Did you have any idea
that Roddy Piper showed up at Halloween Havoc to confront Hollywood Hogan? WCW’s
lack of coverage to this point is embarrassing, as this is clearly the biggest
story of the millennia. So, for you Joe Curious, here’s a clip that hasn’t
aired on any WCW programming to this point. Especially not the last two
episodes of Nitro and last week’s Saturday Night (and tomorrow’s Worldwide).
TONY SCHIAVONE will never forget Hogan’s face at Halloween Havoc when Piper showed
up. Neither will I, because they’re going to play it on every show from now
until 2085. DUSTY RHODES can’t
believe they met face to face, and promises to talk a lot more about this.
JUVENTUD GUERRERA and PSYCHOSIS vs. THE AMERICAN
MALES
There is nothing that
sucks the hope out of a potentially fantastic match than to hear the quiet
build to the American Males theme. Bagwell claps, Riggs claps, everyone’s got
the clap! No mention of the problems from Monday, and Bagwell’s super babyface
tonight by leading a You Ess Eh chant against these awful foreigners who …
well, haven’t actually done anything to anyone. Juvi hits Bagwell with a spin
kick, and delivers the chops. Bagwell responds with a powerbomb, because he’s
kind of a jerk. Riggs enters and misses a blind charge, allowing Psychosis to
tag in and immediately take a dropkick. Juvi tries to get involved, but Bagwell
dropkicks him, and they clothesline both guys to the floor. AND WE CLAP. Juvi
re-enters with a springboard missile dropkick, and the sheep in attendance boo.
Juvi Driver is on point, but instead of a pin he hits a People’s Elbow. Not
sure I understand your logic there, Juvi. Spin kick in the corner sets up a
springboard guillotine – but Bagwell moves and Juvi destroys his tailbone.
Bagwell tags out, and Riggs has clotheslines for everyone. Riggs bounces into
the ropes and knocks Bagwell to the floor by mistake, and Psychosis launches
himself with a flying body attack! Juvi’s right behind with a slingshot 360
guillotine, and Team Mexico wins at 4:39!!!
That was my shock of the day, and I could not be happier. ** Bagwell gets a
little mad, but offers his hands for a high 10 to ensure they’re cool, and they
are. Jian Ghomeshi recommends a little bit of hate fucking to clear those
problems right up.
JIM DUGGAN vs. STEVEN REGAL (for the WCW world
television title)
NICK PATRICK is assigned here, which probably bodes well for his lordship. You
may recall the Outsiders were instrumental in Regal claiming the TV title; but
he doesn’t appear to be associated with the nWo. Nick Patrick finds a roll of
tape in Duggan’s pants, and discards of it rightly. Duggan stomps around like a
retarded robot, and Regal hits the floor with bugged out eyes trying to
comprehend what’s happening. Once he figures it’s safe, he re-enters and hits
Duggan with a European uppercut. Duggan responds with a half dozen
clotheslines, and Regal hits the floor in the worst pain he’s ever suffered
based on his face. Back in, Patrick gets between them to give Regal a chance,
and as he moves Regal claws the eyes. More European uppercuts send Duggan
stomping around again. He throws some rock hard punches, but Regal pokes the
eyes and Duggan is blinded. Unable to see, he wanders around like Moses in the
desert, and since Regal is God, he parts Duggan’s eyes with a knee lift. Duggan
refuses to get his head slammed to the buckle (literally screaming
“NOOOOOOO!”), and slams Regal instead. Regal responds with a back elbow, but
misses a senton. Duggan tapes up his fist, and Patrick sees it immediately
throwing it out at 4:05. Regal is
decked regardless, but still the champion! Duggan points his board at Patrick’s
head, but he scoots away to the floor where Regal gently ensures he’s alright,
like the gentleman that he is. *1/2
TONY SCHIAVONE checks in with Duggan, and immediately makes me long for the still
missing Mean Gene. Apparently he’s sick to his stomach about Nick Patrick
(Duggan, not Gene). He says the only flag he salutes is the red white and blue,
and not Nick Patrick. What the hell is he talking about? He throws out a
message to his good friend Terry Hogan (who?), and orders him to shoot straight
with him going forward, or he’ll beat him up. I don’t find it fair that he’s
able to utter these threats without letting this alleged Terry Hogan reply.
DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE vs. ICE TRAIN (with Teddy
Long)
This is a rematch from
Nitro, right down to the referee, NICK
PATRICK. Train had Page beat on Monday until an untimely shoulder injury
stopped Patrick’s ability to count, and the Outsiders sealed the win with an
assist for Page. Dusty actually brings up Page’s past history with Hall and
Nash, which I believe is the first time WCW has brought this up. Train hits the
Train Wreck almost right away, but Page actually kicks out on a fair 2 count.
Page comes back with a boot to the face, and a clothesline to take Train down.
The pancake gets 2, and Train accidentally hits Patrick’s shoulder on his
kickout. Patrick doesn’t sell it, but he could just be putting on a tough face
for all of us; let’s keep our eyes on this. A headlock is worked, but Train has
no neck so I don’t really see the point. A swinging neckbreaker gives Page time
to head to the top, but Train crotches him HARD. Those plums done turned purple
on that one. Train pulls Page off the top by the hair, and faceplants him. 10
head shots to the buckle set up a powerslam, but Patrick’s way out of position
so it takes an extra second to count, exactly what Page needs to kick out. Page
digs in his tights for something, and Long starts freaking the hell out!
Patrick goes over to find out what Long’s problem is, as he’s hollering and
pointing at Page. Of course, DDP levels Train with no problems, and by the time
Patrick checks, Page is already on top for the easy win at 5:08. *1/2 Dusty speculates there’s “some cahootin’ goin’ on”. Long
loses his mind on Patrick, but Nick tells him if he’d stayed in his damn corner
maybe he’d have seen it. “YOU WASN’T LOOKIN’!” Long tells Patrick he’s no
longer the man he used to know, as Gotye songs start going off in my head.
THE AMAZING FRENCH CANADIANS vs. HARLEM HEAT (with
Sista Sherri)
The Canadians demand the
anthem be played, but they’re greeted with Harlem Heat’s music instead. No
matter, they sing the National Anthem anyway, though I WISH they’d tried to
keep it on beat with the music because that would have been amazing. No Colonel
Parker, because slavery ended 100 years ago. A donnybrook erupts immediately,
with everyone trading punches! There’s some feelings here, not seen since the
best of 401 series between Harlem Heat and Rough & Ready. Stevie Ray drops
an elbow on Ouellette, which is unfortunate because that means he’s run through
his whole moveset already. Booker hits the flying jalapeno, but isn’t able to
follow up because Rougeau pulls him to the floor. The Frenchmen work over
Booker in the corner, and Ouellette builds up some steam with a quadrouple rope
bounce before hammering Booker with a clothesline. Rougeau works a camel
clutch, and by god, COLONEL ROBERT
PARKER shows up! Ouellette misses the assisted senton as Parker goes to
talk to Sherri, and he’s a world of emotion, not even stopping to mop his brow.
Parker jumps on the apron to cheer his boys on, but Sherri decks him! Parker
threatens to knock her back to the 1800’s, but Harlem Heat dives to the floor
to whoop the massa. That gets them counted out at 3:01, but it doesn’t matter. Stevie says the Colonel has a major
malfunction threatening to hit a woman. Tune in next week for their public
hanging. *
HUGH MORRUS vs. CHRIS BENOIT (with Woman)
Benoit’s shoulder is
still taped, and NICK PATRICK’s neck
is still in a brace. Morrus comes out clubberin’, and Dusty doesn’t even call
it! Woman’s powers of distraction are truly amazing. An avalanche has Benoit
gasping for air, but Morrus spends too long posing and gets dropkicked in the
knee. He goes right for it, working it over in the ropes. A dragon screw has
Morrus limping around, and Benoit keeps kicking away at the knee.
Unfortunately, he gets too close, and eats a shoulderbreaker. A clothesline
sends Morrus up top, but Patrick’s standing in the way checking Benoit. Morrus
drops down to scream at him to move, letting Woman rake the eyes! Belly to
belly overhead with a bridge scores the win at 3:35. **
MAXX
and BIG BUBBER attack post-match,
and with Morrus behind him, Benoit’s outnumbered. He does a good job fending
them off, until Bubba catches him and slams him spine first over the guardrail!
Jeezus man! KEVIN SULLIVAN and JIMMY HART hit the scene, and Sullivan
kicks him in the ribs repeatedly. Bubba gives Benoit two more Rock Bottom’s
directly on top of the guardrail! The fans start reaching over to try and pull
Benoit to safety, but he’s property of the DoD now, and they’re feasting like
dogs. Great segment, and Benoit’s a sick man taking those bumps.
TONY SCHIAVONE demands to know what the heck was up with that? Jimmy says that a 20
second phone call from Nancy started this, and it’s proof that nobody should
ever trust a woman. Sullivan demands to know where Benoit’s cavalry is. Sullivan
says he’s not soft, and he can’t wait to feed it to Benoit again in Baltimore.
Elsewhere, MIKE TENAY wants JEFF JARRETT’s thoughts on the lack of a leader in WCW. Jarrett
says he’s ready to lead the Four Horsemen, and he’s going to prove it at World
War 3. Jarrett reminds everyone the Giant hasn’t chokeslammed him yet, and he
won’t.
REY MYSTERIO JR. vs. DEAN MALENKO (for the WCW
world cruiserweight title)
This is a hell of a match
to be giving away on this show, but I ain’t complaining. Winner gets Psychosis
at World War 3. Rey starts in with dropkicks immediately, and packages Malenko
for 2. Before we can get too involved, we turn things over to …
Words from PSYCHOSIS! Hell yes! He bangs out about
the 3 English words he knows, “you and me, Cruiserweight title” before
reverting to Spanish. I like to think it was planned that way, but I used to
co-ordinate interviews for my company, and I’ve seen on more than one occasion
candidates pretending to be bilingual and giving me answers in much the same
vein as Psychosis just did. Though to be fair, Psychosis’ English was better
than theirs often was.
Back in the ring,
Malenko’s regained control and is flattening Rey with the double leg slam. A
delayed brainbuster gets 2. To the mat we go, where Malenko locks on a grounded
version of the abdominal stretch. He releases, and hits a backbreaker for 2.
Rey gets kicked to the floor, which is probably the best place for him because
Dean isn’t hitting him out there. Rey scoots back in, taking a fireman’s carry
into a gutbuster smoothly. Deano goes for the electric chair, but that’s about
the worst position to put Rey in, because he rolls forward and takes them both
to the floor. Malenko rolls Rey back in first, which is once again a mistake,
because Rey dropkicks him off the apron as he’s coming in, before flattening
him with tope suicida!! Back in, Rey hits a springboard sunset flip for 2.
Malenko is angry, and hits a tigerbomb for 2. Rey delivers a back elbow, and
pops up to the top with a sky twisting bodyblock for 2. He tries to finish with
the West Coast Pop, but Dean hooks the shoulders and backslides Rey for the pin
at 5:31. While I could bear to let
these guys chill out without a rematch for awhile, they have great chemistry
and this was no exception. ***1/2
TONY SCHIAVONE wants to interview the champ about his upcoming match with Psychosis.
Malenko tells Psychosis he’s giving him an opportunity to prove himself to
Mexico, but not to kid himself, he’ll still be champion. Let’s take the
microphone away from Malenko in the future.
Meanwhile, on nWo
Saturday Night, we continue the Cruiserweight tournament…
THE BOUNTY HUNTER
Height: 6’5”
Weight: A lean 325 lbs.
Reach: 35”
Fist: 16”
Hometown: Oakland, CA
Pro Record: 52-12
Voted Most Likely to
Offend
Way Big for a
Cruiserweight
KEVIN NASH welcomes us to a sold out arena (surrounded by completely empty
seats). TED DIBIASE is your ring
announcer, DOCTOR X is the referee,
and SCOTT HALL joins Nash on
commentary.
THE BOUNTY HUNTER vs. SYXX (in a Cruiserweight
tournament match)
Nash figures Bounty
Hunter hasn’t showered in 10-15 days to get that level of buildup in his hair.
Regarding the Bounty Hunter, Nash sums it up with: “This man looks horrible!”
The Outsiders move to golf-style commentary, with whispering. Bounty Hunter shoves
Syxx knocking off his bandana, which is a big mistake. Hunter pounds Syxx in
the corner, but misses an avalanche and Syxx kicks him a dozen times. 3
straight spin kicks drops him in the corner, and then chokes him in the ropes
in front of the announce team, who take turns slapping him. Hall: “Don’t you
run your mouth to me Bounty Hunter, or I’ll put you in the tag-team
tournament!” Nash: “I have two words for you: eat salad!” Syxx hits an early
version of the Bronco buster, with just one big penis thrust – still not
perfected! Syxx drops the straps, as Nash declares him the house of proverbial
fire! Spinning heel kick scores the pin.
The Outsiders want a word
with the victor, but mostly so Nash can throw a parting shot at the Bounty
Hunter. Syxx thought he was in trouble when his bandana got knocked off, but
he’s a swinger baby, and you don’t mess with a swinger. Does Chyna know?
MAXX vs. LEX LUGER
We actually saw this
match once before on the May 27
edition of Nitro, but it may have been overshadowed by something else. You
know, if I’m Maxx, I’m a little bothered the Dungeon can’t be bothered to send
me back up. Hart is always ringside for the Faces of Fear. Braun the Leprechaun
frequently tries to eat referees anytime Kevin Sullivan is present. But Maxx?
Always the bridesmaid. Lex tries a shoulderblock to no avail, but after picking
up a little steam on the second go, it works. And so we ROAR! A pair of slams
set up some sort of leaping something, but Maxx lifts his knees, and Luger’s
hurt. Oh no! Will he be able to come back and win? Could this be the era of
Maxx? Maxx stomps Lex by the ropes, and delivers a powerslam for 2. He was 1
second away from main eventing Starrcade, don’t kid yourself. Maxx argues with
the referee, giving Luger a chance to small package him for 2. A clothesline
sets up the inevitable Rack, and Maxx taps at 3:07. 1/2*
We close by re-airing the
entire Hogan interview from Nitro, but you and I already saw this, so no need
to talk about it.
Tony believes, deep in
his heart of hearts, that Hogan wants no part of Roddy Piper. This Tony
Schiavone is something of a visionary, I think he might be on to something. And
they sign us off, telling us to remember to check out Nitro.
SurSer 96, the event that becomes the prelude to Attitude era.
ReplyDeleteThis guy's having a tough day.

Fuck that asshole who stole that ball in that Bengals - Saints game
ReplyDeleteGreat show.
ReplyDeleteMSG turns on HBK.
ReplyDeletehttp://failblog.cheezburger.com/page/20?ref=pagination
ReplyDeleteVince McMahon's new favorite cookbook.
Classic show. Rock's debut, Austin/Bret, Sid/Shawn, Taker/Mankind and a really good opener to boot.
ReplyDeleteYeah what a dick. But that woman is going to get some free Bengals tix and an autographed team ball from Cinci, though.
ReplyDeleteSo for a college campus, the Starbucks on UPenn's campus seems to have an awful lot of homeless people in it.
ReplyDeleteThe most important, Austin starts his push as a star, HBK gets booed out of MSG. It's really the event that set the stage for AE.
ReplyDeleteGot to go harder for the ball. Should have thrown some elbows. She'll learn.
ReplyDeleteCrazy a few weeks ago it looked like the Chiefs were gonna miss the playoffs and now all they need to do is beat Oakland and they'll have the division lead.
ReplyDeleteShawn getting booed is the best. Sid is so excited he plays himself like a face at some points.
ReplyDeleteWHO'S THE MAN!
ReplyDeleteIf her name is Mary, then that's the definition of a Fail Mary.
ReplyDeleteThem and Detroit are both sneaky good teams right now.
ReplyDeleteThe entire aisle points at him when he asks that. It's surreal.
ReplyDeleteLions offense is such a mess though. SUCH a mess
ReplyDeleteIv always found the Bret/Austin match to be overrated. Just my opinion, of course.
ReplyDeleteOne last time, FUCK those ref's in Arizona. That is all.
ReplyDeleteThat call on the punt at the 1-yard line that negated the 50 yard return was some bullshit
ReplyDeleteLast night, I went to a wedding for a female friend of mine. I have known both of them for years because we are in the same social group. It had a weird vibe the entire night. No bouquet/garter toss. The groom does not have that many family or friends so he basically only had 1.5 tables but the bride had about 8. Almost everyone in the social group came to see her get married and not the groom. During the money dance, she had a long line; he had only 4 people. Very few people on the dance floor. Everyone started leaving about 9:00 and it ended about 10.
ReplyDeleteYikes...sounds like snoozeville.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a pretty boring wedding. Is said groom a mean person because that's a laughable amount of guests.
ReplyDeleteLOL...a great title, though.
ReplyDeleteHe's not mean; just standoffish. For example, a bunch of us would get together for lunch and he would barely say anything.
ReplyDeleteYou're insane in the membrane.
ReplyDeleteThey both did, I think.
ReplyDeleteI gotcha. Nothing wrong with being quiet.
ReplyDeleteI love MSG for wrestling. Some of the best atmospheres.
ReplyDeleteThis Leif Cassidy guy looks like he'll get ahead in the late 90s.
ReplyDeleteWell, TNA is going to live despite being on a terrible network.
ReplyDeleteEven that douchebag Mike Perrera agreed and he hates Detroit. How is it that he's "down" after touching the ball at the one, yet if he would have completed pitching it to his guy at the 4 yard line it would have been ok.
ReplyDeleteThen you have this.
NOT a first down: http://i.imgur.com/ZNjMjUt.jpg

Oh god Clarence Mason
ReplyDeleteDid they formalize an announcement?
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LY4YcbyDxJw
ReplyDeleteSounds like a bad wedding.
ReplyDeleteIt's said that they are very close to signing a deal with Discover America, which is only shown to 50 percent of the USA.
ReplyDeleteGoing off a comment below: what is a universally beloved match that you think is overrated? For me: punk/cena mitb.
ReplyDeleteNice spin.
ReplyDeleteJericho/HBK at WM 19.
ReplyDeleteMark Sanchez was who I thought he was. Ya'll want to crown him then go ahead and crown him
ReplyDeleteLol will it come after the BBQ competition show?
ReplyDeleteI saw it coming as well
ReplyDeleteCongrats to WWF1987. Sounds like TNA is getting a deal.
ReplyDeleteDid he broker the deal himself?
ReplyDeleteMy stepsister who I never see because of distance just got married. I feel bad it's barely a blip on my radar
ReplyDeleteThey should just admit failure instead of keep losing money. They haven't made a dime in 12 years, now they're not even on Spike TV.
ReplyDeletehttp://s3.amazonaws.com/rapgenius/1359223883_big-ass-booty-girls-photos_39.jpg
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite asses on the interwebs...
Oh, jeez, my mother-in-law is starting to act nice to my wife, which means she probably wants something big that is going to make my heart hurt. I hate in-laws, DAMN IT. lol
ReplyDeleteNope; we all know someone that is basically that quiet one who barely says anything and after years of knowing them, you barely know anything about them
ReplyDeleteFree bathroom use?
ReplyDeleteIf so it sounds like he did a great job. Destination America!
ReplyDeleteWho says they are losing money?
ReplyDeleteBob Carter's business.
ReplyDeleteI would just like to say, whoever is choosing that music for that tournament is a fucking goon.
ReplyDeleteLink?
ReplyDeleteThis is how I imagine my wedding turning out....
ReplyDeleteThe Godwinns pulling out the old Funk brothers move to soften the blow in the corner. Heel JR sucks.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine: http://i.vimeocdn.com/video/440742365_640.jpg
ReplyDeleteLet's hope she doesn't want a tofurkey for Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteObserver has reported their yearly profits. They made a small profit in 2008. They've lost a ton each other year.
ReplyDeleteI guess so, as well as sit around and randomly yell at people use.
ReplyDeleteSurvivor SEries 1996? I'm putting it on now. Cool that it is on the live stream.
ReplyDeleteOwen/Bret. Either one from 94. I like their WM match but actively hate the cage match.
ReplyDeleteIt's the beginning of holiday season... My bet is it has something to do with Thanksgiving or Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for our first BAAAAAAAAAACK BODY DROP.
ReplyDeleteAny Undertaker vs. HHH match...but I wouldn't say they are universally beloved.
ReplyDeleteObserver is your source? LOL nice. No financial reports. No books. No facts. Just basing it off of if a billion dollar company that runs tons of other stuff is making money or not. Hmm, OK then.
ReplyDeleteMy cousin is marrying a good friend of mine next month, and based on the bachelor party I went to for the groom and my sisters going out with my cousin for the bachelorette party last night, this wedding is going to be the greatest shit show of all time.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you hate the cage match?
ReplyDeleteIt didn't look good after the first month, but my Packers/Patriots SB prediction looks a hell of a lot better now
ReplyDeleteI JUST finished SurSer 1998, so going by my reverse chrono list, the screwjob is next on my list. But I just watched that recently, too, it feels, so I may skip it and head right into 1996 instead.
ReplyDeleteIt's rather well-known that TNA has lost a ton of money. But okay.
ReplyDeleteWell-known fact from whom?
ReplyDeleteTriple H can't rassle
ReplyDeletePERFECT dropkick from Owen.
ReplyDeleteIt bores me. Yes I get that it's escape rules so logically it makes sense that they should attempt to climb out whenever possible. Problem is, it's completely boring watching them try and climb out of the cage for 30 minutes.
ReplyDeleteYou're finally getting back into the good Survivor Series'.
ReplyDeleteI imagine it's hard to keep track of family stuff when you're traveling the world, defending that C+ title.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of which...I want a re-match.
What channel?
ReplyDeleteRG III just threw his team under the bus. Wow!
ReplyDeleteI KNOW! Should be blowing through these last 10 before the weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat'd he say?!
ReplyDeleteSurvivor Series was such a fun show in the 90's and the 80's.
ReplyDeleteDid you watch it live? Because, man...that shit was terrifying as Owen kept on coming back and was so close to beating Bret on several occasions. Not trying to change your mind but context was important for that match.
ReplyDeleteSkins would be much better with McCoy.
ReplyDeleteWhere do they make money? They signed so many former wrestlers, they ran a lot of shows in universal, they papered tons of events, they lost tons taking impact on the road, their PPV business was dreadful. Did their Spike deal overcome that? I don't think so.
ReplyDeleteOne guy can't do it himself. Peyton, Manning etc can't have a good game when the other guys don't play well
ReplyDeleteYou think the problem is RG3 or the system he is in?
ReplyDeleteKroffat busting out some All Japan shit off the top rope.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine this is going to go over well. Gruden probably wants to play him but I doubt it's his call
ReplyDeleteI didn't watch it live but I watched it without knowing the winner and having enjoyed their WM match, and being a huge Bret fan. The match just didn't work for me. The psychology of the match is sound but it isn't entertaining for me to watch.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure his teammates will appreciate that.
ReplyDeleteOK, so you have no proof. Gotcha.
ReplyDeleteHe and Furnas tore the house down in AJPW.
ReplyDeleteThat's fair. I watched it live and it blew me away with the suspense.
ReplyDeleteDavey-Bret Summerslam 92
ReplyDeleteYou celebrating the good news?
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of weed are you smoking to make you say that out loud? That dude just baffles me.
ReplyDeleteThe reverse superplex wasn't being used in the US in 1996. It's too bad he and Furnas were brand new and didn't get the response here.
ReplyDeleteHis career was over the second his knee imploded in that playoff game. He's not a good enough passer or intelligent enough to make it without the explosive speed.
ReplyDeleteIf I were married to Carrie Underwood Id make her wear that skirt dress in bed
ReplyDeleteIts good for TNA they are still in business but bad for the wrestling industry.
ReplyDeleteIf I were married to Carrie Underwood Id let her wear whatever she wanted

ReplyDeleteDid you guys win your bball game yesterday?
I'm tired but it's way too early to go to bed.I think I'm going to bow out on sports and watch "The Good Wife" instead. Good Wife fans where you at? Holla if ya hear me
ReplyDeleteWhat is this skirt dress?
ReplyDeleteYou also missed the part where he said it takes eleven guys and not one.
ReplyDeleteWhy would you have her wear anything in bed? You gay or something?
ReplyDeleteSounds like he wants out of there.
ReplyDeleteI watched the first couple of seasons.

ReplyDeleteMore like the Great Wife!
ReplyDelete...I've never seen it
Beat them 82 to 55. If that team sucked and only had 5 guys too.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind just throwing my new Seinfeld DVDs in the bedroom player and watch those while reading some comics. I'm wiped for some reason.
ReplyDeleteTNA reups
ReplyDeleteGood god, it's been like six weeks now. Can we stop with the everyone thought the Patriots were dead narrative already?
ReplyDeleteTNA... not gonna die?
ReplyDeleteSigh, there goes a fair chunk of GWF's potential roster. And the crap will continue.
Thank you for this link from over a year and a half ago.
ReplyDeleteBeing on TV > Not being on TV
ReplyDeleteI did laundry this morning but it's been football all day long. I'm burned out which is weird coming from me.
ReplyDeleteI'm applying for a job and they ask me to list ten reasons why I would be a great person for the job.
ReplyDeleteCan't I just write my usual cover letter? Fuck.
TNA re-upped with Spike? I thought the most recent rumors were Destination America?
ReplyDeleteSheesh man. Refs didn't even make a difference!
ReplyDelete#1 - Buttafuoco, Buttafuoco, Buttafuoco!
ReplyDeleteSo their situation has improved in the last year?
ReplyDeleteYeah, applying and taking interviews for a job is such a pain in the ass that I never enjoy.
ReplyDeleteYes destination america. Reuped for tv
ReplyDeleteAgree with art on this one. That match bored me to no end. The rules hurt them and they did what they could with it. Pretty much all escape rules in the blue cage stink.
ReplyDeleteOh hohoho!
ReplyDeleteKids dad actually recused himself and we just used one ref.
ReplyDeleteI'm not saying it has. I'm just not saying it hasn't either. They've cut a TON of money from contracts off the books and removed a ton of expenses.
ReplyDeleteThey're private. Anyone who reports is purely speculating. No way to know for sure.
ReplyDeleteWorks for me. I read they might be getting additional content as well.
ReplyDeleteAs a guy who does hiring now... sometimes I make people jump through hoops to see if they really want the job. I don't want anyone working for me that doesn't want to be there at 100% every day.
ReplyDeleteReason number 10: I want this job enough to come up with 9 other reasons for your stupid fucking list
ReplyDeleteSounds like they've got it all turned around. Let's hope they don't blow it.
ReplyDeleteThey want you to do that in writing? That's a bit awkward.
ReplyDelete[RAMS PARK, EARTH CITY MO]
ReplyDeleteLes Snead: THREE FIRST ROUND PICKS!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
They don't sell tickets.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's basically a replacement for the cover letter.
ReplyDeleteJesus fucking christ start the fucking game already.
ReplyDeleteYou must be doing Survivor Series '96?
ReplyDeleteIf it's a job you don't really care about getting then tell them to ask 10 female members of their family.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty gay. I'd have moved on to another application over that shit.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good way to ensure they get original stuff and not generic covers, I guess.
ReplyDeleteI hate reading cover letters when I'm hiring, almost as much as I hate writing them when I'm applying for jobs.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm gonna watch WWE Armageddon 2008. And the game.
ReplyDeleteI've seen the people they hire at this place. It's a certified Apple retailer in the city, and they've hired some dumb fucks that prevented my MacBook from getting properly repaired for OVER A YEAR.
ReplyDeleteYup. This UT - Mankind snoozefest is the perfect time to go grab a bite.
ReplyDeleteTom Brady has 2 bad games and they are acting like he is about to retire.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious if it would be better for TNA/ROH/Jarrett's company to try to get on netflix, youtube, and/or hulu instead of some shitty cable channel.
ReplyDeleteI might spend 5 seconds tops on a cover letter on the first read through... and about 30 seconds on a resume. From there they either go in the garbage or on my desk, and I'll give them a second look. The I only call my top 10% for an interview.
ReplyDeleteWonder if someone keeps stats on winning percentage of teams that defer and kick away vs teams that just lose the toss and kick off
ReplyDeleteI will say I hope Jim Ross is very involved in getting this promotion off the ground.
ReplyDeleteHaha I wish. I'm trying to get out of my current job and this job is in a better location, plus better pay and better hours.
ReplyDeleteSince someone mentioned Dan Kroffat, here's him defending the AJPW Jr. Heayweight title against RVD.

Wasn't netflix rumor du jour for a wrestling company within the past year?

ReplyDeletewell, good luck. I been with my company for 8 years partly b/c I don't want to go through the interview process anymore. Keep us posted.
ReplyDeleteWhat advice do you have for any person seeking a job nowadays? As a teacher, I want to spread this knowledge to my students.
ReplyDeleteEvidently Marc Mero is coming to C Town for surgery.
ReplyDeleteWonder what kind of heart surgery he is having...
ReplyDeleteI had a former colleague approach me about coming to work for him. It was basically a done deal, but I had to do the HR thing as a formality.
ReplyDeleteEven though I had emailed copies to my friend (the hiring manager), and to an HR drone directly, they made me cut and paste my resume into a web form instead of just uploading my pdf.
In the end we couldn't come to terms on a salary and the whole thing falls apart. Then a couple of weeks later he comes back saying that he'd found me another position that would meet my asking salary, and puts me in touch with THAT manager who I also emailed my resume, and then emailed it again to the HR drone that SHE cc'ed. I then had a phone call from her asking me to go to their website and cut and paste my resume on there before we proceeded.
The long and the short is that applying for jobs sucks, and HR people make things needlessly complicated just to justify their existence.
The same doc did Jeff Green of the Celtics heart surgery.
ReplyDeleteA valve transplant.
ReplyDeleteWhat did he say?
ReplyDeleteSomething we are good at!
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, you have a position basically handed to you and you're complaining about having to do a little extra work.
ReplyDeleteGonna get his ribs cut open because of this.
ReplyDeleteI'm really torn on Mero's place in wrestling history.
ReplyDeleteI am a product of 2 successful heart surgeries from Rainbow!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if his condition is similar to mine.
ReplyDeleteI think Belichick is more interested in proving how smart he is than winning games. It's sits around and says watch me turn this nobody into a player instead of saying let's find players that will help win a title.
ReplyDeleteSeems like Jeff got good results from it.
ReplyDeleteOr even mine.
ReplyDeleteI thought he was awful to start out, got good at the end of his time in WCW and stayed good til he got hurt.
ReplyDeleteWill do.
ReplyDeleteIt's like he talks too long at the podium. He's what happens when you let someone talk without cutting them off and he just rambles and digs himself deeper and deeper graves.
ReplyDeleteI think he maxed out his talent. Injuries derailed him a bit but he wasn't going any higher on the card.
ReplyDeleteNo prob. Alarming statistics.
ReplyDeleteI guess that's true. Still a pain in the ass though.
ReplyDeleteBut the second one was just an in, not a sure thing. I'm sure that she had the position out to headhunters.
Then he kind of pissed all over it doing all those TV shows burying pro wrestling while caked in makeup.
ReplyDeleteI think they did this year. More than usual anyways.
ReplyDeleteto summarize he said that he doesn't suck, it's the other 10 guys that sucks.
ReplyDeleteHe found God and speaking poorly on wrestling wasn't very Christian of him. I remember seeing him after the Benoit tragedies and being shocked because I hadn't seem him since he left the WWF.
ReplyDeleteHe's obsessed with convincing people that he's not a bust that he has to bury other guys to make himself look good.
ReplyDeleteI'm just saying, how much effort does it really take to copy and paste your resume on their website. Like 10 seconds' work?
ReplyDeleteMake sure you answer every question in a job interview with a couple real life examples. If you can't draw from experience, I know you're not much of a thinker or problem solver. Those two skills will get you more than most.
ReplyDeleteIt's unnecessary. It's just hoop jumping for the sake of itself.
ReplyDeleteBud Select 55... light on calories... big on farts.
ReplyDeleteHe was nothing without the Wildman gimmick and that shit could only get him so far.
ReplyDeleteWhen he first came into the WWE, I fully expected him to be capable of having a pretty decent run with the IC title though.
Hey WWF1987, you see the new Botchomania?
ReplyDeletebiggest question i hate in interviews: what's your biggest strength/weakness?
ReplyDeleteThere are any number of job applications online that requires you to upload your resume and then add in all the info from your resume onto parts of the rest of the form. Absolutely unnecessary.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but you're guaranteed a position and everything else is a formality with the salary you wanted. Hard to complain about having to do a tiny bit extra for all that.
ReplyDeleteA good example of a solid midcard guy with a very limited ceiling.
ReplyDeleteFour bad games. I know cause he's my fantasy QB. Of course, in those games, Gronk was still working back to playing full time, Brady needed to get a rapport with LaFell and the O-line had to gel without Mankins. They did all that and now, same ol Brady and Pats
ReplyDelete*cries* THATS MY TEAMMATE THATS MY QUARTERBACK
Yeah, I don't ask those. But if you do ever get asked those, just make sure you follow your weakness with, "and it's something I'm aware of and working on."
