Howdy Blog O' Doomers!
Watching this in hindsight the best part is clearly Howard Finkel getting the fuck out of there.
Well tonight is the Ultimate Warrior tribute show. I think most of us are eager to see what they do and I expect they will keep it classy and possibly switch things up a little for the night so we might not get the same type of storyline movement we had last weekend.
When I think about watching Warrior as a kid, I just remember the energy. I still have his theme song on my daily workout playlist. I used to use it for music in spin class. He was like an F5 tornado. He would run to the ring, cause a lot of damage, leave people laying and you were left wondering exactly what you just saw.
So enjoy the show and let's keep it classy tonight as well. Make it funny of course, but keep it classy.

I was wondering does the WWE have the rights to any other PPVs that aren't on the network yet? The own Superclash 3 right?
ReplyDeleteIn honor of Warrior, gay people should not be allowed to participate in the thread
ReplyDeleteGood luck getting that one over.
ReplyDeleteI know they showed at least one of the AWA PPVs on 24/7 because I, erhm, acquired it, and it was the Network version. Pretty sure WBF had a PPV, too, that's not on the network.
ReplyDeleteWho thinks Cena will show up in face paint and streamers?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf5MOvXR3mI
ReplyDeleteGoing by the video, Warrior had some gay motives.
Ultimate Warrior: the template for Goldberg.
ReplyDeleteDumb, self-serving question:
ReplyDeleteWhich of these shows you would watch on WWE Network:
WWE "Burn Rate": A weekly show detailing a given superstar or Diva or Backstage personalitiy's workout and nutrition routine
WWE "Learning Tree": A Jon Gruden's QB Camp meets WWE Universe Show where a WWE Legend sits with an NXT superstar and discusses the art of wrestling, diving into psychology of certain moves and tactics (I.E why use a texas cloverleaf of a Figure Four, etc), and what their general thoughts on other WWE Superstars and NXT competitors are. Likely hosted by Rowdy Roddy Piper.
WWE "Quick Picks": A WWE Superstar is asked to pick five matches he likes centered around a given theme, then those matches play, creating a nice little hour long dose of wrestling across promotions, eras, and generations.
WWE "Lunchbreak": A low-key interview show that gets into the nitty girtty of a wrestler's given thoughts, current feuds, and mental state - shot over that wrestler's 'lunch break'. Thinking Shaky cam, a 'first person' interview style, and a very 'fly on the wall' kind of vibe.
With just a hint of crazy.
ReplyDeleteGood thing I'm not happy tonight.
ReplyDeleteI promise to keep this exactly as classy as he did with his verbal treatment of every single LGBT wrestling fan. Human being. Whatever.
ReplyDeleteBetween the ropes, he was pretty good. Between the ears, he was a pile of garbage.
There were two of those, but I doubt they will go up.
ReplyDeleteNone of the above.
ReplyDeleteNone of the above.
ReplyDeleteA tournament for the IC Title (or the #1 contender), sweet, I like tournaments.
ReplyDeleteLearning Tree would at least be interesting for an episode or two.
ReplyDeleteI'd go for Lunchbreak, of course that first one sounds like it's Caliber approved.
ReplyDeleteReally? Cool.
ReplyDeleteYeah I'm just trying think of stuff that 1) hasn't been done before and 2) won't get me laughed out of the office.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it showed up as a notification on my iPad.
ReplyDeleteAnyone miss Damian Demento's rant videos?
ReplyDeleteI mentioned this before in another thread, but I literally watch this video every day before going to the gym. It's fantastic. I will probably be watching it until the day I die at 102 saving kids from that exploding bus.
ReplyDeleteI'd watch the first two... the third might be interesting if it was out of character. Actually, they'd all be better out of character.
ReplyDeleteHow ironic is it that the most memorable thing about The Ultimate Warrior is something that Warrior himself had absolutely nothing to do with?
ReplyDeleteI think we need a Hurricane Helms cameo. There is no Hurricane Helms without Ultimate Warrior.
ReplyDeleteYea, but he died and gave a nice HOF speech so we have to pretend he was a great guy for at least 4 weeks
ReplyDeleteI don't think that's a fair assessment.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a reasonable amount.
ReplyDeleteWell the idea is that they're 'in character' but not 'show time' character. Like John Cena at a Make a Wish Foundation thing versus John Cena cutting a promo.
ReplyDeleteWhat a horrible thing to say.
ReplyDeleteHe wasn't that good in the ring.
Not enough shit
ReplyDeleteI just really, really feel sorry for his wife and daughter. At the HOF they seemed so proud of their dad and so happy.
ReplyDeleteNot enough shit.
ReplyDeletePiper wearing a WWE All-Stars t-shirt makes Legends House look extremely dated.
ReplyDeleteWhat's more memorable than his music?
ReplyDeleteThat's what happens when you film something 2 years prior.
ReplyDeleteOK, what is going on here? We had one token women here, ONE. Now I've seen at least two more pop up here or there. This place just doesn't feel the same.
ReplyDeletehuh?
ReplyDeleteThe direction of the blog is changing.
ReplyDeleteIf HHH and Steph are producing tonight's Raw, then I have to give them props. A tournament to determine the #1 contender to the IC title = multiple levels of awesome. Give the title some much-needed cache, while making matches "mean" something.
ReplyDeleteCooler approved.
You there! Suck in that gut!
ReplyDeleteHe wants you to come up with more.
ReplyDeleteOnly if he can find some tie-dye jean shorts to match.
ReplyDeleteShit. I have like a week to get these in.
ReplyDeleteHe was the reason I started watching wrestling in 1990. He was my favorite back then, and I feel he still doesn't quite get the credit he deserved.
ReplyDeleteDidn't Jimmy Hart write his music?
ReplyDeleteI think there's something with Jim Johnson on the old Warrior DVD about it. He makes it seem trivial, "I mean, it's only something like... three chords."
ReplyDeleteAnd stick out my penis?
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to be able to watch but have they specified what type of tribute show it'll be? Will they continue on with regular storylines or will it be like Owens?
ReplyDeleteHuh, we a few tape delay fans here tonight?
ReplyDeleteSounds like an IC tournament.
ReplyDeleteWait...before we just had to keep it clean. Now we have to be [i]classy[/i] too!?
ReplyDeleteThe WWE.com preview has all sorts of points of interest that have nothing to do with the Warrior so I'm assuming there will be storyline development with Warrior tribute type things sprinkled in there.
ReplyDeleteDamn. That actually sounds cool.
ReplyDeleteTournament for #1 contender to the IC Title should fill up a good amount of RAW. That's a good idea. Btw, just cancel your silly July plans!
ReplyDeleteCan dirty be classy? If so, the possibilities...
ReplyDeleteTJ: Friends I have just obtained the WWE network and my first thought is..........wow. Bye bye society.
ReplyDeleteNo.
ReplyDeleteYou'll see it again in 6 months.
ReplyDeleteIt wears off quickly tbh.
ReplyDeleteYup. I literally was embarrassed by how much wrestling I watched for about 2 weeks.
ReplyDeleteIt does. If they didn't include ppvs I'm not 100% I'd be a subscriber more then a year
ReplyDeleteThis Al Snow / Bob Holly match on the network right now has me thinking about how WWE rarely does any kind of angles outside of the arena anymore.
ReplyDeleteIf it helps you any, ... I was doing the "talking about wrestling on the internet" thing a long time ago, too. *shrug*
ReplyDeleteGreatest cheap heel moment: play warriors music amd come out to the ring dressed like the Warrior. Picture Brock doing this
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'd pay 10 bucks a month for the PPVs anytime. The library is awesome but I find I'm watching less and less old stuff as time goes on. The stuff like Countdown is an okay way to waste an hour too. We'll see how much new content they produce and if it's worth watching.
ReplyDeleteBut what's more memorable than his music?
ReplyDeleteJon Voight just talking about Deliverance makes my butthole tighten up.
ReplyDeleteI was gonna go see the parents up north for a long weekend. Battleground > family stuff so well see. I'll definitely know like by the end of next week if I'm going or not
ReplyDeleteOh c'mon, your parents don't want to see you, they don't even like you. I'm sorry I have to tell you this. It's a PPV with Bryan probably in the main event.
ReplyDeleteI forgot that tonight was a Warrior tribute. Perhaps we can have storyline developments (after last week's hot show) wrapped around some Warrior love? We can have both, right?
ReplyDeleteDirecTV joined Dish in dropping WWE PPV's. This isn't good for WWE.
ReplyDeleteLol. I know. It is gonna be tough to pass up a Bryan headlined ppv. I haven't been to a live wrestling show either since the Rock/Punk Tampa raw in 2013
ReplyDeleteIt's obviously going to be a show with Darren Young working 6 matches with Chuck and Billy vignettes filtered in
ReplyDeleteIt's not like it was unexpected though. If anything, this should drive more people to order the Network on account of not being able to get the SPECIALS any other way.
ReplyDeleteApropos of absolutely nothing, I want to be in a barbershop quartet.

Also to live in a giant floating metropolis.
A great use of his $100,000 per show appearance fee!
ReplyDeleteShut yo' mouf, foo'
ReplyDeleteRic Flair, is that you?
ReplyDeleteBut the question is, are they dropping special events too?
ReplyDeleteThey got WWE confused with AMC!
ReplyDeleteUgh, dropped my backpack on my way to work and when I just checked my iPad, the screen is cracked to all hell. Any way of fixing the screen without just getting a new fucking tablet?
ReplyDeleteWell, they did have Randy Orton escape from John Cena by carjacking a random van a few months ago.
ReplyDeleteYouTube might have some tutorials. You'll probably have to get a new screen though.
ReplyDeleteSmall price to pay to see Brock in face paint and arm tassels as him and Heyman troll the crowd
ReplyDeleteThe more WWE panics, the better content we get. It's a win for the fans.
ReplyDeleteI figured that much. Any idea how much that will set me back?
ReplyDeleteAll expected. The whole point of this is taking everything off TV and on the Network anyway.
ReplyDeleteI did that to a tablet a few months ago. They have ghetto phone/tablet stores down here that replaces screens and shit on phones down here. I got a new screen for 110 bucks
ReplyDeleteHmmm, looks like Big E v. Titus on Superstars. Might have to check that out.
ReplyDeleteBut poor Finkel doesn't get out of the way: Warrior bounces off the ropes and causes Howard to drop down much quicker than planned (I assume).
ReplyDeleteFigure a 20 percent markup for living in NYC? 50 percent?
ReplyDeleteApple will fix stuff if it's still under warranty.
ReplyDelete1000%
ReplyDeleteNo it doesn't help! This place is a sanctuary! Women are supposed to be so disgusted by this place they won't go near it (save for one). This will upset the entire ecosystem of this place.have you thought about that, how this will affect the blog? Mass hysteria will soon be here.you and your shrugs! Have you seen anybody shrug around here? No, but you just come in here and start throwing around shrugs like it means nothing! I...I just don't know anymore.
ReplyDeleteIt's almost two years old now. That warranty is all gone now.
ReplyDeleteYes! Tournaments are the tits.
ReplyDeleteBecause the Bearer segment went over so well with Punk last year.
ReplyDeleteIt would be good for someone like Miz... but you don't want to goof up Brock right now.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't hurt to stop by and talk to the Genius Bar. They can at least give you an estimate.
ReplyDeleteTournament tonight. Tournaments are awesome.
ReplyDeleteMargret Dumot: You shall sit on my left hand and you shall sit on my right hand.
ReplyDeleteGroucho: How will you eat? Through a tube?
Ha!
Def prob more. It was a place called "ihospital" if it helps. I think it's just a Florida thing but I'd guess they must have stores like that everywhere
ReplyDeleteTournaments are even better than last night's Game of Thrones.
ReplyDelete"Here is the challenger...weighing 2..."
ReplyDeleteClassic Fink.
It was awesome
ReplyDeleteSsshhh. Haven't seen it. I'm on S3Ep6.
ReplyDeleteThey definitely have places like that here. Just have to pick one, really.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh. My bad. Mum's the word.
ReplyDeleteI'm shocked.
ReplyDeleteHeh, that's the last rasslin show I was at. Had to miss the last PPV that was here a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteI forget which thread it is... but don't scroll through the comments on any topic started today.
ReplyDeleteRandom thought: if warrior and Hogan did the same acts today, who would be more over? Hogan was such a dork looking back on it
ReplyDeleteCheck their site for specifics, even if out of warranty, they do some sort of refurbish swap at their store. Not free, but less than a new one would be
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y593G0FXDXg
ReplyDeleteWaylon - Bray mashup
I know the season is a year old, but I don't know anyone else who watches it, and I haven't read anything online. I have carried this on for at least 6 months.
ReplyDeleteThat's the one where Punk doused Taker with Nesquik powder after giving him an urn-shot, right?
ReplyDeleteMy wife and I just got into Game of Thrones a couple months ago. It was pretty much impossible to not keep watching the next episode. We watched all three seasons pretty fast.
ReplyDeleteI mean, this tournament is basically deciding the new IC champion. No way they pull out all the stops of a tournament just to have the guy lose. So I'm guessing Big E's days are numbered.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with that.
ReplyDeleteHogan would be told he needs to work on his abs. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteHey what's the name of the black guy they have doing a lot of the Interview stuff on WWE Network now? he may be a NXT personality? I forgot his name.
ReplyDeleteSo this is what it's like when some random woman walks into a comic book store.
ReplyDeleteThe argument is invalid as both Warrior and Hogan represented different parts of 80's culture.
ReplyDeleteByron Saxton?
ReplyDeleteByron Saxon?
ReplyDeleteByron Saxton?
ReplyDeleteIt's Bryon Saxton. Thanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteBefore NXT, he use to be a commentator in the dying days of the ECW show.
ReplyDeleteThat was pretty good.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't Warrior just be Ryback with facepaint?
ReplyDeleteZiggler v. Barrett tonight! I'm so pleased.
ReplyDeleteQuick, Vegas odds on that match up!
ReplyDeletedidn't slaughter pay a significant part in the self-destruction DVD?
ReplyDeleteThis girl I'm seeing watches it and got me into it like 2 weeks ago. It is REALLY hard to not binge on them...they hook you immediately. Haven't been this into a season since Homeland 1
ReplyDelete"Ziggler, I'm afraid I've got some bad news. You are gonna get another concussion."
ReplyDeleteRaw is in Birmingham. I pre-apologize for the shitty crowd.
ReplyDeleteHello everyone!
ReplyDeleteHello.
ReplyDeleteGood. He sucks as IC Champ.
ReplyDeleteNo prob.
ReplyDeleteStill haven't hanged myself
ReplyDeleteI'm ashamed I know that.
ReplyDeleteI was worried.
ReplyDeleteWhat am I supposed to do with the memorial library sign I had made in your name?
ReplyDeleteMe too
ReplyDeleteI can't see Hogan possibly being over nearly to the degree he was. Big muscular guys aren't a novelty anymore. Also, while he has charisma, we've seen better.
ReplyDeleteWarrior's gimmick is so out there and unique I could see it working.
::C team Handshake::
ReplyDeleteJust got back from college.
:C team Handshake:
ReplyDeleteHow was it?
Hung. Still haven't hung yourself. #grammarslam
ReplyDelete::Real rock'n Roll salute::
ReplyDeleteWe all know it had to end sometime.
ReplyDeleteThe IC tourney bracket looks like it should have some solid midcard matches tonight.
ReplyDeleteThe tiny woman on NCIS frightens me more every week at 7:58 than Bray Wyatt ever could
ReplyDeleteHow many guys in the first round?
ReplyDeleteHang in there, little trooper *pat on the back*
ReplyDeleteAnother good day,ancient history and methodology of History,I was reading on the bus Keith Jenkins's Rethinking History.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, the Edna Mode look a like.
ReplyDelete10 bell?
ReplyDeleteI would suggest toilet paper
ReplyDeleteShe's Gaia from the God of War series.
ReplyDeleteThe one who looks like that lady from The Incredibles?
ReplyDeleteVince has to be part vampire. Another one gone and he looks 10 years younger than last time he was on tv
ReplyDeleteI just got a bunch of shoot interviews in the mail today. Pretty happy about that
ReplyDeleteThank her for not letting Mr.Incredible wear a cape.
ReplyDelete9 years since Eddie died, and we get this format again.
ReplyDeleteIts not football so they dont care.
ReplyDeleteTime to apply the People Power poll.
ReplyDeleteHe feeds off of the young.
ReplyDeleteThis is almost as good as the Mae Young video.
ReplyDeleteI will put out a poll of all WWF jobbers to spite everyone
ReplyDelete#evilgm
While Shane McMahon is a pretty solid, 50/50 mix of Vince and Linda, Stephanie basically looks like an attractive female Vince
ReplyDeleteBloody hell
ReplyDeleteStill don't know anything

Well, that fit in the video perfectly.
