  1. Roseanne always brought it on the Halloween episodes, just finished the one where they trick the bitchy next door neighbor into thinking Roseanne gutted Dan on the kitchen table, a thing of beauty.

  2. Random question:


    50s/60s Lou Thesz in the UFC? Good Idea, or Bad Idea? I think it'd be interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Legit tought guy, Brody or Meng would be cooler, but still a good idea.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Assuming modern training techniques he'd be dangerous, assuming he didn't use all the illegal-ass hooks.

    ReplyDelete
  5. They went right to 50-50 booking, not listening to the audience, running the matches over and over and HD all at the time same time huh? I think they turned pg in early 08 also.

    ReplyDelete
  6. What are you watching

    ReplyDelete
  7. Saw snowpiercer for the first time since the theater last night. What a great movie.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I've never seen a Lou thesz match.

    ReplyDelete
  9. LOL'd at this.

    "It’s voting week again, and at least one resident of Wake County, North Carolina has written-in the “Nature Boy” Ric Flair on the ballot for County Soil and Water Board of Supervisors. NewsObserver.com has more on the election, which apparently saw a pretty heated write-in battle between Disney’s Mickey Mouse, and President Barack Obama in 2010."

  10. Jeff Harvey...ah the adamle era!

    ReplyDelete
  11. Where are you at, I'll join you I'm stuck at work all night

    ReplyDelete
  12. Nice. Just about to start Jeff hardy vs randy Orton.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Edge and Rey had two back to back PPV matches that were equally awesome and disappointing at the same time.

    Rey was injured so they were both 10 minute sprints. They rocked for how short they were but damn if Rey was healthy he and Edge could have had magic.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Did you saw BOLA?

    ReplyDelete
  15. I still need to watch that. Might do so tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Sweet I'm there, I'm actually excited I haven't seen these two in forever, they always worked pretty well together

    ReplyDelete
  17. On about hour 1 of Day 3.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Why would he cut his DVD in half?


    (kidding, kidding. But the correct phrase is "Did you see BOLA?")

    ReplyDelete
  19. Was that dude just a huge rib on everyone?

    ReplyDelete
  20. I think the whole business was a rib on him actually.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Forgive me.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Dude its really good. Like a better hunger games

    ReplyDelete
  23. Hey, he had a perfectly fine career as an announcer for American Gladiators.

    ReplyDelete
  24. ACH/Omega might be my MOTY, I need to see Bryan/HHH again. That stunner was awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  25. No problem, just having a little fun there.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Hunger games with no teen crap.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I'm still mad at this msg crows for booing rey

    ReplyDelete
  28. Hardy's craaaaaazy over in 2008 in MSG.


    The crowd is chanting "Let's Go Hardy" and I'm totally trained now to expect an echo "Hardy Sucks" but it...never comes.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Its so weird to see a guy getting pushed that is over with the fana

    ReplyDelete
  30. Seriously, every move is over including all the stuff we'd seen for almost 10 years by 2008, it's great.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Wwe definitely has better HD than sports.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I went to the show where Donald Trump purchased Raw. Jeff Hardy was more over than Cena. I wasn't watching then so I was surprised how popular he was. I was just there b/c my nieces wanted to go

    ReplyDelete
  33. "Whose your boy now huh?!"


    Randy was doing some fine heel stuff back then too.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Jeff was the MAN from his return in late 06- his departure.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Becoming a family man made Orton boring, douchebag heel orton is way better than the Apex Predator.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Jeff Hardy does the best baseball slide moves

    ReplyDelete
  37. Age of Orton was awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Oh man, Jeff slams his head into the announce table and Orton jumps up and swings at empty air then falls down, wonderful stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  39. The spot where hardy does a front mule kick between the middle ropes and randy takes a backward head first bump into the crowd barrier is awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Orton from 2008- WM 25 was one of the best heels of the last 20 years.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I was at this show! I think Rey's stuff had gotten stale and people didn't like the Eddiesploitation.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I don't think his family had anything to do with it. Creative just evolved his character. He was douchebag heel for 5 years at that point. I think it was the right time for a change and his psychotic character made him one of the most over guys in the company from 2009-2012

    ReplyDelete
  43. In the Teddy Long shoot he talked about Ron Garvin shooting on a jobber. I actually have that match. It's one of the Mulkey's. So Mulkey blows his knee out on a whip to the corner and Garvin completely loses it. Crockett loses it on commentary telling people not to try this at home and what not. I think the Mulkey's went to Starrcade so they wouldn't sue.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Jericho's 07-08 baby face run was really weird. Even Jericho acknowledged his act was stale.

    ReplyDelete
  45. The evolution was organic, that's what made him over in 2008-2009. This is no longer Orton, the legend Killer, this is now a matured Orton, who knows what he's capable.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Fuck Rugged Ronnie

    ReplyDelete
  47. Here's a classic 50 minute war between him and Buddy Rogers.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEROugeKfOs









    lol at anyone that would seriously watch that..

    ReplyDelete
  48. Then Bockwinkel turn until getting squashed by Cena.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Yea that Y2J JBL feud just sucked

    ReplyDelete
  50. Lost respect for him on that one. The crowd caught on to it also and started giving him shit. Arn and Tully improvised a run-in and stiffed him on some kicks.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Losing a match is not the same getting as squashed

    ReplyDelete
  52. This is match his proof of how awesome wrestling is when you have a face and heel the crowd buys into do a match.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I finished Jericho's book. Hilarious and it's his best of the three amazing books.

    I'm convinced Vince McMahon is the best texter ever.

    Jericho texted Vince that he was thinking of using a new finish for his return in 2012(it was gonna be called the Apocalypse Now) but Vince responded Jericho already had a finish:staring up at the lights.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Let me correct. He would lose his heat after the Cena feud.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Just witnessed the "Piledriver" video for the first time on SNME. I will say, the guy going to masturbate in the porta-potty was quite the twist ending for a wrestling show.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Nah man. Jericho was molten as ever after he bloodied Flair and beat up the legends.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Even though he transitioned into the hot legends feud?

    ReplyDelete
  58. It's really been pretty damn exciting for a match I know the ending to

    ReplyDelete
  59. Jericho makes a bunch of notes of texts he got from Vince and they make me laugh every time.

    Every Vince story is a homerun.

    ReplyDelete
  60. That is fantastic, I wonder if I can find it on totallylegalkindleversionsdotcom

    ReplyDelete
  61. Fucking tremendous avatar pic

  62. Extant1979 - Mr. Cable AccessNovember 6, 2014 at 6:01 PM

    Well you know, sometimes love... it's like a sloooow dance.

    ReplyDelete
  63. It sucked Jericho's reign ended to Cena(especially one of Cena's weaker returns) Cena was pretty flat for a few months after returning. But Jericho turned out more than okay.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Here we go Brownies here we go. Woof! Woof!

    ReplyDelete
  65. I'm not a fan of the legends feud.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Charismatic Enigma is right, there's never been a guy with shittier offense but it never mattered because people loved him.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Thanks. After finishing the series (yet again) last night, I have to agree!

    ReplyDelete
  68. Extant1979 - Mr. Cable AccessNovember 6, 2014 at 6:02 PM

    Four-day weekend, here I come! But first, a little BoD action for Mr. Cable Access!

    ReplyDelete
  69. And then a great feud with Rey and then a dominant tag team and then another title defense at Wrestlemania.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Moonsault to the floor, goddamn that looked painful

    ReplyDelete
  71. The Rey feud was great.

    ReplyDelete
  72. At the time I was bummed. But Jericho made gold out of it where in lesser hands it could have bombed.

    Plus, looking back what other match is there for him? Shoving him into the Cena/Edge/Show deal? He'd just get lost in the shuffle.

    MITB? He'd been there, done that and he needed the spotlight on him. The legends feud gave him freedom to get great heat and have him a spotlight with him being the heel of the match and interacting with Rourke.

    ReplyDelete
  73. That was a damn great match, I'm stoked for this Rumble, was this Cena's surprise Rumble?

    ReplyDelete
  74. Jericho from April 2008-WrestleMania 26 was amazing. Maybe the best run of his career. One of the best WWE runs ever.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Why not? It got Jericho great heat and gave Steamboat the farewell he always deserved. Watching Steamboat back in the ring and doing all his old spots was a great moment of nostalgia

    ReplyDelete
  76. I dunno about the booking call but great match. One big criticism of Orton from the iwc over the years is that hr made too many comebacks as a heel and the babyface never got a big offensive sequence, but he took a ass kicking in this match to make Jeff look just as good.

    ReplyDelete
  77. I'd be willing to bet that's one of Jericho's favorite things he's ever done, he was very clearly loving that whole feud.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Yup. I think this is a really good one but I haven't seen it in a looong time.

    ReplyDelete
  79. His book(goddamn I'm a whore) confirms that claim.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Yeah Jeff looked great in this match, he just got caught outta nowhere with the RKO, it was an early part of the Vine push for Randy, let it play ou....whatever.

    ReplyDelete
  81. What the fuck are taz and styles doing? I know these c show losers aren't about to call the rumble are they?

    ReplyDelete
  82. All six announcers called it

    ReplyDelete
  83. I always love these Rumble by the numbers thing.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Yeah that was weird, a by the numbers Rumble promo ahhhh, the start of an era.

    ReplyDelete
  85. It was just bad timing on Jeff's part

    ReplyDelete
  86. they need this one

    ReplyDelete
  87. It's a tragedy that they don't run MSG.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Extant1979 - Mr. Cable AccessNovember 6, 2014 at 6:09 PM

    I wish they had done Jericho-Steamboat one-on-one at WrestleMania instead of the next show. I understand why they did it, as I'm sure nobody was willing to bet that the Dragon could still go, but damn that would have been what we call a WrestleMania moment for sure.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Speaking of jeffs offense, whisper in the with is such a cool move, it deserves a better name.

    ReplyDelete
  90. They do house shows there

    ReplyDelete
  91. Screw house shows man! PPV or bust!

    ReplyDelete
  92. Lol fuck them, that's what they get for booing Rey Mysterio

    ReplyDelete
  93. Extant1979 - Mr. Cable AccessNovember 6, 2014 at 6:10 PM

    Dec. 26 again this year, right? A little bummed I'm going to be out of town. I had started making a tradition of going to the Christmas show every year.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Agreed but I just remember marking out bigtime when he busted out the offense that made me a huge fan of his when I started watching

    ReplyDelete
  95. Wait, what? They've stopped doing tv or ppv there? Wtf?

    ReplyDelete
  96. Adam "Colorado" CurryNovember 6, 2014 at 6:11 PM

    Still? I thought they moved all the NYC shows to Barclays because of the cost.

    ReplyDelete
  97. I don't have high hopes.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Extant1979 - Mr. Cable AccessNovember 6, 2014 at 6:11 PM

    I think that making the Rumble an MSG-exclusive show would be awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  99. It's not profitable.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Whisper in the wind.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Barclays they run TV there.

    ReplyDelete
  102. it's a Led Zepplin reference

    ReplyDelete
  103. Yes. 550,000 people voted against Prop 2 which is amazing. There's that many people who are dicks like me

    ReplyDelete
  104. You'd think a PPV would be more profitable than a house show. Is House Show MSG attendance that good?

    ReplyDelete
  105. This talk of 08 makes me miss that year so much. So many guys that were mega over.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Adam "Colorado" CurryNovember 6, 2014 at 6:12 PM

    Weed brownies?

    ReplyDelete
  107. Too expensive I think. NYC fees 4 life!

    ReplyDelete
  108. House show you can use the whole arena while the set takes out some seating. Plus there's union costs, venue rental etc, that make MSG very expensive.


    Plus the Dolans, ugh.

    ReplyDelete
  109. Buffer! What? I don't remember that?

    ReplyDelete
  110. Extant1979 - Mr. Cable AccessNovember 6, 2014 at 6:12 PM

    I was thinking of that as I was writing up the results yesterday. I was a little surprised to see all three props pass. I thought for sure Prop 1 would get shot down.

    ReplyDelete
  111. They ain't done an MSG PPV since Rocks return at the 2011 Survivor Series.

    ReplyDelete
  112. That city really does everything it can to be expensive doesn't it? Jesus.

    ReplyDelete
  113. Michaels/Jericho, HHH busting some nice matches, Hardy's title chase.

    ReplyDelete
  114. We were so innocent in 2008.


    Jeez, this is a Bush-era PPV, lol. That feels like centuries ago.

    ReplyDelete
  115. Prop 1 had the support of the establishment so I wasn't surprised. I voted for someone who won which was a first.


    I would honestly like to know why someone would vote no for that unless they were just being an asshole

    ReplyDelete
  116. Michael Buffer could be the most uncharismatic announcer in history.

    ReplyDelete
  117. Extant1979 - Mr. Cable AccessNovember 6, 2014 at 6:15 PM

    To Prop 2? There are, apparently, about half a million people in New York State who just vote no to everything. If anything proves that, it's Prop 2.

    ReplyDelete
  118. UT #1? I don't remember this Rumble at all lol


    I'm stoked

    ReplyDelete
  119. Plus Edge and Taker and the rise of viper Orton.

    ReplyDelete
  120. Wait til you see who #2 is.

    ReplyDelete
  121. Extant1979 - Mr. Cable AccessNovember 6, 2014 at 6:15 PM

  124. He was never a good fit for wrestling imo. Too straight laced.

  125. "Yep Mode" Abeyance Brown ©November 6, 2014 at 6:16 PM

    I take it RR 08 is on the Network?

    ReplyDelete
  126. He was already dead.

    ReplyDelete
  127. Extant1979 - Mr. Cable AccessNovember 6, 2014 at 6:16 PM

    I loved that opener as much as I loved the ending to the year before.

    ReplyDelete
  128. So was Undertaker!

    ReplyDelete
  129. There was a bill in 2013 that was some tax credit or something nice for veterans.


    I voted no. A scary amount of people voted no to that too

    ReplyDelete
  130. Adam "Colorado" CurryNovember 6, 2014 at 6:16 PM

    Brian Lee you mean?

    ReplyDelete
  131. Jobber was watching, people joined because Thursday Night Football is lol

    ReplyDelete
  132. Extant1979 - Mr. Cable AccessNovember 6, 2014 at 6:17 PM

    Nope, they took it off the Network and everyone all at once decided to Daily Motion it.

    ReplyDelete
  133. Sure. That I don't know his name is better actually.

    ReplyDelete
  134. Edge/Taker is a overlooked feud due Michaels/Jericho, that HITC was great even without the blood.

    ReplyDelete
  135. You political junkies may find this interesting: http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/battle-for-the-senate-how-the-gop-did-it/2014/11/04/a8df6f7a-62c7-11e4-bb14-4cfea1e742d5_story.html
    Can someone explain to me what a Super Pac is/does?

    ReplyDelete
  136. Rumble 08 is some of the most fun I've ever had at a wrestling show.

    ReplyDelete
  137. "Yep Mode" Abeyance Brown ©November 6, 2014 at 6:18 PM

    Well, the rise, halt, then restart of the Viper.

    ReplyDelete
  138. It's basically a 3rd party raising money and running ads for a candidate only the candidate is legally not allowed to have any involvement with it. No one actually believes that's ever the case

    ReplyDelete
  139. Shit yeah HBK, first time ever the Royal Rumble entrances are done at 40 minute intervals can has?

    ReplyDelete
  140. Adam "Colorado" CurryNovember 6, 2014 at 6:18 PM

    Was that the one about electronic bills or something? I voted no on it.

    ReplyDelete
  141. I used to love to love hearing the truck drivers call in who would have meter maids follow the trucks and ticket them as soon as they park. I live in San Diego and people bitch about the cost of living but I went to high school in ct and we used to always go into the city. I don't care how high my rent is out here, I once paid 160 bucks to park a car in garage for ONE weekend.

    ReplyDelete
  142. what's the difference between that and a regular campaign?

    ReplyDelete
  143. "Yep Mode" Abeyance Brown ©November 6, 2014 at 6:19 PM

    Lot of entertaining segments as well.

    ReplyDelete
  144. LOL There are as many announcers as there are Rumble participants in 2008 apparently.

    ReplyDelete
  145. @Abeyance @White Thunder are you guys going to TLC?

    ReplyDelete
  146. Extant1979 - Mr. Cable AccessNovember 6, 2014 at 6:20 PM

    Any particular reason? Or do you also just vote against all props?


    I'm legit curious about your reasoning.

    ReplyDelete
  147. Six announcers was a horrible idea.

    ReplyDelete
  148. "Yep Mode" Abeyance Brown ©November 6, 2014 at 6:21 PM

    I remember showing my non wrestling fan cousin a few of the Rumble matches, and he hated how unrealistic the 08 match was to the 07 match, criticizing how Viscera got eliminated by one man at this show, but it took 7 men to eliminate him the year prior.

    ReplyDelete
  149. Browns win and they're in first place lol

    ReplyDelete
  150. "Yep Mode" Abeyance Brown ©November 6, 2014 at 6:22 PM

    I haven't gotten tickets.

    ReplyDelete
  151. Ok get rid of this Khali lump and go back to Shawn/UT please....

    ReplyDelete
  152. In theory, a SuperPac is only supposed to talk about the issues, NOT the candidates. In reality, it's a thinly veiled campaign attack ad disguised as an "information ad". The only thing missing is a blatant "Vote for Candidate X" endorsement.

    ReplyDelete
  153. Six is just way too many. Just let JR and Taz call it.

    ReplyDelete
  154. I don't mind racist jokes or stereotyping at all, but Lawler calling santino spaghetti breath makes me wish he would have fired. Not because I'm offended but because Lawler is washed up and that crack should have proven it to everyone.

    ReplyDelete
  155. "Yep Mode" Abeyance Brown ©November 6, 2014 at 6:23 PM

    Your wish may be granted.

    ReplyDelete
  156. Can they take any longer to start this game? I'm going to be drunk by the end of the first.

    ReplyDelete
  157. Did Khali have the worst manager in history?

    ReplyDelete
  158. A regular campaign is ran by the candidate and committee. Superpacs support who they choose to.

    ReplyDelete
  159. Isn't that his kayfabe brother?

    ReplyDelete
  160. I got decent seats for 125 a piece.

    ReplyDelete
  161. Dalton is so gonna blow this game.

    ReplyDelete
  162. Msg telling khali he cant wrestle after they booed Rey is annoying.

    ReplyDelete
  167. Adam "Colorado" CurryNovember 6, 2014 at 6:24 PM

    I just don't trust computers, and to be honest I didn't really understand it. Voted no on prop #1 too because I completely didn't understand it, but the word "redistricting" usually means someone gets fucked. Only voted yes on #3 on account of my niece, if I didn't have any school-age relatives I would have voted no on that one too. $2 billion?

    ReplyDelete
  168. That is a steep price right around Christmas time.

    ReplyDelete
  169. JoMo!


    And he keeps attacking HBK/Holly and running away scared from UT lol

    ReplyDelete
  170. Shoot Interview Poll is up

    http://vote.pollcode.com/25185967

    ReplyDelete
  171. The Wizard was the worst, IMO

    ReplyDelete
  172. I was going to make a rebuttal but no he was pretty awful. Oscar comes close but at least he rapped.

    ReplyDelete
  173. When did Nitro switch to Morrison?

  174. Big Bang Theory.....


    Holy Shit

    ReplyDelete
  175. Extant1979 - Mr. Cable AccessNovember 6, 2014 at 6:26 PM

    I wavered on Prop 3, because I think it might put an unfair fiscal burden on the state, but on the other hand, the tech improvements are desperately needed.


    Prop 1, in theory, is something that the State needs to clear up on the stupid shit that happens every 10 years with redistricting, but it was a half-assed measure because no one in power will actually allow shit to get straightened out.

    ReplyDelete
  181. What kb said.


    A regular campaign is Vote For Devin Harris
    A PAC is Americans For Tax Relief and Devin Harris just happens to support tax relief and they raise money and spend ads about tax relief and pointing out that Devin Harris' opponent is not for tax relief

    ReplyDelete
  182. I wnet back & read Scott's review of Rumble '08 and half the field is made up of guys who I thought had been booted years earlier. Hardcore Holly, Snitsky, Shelton Benjamin, Viscera, Chuck Palumbo....

    ReplyDelete
  183. I love thr idea of having a Shawn and taker match in between the rumble. This is pretty good.

    ReplyDelete
  184. Yeah I'm loving it so far
