> [@LawMonkey](#): > > You know what doesn’t have to remind people every week that it’s a message board? The Straight Dope Message Board. They used kendo sticks and interference and chairs and stuff…I wish they would have said if the match was a no disqualification match > [@Smapti](#): > > The important question is, did Roman look strong? I mean…he superman punched 2 guys at once, so he looked okay there… I didn’t think this “Giant isn’t a giant” promo was THAT bad, it made a point because Big Show ALWAYS says how much of a giant he is. At least he didn’t babble incoherently. I’ve actually noticed over the past couple of weeks that RR has gone into full not-giving-a-shit mode with his promos. He just delivers them and then goes home. Stay tuned later today when I’m bored to tears at work (Fridays are sloooowwww) for my Rumble predictions! ---

You know who didn’t remind everyone he was a knight of the realm in every post? Sir T-Cups. It’s achieved instant meme status. You can’t put that one back in the bottle. ---

Generally they are hit or miss, but this[buzzfeed article](http://www.buzzfeed.com/nicholaswray/its-still-real-to-us#.jbwVAA2Z) really speaks a lot of truth The amount of times that Ms. Cups and I use wrestling lingo in everyday language is absurd ---

You know who reminded everybody that Smapti is a coward, a fascist and an idiot in The BBQ Pit? Smapti, when he pulled their chain for about 20 pages. 🙂 (Not intended as a slur on you, Smapti. I stared in astonishment at the huge number of thin-skinned people wailing on you.) ---

I have no idea what the Roman Reigns promo actually accomplished, but let’s not fool ourselves into thinking it was anything but exactly what Vince wrote for the man. ---

I don’t venture into the pit because it’s not really my thang…but are you telling me that Smapti layed a 20 page pipebomb before anyone knew it was a work? ---

But I never had to tell anyone I was a Smapti! Jokes at my expense aside, I just bought my tickets for two house shows in my area coming up in March (they’ll probably be the same matches at both shows, but screw it, **Daniel Bryan** is gonna be there!) No Usos, Bray, or Mizdow, sadly, since they’re working the other leg of the tour, but Ambrose and BnB are on tap. ---

The marks gave him massive heat for some previous shoots he made. He worked them without really trying. He never broke kayfabe either. ---
