What's weird is that I loved Bret/Shawn as I kid and was never bored by it. Now the older I get the less I like it. I feel like it should be the opposite.
It's not even that because that would probably enhance my enjoyment. I think as a kid I always bought into the idea of two legends WrestleMania one hour and loved it.
Wow the top shelf stuff, I would but I think I'm outtie in like 30 minutes max. Dude I'd potentially advise when you get to the main event, scrap it on the network and go to daily motion and watch the Austin commentary version of the main event. It's amazing (unless you've already seen it).
I don't think I've ever gotten tired of a match I like. I still watch Goldberg/Raven about once a week. I have the commentary memorized which is something you don't want when it's Tony and Larry
Up by 8 points heading into tonight's games for the last spot in the BoD Fantasy Hockey League playoffs. But dude I'm up against has 7 guys in his starting lineup tonight plus 2 goalies against only 5 guys in mine and only 1 goalie.
As long as I don't get crushed tonight, I should be able to sneak into the playoffs.
Would be welcome. I always learn when either of them talk which makes listening to them such a pleasure. It seems like people would like when the audience wants to understand what they are watching but most wrestlers want the exact opposite.
Parks and Rec feels like live-action Simpsons not just with its giant city of characters, but in its humor too. I was watching the Fairway Frank ep last night, and the bit where April lets the possum loose in Ann's house, then adds "And he did that too!" and points to the water ring on Ann's table felt straight out of the Simpsons playbook.
I got to hold onto my first truck for 11 years; put 170,000 miles on her and drove her as far north as Boston and as far south as Fort Myers, Florida. But she won't pass inspection in her present state, and with the truck needing $3,500 just to pass inspection (Not counting $700 for new ball joints and another $1,000 on the brakes)...
11 years and 170,000 miles is a good ride, but I think she's ready to be put out to pasture. My wife is absolutely gleeful about taking it to get junked, so I wiped snot on her door handle and spit on her headlight when she wasn't looking. Those who've heard stories about my wife understand my glee at having done this.
2000 Ford F-150. When she totaled it in January I took the $2800 and salvage title, put $500 into making it driveable for the time being and put the rest down on a car for her. But she got her car totaled when a drunk piece of shit hit her head on, and my company shut down, so I'm up the creek.
Reading about the French military pre-WW1, and them fuckers DESERVED to be the (proverbial) college frau being misused by the German military (proverbial) drunken frat boy.
Randy Orton would go hoarse calling them STUPID! STUPID! STUPID!.
On the other hand, nobody deserves what happened to France (and pretty much all of Central Europe) in WWII.
Years ago I rubbed my now exes tooth brush on my balls and ass one time because I was so fucking mad at her so I understand that passive aggressive stuff.
I would love it if there was a legends section at WrestleMania... no interviews, just random shots of them enjoying the show and being a part of the crowd.
I really want to watch survivor series 92 over the weekend. That show was so great and I haven't seen it in awhile. I actually have it on DVD somewhere even.
Also, I always thought it was hilarious how Piper to this day gushes over the technical prowess of Bob Orton for being able to, "lift a 250lb guy up and turn him over."
Bob Orton Jr. v. Adrian Adonis. Okay, this was SCW’s tournament final for their version of the “World” title, which ended up being about as viable as Fritz Von Erich’s version. Lou Thesz (spelled “Thez” in the pre-match graphics inserted by the Wrestling Gold folk) is there to present the belt, plus a REALLY old NWA World title from the 30s, back when it was about as big as a standard belt-buckle. Adrian works the arm to start, Bob responds in kind. They fight over a wristlock. Adrian hiptosses him and gets a FLYING HEADSCISSORS??? Holy crap. Bob reverses the headscissors, but gets hammerlocked. They exchange snapmares, and Adrian backslides him for two. Bob regroups and grabs an armbar. Adrian goes for the headscissors again, but Orton catches him, and Adrian rolls him up for two. Adrian goes back to the hammerlock. Bob gets overpowered, but monkeyflips Adonis off a criss-cross and grabs the armbar again. Adonis rams him into the corner, but Bob holds on like a bulldog. He turns it into a vicious pinning combo for two, and works the arm. Criss-cross again and Adonis hits an atomic drop for two. He goes up, but the splash hits knee. Orton drops an elbow and gets two. An Adonis rollup gets two, but Orton posts him, reopening a cut from earlier in the night. Orton methodically drops a knee for two. Bulldog is blocked by Adrian, but Orton sends him into the corner upside-down and takes over again. Superplex is blocked by Adonis, and they collide for the double-KO. Adonis hooks Good Night Irene, but Bob hotshots out of it. Back to the sleeper, reversed by Orton, and Adrian whips him to the ropes to escape. Bob cradles, and Adrian reverses for the pin at 14:47. Dave notes that they were on their best behavior to impress Thesz, and it shows with a technical masterpiece that you wouldn’t expect given how Adonis turned out later. ****
Southwest Championship Wrestling, run by Joe Blanchard. You may have heard of his son, Tully. They're most famous for being on USA before the WWE, and getting kicked off after an infamous angle involving... dog shit, IIRC.
Her hate of my truck is nonsensical is what gets me. My parents helped me make a down payment on it as my Christmas gift in 2004, and they didn't kiss her ass enough so she hates them years after they kicked. Now the truck is somehow "mommy and daddy's truck" and she wants the junkyard to smash it.
Correct. Blanchard "broke off" from Texas/Fritz (Gary Hart gives an excellent explanation of Texas and the three major promoters in his Guest Booker), tried to go national, and failed miserably.
I'm watching Sacramento-Philly and the Philly announcers are just as bad as JR and Cole. They have a replay official in the booth to explain certain foul calls. The conversation is as bad as you would expect. They haven't called any sort of action in the past five minutes.
I have the rest of 1986 for Superstars and Wrestling Challenge ready to be uploaded. I should be able to upload one or two a day, in order to hurry and get to 1987 so we can get some NWA WORLD WIDE!!!
Check it out here: http://www.dailymotion.com/strangerinthealps
Boesch only had Houston, and was mainly well-known for his high payoffs to the talent.
The Funks did run Amarillo, but after Dory Sr's death it slowly faded away, being bought out and closed in 1980.
Short version of Texas in the early 1980s: Dallas controlled the state of Texas by virtue of having the lone booking office in the state. Joe Blanchard and Paul Boesch, without that office, could not have run full cards in the state. Eventually, Joe broke loose with Southwest, had a short little run on USA, and collapsed by 1985. Boesch never really tried to break free, but eventually gave up promoting full time by the end of the 1980s. Fritz and WCCW were the survivors, but that promotion was all but dead by the end of the 80s.
Mike Wallace has been traded to the Vikings, but Miami have picked up Kenny Stills. If Jarvis LAndry continues to improve (he will, he's awesome) I think that's a net gain.
Man, the Niners have had a pretty shitty off-season. Lost Wills, Gore, Iupati, Crabtree, and Stevie Johnson, though the last 2 won't really be missed. That offense is going to be a disaster.
They were mostly civilian casualties. The mass deaths were more from Soviet incompetence than Soviet cruelty (their demeanor in Germany is another story)
Also never knew Finland allied with the Nazis in WW2 against the USSR. In retrospect I feel like that's something I really should have known
The 11/29/86 edition of Wrestling Challenge is currently uploading and then encoding. When it's done, you'll see George "the Animal" Steele and The Junkyard Dog in tag action; Sivi Afi & The Islanders take on Dino Bravo & The Dream Team in six man action; Moondog Spot plays the babyface against Kamala; The Rougeau Brothers are in the ring; and check out a young Mick Foley (billed as Jack Foley) face off with Hercules. Also, Hillbilly Jim is on The Snake Pit; a Blackjack Mulligan vignette; a Superstar Billy Graham vignette airs, as he thought he was returning from a hip injury, before he went down again before he even got back in the ring; and a recap of the Steamboat-Savage IC title match from the 11/22/86 Superstars.
I rarely like random Internet people posting swerve fantasy bookings that don't follow internal logic--but nothing about WWE's booking of WM makes sense so I'd take basically anything for a cool ending to wrestlemania. Via a comment on reddit.
"Roman was never supposed to beat Brock, just hurt him. He spends 30 minutes doing everything possible to beat Brock, and can't do it alone. Brock finally overcomes Roman, but before he can celebrate...Rollins comes down, but before he even gets to the ring...Ambrose comes running after him, then throws him into the ring like he's feeding him to Roman, then all three face off...then BOOM! They attack Brock. Triple Power Bomb, Seth cashes in. Shield is back, and they control the WWE Championship. It'll never happen, but hey, to dream."
I'm sure no one else is subjecting themselves to this Kings-Sixers game, but the extent of the Sacramento offense is "throw the ball into DeMarcus Cousins and pray for a foul." There is absolutely no semblance of a functioning half-court set. So hard to watch.
I'm sure Brian Burke is taking pleasure in watching the team he didn't build but runs rolling over the team he did build but takes no responsibility for.
Boners.
ReplyDeleteThat's a big ass crowd
ReplyDeletesunlight outside is throwin me off. Didn't think it was time to throw this up yet.
ReplyDeleteRoot is so void of stuff to show they restarted the Mariners game, <3
ReplyDeleteWhat's weird is that I loved Bret/Shawn as I kid and was never bored by it. Now the older I get the less I like it. I feel like it should be the opposite.
ReplyDeleteJoin me in WrestleMania X7, biyatches. 4 minutes in.
ReplyDeletebooooooooooooooooo
ReplyDeleteYou start learning too much about how they were being dicks to each other in the ring and the match suffers mightily.
ReplyDeleteYou been STOPPED and DROPPED by the Walls of Jericho!
ReplyDeleteIt's not even that because that would probably enhance my enjoyment. I think as a kid I always bought into the idea of two legends WrestleMania one hour and loved it.
ReplyDeleteWow the top shelf stuff, I would but I think I'm outtie in like 30 minutes max. Dude I'd potentially advise when you get to the main event, scrap it on the network and go to daily motion and watch the Austin commentary version of the main event. It's amazing (unless you've already seen it).
ReplyDeleteI'm just the opposite. First time I watched it I was bored to tears. Watched it again a few weeks ago and was into it like it was live.
ReplyDelete"I can't belive they made Jericho Doink" - pilled up HBK
ReplyDeleteWhere the fuck are the downvotes when you need them???
ReplyDeleteI can't explain. I would watch it every month or so for years and sit there glued. Now I can't watch it.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I burned myself out on it by watching it so much...
I wish he'd do that with every match. Wish he could have been this way on tough enough instead of having to work a gimmick.
ReplyDeleteI swear if we were friends in real life I'd be beer bonging Taco Bell guac during this conversation just to infuriate you more.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever gotten tired of a match I like. I still watch Goldberg/Raven about once a week. I have the commentary memorized which is something you don't want when it's Tony and Larry
ReplyDeleteIf wrestling was food I like to eat Bret vs Shawn at WM12 would be carnitas.
ReplyDeleteUp by 8 points heading into tonight's games for the last spot in the BoD Fantasy Hockey League playoffs. But dude I'm up against has 7 guys in his starting lineup tonight plus 2 goalies against only 5 guys in mine and only 1 goalie.
ReplyDeleteAs long as I don't get crushed tonight, I should be able to sneak into the playoffs.
Damnit, I have to go soon but this could be fun
ReplyDeleteBret/Shawn12: Really good cheeseburger
Kurt/ChrisRumble: Sushi
Bret/Steve13: Faux gras
I'd love to see he and Bret break down SS96
ReplyDeleteRock/Austin at WM17 is that really dope cut of steak you grilled yourself on the first day of spring.
ReplyDeleteThe Rumble would be Thanksgiving Turkey if it was reliably delicious these days.
ReplyDeleteWatching some MST3K
ReplyDeleteGot my mom to give the 2003 Hulk movie a shot on HBO. Hope she likes it as much as I do
ReplyDeleteJust in time for me to have my revenge!
ReplyDeleteReigns vs Lesnar is the weird fatty shit that drips off cold spam out of the can.
ReplyDeleteLa la la!
ReplyDeleteOk, checkin out for about 6 hours, you boys have a good Friday
ReplyDeleteBe back tonight for some drunk luchas
A few things I noted from watching the first half of WMXX, for the first time in ages:
ReplyDeleteCena was OVER. So over, with man woman and child. I'd forgotten just how over he was.
Fatal Four Way tag matches suck
Fellow divas ripping off Jackie's clothes when she didn't want to undress made me very uncomfortable.
Flair had forgotten how to wrestle by this point. Entertain, yes. Wrestle, no.
Parks and Recreation while having dinner of pizza and wings.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I usually find Aziz Ansari REALLY obnoxious, but he is just perfect on this show.
RTC's music is a total assault to the ears.
ReplyDeleteI see WWE has begged Shawn Michaels and Hall to tweet about the IC title ladder match at 31. GOTTA RAISE THAT BRAND AWARENESS YO.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about Amy Poehler
ReplyDeleteWould be welcome. I always learn when either of them talk which makes listening to them such a pleasure. It seems like people would like when the audience wants to understand what they are watching but most wrestlers want the exact opposite.
ReplyDeleteShe should've just let it happen, as Jameis would've wanted
ReplyDeleteSee, good character continuity for Paul Heyman to not like RTC even as a heel commentator.
ReplyDeleteBoss just texted me to enjoy my weekend off. CENA'S FREE!
ReplyDelete-so...you think you're untouchable-
ReplyDelete*cenas better theme song kick in*
Attempt #3 to get Buchanan over.
ReplyDeleteThe Network is missing a batch of ECW 94 TV so I gotta whole block of 94 Raw in front of me tonight. Yay?
ReplyDeleteParks and Rec feels like live-action Simpsons not just with its giant city of characters, but in its humor too. I was watching the Fairway Frank ep last night, and the bit where April lets the possum loose in Ann's house, then adds "And he did that too!" and points to the water ring on Ann's table felt straight out of the Simpsons playbook.
ReplyDeleteHad he stuck around, they might have tried pushing him instead of Cena.
ReplyDeleteI got to hold onto my first truck for 11 years; put 170,000 miles on her and drove her as far north as Boston and as far south as Fort Myers, Florida. But she won't pass inspection in her present state, and with the truck needing $3,500 just to pass inspection (Not counting $700 for new ball joints and another $1,000 on the brakes)...
ReplyDelete11 years and 170,000 miles is a good ride, but I think she's ready to be put out to pasture. My wife is absolutely gleeful about taking it to get junked, so I wiped snot on her door handle and spit on her headlight when she wasn't looking. Those who've heard stories about my wife understand my glee at having done this.
I grew up watching that shit as a kid so for me early to mid 90's wwf and wcw holds a huge amount of nostalgia. I'd say Yay.
ReplyDeleteI think this is how Huey Lewis came up with that truck song
ReplyDelete"How can a guy from Oklahoma be so generous about a Texan?!"
ReplyDeleteWhat truck?
ReplyDeleteAll you're missing is either a potato in the tailpipe, pissing in the gas tank, or leaving a little dead rat in a hard-to-reach spot.
ReplyDelete"ANN WE LET A POSSUM LOOSE IN YOUR HOUSE AND IT TOUCHED ALL YOUR BRAS! LOVE YOU BYE! RUN APRIL!!!!"
ReplyDeleteSo did I but aside from Backlund, Fall of 94 is absolute death. The main TV feud involves multiple midgets.
ReplyDeleteDamn, that was a glorified squash. I just noticed how all of the hometown buys (Bradshaw, Taker, Austin) actually won tonight!
ReplyDeleteAlso i don't get how spitting on your car teaches your wife a lesson?
ReplyDeleteRazor vs Yoko for the IC title should be interesting.
ReplyDeleteThat 6 man is actually pretty fun. Even the quick, get everyone on the card matches on that show are elite.
ReplyDeleteStephanie's nearing peak hotness here. Just get those cans done in a few months and we're set.
ReplyDeletethis year's Royal Rumble is an off-brand Hungry Man Thanksgiving Dinner with a frozen spot in the middle of the turkey
ReplyDeleteOne thing I liked about the New Generation were the babyfaces having unique in ring fireworks displays.
ReplyDeleteyou were with HBK at wrestlemania 17?
ReplyDeleteAh yes, the awesome enhanced version of Kane's first theme.
ReplyDelete2000 Ford F-150. When she totaled it in January I took the $2800 and salvage title, put $500 into making it driveable for the time being and put the rest down on a car for her. But she got her car totaled when a drunk piece of shit hit her head on, and my company shut down, so I'm up the creek.
ReplyDeleteReading about the French military pre-WW1, and them fuckers DESERVED to be the (proverbial) college frau being misused by the German military (proverbial) drunken frat boy.
ReplyDeleteRandy Orton would go hoarse calling them STUPID! STUPID! STUPID!.
On the other hand, nobody deserves what happened to France (and pretty much all of Central Europe) in WWII.
I spit on her car, big difference. Small victories.
ReplyDeleteDid we talk about the Type O Negative song produced for Kane?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.metalinjection.net/today-i-learned/til-type-o-negative-recorded-an-entrance-theme-for-wwes-kane-that-was-never-used
Years ago I rubbed my now exes tooth brush on my balls and ass one time because I was so fucking mad at her so I understand that passive aggressive stuff.
ReplyDeleteWhats the general consensus on the best ever Bob Orton match?
ReplyDeleteI would love it if there was a legends section at WrestleMania... no interviews, just random shots of them enjoying the show and being a part of the crowd.
ReplyDeleteI really want to watch survivor series 92 over the weekend. That show was so great and I haven't seen it in awhile. I actually have it on DVD somewhere even.
ReplyDeleteUm... maybe one of the ones with Hogan... SNME maybe?
ReplyDeleteTechnology changed between Crimea and World War I but tactics didn't. Hence the insanely high cost of life.
ReplyDeleteWhat blows my mind is that they DID evolve tactics in WW2... and MORE people died.
Also, I always thought it was hilarious how Piper to this day gushes over the technical prowess of Bob Orton for being able to, "lift a 250lb guy up and turn him over."
ReplyDeleteIn other words... a fucking body slam.
If you're around and I'm free I might watch with you. I've never seen it before.
ReplyDeleteOooo, Sevendust was my favorite for a very long time.
ReplyDeleteProp glass or not that must've HURT
ReplyDeleteKENTA looks like he's finally grasping the NXT style.
ReplyDeleteIIRC, he has an EXCELLENT match against Adrian Adonis (pre-flab) on one of the Wrestling Gold DVDs from the early 80s, pre-WWE.
ReplyDeleteWrestleMania III opener was very good. Probably his best WWE match at least.
ReplyDeleteBob Orton Jr. v. Adrian Adonis. Okay, this was SCW’s tournament final for their version of the “World” title, which ended up being about as viable as Fritz Von Erich’s version.

ReplyDeleteLord Business was the best character of any movie this year. Totally watching Lego Movie again.
ReplyDeleteSouthwest Championship Wrestling, run by Joe Blanchard. You may have heard of his son, Tully. They're most famous for being on USA before the WWE, and getting kicked off after an infamous angle involving... dog shit, IIRC.
ReplyDeleteWas 94 the first year they expanded the Survivor Series teams to 5 a side?
ReplyDeleteStupid, hardcore fun.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Kayfabe Memories basically being a dead site saddens me...
ReplyDeleteHer hate of my truck is nonsensical is what gets me. My parents helped me make a down payment on it as my Christmas gift in 2004, and they didn't kiss her ass enough so she hates them years after they kicked. Now the truck is somehow "mommy and daddy's truck" and she wants the junkyard to smash it.
ReplyDeleteYou mean other than the first couple of years?
ReplyDeleteAnd the thing about Kane winning the Hardcore title is nobody will DARE try to run up on him haha
ReplyDeletea dog shit angle? pre-kennel from hell in a cell? Wow!
ReplyDeleteSo this is the San Antonio territory, right? I only see that referred to as Blanchard's territory lol, never an official name
I didn't remember it started out as 5v5 and I was too lazy to look it up.
ReplyDelete'95-97 still had mostly 4-on-4 matches.
ReplyDeleteEverything is awesome....
ReplyDeleteIt mildly perturbed me to realize there is an 'NXT Style'.
ReplyDeleteCorrect. Blanchard "broke off" from Texas/Fritz (Gary Hart gives an excellent explanation of Texas and the three major promoters in his Guest Booker), tried to go national, and failed miserably.
ReplyDeleteI was always disappointed when they dropped it from 5-on-5 to 4-on-4. Seemed less epic to me.
ReplyDeleteWere Edge & Christian still heels heading into WrestleMania X7? Of were they good cops to Angle's crazy bad cop?
ReplyDeleteThe graphic for the Million Dollar Team is hysterical. Vince made it seem like Bundy was some 8 foot giant.
ReplyDeleteAnybody enter their address into the Survey Monkey WWE Network survey?
ReplyDeletePretty big ovation for Rock's arrival followed by a cascade of boos
ReplyDeleteso Paul Boesch's Houston territory would be number 3? What was his promotion called?
ReplyDeleteAnd didn't the Funks have a territory in West TX?
Latiiiiino...HEAT! Latiiiiino...HEAT!
ReplyDeleteMy buddy surprised us and got floor tickets for nxt in San Jose. I'm so fucking pumped for mania weekend now.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of scared to. Not sure who will end up getting it.
ReplyDeleteI'll admit, I always liked Test's theme.
ReplyDeleteYou just have to write the street and address number. Good luck to them trying to do something without a zipcode, city, or state.
ReplyDeleteLeslie knope is a grown up Lisa Simpson
ReplyDeleteOh nice. I didn't read that part. I just entered mine. Thanks for the heads up.

ReplyDeleteI'm so confident that I'm not going to win that I'd give you 75%.

ReplyDeleteThis is a legally binding deal.

ReplyDeleteOh hey, let's push IRS has a legit threat to the Undertaker in 1994!
ReplyDeleteEddie wins too, giving us another hometown win
ReplyDeleteBig pop just for Austin arriving in the building
ReplyDeleteThey were still heels
ReplyDelete"I saw your flag, and it's missing 49 other stars!" YA THINK
ReplyDeletePaul Heyman is just artfully getting under JR's skin lol
ReplyDeleteI'm hyped to see Benoit and Angle face off! This is as excited as a man can get with his clothes on!"

ReplyDeleteWell, UNC in this case; I don't follow Virginia enough to understand them.
ReplyDeleteJames, can I get a time stamp?
ReplyDeleteI think kevin owens could make the rings of saturn look devastating
ReplyDeleteAngles tights at 17 are awesome. He really doesn't have many misses though

ReplyDeleteTime stamp!!!
ReplyDeleteWhere is Angle-Benoit on best rivalries?!?
ReplyDelete1:12:00
ReplyDeleteAw fuck, the gimmick battle royal
ReplyDeleteGod forbid Kessell does anything. Last 10 games: a goal and 3 assists.
ReplyDeleteHeenan is at least fun,
ReplyDeleteThe military kicks ass, Maggle!
ReplyDeleteJames, up until this show which Mania have you liked the best?
ReplyDeleteEither 10 or 14.
ReplyDeleteSolid.
ReplyDeleteHe topped them at 18.
ReplyDeletein my Russian history class we just got to WW2
ReplyDeleteThe loss of life on the Eastern front is staggering.
Benoit wasn't really a face yet right?
ReplyDeleteNope, still a heel until he steals the Medals
ReplyDeleteHis TNA gear sucked.
ReplyDeleteTook a break from my friday the 13th the series marathon to watch 96 ecw.
ReplyDeleteHeyman was very good keeping his top guys interacting with each other, yet continue to keep them strong.
Nearly 15 years later, Chyna is an absolute disaster but Ivory can still get it at 50

ReplyDeleteIt's not like he had a weak finish
ReplyDeleteThe package Piled river is great.
Chynas outfit is ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteWell my Reimer pick up has been a disaster. And of course the one Flame player I have starting has zero points.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if it's been reported on here yet, but the Rock is hosting SNL on March 28th.
ReplyDeleteIn the interest of fairness, that's from early 2011. But I can't find anything more recent...
ReplyDeleteLisa is such an underrated MILF
ReplyDeleteTwo sides with no scruples, no sense of empathy or humanity...
ReplyDeleteDamn, total squash.
ReplyDeleteMcMahon street fight! Entertaining crap
ReplyDeleteMike Wallace has been traded to the Vikings, but Miami have picked up Kenny Stills. If Jarvis LAndry continues to improve (he will, he's awesome) I think that's a net gain.
ReplyDeleteI thought the Piled River was Ahmed's finish?
ReplyDeleteMy brother has only seen a handful of Sunny episodes so we're starting from the beginning.
ReplyDeleteI like Season 1
ReplyDeleteThe Bills signed Percy Harvin. Still no QB though.
ReplyDeleteAutocorrect. Edit fixed it
ReplyDelete"I wll never forgive your mother for giving birth to you!" Cold.
ReplyDeletelololol
ReplyDeletehttps://pbs.twimg.com/media/CABEYW7UIAAKpVe.jpg
They're certainly trying their best to win without a QB. It's so sad.
ReplyDeleteForgot Shane was still using No Chance in hell
ReplyDeleteThis too.
ReplyDeleteOh cool, they just advertised the Kid/Razor vs HBK/Diesel Action Zone match on this ep of Raw. So cool that I can't watch that on the network.
ReplyDeleteMan, the Niners have had a pretty shitty off-season. Lost Wills, Gore, Iupati, Crabtree, and Stevie Johnson, though the last 2 won't really be missed. That offense is going to be a disaster.
ReplyDeleteThey were mostly civilian casualties. The mass deaths were more from Soviet incompetence than Soviet cruelty (their demeanor in Germany is another story)
ReplyDeleteAlso never knew Finland allied with the Nazis in WW2 against the USSR. In retrospect I feel like that's something I really should have known
I've never even heard of the guy they just signed. Already forgot his name.

When it's done, you'll see George "the Animal" Steele and The Junkyard Dog in tag action; Sivi Afi & The Islanders take on Dino Bravo & The Dream Team in six man action; Moondog Spot plays the babyface against Kamala; The Rougeau Brothers are in the ring; and check out a young Mick Foley (billed as Jack Foley) face off with Hercules. Also, Hillbilly Jim is on The Snake Pit; a Blackjack Mulligan vignette; a Superstar Billy Graham vignette airs, as he thought he was returning from a hip injury, before he went down again before he even got back in the ring; and a recap of the Steamboat-Savage IC title match from the 11/22/86 Superstars.
ReplyDelete"WHAT IF JESUS WAS ABORTED?"
ReplyDeleteApparently you can actually see a 20-something pre-ESPN Bill Simmons at the WrestleMania XIV press conference.
ReplyDeleteWhy in christ's name would you pick any Maple Leaf right now.
ReplyDelete--signed, a Leafs dan
Could be worse, the Sabres are putting an AHL team out there. He'll, even in the AHL they'd be at the bottom end of the standings.
ReplyDeleteRandom network glitch I hate: clicking on a show and getting "We're sorry, but the selected content is unavailable. Please make another selection."
ReplyDeleteSuch a pain in the ass.
SLAP!
ReplyDeleteSteph looked great. Bounce bounce bounce even before the boob job.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pop!
ReplyDeleteThat match had more heat than this years main event will.
ReplyDeleteI rarely like random Internet people posting swerve fantasy bookings that don't follow internal logic--but nothing about WWE's booking of WM makes sense so I'd take basically anything for a cool ending to wrestlemania. Via a comment on reddit.
ReplyDelete"Roman was never supposed to beat Brock, just hurt him. He spends 30 minutes doing everything possible to beat Brock, and can't do it alone. Brock finally overcomes Roman, but before he can celebrate...Rollins comes down, but before he even gets to the ring...Ambrose comes running after him, then throws him into the ring like he's feeding him to Roman, then all three face off...then BOOM! They attack Brock. Triple Power Bomb, Seth cashes in. Shield is back, and they control the WWE Championship.
It'll never happen, but hey, to dream."
Holy shit, the Rams signed Nick Fairley! Did that winning season give everyone in Detroit nosebleeds or something?
ReplyDeleteNobody wants to watch Angle wrestle an invisible man over and over again, even in 4-5 star matches.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure no one else is subjecting themselves to this Kings-Sixers game, but the extent of the Sacramento offense is "throw the ball into DeMarcus Cousins and pray for a foul." There is absolutely no semblance of a functioning half-court set. So hard to watch.
ReplyDeleteYep, one-year deal with $5 million guaranteed.
ReplyDeleteEating a lot of Crunch Berries always makes me take pure green shits.
ReplyDeleteGot chills for the start of TLC 2.

OK, so which season of Parks and Rec should I most be looking forward to?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Brian Burke is taking pleasure in watching the team he didn't build but runs rolling over the team he did build but takes no responsibility for.
