there's a few problems with today's WWE:

1) the lack of individualism - pretty much everything you see on screen is the product of the same voices sitting around a table in a writing room. back in the day, guy's like the Rock and Steve Austin were given the chance to go out, improvise and be themselves. made for a much more authentic presentation of themselves on camera.
2) the quality of matches - today's stars are probably more athletic but they're much more limited in what moves they can do in the ring. you will rarely see anybody do anything that could potentially result in them bumping their head. hard to take today's style seriously after growing up on the old stuff.
3) the constant push for WWE to be seen as a socially conscious company -- nobody is buying it.

Wrestling hasn't been worth watching since the early ninety's. The moment they started preying on the shallow-minded and desperate people looking for low class bums to relate their lives. Most of it has been borderline pathetic with a few bight moments making it barely tolerable.

They need to bring characters back. Fundamental good guy vs villain storylines. Stop this poor excuse for a soap opera and put something together you can take your kids and have a good time.

I've been salty about wrestling for awhile though...

Anyway, to bring the thread back.... My TFA novel came in today and looking forward to some of the details supposedly left out of the movie. I've heard good things but we'll see in a few days.

What I meant... the early 90's was the end. When WWF(E) lost the Barbershop and Piper's Pit to the Survivor Series and Royal Rumbles, it went downhill really fast. They can say what they want but when the Hulkamania era ran its course they had no idea where to go from there. I think around 92 was probably the last year I enjoyed wrestling.

Oh boy we went from Star Wars nerd-dom to Wrestling nerd-dom. We're going to need larger computer chairs for the competitors.

Partially my fault so i'll go back to my other point. Pick up the novel. Really good in my opinion and is a much more fluid story. If you enjoyed the movie, you'll love the novel. Get the TFA Encyclopedia too. I got it for my son and we read it at night and it actually has a lot of character details. I hate that i've fallen for their marketing and merchandise ploy but oh well. Not like i'm paying for a MMO sub right now.

I need to start using that reasoning.

Wife: why did you spend 600$ on an oculus rift?

Well I am not paying an mmo sub right now...

My wife and I agreed on a "gaming and hobby" budget a long time ago. Works out awesome for me. I can't believe how much money I have to play around with when i'm not playing a MMO in addition to dumping money into games like LoL for skins and crap. I've hardly bought any console games compared to previous years. Gaming is really mediocre right now. I think i've given Nintendo more money than any other gaming company in the last couple of years and that's pretty sad.

IO9 is saying there's a rumour of an Obi-wan Kenobi trilogy set between episode 3 and 4, and that Disney is talking to Ewan Mcgregor to reprise the role.

But they do stress that it's just a rumour.

The word was Disney wanted to do 12 movies at a minimum, which would be two trilogies and a bunch of stand-alones. But at this point I assume they want to troll Lucas with prequels that don't suck.

I would very much like to see McGregor reprise his role. If the story is good, he'll do very well with the character. IF... if... there is a tie in to Rey in the Obi-Wan story, would be cool but not sure if they're going with the Kenobi grandfather angle.

After watching The Long Way Round I kind of hate Ewan McGregor. This has nothing to do with Star Wars obviously.
