I don't even know what he could possibly be there to say. National Coming Out Day was Saturday.
ReplyDelete"The Authority may think they know what's best for business, but Todd Chrisley from USA Network's "Chrisley Knows Best" original series just might want to challenge that come Raw this Monday."
ReplyDeleteHahahaha, eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
Oh, it's gonna be a bad segment isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThe King of Kings versus The Queen of Queens? Ratings AIDS.
ReplyDeleteYeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssss!
ReplyDeleteI just feel bad for international audiences. Like, WE don't even know who this honky-ass cracker is. I can only hope WWE has the good sense to put him in a segment that can easily be edited out. Like, just put him with Fandango in an "I Wonder What the Score Is?" segment.
ReplyDeleteShit, you're right. That's depressing, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteTwist: Draws 14.9 quarter hour.
ReplyDeleteI always found it weird that they want to disavow the lineages of so many different superstars these days, particularly among the Divas (Shaul Guerrero), yet TAMINA SNUKA is the one whose history they just have to acknowledge.
ReplyDeleteOr TNA for that matter. But i think thatt Jarrett will have something big going with GFW.
ReplyDeleteYep, you're correct. Only just opened in China though, a lot of money left to be made.
ReplyDeleteIn the end, I think Duggan's disappearance from the WWF had to do with being a Hogan buddy. IIRC, Duggan left the WWF in 1992 pretty much the same time Hogan did. I can't remember him doing anything on TV after the 8-man bout at WM VIII in 92. Then, as soon as Hogan comes back to help Beefcake on RAW, Duggan is back in the spotlight, helping put Yoko over right before WM IX. And he stayed pretty active from then until KOTR, where both he and Hogan got jobbed out. I really don't remember him doing much on TV after that point in 93. It's funny Hogan and Duggan were so "attached at the hip" behind the scenes (as the emailer said) but they never really formed an alliance on-screen. Sure Duggan was Hogan's understudy on house shows, they both had the patriotic gimmick, and they feuded with the same guys but they never really teamed up for a big match (Survivor Series 1990 is the only time I can remember but even then Duggan was just a random 4-on-4 throw in). Even Tugboat got to be more of a "Hogan buddy" than Duggan.
ReplyDeleteNoelle Foley will debut as Womankind, Cactus Jill, or Dudette Love.
ReplyDeleteHot wife, plus if you look at the old high school pics ue had in his first book, he was put together well. he just ended up mutilated over time.
ReplyDeleteI saw a bit of Comic Book Men last night while waiting for Walking Dead to come back.
ReplyDeleteHarley Quinn Smith (Kevin's daughter) is okay. Her voice is very low and raspy.
I've heard Noelle on Cheap Heat podcast a few times. She seems a bit valley girl-ish, but yet girl next door as well. It's a bit hard to describe.
Too pretty for wrestling.
I am already tired of hearing Michael Cole say "daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley, the PRINCESS OF HARDCORE!". . . and she hasn't even started training yet.
ReplyDeleteYou may be joking, but it'll probably happen.
ReplyDeleteTwist: You put the decimal point too far to the right.
ReplyDeleteThe Fast movies were bigger than Guardians, and Bond hasn't even come out yet. (And we don't even actually know if Batista is in it.) Batista isn't even on teh same planet as Rock yet in terms of movie success.
ReplyDeleteShe won't. The girl is a huge fan of the product. Might have even had a crush on CM Punk at one point.
ReplyDeleteNipple!
ReplyDeleteI had to look up who Todd Chrisley was. They are also having some bitch from "Real Housewives of Atlanta" on.
ReplyDeleteHas there ever been a bigger "miss" in Raw's history?
Oh boy, can't wait to see drunken Flair slur his words, make passes at grossed out women, and.. elbow his jacket! Ughhhh.
ReplyDeleteDuggan vs DiBiase from Mid South is usually considered the standard bearer for Hacksaw.
ReplyDeleteIf he figure fours Todd Chrisley, I'm in. Elbow drop for the Housewives chick.
ReplyDeleteScratch that, it's Chick Love.
ReplyDeleteand a Real Housewife chick too. So embarrassingly bad.
ReplyDeleteYep. Much like Mick Foley, he wouldn't even make it past developmental these days. He connects with the audience and has tons of natural charisma but he just doesn't have the right "look." These days the WWE thinks they can take any random 6'4" muscled-up, good looking guy and manufacture charisma for him by scripting every word of his 10-munite promos week in and week out on RAW. That's how they create "stars" these days. No wonder hardly anyone stands out in their homogenized product.
ReplyDelete"Three Stooges" anyone?
ReplyDeleteApropos of absolutely nothing, here are a couple of my pics from New York Comic Con this weekend.
ReplyDeletehttp://postimg.org/gallery/2if49lz4y/
Cammy can get it. As can random Black Angel-looking girl.
Last week?
ReplyDeleteNever thought of that. Apt comparison.
ReplyDeleteEh, I'd rather see Flair beg off from and sell for Chrisley.
ReplyDeleteMore than that, but i think he does a lot of tags.
ReplyDeleteIs there a sexier character on TV right now than Killian Jones?
ReplyDeleteYeah, we've heard he could carry a broomstick to three snowflakes. Let's see him put his money where his mouth is by carrying a wet noodle to two and a quarter.
ReplyDeleteI dunno, the girl who plays Anna is kind of stunning. Was irked that she wasn't on this week.
ReplyDeleteBold Prediction: Christley won't be that bad.
ReplyDeleteHe won't be Bob Barker, but we won't remember him like we do NASCAR idiots or The Three Stooges.
Traditionally, Bond movies have made good, solid $$$, but they don't break records or the box office. Casino Royale and Skyfall are particular exceptions.
ReplyDeleteMy guess for the next Bond is 500 million when it's all said and done.
Didn't he turn heel in WCW? Teamed with Storm in Team Canada.
ReplyDeleteIf Noelle Foley actually makes it to Raw, I expect Mick to be eating a few RKOs.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I forgot Rock was even in Fast 6, but still, it's conjecture based on him having a significant part in the first place and Bond 24 grossing as well as Skyfall ($1 billion+). Guardians only opened in China yesterday, so it certainly has a shot at overtaking Fast 6.
ReplyDelete...What money?
ReplyDeleteSummerslam at the IZOD Center? Ugh...
ReplyDeleteTrue enough
ReplyDeleteDAMN, that's really disappointing. I was hoping for a cool stadium show.
ReplyDelete*corrected
ReplyDeleteSo, anyone get the e-mail that the Network is going to start having ads now?
ReplyDeleteDear WWE Network Subscriber,
Today WWE Network will begin to run limited video advertisements.
Here's what you can expect:
• No commercial breaks during scheduled programming
• Limited advertising between shows
• Occasional advertising before our video-on-demand content
If you have any questions regarding your subscription, please visit wwe.com/help. Thank you for being a WWE Network subscriber.

and Cole will say, 100x a show, "Mrs. Foley's baby boy's baby girl!"
ReplyDeleteQuantum of Solace actually did nearly as well as Casino Royale. Hard to believe. But coming after Skyfall I'd imagine 700-800. Conjecture, as I said, but that's pretty much all the BoD deals in!
ReplyDeleteYea, one of the rumours was the Red Bulls stadium which would've been cool
ReplyDeleteWouldn't surprise me if he considered a pocket of Chuck E. Cheese tokens valid legal tender.
ReplyDeleteThere's no way to know that, because back in the 70's, 80's, and most of the 90's information wasn't freely available.
ReplyDeleteAlso, even lots of us on BoD are fine with people being where they are. I don't think most of us believe Sheamus is going to be the next Hogan or Cena. Cesaro is probably going to be a mid-carder for life.
Most of us have more of a problem of how WWE is wasting them at their level. Like the Ryder argument again. I say let the guy get himself as over as possible, and then they all make $$$. Let these guys make money for themselves and the WWE. Why not push Cesaro when he was hot to make more money off of shirts and accessories?
Well the point still stands - we treated him like a big useless lump and now he's making big hollywood movies. Respect to him for not rubbing it in everyone's faces
ReplyDeleteBut to your point i think it's a case of 'don't hate the player, hate the game'. Anyone offered big money to come back to the top of the card would do the same
Yeah I heard that-- seemed like the perfect solution if they were worried about filling Giants Stadium. The soccer stadium is what, like 35-40 thousand? Shoulda been a no-brainer for the NY/NJ area.
ReplyDeleteShe's got dick on her mind.
ReplyDeleteNoelle Foley...the first diva to be thrown off the Hell in the Cell cage.
ReplyDeleteThat's a straight up Mr. Satan comment right there
ReplyDeleteAs long as the advertising doesn't interrupt videos once they start, I'm fine with it. If it gets to where videos in the vault suddenly get stopped for commercials, then it becomes a major problem.
ReplyDeleteDon't we all?
ReplyDeleteCactus Jackie!
ReplyDeleteVintage foley
ReplyDeleteIn the NY/NJ pairing that WWE insists on doing, who's more offended of the two at the pairing?
ReplyDeleteNo big deal, Netflix does this t....oh right, no they don't.
ReplyDeleteWWE released Willie Mack!
ReplyDeleteI bet he drowns his sorrows in some Chili Mac
He wasn't in shape or trained for a comeback. He was winded from walking to the ring. It's one thing to want to make the money but he was completely cashing in.
ReplyDeleteI don't think WWE themselves know their upcoming matches.
ReplyDeleteIf it keeps the Network going at 9.99, I'm fine.
ReplyDeleteI honestly wouldn't mind there being ads during shows that had ads--it's odd to watch an old Raw or Smackdown or Nitro and have a big lead up to a commercial...and then it immediately continues...
As long as they don't start doing the "every five minutes of whatever you watch, we'll insert an ad" thing that DailyMotion does...
Wonder what Flair will do tonight? WOO!
ReplyDeleteTwist: She slowly drifts away like the Forest Gump feather.
ReplyDeleteI think it's just more indicative that the Network is not the success they wanted it to be
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to get my friend who is a huge wrestling fan into puro. We're going to watch Wrestle Kingdom since it's going to be in English. I kept telling her how amazing the Tanahashi vs Okada rivalry is, so this worked out perfectly.
ReplyDeleteWell, duh...
ReplyDelete(Sorry to sound flippant...but everyone admits that it isn't what they thought it would be...but, they're pot committed now.)
Go into business for himself
ReplyDeleteUnlike TNA, which is about to go out of business
(I think I'm trolling you correctly)
I got that e-mail, too. WTF.
ReplyDeleteShe thinks you're trying to get her into porno
ReplyDeleteConsidering they only call it NY/NJ when the event is clearly held in New Jersey, I'd say NJ is the one with reason to be offended. It's not advertised as NY/NJ when something's in MSG or Barclay's.
ReplyDeleteOnly if there's the accompanying music.
ReplyDeleteI'm okay with this, cause I want it to continue existing.
ReplyDeleteI'm so psyched for Tanahashi vs. Okada AGAIN! It is seriously this generations Steamboat vs. Flair.
ReplyDeleteNJ is a B+ player
ReplyDeleteYeah, good idea. Pick the worst arena of all time.
ReplyDeleteQoS did so well because Casino Royale was really great. Skyfall did so well because of tremendous reviews I feel. Every reviewer and site was raving about how great Skyfall was. I was going to see it anyways, but those reviews got me really excited to actually go.
ReplyDeleteKnowing WWE, she'll come in as Michelle Axel.
ReplyDeleteOr, if she starts in NXT, she'll be Alexandria McNamara.
JR/punk on commentary...one can only dream
ReplyDeleteYeah I don't disagree - I was hating on him hard. But I don't blame him for coming back because it was WWE's decision
ReplyDeletesomething something Rusev DAT LANA
ReplyDeleteWell, it hasn't stopped me before...
ReplyDeleteMick Foley would sometimes use the Testicular Claw
ReplyDeleteYeah, now you're thinking about Noelle doing it to you, you PREverts
This is all counter-programming to Monday Night Football...
ReplyDelete"What would someone who loves football absolutely hate," Kevin Dunn mused, "Let's get them!"
Stupid Sexy Flanders
ReplyDeleteI feel like we're not excited enough about the return of the Mad Ox.
ReplyDeleteAgree with both of you - scared the hell out of me.
ReplyDeleteOther twist: Bully Ray comes back as Bubba
ReplyDelete"So Noelle, we're thinking about re-doing the angle your dad did with getting a vagina created in his head via chair shots. How are you with that?"
ReplyDeleteSomebody hasn't read Mick's first book! His wife was a model for years and, honestly, is still pretty smoking hot.
ReplyDeleteWhat's really funny is that in the same book, Mick jokes about not thinking that Noelle was very pretty as a child.
Only real difference is that Duggan had an established character - Show has flip-flopped so many times in such rapid succession that it's hard to really "get to know him" or be invested in his wins and losses.
ReplyDeleteWhich is sad, cuz Show is a legitimately nice, funny, well-spoken guy.
gonna need a citation on that one. my classmate Dave used to write for them and most of his announcements were pretty spot on. he writes for Forbes now, so I think that speaks to overall trustworthiness.
ReplyDeleteWOO BRAD MADDOX IS BACK...said no one
ReplyDeleteDoes an Abeyance say "Yep" in the woods?
ReplyDeleteLR has a pretty great track record.
ReplyDelete** In skinny jeans **
ReplyDeleteDark? Whaddaya mean dark, you racist?
