulfilment in other ways, perhaps from charity work or looking after relatives for example. Plus, you're looking at it from a guy's pov. Women don't think the same my friend. My partner would be furious if she saw your comments.

Yep, women don't think the same. And sorry if I've offended any women on here with my comments. And whilst on the subject, are there any female wrestling fans on here who want to get in touch? Feel free to message me lol. #ukffdating

MRK, I respect her decision. She probably doesn't see me in that way and I accept that. I just find it strange how someone that nice hasn't had a relationship for so many years. I think men ask her out quite often but nobody ever seems to be good enough for her. That to me sounds like trust issues. Not that it matters now anyway. Like I say, I've got no other choice but to move on.

 

(she's mid 30s and lives at home)

To be fair that's probably for the best, I tried living in the woods for a while but it wasn't much cop.

Meant with parents but point taken.

Asked out a girl at work this week. Knew she was leaving so thought it was now or never. She said no as she "doesn't see me in that way". Turns out she hasn't been in a relationship for many years after being practically settled down at a young age and was either dumped or cheated on and therefore hurt. It's obvious she has trust issues with men. She's now gone, I'll likely never see her again (I have her number but I'm not being the first to initiate contact) and I'm devastated. This hurts a lot more than I thought it would but I'm not just sorry for myself, I'm sad she has these trust issues. I'll move on but fuck this week. A legend like Piper dying who I had the honour to meet last year was the icing on the cake.

According to Facebook the most efficient way to steal a dog is to go to a house when the owners are out and leave a chalk mark ( like a 19th century vagrant) then come back at a later date and steal the unsuspecting mutt. Not to take it there and then. That would be far too easy.

Despite this being the most retarded way to steal anything ( and being well documented as a pretty obvious urban myth) it's now taken on a life of it's own on my feed and is being supported by all sorts of 'my friend found a chalk mark this morning) anecdotal evidence.

I saw that too. First thought that it was most likely nonsense. Speaking of dogs, one of my Facebook friends moved in with his gf and she owns a Bulldog. He seems more keen on the dog than he is on her. He's obsessed! Constant pictures of the dog and shares of dog memes. I've nothing against dogs but my God, when people say the British like their dogs, they're not lying.

Grosse Pointe Blank is still a pretty good movie but I just think any kind of reunion involving people who were never my friends in the first place sounds like a bad idea. There'd be a lot of "look at me" going on with certain people and I really don't think I could pretend to like those individuals for even one evening. I know certain people change but I'm willing to bet that some of them are still bellends.

It's the 20th anniversary of our class of '95 finishing our GCSEs this June and leaving School (yes I'm old). A girl who I went to school with decided to create a group to celebrate this and invited a load of us in. I've looked at the list of people who are also in the group and it reads like a who's who of bellends who I'm not Facebook friends with. People have also been discussing our days at school as if they were good times (good times that I struggle to recall). Seems to have gone quiet on the school reunion front over the last couple of weeks. Probably because there are a lot of mutual feelings of dislike amongst us. Needless to say that if there is a Do organised, I won't be going. Nice of the girl to set this up but I'm not liking the idea.

Not saying that anyone is being friendzoned here but it's happened to me and this is all I can say about that kind of situation. Walking away from being friend-zoned is actually great advice. If you walk away and the girl wants you back as more than a friend, she'll say so. If she doesn't contact you, then you're free to move on with your life and find someone who actually wants you. Wanting a girl in your life who doesn't feel the same way about you often isn't a good idea and likely won't end well.

 

On a side note, maybe a timeline list that shows all network content in chronological order would be a good idea? Just a thought...

 

 

There is a chornological list of content on Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/wiki/wwe_network_shows_chron

 

There are also lists categorised by talent, match type, and chronological order by promotion here: http://www.reddit.com/r/squaredcircle/wiki/network

Thanks. That'll come in handy.

Decided to try watching all pay per views that I've missed chronologically. Possibly all Saturday Night's Main Events and Clash of the Champions too if I can be bothered. Started with Starcade 1983. Looks dated but that's because it's from 1983. The quality of wrestling was overall probably better than anything the WWF were doing at the time. Ric Flair vs Harley Race in a cage for the Title was very good. A LOT of blading seemed to happen in NWA which I think added to the realism of the product (screw you TV PG!).
