Way to phone it in Bayless. This is why you have only 1 home.
ReplyDelete'bout damn time. Jeez.
ReplyDeleteI hear Ric Flair is celebrating the new year by watching a Bret Hart match http://i.minus.com/iVjpkLfVHmKiD.gif
ReplyDeleteAs well as Big Show http://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Sad-Big-Show-WWE.gif
ReplyDeleteOh please. That dude doesn't need a Bret match to cry. He probably just got finished tying his shoes and was overwhelmed by it.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the best intro song to Raw? I'm personally in favor of the late 1997 one.
ReplyDeleteWait.. Edge & Christian file a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the WWE and that's not news??
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure that has more to do with a list of his creditors.
ReplyDeleteThe little dog clearly went to the Hoss school of sharing.
ReplyDeletehttps://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/8177272832/h885F3A1A/
Wait What? Why?
ReplyDeleteIs that the one that sounds like a Biohazard jam? If so, I agree.
ReplyDelete'Thorn In Your Eye".. I had no idea what they were saying, but it sounded like all Hell was breaking loose.
ReplyDeleteIs that the one where Bret, Austin, Ahmed and others fight in a warehouse?
ReplyDeleteOh wow I should start watching ROH again https://38.media.tumblr.com/2c4ec0bfeb7f5e182adc126010038561/tumblr_ng4mx67OBR1rt59e8o2_250.gif
ReplyDeleteAll the Raw intros: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EeMFxBp_Q4
ReplyDeleteThen I agree. It really fit the time period.
ReplyDelete...because it's an angle they'll probably drop by the Rumble?
ReplyDeleteThere is an unsubstantiated rumor floating around that this is what happened to VJ. I can neither confirm nor deny.
ReplyDeletehttps://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/8406392832/h5D4746F7/
Idea the WWE should do but won't: Commissioners Edge and Christian.
ReplyDeleteExtra points if Foley appears to tell them he's proud of them.
If it's on 411Mania then it has to be true:
ReplyDeletehttp://411mania.com/wrestling/edge-and-christian-file-multi-million-dollar-lawsuit-against-wwe/
Sodas rule!
ReplyDeleteReal smooth Seth http://i.imgflip.com/furb6.gif
ReplyDeleteHe's not an A+ player like a certain dog lover we know.
ReplyDelete"Across The Nation"
ReplyDelete...goddammit...
ReplyDeleteThere is no way Jamiroquai should lose to the fucking Spice Girls.
ReplyDeleteVeda Scott is beautiful as well. I like how ROH and DGUSA treat the women as actual people and not just eye candy. I mean, they still show cleavage and are attractive, but they're also allowed to be people. Except for the girls in the House of Truth, but that's the point of HoT.
ReplyDeleteThis can lead to Edge and Christian dropping the lawsuit only if the Authority leave and a debut of Edge's new favorite wrestler: Sami Zayn!
ReplyDeleteI know that would be... wait for it... virtual insanity!
ReplyDeleteThat poor dog.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. Not just cause E&C are cool, but it'd be nice to have babyface authority figures to counteract HHH and Steph. And even though I think this joke is
ReplyDeleteit won't, but I'd love it.
ReplyDeleteA whole nother hour to go...
ReplyDeleteUntil?
ReplyDeleteA buddy of mine is a huge fan of Jamiroquai. Like, he used to go see them? him? Whatever...anyway, he has all the albums and gets upset about them being a one hit wonder. It's a lot of fun to give him grief about. I used to have Virtual Insanity as my ringtone for him just so he'd get pissed off when he found out. Good times.
ReplyDeleteSame here. 1997 fit the Raw Is War mantra perfectly
ReplyDeleteHome time!
ReplyDeleteJust for that really cool video with the sliding floor, that dude deserves at least a couple wins.
ReplyDeleteThe virtual insanity chick?
ReplyDeleteMy GED is holding me back.
ReplyDeleteAh. I thought maybe that is when the Dave "The Canadian" Coulier "2014: Cut It Out" New Year's Eve "program" aired.
ReplyDeleteThree hours here.
ReplyDeleteI love when people shit talk GEDs. I have a GED... I also have a MA and had a 4.0 in grad school... and while I don't spend my days doing blow off of hookers asses I am doing all right for myself.
ReplyDeleteSame... but honestly it is just going to change the location I do nothing at as I am not being the least bit productive today... which is good for the BoD because you get ALL THE PARALLAX YOU CAN HANDLE!
ReplyDeleteI've had to be a little productive, but other than one jackass it's been a fine morning.
ReplyDeleteIt's a Scherer insult. Scherer is as insecure as it gets. Its pathetic. He is even insanely jealous about Meltzer to the point he censors out any mention of him or the Observer on his website.
ReplyDeleteWith guests Rocky and Bullwinkle.
ReplyDeleteI am aware of the origin... but I've heard other people make similar comments over the years.
ReplyDeleteAs terrible as WWE was in 2014, doesn't it almost feels like WWF/WWE exists only because of 3 runs in their history?
ReplyDeleteHogan
Austin
Cena
That was a chick!?!?
ReplyDeleteno
ReplyDeleteBruno.
ReplyDeleteNdomakung Suh is a bitch and the league is full of pussies.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it seems like they have one guy at any given point in time that can reliably draw, and everything else is almost filler on one level or another.
ReplyDeleteAgain with the Coulier jokes!
ReplyDeleteYou guys gave the world Carrot Top! Larry The Cable Guy! Kathy Griffin! Dane Cook!
I trust you'd have no problem addressing a room full of them, informing them of your opinion.
ReplyDeleteLast day of vacation. Been nice for sure
ReplyDeleteI think the ideal Authority figure is a semi-retired babyface who can still take bumps from a monster heel and occasional get in the ring to draw some major sympathy heat.
ReplyDeleteI don't get people who insult the education of others. People who had difficulty in high school can grow up to have a steady job and those who did well in school can not translate that into the work force. School and the workplace are a lot different.
ReplyDeleteGorilla Moonsoon was perfect as president
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean "you guys"!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteI ate insanely hot chicken wings last night. I like hot but this was ridiculous. I was shaking and sore after 10 minutes. Anyway, I'm on the toilet now and I suspect I'll be here for awhile.
ReplyDeleteagreed.
ReplyDeleteUpdates as things develop or GTFO
ReplyDeleteI actually liked the idea of HHH as the wide-eyed babyface authority figure who was in over his head back in 2011. The execution was just all wrong.
ReplyDeleteThen it is back to doing nothing at work as opposed to home?
ReplyDeleteIt's an angle.
ReplyDeleteThe 97-98 version of Thorn In Your Eye is the PERFECT wrestling song. Every time I hear it I want to powerbomb somebody through a table.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree. I just got mine because I was home schooled and had already done everything you need to do in high school and didn't want to wait.
ReplyDeleteI learned my lesson from that. I actually had to get some cream for relief. That's between me and you though. Nothing like sneaking into the drug store in the middle of the night and hoping no one catches you buying something for your burning butt hole
ReplyDeleteNight81, the Anti-American Canadian
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of cream does one get for a sore shit shooter? I'm asking for a friend.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I volunteered to work tomorrow. Time and a half to watch movies all day
ReplyDeleteCoulier is about to start a several evening engagement in Cleveland, OH.
ReplyDeleteHe finds it more convenient to take work on the American side of the border. Where he was born.
He was the brains behind Lance Storm, Test, and Christian!
ReplyDeletecortizone.
ReplyDeleteHE HATES US FOR OUR FREEDOM!
ReplyDeleteNaw.
ReplyDeleteHHH wasn't ready for the role then. He was still trying to get himself over. I think he could handle it now
ReplyDeleteTry and light the gas as it escapes you.
ReplyDeleteIt'll be fun.
You know his schedule because he discussed it on the conference call all Canadians must participate in each day.
ReplyDeleteI assume the on hold music for it is Alan Thicke singing the Growing Pains theme.
A possible heel turn on their end?
ReplyDeleteDC Comics needs a new all-powerful bad guy. Everything is Darkseid, Darkseid, Darkseid...
ReplyDeleteReading the obscure wrestling facts on the Wrestlecrap board and this took my eye: "Highlights from Bret Hart and Chris Benoit at Mayhem 1999 are in the opening intro for Malcolm in the Middle, which premiered on January 9 2000. By the third episode on January 23rd, Hart's career was over with an injury and Benoit left for the WWF. That's only two months and two days after the event from which the match was taken."
ReplyDeletePlease tell me it said Ass Cream on the jar.
ReplyDeleteWe do have an annual comedy thing here in Toronto on New Year's Eve. Tom Green is hosting this year, and he's Canadian born, but you guys can have him.
ReplyDeleteI have friends who barely graduated high school, fucked around, then got jobs after graduation and are both master electricians who make great money and have no student loan debt. Education is overrated in that aspect. Why put yourself in major debt for a degree that pays a median salary?
ReplyDeleteBray Wyatt, Eater of Worlds, Which Explains Why He's So Goddamn Fat
ReplyDeleteHot ass or sour ass? Hot ass is self-explanatory. Sour ass is Buffalo sauce.
ReplyDeleteI hate both.
Life is unfaaaaaiiiir....
ReplyDeleteHmm...he can be like DC's Galactus!!
ReplyDeleteDude, when Vader hit the Vaderbomb on him back in 1996, I was legit freaked out. That made Vader an instant player. Too bad he screwed it up by being too stiff and never washing his outfit.
ReplyDeleteYou're not the boss of me now!
ReplyDeleteI was actually looking for that in the store. Wasn't bold enough to ask the cashier if they were out
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Unlike Tunney, he never would allow a miscarriage of justice. Stripping Austin of his '97 Royal Rumble title shot for instance
ReplyDeleteWith 35% MORE ASS
ReplyDeleteKind of don't.
ReplyDeleteDC creates lot of event baddies that never get used again, or just looks much worse every time.
I love DC, but it's very much like WWE. Push the top aging guys only. Except in comics, they either don't age, or they reboot everything back to younger.
Especially annoying is people that major in shit like "Psychology" or "Sociology" or "Philosophy" because they have tons of student loan debt, no job skills... but still act like super obnoxious intellectual hipsters.
ReplyDeleteYou guys nailed it. I have a Master's in Business, emphasis in Sport Management...and it's been five years since I've worked with a Pro Team. I didn't even get a degree in Social Work, but that's the field I ended up in.
ReplyDeleteJust to start some discussion, lets look back at my 2014 NFL Mock Draft and see how that looked today. It would have looked good for Browns fans today, that's for sure.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.rspwfaq.net/2014/05/nfl-draft-live-thread.html
I never really bought Darkseid as a threat either. I know he is CRAY powerful but he just doesn't come off as that big a threat in most stories.
ReplyDeleteThose are degrees for kids who come from money.
ReplyDeleteThe reason I hated babyface 2011 HHH is because he put himself over CM Punk, and made Punk the heel in their brief feud. Punk was the hottest thing in the company, and HHH squashed him like a bug.
ReplyDeleteAnti-Monitor
ReplyDeleteYou also have Mort Sahl, but few people under 60 remember him
ReplyDeleteThis is the closest thing I know of; not really close though.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.walgreens.com/store/c/anti-monkey-butt-powder-original/ID=prod4761334-product?ext=msnPersonal_Care_PLA_Talcs_ampersand_Powders_prod4761334_{ifdyn:dyn}{ifpe:pe}{ifpla:pla}&adtype={adtype}&kpid=prod4761334&sst=0ba3952a-9d81-b968-1a84-000010f19d6b
Yeah. Then there are the "Too wishy washy or dumb" majors like Business, Criminal Justice, or Early Childhood Development.

Happy New Year from Western Australia :)
ReplyDeleteIn the thread I said that Kelvin Benjamin has bust written all over him. Shows how much I know.
ReplyDeleteDon't tell us what happens, we want it to be a surprise.
ReplyDeleteI'll probably will not be online when the times come. So, Happy new year to everyone, I really like you guys.
ReplyDeleteAnyone doing anything interesting for NYE? I always stay in on this night. Wasn't even planning on drinking, but that may change.
ReplyDeletePast your bedtime?
ReplyDeleteSame to you. Have a Fosters for me.
ReplyDeleteI'll be with my family.
ReplyDeleteAll of his really awesome things happened before the Bronze age, like before Crisis on Infinite Earths.
ReplyDeleteThe other problem is that in all of DC's media, Superman has been matching up against Darkseid quite successfully, so he's not the threat he was. He should be more Thanos level, or Doom level, or at worse, Kang/Ultron-level, but in recent years, he's been more like Wrecker-level.
After Flashpoint, DC rebuilt him as Doom-level, but there hasn't been many appearances.
You don't think of us as family? #ThatHurts
ReplyDeleteStaying in with the girlfriend, watching Woody Allen and Hitchcock films, eating cheese, drinking nice beer and cider. Easing in to 2015.
ReplyDeleteStop crying.
ReplyDeleteWishing you all a Happy New Year/Blwyddyn Newydd Dda.
ReplyDelete2014's had some great wrestling (NJPW and NXT particularly), but it'd be nice if WWE got it together in the new year.
Harvey's is bringing back the double bacon burger - back bacon AND side bacon!
ReplyDelete#GOCANADA
That is exactly my problem with him. He is supposed to be a nearly all powerful god type... but Superman has pedigreed him so many times he is hard to take seriously.
ReplyDeleteDarkseid is better when he's behind the curtain as the mastermind, like in Legends.
ReplyDeleteChinese food, shrimp, light drinking, and probably Captain America 2.
ReplyDeleteWhy? I AM NOT ASHAMED OF HOW I FEEL!!!
ReplyDeleteIn Jericho's autobiography his compares his legacy to that of George Harrison.
ReplyDeleteHarrison was one of the very best songwriters of his era but because he was in a band with the two best songwriters, he ends up very underrated. He compared this to being in the WWF alongside Rock/Austin.
You could make the same statement about Savage
Someone, I forget who, said "A drunk is someone who drinks 364 days every year, except New Years - which is amateur night"
ReplyDeletePicking up a friend and staying in to drink beer and watch wrestling.
ReplyDeleteI could do that or go downtown where it's going to be a negative temperature with wind chill while MGK performs an outdoor concert.
Your bacon looks like ham, it doesn't even count.
ReplyDeleteYEAH BITCH CALL HIM STEVE O!
ReplyDeleteEducation is a business.
ReplyDeleteI liked MGK until that song came out.
ReplyDeleteDave Coulier will be performing from Jan 8-13.
ReplyDeleteChinese food AND shrimp? That is an odd combo.
ReplyDeleteI like Harrison's stuff.
ReplyDeleteI could do without Allen. Other than that, sounds solid.
ReplyDeleteThe lyrics make so little sense "Cobains back got these crazy white boys yelling Cobains back" WTF?
ReplyDeleteYou did say Nik Stauskas was going to suck in the NBA so kudos there
ReplyDeleteThere are 2 things that my wife insists on for pretty much any special occasion. Brie cheese, and shrimp.
ReplyDeleteSounds good.
ReplyDeleteI'm working my way through season one of SHIELD...may finish that tonight.
I do like the Wakka Flaka Flame part though "Suck my dragon balls bitch call me Goku"
ReplyDeleteWhat does that make Triple H? That guy who got replaced by Ringo?
ReplyDeleteWhich illustrates one of the reasons I stay home.
ReplyDelete#BRIEMODE!
ReplyDeleteLeBron can actually opt out after this year. Even if things don't work out this year, he does not have the balls to leave again
ReplyDeleteSupermanWinsLOL.
ReplyDeletea ton of Chinese food has shrimp in it. The buffet here has some of the best fried shrimp I've had
ReplyDeleteToo many D's
ReplyDeleteLMK how it is. The lead female in the show is like how I viewed X-Pac in the 00s.
ReplyDeleteNo. That makes him Ringo.
ReplyDeleteHe's even got the nose!
http://cheezburger.com/8405993728
ReplyDeleteHoly shit.
And that Ebron would be overdrafted.
ReplyDeleteIt's like a soft 'th' sound (the, these, there, etc). You're luck there were no L's.
ReplyDeleteAnd Noah Vonleh too.
ReplyDeleteHeh heh.
ReplyDeleteNow that's damn funny.
ReplyDeletetook a tour of a cider mill in school once, I don't think anyone who took that tour would ever drink cider again.
ReplyDeletea "cider apple" is code for "too rotten and worm infested to sell whole"
"Take The Money and Run" is in my top ten movie list
ReplyDeleteSo the mass murder/suicide thing in Edmonton looks like it may be an Asian family. On a civilian level, I thought only white people killed on that scale.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's not just Superman. It's Batman rigging all of the armories of Apokolips with hellfire bombs. In JLU, Batman dodging the Omega Effect. In Final Crisis, using the Omega Sanction to transport Batman into the past (so he was accelerate forward in time like a temporal rail gun and destroy the present when he got back, it's a goofy idea). In some random other comic when Darkseid tripped on stairs. In Final Crisis when he's on Mary Marvel's couch (he actually does the couch thing a lot).
ReplyDeleteBad writing has hurt the character a lot. I don't know if the rebuild from post-Flashpoint has taken yet or not.
Was the kid doing poorly in school?
ReplyDeleteSpeaking about Darkseid, as much as Final Crisis is mess. Morrison did a damn good job on making Darkseid a threat again.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he has the balls to talk to his son about the proper way to treat women?
ReplyDeleteI've frequently heard that Aussies don't actually drink Fosters. Confirm our deny, Mr. Crikey!
ReplyDeleteExtra protein.
ReplyDeletePete Best? That's too much for Triple H.
ReplyDeletePete Best was supposedly the most handsome Beatle and a better drummer as well.
Name some of your favorite wrestling tournaments.
ReplyDeleteKing of the Ring 93 is up there with tears in my eyes.
The dude that killed all those people at Virginia Tech was Asian. Also, I now know that there are Asians in Canada.
ReplyDeleteFantastic!
ReplyDeleteSmackdown Tag Tourney from 2002 and New Japan G1 Climax from this year.
ReplyDeleteSo is the correct term for the HBK/HHH/Hall/Nash/Waltman group Kliq or Clique? I've heard and read both over the years and on the Monday Night Wars doc they use both spellings & pronunciations.
ReplyDeleteThis year's BOLA was phenomenal.
ReplyDelete"Power hungry douchebags."
ReplyDeleteMorrison stuff are hit or miss, but his DC stuff tends to be hits.
ReplyDeleteFinal Crisis came way too soon after Infinite Crisis. I vaguely remember the problem was Final Crisis was planned, but somehow Infinite Crisis got created and thrown in before Final Crisis could be released. So Morrison had to redo Final Crisis.
But which wrestler is Stu Sutcliffe?
ReplyDeleteKing of the Ring 95.
ReplyDeleteBecause of the absurdity.
I get the feeling Edge doesn't really like the WWE.
ReplyDeleteAllen Klein maybe.
ReplyDeleteKliq. WWE doesn't know their own history? Shocking.
ReplyDeleteSurvivor Series 98.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to ask this, knowing I may not want to know, but: "Why?"
ReplyDeleteRemember the Vietnamese guy who took on all the Wisconsin deer hunters 10 years or so ago.
ReplyDeleteJimmie Nicol, the guy who filled in for ringo when he had his tonsils out
ReplyDeleteWhere do you get that feeling from? As far as I can tell he's a huge fanboy.
ReplyDeleteEating shitty food and gonna try to convince the girlfriend to watch some wrestling with me.
ReplyDeleteBased off comments he makes here and there. Also his DVD.
ReplyDeleteElaborate.
ReplyDeleteI mean like the politics side of it.
ReplyDeleteAnd in further episodes of "Casual Racism", do the Canadian and Asian levels of politeness cancel out, or did the shooter point the gun at the relatives, tell them he/she was dreadfully sorry, then pull the trigger, bowing after each shot?
ReplyDeleteFinal Crisis was supposed to be that seven part series and that's it, but DC made that countdown thing. Morrison had to fix everything around that to make FC.
ReplyDelete*gives hugs* Happy now?
ReplyDeleteKing of the Ring '93, 1994 and '95 Super J Cups
ReplyDeleteThe more I think about it, the more I kind of feel like Triple H is more like Paul. He's good by himself, but Lennon is always put in front. Which brings up how he tried to put himself over Lennon after Lennon died, but everybody, including Yoko, destroyed him for that.
ReplyDeleteThe problem with this is admitting Triple H is on the level of Austin.
They way he talked about the higher ups in WWE makes me think he gives zero fucks about them and also he isn't afraid to speak his mind on WWE in interviews and on twitter.
ReplyDeleteI'm hosting at my house... maybe a dozen friends or so... good time to drop the engagement news on everyone and give Sara the reactions she's looking for.
ReplyDeleteVisit Vancouver some time.
ReplyDeleteThe Wrestling Classic, WM 4, KOTR 95, any WCW title tournament post-1998,...
ReplyDeleteOh wait, you said FAVORITE. My bad.
93 was awesome.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
ReplyDelete
