Smackdown on SyFy at 8/7c.
More college bowl games, including the Alamo Bowl on ESPN right now, and the Cactus Bowl at 10:15/9:15c also on ESPN.
NBA, NHL resume regular scheduled games.
The Network will feature this year's Tribute to the Troops show at 8/7c.

Blargh.
ReplyDeleteAlso, don't forget my NEW Dailymotion channel at http://www.dailymotion.com/strangerinthealps. I'll have a Primetime episode up at some point this weekend, and continue to post videos a few times a week. That way you can get some context to some of the earlier shows on the Network.
ReplyDeleteI just rewatched the end of Survivor Series 2014 for no particular reason.
ReplyDeleteAfter Team Cena wins, Cole declares this the most incredible moment in Survivor Series history.
Really? Did "somebody" forget the screwjob of 97? Jesus.
I should be watching Superstars of Wrestling before Wrestling Challenge, right?
ReplyDeleteWell it was the biggest match in Survivor Series history unlike say Team WWF vs Team WCW for the survival of the entire company at stake or something.
ReplyDeleteI think back in the day, some markets showed both shows on Saturday, while others chose to air Challenge on Sunday. Totally your call, dude.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, SD had storyline updates? Why are E&C on?
ReplyDeleteIt's the ASCENSION!
ReplyDeleteOh wait, it's Rollins.
Edge with a different t-shirt on every show. Tonight he pimps Cesaro with the King of Swing shirt.
ReplyDeleteSmackdown's 5 minutes old and so far they've showed a random limo driver stepping in shit.
ReplyDeleteGreat start.
I'll go that route then. Thanks. This channel is a goldmine for someone like me.
ReplyDeleteOh wait, it's not even Rollins.
ReplyDeleteIt's Noble and Mercury.
That limo driver looked like Miz's old man.
ReplyDeleteThe New York City market had Superstars on Saturday and Challenge on Sundays.
ReplyDeleteI hope I can keep it going, man.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great son. He got his dad a job!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great dad. He's great.
ReplyDeleteI turned it off from there.
ReplyDeleteMost poorly designed website? Not as far a being ugly, but functionality? Has to be any Kinja site, right? Bad enough on a PC but on any kind of mobile device it's a shitshow.
ReplyDeleteYou SHUT UP with the short jokes, Edge! Nice neck, jerk!
ReplyDeleteI was watching an episode of WCW Saturday Night earlier from 1992. It was a couple weeks before the first round of the NWA tag title tournament and had a 6-7 minute squash match between Williams/Gordy and some jobbers. I wish WWE would run some longer squash matches like that.
ReplyDeleteIn Canada, we had some Canadianized version of Challenge on Sundays.
ReplyDeleteWith all of the talk about Undertaker going into the HOF this year doesn't it seem more likely he will wait a year and be inducted next year when it's in Texas?
ReplyDeleteThe Jobbers era died over 15 years ago, it'll never come back and even if it did, everyone would hate it by week 3.
ReplyDeleteI remembered why Noble should never speak. Meanwhile, Mercury should speak more.
ReplyDeleteWasn't Steph a communications major? What the fuck is the fixation on fucking court angles of boredom? Not like she was pre-law and flamed out
ReplyDeleteWrestling fans love nothing more than a litigation angle.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it matters. We had Challenge on Saturday and Superstars on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Wrestling Spotlight? We had that on at like 1am on a UHF channel circa 1992.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't some guys like Ryder, Gabriel, and the lower card guys get beat up for longer than 1-2 minutes on RAW or Smackdown? Let em get a couple moves in, but have them do the job in longer than 60 seconds.
ReplyDeleteNice Monsoon reference, Christian.
ReplyDeleteThe 2001 Survivor Series main event didn't count it just featured Stephanie McMahon's hand picked team losing leading to her being put out of power permanently. It can't compare to the 2014 Survivor Series Main Event.
ReplyDeleteWhen we were kids me and my brother called jobbers "those no-name guys".
ReplyDeleteHere on Wrestling Challenge WWF Cavalcade!
ReplyDeleteRoman Reigns vs. Rusev is your main event.
ReplyDeleteShould those guys be facing each other?
That i could live with, but does Vince & Dunn even allow matches to last longer than 3-5 consecutive minutes nowadays?
ReplyDeleteCommercial breaks o plenty.
With Smackdown moving to a new home they're clearly trying to involve it more in actual storylines so as to try and boost the audience.
ReplyDeleteWith your host Billy Red Lyons!
ReplyDeleteThat's a Mania main event that shouldn't be happening 10 times in the last year on free TV.
ReplyDeleteThat'll last a whole three weeks. Enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteOf course not, but it'll just be another Main Event Non-Finish.
ReplyDeleteAnd they wonder why they've lost viewers.
They've been running it on house shows.
ReplyDeleteSure, not like they have dozens of guys with nothing better to do on contract that could make either of them look like killers with decisive wins....wait, they do?
ReplyDeleteIt'll end in either a DQ or a run in finish. It won't matter in the long run.
ReplyDeleteYet HHH & Stephanie still can't bother showing up.
ReplyDeleteNot that i WANT to see more of the Authority but clearly it's the A-Story in WWE right now.
I just found a Chrome extension that lets you download Dailymotion videos. I am in heaven.
ReplyDeleteMaybe not "jobbers" in the WWF sense but the AWA-style jobber that actually took some time to beat. Cycle through NXT guys and whatnot to put on a real match. Real fighters have tuneups as well.
ReplyDeleteThen, now, forever. ONE star!
ReplyDeleteOver/Under in minutes before they mention DANIEL FUCKING BRYAN coming back?
ReplyDeleteShows how much they still really think of him.
Or perhaps the show opening storyline doesn't involve him.
ReplyDeleteIt's not like he needs the constant mentions to get over.
See, this would be a good Smackdown main event, and they're leading the show with it.
ReplyDeleteHell this could be a PPV match if WWE ever, you know, booked.
ReplyDeleteGirl gone, time to sit down and watch Rumble 92, so stoked
ReplyDeleteEveryone loves a match where Hogan shows he's the biggest heel of the early 90s.
ReplyDeleteNo build, no promos just typical WWE incompetence.
ReplyDeleteThis is the FIRST time ever that Bray Wyatt's faced his former comrades and it's curtain jerking Smackdown.
Did anyone else hear Rondo's comments about how he hasn't played defense in a couple of years? Why on Earth would he say that, even if it was true?
ReplyDeleteFlair wins that one.
ReplyDeleteGawker and the other Kinja sites really need an overhaul. Also it's time to switch to Disqus and dump the proprietary comments.
ReplyDelete"Hey Bray, you set me free and I think you're a big jerk. I want to kick your ass at $PPVAFTERTHERUMBLE"
ReplyDeleteBOOKED.
Athletes are so boring all they do is give canned Bull Durham answers.
ReplyDeleteAthlete tells the truth
WHY THE FUCK DID HE DO THAT???
Flair wins that rumble.
ReplyDeleteDid they ever actually explain why the Wyatt family split up or why Rowan turned Face?
ReplyDeleteNo shit.
ReplyDeleteYep.
ReplyDeleteRemember the 25 seconds it seemed like Rowan was getting pushed?
ReplyDeleteat least give us some promo build up for this match
ReplyDeleteYou're right. The authority deserves those constant mentions.
ReplyDeleteHe shouldn't be admitting that he essentially didn't play half of the floor. People pay good money for tickets to go watch the NBA.
ReplyDelete"OH NOES! WWE went 5 fucking minutes without mentioning Daniel Bryan! BURIAL!"
ReplyDeleteNo, not really.
ReplyDeleteI don't like you.
ReplyDeleteThen a damn squash. That match could have been a PPV match, but hey let's flush it so we can keep burying Dean Ambrose AND Bray Wyatt.
ReplyDeleteIf a team drafts Brett Hundley and gives him a season or two he could be something special. But if he gets thrown in right away it could get pretty ugly.
ReplyDeleteYet he is perfect in a tag team, they really should have kept Harper/Rowan together even if they were separate from Bray.
ReplyDeleteI sure did. I stupidly thought they were going to try new stuff. OOPS!
ReplyDeleteEh, had a microsecond where he got the upper hand on Big Show leading up to that awesome stairs match concept
ReplyDeleteThat was pathetic.
ReplyDeleteNo heat and did the match even last 3 minutes?
Fans know what they're getting into when buying NBA tickets.
ReplyDeleteWriting is hard.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to get annoying it seems like the UK showing is currently about 3 minutes behind the US version despite starting at the same time.
ReplyDeleteAaaaaaand yet another shitty county coliseum with aisles as wide as freeways
ReplyDeleteMan those buildings were shit holes.
How blue are your balls?
ReplyDeleteRandom fact: I've been to more NBA games than NFL games. I'm kind of ashamed.
ReplyDeleteExtremely.
ReplyDeleteOh I have a present for you! Deleted Nightman Cometh song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UE6GC47NxgI
You lost the iron man thread. By about 10 minutes.
ReplyDeleteI just noticed something odd. Scott Keith looks a lot like Joe Flacco.
ReplyDeleteYeah I saw your post this morning, it's not fair I went to work I haven't slept yet, trying to get back on some kind of normal schedule
ReplyDeleteIt could've been easy, Rowan explains that he entered Cena's team so he can apologize to what he did months before.
ReplyDeleteApologize to Super Cena for beating him up months before?
ReplyDeleteThat's even worse than the nothing we did get.
I don't have to work until Monday. Anyway, I long ago gave up on a regular sleeping schedule. Sometimes I'm up until 9 a.m., tonight I might me in bed by midnight.
ReplyDeleteSo have I, then again, an NBA team plays like 30 minutes away from me.
ReplyDeleteChris hemsworth as a hacker?!
ReplyDeleteYeah I was only there for like an hour to do the weekly crap I haven't been around to do. Just seeing the building made me sad.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xIYVw3ZPJk
ReplyDeleteAnd, just like that, nothing I've seen in WWE seems that bad.
It's better than nothing.
ReplyDeleteLol I've seen that! It's on the live 35 minute version of the play they did. Have you seen it? They did the whole episode live as a play. It was awesome.
ReplyDeleteIt could be worse. It could be Chikara.
ReplyDeleteThinking about downloading GTAIV or GTAV for my PS3. Anyone have any thoughts about which is more fun?
ReplyDeleteI made it 45 seconds.
ReplyDeleteIV is a better game I think, V is the prettiest game ever made
ReplyDeleteDon't think I've seen any Chikara.
ReplyDeleteBut seriously. Hypnosis and dancing?
I'm from Buffalo, and have been to only one Bills game, and it was against Jacksonville, it almost doesn't count. Meanwhile I went to all the pre-season NBA games here.
ReplyDeleteOh god, I have to find that now
ReplyDeleteOh, no, Marv. You MUST watch to the end.
ReplyDeleteMust.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOcjq4siu7A
ReplyDelete5 by far, 4 is a technical masterpiece but it's not actually fun to play. 4 is a nightmare with constant phone calls for side missions that you either do or you end up damaging relationships you spent hours building up.
ReplyDeleteThere's the problem: Who wants to go to a Bills game?
ReplyDeleteAll the beer cans and piss in the alley?
ReplyDeleteI made with a girl to go drink at her place. She just got out of a relationship and therefore sexytimes probably would occur, but laziness is slowly taking over.
ReplyDeleteHopefully this will allow Rose to actually wrestle a decent length match rather than the 2 minute spots he's been doing.
ReplyDeleteI'm convinced he would be more over if he was allowed to actually wrestle.
Enjoyed em both, but the plot in GTA V in spots is terribad.
ReplyDeleteKill tons of cops = cool
Kill one corrupt cop giving you grief = Nah
Plus GTA IV has Brucie. But GTA V is a better world. Close call either way.
I tried again, made it to the fat fuck in a g-string, I just can't.
ReplyDeleteyeah....that's pretty bad. I think the dancing thing is worse.
ReplyDeleteI mean, seriously. A fat guy does a striptease.
Man up, Marv.
ReplyDeleteNah I think I'll go back to Rumble 92, I've been feeling good about wrestling lately
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'm just jaded or have shitty taste, but is that THAT much worse than Torito, or any of Santino's shit? At least it's different
ReplyDeleteGTA V is probably more fun. Heists. 3 characters. Light hearted fun
ReplyDeleteGTA IV has a better story, one I got extremely invested in and loved.
It would be different if the stadium was in the city and easily accessible, but it's like an hour away. And I'm not sitting out in the cold. I don't know how fans of good teams do that, never mind the Bills. Fuck that noise.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlA2LwPnNhc
ReplyDeleteALEX SHELLEY: The veterans I always go to are Kurt Angle, Sting and
Kevin Nash - Nash has taught me the most out of all of them. Those are
the guys I always go to and I respect their opinion a lot. And they’re
always very open-minded and give very constructive criticism as well. I
got to do a lot of interview work with Nash, and he basically told me
that if you’re having fun doing your promos, then people can see that.
And they can also see when something is forced, too, and when something
is uncomfortable for somebody to do. So he said that you just have to
find a way to make everything fun, and if you can do that, people can
see that you’re enjoying yourself, thus they’re going to enjoy watching
you.
AUSTIN ARIES: I have nothing but fond memories of Kevin Nash
the whole time we did the whole Paparazzi Production thing, and I was
associated with him... I think Kevin is a great guy. I think he is very
smart business-wise to what we do. I felt nothing but positive vibes
from him. Honestly, I look back and a lot of the guys who were doing it
with me at the same time would agree that those Paparazzi Production
skits were some of the most fun I had doing wrestling. It was really
just a bunch of guys going out and creating moments and having a good
time playing off each other. I think Kevin was a big part of that. I
think there was always the perception that he didn't like smaller guys
or used certain situations to better himself only, but I never got the
sense of that. There were a couple of situations where he had our back
and wanted to make sure that we were all doing the best we could, and
the company was doing the best they could for us.
CASSIDY RILEY: I
like Kevin Nash. Kevin’s a hell of a funny guy man. I thought it was
good to have him back, he was a little bit older and he wasn’t the same.
He didn’t mind sitting down and talking to you and trying to teach the
younger guys some things, so I always liked Kevin.
CONSEQUENCES
CREED: Kevin Nash is awesome man, he’s one of those guys that you know
you can go talk to for advice. He’ll always be there to joke around with
you; he’s one of the coolest guys that I met down there.
PETEY
WILLIAMS: I’ll tell you what man Kevin Nash is one of the coolest guys,
we dressed in separate locker rooms and stuff, and Kevin used to come in
our locker room where the X-Division guys dress. He would sit down
there and he would shoot the breeze telling us stories for like an hour,
I mean he’s awesome.
SONJAY DUTT: Kevin Nash was cool man right
off that bat. Kevin and Scott together, I’ll group them together
because they both came in together at that time in Orlando and they were
both cool as hell. After Hall left Nash obviously stuck around and he
did that Paparazzi thing with us and he really became a good friend of
ours. He hung out with us before the shows after the shows, we would go
to his hotel and we became good friends and he was a great guy. He even
told us hey man you know I’m a lot different than I was in the WCW days
which I can’t even comment on what happened during then. To us he was
nothing but the coolest dude in the world.
----------------------------------------------------
Nash always kind of struck me as a guy who would say some of the things he did, just to fuck with the smarks.
Wuss.
ReplyDeleteJust saw the advert for the build a Millennium Falcon magazine collection, only 100 issues to collect for just £8.99 each.
ReplyDelete£899 for a model of the millennium falcon you have to build yourself, who is dumb enough to subscribe to that?
Didn't someone hear drank once with Nash?
ReplyDeleteHypnosis.
ReplyDeleteDancing under hypnosis.
Yes. It's worse.
Wasn't it Farva?
ReplyDeleteI love the Nash hate, what exactly did the guy do except be really fucking smart and have amazing hair?
ReplyDeleteNah, Nash seems like a genuinely fun guy.
ReplyDeleteStill doesn't change the fact he's a lazy fuck who cares about nothing but cashing cheques. Which is still actually fine too.
That seems familiar.
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell is an aluminum falcon?
ReplyDeleteIt seems a lot of people dislike GTA IV for being a bit more serious than other GTA fares but I loved it.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone remember the PPV where Abyss and Hogan knock all of Flair's Poor Horsemen into the hole into the ring?
ReplyDeleteFurther food for thought on this debate....V is $59.99 IV is $19.99.
ReplyDeleteI'm watching the Canada/Denmark Junior game.
ReplyDelete...so it probably didn't happen?
ReplyDeleteThat's not enough reason to hate a guy?
ReplyDeleteMe, on a couple occasions. Fun times.
ReplyDeleteI like the serious feeling while still living in a cartoon world, V's the opposite, the story feels silly but the world is almost too real to have fun in.
ReplyDeleteIt's the same exact problem the 49ers have. Either drive and hour and pay 30 bucks to park or take public transit.
ReplyDeleteThat poor super skinny geek looks so disgusted with himself as he pretends to be hynpotized for FOUR MINUTES.
ReplyDeleteSpend the extra money and get 5.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know the name of that tag team? I'm actually shooting a documentary on the song "Rapper's Delight" and I might want to use them in the film.
ReplyDeleteI'm liking Denmarks chances...for keeping it within 5 goals.
ReplyDeleteCole just pointed out how Usos/Dusts have feuded nonstop all year
ReplyDeleteDumb question: why would the Authority not pay attention to their own show, rather detailing it to two doofii like Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury? I guess uber-heel and face of the promotion Stephanie is too busy.
ReplyDeleteAnyone hear read the comic book Powers? Was thinking of checking out the first collection before the TV show debuts. Worth it?
ReplyDeleteSo much this. I get that he's dead so we all have to be super nice, but that guy was often an abysmal liar.
ReplyDeleteFarva saw Jimmy Hart a few times.
ReplyDeleteI found it. Here is the worst PPV finish I've ever seen live.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwOyUrkbDjc
Can't they get Kane back on their payroll? Surely he would do a better job trying to keep Edge/Christian in line
ReplyDeleteBack to this again, huh?
ReplyDeleteBack to what?
ReplyDeleteGreat great book. Then Michael Avon Oeming got bored and it's relaunched twice and ran out of steam a bit.
ReplyDeleteBut picking up a bunch of trades and reading it at your own leisure? Then yeah highest recommendation.
Back to Rua future!
ReplyDeleteAbysmal liar or an AMAZING one?
ReplyDeleteNo, that was me. Hall and Waltman got kicked out, HHH was polite and not drinking but told me to get lost. "You can't take these fucking guys anywhere".
ReplyDeleteAm I suppose to give a shit that Bono might not be able to play again? I know Bono more without the guitar than with.
ReplyDeleteI shall download the first collection tonight!
ReplyDeleteThere we go 42 minutes for a Daniel Bryan namedrop.
ReplyDeleteIll allow it. Marv, answer the question.
ReplyDeleteNo clue, sir. I just stumbled across this on youtube and thought it was worth sharing.
ReplyDeleteGot damn...who was that rosebud dressed as Lara Croft?
ReplyDeleteHe played guitar?!?
ReplyDeleteCavs went from down near 20 to leading by 9.
ReplyDeleteRight?
ReplyDeleteBut if he can't play music how can he earn money to not pay tax on, then complain that governments don't spend enough money on his latest favourite issue?
ReplyDeleteOk I was kind of meh about it until AJ had to kind of wiggle himself into the hole in the ring, that's hilarious.
ReplyDeleteDid they need to name drop him earlier?
ReplyDelete$30? It costs that much to park at the Ralph these days, at least.
ReplyDeleteThere's more to it. Before, Hogan gave Abyss his HOF ring, which somehow gave Abyss these superhuman powers.
ReplyDeleteNah, just needed to namedrop HHH and Steph 20 times first.
ReplyDeleteYou could basically watch him looks things up on webMD, so bad.
ReplyDeleteSeriously. I'm suddenly ok with Dustin jobbing to Torito. Seems like not a bad day at the office by comparison.
ReplyDeleteQuick extant, move to strike.
ReplyDeleteAny person from a rural area who shoots the TV after seeing a farmersonly.com ad should get a free TV, paid for by the company.
ReplyDeleteGood book. Deena pilgrim is a great character.
ReplyDeleteHHH/Steph are involved in the storyline that's running throughout the episode and was integral to the opening segment.
ReplyDeleteDaniel Bryan is not.
Bryan does not need constant mentions to keep over.
How many times have they namedropped Cena, Orton, Reigns, Ziggler so far?
I have no objections. Dude did what he could to make himself look better on the BoD. He was living the character. More power to him.
ReplyDeleteMarv any closing arguments?
ReplyDeleteI miss the talking dogs trying to get their masters to fuck, that shit was so accidentally dark and disturbing it was hilarious.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I will google it.
ReplyDeleteJohn Cena just announced he's not retiring and is instead making a comeback after 7 months on the shelf?
ReplyDeleteI agree with the first point but I disagree that it's too real to have fun in. That world was insanely fun to roam around in and the Heists were amazing.
ReplyDeleteI'm always o.k. with Dustin jobbing, can't stand him.
ReplyDeleteNot really an argument, it is odd how many off the rail depressives we have around here though. I never got the sense the whole Farva thing was accidental.
ReplyDeleteVery disappointed in the heists.
ReplyDeletePlanned the jewelry store job perfectly did it nice and quiet and then bam Scripted bullshit with 1000 cops.
Was very let down.
I hated that he died so young, but yeah, the guy was full of crap.
ReplyDeleteOdd? Makes perfect sense to me. Depressives are drawn to places like this, especially when they can do it anonymously.
ReplyDeleteThey're only reshowing the portion of Raw where Daniel Bryan announced his return once at the halfway point of the show, rather than in between every single segment?
ReplyDeleteOMG he's totally getting BERRIED. The WWE are trying to sabotage him.
Agreed. This place somehow becomes an outlet for people who are really freaking depressed and they act on it in such odd ways.
ReplyDeleteTo wrestling blogs full of 30 year olds? Maybe that's why they like it, they stick out here. On reddit or something being a whiny suicide douche probably makes you one of millions.
ReplyDeleteI've posted at a lot of message boards and I've never seen so many people have their self-esteem tied to what people think of them at the forum.
ReplyDeleteNo, but it's a sad development from his bike crash. It was also the first time he had spoken since his injury, which is an interesting development
ReplyDeleteYea, he plays guitar a lot when u2 performs live
ReplyDeleteHuh. Did a bit of poking around. There's a bundle with GTAV and a "Free Great White Shark Cash Card" for $28. Guess that makes it an easy decision.
ReplyDeleteKevin Nash was awesome in TNA.
ReplyDeleteI don't know, there were some real douches on the old 411 forums. They just never got all whiny and suicidal, that's the part that's weird to me.
ReplyDeleteOkay so the Sonic guys are definitely gay. Way to mention how a "pitcher and catcher" go together, gay Sonic guy.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Kevin Nash....
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPOViWZJUws
This place, more than reddit or other places - like 411 - is a community, people come to think of others here as friends without actually having to hang out with them in person.
ReplyDeleteThe BoD is much more niche than other websites.
I noticed that. I also noticed that the breakfast sandwich they were pimping seemed to have a....blanket of egg in it. I guess it was meant to be some kind of omelette, but it didn't look very appealing.
ReplyDeleteI think it was accidental in the sense that he didn't actually jump in front of the car, but I mean, I like to get nice and shitfaced, but not to the point where I get hit by cars. And Farva didn't seem like a guy that would do that, as in jump in front of a car and traumatize the guy for life that hit him because he killed someone.
ReplyDelete
