Anyone here a Miami Heat fan?
ReplyDeleteROAR
ReplyDeleteFinally home with two full days off upcoming. Yay.

ReplyDeleteUm...
No mention of the ROH PPV? LOL
ReplyDeleteMandy has some nice Leons
You look at Ashley Flair in 2008 and NEVER, EVER, EVER think that she would go on to become the freakish athlete she's transformed into.
ReplyDeleteAnybody want to do a ppv or something tonight? I ain't gotta work tomorrow and plan on getting high and drunk as a skunk tonight.
ReplyDeleteA PPV featuring Marty Jannetty so you're not alone in doing so.
ReplyDeleteHouse of Cards all night til bed time. I ain't gots to work at all for the rest of the week.
ReplyDeleteWrestlemania XXIV is by no means a blow-away show, but compared to what WWE has offered in the last 12 months it's a gold mine.
ReplyDelete"BOOYAKASHA!" - Local malt liquor retailers
ReplyDeleteI was on unemployment for a year so I can feel where you're coming from. I didn't miss working at all during that time.
ReplyDeleteWilliam Regal introduces Umaga, of course. "UMANGA!!!"
ReplyDeleteThey iz dead
ReplyDeleteI just thought "Fuck it, I'll give it a chance." So it's ordered, and off we go...
ReplyDeleteAnd RoH is already screwing up the production. Sigh.
Who are these guys on the Lakers?
ReplyDeleteI finished off Season 3 last night (huzzah for another twelve months until Season 4 returns!), and without spoiling too much this whole run felt like a giant placeholder for next year. Nothing really interesting of note happens until the very end, and the show definitely needs to get some of its mojo back. Elizabeth Marvel just doesn't do anything for me at all, and she's probably a major player moving forward through the next season; that doesn't help matters much.
ReplyDeleteUpvote for Bobby Fish waxing his stache
ReplyDeleteDid you quit your job?
ReplyDeleteCorino and Kelly? Well, I've seen worse...
ReplyDeleteHahahah ROH Spanish announce team
ReplyDeleteCorino seems like a decent guy but I am just not a fan of his in the ring or on commentary.
ReplyDeleteCorino is hilarious
ReplyDeleteWell, they kept it close at least.
ReplyDelete411 is home to some of the most idiotic and fickle bunch of people known to man. I hate it.
ReplyDeleteLet's just say we had a difference of opinion over the direction we were taking. I wanted to continue running a newspaper. My corrupt assclown of a boss wanted to push advertising and promote his buddies.
ReplyDeleteFuck him and his fucking idiot decisions. I'm better than all of it.
While details are still pretty scarce regarding the blow-up between Brock Lesnar and Vince McMahon at last Monday's WWE RAW, a little more information has become available.
ReplyDeleteApparently the argument between Lesnar and McMahon, which as reported recently revolved around negotiating a new deal with WWE, was so bad that some actually became concerned for McMahon.
While the specific issue that resulted in the blow-up is unknown at the moment, there have been some issues as of late with WWE's recent talent contracts. It's said that when you come to a verbal agreement with the company, when you get the physical contract, the language in it doesn't match the agreement you reached. Additionally, there are other issues such as very lengthy non-competes.
Things got bad enough that at this past Tuesday night's SmackDown television taping, the WWE writers asked McMahon if they should write an alternate version of WrestleMania 31 that doesn't include Lesnar at all, just in case things get worse. McMahon reportedly said no, and alluded to the fact that he would sue Lesnar if he refused to work the show and live up to his current deal with the company.
Speaking of his current deal, if he doesn't finish out the remainder of the contract, it's likely that he would be in breach, unless there are unknown extenuating circumstances.
Never ever ever read comments over there. Ever.
ReplyDelete411 comment section is a septic tank.
ReplyDeleteDo you have anything lined up?
ReplyDeleteI was under the impression that S3 was the last season of the show. There's going to be a fourth season?
ReplyDeleteEvan Bourne should've been set for years as a kid-favorite underdog.
ReplyDeleteVince tried to enforce a no compete clause which wasn't a part of the originally agreed upon terms. Vince is forcing Lesnar's hand and doing what Vince does best, fuck it all up and blame others.
ReplyDeleteIt makes conversations here between Worst in the World and Vince Jordan seem productive.
ReplyDeleteI'm taking a couple of days to decompress, then getting back into the swing of reaching out to people to see if I can call in any favors tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI had just realized Spring Training was going on. Either the fact that the weather being so awful that I forget baseball will be here in just over a month or that I am losing interest in baseball is the reason. I think it is the former though.
ReplyDeleteTop guys ought to just hire agents again. I know there's some sort of taboo on that now, but fuck that. If I'm a top guy, Vince can discuss terms with my representation and I'll just come work.
ReplyDeleteYeah, so did I. There'll be a fourth. Season 3 was as unbelievable as the others...there has to be some way to put forth a ruthless politician character and have it retain SOME resemblance to reality.
ReplyDeleteFucking tired already. Ran around all weekend doing stuff
ReplyDeleteSydal must've been hitting the K2 hard to get that haircut.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you guys find an ROH stream?
ReplyDeleteIn what universe can Vince McMahon force Brock Lesnar to appear at WrestleMania by suing the guy? It's not like the court system would drop everything it's doing to facilitate a speedy civil lawsuit; the guy wouldn't see the inside of a court room for at least a year.
ReplyDeleteSame with Ryder
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine how pissed Joey and Tazz must have been over only getting sole call of a 3-second match.
ReplyDeletePPV, son. A little pricey at $35, but fuck it, I can put some money behind a chance.
ReplyDeleteThe main issue is that baseball is boring and each season takes 3 years.
ReplyDeleteI've been unable to watch baseball regularly for the last five or six years, so I've sadly been falling away from it. It hurts too because baseball was big in my family for years and years (my parents were fans of the Reds and Red Sox respectively - got married in June '75, almost divorced in October of that year).
ReplyDeleteHoo boy. Well, it's been 27 years since we had a tournament to determine the new champion at WrestleMania, guess it's time for another one!
ReplyDeleteSecond round kicks off with a Roman Reigns-Daniel Bryan rematch, giving both of them a bye out of the first round.
Holy shit! Bullet Club at King of Trios - AJ/Bucks. Damnit, Quack, I think you got my money again!
ReplyDeleteYep, sure. Although admittedly I had a idea for both that would've turned them both heel and revitalized the waste they'd become, but.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the video production like for a ROH shows these days? Still over lit and incorrectly white balanced? That shit used to drive me insane on the DVDs way back when.
ReplyDeleteI haven't followed baseball since I was a little kid.
ReplyDeleteHavent watched any wrestling since RAW, not even any older WWF shows that I review. I think wrestling is passing me by and the current product is just awful. I try to look for positives but they have decided to kill off Daniel Bryan so someone who is less over can take his spot and all of the other nonsensical decisions they make just boggle my mind.
ReplyDeleteA's all day
ReplyDeleteSteiner v Flair... Great Match despite the few blown spots and non finish ***3/4
ReplyDeleteThat opening video package...the old WCW crew looked like WWE in comparison, the money difference of course considered.
ReplyDeleteIt's not bad IMO, the ballroom they're in gives a nice ambiance to the event.
ReplyDeleteI watch the playoffs a bit for pitching and view ballparks as bars. My local tavern does an annual bus trip out to Busch Stadium and I gorge on nachos and beer. I generally forget who won.
ReplyDeleteWhen was the last time wwe had any tournament on ppv (even if it's just a 4man and wm 30 doesn't count)?
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way. I've been going through WWF 1991 and it's like a breath of fresh air compared to today's product.
ReplyDeleteThe WWE are doing everything they can to make sure no other wrestling company can compete with them. This is all this is.
ReplyDeleteKOTR 2002?
ReplyDeleteKing if the Ring 2002?
ReplyDeleteYou and I seem to be in the same boat.
ReplyDeleteAfter last Sunday night (and the following evening on RAW), it dawned on me that the WWE had completely killed my interest in Daniel Bryan as a character. I dig his matches still, but I lost the will to be pissed off about the guy any longer. When my fandom for Bryan died, I realized I had nothing left that tied me to the product. It was sobering to think that after 25 years of watching wrestling, I could just drop it and not care anymore, but there it is.
THIS IS TWO STARS chant
ReplyDeleteThings that were Awesome as a Kid But Even More Awesome as an Adult: Calvin and Hobbes.
ReplyDeleteTHAT was a beautiful false finish.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting the same way right now. I used to watch the Network 8-10 hours a week and have gone most weeks watching it zero.
ReplyDeleteWhat match?
ReplyDeleteTrying to watch international incident on The Network and it just freezes every 20 seconds. I don't care if it's a bad show, I've never seen it and I want to.
ReplyDeleteAs someone who owns their complete collection, absolutely.
ReplyDeleteIn the last few months I've caught Survivor Series, Rumble, and I caved and watched Fast Lane at the last minute but ended up doing chores during the show. Raw is way off my radar at this point.
ReplyDeleteIf you're a fan of pitching, you're in the right era. This whole upcoming season feels like a pitcher's wet dream.
ReplyDeleteI watch a LoW roundtable and it kept freezing. Blecch
ReplyDeleteAlexander/Sydal as the opener.
ReplyDelete"We're not in the wrestling business, damn it! It's sports entertainment!"
ReplyDelete- Vince
Wow 13 years
ReplyDeleteIt seems I have completely moved on to NFL.
ReplyDeleteHis contract is per appearance, right?
ReplyDeleteBuy a ticket to several shows and just sit there. Bring the belt with you. You're appearing. And I bet anything WWE would not be able to hold themselves back from showing him on camera.
Go to RAW, Smackdown. Hell, show up in the crowd at NXT. That should finish up his appearances pretty damn quick and screws Vince over for WrestleMania.
At this point, he deserves it.
Thank something for NJPW.
ReplyDeleteSamurai Jack.
ReplyDeleteSolid opener, after a little sloppy at the start. ***
ReplyDeleteAt what point should the WWE wrestlers start taking blame for how shitty the product is? They have voices. Some of the guys have some pull. Why not speak up?
ReplyDeleteI was super turned off from the NFL this year, my least favorite NFL season since I started watching it as a kid.
ReplyDeleteMan, that is a DISGUSTING haircut, lol.
ReplyDeleteOvechkin with 2 so far. Caps have played like shit last 2 games.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great way to the unemployment line in Vinceland.
ReplyDeleteCedric is great, I hope they give a strap soon.
ReplyDeleteIt should start with the guy in your avatar.
ReplyDeleteI blame Kane every day.
ReplyDeleteIt's almost as if they're playing a team where everyone is looking for a ticket out of town.
ReplyDeleteFoley basically said this about Bryan after he won the belt.
ReplyDeleteI lied, am watching ROH PPV. Sydal and Alexander open with good match. cool set up to the finish
ReplyDelete***1/4
Have there been any notable podcasts lately?
ReplyDeleteQuite literally.
ReplyDeleteHow did Sydal look
ReplyDeleteCause they are weak about it and don't want to rock the boat.
ReplyDeletePat Patterson on Jericho was good
ReplyDeleteStream or ppv buy?
ReplyDeleteAny of you guys listen to the Wrestling Quiz Show from PTBN? Its pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteHis hair looks decent.
ReplyDeleteCedric is a B at everything and an A at nothing.
ReplyDeleteI think he needs a heel turn or something because he has peaked in this run
Like human broccoli.
ReplyDeleteWhy should the hired talent take the blame for the decisions of the higher-ups? They are paid to do what they're told.
ReplyDeleteLike Matt Damon.
ReplyDeleteAll of these news bits about Lesnar and Vince having a stormy meeting should dispel the notion that Brock Lesnar is resigning with the WWE, or that he will retain the title at WrestleMania. Vince is prepared to walk through Hell in a gasoline suit before he backs down again on Roman Reigns.
ReplyDeleteI'd say this match makes a nice step on that heel turn road.
ReplyDeletehmmmmm nah!
ReplyDeleteHe was playing for the Falcons, let's not call THAT professional football.
ReplyDeleteWhile running today, I was watching some youtube clips of Bryan: The chants in Seattle, him destroying Bray in the cage, the "Monster" promo, and him winning the title. They had a real chance to turn Bryan into a once in a lifetime guy.
ReplyDeleteA year later and he's basically Dolph Ziggler.
I want to buy PPV but I'm at uni residence. Cable isn't an option. I'll buy a dvd or something to make equivalence
ReplyDeleteI assume last night's reaction with Rousey winning in 14 was hilarious?
ReplyDeleteShut up Mark, go to your blog of doom.
ReplyDeleteGreat shape, like he's getting back into the swing of things. his counters were aces
ReplyDeleteI think fans have lost their respect for him since he has been so willing to completely eat shit. Meanwhile Punk walked along with many others historically.
ReplyDeleteHellooooooooo, redheaded lady with some dude named Moose.
ReplyDeletefood.
ReplyDeleteThat's why she's my babe.
ReplyDeleteTen or so years ago, I was dating my girlfriend at the time and it was her birthday. I got her one of the books, thinking she would like it. Well, when she unwrapped it, she gave me a look like, "Really?" She wasn't at all exposed to the awesomeness of C & H at the time.
ReplyDeleteA week later, she told me she loved it and was now getting comics emailed to her daily.
ACH is better, and way more over.
ReplyDeleteHe should be getting a rocket push before Cedric
Veda Scott, she's hot.
ReplyDeleteI wish he retired.
ReplyDelete"Very nice, how much?"
ReplyDeleteYou know I just realized that motherfucking Sting is in the WWE and I couldn't care less about it.
ReplyDeleteSame with The Rock coming back.
I was like Eh, Whateva.
That's something I agree.
ReplyDeleteI guess it doesn't bother him? I would be fucking furious. I imagine he'd be waking way more money at the top.
ReplyDeleteOvi missing a wide open goal...damn.
ReplyDeleteHad it gone the other way and she wasn't a fan, you would have had to have ended it. And made sure everyone in the world knew she didn't like C&H.
ReplyDeleteSting is 10 years too late, even 5 years ago it might have been fun. He looks like Bruce Jenner and stinks of TNA badly.
ReplyDeleteI just realized that Cult and I have opposing goalies. If I can get both wins, I could win the week. And I need this win.
ReplyDeleteWhat if it was Curt Hennig?
ReplyDeleteI just miss R.D Evans
ReplyDeleteIn that "I could get myself together and get with someone like that" way.
ReplyDeleteThat's the worst way :(
Lol, WWE probably hopes he does too.
ReplyDeleteThat would probably require the return of Papa Shango.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way, but couple that with how they've treated Ziggler, Cesaro, and Ambrose. Hell, even Wyatt. They've done everything in their power to screw up each of these guys who could EASILY be future faces of the company.
ReplyDeleteI was seriously excited when the post-Mania RAW went off the air last year. All three Shield members as red-hot faces and Bryan as champion? Cesaro paired with Heyman? FUCK YES. I was in. It was gonna be all those guy's year.
-Then they paired Bryan with Kane, which is always a bad sign.
-Then Heyman spent most of his time talking about Brock instead of Cesaro. And Cesaro quickly became an after thought.
-Then The Shield broke up. Though admittedly, Rollins is probably the ONLY guy who the past year has been good for. He's consistently looked like a million bucks.
Fuck this company. They can go out of business now for all I care.
Moving On to Cabarnet and the sunday night feature:
ReplyDelete"THE PURGE: ANARCHY"
This might be the best the ROH roster has looked in 4 years or so. Production wise, it's the best they've ever looked.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'll ever root for a Briscoe, though.
Which could draw out the Warrior.
ReplyDeleteWell, this dude's athletic at least.
ReplyDeleteYeah he does.
ReplyDeleteI feel like if he doesn't care why should I, I'm sure other fans feel that way too.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I'll assume the Young Bucks haven't been called back to their planet yet. I will not support any organization that pays them a dime.
ReplyDeleteBoy Meets World. Yeah, the acting and stories were cheesy, and the humour was RIDICULOUSLY cheesy. But the jokes - cheesy as they are - hold up well. I'm probably biased because I love cheesy humour.
ReplyDeleteBOOOORED. Sick and hungry and bored. So I'm watching Simpsons on FXNow.
ReplyDeleteThere's a embellishment penalty in hockey? It's not just called diving?
ReplyDeleteThey should've let him be TV champion, he was OVER.
ReplyDeleteI hope they don't just start relying on past ROH stars but for an anniversary show it certainly looks stacked.
ReplyDeleteI miss when pro wrestlers were larger than life.
ReplyDeleteBasically the reason moose is tolerated.
ReplyDeleteGreen as goose shit but he clearly wants to be a wrestler not just a wwe payday, and the potential of his athleticism is very obvious
What happened to the Wrestlemania III review?
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you wanted one.
ReplyDeleteGimme 5 minutes.
I still can't believe it ... 14 seconds. I'm sorry Cat.
ReplyDelete\_0___/
ReplyDeleteEven daniel Bryan lasted 18 seconds
ReplyDeleteStill can't move well.
ReplyDeleteIs Survivor Series the best WWF show of 1996? I think it may be.
ReplyDeleteHe said a few times that he scored the lowest ever on their ambition scoring. I imagine he's just happy to be there, happy to be making that kind of money. I think I heard somewhere that he's disappointed, but he got his WrestleMania moment last year. And as Punk said, they can NEVER take that away from him. WrestleMania last year was undoubtedly ALL Bryan.
ReplyDeleteAnd then he looks his full greenness.
ReplyDeleteA lot of people would only last 14 seconds with Ronda, if you catch my drift.
ReplyDelete1 out of 3 ain't bad
ReplyDeleteThat's shorter than some guys masturbating. Just embarrassing.
ReplyDelete\_0___/ brother in the house!
ReplyDeleteKing of the ring is maybe competition.
ReplyDeleteBecause if they lose their job, where is there to go that gets them even the chance to make that much money? Nowhere. That's why many of them don't speak up.
ReplyDeleteI've listened to the two episodes so far, it's good fun but the production is a little shaky and some of the rounds need to be better thought out. I do like the name the card based on X number of matches round though.
ReplyDeleteNot sure why midge dated that Calhoun.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely.
ReplyDeleteBrock Lesnar is the only person in the business right now that's remotely close to that level. And honestly, that probably has more to do with his UFC run than it does his individual merit as a wrestler. John Cena has never gained that level, thanks to a goofy look and the absolutely stale character he's been riding for a decade-plus.
ReplyDeleteDon't do the flippy floppy immediately when hit by the spear, man.
ReplyDeleteWatching the wire season 3 and another walking dead person is on this show. Is rick grimes or the governor going to be the bad guy in season 4?
ReplyDeleteAt least 3 matches that are either 4 stars+ or pretty close on survivor series
ReplyDeleteIf you're single- don't get married. To quote Bo Dallas, "Women... They're mystical creatures."
ReplyDeleteAnd then they died in their 40's or 50's.
ReplyDeleteI thought it might be a mistake to give Moose control in the middle of the match....but there wasn't really an ebb and flow. This was just domination.
ReplyDeletePlayers get fined $500 if it's egregious.
ReplyDeleteWith how green he is domination is the only way they are getting him over
ReplyDeleteMark is a JTTS.
ReplyDeleteI don't think the governor was much of a factor on the show but my memory is a bit hazy.
ReplyDeleteFlair looks young and spry here in his "retirement" match by comparison.
ReplyDeleteJay's fall guy.
ReplyDeleteAND the redhead is evil too? Oooooh.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the move klaus does on american dad?
ReplyDelete**, but I'll admit to a little generosity in the rating. Also, Veda might be cute, but to hell with her.
ReplyDelete"99 Superkicks on a 25 disc set." Fuck it, I can't hate the little shits.
The sane of the Briscoes, Mark.
ReplyDeleteBlasphemy.
ReplyDeleteALL DAY. I had to try three different times to watch a Clash
ReplyDeleteYoung Bucks are love.
ReplyDeleteYoung Bucks are life.
I hope this Roman Reigns experiment fails miserably.
ReplyDelete**1/4
ReplyDeletePerfectly acceptable monster squash.
Young Bucks are the punk rock of wrestling.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be a gradual process. At least, he's surrounded by much better workers he can learn from than, say, Goldberg was.
ReplyDeleteThere's like 7 different tag teams on this card, this is weird.
ReplyDeleteHow long would larry zybysco last against Ronda Roussey?
ReplyDeleteHere comes the Kingzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....................
ReplyDeleteLike sexually?
ReplyDeleteLarry Legend can take anyone to at least 10 minutes with his stalling, right?
ReplyDeleteA trip to Larry Land.
ReplyDeleteGonna watch the stream while I eat some dinner and I turn on to find HBK V FLAIR!!
ReplyDeletethat'll do pig, that'll do.
Leave ROH Bennett, just leave!
ReplyDelete
