Evening.
ReplyDeleteI am going against Peyton Manning twice this weekend...and favored in both.
ReplyDeleteEarly for the evening thread, no?
ReplyDeleteEarly for qualms about the timing of the evening thread, yes?
ReplyDeleteA little I guess.
ReplyDeleteNot really. I'd say right on time, damn it!
ReplyDeleteI like how Lucha Underground is presented, it feels like a television series.
ReplyDeleteI like wrestling to feel like a sporting event, not a television series.
ReplyDeleteAt least no one will freak out and think you're missing.
ReplyDeleteHell no. Anytime after 6PM Central is good.
ReplyDelete"But it's FAKE!"
ReplyDeleteDid anybody catch JR doing play-by-play for the Fox Sports 1 boxing card on Veterans Day?
ReplyDeleteParenthood looks awful. Why do people watch network TV still?
ReplyDeleteEvening.
ReplyDeleteGood news, I'm planning on leaving my house soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of building a still in my yard. Seems pretty easy to do.
ReplyDeleteNets in a blowout tonight
ReplyDeleteIt's decent. I fell out of it but I love me some Mae Whitman
ReplyDeleteYou and about 15000 hardcore fans in the US.
ReplyDeleteInteresting day today, I ended up having a conversation with a few wrestling fans today, and let me tell you, they were the markest marks to ever mark the face of the mark.
ReplyDeleteZoidberg: "Hooray!"
ReplyDeleteSo...my sister told me she bought me tickets for something for Christmas and told me if I planned on buying tickets for anything, let her know in case I'm buying tix to the same event.
ReplyDeleteWe live in the Bay Area and my bday is in late March.
.....WrestleMania??
The golden ticket.
ReplyDeleteDon't you do that almost every day?
ReplyDeleteI'd tell her to get me something else.
ReplyDeletePretty much all of my family who are wrestling friends are definitions of marks. That said, they probably get way more enjoyment out of the current product than I do.
ReplyDeleteAnd what Jobber said was true.
ReplyDelete9 years ago Eddie Guerrero died, we sure are gonna miss him.
ReplyDeleteslimy as fuck when he was a heel, relatable as a babyface, Eddie Guerrero was a once in a century talent.
Or some shitty indy show piggybacking off of Wrestlemania.
ReplyDeleteIf his direct family keeps treating him the way they've been, he's planning on leaving forever.
ReplyDeleteI went to Judgment Day 2004 and had a good time despite being a shit event top to bottom. WrestleMania would get me excited no matter my apathy to WWE right now, cause it's WrestleMania (and it would be my second). I'd pretty much react like Michael Shannon getting his WM tix in Groundhog Day
ReplyDeleteHow and when did you first find out pro wrestling was a work?
ReplyDeleteFor me it was a slow-mo replay of Macho Man's elbow drop that got the ball rolling. I was probably eight or nine years old.
The hot tag.
ReplyDeleteWrestling's never been the same for me since Eddie passed.
ReplyDeleteYeah. Free room and board sucks ass.
ReplyDeleteSSW's not going to be able to afford to send ONE MATCH to San Francisco, much less a whole show.
ReplyDeleteSpanish Fly.
ReplyDeleteState of Affairs...Jesus Christ enough
ReplyDeleteSeeing Undertaker on Regis and Kathie Lee.
ReplyDeleteWhat'd I say?
ReplyDeleteAnd paid for.
ReplyDeleteEven if the current product wasn't shit I'd have trouble sitting through a 5 hour show. And I'd rather watch at home anyway where I can smoke and beers aren't $15.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I saw Heigel, I assumed the show was crap.
ReplyDeleteIt'll be interesting to see what the ratings are considering how much goodwill Heigl pissed away since she hit the big time
ReplyDeleteBest Regis and Kathie guest
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KuDPfTfw6w
I remember when Arsenio Hall would have wrestlers on. I specifically remember Ultimate Warrior and Zeus being on the show, and Arsenio went with it and acted like he was scared of them and everything.
ReplyDeleteRoddy Piper going on Good Morning America and saying it was all a work, in order to avoid Athletic Commission oversight.
ReplyDeleteExpensive tickets for the next Hobbit movie?
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw the ads I thought it was Maria Bello for some reason.
ReplyDeleteWho cares if she buys you the same. You can dump your tickets if you want afterwards.
ReplyDeleteOr if her tickets suck, dump hers and make some sweet $$$.
Enjoying your unoriginal ECW wrestling?
ReplyDeleteI kind of always knew, the guy that got me into it was a smark, before that term really existed.
ReplyDeleteWell I wasn't planning on buying them lest they got super cheap, so it won't come into play
ReplyDeleteYou know how you said a long time ago how one of the kids you saw liked Randy Orton because he slithers? A kid I talked to today said Roman Reigns was his favorite wrestler because he's strong.
ReplyDeleteI came close to buying a travel package but 5500 is kinda steep especially since I don't want the meet and greet and stuff or the free hotel room. I kinda want to go though...
ReplyDeleteMaybe the version with the soap opera frame rate
ReplyDeleteMy Dad wrestled a bit on the Maple Leaf circuit as a young man. He smartened me up. I still didn't realize QUITE how rigged it was until I got online in the early 90s.
ReplyDeleteNerd.
ReplyDeleteWill we have another sub .500 division champ in the NFC South?
ReplyDeleteI wished it was her. She's awesome.
ReplyDeleteUnless Saints get hot.
ReplyDeleteECW marks are not allowed here.
ReplyDeleteMe and a friend built a still once. We never really figured out the recipes though and wound up just distilling alcohol into more potent alcohol.
ReplyDeleteThat better be Rude and Heenan.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah! It was my friends handicapped sister. I'll never forget that. Its Vince's target demo. Because he's strong?!?!? Brutal dude, put its always good to have your eyes opened. Its why I'll hide my wrestling fandom like it was herpes I had or something.
ReplyDeleteI could see the Panthers taking it with six wins.
ReplyDeleteIf anything, I was trying to get tickets to RAW at least. I didn't really think I'd have a shot at WM tix now that they've really priced them up; my WM21 ticket was $100, mid level seating at Staples with VIP concessions
ReplyDeleteMy wife is pregnant again.
ReplyDeleteThe first trimester is the reign of terror. I may not make it through alive.
Saints have talent. I don't know what their problem is.
ReplyDeleteI would think I could just Google that shit. And it's not like the ATF will be looking for one around here.
ReplyDeleteHad a friend of the family working for the WWF, snuck out an advertising flyer for the Savage/Flair, Hogan/Sid Mania showing those matches maybe 3 months ahead of time when it still looked Flair/Hogan-ish build
ReplyDeleteThey had to move their upcoming shows from the Civic Auditorium to some flea market.
ReplyDeleteYou are NOT the father!
ReplyDeleteBecause there's really good shows on network TV?
ReplyDeleteHer?
ReplyDeleteBeing a Discover card user is rough. Sure the cash back rewards are great and the user interface for the online bill pay is awesome, but it just isn't accepted everywhere. Bit of a bummer. I keep my Visa run high and it's not readily available for large online purchases. I'm just trying to sign up for some Microsoft certs online. Be a pal, let me use Discover.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations
ReplyDeleteBan me.
ReplyDeleteFrom my mom telling me every chance she got. I still don't know what her problem was/is. She just can't stand wrestling
ReplyDeleteIt's a boy. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting how Heigel went from super hot young star to super bitchy cunt.
ReplyDeleteShe's still attractive enough if she wants to be, instead, we get shots of her looking painfully serious with her arms crossed in that promo.
Yeah, this was pre Google that we did it.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it'll be fine, just don't kill yourself.
I once saw an episode where this hood rat was on for the second time, and none of them were the father either. So she's sleeping with 7 guys at once? What a skank. Though the guys celebrating was hilarious.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. How many do you have?
ReplyDeleteIf I had to go through the psychosis of it all and then that was the case, I would literally kill someone.
ReplyDeleteWhat channel does Lucha Underground come on? I said I'd try it but can't find it
ReplyDeleteThanks, this'll be 2.
ReplyDeleteThere was a guy on 'Maury' today who had 15 kids and was being tested for a potential 16th.
ReplyDelete"How's the wife?"
ReplyDelete"Pregnant again."
"Well, that'll happen..."
El Rey.
ReplyDeleteEl Rey.
ReplyDeleteHe was kind of in the middle of being a smark and a mark, he knew about some non kayfabe things as well as stuff that they don't mention on TV.
ReplyDeleteHe watched other promotions as well. It was just a weird how he was mostly a mark that I had to explain a few things to, yet he knew some backstage things also.
Of course the one thing that makes me smile was when I said that TNA was going to possibly go out of business, he got so pumped up and excited for that.
Bout to put on SurSer 06.
ReplyDeleteSame here. I think I had it on once and my parents were like this is fake and stupid you can't watch it.
ReplyDeleteThis chick I met over the summer left a note on my door saying she was pregnant. She still hasn't shown me any evidence proving this so I'm just gonna roll with it. Haven't heard from her in a few months so maybe she was bluffing?! I'm really hoping so.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the card?
ReplyDeleteShows that if my significant other told me she'd want us to be on, she would not be my significant other immediately after that sentence:
ReplyDeleteANY daytime "trailer trash" show. (Springer, Maury, etc...)
ANY reality show,
There are others, but those two are definitely "Goodbye" material.
??? Never heard of that.
ReplyDeleteCard is subject to suck.
ReplyDeleteDid your mom also make sure you knew Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy weren't real? I think my parents just let me believe what I believed until I figured it out myself.
ReplyDelete"No, you're going to stand here and listen to all the things I'd accept as payment than your fly-by-night credit card."
ReplyDeleteThe 2 twins in that ad are pretty hot though.
"Slugger Giancarlo Stanton and the Miami Marlins are discussing a long-term contract in the $300 million range, sources confirmed to ESPN on Thursday."
ReplyDeleteI'd be OK with Maury, because if I wasn't the father, then I'd do a TD dance and get in her grill yelling "IN YOUR FACE!!!"
ReplyDeleteI figured Santa at five, when I found one of my presents in their closet. Wrestling didn't last much longer, but I was willing to play along much longer.
ReplyDelete2006? I believe that.
ReplyDeleteAre they going to play in a sandlot next year too?
ReplyDeleteI see Directv carries it. Don't think Charter does.
ReplyDeleteYeah right. That's more than the whole team is worth.
ReplyDeleteMine is like that too.
ReplyDeleteI have an amex through my work and they also mail me shit begging me to get a personal amex too but only like 50% of places take it. So I don't really want another one.
ReplyDeleteHomer, your home made liquor is exploding again...
ReplyDeleteIt's somewhere between 250 and 350 on DirecTV
ReplyDeleteMain event is Booker T vs. Batista. No buys.
ReplyDeleteThat sucks to hear. My dad saw my fandom and encouraged it and would actually play along. Whenever we'd watch wrestling he'd go full Heenan and annoy the hell out of me rooting against the faces and that made me want to see them win more.
ReplyDeleteThey'll almost own more money to the government than ECW did.
ReplyDeleteI always thought it was odd that they only have 15 numbers.
ReplyDeleteI don't have it. I've got Charter
ReplyDeleteAlso, that kid can do a mean Adam those impression.
ReplyDeleteThey had some of the most through-the-motion matches ever.
ReplyDeleteThey'll almost own more money to the government than ECW did?
ReplyDeleteRefresh.
ReplyDeleteWhen bought the DVD, I wasn't in it for the main event, all I cared about was the 3 elimination tag matches.
ReplyDeleteGeena Davis looks ghoulish. RIP.
ReplyDeleteWhat time does Lucha Underground start?
ReplyDeleteThat's the funny thing...she's all about some Santa Claus. She won't get anyone a Christmas gift after they stop believing in Santa. That lady is crazy is what I'm trying to say.
ReplyDeleteDidn't anyone learn from the A-Roid and Pujols contracts?
ReplyDeleteWait, Jeffrey Loria owns that team. Never mind.
Where can it be watched?
ReplyDeleteNo one ever learns.
ReplyDeleteEl Rey.
ReplyDeleteI have a Citibank platinum
ReplyDeleteThe rewards are okay and I get a $4,000 limit.
Pretty excited for this card. Bunch of elimination matches and the company was in a really weird period where ECW was kinda still taken seriously.
ReplyDeleteIt was on last night, I believe.
ReplyDeleteMy dad was awesome. He'd mark out like he was our age. The first ppv we ever ordered was SurSer 88. Koko had the upper hand on Big Bossman and started celebrating. Then he got caught in the Bossman slam and my dad just lost it.
ReplyDeleteIt all started to go down hill a week later.
ReplyDeleteDave Scherer has the Amex black card you keep in a suitcase though.
ReplyDeleteWWECW was underrated.
ReplyDeleteSaw that Test is in one of the matches. Forgot they brought him back for a bit,
ReplyDeleteCongrats and good luck.
ReplyDeleteDebra Messing replaced her as my go-to redhead.
ReplyDeleteMost people I know stopped taking WWECE seriously after the Zombie.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could get excited about these Kim Kardashian pictures, but she's making the goofiest goddamn faces in the world. It's bad enough her personality is a boner-killer without her having to grin like she just inhaled half a tank of Joker Venom.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the show. King Booker was the shit. This was a fun time for him
ReplyDeleteShoot Interview Poll is up
ReplyDeletehttp://vote.pollcode.com/13159954
Did you like GAB?
ReplyDeleteHa!
ReplyDeleteIn his 3rd house
ReplyDeleteIt turned into a preview of what NXT was going to be, showcasing new talent.
ReplyDeleteSo, the first episode then.
ReplyDeleteI'm still watching it, I never got a chance to finish it off today. Right now I'm watching shawn vs Jericho, and its really good. I know I'm gonna pissed watching HHH go over Edge in the main event but hopefully the match will be good.
ReplyDeleteThis pregame show sucks. I don't even want to know who the commentators are.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree. She looks kablammo on that new cop show she's on.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great alternative, plus a great place where wrestlers were able to hone their crafts and find their niche and what works/what doesn't. What's wrong with that?
ReplyDeleteThe first fucking match, which lasted all of 20 seconds.
ReplyDeleteI think it was fine. Thought Edge should have gone over though.
ReplyDeleteConsidering that we've already seen her in a full on porno it's hard to get too excited. But that ass pic was dece.
ReplyDeleteThe name.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm just gonna bet the bills on the money line. I wish I could tease NBA and NFL games together but I can't :(
ReplyDeleteAre you being sarcastic?
ReplyDeleteYup, it was great.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe I'm thinking of this now, but is it possible that the alien that was going to be on ECW was a dig at the term ECW mutant?
ReplyDeleteAfter the Bills shit the bed last week I'd take Miami.
ReplyDeleteOh god ECWWE sucked so bad. In theory you are right but that's not really what happened with that show.
ReplyDeleteThat PPV, December to Dismember was one of the worst ever.
ReplyDeleteIt sucked at first, but once they stopped making it a stupid ECW duplicate, it was a fun show.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I remember those were all insisted on by Sci-Fi, and them all getting totally squashed was Vince's "fuck you" to the network.
ReplyDeleteYeah but I want the odds. I dunno I hate all AFC east teams really. I just like to bet dogs on the money line. If I could tease the over to 35 and the Bills to plus 10 with a decent pay out I would but I really need more thing to tease to get minus 110 odds and I can't combo NBA games with it anymore I guess.
ReplyDeleteNo. If they would have called it anything else there would not have been nearly as much backlash.
ReplyDeleteThe worst ppv ever put out by WWE and I'd argue even by wcw or ecw.
ReplyDeleteThe Dolphins post-Marino never win big but they never flat out suck either. They are stuck in the 6-8 win range every year.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen it, but I can't imagine it being worse than KOTR 95.
ReplyDeleteSo I finally have a closing date for this condo. Next Friday.
ReplyDeleteAfter Monday I am without internet for a week.
my shoes cost more than your house!
ReplyDeleteYeah, although I just found it ridiculous that people bashed it just for its name. The whole idea of bringing back ECW was stupid to begin with.
ReplyDeleteDidn't you say the O/U is 41? Best bet would be the under, I'd say.
ReplyDeleteYeah neither team will score 20 points
ReplyDeleteThe Stranger Revolution continues?
ReplyDeleteThat last part I think we can all agree on. The first PPV was great just as a reunion show, but that should have been the end of it.
ReplyDeleteEspecially on 3 days rest.
ReplyDeleteWe will await your return in constant fear of your death.
ReplyDelete2006 just seemed like a year where WWE tried reliving the 90s - DX, ECW, McMahons, Slap-stick humor....
ReplyDeleteKOTR 95 is way better dude. Its a baaaaaad show with really cheap production value. Its TNA level stuff
ReplyDeleteDisqus is trying way too hard to make things look slick.
ReplyDelete"La-tex con-dom... Boy I like to live in one of those!"
ReplyDeleteDanimal will have a panic attack.
ReplyDeleteDid people think I was dead yesterday?
ReplyDeleteHow sad that that was the year I fully got into wresting, and I loved all of it.
ReplyDeleteDid they add dancing?
ReplyDeleteJust Danimal, twas weird
ReplyDeleteI didn't even mind them doing ONS 2006 (even if it Cena/Rock before Cena/Rock).
ReplyDeleteI was gone for like 12 hours too. Not a week.
ReplyDeleteHBK is the man. What a fucking story they just told. 2008 is great because of Shawn and Jericho.
ReplyDeleteThey are making everything go to the side of the screen.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine KOTR95 being better than anything. Worst PPV ever, IMO, at least shit like Heroes of Wrestling and 2000 WCW were entertaining on how balls-out shitty they were.
ReplyDeleteIts a crime that Jim Ross didn't get to call the majority of the shawn vs Jericho matches. This stupid asshole cole is so fucking bad at his job.
ReplyDeleteWhat, they're doing blackface now?
ReplyDeleteThat's just racist.
Smackdown was a pretty good show. Raw was one big nostalgic trip. And ECW was awful.
ReplyDelete"(even if it Cena/Rock before Cena/Rock)."
ReplyDeleteHuh?
Forget a week, how about a month.
ReplyDeleteHe's an odd duck.
ReplyDeleteCole and Coach called the main event at Wrestlemania 24....
ReplyDelete
