I've had the Nightman theme stuck in my head all day. No not Always Sunny Nightman, Nightman as in that syndicated superhero show that came on after Hercules and Xena, where he was a San Francisco jazz musician by day, evil-thoughts-hearing caped crusader by night. Val Venis would be proud of the sax work in this theme; Duke Silver too.
I think if he doesn't fail that drug test it definitely doesn't take him until Armageddon to win the title. I bet they'd also have more faith in him to be the guy and hold it for longer than a month before losing it to Edge.
I'm watching the Cubs convention opening ceremony and CM Punk throwing his cap into the crowd after the 7th Inning Stretch got the end shot in the video montage that highlighted last season.
Re Watching WM VIII for the first time in about 5 years and for how much love Heenan Rightfully gets for RR 92 he is on fire here, easily my favourite commentary of any wrestling event.
It really does feel like there's less crowd interaction in general in the last few years. Is it just me thinking that? Even just playing to the crowd in general feels like a rarity.
Of course I can. I did. Pay attention. It *is* a poison. If imbibed in reasonable amounts, it can also be a lot of fun.
I mean, if you want to avoid partaking in booze, more power to you. But, there are many things worse than drinking alcohol in moderation. Being a Cowboys fan comes to mind.
Had a pregnancy scare today. Girlfriend's been sick lately, throwing up often and not being able to keep anything down. Some people at work (we work together) joked she was pregnant.
There is *always* a need to slam the Cowboys. I don't even dislike 'em that much. But, you know. America's Team? No roof on the old stadium so god could look down on the team?
Last night's episode of WWE SmackDown on its new night averaged 2.675 million viewers. Viewership was up 10% from last week's episode on Friday night, which averaged 2.432 million viewers.
SmackDown was also the number one show on cable last night
It's the first night in a new timeslot which has received far more promotion than a normal smackdown. I am a fan of Bryan but without seeing how Smackdown draws in this timeslot normally we can't say if this is a good, bad or average number.
Our female pit bull is named Lola. Her nickname is Puppy Cow, because she once climbed into my wife's lap, causing her to exlaim, "Get off me you big cow!" The name stuck.
Challenge: Take ALL of WWF/WWE's past corporate catchphrases and put them all together in one sentence. Off the top of my head, these include:
-What the world is watching! -Unbelievable! -Anything can happen in the WWF! -Only $9.99! (It pains me to add this, but it's true.) -Ruthless aggression! -Get it?
In the past, there has been a chipmunk or two that have tormented her by sitting on the back porch. She made the oddest noises, seeing that critter through the glass door. Kinda like a crazy, psychotic chicken.
Unbelievably for only 9.99 you can see what the World is watching and if you don't show the Ruthless Aggression needed you can just get the F out now, then and forever after all anything can happen in the WWE. Get it?
I'm not very good at multitasking. When comments are coming regularly, I can't really focus on TV. During Raw, that's not bad, cause I can just shut out the announcers and still get the gyst of the match. I can't seem to BoD and watch an actual program that requires my attention though.
Just watched NXT, wife coming home soon, then hot tub, dinner, and standup show with an awesome couple we just met at a club. I've been here for 6 months now and the southern California life is the life for me.
Tomorrow night I get 'time off' because all my usual weekend partners are busy with others. Probably going to watch that New Japan card from a couple weeks ago. As the Rumble approaches my interest in pro-wrestling increases.
This is basically the holiday season for wrestling. Rumble is Thanksgiving, 'Mania is Christmas... the February PPV is one of the Jewish holidays or something.
It's got the double meaning. But the Adrian Adonis connection is obviously #1. And then if she ever digs up flowers you've got your Flowers by Irene reference covered.
From 411mania WWE has announced more legends for Monday’s Raw Reuniion show in addition to Kevin Nash, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash. The New Age Outlaws, Jimmy Hart, and Ron Simmons will all appear on the show.
I can't be the only person hoping that during the show they set up a match between Simmons/JBL & Ascension at the Rumble.
Sorry for bringing the bad vibes earlier everyone. I'm back on my meds and I just want to let you all know that going forward I choose to take the high road. Thanks everyone for your support.
One way or the other, they need to for any type of sense. Either end the Ascension and get a nostalgia pop for APA, or let them murderlise the APA and stop shitting on them during matches.
I heard this is really Willow and Zero Cool or whatever the fuck that idiot called himself in those bad old videos where he was pumped because he could sew.
I liked it at the time because the Hardys hadn't tagged in about 5 years at that point. And Jeff www fresh off returning. In hindsight it isn't exciting but at the time Jeff coming back and tagging with Matt was awesome.
I figured somebody else would give you props. For what it's worth, I thought it was quite the out of the box reference and I've never been greeted in such a quality way. But I cannot claim to be a fan of Chris so I guess you got your wires crossed.
I can't believe I got no lol's at that exchange with Meekin where I pretended I couldn't tell the difference between George C. Scott and Brando. Six minutes of brilliance just wasted on you people.
Hawks/Raptors should be good as well as Blazers/Spurs.
ReplyDeleteI'm stoked for tonight's games; THE RETURN OF SUGAR K!
ReplyDeleteSurprise garlic bread!

Question: If Jeff Hardy doesn't fail the drug test, does he win Money in the Bank at WM24?
ReplyDeleteSafe bet.
ReplyDeleteHe was on fire from RR08 to when he got fired.
ReplyDeleteThey sure do make a lot of shows.
ReplyDeleteI think if he doesn't fail that drug test it definitely doesn't take him until Armageddon to win the title. I bet they'd also have more faith in him to be the guy and hold it for longer than a month before losing it to Edge.
ReplyDelete"The Invitations" is on TBS!
ReplyDeleteThis is an FX show.
ReplyDeleteI was never a Jeff Hardy fan but I really thought they blew it at Royal Rumble 2008.
ReplyDeleteIt was the only real misfire of that whole year.
ReplyDeleteBefore bryan, he was the last guy the fans pushed to the title. When he came back, he was jobbing but still really popular that he got pushed.
ReplyDeleteWe also don't get Punk's botched first run with the title.
ReplyDeleteI loved Jeff's celebration when he won.
ReplyDeleteI'm watching the Cubs convention opening ceremony and CM Punk throwing his cap into the crowd after the 7th Inning Stretch got the end shot in the video montage that highlighted last season.
ReplyDeleteFudge yeah! I got a puppy, I got a fifth of Wild Turkey, some weed, a new avatar. I'm ready to get Thompson all over Rumble 07
ReplyDeleteNeeds ice cream.
ReplyDeleteIce cream is kind of the grossest thing in the world though.
ReplyDeletelmao
ReplyDeleteMarv. I like you. I really do.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't mean I won't fucking kill you.
Dairy and acute alcoholism just don't play well together, that's all. Lots of food I can't eat because of my career choice.
ReplyDeleteDude. Ice cream > booze. Every time.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of puppy? And does said puppy have a name yet?
ReplyDeleteAnything>Booze
ReplyDeleteIt means I'm better. That's for Parallax.
Hoss is a good name.
ReplyDelete"The only way he could bang regular chicks is with a kryptonite condom. And that would kill him."
ReplyDeleteIt is a good name. Muggy O'Hosserson.
ReplyDeleteUh. No.
ReplyDeleteBooze > being tortured, for example.
I think a retriever sort of mix? I'm not really sure. She's cute though.
ReplyDeleteNo name yet, I came home to a dog boarded up in my kitchen and a note saying "I may have made a mistake, love you, Edna" lol
So I guess I should fake mad so I get naming rights, that seems like the clear route here.
Re Watching WM VIII for the first time in about 5 years and for how much love Heenan Rightfully gets for RR 92 he is on fire here, easily my favourite commentary of any wrestling event.
ReplyDeleteArt is a great name too. It reeks of nobility.
ReplyDeleteAt 2:15
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wGqFWR3XxE
We need more like this.
Zero times. Ice cream's not great, sugar in general isn't great.
ReplyDeleteHardy is another guy like Punk in that I don't understand how they got through the bullshit and were able to Main Event.
ReplyDeleteBooze is a form of torture.
ReplyDeleteFemale?
ReplyDeleteHossefina. Clearly.
I'd suggest Paul Thomas Doggerson.
ReplyDeleteOh. Shit.
ReplyDeleteIt's really the only route to take. Assert dominance over the pride, Marv.
ReplyDeleteNow it's female so we'll have to abbreviate to PT. otherwise I think we may have something here.
ReplyDeleteEvery. Time. And, alcohol is technically a poison, you know.
ReplyDeleteNot if done properly.
ReplyDeleteBoredom's poison, yes.
ReplyDeleteDoggergirl?
ReplyDeleteYou can't say it's not torture while also equating it to poison. Pick a side.
ReplyDeleteIt really does feel like there's less crowd interaction in general in the last few years. Is it just me thinking that? Even just playing to the crowd in general feels like a rarity.
ReplyDeletePT Doggergirl. That's the one to beat.
ReplyDelete**agress with Hoss, extends hand for a firm handshake**
ReplyDeleteNobody ever heard of Rocky Road or moose tracks booze.
Of course I can. I did. Pay attention. It *is* a poison. If imbibed in reasonable amounts, it can also be a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteI mean, if you want to avoid partaking in booze, more power to you. But, there are many things worse than drinking alcohol in moderation. Being a Cowboys fan comes to mind.
I don't think there are any points in Heenan's WWF run that anyone could call bad. He was just so amazing.
ReplyDelete:: handshake ::
ReplyDeleteClearly, a man of taste and integrity.
Shame she isn't a boy really, Calibark is right there
ReplyDeleteHad a pregnancy scare today. Girlfriend's been sick lately, throwing up often and not being able to keep anything down. Some people at work (we work together) joked she was pregnant.
ReplyDeleteShe took two tests tonight.
Not pregnant.
PHEW.
Hey no need to drive by on Bobby. It's been a rough week for him as a Cowboy fan.
ReplyDeleteThoughts on my fantasy rebook? http://www.rspwfaq.net/2015/01/wrestlemania.html#comment-1796335518
ReplyDeleteWent through this same shit a few weeks ago, basically going to bag it until after the wedding lol
ReplyDeleteWhat? Not pregnant?
ReplyDeleteAw, shucks.
:: puts away coathanger ::
:: kicks can ::
Dude. No.
ReplyDeleteMelora Doggers?
ReplyDeleteWhat? I am a certified Hoss abortionist.
ReplyDeleteNeeds to rhyme easy, I like singing to my dog
ReplyDeleteI've been there multiple times. Scary as shit.
ReplyDeleteCongrats.
ReplyDeleteYou'll forgive me if I don't think abortion is funny. Especially while I celebrate the abortion clinic in my old province being re-opened today.
ReplyDeleteThere is *always* a need to slam the Cowboys. I don't even dislike 'em that much. But, you know. America's Team? No roof on the old stadium so god could look down on the team?
ReplyDeleteOh, fuck off.
Fine, fine. Good taste can prevail. This time.
ReplyDeleteMy apologies.
Hossafina...you da queen-a....
ReplyDeletehossfina you so fine, you so fine you blow my mind....
Thanks. Appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteAnd, congrats on lack of baby. I have no desire to ever reproduce.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, and I could say Hoss-a-fine-a, rhymes with vagina...
ReplyDeleteYou're a serious contender here my man.
Just set Snitsky on her, it'll all be fine.
ReplyDeleteBryan draws!
ReplyDeleteLast night's episode of WWE SmackDown on its new night averaged 2.675 million viewers. Viewership was up 10% from last week's episode on Friday night, which averaged 2.432 million viewers.

I would consider it a great honor to be the namesake of a dog.
ReplyDeleteHoss likes dogs.
Which, you know. Is why we have 5.
Thank. Fucking. God.
ReplyDeleteTitle now, please and thank you.
Pick Orange. Everything rhymes with orange.
ReplyDeletePreferably, from Brock.
ReplyDeleteAnything exciting happen?
ReplyDeleteUh. I'm confused. You're saying it, so I'm looking for the TNA connection.
ReplyDeleteIf that match doesn't happen they are stone cold fucking retarded up there in Connecticut, it's the most obvious main event ever.
ReplyDeleteYou would never share the ice cream.
ReplyDeleteIt's the first night in a new timeslot which has received far more promotion than a normal smackdown.
ReplyDeleteI am a fan of Bryan but without seeing how Smackdown draws in this timeslot normally we can't say if this is a good, bad or average number.
Damn right. Even the wife understands all ice cream in the house is legally mine. She has the good sense to get flavors I don't really like.
ReplyDeleteWell. I think we can say that's true whether we get the match or not.
ReplyDeletePhilip Seymour Roffman, this mutt really needs a penis, I've got nothing for girl names
ReplyDeleteIt's really hard to brush a hair off of an iPad without just jumping around all over
ReplyDeleteStephanie mcmutt.
ReplyDeleteI hate using my phone in the rain, one drop of a water on that screen and you can kiss texting goodbye
ReplyDeleteOur female pit bull is named Lola. Her nickname is Puppy Cow, because she once climbed into my wife's lap, causing her to exlaim, "Get off me you big cow!" The name stuck.
ReplyDeleteKevin Kline kinda, South Carolina!
ReplyDeleteI love really old names, this dog seems like a Gretchen to me but nothing's fixed yet.
ReplyDeleteGertie
ReplyDeleteMabel.
ReplyDeleteMabel Cresto.
Just name her after a badass female.
ReplyDeleteMy suggestion? Ripley.
Challenge: Take ALL of WWF/WWE's past corporate catchphrases and put them all together in one sentence. Off the top of my head, these include:
ReplyDelete-What the world is watching!
-Unbelievable!
-Anything can happen in the WWF!
-Only $9.99! (It pains me to add this, but it's true.)
-Ruthless aggression!
-Get it?
I feel like there's some I'm missing.
Tessmacher.
ReplyDeleteOh, wait. Not what you meant.
Carry on.
Our pit bull is named LooLoo and she is the cutest, yet clumsiest dog ever. She can't hunt a bug to save her life.
ReplyDeleteJett. After Joan.
ReplyDeleteGet the F Out
ReplyDeleteheh.
ReplyDeleteIn the past, there has been a chipmunk or two that have tormented her by sitting on the back porch. She made the oddest noises, seeing that critter through the glass door. Kinda like a crazy, psychotic chicken.
Lisa. Lisa the dog.
ReplyDeleteNow. Then. Forever.
ReplyDelete"Gelato? What is this dago shit"
ReplyDeleteYup. Add that, too.
ReplyDeleteAnd that.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievably for only 9.99 you can see what the World is watching and if you don't show the Ruthless Aggression needed you can just get the F out now, then and forever after all anything can happen in the WWE. Get it?
ReplyDeleteWell, Rumble 07 here I go, this has to be better than 06 at least right?
ReplyDeleteI'm not very good at multitasking. When comments are coming regularly, I can't really focus on TV. During Raw, that's not bad, cause I can just shut out the announcers and still get the gyst of the match. I can't seem to BoD and watch an actual program that requires my attention though.
ReplyDeleteStay off my lawn.
Rumble '07 is 'Taker right?
ReplyDeleteok, no more comments
ReplyDelete¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ReplyDeleteactually, I'm good with gelato. Had some today. Milk chocolate and coconut. Ate them together. Yum.
ReplyDeleteJust watched NXT, wife coming home soon, then hot tub, dinner, and standup show with an awesome couple we just met at a club. I've been here for 6 months now and the southern California life is the life for me.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow night I get 'time off' because all my usual weekend partners are busy with others. Probably going to watch that New Japan card from a couple weeks ago. As the Rumble approaches my interest in pro-wrestling increases.
I find great success in leaning back with the laptop on my lap, and the TV in the distance just over the screen, zero movement required to watch both
ReplyDeleteLOL Well, from me, anyway. I think I'm going to focus on JUstified Season 5 here shortly.
ReplyDeleteNot bad, not bad.
ReplyDeleteName her Irene. That way when its bedtime you can say Goodnight Irene and fulfill the dream of all wrestling fans of feeling like Adrian Adonis.
ReplyDeleteI've actually been thinking A LOT about Irene because of the Sherlock connection.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but I can't do that and pay sufficient attention to the dialogue; not once I have to read and post comments.
ReplyDeleteYet, I can sing and play guitar at the same time. Go figure.
This is basically the holiday season for wrestling. Rumble is Thanksgiving, 'Mania is Christmas... the February PPV is one of the Jewish holidays or something.
ReplyDeleteThis never, ever gets old.
ReplyDeleteIt truly does not lol.
ReplyDeleteI'm Jewish and I approve this joke.
ReplyDeleteInstruments are impossible. My brain just doesn't work like tat.
ReplyDeleteRaw after mania is Boxing day.
ReplyDeleteI really wasn't even trying to make a joke I just couldn't come up with a good analogy.
ReplyDeleteI can remember a time when playing and singing at the same time was difficult. Just worked at it, I guess.
ReplyDeleteIt's got the double meaning. But the Adrian Adonis connection is obviously #1. And then if she ever digs up flowers you've got your Flowers by Irene reference covered.
ReplyDeleteYou could just go John Wayne from Big Jake and call her Dog.
ReplyDeleteTook fucking years, still quite a few songs I can't do both for.
ReplyDeleteFrom 411mania
ReplyDeleteWWE has announced more legends for Monday’s Raw Reuniion show in addition to Kevin Nash, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash. The New Age Outlaws, Jimmy Hart, and Ron Simmons will all appear on the show.
I can't be the only person hoping that during the show they set up a match between Simmons/JBL & Ascension at the Rumble.
Jesus, Irene it is lol
ReplyDeletei can't come up with anything, but I don't currently play many covers.
ReplyDeleteDoes that make the RAW after 'Mania Valentines Day? Because it always feels like Fan Appreciation Night.
ReplyDeleteYes you can.
ReplyDeleteThe Ascension should just beat the piss out of the retired wrestler talking shit about them.
ReplyDeleteDAMN.
ReplyDeleteI'd really prefer not to seem them job to The Ascension.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been in a band in a long time so it's really all I do if I'm not just sitting around practicing as a mental exercise.
ReplyDeleteI think they should set up a match between Ascension and a wood chipper personally
ReplyDeleteSorry for bringing the bad vibes earlier everyone. I'm back on my meds and I just want to let you all know that going forward I choose to take the high road. Thanks everyone for your support.
ReplyDeleteWell DAMN. I was hoping we would get something besides the same old "legends".
ReplyDeleteOne way or the other, they need to for any type of sense. Either end the Ascension and get a nostalgia pop for APA, or let them murderlise the APA and stop shitting on them during matches.
ReplyDeleteGet the F out?
ReplyDeleteUgh don't fuck up my Rumble with this.
ReplyDeleteI can see JBL purposely not selling/stiffing one of them.
ReplyDeleteWhy does that guy have a waffle head in your avatar?
ReplyDeleteYou finally starting 07 Rumble?
ReplyDeleteIt's a globe.
ReplyDeleteWatching the Hardy Menz and MNM right now
ReplyDeleteCause he was out of pancakes?
ReplyDeleteOnly if they give them the Public Enemy treatment and just beat them to a pulp.
ReplyDeleteWhen did they grow up into men!?
ReplyDeleteOr, not MNM...whatever they called Morrison and Mercury
ReplyDeleteIs that post-gruesome face injury to Mercury?
ReplyDeleteIt's a shameful thing Waffle head
ReplyDeleteYeah, just a couple weeks after
ReplyDeleteYou were right. MNM.
ReplyDeleteThat was fucking gross. Just a blood explosion.
ReplyDeleteOk cool, I couldn't remember if maybe that's what they called Miz and Morrizon
ReplyDeleteArthur! I'm glad you are here... I was afraid you got caught between the moon and New York City. I know it's crazy, but its true.
ReplyDelete- The Revolutionary Force in Sports Entertainment
ReplyDelete- WHATAMANEUVER!
Brutal. He's a tough bastard taking that shot to the face.
ReplyDeleteThey were....just Miz and Morrison I think lol. They had a show called the Dirt Sheet.
ReplyDeleteI know. No wonder he ended up with a pill problem.
ReplyDeleteLove the Hunter S. Thompson avatar
ReplyDeleteThe Hardy Menz in 2007...without Lita...blech
ReplyDeletePill problem? No you got the wrong guy. He was in Punk's Straight Edge Society. They'd never touch a drug!
ReplyDelete...no Christopher Cross fans? Bummer.
ReplyDeleteTheir match at December to Dismember was the only good (rather than so bad it's good) part of that show
ReplyDeleteJeff turns awesome pretty quick. Main event pyro and everything.
ReplyDeleteShe's gross.
ReplyDeleteI heard this is really Willow and Zero Cool or whatever the fuck that idiot called himself in those bad old videos where he was pumped because he could sew.
ReplyDeleteI liked it at the time because the Hardys hadn't tagged in about 5 years at that point. And Jeff www fresh off returning. In hindsight it isn't exciting but at the time Jeff coming back and tagging with Matt was awesome.
ReplyDeleteLOL and fucking 10 years later Jim still can't remember their names right. Jesus Jim.
ReplyDeleteWhat's your timestamp Marv?
ReplyDeleteI figured somebody else would give you props. For what it's worth, I thought it was quite the out of the box reference and I've never been greeted in such a quality way. But I cannot claim to be a fan of Chris so I guess you got your wires crossed.
ReplyDelete16:00
ReplyDeleteThank God he finally learned Jericho isn't Benoit by 2008.
ReplyDeleteArt tells himself to Ride Like the Wind to get here on time.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't MNM's pants match? That's fucking stupid.
ReplyDeleteYou always come through!
ReplyDeleteBut honestly Arthur he does as he pleases...
If someone can successfully add BAAAAAAACK body drop into the sentence and make it work, they should win a prize.
ReplyDeleteMercury couldn't see which pair he grabbed.
ReplyDeleteIt's weird having a "pretty boy" team and one guy is rocking a face mask.
I've got a long way to go....to make it to the border of Mexico.
ReplyDeleteI liked "I missed the bus" and "jump jump".
ReplyDeleteOn your way there.....think of Laura.
ReplyDeleteI know I don't.
Honestly I'm shocked you even know the reference. It's quite old and somewhat obscure.
ReplyDeleteAs if there was some incident where one of them became suddenly infamous?
ReplyDeleteI'm of course referring to Jericho on DWTS.
That's why he was so mad. The Hardys messed up his pretty grill.
ReplyDeleteBeing that my name is Chris I hated those guys simply because of the number of times I got told to "Warm it up" or "Jump Jump"
ReplyDeleteThat ladder shot REALLY fucked him up.
ReplyDeleteYou should get there by Sailing... it takes you away
ReplyDeleteThat's the best one!
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to recycle Maven's theme.
ReplyDeleteEvening everyone.
Kinda weird the Hardys have the whole second run that's been forgotten.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I got no lol's at that exchange with Meekin where I pretended I couldn't tell the difference between George C. Scott and Brando. Six minutes of brilliance just wasted on you people.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed it when I saw it eventually.
ReplyDelete
