BoD Wednesday Night Thread

TNA Impact is tonight at 9pm. Matches include:

Havok vs. Gail Kim for the TNA Knockouts Title
Mr. Anderson vs. MVP

Plus, Austin Aries will announce which title he will challenge for as the winner of last week's "Gold Rush" tournament.


Also, the NL Wild Card game is tonight with the San Francisco Giants trotting out their ace Madison Bumgarner in Pittsburgh to face the Pirates and Edison Volquez. That game starts at 8:07pm EST on ESPN.

In the NBA, ESPN's Kevin Arnovitz reported that in order to save time, a few league officials have discussed taking away a free throw and instead giving a player one shot worth two points and that would change to three points if they got followed while committing a three-point shot. You can read about that in the link below.

  9. TNA is getting the D? Oh my.

    ReplyDelete
  10. That's fucking stupid. Do something to change the late game timeout set up or if they really do sell jersey space like in Europe then ditch a commercial break. Awful idea nba

    ReplyDelete
  11. Does ajpw still exist?

    ReplyDelete
  12. TNA is gonna DIE.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Ahem, but it's dying along NOAH. Meanwhile Dragon Gate and DDT are taking over their spots.

    ReplyDelete
  14. So lashley is still the champ on TV?

  15. I always liked NJPW much better I'm glad they won out

    ReplyDelete
  16. Question:


    A music perfect for having sex?


    Rocket Queen- Guns n' Roses.

    ReplyDelete
  17. @ Kid & Spud, did either of you see the link I posted to the translated Minoru Suzuki interview yesterday? I can repost it if you didn't.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Watching Unforgiven '98 on the Network. After the team of Faarooq, Shamrock and Blackman beat The Nation in the opener, there's an obvious edit and the show jumps right to Stone Cold's entrance for a promo. There's only like 2-second gap between Faarooq's post-match interview at ringside and Stone Cold's music, so I know the Network cut something out. Anybody remember what it was?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Years ago they where dying, NOAH had KENTA in their plate but never gave him the right push. AJPW was holding it's legs with Mutoh as the boss.

    ReplyDelete
  20. This Giants/Pirates game following the Royals/A's game from last night is like Triple H/Orton trying to follow Michaels/Taker at Mania 25.

  22. I've always hated listening to music during sex but my gf has basically a sex mix tape and I laugh anytime I hear songs the in regular time. Lots of black keys and other bands I don't know.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I'm doing my mix, so I can do this with my girlfriend, she's really a rock 'n roll fan.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I was praying all day for the giants charter to crash so obviously there is no god.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Let's at least hope the right team wins this game.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Black keys seems to be work. I wish I knew the other bands. I only listen to rap music, and mostly rap music from 92-04

    ReplyDelete
  27. I'm getting into N.W.A.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I didn't saw.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I'm with you on that. I don't see the point unless there's roommates and you don't want them to hear the sex going on.

  30. Evening, Mike.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Giants win the world series. 99.8% of the bay area celebrates. Oakland A's move to Vegas and everyone thinks its an expansion. I grow to hate the country even more

    ReplyDelete
  34. Totally. If you gotta cover up some noise, cool. But as a mood setting shit IMO its corny, but I'm not big on drawn out love making with all the bells and whistles. I like to fuck and move on with the day

    ReplyDelete
  35. Evening buddy

    ReplyDelete
  36. Thanks for the advice last week.

  38. BTW dude, that's kinda gay that you're making a sex mix tape for your gf. Come on dude, you're not even an American. Don't be such a pussy

  39. Fantasy booking mode- ACTIVATE


    Here's what I would do with the Wyatt family.

  40. I thought about betting money on the giants so I could buy a loss or at least get some cash for my !misery but I've been such a hater today I couldn't even do that

    Anyone see the guidelines laid out for a possible quicker pace for the baseballs next season?

  44. You guys remember a show WWE had called "From the Vault"? They'd talk about a classic match and then show it. I have fond memories of that show because it was the first time I saw Shawn/Mankind from Mind Games and it was amazing.

    *sigh*


    Yes.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Fascinating in its simplicity.

    ReplyDelete
  51. You're welcome. It's going well I assume?

    ReplyDelete
  52. Not sure why. Longer games = greater beer sales.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Was it a roundtable show or a talking head show with buildup like the Wrestlemania one on the Network?

    ReplyDelete
  54. Virgil's Gimmick TableOctober 1, 2014 at 6:21 PM

    Remember when MVP and Kennedy were being proclaimed future WWE champions?

    ReplyDelete
  55. Stranger in the AlpsOctober 1, 2014 at 6:21 PM

    Limiting non-pitching change visits to three a game. Hitter's have to leave one foot in the batter's box throughout the at-bat unless there's a wild pitch/passed ball/foul ball. NO PITCH INTENTIONAL WALKS.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Talking head show like the one on the network. I remember it airing around the same time as WWE Confidential.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Also, the theme music of Meng.

    ReplyDelete
  58. So you'd just say, "We're walking him" and the guy takes his base? I can get with that.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Feuding with the Brothers of Destruction. I for sure thought MVP was a future champ. Never saw that in Kennedy.

    ReplyDelete
  60. MVP had a decent enough career. Fuck Kennedy.

    ReplyDelete
  61. So now that you've had a day to recover I can properly Lorde this over you

  62. Unforgiven '98: Owen Hart is in the ring, Chyna is "hanging on for her life" from a cage suspended above the ring. Kinda eerie.

  65. Fantasy booking mode time:


    So, Bray beats Cena at WM XXX clean, Cena asks for a rematch at extreme rules and gets it. Bray beats him again. Bray says he just exposed the hero as only a man, but his goal is not over. He now wants to chase the one who made him "The machine", aka The corporate sphere.


    Bray and his goons start taking new members saying he's ready for the war, meanwhile Bryan vacates the title due his injury. At MITB the Harper and Rowan win the tag belts, Bray goes to the WWE title match but loses to Cena. Bray then challenges Cena at SS, saying it's time for his plan to come true, he beats John in a LMS and takes the title hostage. For months, all the faces try to beat him, The authority tries to beat him too but nothing can break The Wyatts, HHH then is forced to make a deal with the only man that has come close to beat Bray, Daniel Bryan. Bryan returns and challenges Bray at WM XXXI and takes the title away from the Wyatts.


    I know, it's shitty booking.

    ReplyDelete
  66. They stop selling beer at Petco after the stretch! Even if the game goes extra innings. I always bring a flask in case

    ReplyDelete
  67. Hmmm...can't remember, especially from that time period. I wouldn't mind seeing WWE Confidential get rebooted on the Network.

    ReplyDelete
  68. I hate the idea of no pitch intentional walks. If only because you have that rare one that the pitcher doesn't quite locate and the batter swings at a pitch and pokes into the opposite field for a double.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Virgil's Gimmick TableOctober 1, 2014 at 6:24 PM

    I thought MVP had all the tools. He was becoming one of my favorites when he left. Kennedy, however, always came across as a wannabe Rock. He was on Miz levels of hatred from me back then.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Yeah MVP had what I'd call a worthwhile WWE career. Long reigning US champ and a memorable feud with Matt Hardy. There seemed to be potential for more though.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Aham, I'm still bff with Isis and Anna says she loves me.

    ReplyDelete
  72. If there's one sport that needs a massive cutdown on time, it's NASCAR. They should consider drastic changes, like cutting the races by one-third and greatly reducing the schedule. The sport is just ready-made for fan burnout.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Stranger in the AlpsOctober 1, 2014 at 6:25 PM

    I remember one time in the Mike Greenwell days that he was being intentionally walked, and swung at one that got close....but he fouled it off. It was the only time I personally saw that.

    ReplyDelete
  74. So during Night Of Champions, they made it seem like they broke into the stream with a BREAKING NEWS report about the Reigns injury. Is this true?

    ReplyDelete
  75. I'd like to shove George Brett's pine tar covered bat up her shitty little cunt!

    ReplyDelete
  76. Sorry, I'm straight.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Also: HHH-Jericho following Rock-Hogan at Wrestlemania X8.

    Poor Triple H. Always having to follow matches that steal the show.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Gunther the Nasty LoserOctober 1, 2014 at 6:26 PM

    No, it was something they showed the day before or whatever day it was. By the time the PPV aired, it was already reported

    ReplyDelete
  79. Stranger in the AlpsOctober 1, 2014 at 6:26 PM

    But I'm glad to see you pulled through intact.

    ReplyDelete
  80. He was a top level talker, but an average worker. He got as far as he could in WWE. He had a decent run in Japan, too. He's worked at several Wrestlemanias & several Tokyo Dome shows. Plus he didn't get into the business till late because of jail. He made out better than most.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Gunther the Nasty LoserOctober 1, 2014 at 6:27 PM

    I liked his feud with Matt Hardy, It was fun.

    ReplyDelete
  82. She likes doing it with music.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Wasn't there a scene in "Mr. Baseball" when Tom Selleck turned his bat around and got a hit during an intentional walk with the handle?

    ReplyDelete
  84. He had a monster push as IC champ in japan.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Jesus this bitch was born the year I graduated high school

    ReplyDelete
  86. Stranger in the AlpsOctober 1, 2014 at 6:27 PM

    Pablo Sandoval can have a shitty season, but seems to turn it on in the postseason.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Miggy Cabrera in 2006 hit a pitch that was supposed to be a part of intentional walk and it ended up being the go-ahead RBI in the 10th inning.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Yeah, that poor fellow. He never could catch a break in the wrestling biz!

    ReplyDelete
  89. Cops- the tv show where minorities get assaulted.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Carmelo claims the he's the most underrated superstar. Ughhhhh

    ReplyDelete
  91. That losing streak gimmick he had pretty much killed his main event potential, though.

    ReplyDelete
  92. I wasn't watching during MVP's time but how did anyone think he'd be a top-level guy in those onesies? He looked like an extra from You Got Served.

    ReplyDelete
  93. If they want to increase interest in NASCAR they should book more some races on proper circuits with proper corners and not just ovals every week.

    ReplyDelete
  94. For whatever reason I ended up the fan of loser sports teams. I know the deal. But last place seasons are easier to eat then playoff heartbreak.

    Still I've been through this plenty of times. The hardest loss ever for me was game 5 agaisnt the jazz in the 07 NBA playoffs but the A's ones are always pretty ruthless too. I'm not even a fan of the sport, just my team so it's a weirder dynamic with me and baseball.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Has he ever won a playoff round?

    ReplyDelete
  96. It would be more for a torture thing than a sex thing. I could even hire an age appropriate kid to handle the insertion.

    ReplyDelete
  97. His Nuggets made it to the WCF one year.

    That being said, I don't think Carmelo is a guy you can build a team around.

    ReplyDelete
  98. He made it to the West Finals once.

    ReplyDelete
  99. You can rebuild anybody into a main-eventer if you decide to do it. Triple H made it back from being buried.

    ReplyDelete
  100. He isn't. I'm so tired of the debate too.

    ReplyDelete
  101. I still have a hard time buying Reigns as a top-level guy when he looks like an extra from S.W.A.T.

    ReplyDelete
  102. I agree with him. He took teams to the playoffs every year in the wild west. People treat him like he's a garbage player. I heard so many Lakers fans begging LA not to sign him. He definitely doesn't get the respect he's earned

    ReplyDelete
  103. He is. He's one of the two or three best scorers in the league. Give him the same team Durant has and Melo would be a regular conference-finals type.

    ReplyDelete
  104. He's not a garbage player but he's not underrated IMO. He's properly rated as a great player but not an all timer.

    ReplyDelete
  105. With the Knicks and nuggets.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Who's the most improved wrestler of the year?


    I'm gonna say Charlotte.

    ReplyDelete
  107. He's fine as rated.

    ReplyDelete
  108. KUSHIDA and Bad Luck Fale( he's lucky he found his Sting as Nakamura plays the role)

    ReplyDelete
  109. People desperately want to apply sabermeteics to basketball which is beyond ridiculous in a team sport and many of those standards aren't flattering to him. But that is an incorrect rubric so they are wrong.

    ReplyDelete
  110. I like how on old shows on the Network when there's a plug for the WCW or WWF hotline, and they have to cover up the phone number with a "No longer active" graphic. I wonder how many people would try to call.

    ReplyDelete
  111. Fale is 100% being carried by Nakamura. He's exposed pretty badly when he works with other people.

    ReplyDelete
  112. Was that "Kennedy being Vince's son" rumor really going to happen. If so, I imagine he would've won the belt at some point.

    ReplyDelete
  113. I've completely stopped looking at advanced metrics. I guess not looked but I'll look and not see it as a definite stat. per for example.

    ReplyDelete
  114. I'd go the opposite way and say he's overrated. Has clearly proven by now that he can't be a championship player. Just a ball hog that will likely carry an average team to the playoffs, but that's it, that's all.

    ReplyDelete
  115. Oh yeah, Quik and Daz are two of my favorites.

    ReplyDelete
  116. Or being carried by Tanahashi.

    ReplyDelete
  117. Yeah I totally agree. Just making the playoffs with the nuggets out west was amazing. If he spent his earlier years in the east he would have won tons of playoff series.

    How many playoff series would derrick rose have won if he got drafted by a west coast team?

    ReplyDelete
  118. He was going to cash in the briefcase on the Undertaker but tore his tricep (I think) and they subbed in Edge instead. He never really recovered from that.

    ReplyDelete
  119. Well that's a proper rating but I'm not sure the majority agrees with you.

    ReplyDelete
  120. Well if nothing else at least the LeBron/Melo debate ended.

    ReplyDelete
  121. Cops - The TV show that routintely gets higher ratings than TNA Impact.

    ReplyDelete
  122. If the TNA title was alive I'd book him for a HTM title run.

    ReplyDelete
  123. He's the third best player from the class behind Bron and Wade.

    ReplyDelete
  124. We're never going to find out for sure because he took the max deal to stay with the Knicks. There's no way they're ever going to assemble a championship calber team now. I agree it'd be interesting to see if he could pull it off for another team for less money...but that's not ever going to happen now.

    ReplyDelete
  125. The basketball talk has me excited. Thursday night basketball will be fun during the live thread.

    ReplyDelete
  126. Extant1979 - Ghetto SuperstarOctober 1, 2014 at 6:39 PM

    Portishead or Sarah McLachlan, depending on the chick.

    ReplyDelete
  127. Bayless finally got his behind in gear tonight. Proud of you guy

    ReplyDelete
  128. Anybody know what WWE's plan was for Triple H before he (real-life) hooked up with Stephanie? I always hear people say HHH only became a main-eventer because of Stephanie, but my memory from that time had him already getting pushed up the card to the main event heel while he was still (real-life) with Chyna.

    ReplyDelete
  129. And what teammates is he supposed to pass to?

    ReplyDelete
  130. That's the thing, there's enough world class workers in New Japan right now that they can make anyone they want look good. But when he's in with a Davey Boy Jr. or a Gallows he doesn't really know what he's doing.

    ReplyDelete
  131. That 08-09 team was really solid.

    ReplyDelete
  132. Huh? He's one of the best scorers in the NBA. He carried tons of nuggets teams to the playoffs in the insane west. If he got drafted by the heat and wade for taken by the nuggets I guarantee you he heat would have been way better pre Lebron and you'd say the same thing about wade (but probably be right)

    ReplyDelete
  133. Story goes he only hooked up with Stephanie after they were paired up on-screen. My guess is the McMahon-Helmsley Regime goes on as planned until Unforgiven where Steph joins up with Kurt.

    ReplyDelete
  134. he was going to be a lifer. The marriage made him the heir apparent

    ReplyDelete
  135. It's good to have a solid midcard. NJPW also made his finisher a FPR critical, that and The Rainmaker are mdk moves.

    ReplyDelete
  136. They were hell bent on pushing him regardless of crowd reaction. The Stephanie Wedding angle finally made the fans buy into it.

    ReplyDelete
  137. Episode 2 of Gotham was campy as hell

    ReplyDelete
  138. I actually thought it was better than the pilot.

    ReplyDelete
  139. I'd say Carmelo is a better individual talent than wade, but basketball is a team game. I'd compare it to an emmit smith vs Barry sanders thing. Yeah one guy got all the rings but who was really better?

    ReplyDelete
  140. Yeah that was the year the made it to the WCF.

    ReplyDelete
  141. I have nothing to say. I simply wish to show off my new avatar.

    Though I can't figure out why it's turning the pic sideways. Stoopid disqus. Hoss smash.

    ReplyDelete
  142. I enjoyed the first episode.

    ReplyDelete
  143. At the time of the draft I would have took Melo first. With it to do all over again would you take Bosh or Melo? I think that's a better discussion

    ReplyDelete
  144. They hooked up because of the story-line with each other. So yeah, there were plans for HHH way before he start dating her.

    ReplyDelete
  145. Hello, old man.

    ReplyDelete
  146. Literally made me GTS

    ReplyDelete
  147. Since we did the Carmelo overrated superstar thing for NBA, lets do it for WWE. Who's the most overrated superstar in the WWE? I say Orton.

    ReplyDelete
  148. Nor should it. Its outrageous and says everything about the NBA CBA that a guy like Carmelo Anthony can get criticized for making money.

    ReplyDelete
  149. I'm not throwing in the towel... and I thought the Penguin was DOIN WORK... but Jada and donal are awful and some of it is a bit over the top and could be played more seriously.

    ReplyDelete
  150. As I said, he can carry an average team to the playoffs, but that's it, that's all. You basically just agreed with me.

    ReplyDelete
  151. I did as well... ths one was not so great IMO

    ReplyDelete
  152. Was not a fan of the second episode. Thought it took a big step back from the pilot, but I hope it was a step back to take a few steps forward.

    ReplyDelete
  153. LeBron carried an average team to the finals and got swept. Does that make him overrated?

    ReplyDelete
  154. Aka, that year where WWE Raw was in Los Angeles, instead of Denver. Good memories.

    ReplyDelete
  155. I enjoyed Logue's Bullock on the pilot. I hated the Penguin guy.

    ReplyDelete
  156. average is being generous

    ReplyDelete
  157. That tag match with the jerseys was fun.

    ReplyDelete
  158. I hate Jada's character but Donal as Bullock is awesome. Best part of the show. He's at his weakest when he has scenes with her. Falcone is also so much more interesting than Mooney. I pray they phase her out soon.

    ReplyDelete
  159. Nope, cause he eventually did win a few titles. And before that, yes, he was overrated and an under-achiever, but he eventually broke through. Carmelo hasn't even come close, and he seems to have actually regressed.

    ReplyDelete
  160. Orton & Reigns.

    ReplyDelete
  161. Pit or Giants, who wins?

    ReplyDelete
  162. Current or all time?


    All time, I have to say Triple H. I mean, he has the eye-popping resume and I generally love his overall body of work...but like Cornette said, he's never been the guy that makes you money. He's the guy that works with the guy that makes you money.

    ReplyDelete
  163. Not that much, I'm 18 now.

    ReplyDelete
  164. What's wrong with being the guy that works with the guy that makes money? That's what the top heel is supposed to be. And plus, I bet his merch sales have made a ton of money.

    ReplyDelete
  165. He won the titles with another two superstars with him.

    Put Carmelo with Wade and Bosh and they would've won two titles as well.

    ReplyDelete
  166. He can carry a bad team to the playoffs in the west/ that's amazing and wade and lebron never faced that challenged. Lebron is 9-18 in the playoffs vs West teams. I don't think you realize the talent gap between conferences. Memo played most of his career in the big boy league

    ReplyDelete
  167. I'm loving the quality of this perfectly legit streams of the MLB games.

    ReplyDelete
  168. Lebron wasn't overrated at all before he won a title. Basketball is a team game dude.

    ReplyDelete
  169. Again, he did incredible in his first 4-5 years, I absolutely put him over Lebron from around 2004 to 2009. But... Basically nothing since. Gotta improve at some point.

    ReplyDelete
  170. Amen. No one gets on Phil Jackson for getting as much as he can while doing the least amount of work

    ReplyDelete
  171. Overrated by who exactly? By us, by WWE in kayfabe?

    ReplyDelete
  172. Follow-up: At what point did HHH being a top guy go from a deserved spot to a nepotism thing?

    ReplyDelete
  173. It got Kennedy fired. So it's an A+ in my book.

    ReplyDelete
  174. Girlfriend left a soaking wet towel on top of my dirty clothes hamper in the bedroom. Could have killed the bitch.

    ReplyDelete
  175. WWF1987, do you prefer Devitt or AJ/Anderson as the Bullet Club leader?

    ReplyDelete
  176. 02-04 reign of terror

    ReplyDelete
  177. I started to watch it, and just lost interest less than 10 mins in. The guy that wears the fedora (shame on me for not remembering his name or looking it up, especially since he's from my hometown area) was also on Sons of Anarchy last season, KILLING IT. This just sort of played like garbage by comparison, and I really didn't give it a fair shake. Maybe just wasn't in the mood.
