To be objective, Roddy: Hell Comes to Frogtown. They Live, despite being awesome, does not cancel that out.

I just watched The Thing again recently. I'm not a big fan of the horror genre so for me it tops it by a large margin. Not only that but MacReady is the smartest protagonist in horror history.

Now see, this is why this is the best forum on the Internet. Goons praising John Carpenter in a wrestling discussion thread (and that's not meant as a critical comment on the current discussion). It doesn't get any better than that. :c00lbert:

(also, don't let's forget his classic from the 1990s, "In the Mouth of Madness" :v:)

People are also calling him "racist" because he's attacked Jon Jones and Chris Brown, who are both black.

It's not like they're both assholes, it MUST be because they're black!

That, or people say it's sour grapes because they're more successful than him. More successful...than the world champion of the biggest wrestling promotion on earth...

To be fair (as sick as it makes me) Chris Brown probably IS more successful, not Jones though. And either way the notion that Punk loses sleep at night because he's thinking "Oh, if only I was as successful as Chris Brown..." is laughable.

I always like it when a guy gets fired and says they can go back to not being PG, like they walk around in everyday life swearing and making rape jokes. It is pretty funny that he's the second person in less than a week to really let rip on current WWE though.

I have altered my retirement plans. Pray I do not alter them any further.
The worst part about it is that if he'd have kept his mouth shut, he'd probably have been hired back by December. But he just HAD to Tweet about how upset he was, and so while I wouldn't say he'll never get rehired, it won't be for a long time now.

I completely disagree.
AW is not the best wrestler in the world or a very good agent/trainer they've kept around for over 10 years.

He wasn't coming back.

It's WWE, your ability to keep your mouth shut when it comes to your grievences with the company is worth at least as much as your wrestling accumen or your ability to teach Kelly Kelly to run the ropes (just kidding, I loving love Finlay).
