I tried to step it up, but the image I tried to upload keeps breaking.  I made it my avatar here, and I also put it on facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/THEnickhoffman.



Also, thank you very much Daeva for your hearty chuckles.  Your answers were also competely hysterical, as always.

1)  "I'd like to audition for the Evan Bourne/Sin Cara Tag Team."

2)  "So this is what you meant by 'Package Piledriver'."

3)  "Please, just watch 5 more minutes of Leprechaun: Origins. It means so much to my boy."

I'm in, but I'm coming to the conclusion that I'm not very good at this.

Holy Thread Necromancy, Zubatman!

If anyone wants to battle in Gen V, my Friend Code is 3525 9864 8054.

Any format, and in any tier you want. (Ubers, RU, and LC would take a little longer to set up as I would have to make a team).

1.) So I got to speaking with some wrestling fans that I genuinely respect and we each had a different answer to a particular question. Eventually, we got in to arguments over this question and now I pose it to you all. This question is meant to be very open-ended so I don't mind long winded answers for once... In your opinion, what specific wrestling era is the most influential and why? (I'm looking for persuasive arguments to this question, not passionate ones for once.)

I'm surprised this wasn't said more, but I have to go with the Attitude Era. WWF was up against a wall and needed to adapt or die. This crucial change made them viable in the current market and set them on the path to the dominance they walk today. To not rehash what was said earlier, I want to explore what would have happened if the WWF would not have embraced Attitude. Quite simply, they probably would have gone under. WCW would have acquired the top talent, but if Jericho's book and the Rise and Fall of WCW are any indication they would be squandered. Mismanagement would probably cause WCW to collapse as they did anyway. The void created would present an opprotunity for ECW to rise up, but since two national wrestling companies had failed it would be understandable for any network or hacker to be shy about backing professional wrestling on any national scale. This could signal a return to territories, which wouldn't be bad but it would be the end of American Wrestling as a national entity. That is why I posit that the Attitude Era didn't just save the WWF, but it saved American Wrestling.

Quote
2.) Alternative Wrestling Timeline question! Pick a wrestler from from your chosen era in Part 1 and book a dream match with any active wrestler today and tell me why anyone should care to see it...

While Punk vs. Austin is the no brainer match of the Attitude Era vs Current Era, I need to reach out for a different answer. It's still going to use Punk, as he is the best in the world. His opponent is going to be someone who is very similar to him. Someone with phenomenal technical ability. Someone with extensive submission wrestling knowledge. Someone who can come off the top rope just as easily as Punk. Someone who, like Punk, had to live in the shadow of someone that others deemed was the "best". Punk's opponent would be none other than Owen Hart. This match, besides being a tremendous match up, would be about respect. There wouldn't be animosity between Punk and Owen, like between Punk and Rock, there would be respect. Punk would say that would they should put on the best match of the decade, no of the century, no of all time, so that anyone that had any thoughts that these two performers deserve to be anywhere but at the top can eat a whole buffet of crow.

3.) So at the Adam Crites memorial this past weekend much ado was made about Zeke (who obviously didn't win)... In one match a player I respect very highly likened him to something unstoppable, a veritable "Juggernaut" and that his Superstar card should have Zeke shopped to have him wearing the Juggernaut helmet with a text box screaming "I'm the Juggernaut, female dog!" This popped me huge and I swore to somehow turn this into a question in DoD, so here it is... Everyone that has played Raw Deal has lost a Raw Deal game very badly: got every card reversed, rolled for 50D+, and not able to do a thing about it. I'm not interested in how it happened but I am your interested in your entertaining non-wrestling pop-culture based simile describing the severity of the beating to me after the fact.

Regal vs a very bad RVD deck, very soon after seeing The Dark Knight. After getting rolled, to make a very similar comparison to what had just happened to me my opponent grabs a piece of wood (the shop was being renovated at the time), sets it on the table, and asks "How about a magic trick?"

I would like to take part, though I do bemoan that I couldn't write the rap.

Does anyone use this battle simulator?  I picked it over Pokemon Showdown and absoutely love it.  I have it installed on my external hard drive, and it saved my life during 3 hour breaks inbetween classes at school.

My deepest apologies, my semester is coming to an end and schoolwork piled up. Future submissions will be submitted in a timely manner.


Congratulations to the Commissioner of D, to the Second Degree.

1) WWE has had video games for years, but they've decided that it's about time to go in a new direction.  What type of game is it? What's the title, and the premise?

WWE: On the Stick.  While not a new standalone game, it adds depth to the campaign mode.  Before your matches, you cut a promo (either on your own, or against your opponent).  The promo is a rhythm game (Parappa the Rappa, FTW), with each mistep causing you to flub a part of your promo.  Do a great job, the crowd will be hot for you and the match will be go a bit more in your favor.  Do poorly (making the crowd not care about you), and your match will be that much more difficult.  All the best talkers from all eras would be available, as well as some not great ones for a Hard Mode.

Quote
2) Apparently Wrestlemania was a letdown (I didn't get a chance to watch it, but I've been reading the thread here about it)  You get to change one match, what is it and how do you change it?  If you choose to remove it, what do you replace it with?

I would have changed the Tag Title Match to an Elimination Tag Match with Team Hell No, Dolph and Langston, Usos, Rhodes Scholars,
Tons 'o' Funk, Co-Bro, and the Primetime Players.  More people get the Mania paycheck, fans get Flurry of Finishers, and Ziggler can elminate a few teams to build his credibility.  Hell No can still win, defeating Dolph and Langston again.

3) You get to send a team of up to 5 people to North Korea to talk to Kim Jong Un to try to negotiate a peaceful resolution to what's going on. Who do you choose to send, and why?

CURSE MY SCHEDULE!!!! My answer was taken, but I can come up with another one.  The five manliest men in existence; Christopher Lee, Ron Swanson, Chuck Norris, Mr. T, and Liam Neeson.  They wouldn't even have to utter a word, the sheer force of their awesomeness would cause Kim Jong UN to agree to peace.
11  Everything Else / Professional Wrestling Discussion / Re: Ultimate TCO Dungeon of Doom: The Revival on: April 08, 2013, 09:53:16 PM
My schedule has become rather unpredictable. I'll either have my answers in tomorrow, or by sometime Friday.

Jericho's Flashy LED Jacket
Backstage Card
Once during each of your turns, when you have no face-down cards in your Ring, you may discard 1 card and overturn 1 card and then put 1 non-Superstar-specific card from your Ringside in your Ring face-down.
When you successfully play 1 card with blank text, you may put 1 card from your Ringside on the bottom of your Arsenal and flip 1 card in your Ring face-down.

Ditto what Bubba said.  Also, throwing a maneuver over and over again if they didn't have a reversal to it the first time.  I bolded the portion of the card above to show how you can get a card from Ringside to your Ring face-down, and then proceed to play it (Pending its in your allotted number of face-down plays in the turn).

Essentially, his ability can nullify your opponent's efforts to turn your cards facedown while giving you another set of resources to play cards from.

1) Out of the following list of wrestling entities, pick one to team with, one to manage, and one to turn on.

Bastion Booger
Zack Gowen
Rocky Maivia, Blue Chipper
Mae Young's Son
Braden Walker
Lenny & Lodi

I would team with Bastion Booger, with my name being Malachi Picker, and we would be Picking Boogers.

I would manage Zack Gowen, being an annoying attorney that lobbies for handicappable accommodations to be made everywhere we go.

I would turn on Rocky Maivia, Blue Chipper, claiming to be from the future and trying to stop Doom from ever happening.

Quote
2) Pro Wrestling Mad Libs!

Uh oh! Rocky Maivia went and talked to The Shockmaster.  Now The Shockmaster has hatched a plan!  He's going to plow through your wall made of bearer bonds until you reconsider making parts of your house out of international currency!  Once that happens, they're going to disappoint you in the ring in a Punjabi Prison match!  But wait!  You call upon Jett Jackson as your partner in the match, and they will help you turn the tide by Silverstoning The Shockmaster with a caribou antler until they make better life choices, leaving you all alone to instill paralyzing self doubt into Rocky Maivia!  The crowd goes to get nachos!  Vince no longer wishes to live on this planet anymore as he gives you controlling stake in WWE!

Quote
3) The NFL, today, released several rules changes, including the elimination of the Tuck Rule and the using of helmets as international objects while running.  Now it's your turn to play rules guy.  Pick one of the 4 major American Sports Leagues (MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL) and either add a rule or subtract a rule.  In your answer, explain why you chose that rule, what intended effect you think it will have on the game, and how your players and league alumni will react.

Actual sports are not my forte, but I can definitely give this a shot.  The blackout at the Super Bowl was fun, right?  People love it when unexpected things happen.  What's better than a random blackout?  How about randomly placed land mines in the field?  Not explosive ones, mind you, but ones that would do nothing more but propel the player(s) that step on them up into the air where an old timey fire brigade has to catch them with a trampoline.  Want to help contribute to your team if you happen to step on one of these? A separate panel of judges will compare and score how each player flies through the air and an additional 7 points will be given to the team who had the widely agreed upon best flight.  Lines painted down the length of the field will turn the field into essentially a bingo card for more audience participation, as side betting on which intersections will go off will become a mainstay of the sport.  Players and alumni will be against this at first, until the betting catches on.  Who doesn't love betting?

1) We all know how good managers work, and how bad managers screw it up, so let's go in a totally different direction. Pretend you're a manager and make Big E Langston funny. You can't change his gimmick, it's all on you.

Big E. is, well, a big man. What does a big man need when he gets angry? A punching bag. Our relationship is a big misunderstanding; I think I'm his manager, he thinks I just carry his bags. Everytime I try to speak for him in the ring, he whacks me Three Stooges style and grabs the mic. I try to give interviews to Matt Striker, he shows up and throws me off screen to finish the interview. He loses a match, he gives me a Big Ending. He wins a match, for the hell of it, he gives me a Big Ending. Someone other than Big E. is beating me up, Big E. takes care of them......because only he beats me up. I sell it so slap sticky that everytime I'm seen, the crowd is clamoring for Big E. to put some Stooges hurt on me and carry me out on his shoulders, because who doesn't love laughing at an annoying sidekick's misfortune?

2) The 'E decides to revive the Brawl For All, but with a twist: it's the Raw General Manager Brawl For All, where only former Raw GMs can participate! Break down the last round of the fight, tell us who wins, some highlights of how they got there. Make it good, make it funny!

Wanting to appeal to a more modern demographic, this Brawl for All tournament has been a Mixed Martial Arts fiasco.  After three exhilarating rounds of action the finals have come down to this.....

The Setting: Summerslam
The Opponents: William Regal and Vincent Kennedy McMahon
William's Path: Being a true Villain, William has been sneaking the brass knuckles in a variety of ways.  From sneaking them out of his boot to level Jonathan Coachman (who barely qualified due to only being Mr. McMahon's Executive Assistant), to hiding them in a turnbuckle to KO Shane O'Mac, to having his new protoge Wade Barrett slide them in to him when Mick Foley had him in a grounded headlock.
Vince's Path: Vince had a somewhat....differe nt path.  In interviews these last three weeks, he has denied that he has had anything to due with the pairings.  Vince has employed a very consistent and effective strategy.  Right as the bell rings, he threatens to fire his opponent if they don't surrender immediately.  It has been very effective, as he strolled right through Hornswoggle, Vickie Guerrero, and AJ Lee.

The two make their way to the ring, accompanied by a full posse. For Regal: Wade Barrett, and a returning Paul Burchill and Katie Lea.  For Vince: Shane, Gerry Brisco, and Pat Patterson.  They get introduced, the referee goes over the rules, and the bell rings.  Just like before, Vince tells Regal that if he doesn't submit right now he's fired.  Regal looks despondent, not wanting to lose his job, but not submitting.  Vince gives him to the count of three, still no reaction.  "All right.  William Regal.....YOU'RE FI-" Just then Regal pops him with a huge left hand that renders Vince unconscious.  When the ref checks on Vince, Regal slides something back to Barrett and then goes to help Vince up.  After Shane and the Stooges cart Vince off the to back (flipping Regal the bird as he goes) Regal is declared the winner via first round knockout.

3) You've managed (see what I did there?) to get yourself on the wrong side of a back alley with ECW's chair-swinging freak himself, Balls Mahoney. You've got one sentence to distract him enough for you to get away before you get to see "This is gonna hurt!" up close and personal. What do you do? What DO you do?

I chant:
"Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus, omnis satanica potestas, omnis incursio infernalis adversarii, omnis legio, et secta diabolica,
 Ergo draco maledicte et sectio
 Ergo draco maledicte et legio secta diabolica
 Ut Ecclésiam tuam secúra tibi fácias servire libertáte, te rogámus, audi nos."

When Balls hears that, he stops, and says, "Is that from Supernatu-" before I kick him in his namesake and run the other way.
