Figured we needed a thread for the evening.
The WWE 2014 TV year wraps up tonight with Main Event.
Georgia-Louisville and Maryland-Stanford are the evening's bowl games.
Assorted NBA and NHL action is also on tap.

Nothing like stressful deadlines to accelerate the graying process before you're 30
ReplyDeleteYou can't make this stuff up.

I'm almost rooting for this to happen, because at this point, you really DO have to start wondering whether that city is just plain cursed.
The Rock summed it up best: "No wonder Jim Thome left! LeBron James, don't get drafted by Cleveland!"
ReplyDeleteThe heat, the freaking heat!
ReplyDelete"Whether YA like it or YA don't it's the best thing going to gray!"
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't voted for the Blog Awards, you still have time! http://www.rspwfaq.net/2014/12/first-annual-blog-of-doom-yearly-awards.html
ReplyDeleteKnow what sounds great for dinner tonight? A goddamn burrito..
ReplyDeleteEmbrace it. You can be a sophisticated Silver Fox.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, 27 people have cast ballots so far, so that's a pretty decent participation rate.
ReplyDeleteSince you're running Id like to change my favorite poster to Mr. Satan #1 and then just move 1 to 2 and 2 to 3. I believe 1 was parallax and 2 was Bayless.
ReplyDeleteMan, if he leaves, his image will NEVER recover.
ReplyDeleteAbout a year ago my favorite burrito place closed down and I still haven't found a new place close to how good the old one was. Burritos were MASSIVE. Chicken Cabo Burrito with Guacamole. Rest soundly sweet burrito treat.
ReplyDeleteIt'll be fine when he's winning championships somewhere. His image is never going to get to where it was before he left the first time. He only needs to be concerned with winning. Going back to Cleveland was probably the worst career choice he ever made.
ReplyDeleteSurfing youtube and found old conan clips. Amy poehler as andy richter's sister makes me laugh.
ReplyDeleteClassic stuff. I used to love Conan as a teen. It was must see TV.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I remember staying up late during high school and watching it on my antenna TV that got like 4 channels
ReplyDeleteIt felt so edgy and new and fun. Pimp bot 5000. The masterbating bear. The banter between Conan and Andy. Conan and Max. It was awesome. Now I don't particularly care for the show at all. I've seen it live and it was very meh. Lost all that magic of my youth. Love the Sompsons episodes Conan was a part of as well. Conan will always be a legend to me, but I don't need to ever see his show again.
ReplyDeleteMy parents don't have league pass, and I just have the one on my tv. How the fuck can I watch Portland vs Toronto? da fuck
ReplyDeleteWhen it was over, I turned into Kayak Guy. THERES NO REASON TO LIVE!!! WHERES MY KAYAK?!?!
ReplyDeleteAre you asking us for advice on how to watch the Portland/Toronto game or are you confused that you are able to watch it?
ReplyDeleteHad one yesterday, getting one tomorrow. There's never a time where I'm like "nah, no burrito for me" if offered
ReplyDeleteCan't believe nba tv isn't doing a double header. ANyone going to watch this cavs game.
ReplyDeleteAll this AND the Walker Texas Ranger Lever
ReplyDeleteI feel like I'm on my way to being Tommy Lee Jones, looking 67 when Im 47 like in The Fugitive
ReplyDeleteHow long do you reckon Harbaugh stays at Michigan and away from the NFL? Hard to imagine him leaving his dream job but it also seems equally hard to imagine him staying away from the pros for too long.
ReplyDeleteI've gotta say my favorite is Conan at the 19th century baseball reenactment.
ReplyDeleteCall me crazy, but I don't love Chipotle burritos. Not nearly grimey enough and I don't care for the rice filler. I've only had them once about 10 years ago, but I made up my mind the. To never try them again.
ReplyDeleteJEEEEEEEZUS
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! I forgot about that one! Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI'll be watching Bulls vs Nets. Jimmy Buckets gonna hurt em.
ReplyDeleteTriumph at the Star Wars premiere for me
ReplyDeleteI loved that segment.
ReplyDeleteThis one's for you Nell!
I think Chipotle sucks. Hate the rice and I agree with "not grimey enough" it's all too neat. The ingredients are all organized and whatever and when I bite into it and I can always taste the separation in the ingredients. They don't come together into one piece of heaven.
ReplyDeleteA great burrito just needs to mesh together. The rice, the beans, the meat, the tortilla itself all in a perfect union.
I DIDN'T KILL MY WIFE!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm pissed its not on NBA TV. And i'm pissed my tv league pass doesn't just translate over to the internet. I don't want to watch some wonky stream of it
ReplyDeleteI had it yesterday, it's fine as a spot start burrito, but there a taco truck stationed near my work every Wed that's awesome and all the bullpen editors go down there at noon
ReplyDeleteI'd say at least 5 years. If he wins a national title there then I can see him going back to the NFL. He may just stay there the rest of his career, though.
ReplyDeleteBam bam should be in the hall of fame.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with everything you said.
ReplyDeleteEveryone forgets he main evented a WrestleMania.
ReplyDeleteBut who inducts him and who accepts on his behalf?
ReplyDeleteDoes he have any kids?
ReplyDeleteLawrence Taylor!....Well, that whole sex sting thing may make that a bad idea....
ReplyDeleteSeems to burn out his teams after four years so I'll say four, but he'll leave them a ten win squad
ReplyDeleteQuitting smoking is the hardest thing I've ever tried to do.
ReplyDeleteI'd love a cracked out LT inducting a guy when he doesn't even probably remember the match. Just slurring his words sounding consist and sad.
ReplyDeleteI imagine its as hard as telling me to quit gaming or masturbating, or masturbating while I game
ReplyDeleteI don't care!
ReplyDelete*dives*
MY GLASSES!
It's amazing how he's gone from one of the worst shooting perimeter guys in the game to one of the best in just one offseason. He's gonna be the East's version of Kawhi Leonard
ReplyDeleteBuzzfeed has a nice top 15 matches of WWE 2014, discuss. http://www.buzzfeed.com/norbertobriceno/thisisawesome#.bwRgZJAxP
ReplyDeleteDriving drunk through a border patrol check point without getting pulled over was the hardest thing I ever had to do. Took a lot of focus.
ReplyDeleteYou're a champ.
ReplyDeleteIs Cold Turkey the best way to quit? The other options seem way too expensive for such a marginal success rate.
ReplyDeleteCold Turkey is the only way to go. I did it 9 years ago.
ReplyDeleteHow long did you smoke (years and packs)?
ReplyDeleteHe turned down the contract offer in the off season and really dedicated himself. No tv or Internet all off season. Just training. It's remarkabke what he's done. He's a joy to watch out there. JBG! JIMMY BUCKETS! The G is for GET MORE BUCKETS!!!
ReplyDeleteI love Stacey King calling Bulls games.
Giantbomb game of the year podcast day five was a great listen.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite phrases is "Fuck this, I'm getting a burrito."
ReplyDeleteIt's still weird to me that Sly Stallone inducted Hogan.
ReplyDeleteFrom 16-24. A few packs a week. The last year or so I was down to a few cigarettes a day
ReplyDeleteI smoked on and off from 13 to 27. Never got up to a pack a day or anything, but I would have my bad weekends and go through a couple. I quit cold turkey out of spite. I was told I couldnt. I had already been thinking of quitting and that put me over the edge. That being said IC im at a party and people are smoking I will bum the occasional smoke, but I never buy my own packs and I never just smoke at home or in the car or alone.
ReplyDeletemy friend who is WWE crazy - action figures, gots the network, thousands of dvds - wrote the following on FB : "Well after tonight I can officially say after 20+ years of watching I am now a FORMER WWE fan. Might still relive some of the glory days on the network but otherwise I'm done. #WWESucks" i think something happened i dont know about
ReplyDeleteOomph. There's nowhere decent to get Mexican where I live , so I never developed the affinity for it. Now Chinese on the other hand? 24/7, 365
ReplyDeletePatches. They cost less per day than actually buying a pack a day. I'll be using them starting Jan 1. I quit for three years once and had success with them.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he was upset Daniel Bryan didn't retire.
ReplyDeleteProbably upset with the Usos title win. I wasn't happy about it either.
ReplyDeleteRocky 3 man! Rocky 3.
ReplyDeleteDone that, it was easy.
ReplyDeleteI have never met anyone that was successful through any other means.
ReplyDeleteGood for him. If only more of us would do that, maybe things would change.
ReplyDeleteHow the heck did Suh's suspension get overturned? So you can stomp on a guys legs and not get suspended, but you smoke weed and you're out 10 games?
ReplyDeleteDepends on what you are quitting.
ReplyDeleteWell hey, if we don't go to shows, buy merchandise, or get the Network, this company will be hurting enough.
ReplyDeleteWatching the first X Men on some movie channel and my family is making so much noise in the background, Holy shit. Think I'm gonna watch Summerslam 2012 later on when the coast is clear. I went to the show live but have never actually seen the broadcast.
ReplyDeleteGary Bettman now does disciplinary actions for the NFL in his spare time, it seems.
ReplyDeleteThe Torito/Hornswoggle match is even more galling in retrospect, not just because of how many guys were taking career-threatening bumps for a comedy match, but also for poor Drew McIntyre, who was completely busting his ass and taking a lot of unnecessary risks, only to wind up with a pink slip days later. Life really isn't fair sometimes.
ReplyDeleteCompletely ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteIt's all about $$$ and ratings.
ReplyDeleteApparently domestic abuse was ok at one point as well.
ReplyDeleteYou wouldn't believe the weird looks me and my brother got driving through the Hood blaring the Sherlock theme song.
ReplyDeleteThey're telling stories!
ReplyDeleteMy uncle swears by some sort of therapy where they shot lasers up his nose. He hasn't smoked in like ten years. I've never heard of anyone else doing this.
ReplyDeleteNothing beats blaring random music in places or situations where it doesn't apply.
ReplyDeleteI do agree, but as a hardcore Lion fan I'm overjoyed
ReplyDeleteIn years gone by, I could tell you the location and main event for the big five. Now, I'm clueless. I'm guessing it was in Los Angeles.
ReplyDeleteMass murder/suicide in Edmonton. Nine dead, 2 of them children. Damn.
ReplyDeleteGoodell is trolling Jerry Jones.
ReplyDeleteCowboys still gonna roll them. Typical Lions. Good gravy did they look like shit vs the Bears.
ReplyDeleteGood lord.
ReplyDeleteFuck.
ReplyDeletewas it in a gun-free zone?
ReplyDeleteYup at staples.
ReplyDeleteLasers are the answer to pretty much everything!
ReplyDeleteI'm expecting a loss, but of course I want the best DT in football on the field for us, especially against that offense
ReplyDeleteOne last time.
ReplyDeleteOh man. I haven't had Chinese in forever. Now I know what will be tomorrow's dinner.
ReplyDeleteI love blasting The Bloodhound Gang in bad neighbourhoods. Or playing them on the jukebox in the bar.
ReplyDeleteDiabolical.
ReplyDeleteIt was very enjoyable to watch. Yea it was a comedy match but it was by far the best comedy segment WWE had done since Team Hell No broke up. And Torito and Hornswoggle have something decent to sure to their grand kids someday. At least Drew is the DGUSA champion, I bet he'll go to NJPW in time and do fine for himself.
ReplyDeleteHe couldn't bear to see Ryback humanized?
ReplyDeleteI'm watching this week's ROH TV, Kendrick vs Cole and Tag Wars 2014...how does this show get overlooked so often in the best wrestling show discussion?
ReplyDeleteI'm empathetic with your stress at your job that nearly all of us would kill to have.
ReplyDeleteI almost never eat Chinese food, but it's a New Year's Eve tradition.
ReplyDelete"Sometimes we would use Vince's office." -Sunny in regards to her and Shawn.
ReplyDeleteJesus Christ, WWE in the '90s was a fucking circus.
So they're running Charlotte vs Sasha Banks on Main Event.
ReplyDeleteWanna bet that it won't be as good?
Sounds like a fun place to work.
ReplyDeleteKendrick is a slacker.
ReplyDeleteAre they legitimate votes?
ReplyDeleteI still remember a group of guys driving down South Street and blasting the Chicken Dance.
ReplyDeleteWhat would it have been like to be Vince's errand boy or gopher, and running into all sorts of situations backstage.
ReplyDelete14 years 2 packs a day. Cold turkey and never looked back.
ReplyDeletePeople love to hate ROH. Is it available online? I know I don't get it on TV where I am.
ReplyDeleteFive minutes tops, and Charlotte wrestles the match likes she's Ric Flair.
ReplyDeleteBut it's Tammy, so it's a lie. :(
ReplyDeleteMy step-kid likes to blast hip hop when I'm driving him around. So when we pull up to a light, and that shit is loud, people look over and see the whitest of whiteys behind the wheel.
ReplyDeleteYou had the five minutes right.
ReplyDeleteSo basically, according to Titan Sinking, Chris Candido was the 90's version of John Morrison in regards to his relationships.
ReplyDeleteThat's not very gangsta.
ReplyDeleteSunny gave her ass to everyone, she gave it to Ahmed for some cocaine once.
ReplyDeleteThe idiots at he Georgia-Louisville game are analysing Jim Harbaugh's intro speech at Michigan, and all seem to be in agreement that it's a good thing he didn't give his opponents any bulletin board material. Yeah, wouldn't want him to say something that'd have next years big 10 prospects fired up for the next 9 months.
ReplyDeletejohn morrison wow i remember him. he was fun
ReplyDeleteHmm. Two guys that I never cared for much.
ReplyDeleteSeems worse than jomo's situation.
ReplyDeleteI'm the anti-gangsta. I think it's all garbage now. Luckily for me, when it's playing, I can tune it out.
ReplyDeleteIf you had ended up in a flaming wreckage, I wouldn't have felt bad. In fact, I would laugh. No offense, but I put drunk drivers in the same category as rapists and child molesters.
ReplyDeleteThat's by far my favorite Sunny story, if true.
ReplyDeleteI think more people hooked up with Sunny than did Melina, but from the rumors, Sunny wasn't very discerning...
ReplyDeleteIt is. If you sign up as a Ringside Member ($7.50/mo) you get access to the newest episode, the entire archive and a bunch of old shows. But you can also watch the last week's episode for free. Subscribed this month and have been poking around, they put some fantastic matches on TV.
ReplyDeleteMelina was with Kendrick, London and Batista. Sunny got a taste of 90 percent of the locker room.
ReplyDeleteI really doubt that one is true.
ReplyDeleteLethal/ACH I & II.
ReplyDeleteEhhhh. I won't give WWE my 9.99. I'm not ready to give ROB 7.50.
ReplyDeleteBam Bam and Miz have a lot in common.
ReplyDeleteSunny only drank alcohol. Nothing else. She was a good girl. Really.
ReplyDeleteMan, that's some good whoring.
ReplyDeleteYes! First two matches that came to mind.
ReplyDeleteI'm more convinced than ever that King is the problem, JBL/Cole/Booker are much better on Main Event
ReplyDeleteI put pension stealing white collar crooks in the same bracket as the dudes you just mentioned.
ReplyDeleteToo bad about Candido, really. Dying and all.
ReplyDeleteSo when Sunny got slopped by the Godwinns, there was a lot of the locker room in there.
ReplyDeleteAJ/ O'reilly.
ReplyDeleteROH had a decent just needs to pick a better guy as a world champ.
I just have a really hard time not hating Cole.
ReplyDeleteWhy is everybody tripping about him not calling OSU and MSU out and going off?? They aren't doing anything impactful til atleast 3 yrs from now
ReplyDeleteMakes sense, but if you're ever interested, even if you just checkout the free episode you're bound to see something good.
ReplyDeleteHey, the Kliq was crapping in gym bags before Randy Orton!
ReplyDeleteProbably just because it's Main Event and nobody cares.
ReplyDeleteThey also invaded funerals.
ReplyDeleteSo is New Year's Eve a big time deal for anyone here? I can't remember the last time I went anywhere on New Year's. Taking your old calendar and replacing it with a new calendar seems to make people think that it solves all your problems.
ReplyDeleteHe was on Joey Ryan's Youtube show, total douchebag. Good for Batista
ReplyDeleteMy grandparents, great Aunt, sister, and nephews are coming over tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteAnd he was in such good shape!
ReplyDeleteI always partied pretty well pre-kid. Now it's Chinese food, a motion picture, and in bed by 10 after 12.
ReplyDeleteBatista is also a douche, so it's not like he's a angel.
ReplyDeleteWWE commercial on Hulu+ "I'm not a wrestling fan, I'm a WWE fan."
ReplyDeleteSounds about right.
"A motion picture" -Mister E Mahn circa 1923.
ReplyDeleteCracks me up.
That feel when you find an ideal job listing but the shitty website crashes every time you submit an application.
ReplyDeleteNew Years is the mrs and I'd anniversary. 8 years this year. Time flies.
ReplyDeleteBecause being "classy" is the big thing nowadays. Can't be a real winner unless you're CLASSY and you act like you've been there before.
ReplyDeleteBig deal for me, usually my family does a big barbecue.
ReplyDeleteNo. Driving around to parties or whatever late at night with lots of people drinking, I'd rather not.
ReplyDeleteI'm going out for the first time ever on New Year's, then again, I just turned 21.
ReplyDeleteo yea its rite up there with st. patrick's day and christmas and thanksgiving and the superbowl with great drinkin nights :)
ReplyDeleteWell then, you have a good reason.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell, lol
ReplyDeleteI'm in bed by 12 after 10... GF wanted to invite people over for tomorrow night, but it doesn't look like anyone is taking the bait for some floutas. I can be in bed early again.
ReplyDeleteI haven't gone out for New Year's Eve in over a decade. Tomorrow is a normal work day, normal dinner, then the Simpsons marathon through New Year's night. No big whoop.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Ryback and "The Secret", that is the Universe telling you not to apply.
ReplyDeletePossible Cult-related?
ReplyDeleteI keep hearing about that one, will have to check it out. Cole vs Hero was pretty solid also.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I still don't get why they put the belt back on Briscoe. If the HAD to get it off Elgin, they should have just gone with Ciampa.
Jeez, Vince, usually people hire somebody to write their ad copy for them.
ReplyDeleteA friend invited me to a party at her place, but I have to work early New Year's Day.
ReplyDeleteI don't even live in the hood, but I'd give you a weird look too. It's not common you hear the Sherlock theme everyday.
ReplyDeleteLast time I went out was two years ago and I got really drunk and wandered around downtown Cleveland for three hours lost because I didn't have my wits. Still get scared about that night. Tomorrow I'll be watching old PPVs on the network with a buddy while slugging Miller Lites.
ReplyDeleteand the best part is huggin and kissin all the ladies @ midnight
ReplyDeleteI hate that I have a one-day holiday in the middle of a work week. Back to work on Friday after one day off.
ReplyDeleteThe WWE Universe is not the job-applying type, typically.
ReplyDeleteThey clearly don't know what to do with Tommaso after he lost the TV title.
ReplyDeleteA regular Cactus Jack.
ReplyDeleteBecause you can't prove he meant to step on Rodgers' legs. Before you bring up his reputation, that's irrelevant here.
ReplyDeleteExcept Bret, allegedly. But I think if Bret nailed Sunny he would've said so in his book.
ReplyDeleteHahahahah, pretty good sir.
ReplyDeleteI'll probably spend it watching a best of 2014 on the Network.
ReplyDeleteReminds me when I was looking for a job, and knowing which ones were likely filler after working at the local newspaper, which is like 90%. Ah, life in Buffalo.
ReplyDeleteWrestlers were crapping in bags before any of us were born!
ReplyDeleteNah. It doesn't paint him in a positive enough light.
ReplyDeleteYikes. We just closed for the Friday. It's a day off at no cost in vaca days.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you do it. I haven't had a drop to drink since 2001 after bender that featured a dozen screwdrivers.
ReplyDeleteOh, and bowl games. Can't forget those.
ReplyDeleteI went cold turkey for about a year, but now that I'm going to social gatherings more, I'm getting the urge to at least pick it up socially.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the big green egg... those are no joke.
ReplyDeleteThe State of Texas don't play like that.
ReplyDeleteLook at this playa!
ReplyDeleteWhich sucks because he won that title like Ultimate Warrior squashing the Honkytonk Man. He looked like the next world champ but lost momentum once Lethal nabbed the TV title. How do you get lost in the shuffle when there are so few cards in the deck?
ReplyDeleteCandido honestly believed that Davey Boy never cheated on Diana, because she knew a hold that was really painful and she used it on him once.
ReplyDeleteSo those broomsticks just magically appeared in her bum, and those drinks just roofied themselves.
Well adultery and marital rape are two different things....
ReplyDeleteI've never stepped backwards onto something that wasn't supposed to be grass and then decide to take another step backwards onto it while I feel a push from someone on the ground.
ReplyDeleteTrue, but I'd like to think that after something like that... she'd use the move on him?
ReplyDeleteHeheh you said bum.
ReplyDeleteI believe it. He would have to deal with Stu Hart & eight of her brothers. No thank you.
ReplyDeleteHe should've won SOTF, murdered Briscoe and have a monster champion, it's been awhile since Morishima.
ReplyDelete
