The Daniel Bryan thing is a complete joke if true. I'm sure they did that 15 years ago for Austin and Rock.
ReplyDeleteSo I caved yesterday and bought a ticket to the ROH show in San Antonio on April 4. Raw is in town the following Monday, but I don't plan on attending that.
ReplyDeleteJimmy Uso should still compete in the tag team match but with a mystery partner...Bubba Ray Dudley? Bubba can stand on the apron and clap his hands and then when the match breaks down, he can hit all his signature spots.
ReplyDeleteWorks for me.
The show sucks, and will never be good again but maybe you'll get a taste of work rate here and there so I'll keep one toe in the water. I think that is just how it is with the WWE from here on out. At least for most of us.
ReplyDeleteI ask this with all sincerity. Why the fuck would wwe ever sign the briscoes?
ReplyDelete*Reads Daniel Bryan news*
ReplyDelete*Cornette Face*
Is this the real Dougie or the fake one
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what kind of hillbilly gimmick Vince gives the Briscoes that kills them dead from jump street.
ReplyDeleteThey paid for Gimme Back My Bullets and now want to use it
ReplyDeleteBrock's probably pissed because he only just got around to looking at his pay-cheque.
ReplyDeleteThey probably should have. Not that they need to squash fan support of babyfaces, but in the late 90s there were too many signs everywhere.
ReplyDeleteTo keep in NXT.
ReplyDeleteReal Dougie, though the part about being sincere sounds fake
ReplyDeleteAh, OK.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised they don't have someone with a magic marker at the door to scratch Daniel Bryan off signs and write in Roman Reigns.
ReplyDeleteHopefully to be Darren Young's valets.
ReplyDeleteHHH needs a steady supply of already experienced indy guys to move into NXT so he can keep up the illusion that he is a great talent scout supporting cutting edge training facilities.
ReplyDeleteU mad bro?
ReplyDeleteOr bring a Roman Reigns sign to the arena, a giant sharpie, and write on the back when seated. That or just hold the Reign's one upside down as a sign of distress.
ReplyDeleteWell, there goes what little of a push Xavier Woods had.
ReplyDeleteI thought they already have a hillbilly gimmick?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they'll start making fake signs too, and they'll be easily identifiable as they won't be able to resist putting that little WWE logo in the corner like on all their T shirts
ReplyDeleteConsidering that they're chicken farmers, I expect them to be the new Godwinns.
ReplyDeleteI always figured if I went to a show I'd take a blank sign and then write something horrendous on it when I got there. They probably confiscate blank signs though
ReplyDeleteI guess WWE really doesn't care how terrible these types of stories (the bryan sign story) look. It doesn't strike me as the type of publicity you'd want, but what do I know?
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to come up with an entertainment equivalent about how actively hostile WWE is towards it's own audience, and the Human Centipede is all I can think of as a demonstration of hate art.
ReplyDeleteAbeyance, I had a thought recently. This current Mania situation with Reigns/Bryan/Lesner mirrors what happened with the HIMYM finale. The fans wanted Barney/Bryan to go with Lesner/Robin but the show runners had a long term plan of Ted/Reigns going with Robin/Lesner and instead of giving the fans what they wanted they stuck to their original plan.
ReplyDeleteInsult comics and strippers?
ReplyDeleteIf the Briscoe Bros do go to NXT, they should just put the Prime Time Players down there as well so we can get this inevitable feud over with.
ReplyDeleteGood ones.
ReplyDeleteNew Day is the worst.
ReplyDeleteWhy did they sign Luke Harper? Erik Rowan? Wait, maybe we have the new Wyatts...
ReplyDeleteAt least WWE didn't make us think it was going to be Bryan/Lesnar all the way up until next week's Raw, then suddenly swerve us, kill off Bryan and stick Reigns in the main event.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I had the same thought for last year, but at least they corrected it last year.
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess fans don't need to go to live events since there are already enough people there.
ReplyDeleteI can see a future where that type of stuff will happen.
ReplyDeleteTheir sign confiscating skills suck then because there were a ton of negative Roman Reigns signs making TV on RAW Monday.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there would ever be a time where there's enough John Cena signs?
ReplyDeleteThey're not signing until summer, I think you're overestimating the prospects of the Prime Time Players.
ReplyDeleteNEVER
ReplyDeleteWonder if the Usos injury means the Ascension gets their spot in the throw away Fatal Four Way pre-show tag title match?
ReplyDeleteWWE should just start dressing fans up like Roman Reigns.
ReplyDeleteTurn them heel with Henry as leader and we maybe have something...
ReplyDeleteBlacks, AMIRITE?
ReplyDeleteI really hope the Briscoe hiring bites the WWE in the ass. HHH shouldn't touch those assholes with a ten foot pole.
ReplyDeleteIf WWE doesn't do anything with them, that will be their job.
ReplyDeleteBut you know Vince will amplify that to a level of absurdity.
ReplyDeleteThe sign-pulling is a lot like those fellows who had to change their old-school costumes in exchange for Uso and John Cena t-shirts. What's next?
ReplyDeleteSecurity: "You, right there?"
Fan: "Yeah?"
Security: "Your facial hair is distracting to the children. Shave it off, now!"
Fan: "Is this because I look too much like Daniel Bryan?"
Security: "Absolutely not. Shave it!"
Fan: "Can I make it shorter, like Roman Reigns?"
Security: "And risk angry ticket-buyers thinking that you are Roman Reigns when he's not actually here tonight? Absolutely not!"
touch those assholes
ReplyDeleteTheme is still catchy though.
ReplyDeleteReading Smackdown lineup Henry is a face again, yuck.
ReplyDeleteAs if a mere mortal can get that beautiful,stunning hair.
ReplyDeleteI wish they would have during Austin and Rock's time. You could hardly see shit from the stands because of all of the damn signs. It was out of control.
ReplyDeleteHe would however touch other assholes.
ReplyDeleteAnd rename them the Nation of Stagnation.
ReplyDeleteWhat should he touch those as Sholes with?
ReplyDeleteRoman Reigns wigs.
ReplyDeleteA girl I haven't talked to in years has all of a sudden started liking my every photo/status the last couple of weeks. She wants to hit that doesn't she?
ReplyDeleteDancin' Negroes be dancin', yo.
ReplyDeleteNo way. Human Centipede actively gives their fans what they want.
ReplyDeleteHIMYM also released an alternate ending but I still think they shit the bed with the original ending. By the way, am I the only one who has a slight suspicion Ted poisoned his wife, killing her slowly so he could be with the now available Robin. Teds kind of an asshol even and does shitty things so it's not that out there to think this of him.
ReplyDeleteFo sho.
ReplyDeleteyou're smashing it, bro
ReplyDeleteIt could be the new Mysterio mask.
ReplyDeleteThat could help out the Undertaker.
ReplyDeleteFinishing up Backlash 2002. Man, the second half of this show is not good. Austin vs Taker was just flat out bad. Did Austin have a single good match in 2002?
ReplyDeleteWere Harper and Rowan 5'9 30yo flippy-floppers with a history of homophobia?
ReplyDeleteDid anyone see the sequel? It's literally the most disgusting film I've ever seen. It's probably worse than A Serbian Film.
ReplyDeleteThe WWE wants something like this:
ReplyDeletehttp://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/09/23/article-2207419-15293EC6000005DC-824_634x295.jpg
And Baron Corbin
ReplyDeleteProbably just to prop up the NXT shows for a bit, until they inevitably get fired for saying something racist/homophobic
ReplyDeleteThe WWE missed the boat with these:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.beard.tips/wp-content/uploads/beard-hat.jpg
His last televised match on Raw against Flair was actually pretty good, if I recall.
ReplyDeleteHe was living pretty fast, running pretty hard.
ReplyDeleteRemember to use the word "bae" a lot when texting her. Apparently, "babe" is difficult to type.
ReplyDeleteAngry militant Black Panthers, happy dancin' negroes, and jungle natives. These are the only things black people can possiblyou be in vince's mind.
ReplyDeleteSo a guy at my job gave his notice and told all our customers he was leaving in a formal letter. My boss was not pissed and threatened to sue him. They have been arguing for an hour and I expect someone to go through a table soon.
ReplyDeleteThen he took his ball and went home.
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting theory, now I hope that someone remakes a darker version of the show like that in 15 years to explain it. And yeah, Ted is the guy we were suppose to root for but they did everything to make him unlikeable.
ReplyDeleteHad a decent one against Flair and Big Show that got ***1/4 from Meltzer.
ReplyDeleteBae is the new thing. Before anyone else. People are dumb.
ReplyDeleteI heard Chyna might be available for asshole touching...
ReplyDeleteSaw it in the movie theater! It was just so over the top that it was impossible to take seriously.
ReplyDeleteShouldn't take them that long then.
ReplyDeleteMake sure to record it and put it on world star.
ReplyDeleteHe told the customers? That's a bit curious.
ReplyDeleteDidn't hurt CM Punk.
ReplyDeleteBleck. Yep.
ReplyDeleteIf he's striking out on his own, he's probably trying to lure them to his own company.
ReplyDeleteYeah, he said he was giving notice and to direct all inquiries to the new project manager starting on the 27th.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to YouTube it. Old Austin vs old Flair sounds kinda fun.
ReplyDeleteThey were still running Taker vs Austin PPV matches as late as Backlash 2002? Holy shit that feud was tired by '99.
ReplyDeleteThe scene when the woman crushes her own baby's head under her foot is definitely the worst thing I've ever seen. Why is stuff like this *made*? My brief period of watching extreme horror movies ended with this film.
ReplyDeleteWhat? That's ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteThe Judgement Day match? I agree with that rating apart from the ***
ReplyDeleteIt may have actually made him more entertaining.
ReplyDeleteSo what's the beef about? Boss felt he overstepped his boundaries?
ReplyDeleteThey really seemed to be having a big nostalgia movement in mid 2002.
ReplyDeleteI'll make sure to scream "WORLD STAR" while I'm taping it.
ReplyDeleteWhat type of work are you in? In my industry, we do that all the time when we switch jobs - it's just a courtesy to keep the clients in the loop. Of course, whenever we quit, we're always doing our best to leverage our business relationships and build a book of business, so I'm guessing that's why your boss is upset.
ReplyDeleteWith Demott gone they need to fill their homophobe quota
ReplyDeleteSounds like boss might have been a contributing factor to him moving on...
ReplyDeleteHis last Raw match vs. Flair.
ReplyDeleteThis is true, they need as many people as possible who don't find the word faggot offensive in order to avoid future lawsuits.
ReplyDeleteMy boss sent a letter saying not to tell everyone he was leaving. He wants to spin-doctor it to make it seem like he was fired.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAA oh fuck that's right, that was nuts. She has the baby in the car and then immediately steps on it right?
ReplyDeleteI dunno, watching stuff like that laughing your ass off with a bunch of friends is still one of my great movie joys.
Also, if you really wanna talk disturbing horror movies, Martyr might be #1 of anything I've ever seen. Make HC2 look like a British costume drama.
Just make the tag title clusterfuck a tornado match and nobody will even notice there's only one Uso.
ReplyDeleteThen run for cover so you don't get in trouble.
ReplyDeleteWhat's bleck? Is that a new thing?
ReplyDeletePaint up R-Truth
ReplyDeleteRAYCESS.
ReplyDeleteHire Samoa Joe and paint him like the missing Uso.
ReplyDeleteWe're in construction. He did it as a courtesy to keep the clients in the loop like you said.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.rspwfaq.net/2012/04/assorted-april-ppv-countdown-2002.html
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely hilarious.
So without the Usos, Kidd/Cesaro pretty much have to retain right? No way they'd put the belts on Matadores or New Day.
ReplyDeleteGet ready for the NXT debut of Jackson & Homer Cornhauler!
ReplyDeleteHe could roll under the ring and then come back out from under it playing his brother, it's the solo version of twin magic.
ReplyDeleteBeing that they need a Samoan, it's too bad Joe isn't available.
ReplyDeleteThat's more of a sound my mouth makes when listening to British accents. ;)
ReplyDeleteheard of that, never seen it. Some sort of brutal revenge movie, right? I probably won't check it out now, I lack the stomach for that kind of thing anymore. I still can't get Serbian Film out of my head.
ReplyDeleteOOH, or call Rikishi.
ReplyDeleteThank god I don't have to deal with bosses and office shit anymore.
ReplyDeleteReading stories like fans getting signs taken away because there are "to many of a certain wrestler" is enough reason for me never to spend money on a live event again.
ReplyDeleteI do hope some kids sign was taken away and it turns that fan off from professional wrestling for life.
Seriously who the hell makes that call? Production people?
It really does amaze me that a company can treat its fans so poorly and yet people (myself included) keeps giving them money (DVDs, occasional month of the network here and there.). I mean Christ I know some signs can be offensive and should rightfully taken away but come on now enough is enough.
Whatever
Well. I say!
ReplyDeleteBradshaw vs. Scott Hall .... jesus.
ReplyDeleteGood, keep the belts on the most enjoyable team.
ReplyDeleteBriscoe Brothers = New Wyatt Family members?
ReplyDeleteSo I was trying to watch an episode of TNT because it makes for great background noise when your doing stuff at work and I'm getting a "WWE Network video content is currently not available for viewing at this location" message every time I try to play it. Now it is totally playing other videos and stuff, just not those ones. Anyone ever had that happen?
ReplyDeleteThe story could be that Truth also stole Uso's wardrobe to take his place. Then JBL could be all "black people be stealin', Maggle!"
ReplyDeleteDefinitely more so on Matadores than New Day.
ReplyDeleteIt's time for a change!
ReplyDeleteIt's March Madness. I'm winning the BoD pool cause Im calling it: UK over Iowa St.
ReplyDeleteNext week's Daily Update: A few people who were at RAW have told Dave Meltzer that security gave out a few Roman Reigns signs at the door stating that there were not enough of them yet.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if the fans bring signs that says Bryan Danielson or American Dragon the E won't notice them
ReplyDeletePut the titles on The Realest Guys In The Room, they are already the most entertaining tag team wwe has.
ReplyDeleteSalò is pretty harsh.. unless you're into coprophagia.
ReplyDeleteSo AMC's version of Preacher has cast the woman who plays Raina on Agents of SHIELD as Tulip. I'm not sure how I feel about this.
ReplyDeleteI liked the DERP one from a few weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteAnd looking back I wish I would of stopped watching the wwe when the Owen Hart negligence occurred.
ReplyDeleteThen again Bret forgave so why can't I?
Random:
ReplyDeleteWM17 Hardcore Title Match - Raven v Kane v Big Show
Love it or hate it?
I love it. Great fun.
With Seth Rogen in charge that project is doomed from the start.
ReplyDeleteI approve.
ReplyDeleteTaking away signs.
ReplyDeleteNot because they're obscene, or controversial, or offensive in any way. Just because they have enough of them already.
Mother. fucker.
Ok, if this is true, I'm maybe 2 or 3 steps away from blowing off WM and cancelling the network. What in the actual fuck fuck fuckity fuck are they doing? This company is quickly becoming an abortion of what a wrestling business should be.
No not a revenge flick, it sorta starts as a horror movie and morphs into something else. The twist halfway through where the story changes is pretty fucking nuts.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of A Serbian Film, but your revulsion sounds like a ringing endorsement. (As far as brutal horror movies go.)
Was that the one where Raven can't get the cart to work?
ReplyDeleteIt's a genuinely fun match.
ReplyDeleteIt's great.
ReplyDeleteI love the story how they almost cut a power cable with the golf cart spot that would have sent the entire arena dark if it was cut.
I don't know about you guys but I'm ready to see Hampton SHOCK THE WORLD BABY!!! Ok, I'm not really, but I am ready to see my school fuck Larry Brown and those jesus freaks up!
ReplyDeleteDid its job on the undercard. Certainly had a different flow than the other matches, which made it unique. I'm also a Raven fan so its nice to see him get a WM match.
ReplyDeleteThis is sad because it's true.
ReplyDeleteThe other teams are (let me spell it out for ya): S-A-W-F-T!
ReplyDeleteSAAAWWWFFFT!
I don't think that's necessarily true. The guy seems to be a true fan of the comic, so it could be a good adaptation. I'm not at all expecting it to match the book panel for panel, I'm just hoping for the right feel.
ReplyDelete"He thinks he's cute...you know he's derpy!"
ReplyDeleteYour new avatar makes me feel funny.
ReplyDelete#HossTingles
Anybody else following this drama with the darknet market Evolution? The two owners of the website stole something like $34 million from the various vendors (drug dealers) on that site. They pissed a lot of people off.
ReplyDeleteYeah I thought it was hysterical how fucked up they made everything. That dude seems like the kind of guy that is WWE's target demo also.
ReplyDeleteSHOCK THE WORLD
ReplyDelete/Juwan Howard
Seth Rogen is doing it now? Wasn't the dude who did Daredevil and the first Ghost Rider doing it? That thing has been around the block more than a few times.
ReplyDeleteJust take a sign that says:
ReplyDeleteDANIEL
BRYAN
SUCKS!
Once they let you in, rip the bottom line off. That'll show those nazis.
FIGHT THE POWER!
Serbian Film has very graphic murders, penises going into eye sockets, pedophillia, baby-rape and all kinds of horrors. It's just awful. I *wouldn't* recommend it to anyone. I read in one article about demented pedophile Ian Watkins of Lostprophets that he was obsessed with the movie
ReplyDeleteI liked the Hardcore match from No Way Out 01 better.
ReplyDeleteYeah this is really bad on their part. I've heard of taking signs that have to do with other promotions but this is straight up undermining, creepily fascist-like activity if it's true.
ReplyDeleteAnd you can't teach that!
ReplyDeleteAnd then add that bottom line to your ROMAN REIGNS sign!
ReplyDeleteYes. I have erected a monument in her honor quite a few times.
ReplyDeleteI bet Vince could never think there are enough "You're a turd" signs on camera during Bryan matches, though
ReplyDeleteHe gets it to work, but crashes it after about 3 seconds
ReplyDeleteAnd that's the bottom line
ReplyDeleteSeems reasonable to me.
ReplyDeletePhew, just got all my bets in for the afternoon. Exhausting work, but now I have an hour to fuck around before they start.
ReplyDeleteDamn millennials, too good to walk to corner for drugs.
ReplyDeleteIs this gonna be the new Owen Hart type thing? Crowd will chant "Turd! Turd! Turd!" at Bryan and he'll scream back "I'm not a turd!"
ReplyDeleteI can't fathom why anyone would buy drugs on the internet even the dark web. I mean even if the transaction is far from prying eyes, you still need a physical package delivered to you.
ReplyDeleteWho would risk such a thing?
This day always reminds me about how I would book 64 man seeded tournaments for the WWF back as a kid. I'd seed 4 guys 1-16, and then use a manila folder opened up to draw my brackets and fill them out lol.
ReplyDeleteI've seen all kinds of crazy shit lately with the Network. I've given up even using it on Xbox One at this point.
ReplyDeleteI use to make 64 man wrestling tournaments all the time, I really wish they did something like that.
ReplyDeleteI think it's becoming clear that NXT is no longer a developmental territory and more a really awesome indy promotion, which is exactly the thing that we've been wanting WWE to create forever.
ReplyDeleteHey if anyone is on the network right now, do me a favor and see if TNT #5 will play for you. Everything else will play for me but that, and you guys understand how awful it is for a nerd like me to start skipping shit out of order.
ReplyDeleteWHY IS THERE TNT ON THE NETWORK GODDAMMIT?! I KILLED NITRO AGES AGO, PAL!
ReplyDeleteI think that's kind what it's been since Arrival.
ReplyDeleteThe WWE has created the #2 promotion in the US.
ReplyDeleteJust don't Dunn it up.
ITS REVERSE SCOTT!
ReplyDeleteOn the contrary, they're awesome.
ReplyDeleteTtocs?
ReplyDeleteYeah the streaming being so herky jerky is starting to be a problem for me. I don't know if it is just me, but especially the vault section seems to be stopping every minute or so.
ReplyDeleteHtiek?
ReplyDeleteIt's weird to watch a wrestling program where I don't dread a segment or wrestler. Hell, I love fucking Blue Pants!
ReplyDeleteThey confiscated a sign from me once. They said "there are already loads of people with that same sign"...
ReplyDeleteBastards. That's the last time I take a "VINCE IS A SENILE OLD C*NT" sign to a Raw taping.
I should clarify: Basketball is lame. Unless the Raptors make the playoffs, in which case Canada loves basketball. Until they're out. Then it's lame again.
ReplyDeleteSo Vince is going to be 70 this year. How much longer do we have to put up with his shit?
ReplyDeleteSeems like they are kind of copying the 80's WWF playbook and getting all the best indy talent (and international talent in the same vein). If the end game is a super stacked and well booked dream indy fed I think that is pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteFunny they catch the D Bry sign but let the "Cody Rhodes Fuck Me" sign at 27 get on camera
ReplyDeleteIf he's a fighter, another 20 years.
ReplyDelete15 years at least. It's not getting better dude.
ReplyDeleteSomething, something Vince won't die, head in a jar, robot body....
ReplyDeleteVince Sr died at 69. But he didn't have that amazing physique keeping him young.
ReplyDeleteI really hope that nobody on NXT gets called up for at least a year or so. Like, I'll honestly be disappointed the day Owens or Zayn or Balor debut on Raw and you just know they're about to become unwatchable.
ReplyDeleteThe second dark age is gonna be longer,
ReplyDeleteCollege basketball in the US gets the absolute truth in life:
ReplyDeleteTOURNAMENTS ARE AWESOME
One word: Brace.... yourself. This is Vince at 70. Imagine how bad his ideas will be at 80.
ReplyDelete
