Nerd.
ReplyDeleteWatched Bash at the Beach 94 earlier. I'd give Steamboat/Austin *****. How you can watch that match and not tell Austin was going to be a superstar, I'll never know.
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely purchase a NXT DVD set.
ReplyDeleteSolid weekend work, Bayless.
ReplyDeleteI just decided to watch bits of last weeks Raw, and man, the reaction to Reigns. Heyman does this pretty great promo building Reigns/Brock up, and then the Shield music hits and.... nothing. Literally nothing. Not kids screaming, not women going wild, not a handful of fans popping, just absolutely nothing. Man. Haven't watched since Fast Lane, didn't realise it was THAT bad now. Ooh and a ROMAN SUCKS chant just started up. Nice.
I wonder if that Big Show-Ryback match will be on the DVD?
ReplyDeleteSo Fitta is back?
ReplyDeleteIt was a smark town, just wait till they get to an arena where there aren't any.
ReplyDeleteWe were chatting to a Kyle Pesci last night. Is that him?
ReplyDeleteI believe so.
ReplyDeleteProbably on the cover!
ReplyDeleteSuch great disguises.
ReplyDeleteWrestleMania marathon is back on. Maybe this time I won't fall asleep.
ReplyDeleteNXT DVD!
ReplyDeleteIf he chose a new first name he'd confuse himself I guess.
ReplyDeleteprobably
ReplyDeleteSomeone lied to me and said NXT was free on Hulu...
ReplyDeleteAre you Kyle Fitta?
ReplyDeleteNo, damnit, I'm clearly Kyle Rusconi. Stop asking me.
Scott: It's Kyle Fitta.
So wait, are you him or not?
Well yea, isn't it obvious
Did we ever find out what happened to Loser?
ReplyDeleteI don't think so? Hoss was mean to him and he left.
ReplyDeleteYou better not choke that 7 point lead.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone see that rant Tommy Dreamer posted where he claimed that something like half a million people illegally downloaded his last iPPV, costing him millions of dollars? It was ridiculous even by Dreamer standards.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to his latest meltdown.
ReplyDeleteIt's best not to think about Dreamer.
ReplyDeleteSeriously again?
ReplyDeleteHe found out that one site downloaded his show 66,000 times and multiplied it by 15. That is legit
ReplyDeleteBooting up Judgement Day 03 with the, dare I say it, dream feud between HHH and Nash.
ReplyDeleteCurrently on FXX: The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson. First time I've seen this episode on TV since before 9/11
ReplyDeleteI've won 11 in a row. I'm good
ReplyDeletehttps://twitter.com/kfabe101/status/574043505456185346
ReplyDeleteRF Video is doing a Rey shoot.
Ohhhh shit. Any of you guys heard about this?
I don't recall Fitta ever really interacting with anyone. He just kinda talked to himself. Really bizarre individual.
ReplyDeleteNo pizza, only klav kalash.
ReplyDeleteBonzai won 19 in a row. Look how that turned out.
ReplyDeleteGeneral Manager Austin. Yay?
ReplyDeleteSaw that last night. Should be a good one.
ReplyDeleteGeneral Manager Austin. Nay.
ReplyDeleteSomeone mentioned it yesterday afternoon.
ReplyDeleteHe also did one years ago.
ReplyDeleteYeah, figured it wasn't breaking news or anything. Still, should be interesting, especially if he's legally free to say whatever he wants.
ReplyDeleteI got Zetterberg back but MacKinnon done for 6-8 weeks hurts a bit.
ReplyDeleteBefore he debuted with WWE, I would assumed.
ReplyDeleteHe only interacts when meltdowns are forthcoming.
ReplyDeleteBefore he was in the WWE.
ReplyDeleteJust read the WWE power rankings. Yeah, I don't know why I did either. Roman Reigns is #1 after he just jobbed on Monday. Brock is #5. These people can't even leave their pettiness out of silly rankings.
ReplyDeleteCurrently beating the best team in BoD Fantasy Hockey by 50 points. COME AT ME BROS!
ReplyDeleteI might order House of Hardcore Tonight. Never saw one before and the card doesnt sound horrible.
ReplyDeleteIs it DBSM?
ReplyDelete"Roman Reigns is #1 because we say so, dammit!"
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm destroying him this week.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. I love it! He was in here bragging about his fantasy supremacy and this would, if I'm not mistaken, be his second loss in a row?
ReplyDeleteAnnouncer Tazz always dressed as if he owned a casino that was nearing bankruptcy.
ReplyDeleteInjuries have beaten him pretty hard.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of, fuck you for picking up Vatanen.
ReplyDeleteHe's been on an unstoppable role since winning the 2015 Royal Rumble!
ReplyDeleteYoung Cena! FBI! Rhyno! Kendrick! Benoit!
ReplyDeleteTruly an assembly of Smackdown wrestlers in this opener!
Uh-oh, I've got more workers than I can properly defend from barbarians.
ReplyDeleteA cruel mistress Civ is.
So much orange. It's like when Marge tried to keep on altering that Chanel suit.
ReplyDeleteBrian Kendrick appears to be wearing a shiny, green swimsuit.
ReplyDeleteTerrible look.
Off to see Fozzy now! Will let you know if me and Y2J hook up
ReplyDeleteI remember saying I thought it was, but I don't think I said I knew for sure.
ReplyDeleteThe dark blue sports coat with the giant shoulder pads that doesn't match anything else is bad too.
ReplyDeleteJake is waaaaaaaaaaaaay lighter here
ReplyDeleteSo Albert is the new head trainer . . .thoughts?
ReplyDeleteSure, why not.
ReplyDeleteHe's somebody that actually traveled and learned different styles.
Yeah stop doing the Kendick's dance in front of the cameras
ReplyDeleteBetter pedigree than DeMott had at least.
ReplyDeleteSusan St. James on commentary was not a good idea, to say the least
ReplyDeleteUse protection if you do hook up.
ReplyDeleteThose 66,000 people ALL were not going to buy the show. He'd be lucky to have gotten an extra 5,000 or so. Also, Some guy posted statistics that said that the numbers Dreamer got were when the streams buffer it counts a very rough estimate and it was most likely way below that number.
ReplyDeleteI'm watching some 01 smackdown for my Saturday morning wrestling fix. They had Austin beat the shit of JR, Both Hardy boys and Lita, and have HHH trying to sell him as a heel and the fans DON'T GIVE A FUCK, he's the most over guy in the building by about 100 times.
ReplyDeleteNo way that much people download his show
ReplyDeleteI'm kinda tempted for some reason as well. I wish I could watch them on my tv, though. Not a big fan of paying $15 to watch something on an ipad screen.
ReplyDeleteScott Steiner and Test vs La Resistance
ReplyDeleteTruly a main event anywhere in the world.
It was a streaming site that he got the numbers from. VERY rough estimates.
ReplyDeleteHey, that man trained Mojo Rawley from scratch!
ReplyDeleteHe does have a couple wins over Cena under his belt. The same can't be said about DeMott!
ReplyDeleteIs Spike Dudley still alive?
ReplyDeleteSuddenly I feel so... HYPED!
ReplyDeleteAustin beating the shit out of random people and stunning people like Vince/JR when he was injured (or Vince/Stooges later) is what helped him get so damn over as a face in 97. I am shocked, SHOCKED, that doing the same thing again didn't turn him heel.
ReplyDeleteI forgot about the weird period where America hated France.
ReplyDeleteFreedom Fries!!!!
He sacrificed those millions!
ReplyDeleteHis body, yes, but his mind died long ago.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget about the great wrestler Titus O'Neil.
ReplyDeleteLot of TNA guys on the card, he used his time there to his advantage i see
ReplyDeleteI don't remember much but from watching these two April 01 smackdowns it seems like Albert was pretty fucking cool to watch.
ReplyDeleteRene Dupree punching somebody and immediately doing the French dance to celebrate never stops being funny.
ReplyDeleteand half of them thought it was going to be porn
ReplyDeleteKane match!!!!
ReplyDeleteJust because some of those people were never going to buy it doesn't make non dick move.
ReplyDeleteHe was always a solid tag team guy and carryable in singles. Whenever he had a character that wasn't just silent heel big man he seemed to have a bit of charisma as well.
ReplyDeleteThe French president at the time openly criticized the Iraq War,which the Bush administration didn't take kindly to at all.There was definite tension between the two countries,I remember hearing slogans like "throw French wine down the gutter!"
ReplyDeleteTwo easy games to finish, and if Bayless beats Jellystone I could care less how next week goes. I'm getting playoff ready now with a few IR guys scheduled back this month.
ReplyDeleteOkposo should be the one REALLY pissing the others off, he might be back for the start of the fantasy playoffs.
He's using the same math Stephanie did when she said the WWE has 50 million domestic fans and 10 million unique female viewers. Wrestling math.
ReplyDeleteyou gonna post it on THE TWITTAAH?
ReplyDeleteYoung Bucks vs Austin aries & Bobby Roode should be fun
ReplyDeleteGrenier is terrible. Who did he blow to get hired...oh yeah...
ReplyDeleteJR doing the sad puppy dog act to try and get Austin boos and then Austin basically beating his wife on TV. Still not a boo to be heard.
ReplyDeleteJR: Not nice, Austin.
ReplyDeleteHardys and Lita: HE IS THE FACIEST FACE THAT EVER FACED!
-Teenage me. Modern me isn't far behind on that one.
Also see: Rookie Brock Lesnar.
ReplyDeleteMr. America being interviewed by reporter Gregory Helms was entertaining.
ReplyDeleteAnd I fucked up could NOT care less.
ReplyDeleteSigh.
Josh Mathews rolling out the pink shirt, lensless glasses, frosted tips, hemp necklace look of ultimate early 2000s college student douchiness.
ReplyDeleteWhat the fuck? A random ladder match?
ReplyDeleteDidn't work when he beat her at home either.
ReplyDeleteGod, that match was such a fun and enjoyable slice of WHAT THE FUCK HOW IS THIS ANY GOOD.
ReplyDeleteIt worked for a little while.
ReplyDeleteBenoit and Jericho vs Regal, Angle and E/C in handicap match. Wow that is one stacked fucking roster.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see the NXT footage of the fans shitting all over Show and Ryback.
ReplyDeleteJokes on the fans though because Big Show has 10 more years. :(
ReplyDeleteWhen did Benoit cut his mullet? DId he have it when he was in the horsemen?
ReplyDeleteIt's so weird to see HHH and Stephanie actually being heels and getting a ton of heat on a face. They are totally setting themselves to look like complete idiots and Jeff Hardy to look awesome at the end of show. This must be the only time in history that ever happened.
ReplyDeleteBig showing unsuccessfully trying to get partners for his match vs Kane and Undertaker is a great use of Show and his comedic chops. Him begging guys to back him up and getting blown off his pretty funny.
ReplyDeleteHey! I was mean to him, too!
ReplyDeleteI think Vince is so senile that if you switch Roman to Jason Momoa he won't notice.
ReplyDeleteHe might me the most underrated modern era character.
ReplyDeleteQuick question to stimulate discussion.
ReplyDeleteOf all the various tv shows in the WWE's tape library what is your no1 choice to get added to the network in full?
I think he got rid of it around the time the Horsemen reformed in 1998. It was a bad ass mullet, if they can't put him in the hall of fame at least put his mullet in.
ReplyDeleteSad fact: my mother totally jumped on that bandwagon for a few weeks.
ReplyDeletePrimetime
ReplyDeleteWCW/NWA Saturday Night
ReplyDeleteThat's what I want
ReplyDeleteI drank until I passed out and pissed myself watching Taxi Driver last night. That's where my life's at right now.
ReplyDeleteThey're already loading episodes of that up although slowly and rather annoyingly they started a couple years into the show.
ReplyDeleteWwf superstars of Wrestling
ReplyDeleteFrom all the reports i've seen Big Show turn around the crowd in his favors by interacting with them. I gain a little more apprecation of him because of it
ReplyDeletePissing yourself means something different in the UK to America.
ReplyDeleteDo you mean you wet your pants? or that you laughed very hard?
It's not as bad as it sounds, I didn't eat so my usual Friday night drinks hit me harder than usual. And I drink a lot of water. It still made for an uncomfortable morning though.
ReplyDeleteOh I went my pants.
ReplyDelete#themulletdidntdoit
ReplyDelete"I watched Bret's DVD with tears in my boxers."
ReplyDeleteMid South shows.
ReplyDeleteI like Show, he seems like a nice guy and loves what he does. I just wish they would keep him in the midcard putting over guys, not burying.
ReplyDeleteDude is a funny guy. Has a natural charisma. Considering Foley and even Raven have done stand up, I don't know why Show doesn't try his hand at it either.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe it did? Came back for revenge like Snake's hair.
ReplyDeleteWho the fuck decided to make a boxing match this long? Fuck this show.
ReplyDeleteWCW Saturday Night.
ReplyDeleteWM 2? Not the best one, that's for sure
ReplyDeleteI was pissed I couldn't go back to the black history month episodes
ReplyDeleteThe Fan is underrated. Gets a bit over the top at the end but a good crazy DeNiro performance.
ReplyDeleteSaturday Night would be great too. Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling as well.
ReplyDeleteI really gained appreciation to Show in his shoot interview years ago.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I fell asleep watching it last week and I'm picking up where I left off. it's been bad.
ReplyDeleteShow really gets over with the live crowd as he can work them like anything, when you are on tv , a lot of the tricks can't be used however so he is less over on tv than in person.
ReplyDeleteSimilar to Rikishi and Funkai in the past.
World Class.
ReplyDeleteIs there anything interesting that's going to happen on Raw monday?
ReplyDeleteMonday night raw. Sorry I can't choose some obscure wrestling show noone has heard of outside of a few hundred people online.
ReplyDeleteThey could've done something neat with the Andre battle royal by having Big Show win it for like 5 years in a row, essentially making it the new Streak, then having some young up and comer dump him when Show is ready to retire or at least stop wrestling regularly.
ReplyDeleteA remake changing the surroundings to be about a wrestling fan is a legit great idea.
ReplyDeleteLove Piper's pre match promo about giving up tiddly winks and dating girls if he lost to T, but he'd never give up Ace. Dial back on the coke, Roddy.
ReplyDeleteHas anything interesting happened on Raw in the past couple years other than Bryan turning on Bray?
ReplyDelete5 years of Big Show winning, NO!
ReplyDeleteAndre won battle royals for decades. Built it up like that.
ReplyDeleteCelebrity guest commentator booed out of the building. I guess Chicago's always been this way.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea, and completely believable. I always said in surprised some wrestling obsessed nut hasn't shot Triple H by now.
ReplyDeleteI give the first 2 Wrestlemanias a pass and can't judge them as being bad as they were trying new things and finding their feet. The idea of a mega show on PPV didn't really kick off until Wrestlemania 3 and even then the idea of PPV being the big show didn't really settle until a few years after.
ReplyDeleteI also think he's a decent worker for his size. I don't get all his hate online. He's had a pretty good 20 year run if I could say so. He's a shoe in for the hall of fame.
ReplyDeleteRikidozan was killed by a fan in Japan if I recall.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the concept but not the person, having someone like Ryback or Cesaro have a winning streak would be great.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what you're referring to.
ReplyDeleteI'd have no problem with him going in. Who inducts him though?
ReplyDeleteYeah, 1 and 2 are basically goofy gimmick celebrity shows.
ReplyDeleteI'd base it on an obsessed Roman Reigns fan.
ReplyDeleteMost of the shows listed used to get major ratings and ran for years if nor decades, it's not like people are suggesting Velocity.
ReplyDeleteI like that idea. The only purpose it serves is to get a bunch of guys on the show anyway so it's not like Show winning every year would be holding others back or whatever.
ReplyDeleteFake boxing matches are dumb. This isn't Rocky, just make them wrestle. T wrestled last year.
ReplyDeleteJakked, motherfucker!
ReplyDeleteSo Vince?
ReplyDeleteNah, Metal was far better
ReplyDeleteJohn Cena? Hulk Hogan? Those would be my top two picks to induct him.
ReplyDeleteWould certainly boost his win loss record at Mania. What is he currently? 2-10 or something?
ReplyDelete1 was like an average house show until the Cyndi Lauper match and the main event
ReplyDeleteIt's on hulu plus
ReplyDeleteI liked when Show was the Anti Taker, and then they threw away his streak in a pointless tag team match, when it could have been used for a real storyline, such as the Cody Rhodes feud.
ReplyDeleteI have no problem with the ending to the battle royale. What I have a problem with is what they did with Cesaro afterwards. Made the whole battle royale a waste.
ReplyDeleteI have a tie for No. 1 - WCW Saturday Night and Shotgun Saturday Night.
ReplyDeleteYup. Standard 80s MSG house show but with CELEBRITIES!
ReplyDeleteI miss the Saturday night jobber shows.
ReplyDeleteI think he Facebook friended me.
ReplyDeleteI think we might up to the date where they trot out legends to praise Reigns. It has to be getting close at least.
ReplyDeleteKane.
ReplyDeletePrimetime. After that I'd check out some Mid South.
ReplyDeleteOther than that, whatever.
Not that I get the network though, so in truth I don't care.
I have no problem with Big Show having a Jericho-type deal. Just wrestle house shows, let the people see how large his skillet-sized hands are in person, maybe bring him on TV a couple times a year to put over a younger guy.
ReplyDeleteHell, do that with Big Show, Kane, Randy Orton, Mark Henry, Chris Jericho, John Cena... and occasionally tape the matches to air exclusively on the Network. Call it "WWE Legends Tour".
Holy overdub!
ReplyDeleteThe world championship wrestling shows they ran on 24/7
ReplyDeleteRyback is NXT alum.
ReplyDeleteI always think of the first 4 matches of Wrestlemania as a basic guide for the newer fans so they can understand what's going on, before they get to the big matches.
ReplyDeleteThat's why we got a submission, draw, pinfall, DQ and quick victory all at the start of the show.
And Alfred Hayes awful backstage bits.
ReplyDeleteFitta unfriended me on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteGod he was SO BAD. Looked like he never stepped foot in front of a camera until that day.
ReplyDeleteAre there any books out there about the NWA or the NWA title that don't suck?
ReplyDeleteLesnar is scheduled to be on. If he doesn't show... could be interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis one is awesome and can be easily found for free online. It is more about the very old days though. http://www.amazon.com/National-Wrestling-Alliance-Monopoly-Strangled/dp/1550227416
ReplyDeleteOf the back of the discussion over the WM2 Boxing Match.
ReplyDeleteHas there EVER been a "boxing" match on a Wrestling PPV that was decent?
5,000 * $15 = $75,000.
ReplyDeleteThat's nothing to sneeze at.
"Now let us hear...from those two participants...in the match tonight...tonight's match up...let us hear...comments...from those two".
ReplyDeleteI'm paraphrasing, but probably not by much.
Butterbean knocking Bart Gunn out cold at wrestlemania had to be the best one.
ReplyDeleteIf you weren't marching with the president, you were America's enemy.
ReplyDeleteToday Congress brings in other heads of state to criticize the president.
Contest NXT and Developmental NXT are not considered the same thing.
ReplyDeleteNow quite wrestling related, but I loved when he fought Knoxville on Jackass. Knoxville introduces them, Butterbean is all super happy, then Knoxville says it's time to fight, and Butterbean's face immediately snaps to "I'm going to murder you"
ReplyDeleteJohnny b Badd and Arn Anderson grill the first uncensored.
ReplyDeleteWhile the wrestlers walk past him.
ReplyDelete
