QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 19, 2011 -> 06:27 PM) Storyline only Sean Waltman tweeted the following, clarifying his Triple H-Vince McMahon tweet from last night: “To clarify my tweet last night. Raw last night was real on a symbolic level.” Last night, Waltman wrote that the storyline on TV was “real.” It should be noted that Vince McMahon is still the “head man in charge”. Triple H has NOT taken over the company. He will eventually take over for Vince but that hasn’t happened yet, reports the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Triple H is basically being ‘groomed’ to take over along with Stephanie McMahon. We noted several months ago that HHH had been learning the “ins and outs” of the company at Titan Towers. He’s also taken more of a ‘management’ role at TV tapings. Monday’s RAW saw Triple H take the reigns from Vince in storyline. yeah i know this was storyline level right now, but its out there now, people know HHH and Stephanie are assuming the controls. this could be a huge and lengthy storyline that could dovetail with CM Punk's storyline. hopefully it isnt rushed. i somewhat disagree with critic that last night was bad coming off the CM Punk match. this story needs to be told correctly, i think last night was the beginning of chapter 1

QUOTE (The Critic @ Jul 19, 2011 -> 06:26 PM) Don't you mean "sports entertainment heaven"?? i seriously considered saying he would be going to Harts Dungeon, but thought i would be nice

Vince is 65 years old, Im sure this has been in the works for quite some time and he just wants to step back and be the small part time megalomaniac character and just bounce from island to island until he goes to the great wrestling heaven in the sky

john harbaugh goes on waddle and silvy and is still complaining about the draft day non-trade between the bears and ravens. someone correct me if i am wrong, didnt the ravens do the same thing to the vikings?

Doc looked really bad, just totally off. I was pretty surprised to see his numbers when the temp is 90 degrees and higher, his era goes a full run higher

Do it. Do it

this will be an interesting power structure if they keep vince off tv for a while

i interpreted that to mean that pittsburgh was looking at the Royals since he was talking about Francouer and Cabrera being moved, earlier tonite

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 03:59 PM) But that's the thing....if all the behind the scenes s*** was real, he wouldn't have won the match. If he was leaving the WWE, he wouldn't have won the belt last night so it's all just a storyline. If it was real it'd be cool I agree, but the fact that he won the belt means it's all just a part of the story. In case you havent noticed, all of us in this thread know it is fake. WWE Wrestling is a shoot industry and always has been. We want quality storylines, quality promos, and quality wrestling/performances. All three of these areas have been noticeably lacking in the past 10 or so years with an exception here and there(most of HBKs big works, Rock coming back, Flairs retirement). Punk got our attention, and has kept our attention for the better part of a month now, which is actually quite a while in the WWE nowadays. There was real elements to the story, Punk has been very vocal about being unhappy with his character development, and frankly he said some stuff a few weeks ago that could have gotten most WWE wrestlers fired on the spot. Vince (smartly) noticed that it gained a lot of steam and a lot of attention, and capitalized on pretty much every bit of it. And we all loved it. So, coming in here and saying "You know its all part of the story, right?" is kind of like going into the TV thread and saying "you know that Seinfeld show wasnt real, right?". Of course we know. It is a show, it is entertainment, and even though a lot of us have sworn we wont be sucked back in(Brian cough cough), we arent going anywhere

QUOTE (The Critic @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 02:05 PM) Cena was right when he said people will be talking about this for years, but he has very little to do with it other than being the right "hated face" for Punk to vanquish. He's been a passenger - Punk's driving this car. I read that after the PPV went off the air, Vince waited around for Johnny Ace to be helped up the ramp, then decked him with (reportedly) a very stiff right and walked out. Even THAT is very satisfying. So far, there is nothing to complain about with the way creative has handled this. Oh, and that video of Punk and Cena's entrances was hilarious! That pop made him seem like Punk Hogan! when they zoomed on Punks face you could tell he was almost overwhelmed. He was super pumped up, and he usually enters with that "devil may care" look on his face

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 11:34 AM) They also picked Manny up too late as I recall. Wasn't it 1-2 series too late? We faceplanted before his arrival as I recall He was on the DL, it didnt matter. We would have faceplanted with or without him

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 11:28 AM) I mean during the season I guess. Manny is not a significant addition. Why not tweak before it's too late? This lineup is anemic and time is running short. Free Dayan at least. Manny was SUPPOSED to be a significant addition. obviously minus the roids, he was not, but that doesnt mean the Sox were just picking up someone who was supposed to be a bench player. And still, during the season KW has tinkered plenty. Maybe not this season(yet), but he has done plenty of things during the season.

Amazing match. Had a little bit of montreal screwjob, a little bit of Edge cashing his MITB vs Cena, it was a long yet interesting match, and the crowd was just insane

The pop that Punk got and the heat that Cena got during their intros was unreal

could you imagine the gamethread meltdown if Marmol walked the bases loaded on 13 pitches, then turned a 3-0 game into a 6-3 loss? It would be epic. Greg would be epic too

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 17, 2011 -> 09:28 AM) •According to executives polled by Sherman, only the Giants and Tigers could afford to take on all of Carlos Beltran's remaining salary, among potentially interested clubs. If the Mets paid most or all of the cost, teams like the Indians, Diamondbacks, Pirates, Red Sox, Phillies, and Braves would all be in play. •Beltran is on the Angels' radar as well... That would give the Indians an outfield of Brantley, Sizemore, Choo and Beltran. With the Tigers, Boesch, Austin Jackson and Ordonez/Beltran. Beltran could also take AB's away from an ailing Austin Jackson, theoretically, and play CF. except Choo is out until September at the earliest with a broken thumb

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 17, 2011 -> 11:02 AM) Am I the only one who wants to keep EJAX? Yesterdays start aside, the guy has nasty stuff. Sure he sucks sometimes, so does everyone on the staff. The sox lack a true ace. If Boras wasnt his agent, I would be all about trying to keep him. However, Boras is going to take him to the open market and attempt to get him paid next season. The White Sox do not compete on the open market with Boras clients, they never have. So at this point, it is about getting something of value from him as opposed to letting him walk and hopefully getting a decent draft pick. But then again, draft picks havent been much of a boon for the White Sox, with a few exceptions here and there

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 17, 2011 -> 09:56 AM) The fielding percentage is surprising, considering we have Pierre and Teahen on the team. A.J.'s no defensive wizard either. I thought aside from throwing, AJ was supposed to be one of the better defensive catchers in the game.

QUOTE (The Baconator @ Jul 17, 2011 -> 12:40 AM) I honestly can't tell if that was an off-handed dig or not, and excuse me if I thought it was and I'm incorrect. I'm just a big fan of films that force me to stretch my imagination. I love movies like City of Lost Children and Pan's Labyrinth (as an easy one). Even just that quick bit in It's Kind of a Funny Story where the perspective flies through the city that the main character drew in his art class - love it. True escapism in a film. Not at all, I like the movie as well. I throw a lot of different movies from my childhood at my daughter(she is 10, 11 in September) and she usually likes the stuff I liked, we just watched "A Princess Bride" together for the first time and she was really into it. I am a big fan of anything Henson, and some of the darker Henson works like Mirrormask and The Dark Crystal are my favorites. Have you watched Imaginarium yet? Tom Waits is pretty awesome. I still cant decide if Lily Cole is hot. Her body is amazing, her face looks like a porcelain doll
