    SON OF A BITCH! Have you downloaded the Messenger app recently?

    On the site, are you getting to the sign in screen?

    ReplyDelete
  9. Must be my ISP DNS routing as I used my VPN to remote access my office PC and was able to get on there.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Watching the Shield Doc. I know it would probably further the Batista parallels, but I don't see why WWE doesn't make a good ol' fashioned powerbomb Reigns' finisher. The Spear has become such a cliche.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Isn't Reigns like 240 though?

    ReplyDelete
  12. Stranger in the AlpsAugust 21, 2014 at 6:05 PM

    I was just looking it up and all I could find for a solution was the old "clear your cache" BS.

  13. Renee Young does the Ice Bucket Challenge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=rxxnLtg_c3Y

    ReplyDelete
  14. I'm here to show the world!

    ReplyDelete
  15. I wish they gave him the IC title and let him run over a year with it, take your time WWE. About his finisher, The Spear is nice but he should add a 2nd finisher, I say the Torture rack.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Titty Master is happy with this.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Magoonie NOT Teddy BelmontAugust 21, 2014 at 6:07 PM

    Er happened to Sarek the Preparer? Did he kill himself after being so distraught over Lisa's accusations or something?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Watching an April 17 Raw. A Pirate v. A Garbageman!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Watching it now too... Rollins getting into it with Terry Taylor is a pleasant surprise on this doc.

    ReplyDelete
  20. What in the blue hell does any of that mean?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Paul Burchill v Duke Droese: Surely a nacho break match in any arena.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Watching WCW SuperBrawl 1999. Don't really know why.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Did the Police arrested War Machine?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Halfway right.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Ever get the most random song you haven't heard in years stuck in your head? I have "Feel Good Inc." by the Gorillaz on constant repeat in my head and have all day.

    ReplyDelete
  26. You can't just bring in James Earl Jones for pocket change whenever.

    ReplyDelete
  27. You can't arrest something with 1000 Hit Points capable of using NUCLEAR 64 times over 128 and there goes the reference over everyone's head.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Stranger in the AlpsAugust 21, 2014 at 6:09 PM

    I believe federal marshals caught up with him, yes.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I've gotten Taylor Swift songs stuck in my head. Bad times.

    ReplyDelete
  30. YOU ARE THE BEST THING THAT'S EVER BEEN MINE

    ReplyDelete
  31. Stranger in the AlpsAugust 21, 2014 at 6:10 PM

    That song is all right. As far as Gorrillaz go it's that and "Clint Eastwood".

    ReplyDelete
  32. I'm blanking on people who portrayed those gimmicks besides those two. I'ma guess 95 WWF tried a priate gimmick that bombed?

    ReplyDelete
  33. I think it was you belong to me.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Yeah that is really all the ammo they have... they were a very strange group.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Stranger in the AlpsAugust 21, 2014 at 6:11 PM

    Jean-Pierre Lafitte. Or Quebecer Pierre, if you will.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Was De La featured on both of those songs?

    ReplyDelete
  37. Ah well that one is the only one of her songs I know so that's all I had to offer.

    ReplyDelete
  38. We thought you were gone!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Oh shit I forgot about that. Bret Hart praised him and everything!

    ReplyDelete
  40. I must say though I'd like to give her a reason to write a song about me

    ReplyDelete
  41. Stranger in the AlpsAugust 21, 2014 at 6:12 PM

    I believe Del Tha Funky Homosapien rapped on "Eastwood".

    ReplyDelete
  42. Might be by next week, depending on how hard college is this year. I'm almost done, so I'm gonna try to focus more on it.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Reigns' hair is nowhere near as cool.

    ReplyDelete
  44. You're doing what in College?

    ReplyDelete
  45. Who is in the Gorillaz? Sometimes I'd hear they were a collective of a bunch of famous people, other times I'd hear they were just some random Europeans.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I was under the impression they were a collection of random people from other groups.

    ReplyDelete
  47. It's a side project of Blur's lead singer with the guy that created Tank Girl. The singer takes the musical aspect while the Tank Girl guy made the characters.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Stranger in the AlpsAugust 21, 2014 at 6:14 PM

    They were led by Damon Albarn of Blur. I think the creator of the Tank Girl comic is involved also.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Buddy of mine is trying that. Congratulations, good luck.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I am always blown away by what an extensive knowledge you have of pop culture stuff

    ReplyDelete
  51. Stranger in the AlpsAugust 21, 2014 at 6:14 PM

    Damn you, Kid. You're faster than I am at thinking and stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Where at if you don't mind sharing?

    ReplyDelete
  53. Not at all. For someone your age you know a lot about a lot of different things... hell for someone of any age.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Is Scott Hall one of the biggest wastes of potential in wrestling history?

    ReplyDelete
  55. Seeing as his surname isn't spelt Arcidi..........

    ReplyDelete
  56. It's not like his career was a waste.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I'm not saying he didn't do anything good, but with his size and look and natural charisma it seems he could/should have been a super-duper-star, and his prime should've lasted longer than it did.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Thank you, I just saw these stuff from tv or friends that talk to me.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Yeah I thought that was very random... I don't recall anyone having trouble with Terry before.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Plus, he writes in English better than most of my friends.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Not even close. Neither is Jake. Those dudes had huge peaks.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Thank you very much.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Agreed, his English is better than most of the people in my state.

    ReplyDelete
  64. I guess I don't have a better answer. I don't know if Scott Had problems dating back to 94 but he should have been champion heading into the New Gen era over Diesel.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Really? Terry is a well known stooge.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Konnan hates him, goes out of his way to call him a stooge every time his name gets mentioned on his show.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Even with his drug issues I'm honestly stunned WCW didn't give him the belt at any point. You'd think he would've gotten a reign turning on Nash or something.

    ReplyDelete
  68. I am not surprised but no I had never really heard that before.

    ReplyDelete
  69. He already had problems along with Kliq, but in WCW is when this really gets out of control.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Jericho had some issues with him too.

    ReplyDelete
  71. I was just generally surprised at how arrogant Rollins seems to be.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Watching the Simpsons marathon, and I'm tiring of Charles Barkley and Scottie Pippen rapidly.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Which season it's in?

    ReplyDelete
  74. I wonder what would've happened to Pippen in a universe without Jordan.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Would someone ever date Ronda Rousey? It would be a bit emasculating knowing that your girlfriend would whip your ass.

    ReplyDelete
  76. That was going to be my answer also. Dude just had tons of charisma. He is also the first wrestler I remember hearing about dieing

    ReplyDelete
  77. No way. 1. He wasn't reliable. and 2. There were a ton of wrestlers he would have had to jump.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Yes, but WCW. They must've seriously considered it.

    ReplyDelete
  79. "Bart the daredevil" which is season 2 I believe.

    ReplyDelete
  80. In a heartbeat. She is very feminine for such a tough girl and she seems really nice and is a huge geek and of course... DAT ASS

    ReplyDelete
  81. If he is brought up on a shoot, most of the time he gets buried. Only reason he is around is because he is a Triple H guy.

    ReplyDelete
  82. HHH would, he has the track record.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Stranger in the AlpsAugust 21, 2014 at 6:24 PM

    I'm sure a Von Erich might be one of them. Maybe even Magnum TA.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Yeah, Stephanie McMahon is a brute. Oh, and China too.

    ReplyDelete
  85. 93-98 is a longer prime than most guys.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Cape Fear is in the third, right?

    ReplyDelete
  87. She's hot. I just wouldn't wanna get into an argument with her about anything.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Of course I would date, she's tough chick while being this cute little girl. I accept Gina Carano as a bonus too.

    ReplyDelete
  89. a quick google search tells me 5th.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Well it was semi-kayfabe, so a little bit may have been him staying in-character.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Did you know that "Who shot Mr.Burns?" is the only 2-part Simpsons episode?

    ReplyDelete
  92. Not for a second. Bischoff hated him.

    ReplyDelete
  93. I'd take Gina first.

    ReplyDelete
  94. I don't remember him being any good after the initial invasion, he was in tag matches and probably for good reason. He slid fast.

    ReplyDelete
  95. I'll take both, because I'm hardcore.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Didn't know that but it's not surprising since they hit they reset button every single week.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Meh I bet she'd back down if you got tough with her, I haven't met a woman yet that doesn't.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Are you sure on that? I seriously thought they did a 2 parter for Sideshow Bob.

    ReplyDelete
  99. Probably suffers the fate of the rest like Ewing, Stockton, Malone, Miller etc who didn't get a title because of MJ.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Cape Feare was only one episode. But I may be wrong.

    ReplyDelete
  101. martial arts doesn't really work in a street fight setting.

    ReplyDelete
  102. I always felt Prince Nana was underrated. The guy was a heat machine.

    ReplyDelete
  103. Was his prime even that long, though? I remember we had a Lighting Round on Scott Hall's best singles match as "Scott Hall" (i.e. his WCW career) and nobody could really think of an above-average match.

    ReplyDelete
  104. Crazy how good of a worker Waltman was for how young he was as the Kid.

    ReplyDelete
  105. One episode.

    ReplyDelete
  106. I have this feeling with Truth Martini.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Huh, never knew that, glad I own a special 2 parter then.

    ReplyDelete
  108. He still shows some flashes of greatness from time to time. His match with El Generico( Zayn) is great.

    ReplyDelete
  109. Great call.

    ReplyDelete
  110. MMA doesn't, real martial arts do.

    ReplyDelete
  111. He was great with Taven.

    ReplyDelete
  112. Then he made the right friends and realized he didn't have to work so hard. I ain't mad at him though.

    ReplyDelete
  113. I'd say he was done by the end of 96.

    ReplyDelete
  114. Playing No Mercy, I just found out I can do the championship mode as the champ.

    ReplyDelete
  115. Agreed. I don't care if he uses the powerbomb, but I'm sick of the spear.

    ReplyDelete
  116. As a worker maybe not but he was still one of the 5-10 most over dudes in wrestling.

    In one of his "columns" Mark Madden mentioned two cruisers talking about their match they had backstage and Hall said something to the effect of "Hey yo, nice match. I'm about to get a bigger pop with a headlock."

    ReplyDelete
  117. I enjoyed when she was on American Gladiators and she was absolutely unstoppable on every challenge

    ReplyDelete
  118. Yes, because he was still a relevant guy in 98. And WCW main eventers weren't exactly known for their match quality.

    ReplyDelete
  119. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEANT!!!!111!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  120. While we're add it... give Ambrose the stunner.

    ReplyDelete
  121. In WCW he was always Nash's Second Fiddle, he had no identity whatsoever.

    ReplyDelete
  122. Yeah, he was found earlier in the week.

    ReplyDelete
  123. The current Superman used to date her, then he switched to Penny from TBBT, idiot.

    ReplyDelete
  124. I mean, if that were me, I would have done the same thing,

    ReplyDelete
  125. I forgive you though. I know how hard it is for a white person to resist correcting a black person. It's my fault for baiting you.

    ReplyDelete
  126. Stupid crowd.

    ReplyDelete
  127. In 98, he was firmly behind Hogan, Flair, Hart, Sting, Savage, Nash, Luger, Goldberg, and possibly DDP depending on when in the year.

    ReplyDelete
  128. I would. Pretty girl, seems like a blast.

    ReplyDelete
  129. That bastard needs to rot in jail.

    ReplyDelete
  130. Wow the race card. You do realize I voted for Obama DON'T YOU?

    ReplyDelete
  131. Sure, but if you're judging someone's prime for how over they are, than we could say HHH, Hogan, Rock and Austin are still in their primes.

    ReplyDelete
  132. You damn right. I took me a while to realize who he was in WCW. He was just a completely different guy.

    ReplyDelete
  133. Judo works about anywhere... she's world class so it goes especially for her.

    ReplyDelete
  134. The woman that won season 1 and became a Gladiator in season 2 has the best abs I have seen

    ReplyDelete
  135. Ha, so what was it like dating Christy Mack?

    ReplyDelete
  136. There should be a limit on how many times you can use that. Each racist act is one hole punch. After the 20th time you just have to be plain ole racist.

    ReplyDelete
  137. He's a true piece of shit.

    ReplyDelete
  138. Unless you go for 100%, avoid wins in certain spots, cause then you get hit with the handicap barrage.

    ReplyDelete
  139. I wonder if Scott Steiner ever considered quitting wrestling and dedicating himself to bodybuilding and acting. Like if he thought he could be the next Arnold.

    ReplyDelete
  140. Great. I just heard Hulk Hogan say that in my head (a la Botchamania) and now he won't stop saying it.


    "I'M IN THE DANGER ZONE!"

    ReplyDelete
  141. She could beat up Floyd Mayweather Jr. Just ask her and she'll tell you.

    ReplyDelete
  142. Stranger in the AlpsAugust 21, 2014 at 6:39 PM

    I would have pegged him for a math teacher.

    ReplyDelete
  143. How old is she? That hasn't been on in a good 15 years, right?

    ReplyDelete
  144. Scott Steiner as a teacher wouldn't get my sympy at all.

    ReplyDelete
  145. Could've challenged Lex Luger for the WBF title.

    ReplyDelete
  146. Stranger in the AlpsAugust 21, 2014 at 6:40 PM

    His class would be the best behaved one.

    ReplyDelete
  147. No it came back in like 2006 or so for 2 seasons. Hulk Hogan and Muhammad Ali's daughter were the hosts and Gina Carrano was one of the Gladiator's named Crush

    ReplyDelete
  148. I can relate a bit. I was in the "farm system" for my occupation for four years before I caught a break. By the third year, I was training managers, and kept hearing that Terry Taylor bullshit, and it just made me more pissed an arrogant. Fourth year, I didn't do SHIT... got promoted.

    ReplyDelete
  149. Ah. I missed out on those.

    ReplyDelete
  150. But what if there were faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat asses?

    ReplyDelete
  151. With no TNA, how about we fill Thursday with our favorite recollections of Kwang?

    ReplyDelete
  152. Stranger in the AlpsAugust 21, 2014 at 6:42 PM

    Actually, yes, I can see him being like one of those jock teachers who pick on the losers.

    ReplyDelete
  153. People who said Alberto Del Rio was mailing it in during his last few months in WWE should watch some late-90s Scott Hall. I've been watching on the Network lately and compared to Hall, Del Rio has the intensity of Dean Ambrose mixed with Brian Pillman.

    ReplyDelete
  154. I still don't know why he isn't on tv. At least bring Tough Enough back and make him a trainer.

    ReplyDelete
  155. That time Diesel threw him out on his ass in the 94 Rumble.

    ReplyDelete
  156. Next to Kwang, sure.

    ReplyDelete
  157. I saw Expendables 3 today. I hadn't seen either of the first 2. It was a fairly fun movie. Nothing special, nothing horrible.

    ReplyDelete
  158. Stranger in the AlpsAugust 21, 2014 at 6:42 PM

    How about an article, written by yourself no less, about Kwang. Maybe a fake backstory for him or something.

    ReplyDelete
  159. I want Big E to have the torture rack.

    ReplyDelete
  160. Well, you like TNA so.......

    ReplyDelete
  161. 1 is okay.


    2 is Awesome, saw it 3 times.

    ReplyDelete
  162. But what a fall from grace. I don't know how comfortable I'd be in life if I peaked at 27.

    ReplyDelete
  163. If Caliber saw this post you would have to crack him again

    ReplyDelete
  164. Did you know that the Michael Larson run is the only 2-part Press Your Luck episode?

    ReplyDelete
  165. Only someone who didn't watch WCW then would think that.

    ReplyDelete
  166. Just had a solid solid Yoko and Owen v. kid and holly match and we get fucking Henry Godwin as the last match of the night.

    ReplyDelete
  167. Why would I have to fake anything?

    ReplyDelete
  168. Stranger in the AlpsAugust 21, 2014 at 6:45 PM

    That was actually WCW1987.

    ReplyDelete
  169. I'm insinuating that you are War Machine aka Jonathan Koppenhaver... who just beat the ever loving shit out of his porn star girlfriend Christy Mack. Then evaded police for a week, but remembering to tweet how in love he was.

    ReplyDelete
  170. I'm just messing with you.

    ReplyDelete
  171. Forgetting Giant too.

    ReplyDelete
  172. I remember being excited for the Keang vs Undertaker match on the Coliseum Home Video version of Undertaker... He Buries Them Alive. Good. Not great match.

    ReplyDelete
  173. Is she still in the hospital?

    ReplyDelete
  174. I wonder if he would bring him back for a quick run to get his win back.

    ReplyDelete
  175. My dad used to watch it and say, "They're all kind of like people who wouldn't make it in wrestling... kind of really ripped actors... except for Crush. Look at her before the competition starts, she's focused and looks like she's going to wreck someone."

    ReplyDelete
  176. You know that is where they were headed with Warrior

    ReplyDelete
  177. Mister_E_BarrettsLastPrivateerAugust 21, 2014 at 6:47 PM

    Way too humid around here today. It was like walking through a rain forest.

    ReplyDelete
  178. That would have been DISASTROUS. If Warrior wrestled he would have almost definitely died in the ring.

    ReplyDelete
  179. She was fucking brutal on the pyramid when she would take people down

    ReplyDelete
  180. Mister_E_BarrettsLastPrivateerAugust 21, 2014 at 6:48 PM

    I didn't see any trannies.

    ReplyDelete
  181. You never will until the undies come off.

    ReplyDelete
  182. Should have stayed home and watched the Network all day

    ReplyDelete
  183. He was only 30 during X-factor which is strange for that being the end of his career. And he never came back to do anything. Not even the D-X reunion run in 06. How bad did he burn that bridge?

    ReplyDelete
  184. Before I knew that she was Gina Carrano... it was the only reason I watched. I also thought she was the hottest of the girls.

    ReplyDelete
  185. Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are getting a divorce.
