Ugh.

I love that Nia's getting heat from crowds - she brings a needed dynamic to the women's roster in the form of a big bruiser. And Samoa Joe gets more terrifying the softer he speaks, which is great character work.

My favorite segment of the night by far, despite that it was momentarily ruined by yet another series of "WHAT?!" responses during Cass' apology.

I want that XCOM2 expansion so. Much.

Honestly, the game I've put the most time into this year is Monster Slayers. The quick card play and deckbuilding aspects, combined with the roguelike nature and unlockables make it stupid addicting. I'm gradually working my way through Prey, and while I do appreciate its System Shock 2 vibe, something about it just…

Stephen Root deserves SO MANY accolades for his work as Bill.

Still my favorite King work.

Mainly I don't like that every third "post" is an ad for gaming equipment and every other one is yet another pro gaming tournament/online arena highlight reel, snack food review, toy video or other stuff I don't care about. When they do longform journalism, opinion pieces and actual reporting or reviews, they can be…

Totally agree on Nak/Ziggler, and I'm getting invested in Owens/Styles, which is a good thing. Carmella's promo was exactly what she needed to do, and I do think that the MitB II next week is also what needs to be done (although I'll eat my hat if Carmella doesn't just win that one outright).

You know, I confess I only saw half that movie for reasons which are too stupid to go into here.

Fair enough. I actually like Howard's movies up until around the first Da Vinci Code film, but I just am dying for a breath of fresh air in the Star Wars universe.

Ron Howard's exactly the kind of safe, non-distinctive director I'd hire for an expensive franchise installment that I basically knew was going to print money by virtue of its existence. As someone once told me, when's the last time you thought, "Whoa, Ron Howard directed the shit out of that movie?"

Yeah, they certainly didn't need to dick around for 10 minutes bringing out the Revival and Big Show, only for Corey Graves (?!?) to make the big reveal. (I wonder if that was to lay the groundwork for Angle's eventual exit?)

I think Tom is way better than Michael "THE SPEAR!!!" Cole at this point. Booker T is, as you say, enthusiastic and at least engaged; I have zero use for Corey Graves. JBL is a dumpster fire and makes my ears bleed, and I had even forgotten who the third guy was until you brought him up, which is a good indicator of…

I do like the Goldust promos, and he's definitely giving off the creepy movie-obsessed serial killer vibe.

Goddammit, WWE, you found a way to make me well up for Enzo Goddamn Amore. THAT is how you do a full-on heel turn - great job by both him and Big Cass. In another weirdly emotional turn, I really liked the crowd chanting "You deserve it" for Rollins, even if it was just for a stupid video game cover.

Please let this be good. Please let this be good. Please let this be good.

Agree completely. "Not entirely terrible" is a pretty low standard to hold a champion to.

I detest Corbin, but you make a good point about priming SDL for a heel cash-in.

Agree with most everything here; the matches themselves were for the most part incredibly entertaining (the Naomi/Lana and Breezango/Ascension matches aside), and even the Mahal/Orton match surprised me (I think this is the longest bout I've ever seen Mahal in, and he did a credible job). The main event was violent,…
