BOD Daily Round-Up (4/10/13)

So after a hiatus, the Daily Round-Up is back.

First and foremost, thank you to those that have asked about the Daily Round-Up's whereabouts. It's mainly because of that that i've decided to restart this feature.

Secondly, as Scott mentioned on his 'Facebook of Doom' post, BOD now has a Facebook page, where you can still get your BOD updates when you're on Facebook, which many of you probably check more regularly than the blog itself.

Scott and I have also discussed the idea of posting tidbits on the Facebook page which may not necessarily make it on to the blog (you have a lot more freedom on Facebook as far as images/tidbits go).

So, with that being said, I suggest giving the Facebook page a 'Like' and joining in the discussion, and accessing content that is EXCLUSIVE to Facebook.com users!!! (The Cole in my head is taking over..)

Comment of the Day 
Worst_in_the_World is a walking continent of common sense:

I wonder if Sunday was it for The Rock and WWE, at least for a loooong while. The crowd support for Rock hasn't exactly been through the roof in his latest run, and on Sunday it was pretty non-existant. I mean, Rock had to notice getting pretty much no heat during his big main event—in the sense that as the questioner stated, all the heat was on Cena. Basically Rock was getting the exact reaction that anyone else on the roster would get standing across from Cena.
And it can't be ignored that the whole "passing the torch" moment wipes away a huge amount of Rock's cool factor with the fans. He came in as the bad-ass Cena destroyer, and ended up a member of the Cenation. That changes things for a lot of his fans, and there's no doubt the crowd on Monday would have treated him WAY differently then he's been treated since his return.
Therefore, I'm betting we don't see Rock in the ring again. He got his return pops, made a shitload of money for himself and the company, and put over the guy he wanted to put over. Anything past this point is just a needless risk, in terms of major injuries AND having the fanbase publicly turn on him, both of which could affect his real career.
Lastly... I know their MAIN goal was to make a shitload of money on his return, and on the Mania buyrates they certainly did. But you have to assume that their second goal of the whole Rock-Cena feud was to get Cena over more, and, well, I can't see how that was a success in any way. Giant Rock endorsement later and Cena is in the EXACT same position with the fanbase he was 2 years ago. Can't imagine that was their hope.

On This Day...
Paul Bearer is born. Bearer would pass away only recently, and be remembered as the Undertaker's long-time manager, as well as Mankind, and Kane. He would be remembered in the Undertaker/CM Punk angle leading up to this year's Wrestlemania. Below is one of my favourite Bearer/Taker moments - his 2004 return as the Dead Man. (1954)

  1. To be honest, as a long time reader first time poster, I did not miss this at all. I thought the BOD round up was more of a nuisance than anything else. It felt like these daily rounds up were clogging up the blog everyday with meaningless news stories. That just my opinion.

    ReplyDelete
  2. I assume this was a troll. Try to be more amusing or over the top next time. If you're not ready to work a BoD Main Event Posting Style, then you're going to get jobbed out to The Fuj and sent back to post on the indy blogs.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Not really, the daily round-up was just a great place to BS in limited characters about the general news of the day. As Kyle said, it was more about the comment section than the "meaningless news stories" which spawn the conversation topics.

  9. Again, your opinion differs? Troll!

  10. Encouraging discussion to migrate to FB is a baaad idea. What about the people who don't use or conform to the irrelevancy of social networking?

    ReplyDelete
  11. The blog's staying put, guys. I totally get it.

    What i'm saying is, there might be some BONUS stuff on the Facebook page, and there's many here (and of course, many who don't) who use Facebook. It just means they can keep up to date with the blog through Facebook if they'd like to.

  20. Grumpy Old Man: I'm oooooold! And I'm not happy! And I don't like things now compared to the way they used to be. All this progress -- phooey! In my day, we didn't have these cash machines that would give you money when you needed it. There was only one bank in each state -- it was open only one hour a year. And you'd get in line, seventeen miles long, and the line became an angry mob of people -- fornicators and thieves, mutant children and circus freaks -- and you waited for years and by the time you got to the teller, you were senile and arthritic and you couldn't remember your own name. You were born, got in line, and ya died! And that's the way it was and we liked it!

    Life was simpler then. There wasn't all this concern about hy-giene! It my days, we didn't have Kleenex. When you turned seventeen, you were given the family handkerchief. ... It hadn't been washed in generations and it stood on its own ... filled with diseases and swarmin' with flies. ... If you tried to blow your nose, you'd get an infection and your head would swell up and turn green and children would burst into tears at the sight o' ya! And that's the way it was and we liked it!

    Life was a carnival! We entertained ourselves! We didn't need moooovin' pitchurrrres. In my day, there was only one show in town -- it was called "Stare at the sun!" ... That's right! You'd sit in the middle of an open field and stare up at the sun till your eyeballs burst into flames! And you thought, "Oh, no! Maybe I shouldn't've stared directly into the burning sun with my eyes wide open." But it was too late! Your head was on fire and people were roastin' chickens over it. ... And that's the way it was and we liked it!

    Progress?! Flobble-de-flee! In my day, when we were angry and frustrated, we just said, "Flobble-de-flee!" 'cause we were idiots and we didn't know what else to say! Just a bunch o' illiterate Cro-Magnons, blowin' on crusty handkerchiefs, waitin' in lines for our head to burst into flame and that's the way it was and we liked it!

  23. Can i ask why its a bad idea? the blog is not closing down... simply being replicated on FB for people who use it a lot..

    ReplyDelete
  24. You'd have to ask the fellas downvoting everything I say like mad :)

    This is exactly what's happening. The Blog isn't going ANYWHERE.

    It's just a case of, if you want easier access to the blog (if you're a regular Facebook user, which, statistically many people in the world are) and want a cherry on top, then 'Like' the page.

    No one's forcing anyone. It's just optional, guys.

  28. Thing is, I do get it. Some people don't want their info out there, and that's cool.

    I'm not even a Facebook 'lover' as it were, but force of habit means I use the app on my phone quite a lot, and I know many are the same.

    ReplyDelete
  29. No, I get it, too. Working at a newspaper, I was forced to get up on all the social media stuff (Facebook, Twitter, one of my reporters is pushing Instagram, whatever that is...) and I'm sure I wouldn't be as into all that jazz if not for my job.

  38. i hate to co-sign this if he is a troll, but i agree with him.

    But i have told Selby this before, offline.

    The BoD Round-Up, while makes SOME interesting convo, only serves as who can "make the smarkiest/funniest comment of the day". So it really highlights the more funnier posters of the blog as opposed to the more intelligible posters like Kyle/Charlie Owens/Weyer etc.



    Not saying they aint funny, but when i think of the laughs, i think of Jef Vinson/Cult/Chan/Dougie/TenGermans/YJ2 (kinda)

  45. Yep, and I respected you for taking the time to talk to me personally about it.

    You'll find though, I won't just do the 'funniest' thing I see as COTD.

    It's simple a comment I see that I feel deserves exposure, be it funny, entertaining, informative, whatever.

    But everyone's got their opinions, and it's all cool.

  47. Glad to see this is back. It's a lot of effort, honestly, so good on Dan for being willing to do it.

    As for those who don't like it; I'm sorry that Dan has kidnapped your family and forced you to click and read the round-up everyday, but that's the way it goes sometimes.

  53. I always felt like friends, work, and family were three totally separate entities and should be left as such. Having them all under the FB umbrella is actually kind of scary. Toss is the fact that I don't give a shit what people from high school are doing and a nosey wife, that equals no FB for me, thank you.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Still love this feature, totally don't blame you for making it less than "daily" man.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Social media is kind of weird I think, I'm shocked by how many people freely give away their locations and businesses they use and announce to the world that their home will be empty for two weeks while they're in Tahiti. Remember when people would buy little timers to fake your lights turning on so it always looked like someone was home when you went on vacation...? Now you announce it globally, it's fucking weird.



    Then after dipshit in Colorado shot up that theater the media went on that crusade screaming that not having a Facebook or a Twitter could be a "sign" of impending murderous rampage...it was just more reason to never start one I thought.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Four Lions is one of the fucking funniest things I've ever seen. A movie you never could've gotten away with making over here. I believe it's still on Netflix.

  63. About a year after I started using Facebook, aunts and uncles started friend requesting me and just this past year, my 75-year-old mother signed up so she could see photos of my sister's new daughter.


    I used to be able to have some fun on Facebook. That ability is a little impeded by worrying about what my mom would say...

  64. Scream09_HartKillerApril 10, 2013 at 10:59 AM

    Due to a family illness and wedding, I'm in town visiting my parents for a couple of weeks, while the girlfriend is at home. My parents had a bitter divorce a couple of years ago. Last night I tried to update my status simply to say I'm eating pizza and watching hockey....

    But I had to block it from my fathers side of the family because it was my step-sisters birthday and I didn't write on her wall to wish her happy birthday and was going to play the "I wasn't on facebook that day" card.The reason I didn't want to write on her wall is because it might come up on my friends newsfeed that I did, and if someone, such as my girlfriend, clicked on her profile and happened to look at her pictures they'd fine one of me with a hot young thing sitting on my lap - which was totally friendly and just for fun flirty but it wouldn't look that was to a jealous girlfriend....I rejected the photo tag for the obvious reason, but also because it leads to another album which my friends, including my mother, could see, which is my father's recent re-marriage. If my mother sees photos of me standing happily with my dad and his new wife, now I have a problem with her...

    So after doing all the proper blocking, I update my status, and within minutes a female friend from high school "liked" it. She also "liked" my last two photos and commented on a status that I should go out with her and her friends some night - which to my girlfriend would mean I'm fucking her, no questions asked. (I'm not)....so I use facebook tricks to delete the "like" and block the status from the high school friend, and in truth only update my status with such mundane details so my girlfriend knows what I'm up to when I'm here....when an hour later another girl who I hooked up with 4 years ago with a slutty name "liked it". I deleted it and gave up.


    Facebook is more trouble than it's worth these days.

    ReplyDelete
  65. With all due respect man, that just sounds like your girlfriend's a bit paranoid.

    I've had a three year long distance relationship and we both use Facebook, and it hasn't caused an issue.

    Oh she is, but she's just one of those people who take facebook to be serious business. At this point it's just something I use because it's become routine and I'm usually posting things expecting maybe 5 people on my list to care. But some people like to over analyze it.

  75. I actually thought the powder stuff was a move by HHH to put something on his body so Brock couldn't grab onto him with submission attempts (he is Cerebral Assassin, after all). They did a cut-away to a vexed-looking Brock as he came down to the ring and it fit a little.

  79. The Rock is definitely done, and it has more to do with the fact that this latest injury has pretty much screwed up the shooting schedule for that Hercules movie he was starring. His agents aren't going to let him wrestle anymore when that has a chance of happening again and costing him and his agents more money.

  86. This is why you don't friend family on facebook. Or only friend the ones who will leave you the hell alone and not judge you on your posts.

    People always look at me funny when they realize I don't friend people in my local town and prefer to use Facebook to meet new people or to socialize exclusively with my internet friends who I never meet in real life.
