I saw this somewhere, there's a bunch of "easter eggs" in Pixar movies. Did you read about the Pixar Theory? It's pretty mind blowing. The same guy also did a theory about Andy's mom, it's good too, and it makes more sense.

The Heart Break Kid couldn't beat Taker, Triple H couldn't beat Taker, Lesnar has already lost to Taker at Wrestlemania and CM Punk, the longest reigning champion of my era couldn't beat Taker.


I used to watch wrestling back in the early 2000's and I remember the first PPV match I got to watch was No Mercy 2003, where the main event was Brock Lesnar vs the Undertaker in a biker chain match, a theme taken straight from his biker persona back then. Lesnar won.

The year before, The Rock faced The Undertaker and Kurt Angle in a triple threat match and won the championship, only to lose it to Brock Lesnar a few months later, giving him the record for youngest WWE Champion in history (which was previously held by The Rock). That was right before The Rock retired, kind of a shitty way to go, huh? Sounds like a similar thing here.


Seems like beating Taker fits with his character to me, but I haven't watched wrestling since high school. Is he really considered a second-tier wrestler by today's standards? He used to be intimidating as fuck.

Toy Story is full to the brim with stuff like this, like most new Disney films. It's to be expected.

The Undertaker lost.

I am so done with WWE.

It is the worst wrestlemania that has ever been.


Me too, so done with that shit.

He lost to Lesnar at Wrestlemania 30. He looks less scary now, more like weak.

I saw the movie Top Secret recently because i found Airplane amusing, and i must say, I've never laughed so hard at clean humor in my life. It's so ridiculously random that it's hilarious.


It's not random. The husband asked the radio station to prank his wife that way because the husband was chastised for purchasing wwe pay-per-view.

It's not the fact that Taker lost to Brock that's harrowing to me, it's that they didn't treat the storyline/hype with the respect it deserves. From what I can gather, the feud leading up to this was "lesnar f5s taker. so taker chokeslams lesnar. so lesnar f5s him again. now they're enemies." So in hindsight, it appeared like it was just an excuse for another Taker Wins match that no one was expecting. Nevermind for a second that John Cena was RIGHT THERE in the same PPV and that if they had planned this to be his last match then it would've been more satisfying to see that instead.

That's kind of dark, in a realistic way.

Oh he's been beaten for sure, in his lengthy career. Everyone's been beaten.

I was talking about wrestlemania. He was totally undefeated at wrestlemania and it should have stayed that way this year.

Taker is considered one of the greatest if not THE greatest wrestler of all time.

Are you implying that John Cena deserved to break the streak in a million years?

I never said he should WIN.

But a clean streak Taker ending with Cena getting tombstoned is way better than him throwing the towel to an MMA chump

I absolutely agree, or at bare minimum the win should've meant something.

Like wrestling wise how many years does Brock Lesnar really have? What a senselessly wasted chance to pass the torch. Imagine if he had given it to a young talent "Brey Wyatt if I had to choose".
Or at least have it make sense as far as story line goes.

Imagine if Lesnar won by the referee "Accidentally" getting knocked out, then him chimping out on Undertaker with a chair "Just like he did to The Big Show recently, you should look that match up it was brutal." crippling Undertaker with the chair. Then Paul Heyman wakes up the referee and Lesnar gets the win.

Storyline. Someone could rise up and reclaim Undertakers honor.

But no, nope, nuhuh, fuck us, we don't get shit.

It's like every 10 years, Lesnar always screws something up.

Remember Wrestlemania XX against Goldberg?

I started watching WWE back in around 2002-2003. This was around about the time John Cena first became the US Heavyweight champion, and he had that whole feud with Carlito. This would have been before Wrestlemania 21 (in which he won the world heavyweight championship against JBL).

I stopped watching about 4/5 years ago. I would probably still watch it, but I never watch TV anymore.

John Cena was actually admirable when he first started. I just don't like how he has finally settled in not developing his persona because of how successful it has become. Pokemon jokes aside (Cena is trying to learn Tackle but he can only learn FOUR moves), I only started to loathe him around the time he developed the STFU. He was having a feud with Kurt Angle at the time and he was challenged to a Submission Match by him. Everyone knew Cena was done for but then suddenly out of nowhere, he pulls a deus ex and a new move was born! Bullshit.

John Cena is well known for his 4 move-slot syndrome. Which sucks because it's clearly choice. I've seen him use a variety of moves, even a hurricanerana one time, but he simply chooses to not use them. I think it's either sheer lazyness, being too damn muscle bound or a mixture of both. He just doesn't seem to be able to go like he could when his muscle mass was less insane. Which is funny because he's plenty huge normally. Though I doubt he could use his AA on The Big Show if he allowed himself to go slim down to a more natural weight.
The kiddies freaking love their super hero though, which is annoying as fuck. Watching wrestling as a kid wrestlers like Cena always pissed me off, the way he comes out to the ring and stalls us by spewing irrelevant bullshit at us on the mic instead of actually wrestling. Granted he rarely loses to anyone one on the mic "Except for Bray Wyatt, who apparently can destroy anyone on the mic." but at least Bray talks about how he's going to wreck bitches. But people pay for that kind of shit. Not to say Cena hasn't wrestled his fair share, but compared to the wrestlers of WCW or ECW he doesn't quite measure up.

I guess I'm just sick of these older wrestlers getting to continue stagnating in the spotlight year after year, continually burying young talents.

I actually loved the STFU.

Remember this moment from the Edge feud. Edge was awesome btw. Especially when he briefly returns to talk to Cena before the Lesnar fight (randomly found the video yesterday, since I haven't followed it for god knows how long)

So ive been thinking, isnt a gamer mouse great to animate with? all these extra buttons could come in handy for hoykeys to create. F6 insert keyframes. Zoomin in and out. brush hotkey and linetool hotkey all in one hand. Only thing that worries me is that flash doesnt support it.

Edit,

Tried it out with a mouse with two extra buttons but flash does not recognize it as keys. :(
