    I should have known better than to draft Matt Garza for my fantasy team.

  2. Everyone check out this site. http://www.profightdb.com/ It is amazing. I'm just going to post random shit from there that I find interesting.

    Tigers-Red Sox here tonight. Tigers are a beast. Sox need to get on a roll. They haven't won more than two straight yet this season.

    ReplyDelete
  5. This day in history in 1995, Jacob and Eli Blu beat Savio Vega and Razor Ramon in a tag match taped for Action Zone.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Arn Anderson's longest singles match was against Ric Flair at Fall Brawl 95. 22 minutes 37 seconds.

    ReplyDelete
  7. No one on the Braves can get a hit except Freddie Freeman. I think that ball to the face has ruined Heyward for good. Let's not talk about the Upton brothers.

    But BJ got new glasses! Why doesn't it help?


    Seriously, though, is there a guy who has NEVER been able to live up to the hypre moreson than BJ Upton?

    ReplyDelete
  9. It's just so disappointing. Sometimes it appears that he's not even trying which is different from Uggla. Upton doesn't care while Uggla is just awful.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Anybody up for a PPV watch in a bit?

    ReplyDelete
  11. I'm up for one.

    ReplyDelete
  12. What era and company would you like to watch? I'm honestly up for anything at all.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Always down, as long as it's something that won't put me to sleep.

    ReplyDelete
  14. This Bellator show is going to do TNA numbers. And not even GOOD TNA numbers I'm talking about 2013 TNA numbers.

    ReplyDelete
  15. That show wouldn't draw even if UFC promoted it.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Should we check out Unforgiven 08?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Been watching WWF Breakdown 98 on the network. I totally forgot about this triple threat cage match. This is fucking awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  18. One of the only triple threat cage matches ever.

    ReplyDelete
  19. What show hasn't put you to sleep?

    ReplyDelete
  20. The finish is awesome too. Made Foley look like a bad ass dare devil and the Rock look really smart.

    ReplyDelete
  21. The other being Cena Miz Morrison at Extreme Rules 11

    ReplyDelete
  22. Stranger in the AlpsMay 17, 2014 at 5:56 PM

    Upton was a guy who was touted as a 5-tool player coming up in the TB system, but once he got to the big leagues, who coasted on his potential and didn't try to better himself.

    ReplyDelete
  23. None of the Board Watches have put me to sleep, yet...so I don't know.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Should we give Souled Out 97 a go?

    ReplyDelete
  25. Who's watching the ROH show? Toss us some summaries as it goes along please.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I thought about ordering it, but I spent $2 on Bioshock today so I don't want to spend money twice. I'll post up PWTorch reports though as the matches end.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Not me tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Unforgiven 08 vs. Souled Out 97


    I vote Souled Out, just because I've seen Unforgiven a couple times.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I'm in for Souled Out, heard it's pretty good in a bad way.

    ReplyDelete
  30. "The Mexican jumping bean, Eddy Guerrero."

    ReplyDelete
  31. Unforgiven is the Scramble matches, right? I just watched that one recently, so Souled Out would be my vote.

    ReplyDelete
  32. It's pretty bad in a train wreck way.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Souled Out 1997 watch starts at 8:15 PM EST!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Oh sounds good.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Yeah, I have Unforgiven on DVD anyway.

    ReplyDelete
  36. That was a big star turning match for all three guys. Shamrock came out of it a super heel but that's one they fucked up.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I've never sat and watched the whole show.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I've never seen the show period.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Or you know, toss along a link

    ReplyDelete
  40. You'll love the ring announcer.

    ReplyDelete
  41. The ring announcer is the nWo voice guy.

    ReplyDelete
  42. In other news today, Meekin had one good thread today as opposed to the 100 crappy ones.

    ReplyDelete
  43. It was a thread that didn't go to shits.......

    ReplyDelete
  44. Literally, just got me hungry.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Same. Stomach growling currently.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Meekin is to the blog as WWE is to most of its fans.

    They both do whatever and interpret the hatred as success. Cause having your shit hijacked is better than playing to crickets, so the thinking goes.

    ReplyDelete
  47. "CM PUNK! CM PUNK"....

    ReplyDelete
  48. I have to argue with that statement from WWE, since the town was clearly a heavy mark for Cena.

    ReplyDelete
  49. EC Dub! EC Dub!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Found a stream of ROH but its pretty unwatchable. Just gonna wait until tomorrow I guess.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I decided to order the ROH show. The arena looks good but they've miked the ring WAY too loud.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I'm gonna jump the gun a minute early.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I think the manifestation in all of that showed up yesterday when he lost 300 million. The same would happen to Meekin if he broke away from the BoD. You can't build something by actively trolling the core audience.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I discovered this a few months ago, it's awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Hey just wanted to let everyone know that 1) Star Trek Online is free, and 2) It's really good! Disregard the old reviews the game's been updated like 15 times. It takes place post-Nemesis, so that's cool.

    Also Cart Life is free as well and is kind of the best written game ever and kinda cute and silly and dour and wholesome. I'd check it out!

    ReplyDelete
  56. This is already weird.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Yeah, that may be the strangest PPV open I've ever seen.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Also, he's not Asian.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I think Andy Kaufman would like a word with you.

    ReplyDelete
  60. This is when the group had a 100 guys right?

    ReplyDelete
  61. I think they were in the 20s at this point. It got worse as 97 went on.

    ReplyDelete
  62. 4 minutes in and already this is too much.

    ReplyDelete
  63. I dunno, I think the subject matter of the last few QOTDs have been fine - in order:

    Food, Feuds, Pro Wrestler Impressions, Mother's Day, Cars, Props (in wrestling matches), Wrestling Physics, Being Wrong about stuff (including wrestling), Insane Moments in sports (and wrestling), Poop Thread ( WHERE NO ONE MENTIONED DX AND VINCE!), and Comic books,

    Also I take Meekin far less seriously than everyone else.

    ReplyDelete
  64. So that's what you are going for? Okay, you found one guy that became successful by trolling, thus proving that trolling is a successful venture. I truly wish you luck with that.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Kerry Von Erich has the 9th highest win% in pro wrestling history. Followed by Raymond Rougeau at 10th and Michael Hayes at 11th.




    wat.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Set is reminiscent of Starrcade 89

    ReplyDelete
  67. Also I take Meekin far less seriously than everyone else.


    Which means you either misread or don't care about the audience you are catering to. I'm not saying you have to pander but you can't completely disregard the interest of people here and expect to not get your stuff hijacked. If that's the case then you may be posting on the wrong site.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Feels like a Disney show.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Top 3 in win% in TNA history: 1. Monty Brown 2. Ethan Carter 3. Amazing Kong

    ReplyDelete
  70. Are you Italian now?

    ReplyDelete
  71. Jay Lethal & Kushida are not on the same page. A lot of awkward standing around waiting for the other guy to get into position.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Is this a quiz?

    ReplyDelete
  73. You know, Chono-Jericho sounds pretty good on paper...

    ReplyDelete
  74. No, I'm just randomly throwing out facts that I think are interesting. Is there a fucking quiz on Souled Out?

    ReplyDelete
  75. This is from back when Jericho could only work well with other juniors. Also, it's the United States so Chono doesn't give a fuck.

    ReplyDelete
  76. I don't think so.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Chono vs a lot of people sound good on paper.

    ReplyDelete
  78. The same one!

    All night!

    ReplyDelete
  79. Lethal beats kushida, some good spots, but disjointed and with too many pointless flips and handsprings off the ropes. **3/4

    ReplyDelete
  80. An invasion already.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Hate it when international stars job.

    ReplyDelete
  82. NJPW is 0-3 so far tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Kushida is a good worker, but he's not the guy drawing the house. If Nakamura or Tanahashi job I'll be surprised

    ReplyDelete
  84. Briscoes vs. Gallows & Anderson up next.

    ReplyDelete
  85. I hear Eric, but I picture Coachman.

    ReplyDelete
  86. And the crowd goes mild.

    ReplyDelete
  87. I got Briscoes.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Obviously the Bullet Club wins.

    ReplyDelete
  89. I think so too.

    ReplyDelete
  90. I always though a cool gimmick for the Souled Out PPV would have been if any member of the nWo loses, they get kicked out. An easy way to clear the dead weight. Then Syxx, Hall, and Nash lose and form the Wolfpac.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Crowd chants USA for two foreign guys. Only in wrestling.

    ReplyDelete
  92. USA chants in Yoko vs. Bret meant they were cheering for Yoko!

    ReplyDelete
  93. Bret has dual citizenship.

    ReplyDelete
  94. I always looked at those chants as for the babyface, so chanting USA for Duggan or whoever vs another American works because Duggan gets off on it....so to speak.

    ReplyDelete
  95. He gets wood, that's for sure.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Worked with the Nexus.

    ReplyDelete
  97. ROH PPV or boxing match?

    ReplyDelete
  98. He has his whole life. Helen Hart was American.

    ReplyDelete
  99. Chono is like a sack of potatoes.

    ReplyDelete
  100. That was an odd camera angle earlier.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Apparently they are running a major angle at tonight's ROH show. Any guesses? I'll go with Cole joining Bullet Club. Or CM Punk showing up(kidding. kinda)

    ReplyDelete
  102. Man, Son of Batman kinda sucked. And why the fuck would you let go of Bruce fucking Timm?

    ReplyDelete
  103. Melina vs. Alicia Fox

    ReplyDelete
  104. The main event in any state.

    ReplyDelete
  105. Frankly, it needed Damian Wayne killing Dick Grayson in an alternate universe and then having a shitty battle with some randomly added hype against Batman, which is just used as a battle to get Batman over for a clash with Other Universe Batman instead of the logical blowoff with Superman.


    Why yes, I don't like the way Injustice was booked, why do you ask?

    ReplyDelete
  106. Rick fucking Steiner has the highest win percentage in WWF history(over 25 matches).

    ReplyDelete
  107. Scott gave it **, I think it was about in that range. **1/4 to **1/2.

    ReplyDelete
  108. What site are you pulling these from?

    ReplyDelete
  109. http://www.profightdb.com/

    ReplyDelete
  110. What ppv are you watching?

    ReplyDelete
  111. Tom fucking Zenk is 2nd.

    ReplyDelete
  112. But only two confirmed kills.

    ReplyDelete
  113. Oh I just watched that recently.

    ReplyDelete
  114. Also, why the fuck did Aquaman job to Black Adam after going over Shazam, Flash, his mirror universe self, and Ares clean?

    ReplyDelete
  115. We're 24 minutes in.

    ReplyDelete
  116. Watching flashpoint paradox now. Heard good things.

    ReplyDelete
  117. Who's this guy?

    ReplyDelete
  118. Rick Steiner
    Tom Zenk
    Ultimate Warrior
    Ludvig Borga
    Texas Tornada
    Typhoon
    Lex Luger
    Bad News Brown
    Argentina Apollo(???)
    Jerry Saggs


    Top 10 win% in the WWF.


    All the lulz.

    ReplyDelete
  119. Not even Cena?!

    ReplyDelete
  120. Kevin Conroy should be contractually obligated to voice Batman until he dies.

    ReplyDelete
  121. Cena is way down the list at 66%.

    ReplyDelete
  122. Demott v. Big Bubba doesn't sound as intriguing as the opener, that's for sure.

    ReplyDelete
  123. That little kid, he looks like STING!

    ReplyDelete
  124. For any metal heads in the house here is the exclusive interview Tim Lambesis did that was released right after his sentencing. http://www.altpress.com/features/entry/tim_lambesis_world_exclusive_interview_as_i_lay_dying_singer_breaks_silence


    Even for non metal guys the interview is fascinating as hell and delves into music, gym culture, divorce, religion (or lack thereof) jail, touring, murder for hire, and other fascinating stuff. It is also notable for being the most open I have ever heard anyone talk about steroids.

    ReplyDelete
  125. I've always liked DeMott, I have no clue why. He's not so bad for a bigger guy.

    ReplyDelete
  126. It's worth it for one of the all time great finishes. I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it.

    ReplyDelete
  127. Seems like a good trainer.

    ReplyDelete
  128. I was wrong, Bullet Club retain. Match was about ***, but I missed the finish because I was drafting a post about how the announcers were annoying. Anyway, Steen-Nakamura next, that needs my full attention

    ReplyDelete
  129. That is surprising.

    ReplyDelete
  130. A lot of developmental would agree he's a Hugh Jerk.

    ReplyDelete
  131. Big Bubba looks like a mini Bossman.

    ReplyDelete
  132. Watching the original Star Wars trilogy on blu ray.

    I really don't care anymore about the changes in the films.

    It's still gives me the same feeling the unaltered versions do.

    ReplyDelete
  133. Except the NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO added in Jedi. Fuck that bullshit.

    ReplyDelete
  134. Lucas wins!
    Lol.

    ReplyDelete
  135. His best film was still American Graffiti.

    ReplyDelete
  136. Punk vs Hero is the 3rd longest match of all time.

    ReplyDelete
  137. I'd believe it.

    ReplyDelete
  138. Can't wait for the Arkham movie.

    ReplyDelete
  139. I'm calling bullshit on that one, unless we're talking post-1980.

    ReplyDelete
  140. Jef Vinson (Homewreckers Inc™)May 17, 2014 at 6:47 PM

    ...Good evening, gents. What are we watching?

    ReplyDelete
  141. Until my feed froze, we are watching Souled Out 97.

    ReplyDelete
  142. Bruno and Monsoon had a 70 minute draw in 1964 called because of....curfew.

    ReplyDelete
  143. Stranger in the AlpsMay 17, 2014 at 6:48 PM

    Any stats about matches that have FELT like the longest of all time?

    ReplyDelete
  144. Uh, Strangler Lewis/Karl Gotch/Joe Stecher had like 2-4 hour long bouts with regularity. Again, if its post-1980, yeah, I buy that, or if we're counting matches we can confirm were a work, but the carny era of wrestling had a bunch of marathons.

    ReplyDelete
  145. Ugh. Sounds dreadful.

    ReplyDelete
  146. Jef Vinson (Homewreckers Inc™)May 17, 2014 at 6:49 PM

    Didn't Arn win that one?


    If I'm not mistaken, Arn beat Flair and Hogan.

    ReplyDelete
  147. Danny Duffy is perfect through 6 innings, for those of you who care about that stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  148. That was like WTF?

    ReplyDelete
  149. What finish is this?!

    ReplyDelete
  150. Sheesh, that finish was definitely different.

    ReplyDelete
  151. He can't be a perfect game guy with a name like that. Thats NXT name generator shit for a mini-Sheamus.

    ReplyDelete
  152. Jef Vinson (Homewreckers Inc™)May 17, 2014 at 6:51 PM

    Jay Lethal can die slow in a grease fire.

    ReplyDelete
  153. Stranger in the AlpsMay 17, 2014 at 6:51 PM

    Damn, this Sox team can't hit worth a shit this season. They've been playing flat all year, almost as if they haven't recovered from the World Series hangover.

    ReplyDelete
  154. I just noticed the 50 little screens in the background.

    ReplyDelete
  155. This won't shock you but the highest average number of stars 1-16 are all Japanese. The first American is Davey Richards in 17th place.

    ReplyDelete
  156. Jef Vinson (Homewreckers Inc™)May 17, 2014 at 6:52 PM

    MVP worships the ground the guy walks on.

    ReplyDelete
  157. This is like the Room of wrestling PPV's right?

    ReplyDelete
  158. Have you really never heard of that site before?

    ReplyDelete
  159. Haha. Wasn't lying was I?

    ReplyDelete
  160. Jef Vinson (Homewreckers Inc™)May 17, 2014 at 6:53 PM

    I feel the same about Mark Hamill and the Joker.

    ReplyDelete
  161. I'm assuming they use Meltzer ratings, right?

    ReplyDelete
  162. How do you like it so far?

    ReplyDelete
  163. Stranger in the AlpsMay 17, 2014 at 6:54 PM

    Wait, what scene was that again?

    ReplyDelete
  164. When Vader saves Luke.

    ReplyDelete
  165. http://www.profightdb.com/wrestlers-with-highest-pwi-monthly-ranking-score.html

    Jeff jarrett's rank surprises me.

    ReplyDelete
  166. its cool but could be a lot better.

    ReplyDelete
  167. Stranger in the AlpsMay 17, 2014 at 6:55 PM

    I hadn't seen it in a while and forgotten. I saw it in the theatre in 1983 and marked out like shit.

    ReplyDelete
  168. Glad to see no one broke Jarrett's 6 Intercontinental title reigns.

    ReplyDelete
  169. Lucas is pretty liberal with the Anakin/Vader Noooooo's.

    ReplyDelete
  170. Jericho has 9.

    ReplyDelete
  171. Stranger in the AlpsMay 17, 2014 at 6:58 PM

    Let me just say that I am so tired of teams and their overdramatic shifting of the defense. The Tigers have burned the Sox twice tonight with hits that get through where the third basemen would normally be playing.


    I hate these damn shifts.

    ReplyDelete
  172. I know Cult....

    ReplyDelete
  173. Jef Vinson (Homewreckers Inc™)May 17, 2014 at 6:59 PM

  174. John Cena has main evented the most PPVs of all time at 95.

    ReplyDelete
  175. *golf clap*

    ReplyDelete
  176. Stranger in the AlpsMay 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM

    Any hitter worth their pay can place a hit where there's no one playing.

    ReplyDelete
  177. Makes no sense unless it's against Ortiz. I don't think I've ever seen him go the other way.

    ReplyDelete
  178. Pitchers pitch to make sure they hit into shifts.

    ReplyDelete
  179. Looks good, just saved it for when I win it one day.

    ReplyDelete
  180. Has Mike Rutundo ever had a singles match reach ***? He's just boring as a single to me.

    ReplyDelete
  181. Not really suprised.

    ReplyDelete
  182. Stranger in the AlpsMay 17, 2014 at 7:01 PM

    Well, someone didn't get that memo tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  183. Jef Vinson (Homewreckers Inc™)May 17, 2014 at 7:02 PM

    One against Sting and One against Rick Steiner.

    ReplyDelete
  184. But then you can predict that pitch is coming and use the Guess Pitch feature to increase your Contact and Power ratings!
