Like I said in the other thread, gonna give hockey a try tonight. Figure it'd be something I could get into.
ReplyDeleteHockey>TNA by a mile. IF I even turn the TV on, it's going straight to NBCSN.
ReplyDeleteWho's your team?
ReplyDeleteDon't have a team though considering I live in Texas, guess it'll be the Stars.
ReplyDeleteDallas looks strong this year with a good core of players.
ReplyDeleteOMG, where has this thread been my... last... hour?
ReplyDeleteIs Lashley still the champ?
ReplyDeleteIt was announced at the WWE Smackdown taping that the John Cena and Dean Ambrose's match at Hell in a Cell will be no holds barred with a contract on a pole. The winner will face Seth Rollins in a Hell in a Cell match.
ReplyDeleteThe cat's out of the bag: Vince Russo is an employee of WWE.
So apparently they're firing CM Punk since AJ Lee had a 40 man royal gangbang or something that wasn't as good as the already planned Lita/Trish main event at WM 31.
ReplyDeleteOr something.
For one more week.
ReplyDeleteThe thread has been out getting nice and toasted, forgetting to pay the cab ride over here to the blog. Police got involved.
ReplyDeleteBut all is well, now. It was just a misunderstanding.
Who won/wins it?
ReplyDeleteBegs the question: when should thte title change be acknowledged?
ReplyDeleteWhen it happens or when it airs?
If they were running house shows, Lashley would still be defending it, even though he's already lost it.
It must be some kind of mistake.
ReplyDeleteI waited at your house for hours.
You were late.

I think it's Roode, but I never read a spoiler. It's just the only option that's not 100% retarded.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one that enjoys listening to old Wrestling Observer Live episodes from like 1999-2001 on YouTube and/or tracking down message board posts from the same time period? As someone who was only in 8th grade when WrestleMania 17 aired, I've always found it interesting to see what the "IWC" was like during the boom period. It's almost like being able to read first hand historical accounts.
ReplyDeleteLet me clarify my post: when should the official date of the change be?
ReplyDelete"Consultant"... BRO
ReplyDeleteWell, that's why the World Title isn't on BfG.
ReplyDeleteIf it's taped in this day and age then it's no secret so just announce it
ReplyDeleteI listened to one where Dave Meltzer reported the Steve Austin heel trun.
ReplyDeleteI was 20 at the time and I find it interesting reading about how the attitude era shaped the minds of you young whippersnappers.
ReplyDeleteA couple of months ago I listened to several right around when WCW was about to be sold and it was interesting to hear how WWF really did kinda come out of no where and that while they were always a dark horse, most people assumed it'd be Fusient. Also really interesting that after it was official that WWF was buying WCW, how many people thought it was fake/a work.
ReplyDelete"Cena vs Ambrose could be an awesome match. Instead of letting it be, let's add a pole..."
ReplyDeleteI mean in general, though, regardless of BfG.
ReplyDeleteLike the old WCW Disney days. You'd have people defending titles at taping they hadn't won yet since they were scheduled to win them at a Clash in the future. Hell, I believe the Freebirds lost their titles before they ever actually won them.
Back in the day, when you have a title change hand weeks before it happens on TV, should the change have been counted as the actual date it happened, or the date when it falls into storyline.
You could look up on Wiki and see so-and-so won the title at whatever taping (that wouldn't air for a few weeks), and then check a site like History of WWF and see that in those week the old champ was still defending the belt.
I'm 32 so however old that makes me for the Attitude Era, anyway, people complained just as much then as they do now. We didn't know how good we had it.
ReplyDeleteHEY DEVIN
ReplyDeleteIf I was ever to hang with you, I'd buy you a...
BACON
BURGER
DOG
I wash myself with a rag on a stick.
ReplyDeleteI loved it at the time. I was always a huge wrestling fan. I started watching at a real young age, probably 4 or 5. Hogan was my favorite even though he was just about done with the WWF by the time I started watching. My parents rented and bought me tons of tapes so I did get to watch older WWF from before I was born.
ReplyDeleteI kept watching through the New Generation and attended WrestleMania 10. I was pretty much the only one I knew who loved wrestling until Nitro launched and the MNW began. Then around 97-01, almost everyone I was friends with also liked wrestling. I think that's part of why that era holds a special place for me.
Once I started to become more of a "smark" thanks to discovering Scott Keith and branching out to non-US wrestling in the early 00's, I hated WWE because it wasn't the Attitude Era. It wasn't until I got Classics on Demand that I was able to go back and re-watch the stuff and realize, "a lot of this doesn't stand up nearly as well as I remembered".
And a chocolate soda!
ReplyDeleteI wash my stick with a Night81 on the rag.
ReplyDeleteWait...
Brother got picked for the Cavs single game lottery yesterday for the opportunity to buy tickets in November. We snatched up 3 Pelicans tickets. I got picked for the single game lottery today and passed on buying tickets because you are banned from the lottery for 2 months after you buy 1 game's tickets. I'm hoping to be picked in December for January's games.
ReplyDeleteI was reading some posts from the end of 1999/early 2000 on the Wrestling Classics message board and it seemed like people fucking hated US wrestling in 1999. Funny because it was ridiculously popular, especially the WWF. I could see why the "smarks" at the time didn't like it though because the WWF's "workrate" was almost non-existent and WCW's super workers were perennial midcarders.
ReplyDeleteDon't write checks yo ass can't cash!
ReplyDeleteThat would be cool to see Anthony Davis play.
ReplyDeleteFrom DAY ONE
ReplyDeleteI like his unibrow.
ReplyDeleteI think that's what I find most funny. The older people swear the wrestling they grew up on was the best but the attitude babies won't claim that era for anything.
ReplyDeleteI saw him two years ago during his rookie season. The guy can play. He's going to be a huge star.
ReplyDeleteI'ma have hot dogs for dinner.
ReplyDeleteMy die-hard fandom probably died in 2001 with Austin's heel turn. Then 2002 happened and I graduated and was trying to figure shit out and Austin walked out and I was watching less and less. By 2003 I only watched the road to wrestlemania and by 2004 I had basically checked out full time.
ReplyDeleteHe is awesome. I am a huge fan but too bad the rest of his team kinda sucks
ReplyDelete2000 - early 2001 was generally complaint free, although I'm sure there is still more than people would think. The funny thing is Triple H was the clear MVP of that time period.
ReplyDeletewhat you tryina say man?
ReplyDeleteI work near one of the hospital cafeteria, so I tend to have dinner type food for lunch.
ReplyDeleteToday I had pot roast/veggies, with potatoes, and mushrooms and a roll
You know what's funny, Meltzer continuously gets asked about Austin turning heel at least once a week without fail in his mailbag
ReplyDeleteOnly if we were wearing matching Gordon Gartrelle's or whoever it's spelled
ReplyDeleteFlash Seats at the last minute will be the best way to get tickets.
ReplyDeleteWhoever's idea it was to shut down Yonge Street and Dundas Square so that people can watch the game has earned my scorn.
ReplyDeleteEh, they have Asik, Evans, Gordon, and Jrue Holiday now. Pretty solid.
ReplyDeleteI'd be down with that.
ReplyDeleteNow excuse me while I go write a rap about Julius Caesar (or whatever it was)
If I can grab them at face value through the lottery, I will. I want to snag 6 tickets to the Heat game in Janary so I can sell 3 of them and make some cash.
ReplyDeletemmmm
ReplyDeleteStephen Collins is getting Benoited.
ReplyDeleteand I'll be down at Hillman not ever going to class.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it was good. Pretty cheap, too.
ReplyDeleteAnd if it helps me eat relatively better, then yay, I guess.
The Leafs will get off to a hot start and look like a lock for the playoffs and then go down in flames in February. I can't get into them this year
ReplyDeleteI used to think the Attitude Era was the best but re-watching it has hurt. I actually really liked mid-80's JCP over the Attitude Era but that's probably just because my taste in pro wrestling has changed a lot.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'd never heard of him until yesterday, so I guess I won't miss him much.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. I just realized I've been here awhile and not really had a feud with anyone. I know I'm just a curtain jerker but I've got spunk and potential. And a steel folding chair I can sneak up on somebody with. Fair warning.
ReplyDeleteNo bench to speak of though. Austin Rivers is a bust too.
ReplyDeleteThat's b/c you're at the cafeteria BS'ing with that old dude until it's time for you to introduce a new cute kid 'cause the other one grew up.
ReplyDeleteYou just walk into the hospital and eat?
ReplyDeleteI remember a lot of the kids in school tuning out in 01 after the Austin heel turn and by the time we got back from summer vacation in September of 01, it was like everybody stopped watching. Wrestling was officially no longer cool.
ReplyDeleteThey had no defense at all last year. None. If they did, Bernier could have been a Vezina finalist
ReplyDeleteLots of people do.
ReplyDeleteAttitude was fine for the time but it wasn't made to be rewatched. It had to be enjoyed in the moment to get it. JCP is very serial so it's easy to get into and follow.
ReplyDeleteThe cafeteria, yeah. It's open to the public.
ReplyDeleteIt's a well known fact that theo huxtable enjoyed chocolate soda with his bacon burger dogs.
ReplyDeleteWe can feud I guess, if you want.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of letters are t and s anyhow? You couldn't use something less common?
If you had a set you'd have called yourself qk14.
My girlfriend works in Tufts Medical Center in Boston and cafeteria's are awesome. Good food and all different varieties at decent prices.
ReplyDelete100% agreed. Attitude Era (and ECW) was definitely a product of the time. Had to be there.
ReplyDeleteGonna check it out later, but the big news now is that WWE is thinking of firing AJ?
ReplyDeleteInnocence died. Ever since then, I just can't get into hockey anymore. Carlyle is a cocksucker
ReplyDeleteOn a scale of 1 to Sandusky how bad do people think he is?
ReplyDeleteOh, I thought you were accusing me of having a jheri curl/afro combination
ReplyDeleteThey may or may not. Plans might change or they may not.
ReplyDelete7th Heaven got pulled, he got fired from Ted 2, he's getting edited out of Scandal
ReplyDeleteI couldnt stand him the one year he played a Duke, the year Lehigh beat the shit out of them in the first round of the tourney
ReplyDeleteOne time at band camp one of the ladies behind the counter asked me if everything was OK since I'd been there a few days in a row. She didn't realize I worked in the area and thought that I was there at the hospital for a while with someone having a hard time.
ReplyDeleteNice. Some usually have special prices for seniors too so the elderly eat at hospitals frequently. Overall though, hospitals are fairly cheap and have a good variety of food.
ReplyDeleteFuck it, I would just hit that shit up for dinner too.
ReplyDeleteIs cockroach going to be there?
ReplyDeleteForm the comments, it looks like it.
ReplyDeleteNope.
ReplyDeleteShould've lied to get an extra free piece of meat or scoop of potatoes.
ReplyDeleteMy family use to.
ReplyDeleteLesnar is not scheduled to return until January to begin promoting his Royal Rumble title defense, likely against John Cena. We noted before that Cena may face Rusev at WrestleMania 31 and this would be a good set-up for Rusev to cost Cena the match.
ReplyDeleteThe cafeteria itself closes at 3 PM for some reason, though a little sandwich and soup shop in another part stays open later. But I have bought big things of soup for less than $3 to take home for dinner. Last night was chicken pot pie soup!
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've read on RSPW archives and Petrie's rants, most of the internet was staunchly pro-WWF in from late 96-98, hated EVERYTHING in 1999 but at least gave WWF props for getting big ratings, and loved WWF in 2000.
ReplyDeleteYou represent Clemson with Dabo's no soul having behind. I am a once proud Gamecock. NATURAL RIVALRY!
ReplyDeleteI guess since CBC lost the rights I can't stream hockey any more.
ReplyDeleteYes, WALTER will be there
ReplyDeleteDuke has been a horrible tournament team lately minus 2010.
ReplyDeleteOh man, I love soup. I'd be all over that.
ReplyDeleteThis final match in the tag title series could have been a good BFG match. Oh well, we'll get what we get.
ReplyDeleteno, he got fired cause he wouldn't cut his hair. Only clean cut people hang out with us
ReplyDeleteWow, the new Observer just came out and the currently planned WM main event is totally out of left field.
ReplyDeleteI don't think they could've done Full Metal Mayhem at the arena they will be in.
ReplyDeleteYou can feud with me, I'll put you over.
ReplyDeleteRock vs. HHH?
ReplyDeleteIt looked big enough.
ReplyDeleteI've been here for a while and haven't either. Met some good people that I enjoy chatting with though so that's more important to me.
ReplyDeletefor realz?
ReplyDeletePartying like it's 2000.
ReplyDeleteI'd be fine with that. Rock has to win,
ReplyDeleteAnd also Abeyance.
ReplyDelete.........
ReplyDeleteYep!
I was pissed that they beat Butler too.
ReplyDeleteEspecially me.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was getting the soup to go, another lady was looking at another pot (same type of soup) and was all like "I want some crust, I don't see a lot of crust in there."
ReplyDeleteThis was the cafeteria, and the soup was open for people buying there to serve it. In the little sandwich shop, the same lady who asked if I was OK told me that at one time they kept the chicken and dumpling or chicken pot pie soup behind the counter only for employees to serve out b/c when it was out in the open, people would pilfer all the good stuff form the soup, so they had to start rationing it, hah.
That'll bring it the buys.
ReplyDeleteStarting Arrow!
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteI will summarize it in tomorrow's daily update.
Rock putting Faarooq in his place will never not be awesome to me.
ReplyDeleteMatch seems strange.
ReplyDeleteDoes Elvin's rat tail count as clean cut?
ReplyDeleteYou're right...Bud.
ReplyDeleteu srs bro?
ReplyDeleteSi
ReplyDeleteLet me tell you what my brother says.
ReplyDeleteWrestling Classics is a bad example because old fans from early 80s and before hate everything that is current pro wrestling.
ReplyDeleteI do recall negativity towards in WCW around 2000, but you had to dig for it to places like newsgroups. The Internets was a lot different back then.
Coach K's moonlighting the last few years can't be helping much. Seems like he's bored
ReplyDeleteThere is going to be a segment, that was already filmed, that plants the seed for that to happen
ReplyDeleteMVP still runs the company?
ReplyDeleteDo Rock and HHH even get along at this point?
ReplyDeleteToo bad it wasn't out of right field. I would love to see what Ichiro could do in a WWE ring.
ReplyDeleteThey normally setup all the chairs very close to ringside. Plus, I don't think the Japanese audience would be too fond of guys flying off ladders lol
ReplyDeletehmmm. Got to think on that one.
ReplyDeleteAh ok. Still plans for Reigns vs. Lesnar?
ReplyDeleteIf this played out on camera I'd be fine with it.
ReplyDeleteSteve Lombardi owns TNA?
ReplyDeleteTHAT'S THE BEST ELEVATOR MUSIC I EVER HEARD!
ReplyDeleteMister_E is skeptical that will be anything less than a slow motion trainwreck.
ReplyDeleteI actually like you...
ReplyDelete::steel chair handshake::
...but fuck Carolina.
HOW UGLY IS THE BOY!!!!!!1111!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDouble negatives are not not bad.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you taking about?
ReplyDeleteThis was the raw where Austin throws the intercontinental belt in the river. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteSteve Lombardi has no interest in T.
ReplyDeleteIt's on Smackdown Friday
ReplyDeleteThat's what she said
ReplyDeleteWish we got a segment with Vince filing a claim with the insurance company.
ReplyDeleteAnother reason to watch.
ReplyDeleteGot a legit LOL from me. Well done!
ReplyDeleteo no u did ent
ReplyDeleteBTW, Bayless sorry for yesterday's argument.
ReplyDeleteThe Cooooooooossssssssssssbyyyyyyyyyyyyy Show with the puddin' pops and the smile and have a Coke and some wiggly Jello *goofy face*
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered about that.
ReplyDeleteWasn't that kinda illegal?
Though I do remember hearing about some dude who tried dive to find it.
Yes but Meltzer reported that it is not set in stone because the company might change directions if they feel Reigns is not hot enough for the match or if the fans force their hand again to go with Bryan or even Ambrose.
ReplyDeleteWasn't Cliff running his office out of his house a lawsuit waiting to happen?
ReplyDeleteDont worry about it. Water under a bridge
ReplyDeleteI think so. Same with the dad from Growing Pains too
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear Todd Grisham and Teddy Atlas call some wrestling matches. Teddy would be an awesome color guy.
ReplyDeleteAlright guys, who do rank as the top 5 IC Champions of all-time?
ReplyDeleteI hated growing pains dad. He moves his practice to his home putting him at risk for a lawsuit so his wife could go back to work. I would have been like REPORT ON MAKING ME A SANDWICH WOMAN!
ReplyDeleteI'd love Bryan vs. Lesnar for the belt and a Reigns vs. Ambrose vs. Rollins match for the briefcase.
ReplyDeleteI'm picturing Bill Cosby now.
ReplyDeleteFUCK
ReplyDeleteTHIS
COMPANY.
It's a very non-credible rumor. The rumor wasn't worth the "AJ's value" debate it brought out, but as a discussion starter it did succeed.
ReplyDeleteCosby Show IRL: I had to run to the store. It was a few of miles away and closed in 5 minutes.
ReplyDeleteBut it's OK - I was driving the Vesuvius!
Wow, treated like a B-show with that add, sadl
ReplyDeleteSavage, Perfect, Hart, Razor
ReplyDeleteAnd, obviously, Honkey Tonk Man.
I'm watching an FXFL (?) game and I think there's more people on the field that in the crowd/
ReplyDeleteRazor Ramon
ReplyDeleteRandy Savage
Chris Jericho
Mr. Perfect
Shawn Michaels
In no order: Savage, Jericho, Morales, Bret, Razor
ReplyDeleteRIP Sylvester Stabone
ReplyDeleteinb4 "sounds like a TNA show"
ReplyDeleteBret- did the most with it. Always defended in matches he made matter
ReplyDeletePerfect- put heat on guys working against him
Rock- made it matter after Austin treated it like a thing that annoyed him
no else ranks high enough to matter to me.
Y'see, the kids, they listen to the rap music, which gives them the brain damage. With their hippin' and their hoppin', and their bippin', and their boppin'... so they don't know what the jazz is all about!
ReplyDeleteMy 5 are
ReplyDelete5. Honky Tonk Man
4. Mr. Perfect
3. Don Muraco
2. Razor Ramon
1. Randy Savage
Well, it is in a minor league baseball stadium.
ReplyDeleteI didn't religiously watch Growing Pains growing up, so I never experienced the very special episode where Chandler died after actually surviving a drunk driving accident.
ReplyDeleteIT WAS A SWERVE
ok, I'm laughing and people are looking at me funny
ReplyDeleteTaryn Terrell is so hot.
ReplyDeleteWhere are you reading this in?
ReplyDeleteWarrior did not carry the IC belt "straight through" after taking it from Honky. He traded it with Rick Rude.
ReplyDeleteHE'S A WEENIE
ReplyDeleteIts a good article and a jam packed edition of the Observer so tomorrow's daily update will be a big one.
ReplyDeleteYou referring to the linear way?
ReplyDeleteI read on Wrestlezone that TNA is making a "Hulk Hogan" offer to Punk. Source is the Observer.
ReplyDeletemarvin Gaye's old chick? wait that's Tammy Terrell never mind
ReplyDeleteChoose 1:
ReplyDeleteLamont the Goldfish or Lamont Sanford
When they had Slammiversary in Boston, they did the meet and greet in the town that I lived and I wanted to go just to see how she looked in person.
ReplyDeleteVery nice.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyYo3Hm6pS4
ReplyDelete*Applauds*
ReplyDeleteAnd that was why I posted it. It was good at garnering discussion that was 99% non-mental
ReplyDeleteShe really fucking is.
ReplyDeleteShe was Carlton's, though
ReplyDeleteI see nothing wrong with her. She's not Trish level for me but close,
ReplyDeleteHavok will never get over with that theme.
ReplyDeleteThat was there too and it said how Punk has no interest in wrestling
ReplyDeleteRazor ranked at #2 is major LOLZ. No one watched the product at that time and any PPV match with anybody but Shawn sucked.
ReplyDeleteHavok looks like she's destroyed many toilets in her day.
ReplyDeleteHavok from Mobb Deep?
ReplyDeleteLAMONT, YOU DUMMY
ReplyDeleteI just reread it... they meant the momentum took him right through to WM6... not that he held the title right through.
ReplyDeleteEh. Babies ruin vaginas so I've soured on boning it.
ReplyDeleteNo, my understanding of the first guy's meaning was that Warrior carried the belt from Honky to the Hogan world title win. That's not the case, as he lost it to Rude and regained it in between. Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought he meant Warrior carried it non-stop to the Hulk match
ReplyDelete
