  1. You ever see that black fitness model chick. Think she was jamacian...her name was like "Aknowa" or something like that. Fucking STACKED

  2. Speaking of the possibility of a title unification, there's no chance that happens, right? This is WWE trolling us again, it has to be. At the very most, Cena and Orton will face off at TLC for the ethereal "Bragging Rights" with no title on the line.



    Honestly, I wouldn't mind a brutal Cena-Orton TLC match to end the year.

    ReplyDelete
  3. What would John Cena do??

    ReplyDelete
  4. If you're keeping score at home...Vince will be authority figure #6 when he comes back. Yes, 6

    No. I pictured this happening while he was sending this message:

  6. Honestly, I gave up watching the product a long time ago. I'll still skim results or read whatever Scott's recapping, but that's about it. WWE hasn't gotten my money in a long time, nor have they gotten my viewership.


    So my question is this: why do you keep watching? I don't mean that to berate you for watching, I'm honestly asking. Why do you - and by you, I mean whoever's reading this that does still watch - keep watching if you don't like it?


    I mean, hell, after watching half a dozen seasons (some good, some bad) of Dexter, I gave up watching when the series finale was only a couple of episodes away. It got that bad and it was the first time I'd ever given up on a show that late in the game.

    ReplyDelete
  7. The ONLY thing that can make this Authority BS work is if they go crazy and make John Cena the Authority's champ.


    I like that #4 on Raw's preview is asking who the Rock's best WrestleMania rival is. Couldn't even come up with 5 things about tonight's show?

    ReplyDelete
  8. Depends on whether or not the killed off Maddox last week with the Randy Orton beating. Vicki was back on Smackdown, right?

    ReplyDelete
  9. I remember listening to Henry's go-home promo for his MITB match and thinking 'this guy learned how to cut a strong promo without the theatrics'. It set up the match, it explained why it happened the way it did and he ended it with "John Cena, I want this to sink in clear, at Money in the Bank, I'm gonna beat your ass!".

    That's why I want out of my monster heels.

    ReplyDelete
  10. They're still writing it

    ReplyDelete
  11. They can do worse than have Orton wrestle Henry at Rumble as a placeholder feud

    ReplyDelete
  12. As long as this face turn doesn't totally cut Henry's nuts off. I loved him as the miserable monster that split wigs. None of his face turns have worked thus far.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Mini threadjack: In SportsBallHoop news (just trying to relate to the Parallax-like folks on the blog), Derrick Rose is out for the season again. This will mark the third "lost" season in a row for the Bulls despite having a projected 8 man rotation that could compete with any team in the league. I feel like jumping off a bridge at this point. Questions for any NBA fans out there:


    1. Any other stories of woe from other franchises in the past that went through something similar with their 1st or 2nd top player being out for three seasons in a row? I need some consolation at this point.


    2. Go Pacers?

    ReplyDelete

    ..the "Nigerian Powerhouse" She's in the same lane as Serena Williams.

    ReplyDelete
  15. He was pretty over after the face turn a couple months ago. Just depends if they keep him as a bad ass or make a smiling, goofball.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Survivor Series is no longer part of the big 4. Hell, Summerslam is barely apart of it. Really at this point, its the big 2: Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania. The rest are on the same level.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I hope they merge them. If so, it looks like they're going to make a big deal about it. If they do, I bet the IC and US will follow, but they won't make a big deal of it. They'll just annouce it half way through RAW that the IC and US will be merged in the next segment.

    ReplyDelete
  18. At least give everyone the 2 weeks between Christmas and New Years off.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Well, my Utah Jazz this year are 1-14. I watched their first ten games and there's just no hope for this team. They look worse than the Charlotte Bobcats did a season or two ago.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I understand that chest pains are a symptom of larger problem, commonly referred to as Vanilla Midget Angina.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Not a 1-2 top player, but the Yanks traded one of their top prospect catcher/first basement, Jesus Montero, to Seattle for Michael Pineda, a guy who was supposed to be a 1-2 level pitcher, but right after the trade, Pineda injured his shoulder and hasn't pitched in the majors at all in the last two seasons. That was pretty frustrating.

    ReplyDelete
  22. There needs to be a unification match...so yeah, probably not going to happen.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I work year round and don't get 2 weeks off (for Christmas)... not saying what I do is as physically demanding by any means, but there are plenty of professions that are that don't get that kind of time off.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Overcome the odds?

    ReplyDelete
  25. http://youtu.be/HczcZf0TIFY

    ReplyDelete
  26. They did back then also... but the single branded PPV's were a disaster both quality and ratings wise.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Vince came out? What did he say/do?

    ReplyDelete
  28. I would hope it would win... but I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't... that said they wouldn't risk it after they spent a bazillion dollars designing a new one.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Wasn't Orton/Cena one of the rumored Wrestlemania matches along with Brock/Taker and Ryback/Goldberg?

    ReplyDelete
  30. The board of directors is always there as well.

    ReplyDelete
  31. You are a considerate man, that is one lucky Filipino lady...

    ReplyDelete
  32. "I bet you don't call me Chris again"
    "I already did it twice. Chris."

    ReplyDelete
  33. He could still kick your ass even with the bad ticker.

    ReplyDelete
  34. And Rumble is only a big deal because of the Wrestlemania stip

    ReplyDelete
  35. I still enjoy it more than I don't enjoy it. Just because something isn't as good as it could or should be doesn't mean it isn't good.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I thought the Dolphins guy was debunked. Isn't he just using the betting lines to make "predictions"?

    ReplyDelete
  37. Never, ever go Pacers.

    Anyway, between Cliff Alexander's bullshit hat switch with his college pick and Derrick hurting his knee again, Chicago basketball players have ruined consecutive Fridays for me.

    At this point everyone should be available, except maybe Noah and Butler. There's no point in winning 45 games and losing well before the ECF again, if they can even do that. This current rotation had stagnated anyway: Taj has regressed, Deng is again playing way too many minutes, Boozer is a likely amnesty candidate anyway, Teague was a wasted pick, Dunleavy looks washed up.

    Might as well start over and tank for another Simeon guy with Jabari. Or one of the other five future All-Stars in this loaded draft (Wiggins, Exum, Randle, Gordon, Smart).

    ReplyDelete
  38. Yeah, but you're not a wrestler (I'm guessing, anyway) and don't spend most of your time on the road. Giving them a couple weeks off to spend time with their families, or just lay around and rest up, would be best for everyone. Ratings are in the crapper that time of year anyway.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Porn-Peddling Jef VinsonNovember 25, 2013 at 11:21 AM

    UI feel bad for him. He fucked up one leg and overcompensated with the other one and messed that up too. He is Grant Hill 2.0

    ReplyDelete
  40. I'm assuming tonight that they'll make Maddox wrestle again despite complaining about chest paint and collapsing in the ring, just to show Dean who's boss. That's how it works, right?

    ReplyDelete
  41. Porn-Peddling Jef VinsonNovember 25, 2013 at 11:22 AM

    And don't forget Johnny made an appearance last night. He may come back.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Porn-Peddling Jef VinsonNovember 25, 2013 at 11:23 AM

    ...but WWE is smart enough to learn from past mistak....I'm sorry I couldn't say that with a straight face LOL

    ReplyDelete
  43. If they get the No. 1 pick they definitely draft Jabari, right? Not only might he be the consensus top pick by the end of the year anyway, but a Mormon superstar playing for Utah? Too perfect.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Have they tried a smiling, goofball heel yet? Like, just a guy that's really jazzed to be ruining people's shit in the ring?

    ReplyDelete
  45. Yeah, not remotely close to an NBA MVP missing basically 2.5 of the last three seasons. Without hyperbole that probably wasn't 5 percent as bad for the Yankees as this is for the Bulls.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I'm probably in the minority but I really like the current WWE belt.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I like it also. But I think Big Gold is still the best.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Nah, the rumble is a big deal because of the rumble. That's (can) actually still be a pretty interesting/fun match. Even if they changed the stips so that the winner got a title shot next Raw or PPV, I think it would still do good.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Isn't that kind of what Bo Dallas is doing in NXT?

    Some would also argue that Cena kind of already is that type of heel, also.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Didn't either Mark Prior or Kerry Wood miss 2 seasons thanks to shoulder problems? I kind of feel sorry for you Chicago fans, but with the teams you have I also feel like you deserve it. In a just world Boston would be suffering the same way you are right now.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Just thought I'd leave this here...

    ReplyDelete
  52. I love Big Johnny. I'd fully endorse him as HHHs lackey.

    ReplyDelete
  53. You must not follow the NBA.A

    ReplyDelete
  54. Probably, but I have little faith in winning that awful lottery. However, Utah has to draft a star AND someone willing to stay in Salt Lake long-term which is tricky.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Disagree. It's only relevant because it has meaning and they've protected it. The rumble is a cool gimmick match but if they treated it like they have Survivor Series the past few years it would quickly lose meaning.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Yea. That's been bookmarked. Love her

    ReplyDelete
  57. I hate it, but not nearly as much as I hate the current tag titles. Those are just embarrassing.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Why do we deserve it, exactly?

    Also, remember that some of us are White Sox fans.

    ReplyDelete
  59. As long as they don't fall out of the top six they're in good shape. This will be a historic draft.

    I know this seems crazy but I think Utah is in good shape over the next few years if they get Parker, Wiggins or Randle. They have a good young big man duo, an above-average wing in Heyward, and I'm a Trey Burke believer; I think he turns out to be a steal being the 9th pick in a bad draft.

    ReplyDelete
  60. OK, lets go down the list...


    Sox: Best known for having the worst owner in sports history, an owner so bad that he actually got his team to tank the fucking WORLD SERIES. Current owner is also a scumbag.


    Bulls: Fuck Micheal Jordan.


    Cubs: Maybe if you'd stop blindly supporting this shit team they might actually do something to improve it. I mean, why even bother trying to get better when the money is rolling in no matter what. See also: Cleveland Browns, Buffalo Sabres.


    Bears: Cutler is kind of a douche, but I really have nothing against them.


    Hawks: Kane is DEFINITELY a huge douche (pay your fucking cab fare you prick!), but I don't really have anything against them either, as long as they're not playing the Avs at the moment.


    Come to think of it I was a bit harsh. I still stand by my statement about Boston fans though.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Well, you're right, it's not the same, but a lot of people were projecting Pineda to be an ace, and having him disappear for two years after the hype with the trade was definitely a blow to the Yankees' rotation plans.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Probably right. Also, I'm a Vanilla Midget with angina. So I feel his pain.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Not even close. Grant Hill was 10x the player Rose is. Look at Hill's 6 full seasons before he got hurt, he was a stud.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Porn-Peddling Jef VinsonNovember 25, 2013 at 12:21 PM

    How many did Rose play before he got hurt?

    ReplyDelete
  65. Porn-Peddling Jef VinsonNovember 25, 2013 at 12:24 PM

    So in those 3 seasons he was an MVP and the backbone of the Bulls team. Grant Hill did more but played longer. It is comparable.
    Amare could be lumped into the conversation as well.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Amsterdam_Adam_CurryNovember 25, 2013 at 1:13 PM

    And those matches lasted a total of what, 5 minutes? And saw you getting squashed.


    (I never watched the videos. And yes, it totally works here)

    ReplyDelete
  67. I pinned Barry Horowitz clean! How many people can say that?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

    ReplyDelete
  68. Couldn't give less of a shit about Seth McFarlane's retard empire.



    On casting though, I think Wedon even said in an interview that there wasn't much plan to keep Loki around after Thor 1 but that Hiddleston was so damn great in that role that they starting trying to find ways to work him in any way they could. I liked Thor2 but it did seem a little more "Disney" than any of the other films have been so far. Captain America is by far the worst of the bunch, unless you like montages in which case that movie is for you.

    ReplyDelete
  69. As is going to other forums to complain about this one. Hahaha.

    ReplyDelete
  70. MONTAGE. Rogers becomes Captain America in experiment. MONTAGE. Bucky dies. MONTAGE. Red Skull pulls off his face. MONTAGE. End.

  71. Imagine Austin coming in the arena to spray beer...only it's Dougie...and instead of beer it's cunt.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Family Guy stopped being funny when it became a show that was mocked by South Park. FTFY.

    ReplyDelete
  73. As it was said above, Natalie Portman's Jane does remind me of Steph, soooooooo....

    ReplyDelete
  74. I still think Big Show is retiring soon, and this is part of WWE giving him a main-event sendoff. The themes they hit on during the initial "Big Show is broke" angle -- spending time with his family, how many years he has left in wrestling/life, recognizing his wrestling heroes (Dusty) and longtime friends in the business -- as well as Show seeming to go all-out with his acting (crying on cue) and ring work (he dove off the ring apron at least once if I recall) hint to me that this is Show's last run and he's leaving it all in the ring. Even the way they suddenly switched lanes from Show forming a team with Mark Henry to interjecting him into the main event seemed like something they'd do if Show let them know he was planning to retire and they decided to send him off in a big way.

    ReplyDelete
  75. In a MONTAGE!

    ReplyDelete
  76. True enough...don't forget Rhodey being replaced, though he is not on their A-list. Portman is the only one who rubs me the wrong way, but those might be SW prequel memories grating on me.

    ReplyDelete
  77. This is the only sane way to look at it, it's supposed to be "something for everyone" not "everything for me". Like a democracy, it only ever really works if you're pissed about half the time.

    ReplyDelete
  78. No one ever retires really.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Well, putting it that way makes a lot of sense, but Quagmire seemed like he got over his dad becoming his second mother, and he loved the one night stands. Although, we don't exactly need to see frustration for it to play a part. It's just like a heel turn in wrestling, just they haven't totally explained Quagmire's. At least not yet, if they ever plan on it

    ReplyDelete
  80. Well to be honest, Bob's Burgers isn't that great. American Dad, however, is the best adult cartoon out there right now. In my opinion anyways. I don't understand how Seth MacFarlane has both shows going, while one is so bland and the other is so damn good.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Samsung blows iPhones out of the water, that's why they don't need to keep updating and coming out with new ones to cover up their previous fuckups like the iPhone does because Samsung generally gets it right the first time.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Still remember in 2010 how "Cap" writers Mark Waid and Ed Brubaker talking about how they had to cast Jon Hamm as "no way Chris Evans can be a believable leader of the Avengers."
    How's that crow taste, guys?

    ReplyDelete
  83. But then they job out the guys who win the briefcase and then if they do win it, they only hold the title for a month or 2.

    ReplyDelete
  84. I'm no CM Punk...but I think you were suppose to say hear me out.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Makes me thing of that one Boondocks episode, iPhones are great for everything except for making calls.

  86. No, but why go for the guy that doesn't hurt your throat?

    ReplyDelete
  87. Going to Mars dude.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Would it be the end of the world if they taped all of the December TV early and gave the guys a month off to heal and rest and such?

    ReplyDelete
  89. The rumble historically over the past few years has had the second most buys behind wrestlemania, and way more than Summerslam or Survivor series, Its easily thier second biggest show of the year

    ReplyDelete
  90. It was a headline on CNN so I think that ship has sailed.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Eddie Guerrero did

    ReplyDelete
  92. I know. What's your point?

    ReplyDelete
  93. At one point it looked like your title reign might equal his...

    ReplyDelete
  94. I'm 100% positive you revised this statement after the point. Stick to your guns!!

    ReplyDelete
  95. I am CM Punk. *supposed

  96. HE TYPED ALL THIS ON A PHONE??

  97. Brian was a terrible character. Hopefully good riddance.

    ReplyDelete
  98. I can't compete with you physically, and you're no match for my brains.

    ReplyDelete
  99. The Rumble is just about the only PPV besides WM worth paying money for.. IMO

    ReplyDelete
  100. Getting over things and having things effect you aren't mutually exclusive. For example if your father died when you were twelve, you could get over it yes but on some level it will always be there in the back of your mid festering.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Great point, this is exactly it. If they had wrestlers point to a Survivor Series sign for months on end, it would be more important. But they either a)don't care about it anymore or b)don't have writers that can properly utilize the gimmick or c)all of the above, so you get the current state of Survivor Series.

    ReplyDelete
  102. I stopped watching Family Guy forever ago. I preferred The Cleveland Show the last couple of years if I was going to watch either, although I guess I'm in the minority.
    American Dad is usually pretty good, and Bob's Burgers was my only more or less appointment viewing on Sunday nights before I cut the cable. Totally dig Bob's Burgers.

    ReplyDelete
  103. Difference is, South Park has remained pretty consistent the entire time.

    ReplyDelete
  104. Yeah, I would honestly say AJ is the best thing going in WWE aside from Punk and Daniel Bryan. Too bad WWE just sees her as a belt mark.

    ReplyDelete
  105. Without real competition, WWE has no incentive to take risks. The guys on top now will stay there until their bodies completely fail. Then they'll retire the way Edge did.

    ReplyDelete
  106. If they promised me a year of Punk, Bryan, Ziggler, Henry, the Shield and the Wyatts on top, with Orton, Del Rio, Langston and Show mixed in here and there, and absolutely zero Triple H, they'd win me back.


    That's the worst part of it: the talent is RIGHT THERE and they smother it.

  108. "...and we'll see Orton taking on Cena later tonight. But our first match will be the Traditional Royal Rumble Match, with eight men competing for a shot at the Intercontinental title on a future episode of Smackdown!"

    ReplyDelete
  109. You've never heard of Time Warner Cable apparently.

    ReplyDelete
  110. A little off subject but since I'm aware that you're a Dusty Rhodes fan (as I also am), what did you think of Dusty's long overdue appearance on the Steve Austin Show a few days ago?
    Personally, I thought he was brilliant as usual. He made great points about why Cody continues to improve better than most of the young guys on the WWE roster and his story about challenging for a Boston "World" Title in his very first match was hysterical.
    Hopefully he makes another appearance soon because he definitely has no shortage of stories, wisdom and general good advice.

    ReplyDelete
  111. I thought it was certainly entertaining, if not tremendously informative. Dusty just always has so much excess verbiage, when it comes to getting actual knowledge, it's not very efficient.

    ReplyDelete
  112. don't give her anything??? i raise you the amazing GMAJ era.
