You know what was weird about Cain and Abel? Abel raised animals and slaughtered them and God liked it, but Cain harvested crops and all types of fruits and vegetables and God was like "eh, big deal, that ain't no sacrifice". Like, no wonder Cain got bitter and knocked Abel the fuck out.
I always love the Friday night thread. Very chill. I'm just enjoying a nice lentil soup counting down the minutes until Shark tank. Drinking some screw drivers. Snow Queen vodka and fresh squeezed OJ. We just having a good time!
I hadn't seen it in a while and saw the DVD lying around. To think they got several more films and a whole other franchise out of that alien head sighting.
I have yet to watch a full episode of NXT. This is going to get my smark card revoked but I actually prefer Raw over that. Nothing wrong with it but it's way too insulated for me.
Prime Time from 11/11/86 is up in two parts. You should probably watch Part 1 first, because that leads directly into Part 2, ya know?
Jacques Rougeau vs. The Iron Sheik; Jumpin' Jim Brunzell vs. Mike Rotundo; Davey Boy Smith vs. Greg "the Hammer" Valentine; SD "Special Delivery" Jones vs. Moondog Spot; Islander Haku vs. Nikolai Volkoff; Islander Tama vs. Moondog Rex; The Dynamite Kid vs. Jim "the Anvil" Neidhart; Super Machine vs. King Kong Bundy; all matches from MSG 10/20/86.
That gives it the territory feel though. Difference is the top guy hardly ever left and that's really the only person that leaves NXT. Good thing is that means the top spot is free for the next guy.
Deadspin has the odds from a bunch of British sportsbooks, the odds are all over the place, but all have Pac as a big underdog. I'm more curious what the PPV will cost. $100 is a conservative estimate I'd think.
I also think it's the strongest roster they ever had. Legit ME guys in Bret, Shawn, Taker. Stars on the rise in Kane, Austin, Rock, and Foley. Capable and over midcarders like Owen, Bulldog, Shamrock, Farooq.
Not only here but at Stampede too, Goldust - a perverse movie loving weirdo - defending the honor of the United States. Seems appropriate for 1997 America, though.
Mankind still has the window as his spotlight logo, even though "Mankind was a child prodigy at the piano and his mother kept breaking his fingers if he misplaced a note and kept him locked in the basement" was gone by the wayside in favor of lovable weirdo Mick Foley by this point.
Yes, the video package includes the clip of Kane post-Flash Funk destruction (I think) when he titled his head at the camera a la Michael Myers and the mask perfectly hung off his face to the point that it appeared there were no eyes behind the mask. LOVED that, hehe.
So Kurt Busch has been suspended indefinitely. I fully support cracking down on guys that commit domestic violence, but the guy hasn't even been charged with anything.
Maybe it's because I grew up in the world capital of pizzerias, but I'm just burnt out on pretty much everything you can get at a pizza joint. I would much rather have French toast or pancakes.
This is more of a serious thing. I'm sick of religious zealots screaming everyday what people should do, and to make matters worse they are slowly turning things into a theocracy.
It is so nice up here this evening. I was worried it was going to rain. One thing oracle needs is better restaurants near by. That and a 2am flight back to SD would make these trips way better.
Can't agree more, particularly a poster on this site. I'm all for freedom of religion. But keep your fucking religion (or lack thereof, a lot of atheists are just as bad if not worse) to yourself.
It's not looking good. Wizards haven't played well recently, in addition to a tough schedule. Beal is out for an indefinite period of time until the doctors know more about it.
Chicago has been up and down. What's a major concern is that their defense is not getting better now that Noah is back. They haven't been able to figure it out with Gasol and Noah on the defensive end. Thibs is overworking his players as usual, and Rose doesn't trust his body yet. There's not a lot of time left to figure it out until the Playoffs.
Paul E Dangerously and Arn Anderson vs Rick Steiner Hardy Boyz vs Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar Edge vs Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman (WWE title match) Paul Heyman vs Brock Lesnar (steel cage match) Paul Heyman vs CM Punk Paul Heyman and Ryback vs CM Punk (Hell in a Cell)
Friday Night Nerd.
ReplyDeleteYour persistence is awesome.
ReplyDeleteYou know what was weird about Cain and Abel? Abel raised animals and slaughtered them and God liked it, but Cain harvested crops and all types of fruits and vegetables and God was like "eh, big deal, that ain't no sacrifice". Like, no wonder Cain got bitter and knocked Abel the fuck out.
ReplyDeleteSerious motivation for that heel turn.
ReplyDeleteWe are finally done with the freezing temperatures. Back to the descent level of 31 which seems reasonable now.
ReplyDeleteAdmission: I hate Enzo, Cass and especially Carmella. Hate the gimmick, hate it all.
ReplyDeleteAppreciative nerd.
ReplyDeleteAnd you can't teach that?
ReplyDeleteI always love the Friday night thread. Very chill. I'm just enjoying a nice lentil soup counting down the minutes until Shark tank. Drinking some screw drivers. Snow Queen vodka and fresh squeezed OJ. We just having a good time!
ReplyDeleteBiblical nerd.
ReplyDeleteWell, my PC had it's first blue screen of death earlier. Don't know if I should be worried or proud that it finally happened after 4 years.
ReplyDeleteThawing out nerd.
ReplyDeleteNerd-nerd.
ReplyDeleteThat don't impress me much nerd.
ReplyDeleteUsually happens when you have a lot of child porn.
ReplyDeleteChillaxing nerd.
ReplyDeleteYou would know nerd.
ReplyDeleteDamn microsoft nerd,
ReplyDeleteYou a nerdist tonight?
ReplyDeleteI keeps it classy. My toilets are push to flush.
ReplyDeleteChris hardwick is no nerd.
ReplyDeletePolice nerd.
ReplyDeleteEnzo is terrible. Cass will do ok.
ReplyDeletePoints!
ReplyDeleteWrestler, yes. As a talker, he's entertaining.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the new age nerd.
ReplyDeleteI have a bidet.
Water up my butt nerd.
Hygienic.
Home after DJing. Watching Predator 2 to wind down. It's poor but watchable.
ReplyDeleteA bidet? La di da!
ReplyDeletePredator 2 stinks.

ReplyDeleteSurvivor Series '97: GANG WARZ at 8?
ReplyDeleteThat's one of those weird shows that is super historically relevant but super boring all at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't seen it in a while and saw the DVD lying around. To think they got several more films and a whole other franchise out of that alien head sighting.
ReplyDeleteBOOOOOOOOOOOO
ReplyDeleteI have yet to watch a full episode of NXT. This is going to get my smark card revoked but I actually prefer Raw over that. Nothing wrong with it but it's way too insulated for me.
ReplyDeleteTreating myself nerd.

The only thing that really bugs me is knowing that the roster can change at any second.
ReplyDelete60 chicken nuggets, small pizza, and lots of Mountain Dew. I love the Papa John's Caps50 promo.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of fucking nuggets. Is it just yourself enjoying this buffet?
ReplyDeleteAlmost time. Cavs at Wizards. I hope the Zards pull it out, but without Beal this is going to be hard.
ReplyDeleteThat gives it the territory feel though. Difference is the top guy hardly ever left and that's really the only person that leaves NXT. Good thing is that means the top spot is free for the next guy.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy my buffets.
ReplyDeleteTried to watch Smackdown last night and Kane/Ryback put me to sleep. Gonna try to finish it tonight and have a review up in the morning.
ReplyDeleteI'm only half enjoying a chicken & bacon ranch sandwich from Subway.
ReplyDeleteI'm so tired of Subway, but it was right there where I was at the time and I was hungry.
Their quality has dropped by so much since the 90's.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kyrie, for your defense. Easy 2 for Wall.
ReplyDeleteAny idea what the opening line for Mayweather vs. Pacquiao will be? Probably Mayweather -300 or so?
ReplyDeleteThat sounds terrible.
ReplyDeleteYou are wrong. Something is wrong with it. Something is wrong with you
ReplyDeleteScrew boxing, go grab you some Prime Time, son!
ReplyDeleteI feel like this being a "dream match", the lines will be very conservative. -150 for Mayweather, +140 for Pacquiao or something like that.
ReplyDeleteEarly odds are 3-1
ReplyDeleteNo doubt it'll change, just by how much. I'm definitely curious to know how much will be bet on each boxer.
ReplyDeleteI'd laugh so hard if the fight lasted less than a round or two.
ReplyDeleteIt's wintry mix time! As I live atop a hill my car is parked for the evening. I'd rather it just snow.
ReplyDeleteI feelz ya. Just too much of the same for me. The variety of Raw is much needed but it's too long. 90-120 minutes and I'm good.
ReplyDeleteI watched Black Cole Sun again, the main event matches are **** in different styles.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.wwe.com/inside/wwe-addresses-cm-punk-allegations-27130843
ReplyDeleteI don't think there's any chance of that happening unless Mayweather gets caught.
ReplyDeleteOr if it happens, it's probably a dive.
Excellent news. OSW Review have started their 2001 Rumble to Mania arc: https://vimeo.com/120105946
ReplyDeleteDeadspin has the odds from a bunch of British sportsbooks, the odds are all over the place, but all have Pac as a big underdog. I'm more curious what the PPV will cost. $100 is a conservative estimate I'd think.
ReplyDeleteLOL!
ReplyDeleteIt is actually happening? Is there a date? I just ignored all the hype assuming they'd back out again.
ReplyDeleteWith a name like that I'm guessing PPV.
ReplyDeleteI also think it's the strongest roster they ever had. Legit ME guys in Bret, Shawn, Taker. Stars on the rise in Kane, Austin, Rock, and Foley. Capable and over midcarders like Owen, Bulldog, Shamrock, Farooq.
ReplyDeleteMay 2 in Vegas.
ReplyDeleteReally? I guess I'm going to be really wrong on this. My boxing isn't very good compared to my NBA. I'm pretty terrible about lines too.
ReplyDelete$100 for a PPV?!
ReplyDeleteI would consider it. That's how big this is.
ReplyDeleteWell, well. That's some dangerous ground for WWE to be treading.
ReplyDeleteHis last one was $85, and that was against some jobber he had beaten once before.
ReplyDeleteVince will get crazy now and make Mania $300.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's not porn.
ReplyDeleteNo buys!
ReplyDeleteI still need to watch this. Might watch it tonight.
ReplyDeleteThe new show has some new guys in the line up.
ReplyDeleteHmm. SS 97...anything notable ever happen there?
ReplyDeleteThe way the card is looking I wouldn't pay $3.
ReplyDeleteFurnas and LeFon on Team Canada, bursting with personality as always.
ReplyDeleteWizards are taking way too many bad shots, letting Cavs run and getting easy points.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm thinking of Michael Cole in a porn and I threw up in my mouth a little bit.
ReplyDeleteNot only here but at Stampede too, Goldust - a perverse movie loving weirdo - defending the honor of the United States. Seems appropriate for 1997 America, though.
ReplyDeleteWatching Leafs games has been awful for the last 2 months. Some of the worst hockey I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteExcuse me, all this time I've been calling this show GANG WARZ - the poster actually had GANG RULZ on it.
ReplyDeleteYou clearly haven't been watching Sabres games then. Actually, neither has anyone else.
ReplyDeleteNeeding to go to a shootout to beat the Sabres last week...man, that was delightful.
ReplyDeleteSABLE STAY chant after Mero gets eliminated, haha.
ReplyDeleteHa, that's fair. I remember when they put only 10 shots on goal against the Leafs back in the fall.
ReplyDeleteHad they not beaten Montreal a couple weeks ago they'd be on something like a 21 game losing streak.
ReplyDeleteGeez, the Avalanche suck too, but that least they're not a complete fucking embarrassment. The Sabres are the Sixers of hockey.
Hah, really. Wow. Well, at least the Sabres aren't going to go 0-fer everything after the all star break.
ReplyDeleteBrinner time. Because brinner is the greatest.
ReplyDeleteThey've won one game since Christmas. Though really it's in their best interests to suck.
ReplyDeleteMan, Forever Unchained Goldust suuuuuucked.
ReplyDeleteGoldust pretty sucked the entire time he was with WWF/E, outside of his most recent comeback. And even now he's adequate at best.
ReplyDeleteMankind still has the window as his spotlight logo, even though "Mankind was a child prodigy at the piano and his mother kept breaking his fingers if he misplaced a note and kept him locked in the basement" was gone by the wayside in favor of lovable weirdo Mick Foley by this point.
ReplyDelete-3 outside right now. Fuck...
ReplyDeleteYes, the video package includes the clip of Kane post-Flash Funk destruction (I think) when he titled his head at the camera a la Michael Myers and the mask perfectly hung off his face to the point that it appeared there were no eyes behind the mask. LOVED that, hehe.
ReplyDeleteRocky draw NUCLEAR heat from the Montreal crowd at Survivor Series. It's truly something to behold.
ReplyDeleteDevils were up 3-0 on Vancouver...3-2, 16:29 left...this season, I tells ya.
ReplyDeleteSo Kurt Busch has been suspended indefinitely. I fully support cracking down on guys that commit domestic violence, but the guy hasn't even been charged with anything.
ReplyDeleteThat again, fuck Kurt Busch, guy is an asshole.
Brinner plans changed the second the New York-style pizza place came into view. There is one thing better than brinner: PIZZA
ReplyDeleteFact.
ReplyDeleteDug the outstretched arms method of pinfall that Original Recipe Kane used.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's because I grew up in the world capital of pizzerias, but I'm just burnt out on pretty much everything you can get at a pizza joint. I would much rather have French toast or pancakes.
ReplyDeleteElectrocuted stuttering Goldust with Booker T was great.
ReplyDeleteNOD entrance is just the four members, waaah. Bring out the 21 hangers-on.
ReplyDeleteIf those guys would have taken some bumps like Faarooq said, they would still be there.
ReplyDeleteMore waaaah, only Shamrock and Hawk cut promos for the face squad. You don't pass up an opportunity for Ahmed promos!
ReplyDeleteWhite men can't jump. Kevin Love shorts an open dunk.
ReplyDeleteI think they all got canned by then.
ReplyDeleteI actually greatly prefer Chicago style, but NOBODY even tries it out here.
ReplyDeleteThey were broken up by then.
ReplyDeleteYeah, they didn't last long, but I always liked the hilarity of that look.
ReplyDeleteAhmed looks like a walking sofa with all the braces and pads he's wearing on his legs.
ReplyDeletePG-13 rapping them down to the ring always amused me.
ReplyDeleteBuffalo style is pretty close to Chicago style.
ReplyDeleteHe was about the size of the truck that delivered the sofa in WCW.
ReplyDelete"The Nation, their political views aside, that's fine...I have been very impressed how they work as a unit, these intelligent, talented wrestlers."
ReplyDeleteWhat is this treating everyone with respect for their abilities shit, JR?
Ahmed nails Rocky with an elbow smash, immediately celebrates by screaming unintelligible nonsense at the fans.
ReplyDeleteI don't think JR ever mentioned that Faroooq was an All American with Florida State, like he did for every Ron Simmons in WCW.
ReplyDeleteThis is more of a serious thing. I'm sick of religious zealots screaming everyday what people should do, and to make matters worse they are slowly turning things into a theocracy.
ReplyDeleteVince probably would have went ballistic if he had.
ReplyDeleteIt is so nice up here this evening. I was worried it was going to rain. One thing oracle needs is better restaurants near by. That and a 2am flight back to SD would make these trips way better.
ReplyDeleteHah, Lawler just said Faarooq "better show some of that Florida State speed" as Ahmed chased him back to the locker room.
ReplyDeleteShamrock was over like rover at this point.
ReplyDeleteIf you ever binge watch a few wcw shows from that era it goes from endearing to annoying very quickly
ReplyDeleteCan't agree more, particularly a poster on this site. I'm all for freedom of religion. But keep your fucking religion (or lack thereof, a lot of atheists are just as bad if not worse) to yourself.
ReplyDeleteI really wanted the wizards to win
ReplyDeletePosting from an NBA game. That's dedication.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen many Mid South shows, but I'm sure the audience knew that Steve Williams was a standout for Oklahoma.
ReplyDeleteBut the Artist Formerly Known as Goldust that came right after this was AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteA ton of ROCKY SUCKS chants, in both English and French.
ReplyDeleteLOL, a weird sound just came over. Lawler - "our illustrious sound man there, Kevin Dunn..."
ReplyDeleteThat chant seemed to fit perfectly with the Nation theme.
ReplyDeleteYeah, sure did.
ReplyDeleteSatan?
ReplyDeleteIt's not looking good. Wizards haven't played well recently, in addition to a tough schedule. Beal is out for an indefinite period of time until the doctors know more about it.
ReplyDeleteWatched WCW weekly from 1989 til Simmons left. Yeah, it became a matter of how soon in the match that JR would mention it.
ReplyDeleteNo, that one guy that's always preaching and complaining about people swearing.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, Satan is Islamophobic, homophobic and nazi apologist.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't do it all the time but he snuck it in there a few times. KotR 97 was one of them, I think
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't start for an hour so I gotta kill some time!
ReplyDeleteWho are they playing?
ReplyDeleteGood luck tonight man. I am a bit of an NBA nomad but I respect your dedication so I am all in on the Warriors this season.
ReplyDeleteShorty! Devils with some breathing room, just hang on.
ReplyDeleteSpurs. So the last two games I've been to have been so insane. I've seen both guards get 50. I'm ready for anything now
ReplyDeleteDodge Nitro just about blew up on my drive home. Shit.
ReplyDeleteShould be a good game.
ReplyDeleteThe new arena should do what you need.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping they squash then Mulkey bros style
ReplyDeleteUgh, Bulls struggling with the Pistons. Come on.
ReplyDeleteThis one is bad but it does have some of that old school basketball charm that makes it a little better.
ReplyDeletePiece of shit, that car.
ReplyDeleteWhere are they moving, San Jose?
ReplyDeleteChicago has been up and down. What's a major concern is that their defense is not getting better now that Noah is back. They haven't been able to figure it out with Gasol and Noah on the defensive end. Thibs is overworking his players as usual, and Rose doesn't trust his body yet. There's not a lot of time left to figure it out until the Playoffs.
ReplyDeleteToday I got out with some girl I had a crush months ago, I became her BFF now.
ReplyDeleteWere all those shots in the actualy 2014 Royal Rumble broadcast, or was there a camera specifically dedicated to filming CM Punk's ass?
ReplyDeleteYep, up and down all year long.
ReplyDeleteI would not mention this to the girlfriend.
ReplyDeleteOf course not. She knows I got out, but not the background between us.
ReplyDeleteSpurs on the back end of a back-to-back. Warriors better crush them.
ReplyDeleteBreakaway glass BOTCH
ReplyDeleteWhat does BFF stand for in Portuguese?
ReplyDeleteWe copied the english version.
ReplyDeleteStarting The Theory of Everything. So pumped.
ReplyDeleteOwen was almost as proud of that Owen 3:16 shirt as he was the two Slammys.
ReplyDeleteWould you purchase a "Paul Heyman's Greatest Matches" DVD?
ReplyDeleteWhat does BFF stand for in English?
ReplyDeleteSo nice that Owen's fuckup piledriver became 90% of his entrance video afterward.
ReplyDeleteFuck him
ReplyDeleteLike this?
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YHL3oxYcW4
BREAK HIS NECK chant. Canadians acting not so Canadian.
ReplyDeleteDrew McIntryre debuts on Impact.
ReplyDeleteBest friend forever.
ReplyDeleteYou mean, best promos?
ReplyDeleteThan yes.
Ah. My condolences. I thought we talking about Best Fuck Friend.
ReplyDeleteNo. Paul Heyman's Best Matches. As a Wrestling Participant.
ReplyDeleteSarcastic JR is Best JR. "Owen begging to be disqualified. Why, that's not right! That's not what a HART does! He's a CANADIAN HERO!"
ReplyDeleteToronto blew out Atlanta on the road. Wow.
ReplyDeleteEverybody has been up and down in the East except for the Hawks. Maybe it's their turn now.
Wouldn't that DVD be only 5 minutes long?
ReplyDelete"Austin holding up his newly won title, and now these Canadians seem to love him!"
ReplyDelete"I told you Canadians are idiots, Ross!"
I'm surprised they didn't sell that at all.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking that.
ReplyDeleteHah, the "try lacing my boots!" WWF Attitude commercial, I forgot about that.
ReplyDelete"Just because I CHOOSE to live my life OPENLY and FREELY, you hate me!" Shawn frames his stripping as FREEDOM, damn it.
ReplyDeleteIn the middle of Selma.
ReplyDeleteI already have a girlfriend, no condolences in this case.
ReplyDeleteI would have bought one, I loved Owen and never gave a shit about Austin.
ReplyDeleteThat was a great line, Shawn was on fire back then.
ReplyDeleteCavs are going to the finals unless Lebron get injured.
ReplyDeleteCavs making the Washington Wizards look like the Washington Generals right now.
ReplyDeleteCheap heat at its best, son
ReplyDeleteJust off the top of my head:
ReplyDeletePaul E Dangerously and Arn Anderson vs Rick Steiner
Hardy Boyz vs Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar
Edge vs Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman (WWE title match)
Paul Heyman vs Brock Lesnar (steel cage match)
Paul Heyman vs CM Punk
Paul Heyman and Ryback vs CM Punk (Hell in a Cell)
"What you don't understand, MARK MAN..." Yep, 1997 Dickhead Shawn was great.
ReplyDeleteLebron is like magic from the 80s. Unless he screws up in a weak conference, his team is going to the finals
ReplyDeleteThat seals LeBron as the greatest ever. How many other guys have carried shitty teams anywhere?
ReplyDeleteThat's what I had during pre-season. A stranger path than I expected, but nobody is there yet.
ReplyDeletePicture perfect cup full of something drenches Shawn full in the face. Doesn't lose a step, keeps walking with a smirk on his face.
ReplyDeleteHuh, I thought the only match he ever had was the GAB91 main event.
ReplyDelete
