I hadn't, but a few minutes of Googling brought this up: http://www.showbuzzdaily.co…

Again, the line was more about bumping the other three shows than anything else. I'd like to see the next chapter in that Grinder arc, dammit! That's a legitimate, non-snarky emotion I feel!

I think the tiredness of it was implicit in my bailing in it basically mid-sentence.

That was less meant as a joke than as a relatively earnest if shorthand recognition of a statistical/demographic reality. I don't think people are stupid for watching NCIS — not my cup of tea, but like 95% of TV isn't my cup of tea — but it's not exactly controversial to say its viewership skews older.

The Miz is *tremendous* at what he does. I *really* didn't want him to swipe the belt off Zack Ryder (even though I realize he's the epitome of a transitional champion), but I suppose that's the whole point of generating heel heat?

Heath Slater it is!

Oh goodness, that's horrifyingly right.

John Travolta is going to play one hell of a Hurricane Katrina.

Yeah, but if, like, that person was a mildly repressive dictator, or something.

Hence why I covered myself with the very useful "or some shit like that" modifier.

They may have. Just let me have my stupid Charles Guiteau dream!

I mean, if he died I *guess* I'd feel bad, but I also feel like he would have gone out the way he wanted to, you know?

You know beema, if there was a way for me to deliver WOT to everyone else and stick you with a blank screen (published at 10 minutes after midnight!), I swear to god…

I mean, I agree wholeheartedly that Wrestlemania ought to be the season finale as much as humanly possible, and it makes no sense not to wrap up the Styles-Jericho story then and there. That was just the only way I could make sense of it that wasn't just Vince being vindictive.

I compressed my point there, but the idea was that WWE needed Owens to win for Owens' own sake, so AJ had to take a distracted loss that protected KO and at least semi-protected AJ, whereas Y2J could shake off the distraction and still roll up Fandango because Fandango is lowest of the low carders.

This is where being a TV critic probably helps, honestly. It's trained me to view bad storytelling from a mechanical "why did this work/not work" perspective, instead of getting too emotionally invested.

What's the complete list of guys you could plausibly call indie darlings on the main roster? Because, if I can just throw caution to the wind and fantasy-book like it's going out of style(s):
