We're in the
Silv.....SUPERdome tonight with three weeks before Bash at the Beach.
The main story is the old vs. new story kicking off last week with
Bagwell pinning Flair in an eight man tag. Other than that it looks
like we're looking at Sid vs. Nash for the title at the PPV, which
almost has to be better than Nash vs. Savage. Let's get to it.
We open with a recap of
last week's show. Haven't I suffered enough?
The Hummer shows up
with Savage and entourage inside. Nash's limo pulls up behind it and
tries to find out who was driving but the Hummer gets away. So Sid
wasn't driving a few weeks ago?
Nitro Girls.
Master P. and some
other rappers perform. These guys are so “bout it bout it” that
they don't even need microphones near their face to rap. This goes
on WAY too long.
The announcers wonder
about the Hummer.
Video on the music
battle match from the Bash.
Lenny Lane is in the
back and wondering what trunks to wear. Lodi comes in to give him a
pep talk for his match with Meng later because Lenny can last a long
time and has a lot of stamina. Lenny even gets a shoulder rub to
warm him up. This is exactly what it sounds like.
DJ Ran.
Kidman vs. Psychosis
We start fast with
Psychosis scoring with a shoulder and baseball slide to send Kidman
out to the floor. Kidman slingshots back in with an ankle scissors
and a great looking dropkick. A clothesline puts Psychosis on the
floor for a HUGE dive to put both guys down. Back in with Kidman
nailing a slingshot legdrop for two, only to have a superplex attempt
countered into a super gordbuster.
They head outside again
with Kidman going into the barricade, setting up a split legged
moonsault out to the floor for a cool spot. Back in again with
Kidman dropkicking the masked one out of the air, only to miss a
charge. Psychosis puts him on top for a huge hurricanrana, only to
try a powerbomb for some stupid reason. Kidman goes up for the
Shooting Star....and Savage and Sid come in for the DQ.
Rating: C.
Nice opening match but the Savage Show must continue. Sid at least
keeps Savage from needing the girls to do all the work for him to
make Savage look a bit tougher. The match itself was entertaining
but we're running out of matches to see in the division. I
still don't get why
Psychosis had to drop the belt back a week after winning the thing.
Mysterio has defended
it once since
winning it nearly two months
ago so why give it to him?
Sid cleans house until
Sting comes out for the save. Nash follows him out but has a
question for Sting: why didn't he attack Savage and Sid? And why did
he get out of a black Hummer last week to go after Rick Steiner?
Sting denies driving the Hummer a few weeks ago, but Nash says he
wasn't accusing him. Nash even calls Sting Franchise Boy. There's a
Shane Douglas joke in there somewhere.
Piper and Flair make
Savage/Sid vs. Sting/Nash for Bash at the Beach and Sting vs. Sid for
tonight.
Clips of Piper and
Flair teaming up.
Meng vs. Lenny Lane
The fans shout various
homophobic terms at Lane. Lenny's headlock is easily broken up and a
headbutt works as well as you would expect. He tries going up top
but gets Tongan Death Gripped down to the mat for a fast pin.
Lodi helps Lane to the
back.
Nitro Girls.
More on who was driving
the Hummer. No one knows if that wasn't clear.
Here are Master P. and
the No Limit Soldiers, complete with Brad Armstrong in fatigues.
Master P. wants to sing Happy Birthday to his brother and asks a fan
to come in to sing the song for him. We get a guy in a big black
afro wig to sing Happy Birthday as the fans are just dying. Cue Curt
Hennig in a Dallas Stars jersey with a present for P.'s brother.
Hennig opens the gift and pulls out a cowboy hat. The brother throws
it down and stomps on it, a brawl starts and cake is thrown.
You know, out of all
the stupid stuff WCW did over the years, this might be the worst
thought out feud ever. To begin with, Master P. allegedly cost
hundreds of thousands of dollars per appearance, which usually lasted
all of three minutes. Then he and his friends run around shouting
HOODY HOO and sounding like a bunch of morons. But remember, they're
the good guys in this story.
The bad guys are the
ring technicians who wear cowboy hats and gave what appeared to be a
nice gift to Master P.'s brother. Keep in mind that WCW has weekly
NASCAR updates on Thunder, but we're supposed to boo the cowboys.
This feud has been a disaster since the beginning and makes the least
sense of anything I've seen in a long time.
Eddie Guerrero vs.
Juventud Guerrera
Can we just keep this
match on for the next two hours or so? This is Eddie's in ring
return after about six months off due to injury. A slap annoys Juvy
and Guerrero stomps away to take over. A tilt-a-whirl backbreaker
plants Juvy but he comes back with a hurricanrana for two. Eddie
takes over again with a belly to back suplex and they head outside.
After whipping Juvy into the barricade they head back inside for a
sleeper from Eddie as we take a break.
Back with Juvy in an
abdominal stretch but crawling over Eddie into a sunset flip for two.
Eddie starts going after the legs before nailing a brainbuster for
two. We hit the sleeper again until Guerrera counters with a belly
to back suplex of his own. Juvy pulls Eddie down by the hair and
nails a missile dropkick to send Eddie outside. A big suicide dive
drops Guerrero and a springboard spinwheel kick does the same back
inside. Eddie easily escapes the Juvy Driver though and grabs a
neckbreaker, only to pick Guerrera up and spin him around before
dropping him again. The Frog Splash is good for the pin.
Rating: C+.
Yep Eddie still has it. He looked as polished as he has in years
here and had a good comeback match minus a lot of the character stuff
he had going before the injury. Eddie looks like a guy that is ready
to step up to the next level, but I can't imagine that's going to
happen in this company.
Prince
Iaukea vs. The Cat
We
get the usual dancing and five seconds thing before Iaukea dropkicks
Cat out to the floor. They
slug it out on the floor with Iaukea going into the barricade before
it heads back inside. Iaukea nails an enziguri and Samoan drop for
two, only to have Sonny slip the shoe on Miller's foot. A big kick
to the head is enough to end Prince and thankfully get us out of here
quickly.
Booker
T. vs. Kanyon
Kanyon
has a Tag Team Title with him. Booker gets one of the biggest pops
I've ever heard him get. At least the fans can recognize talent. We
get things going with Mr. T. armdragging him down and scoring with an
awesome looking dropkick for two. The
big forearm and a clothesline sends Kanyon to the floor and us to a
break. Back with Kanyon
running from Booker on the floor before coming back in to duck a
sidekick and botch what looks like a Gory Stretch with Booker falling
off his shoulder.
A
neckbreaker and legdrop get two on Booker but he they head outside
with Kanyon taking over again. Back
in again and a surfboard has Booker in trouble but as usual, the hold
doesn't last long. Some suplexes and a slingshot elbow get two for
Kanyon. Booker fights up with his usual and hits some kicks, only to
have Page and Bigelow come in for the DQ.
Rating: C.
Again, good stuff for the most part until someone ran in for the DQ.
That being said, Booker fighting off the forces of the Triad could be
interesting and could be a boost for him, as long as he doesn't just
get back together with Stevie Ray to reform a tag team that stopped
meaning anything about two years ago.
Something
like a 3D on the title belt leaves Booker laying.
Gene
brings out Piper and Flair, with entourage of course, for a chat.
Piper uses the usual cheap
lines about sports teams and mentions Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Flair says Buff is a beggar and that he was with Bagwell's girlfriend
last night. Buff comes out, gets beaten down and the brawl is on.
Actually make that a match according to Flair.
Good thing he and Piper just happened to be in their wrestling gear.
Buff
Bagwell vs. Roddy Piper/Ric Flair
Flair
tells Bagwell to make the same sounds his girlfriend made last night.
The old guys hammer away on
Bagwell and throw him out to the floor, only to have Anderson get
nailed in the face. Buff comes back in with a sunset flip for two
and nails all three guys. He slaps a Figure Four on Flair but Piper
makes a fast save. Some atomic drops have Piper reeling but he comes
back with that double ear clap. Piper
puts on the sleeper and the crowd just dies. That was almost
disturbing.
Bagwell
fights up and hits Piper low before slamming Flair off the top. Off
to Ric who ducks a dropkick and tries the Figure Four but gets rolled
up for two. Piper comes
back in as Malenko tries to come in but gets stopped by Mickie Jay.
Dean is allowed to be Buff's partner as Bagwell clotheslines Flair
down and makes the hot tag to Malenko. Roddy breaks up a quick
Cloverleaf attempt so Dean slaps it on Arn instead. The Blockbuster
knocks Flair out but Piper hits Buff with brass knuckles and puts
Flair on top for the pin.
Rating: D+.
Well so much for Buff's
momentum. By momentum I mean winning one match after losing every
big match he's had for months of course but that's a major push in
WCW if you're under 38 years old. Piper continues to drag down any
match he's in as his offense would have looked outdated in 1978.
Nitro
Girls.
Tag
Team Titles: Kanyon/Diamond Dallas Page vs. Konnan/Rey Mysterio Jr.
Why
would Kanyon work twice tonight when Bigelow is in their corner?
Page takes Mysterio into the
corner to start but takes a standing Lionsault and a dropkick to
knock him into the ropes. Off to Konnan for the rolling clothesline
but he walks into a jawbreaker. Kanyon comes in but walks into a
drop toehold, setting up a springboard legdrop from Mysterio. For
some reason Rey dives onto Bigelow, earning him a whip into the steps
as we take a break.
Back
with Mysterio headscissoring
Page down, setting up a double tag to Kanyon and Konnan. Everything
breaks down with Konnan cleaning house and throwing Mysterio into a
Bronco Buster on Page. Kanyon
comes back with a legdrop between Konnan's legs as Bigelow gets in as
well. Things settle down
with Page hooking a front facelock on Konnan. Back to Kanyon who
misses a moonsault, allowing for the real hot tag to Mysterio for
a springboard seated senton to Page. Rey dives onto Bigelow again
but with better results this time. Everything
breaks down again but the cowboys come in for the DQ.
Rating: D+.
Yet another DQ to mess up what could have been a decent match.
Konnan and Mysterio have nice chemistry together and putting them up
against three guys at once is a good way to make them look like
underdogs. Mysterio diving on Bigelow over and over again made him
look stupid though and slowed things down.
Benoit,
Saturn and the No Limit Soldiers run in for the save to try and
validate the latter's pay.
Sting
vs. Sid Vicious
They
stand around for a bit before Sting avoids a charge in the corner.
Cue Savage and the girls to trip Sting and give Sid early control.
Sting makes a quick comeback
with a bulldog and kick to the face but Savage offers another
distraction to let Sid choke away. Some
kicks to Sting's head and ribs have him in trouble but Sid stops to
yell at the camera. Another
boot misses and Sting hits the Splash, drawing in Savage for the DQ.
Rating: F.
This match headlined a show in 1989 and it's headlining another show
in 1999. Is that really all WCW can come up with? And a DQ finish
to make sure neither guy has to look bad? The fact that it's the
fourth DQ on the show doesn't help either, as it makes things all the
more frustrating. This was barely a match.
Luger
comes in for the save and a long staredown and insults wrap things
up. Sting: “WE'VE GOT TWO WORDS FOR YOU!” A crotch chop ends
the show. Seriously.
Overall Rating: D.
I'm not sure how to describe this show. It was better than the
recent weeks due to less stupid stuff going on but the in ring stuff
was even more frustrating. Half of the matches ended via DQ, two
ended with foreign objects to the head, and one of the clean wins
lasted all of ninety seconds. This
show has almost completely stopped being about wrestling and is now
about every old, over the hill wrestler they can dig up. The
old vs. new stuff was still around but it's clear that the story is
taking a backseat to the other old guys. Speaking of which, where
did Nash disappear to? He was just gone after half an hour.

If Dave Scherer reported this first you're in a world of trouble Scott.
ReplyDeleteI'm officially worried about Bayless.
ReplyDelete*Prepares for witty retort from Vince Jordan*
ReplyDeleteHey if you haven't voted today, be sure to do so!
ReplyDeletehttp://placetobenation.com/
I'll check in with him.
ReplyDeleteDOES THIS MEAN SCOTT IS WORKING FOR ERIC BISCHOFF? TUNE IN TO NITRO TO FIND OUT!
ReplyDeleteJust tell her to let it play out and see where it goes.
ReplyDeleteWWE is leaving a lot of money on the table for not taking my mom's advice.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be WWE reporting that My Mum sucks? Because she sucks dick? And the WWE are mostly male? So shouldn't it be, "Your mum sucks dick -- WWE"?
ReplyDeleteHa-ha, silly Scott. It's my Mum who is the one sucking! You look so foolish right now for getting that wrong!
If Bayless is out do I need to cover for Abeyance or something?
ReplyDeleteUh, "It's that cat for whom my condolences primarily extend. Yep."
Bayless has another job and has a lot going on, I'm sure he's okay. He wrote a report last night.
ReplyDeleteThe post IMMEDIATELY before this one, is from Bayless!
ReplyDeleteOh, BITCH BITCH BITCH.
ReplyDeleteReplace Meekin with WWF1987 on this biased TNA blog
ReplyDeleteThis is the best news update in the HISTORY OF OUR SPORT
ReplyDelete+ Shelton Benjamin's mom is the third man
The last time my mom watched wrestling:
ReplyDelete-Ric Flair was a legitimate World Title contender, if not champ
-Sting was the hot prospect
-Hulkamania was running wild
-Steve Austin was a young guy learning the ropes in Texas
-The Rock was still playing football
-Stephanie McMahon was still a virgin
-Vince McMahon was (mostly) sane
-A lot of guys weren't dead
So I'm confident in saying she honestly does not give a shit about WWE. Or wrestling, period. Now get her started on bingo...
Grumpy Scott.
ReplyDeleteSo if you want Hogan to come back, who is she clamouring for? Gorgeous George?
ReplyDelete*Stranger looks longingly at his hat and coat hanging up in the closet*
ReplyDelete.
"I don't know......I don't think there's anything left in the tank....."
My mom's favorite wrestler is the boogie woggie man. Do we really want to use her as a source?!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine Keith putting on glasses and saying "I still can't see WWE being a good product".
ReplyDeleteThe SUPERDOME???????
ReplyDeleteFor a NITRO?!?!?!?
I know WCW announced that 20,000+ were in attendance, but that arena holds far more than that, and how much did it cost to rent out the flipping Superdome for a night? How many papered tickets did they have? And how empty did it look on TV?
"Witty" seems like a stretch.
ReplyDeleteNah. Billy Graham. Duh.
ReplyDeleteThe best wrestling story concerning my mom is when I showed her Mabel in 1993, and she implied that maybe he's really not THAT big, and he has a bunch of padding under his clothes... Which i really couldn't deny as he wore a full body suit... Then he came back in 1998 as evil Viscera... still couldn't prove it... Then "The worlds largest love machine"... Same damn thing, pyjamas that covered everything....
ReplyDeleteThen came Big Daddy V... Jesus christ, how I wish there would still be doubt about the theory... MY EYES!! MY EYES!!
This news update needs lot of funny gifs in the comments.
ReplyDeleteTNA sucks.
ReplyDeleteThe source: People with brains.
All of your moms are bitter smarks!!
ReplyDelete(good enough? We're done here?)
Makes me wish I had 6 hands.
ReplyDeleteAnd he had a third nipple.
ReplyDeleteForget being deep in Nascar country, I can't accept that a single place on earth no matter how metropolitan would cheer on those idiot No Limit Soldier fools.
ReplyDeleteMy Mom totally does think that!
ReplyDeleteKEEP CALM "BECAUSE WCW."
ReplyDelete*inserts obligatory Randy Savage joke about point #6*
ReplyDeleteEven then, that was allegedly AFTER she stopped watching.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Savage put a Vince mask over Steph's face as they made coitus.
ReplyDeleteHaven't watched in I believe six weeks. I'm guessing it's the same as ever.
ReplyDeleteThe milk's gone bad, Charlie Murphy!
ReplyDeleteIt's actually depressing now. The shows weren't anything great in New York and they barely sold out any of them, but at least the crowd was into the shows. These Bethlehem taping are just sad. From the little I can manage to watch, nobody is there, nobody is making noise, and the place is as dark as a movie theater.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/2014-11-10/gif-of-the-night-26805973
ReplyDeleteMy mom was a mark for Virgil.
ReplyDeleteFUCKING VIRGIL. In defense, that was my grandfather's name.
That is a good gif, sir.
ReplyDeleteApparently he's singing "Another One Bites the Dust".
ReplyDeleteHey, Master P told them they'd sell out the place based on his being there.
ReplyDeleteMy mom was a mark for Bret.
ReplyDeleteWas that stolen from PWINSIDER?
ReplyDeleteThe last one I watched looked like a poor indy show, almost something out of ROH's first year. Or some public access indy with a small following.
ReplyDeleteNo, not SSW. That's next year for TNA.
I don't have the heart to tell my mother or her sisters that most of the Von Erichs are dead.
ReplyDeleteI checked out the beginning of Bound for Glory, and it was really sad. They panned the crowd, and it looked like the tiny venue local bands (and WWECW) played in my hometown. I know it may be an historic venue, but seeing that little place with empty seats was depressing.
ReplyDeleteI didn't notice any major areas empty but I can imagine a lot of black curtains were used. I was there with a packed house at Wrestlemania earlier this year and there certainly weren't that many there for this show.
ReplyDeleteShe was probably marked by Bret.
ReplyDeleteSNAP! UP HIGH! DON'T LEAVE ME HANGING NOW!
Bound For Glory's production values looked awful from the few clips I've seen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiiJXqqSZk8
ReplyDeleteThat was supposed to be a big gamechanger for TNA, and it ended up being a crappy-looking show with only a dozen TNA wrestlers where nothing of consequence happened.
My mom always liked the Ultimate Warrior. She sent me a txt telling me that she was sorry he died. I thought it was a misunderstanding on her part since he had just gotten into the HOF and been on Raw. Then I went onto the blog...that was a strange week to be a wrestling fan wasn't it?
ReplyDeleteMy mom said that! Really?
ReplyDeleteWell then I'll have to subject to episodes of TNA Impact until she changes her mind!
And to think, I thought that WrestleMania 30 was the biggest wrestling show in Superdome history.
ReplyDeleteI was right.
I found that so ironic: they loaded up all the Impacts before that show and didn't even promote it. Exactly what they did forever, and exactly what killed their PPV business.
ReplyDeleteMy mom is saddened that I love wrestling so much.
ReplyDelete... that won't help. She'll just hate ALL wrestling afterwards.
ReplyDeleteYou should marry it and teach your mom about prejudice.
ReplyDeleteShe'll hate the world if she has to watch Impact.
ReplyDeleteI told my mom back in August that for my birthday, instead of everyone getting me something small, everyone just chip in 20-30 bucks and get me a pair of tickets to Survivor Series, since my girlfriend already got me tickets for Raw the next night, I figured I'd go for broke and make it a WWE road trip as I'm taking the whole week of Thanksgiving off and I live about halfway between STL and Indy.
ReplyDeleteShe was all like, "You know that it's Survivor Series, so it's gonna be a wack-ass card and Lesnar's probably not even gonna be there, so it'll be some lame Authority v. Cena's rando squad team match as the main event."
This may or may not have happened, but the point is, my family didn't get me Survivor Series tickets. And I'm glad I'm going to just Raw instead of seeing this wack-ass card with no Lesnar and some lame Authority v. Cena's rando squad team match as the main event.
Your mom sucks.
ReplyDeleteSource: WWE
I basically am already lol.
ReplyDeleteYour source sucks.
ReplyDeleteMom: WWE
Mom sucks WWE
ReplyDelete-Your Source
When I was like 8 I told my Mom that I was going to be a wrestler when I grew up.
ReplyDeleteShe told me that was unfortunate, because she would never attend one of my matches.
When you asked her why, did she tell you that she didn't owe you an explanation?
ReplyDeleteHi.
ReplyDelete"Why won't you attend--"
ReplyDelete"IT DOESN'T MATTER WHY I WON'T ATTEND YOUR MATCHES!"
I wouldn't come see my son job to IRS either. You'd probably tap in the abdominal stretch.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of terrible TNA ideas, why do they always overbook the arena size for Bound For Glory. Take a look:
ReplyDelete2007: 4,000 (Gwinnett Center holds 13,100 for concerts)
2008: 5,000 (Sears Center holds 11,800 for concerts)
2009: 2,400 (Bren Events Center holds 5,430 for concerts)
2010: 3,500 (Ocean Center holds 9,312)
2011: 3,585 (Liacouras Center holds 10,206)
2012: 2,900 (GCU Arena holds 7,000)
2013: 3,000 (Viejas Arena holds 12,845 for center stage concerts)
2014: 1,500 (Korakuen Hall holds 2,005)
We can assume those attendance numbers are inflated, but even on the reported figures only in 2009 and 2014 did TNA even come close to half-filling the venue. You'd think they would've figured it out by the second year they were going too large.
"No, no, I'm sorry that he died 20 years ago and Kerry Von Erich replaced him"
ReplyDeleteDid they name your grandfather that way as a rib on Dusty?
ReplyDelete...really?
ReplyDeletehttp://patch.com/california/banning-beaumont/campers-already-out-beaumont-awaiting-black-friday-deals-0
Something happen?
ReplyDeleteMy mom thought Razor Ramon was cute. And Kevin Nash once hit on my aunt at like some Mexican beach resort. So....uh....Outsiders 4 life?
ReplyDeletePeople have to just do this stuff to get 15 minutes of fame. Nobody is this dumb.
ReplyDeleteThis is America. Of course people are this dumb.
ReplyDeleteIdiots.
ReplyDeleteWCW and the WWF did some dome shows in this period for Nitro/Raw, always in reduced configurations from full capacity. It's pretty common these days in bigger facilities that allow for multiple seat configurations,
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of moms... Question of the day:
ReplyDeleteLet's say you mom revealed that she was a ring rat about the time you were conceived and there is a strong possibility that a wrestler from that era is your real father.
Who would you most want that wrestler to be?
Your mom said "wack-ass"?
ReplyDeleteHornswoggle. Then things will finally be looking up.
ReplyDeleteAlmost entirely unrelated, but I have a cousin named Dusty Rhodes.
ReplyDeleteDoes he have a lisp?
ReplyDeleteRandy Savage, no question.
ReplyDeleteSeeing as I was 12 or 13 during IRS' run, that seems fair, if oddly mean spirited.
ReplyDeleteLike I said, it may not have happened exactly like that. There may have been no such conversation at all.
ReplyDeleteNot that I recall. I haven't seen him or talked to him outside Facebook in a few years. He might be coming to town for the Illinois/Iowa game this weekend, though, so I may report back.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, if people don't go to the stores during this Black Friday on Thanksgiving, they won't do the sales at that time anymore.
ReplyDeletePeople are their own worst enemy sometimes.
You wouldn't want it to be someone still alive?
ReplyDeleteYeah, come to think of it, I'm not sure I would either.
Well, it wasn't even in the South.
ReplyDeleteNo don't take it like that. I'm just joking around. Was meant to be more of IRS/Abdominal Stretch reference than a shot at you. That move was so dumb. Not like he's the only one to do it....but still.
ReplyDeleteWWE is a family brand - happy families. Maybe single mothers like WWE, we don't know. Frankly, we don't want to know. It's a market we can do without.
ReplyDeleteI think Dusty was named that as a rib on my grandfather.
ReplyDeleteIRS made the move famous.
ReplyDeleteIRS made taxes famous. I never even heard of them before him. Granted I was 9 years old in 1993.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell? I cannot up-vote people.
ReplyDeleteI can't upvote myself :(
ReplyDeleteMine still works.
ReplyDeleteNo, we're too busy hunting and cooking turkeys. Usually in dangerous ways.
ReplyDeleteThis sucks. WWF1987 missed all my up-votes to him for all his compellingly written, thought-provoking, and well-reasoned posts.
ReplyDeleteHuh huh huh
ReplyDelete*rimshot*
ReplyDeleteSomeone that still has cash and is relatively healthy.
ReplyDeleteNot sure how many of those are left from 1979...
Backlund? Bruno?
Deep fried turkeys in the living room with the extra big drapes and extra shag on the extra shag carpets
ReplyDeleteAnd the turkey is "pretty much" dry
Ted DiBiase or Paul Orndorff.
ReplyDeleteSilly, nobody does that shit indoors. Outdoors, with the propane bottle about two feet from the burner.
ReplyDeleteFor all I know my mom could have been at the same MSG show where Foley saw Snuka dive off the cage, and dated Foley until January the next year.
ReplyDeleteIron Shiek
ReplyDelete/end thread.
It wouldn't have been Backlund. He would have worn a condom and told your mom to stop eating the marijuana.
ReplyDeleteAnd to name the presidents before banging her.
ReplyDelete... condoms break.
ReplyDeleteRead the Facebook comments to any Right Wing or Fox News Facebook post... plenty of those people are from all over the country.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love trolling the shit out of them.
Jarrett could go out and sign Styles, Bully, Young Bucks, and a handful of others. Just stay with a roster of 20 or so "GFW Guys" then bring in 10-15 guys from ROH, NJPW, AAA, or whatever other promotions they are dealing with at the time and have those 30 or so total do a months worth of tapings for TV or a monthly PPV. GFW smells like an old school NWA and I'm loving the scent.
ReplyDeleteThat looks nothing like old school NWA.
ReplyDeleteLithen daddy, I juth can't WAIT for Illini bathketball, they gon' git funky like a monkey in the Big Ten! Now are the football playath in the Leedas or the Legends, daddy?
ReplyDeleteDealing with local territories and having a decent sized full-time roster would be a modern day NWA.
ReplyDeleteThink of ROH, AAA, NJPW, and the other contracted promotions as "territories" albeit most of them more profitable than GFW will be in the beginning.
I'd upvote this if I could.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry. Jarrett will still be booking himself as the top star.
ReplyDeleteCirca 1980... uh, Dick the Bruiser.
ReplyDeleteI thought you meant stylistically. Okay, I see what you're saying.
ReplyDeleteRick Rude.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking more forward to GFW next year than TNA.
ReplyDeleteBob Backlund.
ReplyDeleteAre you sick?
ReplyDeleteJarrett: Karen, you know I put business first no matter what. And I'm not going to lie, we have a lot of household names and great wrestlers on our roster. But honestly, they just aren't as talented nor well-known than I am. I gotta put the title on me for at least the first 6 months.
ReplyDeleteI said this same thing about 2 months ago. TNA still puts out a good weekly show, but taping 8 weeks in advance and no PPV's isn't exactly something I can get excited about.
ReplyDeleteIt has potential, I won't lie. But you just know Vince Russo will be the head booker.
ReplyDeleteJust hire a bunch of retired wrestlers and Jim Ross to do the booking.
ReplyDeleteWill there be clubberin during this basketball game?
ReplyDeleteYeah Jarrett knows what to say to get us excited, but the guy just strikes me as stubborn and I doubt has bothered to learn all the mistakes he made with TNA.
ReplyDeleteNah, more like during...nothing gets ol' Bob revved up than some American presidential history.
ReplyDeleteI honestly do not remember if Illinois was in the Leaders or Legends division when those awful division names existed.
ReplyDeleteBut this was spectacular.
I'd upvote it more if I could.
ReplyDeleteIn my case, it would be Dominic DeNucci.
ReplyDelete.
I'm-a gunna kick-a your ass-a.
What's the capital of Honduras?
ReplyDeleteTegucigalpa.
*splooges*
Watching the Season 5 Christmas episode of Roseanne and David is wearing the early 90's Superman Bloody S T-shirt from the Death of storyline.
ReplyDeleteDamn that logo was so cool at the time and is so terrible now.
Bret Hart had a mistress in Newark.
ReplyDeleteI live near Newark.
...hmm.
He had mistresses everywhere. If you ever notice your mom having tears in her eyes for no reason then start to ask questions.
ReplyDeleteIt was probably the only arena they could get. They couldn't have it at most high school gyms or they would look more bush league than they already do.
ReplyDeleteIf you said ,"I don't watch the WWE and don't know if that source is true but All of your moms are bitter smarks!!" I could have gone along with it, homie.
ReplyDeleteSo... last member of Team Cena and Team Authority?
ReplyDeleteI just watched CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio's Over the Limit 2010 match, and it was awesome. Mysterio was taken some sick bumps, Punk's facial expressions were awesome and so was his vicious in-ring style. They had great chemistry too and were about three steps ahead of the audience. Fuck Mysterio haters.
ReplyDeleteNot sure my mom is qualified to give an opinion on the WWE but I agree with her conclusion.
ReplyDeleteYour mom.
ReplyDeleteI love Rey. He gets abused by the internet for no reason. Even at his worst, he is a guaranteed *** or so match.
ReplyDeleteLowest form of wrestling fan are Rey haters!
ReplyDeleteBrie and Nikki.
ReplyDeleteThis thread is about to break down into mom jokes soon.
ReplyDeleteThat's how I feel about a lot of 90s pop culture. I think that's normal.
ReplyDeleteRey prior to 2011 was still quite awesome.
ReplyDeleteWas that roided up Rey?
ReplyDeleteAh, your mom.
ReplyDeleteI fucked her.
How can anyone say his matches were all the same?
ReplyDeleteHe became really roided in 2011 and then basically broke down to the point that he couldn't wrestle.
ReplyDeleteBut but but boo hoo hoo the 619 isn't as realistic as standing in one spot and letting Ricky Steamboat chop your chest!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey don't understand wrestling matches and what happens in them.
ReplyDeleteI don't even mind the 619 at all, plus there were so many neat and creative ways he did it and counters of it.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow marks nine years since Eddie passed :(
ReplyDeleteRandom person that should have been in the WWE Hall of Fame years ago:
ReplyDeleteJack Tunney.
...yo seriously get off my mom man.
ReplyDeleteI JUST GOT OFF OF YOURS!!!!!
Absolutely. He came up with plenty of spots to get a guy on the ropes in a wrestling plausible way. Plus if you think about what the move really is its awesome.
ReplyDelete"He could maybe increase my work-rate, add more moves to his 5 moves of doom, or allow my heel persona shine through."
ReplyDeleteRandom person that should have never gotten into the WWE Hall of Fame years ago.
ReplyDeleteJames Dudley.

ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the time I had a dream where I worked for Vince McMahon, and over dinner one night with him, HHH, and the rest of the family he said, "Hey, I think I can finally tell you...I'm your real father!!" and we hugged.
ReplyDeleteNow, I love my dad and everything but I *was* a bit bummed out when I woke up...
I heard that after Vince McMahon saw your mom naked he used that as inspiration for the furry Giant Gonzalez suit.
ReplyDeleteDo you know what is funny? Jim Cornette blames Russo for never being wrong, but Cornette does the same exact thing.
ReplyDeleteI've never told my mom I watch wrestling, much less that its my favorite sport pretty much. She'd be HORRIFIED!
ReplyDeletedammit I laughed out loud at that...at work.
ReplyDeleteWhipper Billy Watson
ReplyDeleteYo momma so ugly even Mark Henry said he couldn't tap that.
ReplyDeleteDid you show your mom pics of big daddy v in the spandex?
ReplyDeleteYour mom is like a hockey game. She changes pads every three periods.
ReplyDeleteHenry's wife is hot.
ReplyDeleteI think the "Franchise Boy" was meant to be a Shane Douglas allusion, because for whatever reason, WCW was kinda working the smarks around this time to make them think Shane Douglas drove the hummer. I remember Tony speculating about it and saying, "That's the thing about it, we don't know who's driving it! It could be someone who's not even in WCW! Or it could be someone who used to be in WCW but hasn't been for a while!"
ReplyDeleteHe's pretty awful nowadays; especially since he hadn't had success in a long time.
ReplyDeleteI was so excited when ROH gave Cornette the book. I thought the company would turn it around. It ended up being their worst run ever, yes worst than 2002.
ReplyDeleteThey were like the biggest celebrities in New Orleans at the time though. I know because I went to Tulane two months after this and their popularity there was... well, about as absurd as their place in wrestling.
ReplyDelete"-Stephanie McMahon was still a virgin"
ReplyDeleteAllegedly
Yo momma is so stupid she brought a spoon to the super bowl...and that bitch is so fat she figured out a way to eat it!
ReplyDeleteI love Cornette, but I've had to stop listening to his podcast for this same reason (along with being sick of his rants on Christians and Republicans...enough already). I've never heard him admit to being wrong about anything, but he crushes Russo for it.
ReplyDelete... this would have been BEFORE Savage, even. Unless there's another, sicker rumor...?
ReplyDeleteI think his biggest sin is Gigolo Jimmy Del Ray.
ReplyDeleteI get that, but you don't typically see bands booking a venue that they can't mostly fill. It's, embarrassing, a waste of money and kills morale.
ReplyDeleteIt's like when TNA booked the Alamodome for Lockdown 2013. Sure, they drew 7,200... but in a venue that holds 70,000. You're telling me they couldn't find a 5-10k seat arena anywhere else in Texas?
Yo momma is so ugly she had to get you drunk as a baby just so she could breast feed
ReplyDeleteUh oh, I fear in the live thread were going to get 100 Jobber posts lamenting the detractors of Rey.
ReplyDeleteIf you want me as your white knight be my favorite wrestler for years and THEN add my area code to your theme song!
ReplyDeleteIn other news, fuck I'm old :(
ReplyDeleteIT's the same thing with any wrestler they don't like. "Blandy Boreton" has had some great matches throughout the year but "they're all the same." Punk, on the other hand, might have followed the same routine for his matches but they're epic.
ReplyDeleteYo mamma so fat that I fucked her, rolled over twice, and was still on top of her.
ReplyDeleteAs long as you're okay with me White Knighting Randy.
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of surprising that southern-fried Cornette is a democrat.
ReplyDeleteWho are YOU to doubt El Dudley?
ReplyDeleteYo momma so old, she farts dust.
ReplyDeleteJim Johnson
ReplyDeleteFor me it would be The Original Sheik or Da Crusher
ReplyDeleteSo, nothing at all going on in your life for the next 22 days? No Thanksgiving with the family?? Impressive...
ReplyDeleteAnd now Superman's the guy DOING the killing! #ManOfSteelBreaksZodsNeck
