I like your new family member DB. Looks a lot like one of Tux's late siblings (named Steel by the person who adopted him). Of his litter from 2001, Tux is the only one left.

Thanks! She's a sweet cat but not super affectionate. When she's up and around she will only play with you. If you try and pet her, she'll dodge out of the way. However, it's only been one week but I sense it may just be part of her personality. If she does let you pet her, if your face gets too close to hers she'll make her escape. At least she'll jump up in your lap and let you pet her when she's tired of playing. Speaking of which, playing with her is very fun, especially with a laser. Shiloh would totally ignore those but Violet goes crazy. Especially if I use two lasers at the same time.

To be honest, I wasn't keen on getting her. I loved Shiloh, but he was not the most affectionate cat and I wanted a younger (around one year), more friendly one. Violet is 4 and she was quite shy. However, I had a cat that was solely my cat and wanted one to be my mom's cat as well since Shiloh treated her as a food dispenser. So I let her decide. Once they told her that Violet's chance of getting adopted being her age and shy nature was really low. My mom took pity on her and we ended up taking her home. I've since warmed up to her because she really is a sweet cat. However, next year once the peak season at Amazon dies down, I want to get Violet a friend which will be more outgoing. This will fulfill my need for a very affectionate cat and will give Violet some company. Luckily, they said Violet gets along with other cats really well. Shiloh hated any other animals (dog or cat).

what in the monkey hell is up with Sting jobbing to a flash in the pan like Seth Rollins?????? He is not even in the same league as Sting. I understand losing to Triple H but not to a rookie like Rollins

It's 2015, Sting can't be the WWE champion. I don't understand why they'd put him in a championship match at a PPV. He'd be much better used in legend vs legend matches, like against Triple H in WrestleMania. No titles needed. That's money. Hardly any promotion needed.

Now he's made to wrestle Seth Rollins, who obviously can't drop the title to a part-timer like Sting.

Anyway, Sting looked hurt bad in the end. Better think hard about retiring. Everyone loves Sting, but no-one wants to see him die in the ring.

Also, no-one wants to see Kane challenge for the title. He is not a legitimate threat, no matter how you build him up. Not anymore. Quite like the Big Show.

This is what could have happened..... Sting beats Rollins (like the dog he is) and then in comes Shaemus cashing in on his MITB maybe a cheap shot then Shaemus has the title, and maybe do the injury thing where Sting is out and it puts Rollins vs Shaemus

I read another article that said the move that hurt sting was the old "put a guy on your shoulders and fall back into the turnbuckle" deal, the "turnbuckle bomb". That's a run of the mill move that's used 3 or 4 times a night no Raw. Now it's possible Rollins botched the move but I think it's more likely that a 56 year old body isn't meant to take that kind of bump.

Also, I was happy with the outcome of the Intercontinental title match. I was sure WWE creative would screw that up.

Actually, he was power bombed into the turnbuckle. Before that, when Sting went through the Spanish announcer's table, his head bounced on a monitor. You can't discount that as a possible cause.

Yeah I think that article in the link I posted mentioned the monitor thing. Again, I'm not sure you can blame Rollins for that either. That's one of the risks you take when you do a spot like that.

I'm no Rollins defender by any means but I just don't think a 56 year old guy should be in there with someone half his age.

I'm glad Paige is back to being a heel. She seemed so fake as a face; I don't know if it's the haughty British accent or what but I think heeling fits her personality better.

Well, my sister's husband says he's given up on wrestling so now the only place in my life to talk about wresting is here. I don't blame him as I don't see it improving anytime soon.

I think Rollins botched the move. He is stiff in the ring and careless at times. He broke Cena's nose and then they made a story line out of his mistake. I like Rollins on the mic but it's time to put the title back on Lesnar. Lesnar just needs to walk out one night and completely destroy Rollins and go home with the title. The end.

YES!!!! unleash the beast

As for Rollins and Sting i think it was both

Just wanted to say that Bob Backlund has a new book out with a foreword by the late Roddy Piper.

I might have to pick that up; if it's about his career I bet that's an interesting read.

From the excerpt I read on sleazeroxx forum he talks a lot about his time as face and heel and particular matchups.

Please, oh please...let this be true...

Watching Raw.

When did Lesnar start wearing sponsors' logos on his shirt during his ring entrance?  He came in tonight wearing a shirt with the Jimmy Johns sub chain logo on his back.  Is this how WWE is helping to defray the cost of his contract>

Actually, he had been a sponsor of theirs since his UFC days.

BTW, that big Madison Square Garden match with the Big Show they hyped up like crazy? It lasted less than five minutes. The most hyped squash match in WWE history. Of course nobody really expected Big Show to be much of a threat. Heck, it wasn't even the main event. That was Cena vs. Rollins for the U.S. Title in a cage (which Cena won of course).

It's especially odd because Lesnar did that commercial for Hardees/Carl's Jr.

If the WWE is smart, they'll let him lay low for 6 months, not acknowledging him at all on TV, and then let him show up at either a PPV or RAW unannounced, pop the crowd, and turn full fledged heel like Hogan did in 1996.

I've been calling for Cena to be a heel for a long time now.  He's getting at least half boos anyway and he has such a hateable face.  I bet I'd really like him as a heel.  He wouldn't even really have to change that much, just cheat more.  The rest of his schtick is so annoying that he could just keep doing it.

Sort of like The New Day.  They really haven't changed much as heels but they sure are much better as heels than they were as faces even though the schtick is pretty much the same.

He's been doing that since he first came back. He had the deal with UFC and wanted to it was part of his deal to come back to WWE in 2012. You can see it on his shirt in his return:

I never paid any attention to New Day before the trombone. Now I think they are hilarious and always wonder what tune he's gonna play this week.

The trombone cracks me up!

He's actually pretty good on it too.  I played trumpet as a kid and my brother played trombone so I know all about "tone" on brass instruments.  Woods isn't just out there using it to make noise; he can actually play it.
