I'm ok with Corbin wanting to be Styles' opponent for an ongoing feud, but I want to see someone race and beat Corbin out there.

According to Dave:

100% scripted except for the part where Roman forgot his lines

They're specifically trying to replicate Cena vs Rock and they don't realize Roman isn't The Rock

Because one Samoan with long hair and muscles and talks like Batista's absent minded brother is so similar to a Samoan with no hair, even more gigantic muscles, and walks around as a walking catchphrase machine with 20 years WWE & movie acting experience and is the highest profile action star in the world.

Totally the same guy...

Can we finally get the US Open Challenge tonight? They kept using it as a bait and switch to keep the Owens feud going. I want a random opponent for a change.

You know what amazes me?

How Owens never falls into the doghouse. Even just for his look, I feel like one day Vince will just go "dammit why is this fat fuck on every show?"

I always think the other shoe is gonna drop on Owens at some point.

It took Vince three years to notice Seth's silly pause in his music. Maybe he'll notice Owens in 2021 and go, "We gave that guy titles all the time?" Seriously, Owens almost never goes a month without a title reign of some sort. The whole U.S. statpadding was a bit much, but 2-3 IC reigns, the Universal, and god knows how many U.S. titles. He's definitely had success.

Guys you realize they're going to try and have Reigns beat Cena to get people on his side, right.

Honestly, the long game here is to have Cena win, Reigns to have some level of self-reflection/character development, then have him beat Cena at a bigger PPV (like the Royal Rumble) and then win the Universal title at WM.

I'm ok with everything except the last part.

"Misguided mortals, you'll burn with me! Spirit of man cannot be freed!" - Black Sabbath, When Death Calls

I looked at the transcribed version of the Cena/Reigns promo, and it's even more barbaric in text.
---

"Misguided mortals, you'll burn with me! Spirit of man cannot be freed!" - Black Sabbath, When Death Calls

Oh....Ohhhh god...ohhh god. Cena just decimated Reigns. I am not sure what they were aiming for or why they went as far as they did, but oh man. The last 2-3 minutes were just an epic destruction. Even earlier lines like, "Go on, look for it. You gotta learn how to do this." were just savage.

"Misguided mortals, you'll burn with me! Spirit of man cannot be freed!" - Black Sabbath, When Death Calls

Ok. I can agree the Vikings have been better than the Lions. That said, Blair Walsh did his best at making that not happen.

Hey; be lucky you even have Stafford; The Vikings overshot for a guy who wouldn't be caught dead as a backup, then found a guy whose draft stock died because of fucking GLOVES...only to suffer horrific career threatening injuries, then spend 1st/4th on a guy who has never even once lived up to potential because of even MORE injuries. That's not even bringing up McNabb, Jackson, Webb, and um...every other non-Favre guy in the past 10 years.

And yet, more success than Stafford

The Vikings or the QBs they selected? Because if you say Christian Ponder is better than Matthew Stafford, I'll have to smack you.

I doubt the odds are that balanced for a team like the Lions

Who was the last good QB the Lions drafted before Stafford?

Y.A. Tittle

Unless you count Joey Harrington, who is a scholar and a saint.

Did they draft that guy who ran out of his own endzone to avoid a sack, causing a safety? That was the most LOLions moment I can remember.

Well, the guy they wanted kept getting shit on...so there is that. And besides; Jeff fucking Hardy. JJ would never live that down if he eliminated Hardy. At least WWE didn't book something that dumb. Hardy doing a suicide diva plancha to eliminate himself but take out the Good Brothers (while also dumb) would have been a very Jeff thing to do if they wanted to protect JJ. Hardy may not even win next week. They could still course correct and give Jordan time with the Butt Brigade while Miz defends the title.

I will laugh so hard if Jordan gets booed over Dallas or Axel...it would be sickeningly disgusting, yet awesome.

ZeroSignal likes to talk. Talk of honor, and how he believes no King nor Champion he faced would ever do what I did to his former partner. Why do you people always question why ask why…when how is so much more fun…

You put yourself in my way, I responded by showing you who I am: a man unafraid of doing what is necessary, what is dangerous, and what I find exhilarating! You act as if being King and Undisputed Champion means I conform to some image or unwritten rules…so droll and so boring. Have you realized that is it because of these actions that this bloodthirsty audience roused from their chairs? I have defied limits, allowing me to reap benefits, and you expect me to stop? I simply exist to provide entertainment, in ways I find fascinating. Besides, this world is going to die, despite all attempts to save it. Why not revel in the chaos just a little while longer?

It’s not my fault you don’t share my dream where all UCA members act according to baser instinct: a motive that drives men to hunt, prey, and kill if need be. Ask CPU and David how I managed to defeat them. I analyzed and abused what they held most precious, brought monsters out of them, and FORCED them fight me with hate in their hearts. They responded by risking life and limb against me in unprecedented ways. Fighting for this championship isn’t enough. Nee was simply a pawn to get your attention. I fight to find out what kind of man is willing to face me. What I want is for you to flay me alive. After all, it’s the same thing I’m going to do you.

This little game of chance ends at Throwback Throwdown. I want you to know that I am very curious what our random stipulation will be. I am versed in taybles, steel, spilling blood, and fighting forever, having outlasted all men to not only be the Last King, but the Ironman of UCA. Pray for your sake the numbers come up in your favor. Let’s give into temptation. Who knows where the Whims of Fate may lead us…

I get to see the Vikings in action tonight. I can't wait to see their "revamped" offensive line continue to be utter garbage. There was a topic on the NFL board about whose O-line would be worst all year. No one picked the Vikings.

...I mean, after last year, how do you NOT pick them? I'll believe improvement if I see it. But the new stadium is more likely to explode.
---

"Misguided mortals, you'll burn with me! Spirit of man cannot be freed!" - Black Sabbath, When Death Calls

Shining in the Darkness is certainly the closest thus far, judging by the visual style. I don't know if it had an RPG battle system though. It definitely felt really close to the game I was looking for.
---

"Misguided mortals, you'll burn with me! Spirit of man cannot be freed!" - Black Sabbath, When Death Calls

For reference

Game 1 - Crime City
Game 2 - Greendog the Beached Surfer Dude
Game 3 - Atomic Robo-Kid
Game 5 - Cyborg Justice
Game 6 - Forgotten Worlds

Game 4 is still TBD. However, everyone else was able to get the other ones, so that was amazing.
---

"Misguided mortals, you'll burn with me! Spirit of man cannot be freed!" - Black Sabbath, When Death Calls

Yeah. That's it. Of course it had to be under a title like that. A beat-em-up/shooter had the same name. I remember always playing this on or borrowing this game from my cousins' computer. No wonder I forgot about these. I was barely 5. Seeing these again, they are average to poor, with some REALLY bad design choices in some spots. I give Cyborg Justice credit. It does let you rip robots' arms and heads off.

If the reports on what Sexy Star did in the Triplemania match are true, then she is an awful person.

She's been causing enough problems as is!

After being booked over Mil Muertes to win the LU title, nothing would surprise me about Sexy Star, and no amount of No Mas matches could help. I thought she retired to practice boxing or MMA. What did she do now?

Yeah; Atomic Robo Kid; that's what it was. That skeleton/bony level was a dead giveaway.

Both that and ESWAT are close, but they aren't it.

"Misguided mortals, you'll burn with me! Spirit of man cannot be freed!" - Black Sabbath, When Death Calls

Forgotten Worlds is a hit - knew it from the boxart
---

"Misguided mortals, you'll burn with me! Spirit of man cannot be freed!" - Black Sabbath, When Death Calls

No. Like the dungeon crawler, it was also a full-screen game. Like there's a still image of the newspaper article about the murder, the morgue scene has the body within the hospital, and you have to click over it to scan it. Full screen kinda layout.
---

"Misguided mortals, you'll burn with me! Spirit of man cannot be freed!" - Black Sabbath, When Death Calls

*Floating eyeballs, blue skeletons, and Spaceball desert people*

Nope...none of that. More grounded, I think. I think the character has to earn money throughout the game for some reason, and it takes time, which is another reason the time mechanic was a bitch.
---

"Misguided mortals, you'll burn with me! Spirit of man cannot be freed!" - Black Sabbath, When Death Calls

Greendog and Cyborg Justice are hits

Shadowgate is similar to the game I'm looking for, but I think there's no huge HUD. I think the visuals take up like 80% of the screen, if not all of it.
---

"Misguided mortals, you'll burn with me! Spirit of man cannot be freed!" - Black Sabbath, When Death Calls

Definitely not Contra. It was like a machine/spaceship/alien fighting stuff of a similar kind in like a bunch of caverns/dark techno looking places.
---

"Misguided mortals, you'll burn with me! Spirit of man cannot be freed!" - Black Sabbath, When Death Calls

I'm normally good at remembering games, but there are like 3-4 whose names escape me for some reason. I'd know them if I saw them, but I don't even know if the descriptions will be that great. I don't think I ever finished them. That is probably why my memory is fuzzy.

Game 1

- late 80s/early 90s PC crime drama game
- Guy is framed for stabbing someone, drowning someone, or driving their car off a bridge
- Game is time limited to like 2-3 days (game has a gray HUD with the timer all the time)
- You keep going to and from the hub screen to select areas throughout the main town while solving the mystery
- point and click sort of game (but I don't think it's quite a puzzle, more of a visual novel)
- I remember visiting a morgue, and a church, and I think a bar

Game 2 - Greendog the Beached Surfer Dude - FOUND

- early/mid 90s console platformer/sidescroller
- tons of beach/ocean/cave levels (Grenada/Jamaica)
- main character is kind of like a surfer Lemming looking thing (at least I think he is)
- I think he can ride on surf or hoverboards or stuff in some levels

Game 3

- early 90s Genesis sidescroller/shooter
- alien looking places everywhere (think Alien meets Mega Man; and freaking dark looking)
- tons of levels/powerups
- I forget if the main character was in a ship or not, but it was all machines

Game 4

- Early Genesis/SNES 1st Person dungeon game
- I think it was more about escaping than fighting monsters
- Castles/DnD/Medieval times setting
- tons of dead ends/labyrinths

Game 5 - Cyborg Justice - FOUND

- Genesis beat-em-up with destructible robots
- Cyber something name? Cyberbots/Cyberfighters
- Bots can be ripped apart and stuff, and I think there was a PVP/Co-Op battle function

Game 6 - Forgotten Worlds - FOUND

- Genesis sidescrolling/shooter game
- Two cops/enforcer types in jetpack things fighting demons or aliens in like 6-8 levels
- I think one of the last stages was a HUGE vertical stage with fire/demons/space aliens
- Maybe the name is similar to Forgotten Warriors/Enforcers/Space Warriors...Forgotten something.

Sorry if my descriptions kind of suck. I know I played these as a kid. Maybe the names/boxart/Youtube clip would get my mind going. I was probably 5-10 when I last played these, and I know I haven't replayed them like most of the games I know. They weren't household names either. I forget if they were even good by today's standards. Any help would be appreciated though. I'd love to go back and see if they were any good at all.

UCA REWIND

Fanning the Flames
ZeroSignal knew he was in for a fight against King Strife for the Undisputed Championship. What he wasn’t expecting was a hellacious assault on a former partner. Strife snuck into a suburban bookstore and caused grievous harm to former UCA Hall of Famer TheKnightofNee at his personal book signing ceremony. ZSig has promised to kick Strife off the throne, but the question as to why the attack happened still remains unanswered.

Don’t Trifle the Stifled
Unhappy with his performance lately, StifledSilence vowed to do something about it. I doubt neither he nor the rest of UCA suspected it would come so quickly. He took the LW Championship Open Challenge and won, stopping XIII’s title reign in the process. He and Solio won a tag match earlier in the night as well.

Taybles Anyone?
LusterSoldier may have become the first Master of Taybles since Strife moved on, but DPOblivion proved adept, quickly swiping the title from him this week. DP has a knack for dangerous, wooden destruction. How far will he go as the new Master of Taybles?
