ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY
ReplyDeleteGood weather for bbq
ReplyDeleteIdea for the US Open Challenge: Undertaker. He is gonna be at Raw for the Austin podcast anyway.
ReplyDeleteI doubt Vince can afford a million bucks for a Raw episode
ReplyDeleteHmm. Go Blackhawks, I suppose. "Wayward Pines" and "Louie" are all that's on...PPV livewatch, anybody? Ideas if so?
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of ridiculous improvement from 2006 to 2010... here's Vickie Guerrero!!
ReplyDeleteFuck it. Rikishi
ReplyDeleteOh great. The lady's flight won't arrive until 0130. Guess I'll bum around Robinson and crush some Mad Mex to kill time.
ReplyDeleteI'm halfway through No Mercy 06 in honor of TNA.
ReplyDeleteRey-Chavo Falls Count Anywhere? Sure why not?
ReplyDeleteExplain.
ReplyDeleteChavo makes five for the TNA Veteran counter.
ReplyDeleteLiterally every match has a TNA guy so far.
Literally every match so far has had a prominent member of the TNA roster. I was joking at first but its held up.
ReplyDeleteTNA is Smackdown 06.
Ewww, one of the Duggars was molesting a few of his sisters for years. Keep having kids, you're going to get a molester eventually.
ReplyDeleteTNA as a whole
ReplyDelete(instead of BONERS, you see)
Hahah. Got it.
ReplyDeleteRosie as in SHIT?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I mean that's just an odds thing there. Thirty kids, you're gonna get one with a broken brain.
ReplyDelete*shrugs*
ReplyDeleteYour night of Sleaze:
ReplyDeleteHawk started taking Rhesus Monkey hormones, which were big in the bodybuilding community at the time. He told Bill Watts that every morning his first thought when he woke up would be that he wanted to kill somebody. "That's a wonderful way to live." said Watts.
And a bonus:
During PG-13's run in ECW, Sandman starts dressing down Jamie Dundee in the locker room over some sort of breach in ECW locker room etiquette (whatever the hell that means). Jamie Dundee replies: "I was on Wrestlemania, bitch! What the fuck have you done?!"
Boners are a thing that is up, TNA is a thing that's going down.
ReplyDeleteJust one?
ReplyDeleteHmm. Perhaps instead of a single PPV, a tiptoe through the tulips that is TNA's biggest fuckups. First...hmm, let's go with Sting/Jeff Hardy.
ReplyDeleteI might have to start following this guy
ReplyDeleteKevin Gedert @KevinGedert2 15m15 minutes ago
@davemeltzerWON still salty they tossed you from the Ryder conference call and laughed at you?
Kevin Gedert @KevinGedert2 16m16 minutes ago
@davemeltzerWON you're just a sad pathetic hack with an axe to grind against TNA
I'm willing to contribute $10 to buying TNA
ReplyDeleteSo far. Only so much genetic code to go around.
ReplyDeleteHeh, the molester Duggar was of course a big muckity muck in the Family Research Council.
ReplyDeletebecause you would get real heart broken to not have to talk to Ryder any more
ReplyDeleteI'd throw some of the great matches rendered forgotten and obsolete by the rest of the promotion being horrible too.
ReplyDeleteAngle-Wolfe
Storm-Roode deathmatch
Angle-Anderson
The Jamie Dundee story is positively awesome.
ReplyDeleteApparently the mom and dad knew. Most importantly, they live in Arkansas where brothers and sisters "play" with each other
ReplyDeleteThat's Bob Ryder DAMMIT!!!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, admission - heel Jeff's theme was not ACTUALLY a bad song.
ReplyDeleteWade's about to get taken to the woodshed as a newly deemed Suppressive Person
ReplyDeleteDoomTribe @adric4life 4m4 minutes ago
@thewadekeller why is @davemeltzerWON not being asked questions about the veracity of and who the source of his alleged story is
Wade Keller @thewadekeller 3m3 minutes ago
@adric4life @davemeltzerWON - So far he stands by his story and @IMPACTWRESTLING has yet to actually dispute it in any specific way.
If he hadn't been fucked up that match he could have been one of the most hateable heels of all time.
ReplyDeleteLol at wanting him to out his source. People are dumb.
ReplyDeleteHeel Jeff really wasn't bad. The belt, of course, was putrid.
ReplyDeleteC.M. Punk was right!
ReplyDeleteOf course. But that was the point of the belt. Heel Jeff designed it!
ReplyDeletehttps://twitter.com/RealKevinNash/status/601532975969411072/photo/1
ReplyDeleteEmo Junkie/Maniac/Artiste was such a fantastic idea for a heel character. It was like everybody's worst opinion of Jeffrey given life.
ReplyDeleteHey look, the guy currently suing TNA for money. Well, one of 'em at least.
ReplyDeleteSoon it will be all of them.
ReplyDeleteRunning a 6 month tournament designed to elevate Bobby Roode to main event level then booking him to blow the big match because Hogan didn't want the spotlight stolen from him and Sting shambling around for 10 minutes.
ReplyDeleteAustin Idol convinced a promoter to put up a real $10,000 check for one of those battle royals in the early 1980's. The promoter did, Idol won, took the check and immediately left the arena.
ReplyDeleteThat check probably bounced higher than a Superball.
The gimmick was that Ron Fuller put his boat on the line in a match. I do not think Fuller was wrestling but anyway none the less, Garvin won the match and "won" the boat. Garvin had a legit blow up with Fuller. Garvin tells Fuller he is keeping the boat. Fuller sues Garvin in court for the return of the boat. To keep kayfabe Fuller has to admit under oath wrestling is real and the results are not predetermined. Fullers testifies that Garvin won the match and one of the conditions of the match was the winner gets the boat. The Judge throws out the suit because Garvin won the match fair and square, Fuller ends up losing the boat.
Vince would have kept the boat.
Actually my phone being a dumb ass and correcting episode in into Rosie :/ somehow.
ReplyDeleteI interpret that differently. That loss lead to heel Bobby Roode which was fundamentally awesome for a long long time.
ReplyDeleteSuppressive Person! Suppressive Person!
ReplyDeleteDoomTribe @adric4life 6m6 minutes ago
@thewadekeller so at this point I would think getting a response from DA should settle the issue
Wade Keller @thewadekeller 5m5 minutes ago
@adric4life I'm not rooting for TNA to be cancelled. I think TNA has an easy role here. Just state DestAm has not cancelled them. Period.
rb2014 @rbaskins2014 3m3 minutes ago
@thewadekeller @adric4life They are not cancelled now and DA isn't going to say they aren't cancelling anyone because of a gossip column.
Wade Keller @thewadekeller 1m1 minute ago
@rbaskins2014 @adric4life - Calling @davemeltzerWON a "gossip column" is misinformed or disrespectful. Right or wrong here, he's not that.
http://www.slashfilm.com/hannibal-season-3-promo/
ReplyDeleteHannibal Season 3 looks AMAZING.
Ex-TNA guys are going be the new version of ECW guys on shoots, where "how much are you still owed?" will be one of the first questions. Shane Douglas sighing "oh, 150 grand" to that question from Austin was sadly amusing.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually replying to you while sitting :/ the can
ReplyDeleteCan't wait.
ReplyDeleteW.I.N.N.I.N.G. in the U.S.A.
ReplyDeleteExcept Bobby Roode, happily eating his dog food.
ReplyDeleteJeff's never ending T-shirt fakeouts, oh boy.
ReplyDeleteNow seriously, where did that one start?
ReplyDeleteFirst match without a TNA alumni at 1:48:24! So of course its Benoit uncomfortably close to the end.
ReplyDeleteI like how wrestling fans just automatically assume it's someone in wrestling (eager to paint them as a disgruntled liar), when it's likely someone from the network. Just once I'd like to see Dave say "it's Rodney Jenkins from the PR department," and watch the fans try to process that.
ReplyDeleteBobby Roode can only afford dog food on what they pay him in TNA. He's crying because he reminded them to resign him when his contract lapsed.
ReplyDeleteHad that not happened, I could see him finishing his career in TNA.
ReplyDeleteSting with one of the all time SON I AM DISAPPOINT faces after successfully holding Jeff down for 3 seconds.
ReplyDeleteOh my god, TNA would have driven Benoit-Angle into the ground until they teamed up to murder about twenty five people in a supermarket or something.
ReplyDeleteIf he did to Dixie what he did to Nancy... and of course DIDN'T do it to Nancy or Daniel as a result...
ReplyDeleteIs he a hero, or the Heroiest Hero That Ever Heroed?
They won't dignify a "gossip column" with a response, but they will threaten to sue?
ReplyDeleteI agree, I agree
ReplyDeleteNo. He's still a murderer.
ReplyDeleteHeroiest Hero it is!
ReplyDeleteIt's gold. There's more to this, Wade's been engaging this idiot further, but I think I finally burned myself out on this.
ReplyDeleteOkay white folks please explain David Letterman to me. Actually, I think I need an explanation on the world of white comedy. It seems like these guys (white comedians, male and female) only care about making each other laugh instead of the audience. Also, why do they hate Fallon so much? Why is there a rule saying comedians have to be mean jerks?
ReplyDeletetl:dr: I don't understand white people.
I'm sure Dundee is positive for a lot of things
ReplyDeleteLetterman showed up at a time where every comedian was 100% trying to be universally loved. Him being a sarcastic, bored asshole made him stand out and was riotously funny compared to say Leno. He gave no fucks about what he was doing and would just go "that didn't work" when a joke fell flat.
ReplyDeletePeople hate Fallon because every single sketch he did on SNL including the fake news would involve him fucking up and laughing at something funny he did. He ruined every skit he was in and only brought more attention to himself.
Racist.
ReplyDeleteWhite people comedy like THIS but black people comedy like THIS
ReplyDelete#rekt
ReplyDeleteI understand the SNL years hate, but what's wrong with his show? Watching him play games with celebs isn't my thing but I don't see why it's angered so many writers/comedians.
ReplyDeleteWell, that would mean that black comedy exist. Spoiler: it doesn't. Hollywood only allows one black comic at a time. Right now it's Kevin Hart.
ReplyDeleteCurrently scanning my book shelves for something to read while I take shits.
ReplyDeleteIt's because he doesn't care about carrying on what used to be an institution of the "Respected comedian." He goes for the cheap laugh and seems aimed more at generating Youtube clips than viewers for his actual show. Metaphorically speacking, for Late Night shows he's turned "Wrestling" into "Sports Entertainment."
ReplyDeleteThat's kind of what I was thinking. Fallon is like the Hulk Hogan of comedians in that he's just trying to draw money.
ReplyDeleteGlad someone else admitted to not getting the appeal of Letterman.
ReplyDeleteCornette had the ribbon on top of that whole sorry situation after that match - "I need to come up with a new face" on Twitter.
ReplyDeletePleasant
ReplyDeleteI'd argue he's the Cena.
ReplyDeleteLeno's the Hogan. Absolutely hated by educated fans, highest ratings ever, complete cookie cutter sensibility, ridiculous heel turn.
I hate Fallon because he couldn't stop the stupid "I'm almost breaking character by giggling" bit on SNL. Seriously, like every fucking sketch.
ReplyDeleteI've chuckled at some of his stuff but he was never appointment viewing. Of course, he never booked guest that appealed to me either so there is that.
ReplyDeleteIn fairness he hasn't given a shit in over a decade.
ReplyDeleteBoD
ReplyDeletePerhaps a potty training book.
ReplyDeleteAlright, that works.
ReplyDeleteUh....lol
ReplyDeleteTyler Perry, Chris Rock, Craig Robinson, the entirety of the WB, they all disagree
Black comedy clubs do crazy gangbuster money in the cities too
I loved Test and Albert as a tag team.
ReplyDeleteComedians want their stuff to be edgy, not milquetoast. Fallon is carrying the legacy of Leno.
ReplyDeleteLol, I just wrote the same thing about Fallon. Seriously, it's like he saw David Spade and Christina Applegate almost pissing themselves during the first Matt Foley sketch and was like "IMMA DO THAT EVERY TIME!"
ReplyDeleteTyler Perry isn't a comedian but I feelz ya. He's black so close enough. Who's on the WB? Is that still active?
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't know I'm just going off the top of my head, I thought there were still lots of sitcoms on that channel
ReplyDeleteAre you accusing Hart of killing Patrice O'Neal?
ReplyDeleteImagine if it turns out that Roman Reigns has bulimia and that's the reason he doesn't have the typical Samoan wrestler build.
ReplyDeleteHah, looking for stuff on the match, I came across a thread on Reddit that included it, 30 Shitty Matches in 30 Days. Why not, lol.
ReplyDeleteYou have to look for the trainwrecks on Letterman
ReplyDeleteLetterman vs Bieber
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GNbHJEEfz8
Hannibal Burris.
ReplyDeleteI think that has been defunct for years. And Chris Rock only works when his white comedy friends throw him a bone.
ReplyDeleteSome gimmick match where if he lost he had to eat dog food.
ReplyDeleteSo sad. Though that guy was like...so opposed to success it's not like he'd be doing anything if he was still alive
ReplyDeleteC'mon Marv... The WB stopped existing like fifteen years ago.
ReplyDeleteHe just made a hugely successful doc by himself.
ReplyDeleteIt would be hilarious if anorexia resulted in sculpted physiques in Samoans.
ReplyDeleteNo Letterman tonight
ReplyDeleteOr ever
End of an era
Now that I think about this a bit it starts to make a bit of sense. Comedians want the late night to be NXT when it has to be Raw. At least the 11:30 slot has to be.
ReplyDeleteQuick question:
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of shoots do you want on the poll this week? TNA guys or ECW guys.
Whatever the channel is now that is almost all black. It used to be UPN then WB I don't know what it's called now
ReplyDeleteWhat's the name of it?
ReplyDeleteOne of my favortie Onion headlines ever: "African Americans Demand Less Representation on WB."
ReplyDeleteAt least 15 years too late.
ReplyDeleteOh well who the hell under 50 watches celebs pimp their latest movies anyways nowadays?
This question kind of makes the whole thing funny for me, but who's Jamie Dundee?
ReplyDeleteThe CW. It's the one with all the teenage girl shows.
ReplyDeleteMan, this is hilarious. That's why I love you guys.
ReplyDeleteECW's been dead, but it's probably best to shoot TNA already
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't put it past him. It's a cut-throat game out here.
ReplyDeleteSomething about the Comedy Strip but I don't remember, was never a fan of Rock
ReplyDeleteThank you! I don't get it, either!
ReplyDeleteI can't watch at work but I'll mark it for when I get home.
ReplyDeleteThe CW. There we go.
ReplyDeleteMichael Hayes on the LOW roundtable - they were in the middle of booking, one person is talking about Brisco and Patterson, someone else is talking about Lita and Trish having a bra and panties match. Vince, not really listening, mixes the two, says "you're right" and books it.
ReplyDeleteaka "The one with those people on it. You know the one"
ReplyDeleteI want the Spivey shoot and until then will remain indifferent to your 'polls'.
ReplyDeleteI used to listen to the radio broadcast of The Tonight Show the last year or so when Carson hosted (I wasn't allowed to have a tv in my room until I was an adult). I haven't cared about any of those shows since then.
ReplyDeleteYep that's exactly it.
ReplyDeleteTop Five was really good.
ReplyDeleteNew shoot poll this week: The first four shoots posted I will throw up in a poll. And go
ReplyDeleteWhy are they talking about Money In The Bank on Smackdown?
ReplyDeleteElimination Chamber is next afterall.
Dave literally has no idea who this person is.
ReplyDeleteHe turns outright hostile around seven minutes in.
He seems fake as shit.
ReplyDeleteBrisco comes out to "Real American." Hogan shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaade
ReplyDeleteAbout six minutes in
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GNbHJEEfz8
Have you done the new Cornette WCW timeline one?
ReplyDeleteIt was posted today
ReplyDeleteYou serious? wow. Guess he was firmly in cranky old man phase. My personal favorite Letterman moment involved Norm MacDonald. Norm was supposed to be Monday's guest but got bumped to Tuesday. They did this until Friday. It was funny everyday
ReplyDeleteWould that make Carson the Ric Flair of Talk Show Hosts?
ReplyDeleteIt's kinda creepy when actresses do older roles where they have nude/sex scenes then do a movie where they play a 16 year old, like Jennifer Lawrence, Alexandra DaDDario, and the chick from Tomorrowland. They should scale their roles better.
ReplyDeleteWow I totally missed it with so many threads being posted today lol
ReplyDeleteI like Conan.
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty much exactly it.
ReplyDeleteSo many Patterson jokes that aren't flying today.
ReplyDeleteI liked it but again, he got a lot of help from his friends. I'm not speaking on his talents but on his ability to get anything green lit.
ReplyDelete"Don't get more tattoos, you see more and more like the Sisteenth Chapel up here."
ReplyDelete"It's not turning into the sixteenth chapel."
" (awkward silence) Canadian High School Everyone!"
We will never see a host more outright hostile towards his guests ever again.
I loved what Jon Stewart did with the Daily Show. He had guests who wrote books. BOOKS!
ReplyDeleteIs there any chance Austin Aries goes to NXT? He can tear the house down.
ReplyDeleteSomething tells me this Tomorrowlqnd movie might not do so well.
ReplyDeleteFour Corners Tag-Team Match?
ReplyDeleteHave they outlawed the Fatal Four-Way name now?
To be fair: None of Jerry's friends get to do much of anything without Jerry's approval
ReplyDeleteMassive hostility from the crowd, only appropriate.
ReplyDeleteReviews have been worse than I hoped.
ReplyDeleteFind the one with Paris Hilton. He kept asking her about jail when she kept saying she didn't want to talk about it. You just reminded me of that one.
ReplyDeleteMaybe with a Rhyno type of deal
ReplyDeleteHow long does it take you guys to shit? I'm in there for MAYBE 4 minutes.
ReplyDeleteIt's possible but I think he needs to tear it up in the indies for a few months and build some buzz. Didn't he get rejected from tough enough once?
ReplyDeleteThe thing is, before moving to CBS Letterman was always a caustic dick like that, the last 15 years is where it got shitty
ReplyDeleteI miss when Dave visibly hated his guests.
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen a Nitro in awhile, kind of in the mood to do so.
ReplyDeleteI remember that!
ReplyDeleteThat was a couple years ago with Bieber.
ReplyDeleteIf he was ten years younger or five inches taller
ReplyDeleteTNA Mecca has reached the point of rape fantasies involving Meltzer.
ReplyDeleteEliDrakeLetMeTalkToYa Simon • 19 minutes ago
Steiner: I'm making you my new freak, bitch! *Drops his pants*
Meltzer: *cries*
I was wondering where Baker had gone...
ReplyDeleteShoot Interview poll is up
ReplyDeletehttp://vote.pollcode.com/71884262
That includes The Flash?
ReplyDeleteYeah and he did it with Paris too, so in 20 years there are a handful of examples of what the show used to always be. People get old. I think the heart attack softened him a LOT
ReplyDeleteWhat an...interesting collection of minds.
ReplyDeletePG 13 guy, came out with the Nation
ReplyDeleteTear the ring down, carry the equipment to and from the truck, unspool cable...
ReplyDeleteI kid I kid.
and Superhero shows. It's a weird channel.
ReplyDeleteLet's go Young Bucks. I still can't figure out who's Matt and who's Nick.
ReplyDeleteThe blackmail and the kidnapping probably did too.
ReplyDeleteMe too. He hires my cousin to be in skits. Well, probably not him personally, but the show.
ReplyDeleteMatt = black hair, think of MATT Hardy
ReplyDeleteNick = blonde hair
Oh Mad Mex, I missed you so bad. This quesadilla doesn't stand a chance.
ReplyDeleteMatt is the one doing the superkick thing
ReplyDeleteNexxxt...#2, KISS Demon vs. Vampiro, graveyard match, BATB 2000.
ReplyDeleteKidnapping? I remember the blackmail from the affair but I have no clue what kidnapping is about
ReplyDeleteNick looks like a girl.
ReplyDelete:: yoink ::
ReplyDeleteNeither do you.
#ALLYOURFOODAREBELONGTOHOSS
Today it has been 14 years since my favorite tag match of all time. Two Man Power Trip vs. the Canadian Chrises!
ReplyDeleteIt's part of the American teen boy rites of passage. You see that girl and she's so hot, and your friend tells you "I saw her in this movie on HBO..."
ReplyDeleteWhat are you doing?
ReplyDeleteI quit watching any sort of late night shows after high school...Maybe Conan for a bit, but he got his balls cut off.
ReplyDeleteA stalker tried to kidnap his son at one point like ten years ago.
ReplyDeleteThere are currently 8 people on commentary on the Smackdown.
ReplyDeleteYou like punishing yourself?
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of people to bitch at in the headsets PAL.
ReplyDelete6 minutes maybe. I tend to do the "winter is coming" pose when I know I'm in for it
ReplyDeleteThat whole show, thou!!!
ReplyDeleteI was going to fill the night with TNA lowlights in response to the Meltzer rumor, but in doing so, discovered an old Reddit thread called 30 Shitty Matches in 30 Days with links to all the picks. So I thought, what the Hell.
ReplyDeleteWow. Yeah that'd change a person
ReplyDeleteEvening Gown Hardcore Match?
ReplyDeletePulled out Bret's book. Started at the WCW part. He randomly rips Dean Malenko. It's hilarious.
ReplyDeletehttps://vine.co/u/913565340267593728
ReplyDeleteEven lapsed Catholics still feel guilt and self-flagellation, lol.
ReplyDeleteAfter the Screwjob, that book reads like a suicide note.
ReplyDeleteIs that episode on the Network?
