Harrison Ford.
ReplyDeleteHey I have a question for anyone who might while I also try to google it. Is there a way to restore or get back tabs you had open on google chrome in one device on another one?
ReplyDeleteThat David Zayas is smooth, very smooth.
ReplyDeleteA true action hero.
ReplyDeleteI'm Team Penguin.
ReplyDeleteIt happens if I cloud is turned on with my Apple devices
ReplyDeleteYou'll never see another actor have the same run of classic movies and iconic roles like Ford had.
ReplyDeleteHarrison Ford was my childhood hero growing up, so this plane crash has me worried.
ReplyDeleteHarrison Ford fan? I never would have imagined that Mar Solo.
ReplyDeleteHope Solo is my crazy ass sister.
ReplyDeleteSo is there any more info on Ford? first I heard walked away. Then I heard cuts on face, then I've heard fractures and pretty bad condition
ReplyDeleteJack Ryan, Indiana Jones, Han Solo, plays the grumpy old man in real life.
ReplyDeleteNew update just went out. He has moderate injuries and was alert after the crash.
ReplyDeleteBetter Harrison Ford role:
ReplyDeleteMartin Riggs or William Wallace?
that sounds promising at least.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't feel like Thursday. Is Ryback and Kane the main event? It can't be
ReplyDeleteRoger Murtaugh.
ReplyDeleteCraig Sager's back!
ReplyDeleteThat's Danny Glover, DUH.
ReplyDeleteAh, had a short drive today at only 7.5 hours to Ohio. Gonna hang out with some friends and family for a couple days and relax before making the final trek to Albany. Can't wait to watch some Network later.
ReplyDeleteWith the Palin talk earlier, the best thing about Sarah Palin's run was the revelation she hooked up with Glen Rice in college
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy we went the whole year without him. Good to see him suit up again
ReplyDelete1977-1993 was some kind of amazing run.
ReplyDeleteMichael Corleone.
ReplyDeleteYou totally can access tabs you had open on google chrome in different devices. That is awesome. I just had never signed into the google thing on my laptop. Just saved myself a trip back to the office and I am one fucking happy camper.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, she was the final straw in me voting for Obama over McCain. I was totally in on McCain thinking we'd get strict negotiations like a scene out of Deer Hunter.
ReplyDeleteInstead, I was half expecting Palin to switch his pills with rat poison.
The story about fans attacking Usos/Reigns rental car with a chair after the Rumble is pretty crazy.
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be confusing Harrison Ford for Mel Gibson.
ReplyDeleteHad a great cameo in Bruno.
ReplyDeletePhilly fans are nuts. Especially when they're drunk.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the Philly area is pretty much the most classless part of America.
ReplyDeleteIs it me or does she keep getting hotter? Not hot hot but cougar hot
ReplyDeleteCan I just say take some stuff out of my chest?
ReplyDeleteAren't you from Philly?
ReplyDeleteWhat match will be the best at WM? I predict the IC ladder match at ****1/4, then the show will be all downhill from there.
ReplyDeleteDownhill ice skating races. Holy fucking awesome!
ReplyDeleteGood evening everyone.
ReplyDeleteHowdy kid.
ReplyDeleteMy vote is Orton/Rollins if that's where they are going. Matter of fact, my money is on Rollins period.
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
ReplyDeleteYeah that can be a good match as well. I chose the IC title match, because I have a feeling several of them will be pissed off at being so low on the card, and feel the need to upstage the show, similiar to CM punk when he was against Taker.
ReplyDeleteClose enough to know what it's like, far enough to escape the mentality.
ReplyDeleteJust read a transcript of Nikki Bella's interview with Madden. Jesus fucking Christ she is clueless.
ReplyDeleteI think Orton and Rollins could be crazy good.
ReplyDeleteIf they ever did a movie on McMahon, Harrison Ford would be a shoe in for the part. Just don't ask him to try and replicate McMahon's physique.
ReplyDeleteImagine him yelling "YOU'RE FIRED!"
I see Michael Shannon in thar role.
ReplyDeleteOh, so you're Delco trash?
ReplyDeleteMake sense!
Which isn't always a good thing when ladders are involved. Here's hoping they keep the craziness to a minimum, but I'm rooting for them.
ReplyDeleteNikki Bella is trying to claim the 30 second match that led to the #GiveDivasAChance deal was intentional and she is taking credit for it. All the lolz. She also says everyone has the same cut of merch.
ReplyDeleteAdam.
ReplyDeleteI don't know Nikki Bella personally, but she needs to shut the fuck up.
ReplyDeleteWrong again battery chucker.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part is that she says she is trying to change the culture of how divas are perceived. Never mind that she is one of the divas that set it back 20 years after Trish and Lita.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter where you're from, you're still trash.
ReplyDeleteJohn.
ReplyDeleteMeltzer proclaimed today that Roman Reigns is officially the least over guy to ever main event Wrestlemania. He also added that it "was never previously possible for a guy who's as not-over as Reigns to main event WM, because the 'old Vince' would have changed the card and removed them."
ReplyDeleteBut how true is this statement? I feel like there had to have been guys less over than Reigns who main evented Mania.
Bad shit today.
ReplyDeleteHey she's earned that push. Fucking Cena has NOTHING to do with it.
ReplyDeleteGoing to give American Crime a shot tonight.
ReplyDeleteMeltzer is right. Even LT and Bam Bam were more over. Like I said when he won, this is truly unprecedented in wrestling.
ReplyDeleteLike what?
ReplyDeleteAs the face? Maybe Nash?
ReplyDeleteLawrence Taylor maybe? That's about all I got.
ReplyDeleteNash never main evented.
ReplyDeleteGood point.
ReplyDeleteIt sucks.
ReplyDeleteWhy so mad bro?
ReplyDeletealso, to me it seems that in spring of 1995 Nash was a lot more over than Reigns is now.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same.
ReplyDeleteMe and my mom got to a argument, alright I'm a hot head guy but I was trying to calm her down, I put my hand on her shoulder and she just grabs it and says "I'm break your fingers".
ReplyDeleteThat's not fair. It was like that before she arrived. It's Kelly, Torrie and Stacy's fault.
ReplyDeleteI really don't blame Reigns for much of it though. I can't blame it much on the breakup of the Shield because I don't know how farther they could have went as faces after their feud with Evolution. His injury came at a bad time.
ReplyDeleteAfter Orton, they could have Reigns do what Ambrose couldn't and defeat Rollins. That could have gave him more momentum heading into this year.
Christopher McDonald (Shooter from Happy Gilmore)
ReplyDeleteTed Turner was the best thing to ever happen to WWF. We need another crazy billionaire to give Vince competition again. That could only improve things.
ReplyDeleteThis show ell be Wrestlemania 27 level bad
ReplyDeleteI'd Hulk Smash as long as she kept her views to herself
ReplyDeleteYou saw the pilot?
ReplyDeleteShe certainly picked the right boyfriend though, so she's not too clueless.
ReplyDeleteI can see where you get being a hot head from.
ReplyDeleteI always wondered why FOX never got into the wrestling business.
ReplyDeleteBold prediction:
ReplyDeleteOne of Brock/Reigns, Taker/Wyatt or Sting/HHH will be unexpectedly great.
Torrie and Stacy were managers. Kelly actually turned into a decent worker.
ReplyDeleteThe most classless part of America is wherever you're from.
ReplyDeleteReal quick: Why does EA suck many, many donkey dicks?
ReplyDeletehttp://kotaku.com/an-updated-list-of-studios-ea-has-bought-and-then-shut-1689498614
Shots fired?
ReplyDeleteOnly problem with Orton/Rollins is that it will be heatless depending on how far WWE wants to drag out this overwraught fake friends nonsense.
ReplyDeleteAre any news outlets covering the Aaron Hernandez trial? This is one of the craziest stories ever and it just keeps getting crazier. Instead of it being all over the tv, it's nowhere. Can the NFL really be powerful enough to make a murder trial disappear?
ReplyDeleteZeb Coulter would become the #1 face in a fox run wrestling show.
ReplyDeleteIf we lose Spock and Han Solo in the same week, I'm going to lose my fucking mind.
ReplyDeleteThey were the beginning and apex of the "only hot matters/modelization" era.
ReplyDeleteTorrie wrestled a lot.
Nikki has gotten way better this year so I'll cut her some slack
seems taylor made for Rupert Murdoch.
ReplyDeleteThat sucks. Most of those games on that list were really fun.
ReplyDeleteMayo?
ReplyDeleteBrazilian, please NO New Japan Cup spoilers!
ReplyDeleteRobert Kraft demands an apology for you bringing this up.
ReplyDeleteGood morning! Was wondering, have any of you been to Australia before? And if so, please tell me something about your experience.
ReplyDeleteI don't blame him either. If you got a job offer you really wanted would you tell them "No thank you person X is more qualified." Of course you take the job, and that's what Reigns did.
ReplyDeleteKangaroo rapes. Everywhere.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine the last being much better than expected. I too believe that they are doing Sting vs. HHH instead of Sting vs. Taker because both of the former are too broken down at this point. and I also believe Trips will at least TRY everything possible to make this watchable.
ReplyDeleteactually, when Hernandez pleads this out he'll be apologizing to the Patriot Nation instead of the family of the victim.
ReplyDeleteI liked Wrestlemania 27
ReplyDeleteSounds like he's killed many times before.
ReplyDeleteYou know its bad when WWE can't even do a ready made Orton face turn.
ReplyDeleteThat'll happen if you don't maintain eye contact :/
ReplyDeleteNo matter what happens with this trial he's got another one for double murder coming up next.
ReplyDeletedoesn't that mean the news should be all over this? I don't even think Nancy Grace's senile self is covering it and it's right up her alley
ReplyDeleteIsn't this a movie with Ellen Page.
ReplyDeletecertainly not Brock/ Reigns though, because the audience will boo the entire match. I cant think of a single good match in history the audience completely pissed over. Its suck the wind out of the wrestler's sails.
ReplyDeleteHere's a not so bold prediction : Cena will start banging Lana. Rusev and the Bellas will then leave WWE. Cena will then dump Lana, and she'll be doing infomercials or D-List shit like that. Over/under for all this is 3 years
ReplyDeleteSeriously, guy gets fucked up, is out for 4 months, and comes back on a rampage? How much more do you need to build that shit up?
ReplyDeleteSomething tells me they'd do it right, like they way they made the NFL better when they got it back in the 90s
ReplyDeleteWe're talking about the TV show debuting tonight.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry man, it's all my fault.
ReplyDeleteit's amazing how they managed to "cool off" something that was so obvious.
ReplyDeleteI guess not enough "story" for their tastes nowadays.
ReplyDeleteThere were more stories to be told I guess.
ReplyDeleteI really have enjoyed Better Call Saul but I can't get gung-ho about watching it and usually don't watch it live but wait til in the week.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's a crazy case that media outlets should be jumping all over if they want ratings.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I dont remember Nash ever getting boo'd out of building as a face.
ReplyDeleteBenoit/Malenko got pissed on at Hog Wild.
ReplyDeleteI honestly think Reigns/Brock could go between ** and ***3/4 stealthily.
Closest I can think of is Styels/Daniles from Destination X 2012, though the crowd didn't boo, they were just dead silent because that match had already been done a hundred titles in that building.
ReplyDeleteVince was probably worried about feeding Big Show & Kane to Randy Orton for a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteGotta keep those Hoss's strong for Roman in the spring.
How many reality based shows FOX has had over the years? Wrestling is TV's first reality show. Why wouldn't any network take a shot?
ReplyDeleteJeez Andre was HUGE...think I might live blog TNT
ReplyDeleteDidn't say it was.
ReplyDeleteGotta take a piss.
ReplyDeleteBut the wife's using the john.
So outside I go.
Alfred sucks as a side kick, Vince is an asshole
ReplyDeleteI never saw that match. Did the audience piss over it or were just being silent? Its possible to have a good match with an uninterested crowd. I dont think its possible with 20 minutes of boring, Daniel Bryan, refund, this match sucks, chants and constant boos though.
ReplyDeleteCould totally see Vince freaking out and botching a Cena heel turn to feed to Reigns to try to get him over.
ReplyDeleteBig difference between silence and the audience aggressively assualting the match. Look at how Lesnar reacted at WM XX for example.
ReplyDeleteBut you really can't appreciate his size yadda yadda.
ReplyDeleteOh, I thought it was the movie, sorry.
ReplyDeleteBooing. Because no one was nWo. Loudly.
ReplyDeleteYeah, say what you will about Miz now, but at the time, he was molten hot. Lawrence Taylor had celebrity appeal, people liked Nash and hated Shawn at the time.
ReplyDeleteOk, well maybe Im wrong, but Lesnar and Reigns aren't Malenko and Benoit.
ReplyDeleteWatching Andre v Patera now. They should go back to the camera angles they used back then. Makes it seem more real
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I forgot about that one. Fucking idiot bikers.
ReplyDeleteHe'll give Cena the cool persona he should've always had and get him unanimously cheered while Reigns becomes the maligned Cena character.
ReplyDeleteRusev hits Cena in the head so much that he causes brain damage, leading to the turn.
ReplyDeleteI love how wrestlers stealing the real champions title belts is now something babyfaces do.
ReplyDeleteThey don't want real. The want seizure-inducing Larger Than Life.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to Kanye Cena.
ReplyDelete"You sold out! You sold out!"
ReplyDeleteOne guy was retiring, the other was attempting to get a job that would have paid 1/20 of what WWE was paying.
Listening to Bryan and Vinny eviscerate RAW and the current booking last hiliarious and valid
ReplyDeleteI just can take anymore any of her bullshit.
ReplyDelete..Which makes it look completely fake. NXT does it right, imo. They don't force it, and it still looks great
ReplyDeleteYou can thank TNT Asst Director Dunn for fixing that camera angle problem.
ReplyDeleteOr worse, try to fully turn Bryan.
ReplyDeleteNever let reason get in the way of a good crowd grandstanding.
ReplyDeleteSomebody got lariato'ed.
ReplyDeleteNash had momentum. They fucked up Reigns badly since his return from injury and they more they force him to the fans the more they are revolting.
ReplyDeleteWhat year? 1980 or 1985?
ReplyDeleteBryan as a heel, clean cut and pulling out his American Dragon persona would be a nice, refreshing change.
ReplyDeletePeople always compare a potential Cena heel turn to Hogan's. What is the modern equivalent to that? I'd say it would be Balor and Owens coming and running roughshod over everyone and Cena joins up with them.
ReplyDeleteCena would look just as out of place with them as Hogan did with Hall and Nash.
The Cartoon Storyline. I like it actually. The IC title hasn't been in this much demend in decades.
ReplyDeleteAlright.
ReplyDeleteThere is no modern equivalent. Nothing comes even close.
ReplyDeleteIts one of the dumbest angles of all time. And it will get no one over because in the match, the only one who will benefit is whoever takes the craziest bump that night. Winning the title has nothing to do with it.
ReplyDeleteIts amazing how much better (and better booked) WM XXXI would be if Bryan and Reigns merely traded their spots on the card. Infact, Reigns would be the perfect guy to bring prestige back to the IC title while he prepares himself for a Heavyweight run next year.
ReplyDelete...And coming to the ring to the Final Countdown? Yeah. I can get on board with that.
ReplyDeleteWith the Palin talk earlier, the best thing about Sarah Palin's run was Who's Nailin' Palin
ReplyDeleteYou betcha
There is no storyline equivalent, but you could definitely echo that angle in the booking.
ReplyDeleteThey'll have a good match and the crowd will be into it, but it'll mean nothing a week later.
ReplyDeleteI mean we just saw Ziggler & Harper killing it at TLC and what did that mean?
I think it will be Sting vs HHH. The expecations are crazy low but it's not impossible that if Sting tries really hard it could be a three star type match. I don't think Wyatt can work and Taker is not the guy to get a match out of him and Brock vs Reigns is going to be shit.
ReplyDeleteLisa Ann retired, Officer Farva is crying in Heaven.
ReplyDeletePeople would just see it as Cena trying to hog in on another latest hot trend to steal some of the heat away.
ReplyDeleteToo bad Lisa Ann didn't do anal in that one though.
ReplyDeleteCalling it a storyline is generous. An 11 year old could come with it.
ReplyDeleteWith Punk gone there's a definitely need for a smug, dick heel that could outwrestle guys.
ReplyDeleteHe and Brie would probably make a great, obnoxious heel tandem.
All her great work is saved for ever for us all to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteNXT Invasion, i mean it'll happen eventually i'm sure. Same goes for a John Cena heel turn.
ReplyDeleteThat's kinda the point.
ReplyDeleteThat title hasn't had prestige in over 15 years. I don't think Reigns would have been the guy to do that.
ReplyDeleteI...would actually be okay with this. Have him get rid of the beard and cut his hair like Foley did to "clean his image up."
ReplyDeleteAnd really, crowd reactions have cooled to him. Why not pulled the trigger on a heel turn now?
I think that's the intent.
ReplyDeleteLucky muthafucka.
ReplyDelete
