Put the belt on Hogan!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.411mania.com/wrestling/news/331879/Triple-H,-The-Rock-and-More-Comment-on-Kevin-Steen-Signing.htm
ReplyDeleteMoreso for the picture than anything.
Came here to say this. Strike while the iron is hot.
ReplyDeleteYou mean to tell me something besides Brie/Steph went on last, and the ratings went UP???!!!!
ReplyDeleteOnce his merch. sales go down a lot, then and only then you'll see the heel change.
ReplyDeleteIIRC, the crowd was begging for Ryback to stomp a mudhole in Cena.
ReplyDeleteIt didnt matter who was face or heel against Cena, the crowd is gonna split regardless.
I said below, that after Mania Ryback had lost a ton of momentum but had people buying him as a threat when programmed with Cena.
They didnt do anything with it and tried to pair him with Heyman but creative thought that was gonna be the fix ala putting an NWO shirt on a talent to get them over. (in his case, re-built)
sadly, it didnt work
Most of the blog doesn't care that much. I bet 99.999% don't care as much as you, so if you don't like what I'm doing, there are plenty of other great options in Scott's Blog of Doom. It won't hurt my feelings at all if you didn't contribute your comments. You've wasted enough of my time for today, so I hope you have a good one.
ReplyDeleteI think Vince's body builder fetish has been well established. The fans basically held the show hostage and really forced there hand with both Punk and Bryan. Plus Punk was easily the best worker on the show at the time of his push.
ReplyDelete" I am going to do what is necessary to get it rectified."
ReplyDeleteHate to break it to you, but you aren't in control of that. Keep this up, and there won't ever be a page break
I saw a match he had against Chris Masters from a month ago and he looked pathetic in the ring. His style was ridiculous and he looked exactly like a bush-league Indy guy
ReplyDeleteThere's NOTHING about his look that is good. At least Steen is heavy all around.
ReplyDeleteDoes AAA have any English commentary? I'd like to check it out but I can't deal with foreign commentary (hence why I can't get into Puro)
ReplyDeleteEveryone has already listed them all at this point so I won't bother. A better question would be how did SNL miss out on this guy?
ReplyDeleteThe thing is is that they are trying to go into more America markets so the slow down from Rey on top wouldn't hurt so much.
ReplyDeleteHe would be there for the name recognition, moreso than the work.
He's got a calling...
ReplyDelete$5 WRESTLING
I rip and I rhyme, I rhyme and I rip, this is the fire that Dylan spits.
ReplyDeleteAt least something would be happening.
ReplyDeleteVery professional.
ReplyDelete"I am going to piss of a bunch of my readers to spite someone who doesn't wear kid gloves with me"
They're going to be having English commentary soon, I believe. They have a deal with an LA Network so even if you're not going to get the show live, I'm sure they'll have it on their website in English broadcast.
ReplyDeleteI don't quite TNA Hogan hate Hogan in the WWE right now, but I pretty much hate him and want him gone from the TV almost the moment he steps through the curtain. It's OVER.
ReplyDeleteNow granted the matches I have seen from Hero is the KoW stuff in ROH when he was at his indy peak.
ReplyDeleteHe was working with better talent than Masters, so it may be a case of working to the level of his opponent.
That makes sense. Basically be their Rock or whatever.
ReplyDeleteI remember him getting a lot of chants in his matches, but most of them were for Goldberg. Feed Me More did catch fire for about five minutes, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteI miss great big fat guys in wrestling from time to time. I bought Gang/Akeem, Bossman, and Bundy all as legit threats as a kid because they were fat.
ReplyDeleteThere are a few high flyers in Mexico like Daga and Fenix that can go. Also, Ultimo Guerrero is awesome and it's a shame that he never got to really have a chance in the U.S. Besides a brief run in TNA
ReplyDeleteExactly.
ReplyDeleteThey already hit the border towns like San Diego/ El Paso where there is a majority Spanish pop. But they have been known to hit Denver as well.
The thing is with Univision and Telemundo they already have the TV, now they just have to make a splash and run the towns the WWE neglect.
It's not in English on El Rey? I don't get cable anymore.
ReplyDeleteOh no. That RAW rating is only going to give encouragement to that guy around here that keeps saying that Hulk Hogan should get the WWE title.....
ReplyDeleteYou're right.....I'll just be professional, ignore you, and move on.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you bro
Might be fun from time to time. Again I have seen limited Lucha, but what I have seen I appreciate their athleticism... but to me it never seemed like they were (kayfabe) trying to hurt one another so I don't totally get it... but it would be nice to have some variety.
ReplyDeleteIt was all Hero. His comebacks looked ridiculous and his style in General was super exaggerated
ReplyDeleteMore professionalism, ignoring your readership. You really do fit in with all of the QOTD posters (except the last guy who started to grow on me before he moved on).
ReplyDeleteThat's cuz they work extremely light to the point where one who is a fan of a stiffer/snug style would laugh at it cuz it doesnt look believable
ReplyDeleteI don't need to have guys legit trying to hurt each other or being dangerous, I just don't know how to suspend disbelief when all they are doing is cartwheels and shit.
ReplyDeleteNeither do I, and I have no idea what El Rey is.
ReplyDeleteNever heard that before.....thats funny!
ReplyDeleteThey had a token Negro comedian by then.
ReplyDeleteThe elaborate arm drag sequences always bothered me as looking ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteIt's a network based out of Los Angeles.
ReplyDeleteThey gay landscaper is classic.
ReplyDeleteI would say go into it with an open mind and like Bayless said Ultimo Guerrero is there. He would be the stiffest I would say.
ReplyDeleteHe is fucking awesome.
Look, brother. Cena is getting that Hogan rub one way or another. Prepare yourself.
ReplyDeleteYeah. Ratings.
ReplyDeleteI'll def. check it out if I can find some with English commentary. I think the only full lucha show I have ever seen was "When World's Collide" or whatever that one with the Art Barr/Eddie tag match was.
ReplyDeleteWhat's Scott's fascination with "dump trucks full of money?"
ReplyDelete(looks in Scott's backyard)
Oh yeah, that's why.
Just like the Undertaker.
ReplyDelete"SEE YOU IN HELL, MOTHERFUCKER!!!"
ReplyDeleteGuerrero came along ten years too late. He would have adapted well in WCW in the 90's
ReplyDeleteMaybe Hogan will need a hip replacement or something. I'm holding out hope. Please take your McDonalds condiment colored ass the hell out of the ring you old fart.
ReplyDeleteYou and Jesse Baker should start a blog.
ReplyDeleteSo how is there a See No Evil 2? Kane's character dies at the end of the first one.
ReplyDeletemore lawsuits against wwe for making misleading financial statements:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.411mania.com/wrestling/news/331927/New-Lawsuit-Announced-Against-WWE-Alleging-False-and-Misleading-Statements.htm
...wait, WHAT?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteAs member #45 of the Latino World Order?
ReplyDeleteNo thanks. Its a grace to God that La Parka and Hector Garza got over after that suckfest
LOL just trying to get him to shut up
ReplyDelete12.5 years ago he got the title and it was a tremendous flop and everybody considered it a huge mistake and a crock to put a title on a guy that old. He was 48 then.
ReplyDeleteRey should be let out of his contract, but only if he agrees that Lucha is really, really silly.
ReplyDeleteSkip sucks. Good riddance.
ReplyDeleteHis moves are dumb (IT'S A SAMOAN DROP); his gear is dumb (how many logos does a guy need to wear?); he's sloppy and unsafe; and his mouth-breather-speak-through-your-teeth-promos are the most irritating thing this side of John Cena's SOUTHIE BOSTONSTRAWNG THIS-TIME-IM-SERIOUS, BRAH-accent.
Yep Yep Yep! Whad-do?
Robert Rodriguez's channel with the Grindhouse voiceover guy doing all the bumpers. It has the From Dusk Till Dawn TV show.
ReplyDelete... Rey was 48 12.5 years ago? I don't think that holds up to math... or were you exaggerating?
ReplyDeleteHogan.
ReplyDelete2000 WON MOTY Atlantis vs. Villano III is on YouTube and legit *****.
ReplyDeleteThat match had it all: drama, great work rate, and one hell of a post match promo.
But... I didn't say anything about Hogan
ReplyDeleteHey please don't hurt me! It's little ole me herpes!
ReplyDeleteI credit Brie/Stephanie for building the audience.
ReplyDeleteMan I'm really hoping for Steen. And I'll echo something that Parallax said earlier, I like when wrestling has guys that look different from each other. I miss far guys that could go. I think it was 7-8 years ago that Punk and Joe did this shoot where they talked about how muscular guys look better when there's guys that aren't put together up against them. If I remember, Punk or Joe pointed to Masters having a gimmick of having the perfect body, but Cena looks as big if not bigger standing next to him, as well as a bunch of other guys. Personally, it works better for me when Hulk is feuding with a OMG or Studd or Bossman who are intimidating in totally different ways that big bodybuilder guy.
ReplyDeleteI replied to LScisco making this one of Disqus's many bugs like where it randomly won't let you make a space in between words when you post from your phone.
ReplyDeleteThe only time Hulk Hogan hasn't pissed me off in the last 15 years was when Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar totally destroyed him and kicked his ass and beat him clean. And I sorta liked the WM30 segment with The Rock and Austin. His major contribution was giving them a botch to riff on.
ReplyDelete"I remember the mainstream media(who usually never do stories on WWE unless it is some scandal or controversy) writing pieces on what a rising star Ryback was
ReplyDeleteat the time."
that never happened
Exactly. Would you fuck with a guy like Bossman or whoever in real life just because they were fat instead of ripped? I doubt it... so therefore it can be booked in such a way that they look credible.
ReplyDeleteCracks me up.
ReplyDeletenever watched chapelle regularly, but i got a kick out of the GTA skit
ReplyDeleteof course rick james, and "does wayne brady have to choke a bitch?"
TJ:....so......There is a documentary on Badstreet USA..the song..a movie about a wrestling song and the WWE has to promote it?
ReplyDeletehope brian/cool trainer bret are reading this thread
ReplyDeletewe have a new feud b/w 'llax and fuj
laugh in, obviously
ReplyDeletei mean, SOCK IT TO ME
I guess he was kind of shoved in there as an emergency replacement for Cena, yep. Had Cena stayed healthy, his push would have probably been more gradual.
ReplyDeleteI read this and tough "Pffft.. 15 years? The nWo had some entertaining stuff..." Then I realized how long ago the nWo was. Goddamnit!
ReplyDeletethey have to promote it as part of a lawsuit. something to do with some other dude involved in the creation or recording of the song, i think
ReplyDeleteI think a guy like Steen, who looks like he's been in a shitload of barfights, looks a lot tougher than some juiced up bodybuilder who would tear 4 muscles if he even tried to take a swing. Scott Steiner is the exception, but he's fucking crazy.
ReplyDeleteHow angry did his sex tape make you?
ReplyDeleteThe same day that Fandango was apparently main event material because a smarky crowd was bored and sang his theme song.
ReplyDeletePretty much spot on.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking as the resident indie apologist ...... yeah no, Hero isn't great. He's a good worker in that he can hold up his end of a big match but his offense is always stupid (here's eleventeen variants of the same move!) And he's never really had a solid character. He's a B minus player at his best.
ReplyDeleteaquaman will be in batman vs. superman
ReplyDeletethat'll put fins in seats
https://twitter.com/THETOMMYDREAMER/status/499575552765091840/photo/1 Christ, years of chair shots to the head AREN'T good for you? Who knew? #MickLooksCraaaaaazyBad
ReplyDeleteI would legit sign up for cable just for that channel if they'd do a cartoon adaptation of Love and Rockets.
ReplyDeleteI would prefer dump trucks full of gold bars. Hans Gruber's brother > Hans Gruber (ok, that is a total lie)
ReplyDeleteI've never been into WWE Mysterio. Didn't hate him or anything, but once he bulked up so much, his flying moves were never the same. In WCW, he was always doing moves that left my jaw hanging, and left me always wanting to see more of him. In WWE, it's always been the most basic flying moves, which he did well, but he didn't stand out to me as a wrestler.
ReplyDeleteSimon Gruber was a genius!
ReplyDeleteAye.
ReplyDeleteYeah but have you ever watched it.... On WEED????
ReplyDelete"Ignoring your readership" lmao, see Parallax is actually doing you a HUGE FAVOR by reading the blog that he was going to read every morning anyway.
ReplyDeleteFuck these people you're doing great.
"Can we see that again, that shit was real funny to me!"
ReplyDeleteASS TITTIES ASS AND TITTIES
Well this whole thing was delightfully embarrassing.
ReplyDelete1: Rick James (The slap bit in the third act still kills me. AW THAT WAS WEEKS AGO MOTHERFUCKER, IM PARTYING!)
ReplyDelete2: Wayne Brady (Aw, shit, it's Wayne Brady, son!)
3: The N***** Family
"You know it's a front, they really-- they sell drugs out of barbershops."
ReplyDelete"..."
Potential future QotD, Darren X: Best Friday the 13th film.
ReplyDeleteThe Fuj brought up Friday the 13th in another thread, but this would be a cool QotD. That or favorite horror movie/monster star.
My favorite is part 2, but the best was part 4: The Final Chapter.
If you watch the uncut Rick James interview on the season 2 DVD, he brings it up, talking about how Charlie list to a five foot singer in high heels
ReplyDelete"Buck Nasty, what can be said about your outfit that hasn't been said about Afghanistan? It looks bombed out and depleted."
ReplyDeleteApparently, Martin Scorcese was a fan of that show and once quoted that line to Chappelle.
ReplyDeleteSo when Paul Mooney came to Cleveland, me and the Mrs went.
ReplyDeleteIt sucked.
He didn't understand his audience and used dated references and I fell asleep and walked out.
in that order.
Seriously he was atrocious.
And this is coming from a fan who has both CDs (Race and the other one)
-Jesus is Black
-Analyzing White America
-Godfather of comedy
Mr. Show, I found Chappelle's Show overrated though still pretty funny. All the Mr Show participants have gone on to do funny things too, unlike Chappelle.
ReplyDeleteKids In The Hall! No, that was Canadian. In Living Color? I know of it cos of Jim Carrey, but have never heard of any sketches from it being memorable.
... Man, America SUCKS for sketch comedy. Many awesome comedians and shows, but for sketches? Woof!
Didn't work.
ReplyDeleteNow you're back-pedaling.
Actually it did work. You only continued talking here because of this post.
ReplyDeleteTroll harder homeboy.
Clayton Bigsby, Reparations, and the Niggar Family. HMs to Prince and the R. Kelly videos.
ReplyDeleteNot from the show, but the whole thing about what white people eat (What the FUCK is juice?) from his stand-up might be the funniest thing I've ever seen.
I got the email from someone else, went to reply and saw all this ridiculousness between you and darren.
ReplyDelete"go pick some cotton."
Get called out... then start back-pedaling.
It wasn't funny. It was quite telling to be honest...
"I got the email from someone else, went to reply and saw all this ridiculousness between you and darren."
ReplyDeleteNice back peddling!
You know I don't play that shit, I'll spend a couple years in Rikers just to prove a point.
ReplyDelete"he was going to read every morning anyway."
ReplyDeletePretty don't have a choice if I come here and it takes up the whole front page.
And as soon as I saw it, I went right back in.
ReplyDeleteGo pick some cotton is funny?
That's the joke?
Because I'm black?
Are you that devoid of actual wit, that you resort to racist remarks to try and shut me up? I was gonna take it stride and let it go but that would be against who I am.
Have I ever attacked you in a racist manner?
"...ugh, n*gga you smell like French fries."
ReplyDeleteSo you are being forced to read it now?
ReplyDeletelol stfu
"And as soon as I saw it, I went right back in."
ReplyDeleteWhatever you say chief. Get called out... then start back-pedaling.
R. Kelly: "How are you gonna make a video about me pissing on little girls?"
ReplyDeleteChappelle; "N*gga how are YOU gonna make a video about pissing on little girls?"
lol NAH.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah you are being forced to see it if the entire thing is n the front page.
Seriously stfu lol.
"go pick some cotton"
ReplyDeleteThat's it.
Back-pedal some more.
LOL this post makes zero sense. You are really fun when you get rattled.
ReplyDeleteI liked the Family Guy parody of the Sam ad better.
ReplyDelete"I'll have a Sam Adams."
"It's 8:30 in the morning, and don't you have an outstanding DUI?"
"Yeah, but I need to get the taste of weed and hooker spit out of my mouth."
"You know what, I'll have a Sam Adams as well."
Real easy...
ReplyDeleteScroll past.
Are you racist and lazy?
Shouldn't have to.
ReplyDeleteAnd no I am neither actually. I just enjoy manipulating folks like you.
"Cocaine is a hell of a drug."
ReplyDeleteRattled?
ReplyDeletenahh... I'm on a break fixing up a .ppt pres, this is breaking up that monotony.
But you will scroll past tomorrow if he doesn't page-break, so who is being manipulated?
ReplyDeleteOr you will click on it and bitch again...lol
Back-pedaling from a racist comment = manipulation.
lol Gotcha.
I love Dave's two comedy specials, so funny. I really like the baby standing alone in the ghetto then the joke comes back around at the very end.
ReplyDeleteYou keep fighting the good fight brother, this blog needs a hero lmao.
ReplyDeleteYes I will bitch again, every day until he does it right.
ReplyDelete"Back-pedaling from a racist comment = manipulation."
LOL that makes no sense. Are you sure you understand what back peddling means?
You are so easy to manipulate it is sad.
The part where he talks about Sesame Street was funny as fuck.
ReplyDeleteYou're an idiot.
ReplyDeletelol... I don't know why I'm even going back and forth someone damn near 40 about something you can not (or will not) comprehend.
Get your broke ass to work.
I know you gotta bus some dishes or something.
"lol... I don't know why I'm even going back and forth someone damn near 40 about something you can not (or will not) comprehend."
ReplyDeleteBecause I manipulated you into it.
WHAAAAT?!!
ReplyDeleteYEAH!!
OKAAAAYYY!!!
"..I got'cha bitch!"
ReplyDeleteMan did that get old quickly though. I remember being in line for WMXX and that would randomly break out in the crowd... it was fun for like 5 minutes... then it got kind of stupid.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.cc.com/video-clips/mlg0y7/chappelle-s-show-the-niggar-family---uncensored
ReplyDeleteFunny fucking shit man.
You're going to have a meltdown aren't you? *grabs popcorn even though I'm currently not allowed to eat it*
ReplyDeleteIt's not even really that funny, but I'll always have a soft spot for the "Blackzilla" sketch because I lost my virginity with that on in the background. To a black girl, actually. That makes me part black, right?
ReplyDelete...da powder blue FUCK is going on between Parallax and Fuj below?
ReplyDeleteI was always surprised that at the height of Lil' Jon saying "WHAT?!?!" he was never a guest host on WWE RAW just so he could go back and forth with Steve Austin.
ReplyDeleteLOL it never occurred to me but you are right... I mean it was RIGHT there.
ReplyDeleteOil and water
ReplyDeleteLeaving money on the table.
ReplyDeleteFor real.
ReplyDelete"Do you remember why you did it?"
ReplyDelete"Because he could buy another one!"
Absolutely not
ReplyDeleteThanks, dude
ReplyDeleteLmao.....just don't expect me to wear my Fruity Pebbles T-Shirt
ReplyDeleteYeah that would have been awesome
ReplyDeleteKind of Hit or Miss.....he bombed on Arsenio a couple months ago
ReplyDeleteI like the first Friday with Ice Cube and Chris Tucker.
ReplyDeleteI wont take credit for that, it was a good back and forth using wrestling refs.
ReplyDeletePersonally I like 3 just because nobody is safe in that movie. I think he kills like 11 people in that one.
Basically 1-6 get my nod. Everything after that is meh
