After chatting with WWE Network Rep Eddie C, I do indeed have the Network free for the rest of the month and the $9.99 on my bank account is just a hold that they let go after a couple days. Wahoo!
You ain't kidding. Fast food was supposed to be the unhealthy but cheaper alternative for people. Now it's expensive and unhealthy. Not a good pairing.
McDonalds had to change... so they decided to not offer super sized things, and just move everything up a price point. They received a TON of positive press about adjusting to a healthier lifestyle, and thus they just kept that process going little by little.
And now I'm having back account issues. My cable company denied my bank card, yet somehow my bill got charged twice and nothing notated on my online account.
Do we have more painful death executions than the injection the Boston bomber kid is going to get eventually? To paraphrase Kill Bill, he must suffer to his last breath.
I miss the McDonald's gang. Grimace, Mayor McCheese, Fry Guys - although they did just bring back the Hamburgler, but I'm not a big fan of child predators.
I can't remember who, maybe it was Chris Hero, who said he was willing to give them the rights to his name so he could use it but they still wanted him to change it.
Took the peeps out for drinks after a long week, now I have a splitting headache. I seriously think I'm going through some kind of withdrawal after that month of painkillers because I never get headaches and I've had them off and on all week.
Every time I see someone say "No Mel, no buys", I think of Dennis dressed as Mel in Lethal Weapon 5. "Sounds like you guys are having a nice party, why wasn't I invited?!"
I think the example is valid, IE the WWE letting Joe keep the name, as the did with Punk, but it IS flawed in the sense that although they let Punk keep his nom de plume, they made him alter it enough that although he was still CM Punk, he wasn't the C.M. Punk that he was on the indie scene.
With that in mind, how would Joe come to the same sort of arrangement? Would he be Samoa J.O.E. ? Samoa Jo? SamoaJoe? It really doesn't work.
You're missing out. You want old, broken Mel? Watch Expendables 3. The character HAS to move on, and someone the caliber of Tom Hardy playing him is actually one of the best case scenarios.
Remember how utterly FUCKED Indiana Jones fans got? They got Shia "I'm not an artist" Lebeuof.
Wait...are you trying to say there is a difference between C.M. Punk and CM Punk? There is none. Punks owns that name because WWE wasn't trying to trademark everything when he came up. That is why the comparison is stupid.
Didn't they just release the El Diablo, the burger with a full serving of fucking jalapeno poppers on it? Jesus. It's like they're on a mission to see just how massively obese they can get the average, low income American.
Unlike the good ol' days where if you needed to change your name in a different territory, they did 30 seconds before you went out for your initial match.
As shallow as WWE is these days talent wise, relying on Kane and Big Show etc, they really should have developed and pushed guys like Carlito, Morrison, MVP, Masters, among others further then they did. Maybe they'd have made main event by now.
Those guys just got tired of the bullshit. In the old days, you could treat the boys like that because they were all emotionally stunted. There had to be something pretty wrong with you to want to live that lifestyle.
Masters has improved monumentally on the independent scene. He's a guy they hamstrung, sabotaged, and buried all seemingly for HHH's own shits and giggles. He's one of the guys that spring immediately to mind when I think of people who OUGHT to be doing the whole "US Title Open Challenge" bit instead of John Cena.
There....kind of still does. I mean, 9/10ths of the guys and girls who make a go at the field of pro wrestling burn out, wash out, or find something better to do that doesn't rely on them beating their bodies to shit day in and day out for nickel and dime wages. That last 1% stick it out and MAYBE...MAYBE they go beyond wrestling in a high school gym in front of 12 drunk hillbillies.

ReplyDeletehellloooooo????
So how about that Pirates-Cubs ending, huh?
ReplyDeleteHow does that feel walking off?
Where's Marv?
ReplyDeleteBoners.
Daily Update!? You kiddin me?! Daily update!? There's no NEWS to update!
ReplyDeleteAfter chatting with WWE Network Rep Eddie C, I do indeed have the Network free for the rest of the month and the $9.99 on my bank account is just a hold that they let go after a couple days. Wahoo!
ReplyDeleteDoing college work, don't know if I will finish today.
ReplyDeleteMcDonald's new sirloin burger is pretty damn good. I don't know about $5 good, but good.
ReplyDeleteThat's one thing I definitely don't miss about school.
ReplyDeleteBasically a book report, 3 pages so far.
ReplyDeleteSo fucking stupid. The building needs to be condemned and demolished.
ReplyDeleteI was really good at that stuff, luckily, but I had to do it now I would blow my head off first.
ReplyDelete"Nobody tell McQuaid he's good! If he knows it, he'll leave this shitty program!"
ReplyDeleteMK X coming out for 360 in june, I hope you can unlock Goro without paying.
ReplyDeleteHOSS!
ReplyDeleteShit, even a Big Mac is close to $5 these days.
ReplyDeleteUpdate! There is no news to report!
ReplyDeleteYeah, the school part.
ReplyDeleteYOU DID THIS!
ReplyDeleteBut the history.....
ReplyDeleteYou ain't kidding. Fast food was supposed to be the unhealthy but cheaper alternative for people. Now it's expensive and unhealthy. Not a good pairing.
ReplyDelete"I'm straight outta Compton! ...but my husband's from Northridge."
ReplyDeleteSuper Size me was the start of it.
ReplyDeleteMcDonalds had to change... so they decided to not offer super sized things, and just move everything up a price point. They received a TON of positive press about adjusting to a healthier lifestyle, and thus they just kept that process going little by little.
Never did I want a Big Mac more than I did after seeing Super Size Me
ReplyDeleteI watched it with a group who walked out swearing to never eat McDonalds again. They got drive-thru on the ride home.
ReplyDeleteWhich is funny considering apparently nobody wanted the healthier items, just the junk.
ReplyDeleteIt was really just win/win/win for McDonalds. They have unbelievably savvy management.
ReplyDeleteThe artisan chicken is pretty good if a little undersized. And at 350 cal/6g of fat, you can order fries with it and not destroy your daily intake
ReplyDeleteWhy did this take all day to be posted?
ReplyDeleteAnd now I'm having back account issues. My cable company denied my bank card, yet somehow my bill got charged twice and nothing notated on my online account.
You can't tell that by the press for them nowadays. Reading Yahoo and Business Insider, you'd think the company was lucky to be operating right now.
ReplyDeleteOf losing.
ReplyDeleteFuck it. That's all I have to say about life in general and everything in it right now. Fuck it.
ReplyDelete"Wanna get away?"
ReplyDeleteGet in my face, stuffed crust pizza. GET IN MY FACE NOW!
ReplyDeleteTheir child/minority targeting definitely falls under questionable morals... but they know their client base.
ReplyDeleteHaven't tried the Artisan yet. Although I am pissed off they just ditched the deluxe quarter pounder. Burgers have TOMATO, dammit.
ReplyDeleteDo we have more painful death executions than the injection the Boston bomber kid is going to get eventually? To paraphrase Kill Bill, he must suffer to his last breath.
ReplyDeleteTo quote Jigsaw: "Suffering? You haven't seen anything yet."
ReplyDeleteCan always go the Law Abiding Citizen route.
ReplyDeleteCarl's Jr about to go full Paunch Burger: a burger with hot dogs and potato chips on it
ReplyDeleteI approve
ReplyDeleteEwwwwwwwwwwwww. Sweet Paunch ref though.
ReplyDeleteI miss the McDonald's gang. Grimace, Mayor McCheese, Fry Guys - although they did just bring back the Hamburgler, but I'm not a big fan of child predators.
ReplyDelete..this is not the day?
ReplyDeleteWhere da white women at?
ReplyDeleteHamburger is back, and he's like the fifty shades of grey guy.
ReplyDeleteI really hate this avatar.
ReplyDeleteIf the Wizards and Grizzlies win, are all G7's on Sunday?
ReplyDeleteGarfield said it best: You see Odie? When I order a hot dog with everything on it, I want everything on it. Including a hamburger.
ReplyDeleteIsn't there a state that can still get this done by firing squad?
ReplyDeleteI think Utah still has firing squad.
ReplyDeleteYour avatar is the best avatar the Blog has ever seen. Sorry Marv.
ReplyDelete"Oh yes. There will be blood."
ReplyDeleteSeconded
ReplyDeleteNot Daily Update. It's the goddamn night thread.
ReplyDeleteGetting really fucking tired of the sloppiness around here, guys.
I'm bigger than you are! I'm higher in the food chain! GET IN MAH BELLY.
ReplyDeleteI accept you and Art's praise.
ReplyDeleteWhat are we watching at eight!?
ReplyDeleteDon't blame me I picked PN News.
ReplyDeleteMaybe push that back to 830... see if we can get more support?
ReplyDeleteThirded.
ReplyDeleteI like the Pearl Jam song Bugs a lot more than I should.
ReplyDeleteI'm good with that. Any preferences
ReplyDeleteSaw Mad Max today. It was good, wasn't like earth shattering or anything, but I enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteTheir new child size is 512 ounces.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about In Your House: It's Time... attitude brewing...
ReplyDeleteRoughly the size of a child.
ReplyDeleteI just watched that a bit ago lol
ReplyDeleteI'll jump in.
ReplyDeleteJust started watching season 2 because I know how to party on a Friday night.
ReplyDeleteI just want to stay away from some of the big stuff that we've all seen... WM, SummerSlam, Rumbles.
ReplyDeleteAnything you have in mind?
Suggestion?
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched an episode of Parks in a month or two. So it's coming up on the time to marathon the whole show again.
ReplyDeleteMy brother and I were talking about how awesome and ridiculous it is last night.
ReplyDeleteDo I trick them? I DON'T THINK THEY'RE THAT DUMB!
I vote for WCW Fall Brawl 96.
ReplyDeleteNo Mel Gibson, no buys.
ReplyDeleteFall Brawl 96.
ReplyDeleteWhat gives, Biff?
ReplyDeleteThat works for me
ReplyDeleteI'm a roof baby now.
ReplyDeleteScott's getting close to that, I like it. Sting was amazing.
ReplyDeleteIt works better as an experimental/weird song than HeyFoxyShamalongadingdong does. "Bugs in my shoes, bugs in the way I feel about you"
ReplyDeleteThat's probably the smartest idea you've had since the last time you had a marathon.
ReplyDeleteDammit, I'm hungry.
ReplyDeleteSo WCW Fall Brawl 96 at 8:30?
ReplyDeleteI'm in!
ReplyDeleteGoing once...
ReplyDeleteSome dude on reddit tried using CM Punk as an example when I said WWE wouldn't let Joe keep his name.
ReplyDeleteThat's me on a weekday.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember who, maybe it was Chris Hero, who said he was willing to give them the rights to his name so he could use it but they still wanted him to change it.
ReplyDeleteThat dude was boned from the jump.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it was Hero.
ReplyDeleteTook the peeps out for drinks after a long week, now I have a splitting headache. I seriously think I'm going through some kind of withdrawal after that month of painkillers because I never get headaches and I've had them off and on all week.
ReplyDeleteWorks for me. Haven't seen it in quite a long time.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see someone say "No Mel, no buys", I think of Dennis dressed as Mel in Lethal Weapon 5. "Sounds like you guys are having a nice party, why wasn't I invited?!"
ReplyDeleteWhat did Harry Smith do to get turfed from WWE? Seems like he'd be someone they'd be all about?
ReplyDeleteDouché.
ReplyDeleteThat accent on that line is just so terribly hilarious.
ReplyDeleteHe sucked, now he's actually a good power guy.
ReplyDeleteHe did something to get heat in the locker room, can't remember what though
ReplyDeleteThe took him off TV and wondered why he never got over.
ReplyDeleteI think the example is valid, IE the WWE letting Joe keep the name, as the did with Punk, but it IS flawed in the sense that although they let Punk keep his nom de plume, they made him alter it enough that although he was still CM Punk, he wasn't the C.M. Punk that he was on the indie scene.
ReplyDeleteWith that in mind, how would Joe come to the same sort of arrangement? Would he be Samoa J.O.E. ? Samoa Jo? SamoaJoe? It really doesn't work.
Pacific Islander Joe
ReplyDeleteSamoan Joe.
ReplyDeleteYou're missing out. You want old, broken Mel? Watch Expendables 3. The character HAS to move on, and someone the caliber of Tom Hardy playing him is actually one of the best case scenarios.
ReplyDeleteRemember how utterly FUCKED Indiana Jones fans got? They got Shia "I'm not an artist" Lebeuof.
Wait...are you trying to say there is a difference between C.M. Punk and CM Punk? There is none. Punks owns that name because WWE wasn't trying to trademark everything when he came up. That is why the comparison is stupid.
ReplyDeleteDidn't they just release the El Diablo, the burger with a full serving of fucking jalapeno poppers on it? Jesus. It's like they're on a mission to see just how massively obese they can get the average, low income American.
ReplyDeleteDreamer was Corbin's mystery opponent.
ReplyDelete"That was very fast...and a little bit too furious."
ReplyDeleteNeeded to get out of that system and develop his skills outside the WWE. Smith will be back at some point in the near future.
ReplyDeleteI was under the impression that they came to a mutual understanding that Punk owns the rights to one of them, and WWE owned the rights to the other.
ReplyDeleteAnother waste of talent, Carlito. Although calling him "Carlito Caribbean Cool" was stupid.
ReplyDeleteGetting FATTER when he was supposed to lean out probably didn't help much.
ReplyDeleteHe was always mediocre in my book.
ReplyDeleteDoes Schmidt look black to you, fat drug supplier bitch?
ReplyDeleteCarlito was his own waste of talent.
ReplyDeleteUnlike the good ol' days where if you needed to change your name in a different territory, they did 30 seconds before you went out for your initial match.
ReplyDeleteHe made it to the correct level, IC/US range.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. He should have been Carlito Colon. Dunno why they play the FUCK out of lineage at some moments, and seem ashamed of it at others.
ReplyDeleteHis catchphrase, the apple, his snarky attitude...all of that was GOLD.
He didn't get fat until after he was released.
ReplyDeleteAs shallow as WWE is these days talent wise, relying on Kane and Big Show etc, they really should have developed and pushed guys like Carlito, Morrison, MVP, Masters, among others further then they did. Maybe they'd have made main event by now.
ReplyDeleteWWE isn't shallow on talent. They have an insane amount of talent right now.
ReplyDeleteThere's one near me with a McDonald's and a Jack In The Box on opposite corners. Carl's is always empty. And their food is superior.
ReplyDeleteCarlito I thought was a head case with no motivation
ReplyDeleteMasters a roid head
And the other two asked to leave.
Talent with a push, then.
ReplyDeleteThose guys just got tired of the bullshit. In the old days, you could treat the boys like that because they were all emotionally stunted. There had to be something pretty wrong with you to want to live that lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteThe number of talent with an effective push is way below what it should be given the talent they have. I agree.
ReplyDeleteHas there ever been a War Games match where the faces won the coin toss?
ReplyDeleteMasters has improved monumentally on the independent scene. He's a guy they hamstrung, sabotaged, and buried all seemingly for HHH's own shits and giggles. He's one of the guys that spring immediately to mind when I think of people who OUGHT to be doing the whole "US Title Open Challenge" bit instead of John Cena.
ReplyDeleteWhen did Orton develop the patchy beard? Was that when he went to Smackdown in 2011?
ReplyDeleteWell he started off with something great with the Masterlock Challenge... then Cena beat it.
ReplyDeleteHas he? That's great. He always seemed like a decent enough wrestler, just roidy as hell.
ReplyDeleteI missed his whole second run there though.
Yeah I feel like it was right around when the Christian program started.
ReplyDeleteSchmidt can't even do the heroic sacrifice right!
ReplyDeleteI thought Lashley beat it. Speaking of guys who could have been more.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Lashley is on WWE. They did a lot to get him up the card. He was in the most hyped match at Mania 23 with Vince and Trump.
ReplyDeleteThere....kind of still does. I mean, 9/10ths of the guys and girls who make a go at the field of pro wrestling burn out, wash out, or find something better to do that doesn't rely on them beating their bodies to shit day in and day out for nickel and dime wages. That last 1% stick it out and MAYBE...MAYBE they go beyond wrestling in a high school gym in front of 12 drunk hillbillies.
ReplyDeleteOkay Fall Brawl 96 time
ReplyDeleteStarted!
ReplyDeleteFor sure. He washed out big time.
ReplyDeleteJust started the show.
ReplyDeleteHoly fuck. The classic SNL is Kevin Spacey/Beck tomorrow
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Art. Lashley failed on his own, once he opened his mouth. At that point, he became Virgil on steroids.
ReplyDeleteI bet Scott Hall signed with GFW because his son is in the Bullet Club in NJPW and will probably end up in GFW.
ReplyDeleteIt cannot be overstated just how cool Hall & Nash were at this time.
ReplyDelete"Is that the grenade?"
ReplyDelete"That's my dick!"
"Why is it hard?!"
No.
ReplyDeleteTony/Heenan/Dusty was the only announcing trio that ever worked.
ReplyDelete22 Jump Street is the rare comedy sequel that's better than the first.
