Guest Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Is there a sponsored jump the sharkathon on here that I missed? It's been in nearly every thread this week, and is getting butchered to fuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I only just learned off here that the phrase came from Happy Days and now I'm wondering if the definition of it in my head is correct saying for example New Day jumped the shark when they began repeating "they make sure you ain't booty" every week would be a correct usage of it right? I can't even think how a fan can jump the shark though, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambulance Chaser Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 No a jump the shark moment to my mind would be you STOPPING watching raw BECAUSE you are sick of new day keep repeating "they make sure you aint booty". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Fonz wasn't jumping sharks every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.E Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) I only just learned off here that the phrase came from Happy Days and now I'm wondering if the definition of it in my head is correct saying for example New Day jumped the shark when they began repeating "they make sure you ain't booty" every week would be a correct usage of it right? I can't even think how a fan can jump the shark though, haha. via wiki: "Jumping the shark" is an idiom popularized by Jon Heinthat was used to describe the moment in the evolution of a television show when it begins a decline in quality, signaled by a particular scene, episode, or aspect of a show in which the writers use some type of gimmick in an attempt to keep viewers' interest, which is taken as a sign of desperation, and is seen by viewers to be the point at which the show strayed irretrievably from its original formula. The phrase is based on a scene from a fifth-season episode of the sitcom Happy Days when the character Fonzie jumps over a shark while on water-skis.

DavidB6937 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Not that I needed to be made excited for Balor/Nakamura at all, but they've done a damn fine job in building it up. Much like the Seth/Roman stuff on the main roster, these types of build up really get my attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobra_gordo Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Just tried it with one of the Samoa Joe shirts and it's saying not recognised. There's a 30% off code on the main page, save30, thought I'd try my luck and see if both work together...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burchybabi Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Any hints for the above spoiler, is it in relation to tonight's show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dart Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 It's to do with the next Takeover but could spoil upcoming episodes, not much though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Last night's taping sounded pretty good. Takeover is looking like another decent event and the roster is very strong at the moment. A good balance of new talent and well known names. They'll certainly survive whatever call ups are coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Loved how the near entirety of last nights show was just for the Balor/Nakamura match, was an absolute cracker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 It was a good match, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would do, and even then I can't explain why. Maybe with not being live on a Takeover show and being on the TV show with two ad breaks inserted took me out of it a little bit. If they'd just let it play out rather than cut to two ads, it might have pulled me in a little more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
