Scott,
It's too bad the roles were switched for Brass Ring Club and New Day. With Payback being in Baltimore, it would have been a great chance to dress the BRC in police uniforms and have them use a bunch of back breakers on New Day. I'm going to hell.
Yeah, I don’t watch the news, so “whoosh” as far as I’m concerned. But I’ll assume that was a tasteless remark and you’re a terrible person for doing so. Let me top you: I’ve been thinking recently that Homicide and Suicide should team up and call their team “Chris Benoit”.
There, horribly tasteless AND accessible to those of us in the wrestling bubble!
I still say the New Day cementing their heel turn with some ultra-violence to turn into a modern day Nation of Domination, and Baltimore would be the PERFECT place to do it.
ReplyDeleteWCW missed the ball by not having Midnight and Dustin Rhodes as an intergender team called Midnight Cowboy.
ReplyDeleteWILL YOU STOP?!
ReplyDeleteYou are correct, sir.
ReplyDeleteIt will never happen.
I don't want them to be NoD. They're perfect as they are.
ReplyDeleteKinda hard to say that when you have a face full of pillow.
ReplyDeleteUnrelated post, cause you know, we have no generic thread right now.
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite song written (I believe it was) for a movie:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grP22coLFhw
Ran during the opening credits, totally set the perfect one. Love the movie, btw. Hoss will be covering this if he ever gigs out again.
It's working now, but I was totally hoping for a massively violent heel faction before we got theme blue New Day.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of missed opportunities, how have we managed to go through a Big Show heel turn without the obligatory three pay-per-view feud with John Cena? Also, Judgement Day 2009 is a pretty good show.
ReplyDeleteCena- Show have probably had dozens of televised matches by now. Has a single one broke *** yet?
ReplyDeleteI don't necessarily want them to be NOD either, but them trying to find the positive and then leaving their opponents in figurative pools of their own blood when the crowd won't get behind their positivity is something I'd like to see.
ReplyDeleteDid Russo write that email?
ReplyDeleteI want the opposite - MORE MORE MORE chickenshit heeling and hypocrisy, with Woods untouched until the appropriate time.
ReplyDeleteNew Day may be one of the few times in history a black heel group wasn't some sort of stereotype (Gang Member, African Savage, Criminal, Race Baiter, Evil Dancers, etc). I really enjoy them. Lets not ruin them by making them about race. They are very unique as they are.
ReplyDeleteShuckin' and jivin' black Southern preachers isn't a religious stereotype? That's partially what turned them heel in the first place, that they WERE just another stereotype. They've overcome that by stealing from Bo Dallas, but it was there to start.
ReplyDeleteThey may have started as a stereotype. But the core of their gimmick now isn't. The core of their gimmick is now 3 egotistical jerks who think everyone like them when everyone hates them. That has nothing to do with race, and I am glad to find a black heel group who found a niche outside of race.
ReplyDeleteWell, we could have had them as well dressed, well spoken assholes who just beat the shit out of people who crossed them. Instead, we have this, which evolved out of backlash for stereotyped crap I though was on par with the crows in Dumbo.
ReplyDeleteKind of an odd turn of events, but not without precedent in wrestling. Honky Tonk Man was a babyface when he debuted in the WWF, but he bombed so bad that they *had* to turn him. That worked out nicely. Hope this does too.
I want them to come out in whiteface.
ReplyDeleteAwesome show! Roster was really deep during that period and somehow the Big Show is the one feuding with Cena.
ReplyDeleteMISSED OPPORTUNITY:
ReplyDeleteHeidenreich vs. Sami Zayn in a Final Solution match. It's like that Undertaker/Dudleyz Concrete Match but instead of a Glass Chamber that fills with cement... well, it rhymes with Glass Chamber.
Making fun of DX?
ReplyDeleteSO FUCKING PERFECT.
ReplyDeleteOr, maybe just making fun of Cesaro, Kidd and Nattie. I'd accept that.
BIGGER MISSED OPPORTUNITY:
ReplyDeleteAvatar vs Kwang
WWE listened to their fans on New Day. I would say New Day was a stereotype before hand, but more than anything, I was simply confused by New Day. Why were we supposed to cheer them? It was never established. The audience started booing New Day so WWE turned them heel, and made them awesome as a result. I dont know why WWE doesn't listen to their audience more often. If they did, we could have a badass Roman Reigns crushing everyone as a heel, and Big Show and Kane curtain jerking right now.
ReplyDeleteRoman as the hand-picked corporate champion powebombing people with the assistance of J&J Security would be fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to see Kwang v Savio Vega. It was like they just missed each other in the WWF.
ReplyDeleteIt sometimes takes them awhile to listen, if they do at all. DBry leading up to WM 30 is the best most recent example. The New Day thing happened more quickly, and makes me think someone backstage said, "Well, let's try turning them heel and see what happens." The only other alternative was to just forget they existed, and apparently, those in power weren't ready for that yet.
ReplyDeleteLike an Amtrak train, these comments are going off the rails.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but I'm digging on Rollins in his role.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing that Savio managed to find time off from his busy schedule as a Caribbean legend to help Razor Ramon in that match.
ReplyDeleteTOO LATE. Your humor is offends me because its offensiveness isn't timely enough.
ReplyDeleteBah.
ReplyDeleteKane vs Diesel 2.0 vs Isaac Yankem DDS or GTFO.
I have no question that Rollins is going to start getting major cheers within the next couple of months because of how awesome he is. If WWE is smart, they will take that as an opportunity to do a double turn where the Authority kicks Rollins out and replaces him with Reigns. That will probably be best for both guys.
ReplyDeleteWinner faces the Christmas Creature.
ReplyDeleteHall & Nash vs Fake Razor & Fake Diesel would've been hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI had to look that up.
ReplyDeleteman, fuck you for subjecting me to that 20 seconds or so that I was able to stomach.
I think we need a comment from Snitsky to abort this thread.
ReplyDeleteSeth Rollins, leader of WWE's NXT Generation.
ReplyDelete:: punts thread ::
ReplyDeleteBUT IT WASN'T HIM!
ReplyDeleteNazi Destructor vs Tomer Shalom : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1KbWjvb55g YAY WRESTLING !
ReplyDeleteI suddenly feel better about the Schindler's List joke I made in yesterday's daily thread.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6u32r_heidenreich-snitsky_sport greatest promo in wrestling history.
ReplyDeleteThat ending might be the best and worst thing I've ever seen. The fact that they were willing to go all the way with it is both fascinating and horrifying.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I just watched gay foreplay.
ReplyDeleteWrong. This is. And you're welcome.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3MkuJdfPw4
Reigns staring coldly at fans and saying 'shut up, or I'll Superman punch your mother' would be excellent heel heat.
ReplyDeleteI'm not crazy about Payback tonight but it's a good day to renew the network anyway. I'll get Payback, NXT Special this week, Elimination Chamber and Money In The Bank for my bucks. Not bad.
ReplyDeleteThere was, I think, an episode of Smackdown around the holidays where Kane had a bunch of garland on him, and Lawler said he looked like a Christmas Creature. Pretty sure that was the last time Lawler was funny.
ReplyDeleteThere's a PPV tonight? I legitimately did not know that
ReplyDeleteCould use another email and get May for free
ReplyDelete4 shows for 10 bucks? Even your mother wouldn't give that good of a deal.
ReplyDeleteI've decided to return my Daniel Bryan action figure to Stamford. Every time I take it out of the package and play with it, it breaks.
ReplyDeleteYeah but I was going to renew it for MITB anyway, might as well do it now.
ReplyDeleteSnitsky was one of my favorites. "When I'm done with you Kane, you're gonna be the one crying like a baby. Waaahhh, waaaaah, waaaaaaaah!"
ReplyDeleteJJ Redick, Matt Barnes, and Jamal Crawford are gonna be kicking themselves all offseason. They missed about 800 shots in the last 3 games.
ReplyDeleteUnrelated, but, Golden State is going to thump Houston.
ReplyDeleteWhy do I have this feeling that Houston is going to shock them?
ReplyDeleteThe Clippers have to get some new forwards this offseason. GM Doc is making Coach Doc's job so much more difficult. Who else besides Griffin and Paul do you trust to pull them out of a hole?
ReplyDeleteGolden State annihilated Houston in the regular season. bad matchup. People keep questioning the Warriors for some reason, as if they're 67 wins came out of thin air.
ReplyDeleteActually I'm not questioning them at all. It's just this feeling I'm getting. I don't care if I'm right or wrong since as far as sports go, the NBA ranks pretty low for me.
ReplyDeleteWhat was it?
ReplyDeleteI like Lawler, but always felt he was overrated as a color commentator.
ReplyDeleteThey should get that Lebron James guy. I hear he's pretty good.
ReplyDeleteNope.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCDAfa-NI-M
I stand by my choice. Not much of one for funk.
ReplyDeleteI still feel sorry for Russo that he was branded a racist when he's the farthest thing from it. I suppose I'm the only one that got where he was coming from in that interview.
ReplyDeleteFor reference, the only 60-win/+10 point differential team that didn't win it all lost to a 69 win/+12 point differential team in the conference finals.
ReplyDeleteOh God, not again
ReplyDeleteI don't think he's a racist, but a guy that would exploit a major news controversy? Absolutely.
ReplyDeleteLATE whistle, and the only contact was Harden pushing off.
ReplyDeleteHave the live channel playing in the background and they're airing the Roman Reigns special and some girl was on there talking about how she's a huge fan of Reigns because she used to be bullied in school and I'm sitting here like the fuck does that have to do with Reigns and what would Reigns know about having to overcome bullying? The fuck is going on here?
ReplyDeleteWatching the sopranos for the first time (6 episodes in). Dr Jennifer melfi is hot. I can't wait for Tony's mother to die; I can't stand her
ReplyDeleteThat is the smallest ring I have ever seen. It's been about 10 years for me. So I forget. Is that a normal sized ring? I couldng even fit my bed in there.
ReplyDeleteRandom recollection.
ReplyDeleteI was in Brussels, getting a little hungry. So, I wandered into this shop to buy some bread. There was this big fucker behind the counter; he was at least 6'4; full of muscles. Fearing a problem with communication - I had never really learned French - I asked him if spoke English. Dude gave a huge smile, which was totally disarming, and gave me a vegemite sandwich.
Shit was foul.
Clearly, he was bullied by The Authority.
ReplyDeleteThen bring in Genocide and call the faction Sabu.
ReplyDelete*Hisses*
ReplyDeleteHeretic, apostate, blasphemer!
Obviously it didn't have enough Vegemite.
ReplyDeleteSpoiler: everything goes black
ReplyDeleteDude seemed think I was from Australia or something.
ReplyDeleteZombie Curt Hennig.
ReplyDeleteWell, duh.
ReplyDeleteI mean basically everybody does die.
ReplyDeleteSpoiler alert.
What kind of knife were you carrying?
ReplyDeleteI found out from the posters on this blog
ReplyDeleteYeah I heard not to smack my tv when it goes black
ReplyDeleteIt comes with a title belt, but one day it just disappears.
ReplyDeleteI really like his shirt that says that on prowrestlingtees. i havn'et wore a wrestling shirt since grade school but it's pretty sweet.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.prowrestlingtees.com/they-call-him-a-maniac.html
It's free if you purchase the WWE Network for the low low price of $0.00.
ReplyDeleteJust a little blade. Looked something like this.
ReplyDeletehttp://i497.photobucket.com/albums/rr331/palmerproperties/100_6581.jpg
I also met this weird broad; made me a little nervous. I was driving a trashed out Kombi down some hippie trail. But, she did feed me a solid breakfast.
I like good food.
Thank God Hitler didn't have Sabu at his disposal.
ReplyDeleteJesus, dude. It's not like he's Sin Cara.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if Germany could manufacture enough tables in order to properly harness his destructive capabilities.
ReplyDeleteIs this our daily/night thread?
ReplyDeleteIt's the thread til the PPV starts
ReplyDeleteLet's say that Xavier Woods keeps interfering in the match. They could have the cops escort him out forcefully. That's money, right? Right?
ReplyDeleteHe was teased and bullied about his long, luxurious hair as a teenager, obviously.
ReplyDeleteThose girls were so jealous, and the guys wanted to run their fingers through it. In a manly way, of course.
Matt Barnes? Yeah. The other two? No! As long as they get their shots then they are good.
ReplyDeleteEven though WWE was instructing us to do just that 10 years ago.
ReplyDeleteAnybody looking for a really good recent movie should definitely check out "Let's Kill Ward's Wife".
ReplyDeleteHilarious movie and I say that as somebody who admittedly hates Patrick Wilson movies (with the exception of this film and Morning Glory).
Just turned on "This Week in WWE" to get caught up before the PPV. Oh lawd, they're going to do "Kane's choice" in the main event again, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteLove how somebody argued in one of the threads claimed that one of the reasons why WWE is so stagnant is because USA always wants stars to be prominently featured on RAW and my first thought upon reading that was "Who in their mind thinks Kane is a star?".
ReplyDeleteI really wanna watch Mad Men tonight but this PPV is getting in the way!
ReplyDeleteAdam Rose and Tyler Breezr should be called up as a full time tag team.
ReplyDeleteWow mad max got its ass beat by pitch perfect. Movie made over 70 million
ReplyDeleteHe's from the Attitude era, when USA would get 5.0s on Monday Night. It wouldn't be far-fetched to them ink that's the reasons.
ReplyDeleteI'm watching mad men. I really don't care about the ppv
ReplyDeleteSo i had a dream last night, where as part of it i saw the card for Elimination Chamber. i can't remember all of it but i can recall a few items, which if correct give away results for tonight.
ReplyDelete1) New Day defends the Tag Titles in the elimination Chamber, which means they retain tonight.
2) Rusev mocked Cena by defending his US title in a open Challenge, so he must regain his title tonight.
3) Connor of the Ascension was in a singles match in the pre-show, so not only does Axel/Sandow win tonight but The Ascension likely breaks up as well.
Remember these are only spoilers if you believe not only in psychic powers but also that i have them. Personally, I believe it's just a random dream.
Yeah but I highly doubt that USA would want them to feature the exact same guys from that era. Rob Estes had a popular show on USA 15 years ago but you don't see him on any of their current series.
ReplyDeleteI never saw much of his wrestling outside of WWF, just what was included in "I'm From Hollywood" pretty much, so I've never even really been a fan. He's had a couple good jokes, but that's a pretty shit ratio for 17-ish years of talking.
ReplyDeleteI had a dream once that Regal and Finley were stiffing each other so much that they eventually fell in love and started wearing each others clothes.
ReplyDeleteSeriously.
Is the show really that good?
ReplyDeleteDoes stiffing each other mean something different now?
ReplyDeleteNo spoilers!
ReplyDeleteNo, in this case it really did refer to the ring work.
ReplyDeleteYes. Not breaking bad or wire good, but in the second tier
ReplyDeleteWho's dick you gotta suck to get a PPV thread?
ReplyDeleteI'm personally excited it's ending.
ReplyDeleteTo quote Orgazmo: "It doesn't have the spirit of the original".
ReplyDeleteThat line could be used to describe both movies, by the way.
Shouldn't the April PPV be Payback since it's often Mania rematches. *shrug*
ReplyDeleteIt's Payback for Extreme Rules which was backlash for WrestleMania.
ReplyDeleteI guess technically he's a recognizable star, but I can't imagine who would think he's someone fans would be interested in seeing in an important main event role... for 2 straight PPVs.
ReplyDeleteDo you remember in 1999 when WCW was making a deal with nbc? They were specifically making the deal with WCW to bring back Hogan and Savage.
ReplyDeleteThis is like that episode of RAW two months ago where interest in the show was so low that a review of the show wasn't even put up on Meltzer's site until the next day.
ReplyDeleteHogan and Savage in 1999 were still far more relevant than Kane has been at any point in the past 15 years. Don't think we're ever going to see Kane appearing on the Tonight Show or even the freaking Late Late Show for that matter.
ReplyDeleteHow long do you have to hold out on putting up a PPV thread to get your dick sucked?
ReplyDelete93 Bret Hart
ReplyDelete94 Owen Hart
95 Shawn Michaels
96 Steve Austin
97 Mankind
98 Rock
99 HHH
00 Angle
01 Jericho
02 Brock
So, how long before USA says "yeah, we're good, thanks" and RAW/SD! become "Network Exclusive!" shows? Five years? Ten? Never?
ReplyDelete#WeWantLana
ReplyDeleteFive years.
ReplyDeleteNever. That's like the one show people are trained to tune in and watch.
ReplyDelete*whose
ReplyDeleteUSA love Raw and are involved in the show (suggesting ideas and such) it wouldn't make sense for them to get rid of it, and WWE don't want to make all their shows Network exclusive.
ReplyDeleteCable will probably be dead by ten years so I'd say WWE would stay till the inevitable demise of cable.
ReplyDeletePPV thread is up.
ReplyDeleteUntil cable stops existing.
ReplyDeleteAs long as advertisers pay to get a Raw spot.
ReplyDeleteTo quote Orgazmo again, "why would we call them the 'Naughty Twins' ...when they get fucked in the ass all the time?"
ReplyDelete"...well, that's pretty naughty."
"Who's Dick? You gotta suck to get a PPV thread."
ReplyDeleteWell... get sucking, Richard.
A regime change at USA could change that relationship quickly.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad this didn't turn into a Jim Neidhart joke.
ReplyDeleteLeave and don't come back.
ReplyDeleteI rather like the idea of a few British Tommies resting an a trench while one peers over the rampart with a trench periscope.
ReplyDelete"Oh! That's not very promising at all..."
"What's that Sarge?"
"The rotten Hun have got tables set up four-across in No Man's Land."
I'll come back as my evil alter ego Grover Steaknife.
ReplyDeleteI'm just saying -- TV executives are stupid.
ReplyDeleteSomeone really needs to start doing a non spoilers thread when each PPV is done. Just saying if the show is worth it or not. That way if people want to wait for the replay instead of chancing it they could.
ReplyDeleteYou'll be facing your judgement day for confusing me like that.
ReplyDeleteCable is no where close to dying. I don't get why people would think this. For many that have streaming services, there are still many that don't (can't understand how it works, etc). I know plenty of people that have netflix and cable.
ReplyDeleteI liked Hard Candy. It made me extremely uncomfortable, but it was a good flick.
ReplyDeleteUmmmmm....this was clearly the WWE's plans from Day 1. Make them such nauseating babyfaces that they'd turn heel because fans don't dig them. Had nothing to do with listening to fans - simply following through on the original idea
ReplyDeleteWe'll do this on the Battleground my friend where I'll hit you with the Summerslam.
ReplyDeleteCounter strike with the Dudleys?
ReplyDeleteI have both.
ReplyDeleteBonnie Hammer runs NBCUniversal Cable. Even if Jamie fucking Kellner was put in charge of USA Network WWE would still have a spot every Monday night because she's been the company's strongest supporter for decades. You'd need to have an entire reorganization of NBCUniversal from the top down for WWE to disappear from cable.
ReplyDeleteI'd still have Edge win in 01 (he needed the credibility more than Jericho) but otherwise, I agree totally.
ReplyDeleteI think you are right about 2001.
