As incredible as Flair talking into the book was, nothing comes close to Haas vs. Lillian. I must have watched that back at least fifty times, it getting funnier and funnier every time I heard Charlie shout, "YEAH!" at the precise moment that Lillian screamed in pain. I genuinely just giggled as I typed that. Hilarious moment.

Yeah, fair enough, December to Dismember was a big bag of wank. But in the past, even if every match on the undercard failed to deliver, you could almost always rely on the Royal Rumble match delivering. When it sucked a big massive corpse-raping dick this year, coupled with one of the shittest undercards in the history of everything, it solidified that event as my worst of the year no matter what. I don't think I've ever felt as depressed about the state of American pro wrestling as I did after that show.

The Boogeyman. I won't ever forgive him for how embarassed he made me feel watching Wrestlemania with my brother. His match with Booker T and the wife was fucking diabolical.

I see what you mean (originally I thought Vamp meant fake accolades = success), but I've always voted for babyface or heel of the year based on how well they've connected with the fans in that role as opposed to how they've been booked. For instance look at The Great Khali. He came in and destroyed Smackdown's two top babyfaces, Rey Mysterio and The Undertaker, with the latter taking a beating like never before. On that basis Khali would be considered a good heel but in reality he was one of the worst of all time, since he was laughed out of the building more often than not. And in the same vein just because Cena was booked as a hero doesn't mean it worked, and therefore I don't think you can use his title wins as evidence of him being a good babyface. Does that make sense? It should be how he's connecting, not how he's being portrayed.I'd be interested to know on what basis others have voted. How they're portrayed? How they connect with the majority? How the connect with you? Simply how much you've enjoyed them in that role? Or a combination?

Mines a combination personally. I think how well the person is booked should be taken into consideration, and Cena's been booked well (well, since Mania and onwards) as a babyface, and plus I fully believe he's performed well. If you're not going to count the booking, then Cena being booed wouldn't be taken into account anyway, as they only arrived due to poor booking in the first place. Personally I think Cena's booking as a hero has worked. I connected with the character somewhat in the build up to 'Mania and so forth, when he became a much more well developed person besides just a rapper. I've always thought Cena was fairly good as well, he can cut good promos when he wants to and I don't really have a problem with his in ring work (bar the dire STFU). Besides, he's constantly over with women and children, and the majority of people who boo'ed him seemed, at least in my opinion, to be doing it merely to look cool. The sad fact is that in the modern day world, people who deem themselves as true experts of anything, will rarely root for the big dog or the person who's at the top.

Sorry, the last thing I can be arsed doing is discussing what type of fans boo John Cena. That's so late 2005.But thinking about it, I suppose you're right about babyfaces of the year being a combination of performance, booking, connection with the crowd and/or me as an individual. And then thinking about it some more, it's depressing that I can't think of a single candidate who meets even the majority of that criteria. I like John Cena, he's one of the few things worth watching WWE for, but the booking of his character is ridiculously inconsistent and it's when he's getting booed out of the building that I find him and his matches most entertaining. Hardly somebody you could nominate for babyface of the year. Triple H showed signs of awesomeness as a tweener in April but ever since DX reformed and he turned fully fledged face I've loathed his presence, knowing how great he could be were he not booked as a spastic, by spastics. I suppose he does connect with the fans, but certainly not with me. Who else? Rey Mysterio did such an amazing job of making me vomit earlier in the year that I abandoned Smackdown completely, and because of that I've seen very little of him, Batista, or any Smackdown babyfaces for that matter. All TNA guys are voided because shit booking has made me apathatic to the whole company and it's impossible to tell who's over with the casual audience anyway since their regular crowd is made up entirely of cretins.I guess the closest person to meet all of the criteria, and therefore the one guy I'll nominate, is Shawn Michaels. While he's in the same situation as Triple H, over with the crowd but bogged down by the shitty DX booking, the way he seems to revel in the stupidity and goofyness of it all is a serious guilty pleasure of mine. Even some of the worst DX segments have been somewhat saved by HBK's performance and on more than one occassion I've found myself wanting to hate something only for Shawn to save it with a goofy face or phrase. He's not had a scorcher of a year by any means, the Vince feud was wank, the DX vs. McMahons feud was wank, and I can't say he's had too many amazing matches either. But he's the best choice I can think of, which says alot.

John Cena walks away with this year, at least, in my opinion. Started off the year as the most unlikely cadidate to win the award, but in character terms he really devoloped. Went into three of the most hostile crowd situations of the year, and twice left as the WWE Champion. His promo after WrestleMania also happened to be one of the best babyface promos I've seen or heard in quite a while.

I don't understand why you've mentioned that as if it adds weight to the argument of Cena being a good babyface. It's, like, fake.

Coming out of the situation as the heroic champion does make a good babyface.

Smallville: The Complete First Season

 

So according to the mate who loaned me this I unfairly declared Smallville shit based on the handful of episodes I half-watched and if I gave it a proper chance I'd love it. With alot of spare time at the moment and no cash to fill it with I decided I might as well give it a try. I went into it with an open mind and genuinely wanted to enjoy it, honest. I couldn't though because it's shit, which is a huge shame because it starts off great. Brilliant visuals, impressive CGI, subtle nods, interesting plot, fucking around with religious imagery, I LOVED the pilot and was already planning on how I was going to pick up the other four seasons once the credits rolled.

 

But then it all went to shit soon after. Almost instantly it descends into this awful "freak of the week," pattern in which every episode features the exact same plot; random new character is introduced, random new character is revealed to have a superpower (always attributed to the debri left from the Kryptonic meteor shower, no variety to be found here my friend), random dude gets defeated by Clark, the end. Seriously, every single episode. Now even if you can get past how tedious this is (you can't) and how fucking lazy the writing is (you really, really can't), the fact that seemingly everyone in Smallville has super powers completely kills the novelty of Clark having them himself. Why consider him different if he's actually just the king of what's normal? And why is he even hiding his powers if it's a regular occurrence to meet Bug-Man, Fire-Man, Ice-Man, Ability-to-Become-Young-Man or Weight-loss-Girl? By the way, I made none of them up, including Weight-Loss-Girl.

 

Also, to conclude this rant there's this fantastic concept introduced in the pilot where Clark's love interest wears a tiny piece of Kryptonite on a necklace as a tribute to her dead parents, meaning Clark can never get too close to her without feeling sick. It's a great idea and it's used brilliantly in the first few episodes, with who's got possession of the necklace driving the plot forward. Then comes episode five or six and for no apparant reason it no longer affects Clark and he can hang with his woman even though DEADLY POISON IS HANGING FROM HER NECK. I can't put into words how annoying it is to see it just hanging there as they chat over a cup of coffee.

 

I made it to episode nine before deciding I was wasting my time. For all I know this show could have improved dramatically as it moved into seasons two through five. I'll never know though because it's physically impossible to make it through Season 1. It's as if they're gloating at how shit they're getting away with being.

I'm not here to slate anyone, it seems that paranoia runs wild when you say somthing on here about people not having lifes, everyone comes running shouting at you like you are pretending to be cool, seems it rattles people because maybe they know there is some truth in it.

Nobody pulled you up on whether you told them to get a life or not, they pulled you up on the ignorant, narrow mindedness of your comments. You're not here to slate anyone? You said if people didn't conform to your view of what a man is they should cut their penis off. Saying somebody doesn't deserve their penis is pretty slatey in my book.

I can't see what's wrong with being a lad, If thats what you are. It's what men were designed to do after all. We like fast cars, football, strippers, girls with big tits and hookers. If you don't like these things then as someone has said already, cut your dick off and leave it at the door because its a waste.

That's the most ridiculous statement I've ever read. If I don't fit into your stereotype of a man I should cut my dick off? Dude, you like professional wrestling, considered by the majority of blokes~! to be the fruit bootyest interest possible. So are you going to cut your dick off? Of course not because, get this, different people have different tastes. Actually, haven't we been here before with you struggling to understand such an incredible concept as differing tastes? I'm sure we have. If you fail to grasp a concept after it's been clearly explained to you in the past then you should cut your brain out because it's a waste.
