why in the blue hell is Chris Jericho fighting Orton? This is almost as useless as Orton/Kane.

We couldn't have a PPV go by without an Orton match so Bray had his feud taken from him.

How do you have Kane on that board and not put him as one of the red properties?

Also, since I see most colors of the Cena Rainbow there, I humbly request Cena on every property in merch gear that matches the property color, when possible.

The rarity of landing on Boardwalk or Park Place is compounded by a slight overshoot of that plopping you right on Baltic or Club Med. It happens all the time and sucks up the Go money for whoever put hotels there.

Some cards do send you to Go. Though I think it's actually the orange properties that are the ones that you want to buy as you land on them most often due to 7 being the average roll and there being cards that send you to jail.

I wish there was a way to communicate with WWE that my network sub was basically to watch Nitro and follow along with the Attitude Era Podcast because the current product is one of the least interesting periods I can remember. It's like Bigass Moth said, it seems like they are actively antagonistic to their fanbase. I'm just watching out of habit now, and finding things like Henry that are dim lights in the trade wins parity booking nightmare. They ruined Bray, they ruined Cesaro, they are going to ruin Lesnar Sunday, Punk and Bryan and Steph and HHH don't show up anymore.

Basically wrestling is bad and I don't know if even Dean Ambrose can make it good.
That's why NXT is so great, it lacks the ominous aura that executive control is trying to actively poison it.

If you roll a six-sided die, the average roll is (1+2+3+4+5+6)/6, which is 3.5.

2 * 3.5 = 7

I'm honestly pretty sure the optimal strategy in Monopoly is to buy every single property you land on regardless of where on the board it is and then leverage that.

Also, Daniel Bryan surprisingly high on the Monopoly tier list.

If you're playing with the full rules, i.e. auctioning properties that aren't bought and trading between players freely, then yes. If you're playing with common rules, i.e. no auctions and trading only when facing bankruptcy, buy up on the pink/light blue and yellow/green corners.

So German goalkeeper Tim Wiese says he has had an offer from WWE

Bit late on this, but, while I could understand WWE going for Wiese's body, having followed the Bundesliga closely for a long time, and having (had to) listened to plenty of interviews with Wiese, it's safe to say that he is probably full of poo poo as far as a WWE offer goes. Besides, the first 'source' of this was the BILD newspaper, aka the German equivalent of the Daily Mirror and National Enquirer, who for the past few months have tried to push themselves as a more serious information source for wrestling, most articles of which happen to be behind a paywall. So in essence, I suspect this is just a way for BILD to get some subscriptions out of gullible wrestling fans.
