WM19 or what?!
ReplyDeleteWatch me slowly lose my mind as as my BoD Fantasy Hockey playoff hopes slip away!
ReplyDeleteAt the top of the hour.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to decide whether to keep watching 26 on the live stream, or go get that alcohol I was too lazy to get earlier and join the WM19 party.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the party, pal.
ReplyDeleteThis is the second time I'm watching 26 on the live stream. I'm too lazy to change it.
ReplyDelete"I am not left-handed either."
ReplyDeleteYou are still up by 12
ReplyDeleteSomebody send Goldust over for the Shatter Dreams.
ReplyDeleteFor all the folks just now making their way to the BoD today, we got a WMXIX group watch going on at the top of the hour. That way, it'll be easy for late comers and those who started it earlier to know where we are in the show. Should be fun cause WMXIX rules
ReplyDeleteAnother damn inferno match? Wonder how hot that fire makes the ring?
ReplyDeleteHey. Saw this shirt today and thought of your guys.

ReplyDeleteJust uploaded the 12/6/86 edition of Superstars. I'm going to attempt to get the Wrestling Challenge ep from the same weekend up later.
This episode has SD Jones taking on IC champ Randy Savage in a non-title match; Koko B. Ware is in action; Paul Roma faces Adrian Adonis; the great Jose Luis Rivera will take on Hercules; Salvatore Bellomo gets eaten by Kamala; the feature has Billy Jack Haynes teaming with The Rougeau Brothers against the team of Dino Bravo & The Dream Team in six man action; plus, George Steele & The Junkyard Dog are on Piper's Pit; there are vignettes for Blackjack Mulligan and Outback Jack; The Honky Tonk Man, in response to his negative vote of confidence by the WWF fans, announces a new manager; Gene Okerlund gets on update on Ricky Steamboat when he speaks to Steamboat's wife, Bonnie; and Jesse Ventura speaks with WWF President Jack Tunney about the reinstatement of Andre the Giant, and the "bizarre" hearing that took place.
Soon Stephanie makes her first appearance on tv and becomes one of the main reasons my interest in the product slowly evaporates.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to remember why I only ever watched 26 once. XIX it is.
ReplyDeleteJust watched 19 a couple weeks ago so I'm going to pass on the live watch
ReplyDeleteIt's really tough watching early 2000 Smackdowns with HHH and Stephanie in charge knowing that fifteen years later it's the same thing but way way worse
ReplyDeleteFinished bingewatching the wire earlier today. It's weird watching that show 10 years later with the technology and the issues/characters brought up on the shows. Example: presidential candidate martin o'malley is based on tommy carcetti. Because I teach middle school, season 4 is my favorite.
ReplyDeletePeople heading over to the house I think so I might miss the XIX fun, which blows because that Mania has the greatest crowd in the history of shows! Ever!
ReplyDeleteI do have this golden nugget to share though:
"Thousands of years ago they were far more debaucherous than your average porn film, but I mean today, in civilized places. Is the average 19 year old male at college doing things because he saw them in porn, or is porn doing what the average 19 year old male at college is doing?
I know for myself the sex I've had is all very porn influenced, and very freaking awesome, but I don't know if I would have reached that point without it, without the inspiration. And I wonder if everyone else is like that as well."
He's a treasure.
He's like a never ending fountain of anti-wisdom.
ReplyDeleteTell them to stay home.
ReplyDeleteYup in fact my buddies are here right now, enjoy a wonderful Mania BOD probably see ya drunk later haha
ReplyDeleteAnyone here who ever makes fun of Canada again...well, ya'll have Caliber.
ReplyDeleteAnd you have too many moose.
ReplyDeleteMoose are majestic animals, you barbarian!
ReplyDeleteWe always have these daily Night threads, but we nevee talk about Night
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think he's a nerd
So who here's left doing the WM viewing?
ReplyDeleteDid you ever have a student slash another student in class?!
ReplyDeleteI think he has too many moose in his home country.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he should take them to the Dungeon to stretch them
ReplyDeleteCalhouns! All ya'll are Calhouns!!!
ReplyDeleteSo is Newfoundland Canadas version of the deep South?
ReplyDeleteA Fountain of Misinformation, if you weeeelllll?
ReplyDeletethank goodness no. my school is 85% minority (80% latino) but we have a really good group of kids. the school 3 miles away from mine had students stabbed though. Heard one story (from a colleague who taught there) of one kid who was stabbed in the lunch line by a rival gang member
ReplyDeleteHmm. I don't think I'd say that.
ReplyDeleteAlberta is more Canada's bible belt.
I find it a lot more enjoyable because stood up to Steph and she even looked weak on a semi-regular basis.
ReplyDeleteFun fact: Rock's dad Rocky Johnson is from Nova Scotia.
ReplyDeleteEver since I watched that clip of Trevor Murdoch singing on Raw I haven't been able to get Friends in Low Places out of my head.
ReplyDeleteYour minority is far from the minority.
ReplyDeleteHey art, watch wm19 with us.
ReplyDeleteStarted.
ReplyDeleteSharted
ReplyDeleteJust for fun, I'll post some select quotes from Scott's original 2003 rant of this show, where he was pretty meh about it. Heh heh heh.
ReplyDeleteStarting XIX...again.
ReplyDeleteWe kind of told you to hold up before...
ReplyDeleteDID YOU KNOW
ReplyDeleteThat Roman Reigns is part of that family?!
He wants to do his Samoan heritage proud at WM!
So nice, you have to see it twice!
ReplyDeleteDammit Titus, grow up. This isn't a damned Adam Sandler movie.
ReplyDelete"Roman Reigns is Samoan" is the new "'Daughter of WWE HoF'er Jimmy Snuka' Tamina Snuka"
ReplyDeleteIt's just as over.
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched this in several years and first time since it aired I'm not watching it on a shitty VHS copy. Is it sad I'm probably more excited for this than actually going to Mania in two weeks?
ReplyDeleteAs in "please let this be over"
ReplyDeleteHo I know XIX isn't one of them, but how many shows has at least four matches that Scott's rated ****? I assume GAB 89 and X7 are two of them.
ReplyDeleteThis is a cool as fuck venue.
ReplyDeleteLike a nice boob
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a good argument for stadium shows.
ReplyDeleteCrack Addict... the hit that never was.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure there's a non-X7 show in the 00-01 run that did.
ReplyDeleteDidn't even make their album that year
ReplyDeleteThat was a fun article.
ReplyDeleteI'd normally be down but I don't have the network and my XIX dvd is elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteSummerSlam '02?
ReplyDeleteI miss Rey's superhero outfits
ReplyDeleteI also miss healthy, slim, Rey
MATT FACT: MATT IS FUCKING CRAZY
ReplyDeleteMATT LOVES GRAPES
Well, Boston can now say it has endured the snowiest winter in its recorded history this year. Currently sitting at 108+ inches.
ReplyDeleteI want to pop open a bottle of champagne.
Full screen entrances need to come back
ReplyDeleteso if reigns wins the title, will he be finally allowed in the locker room?
ReplyDeleteI can never look away from that stupid Kellmania sign
ReplyDeleteHI CARISSA!
ReplyDeleteI feel almost embarrassed how big a mark I was for Matt V1 now that he's certified nuts.
ReplyDeleteDriving down the street today and I saw a billboard of Roman Reigns playing with his daughter. Who exactly is that going to appeal to? Nothing wrong with the message, but I just don't get what they are doing with him
ReplyDeleteThe real Paul Cicero from Goodfellas looks like Gorilla Monsoon
ReplyDeletehttp://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/organizedcrimeencyclopedia/images/a/a6/Paul_Vario.png/revision/latest?cb=20100808203231
The angle of Matt having to cut weight to make 220 was fun. IIRC, they had him pass out during a match.
ReplyDeleteThat's a face that makes you go "Now I gotta turn my back"
ReplyDeleteBacklash 2000 has a case. The main event, Jericho/Benoit, Scotty/Deano, damn so close. The E&C/DX tag is a shade under the **** level.
ReplyDeleteRey is fucking fast here. Forgot about how quick he could be at one time.
ReplyDeleteSAMOAN IS SAMOAN FOR FAMILY
ReplyDeletehas there been a 3-hour+ american ppv with all 3-star matches and above?
ReplyDeleteCanadian Stampede in '97, right?
ReplyDeleteFrau that want to bang him
ReplyDeleteSo cheer for this guy that leaves his kid at home for 300 days a year
ReplyDeleteIt's weird seeing Rey not fat as shit here
ReplyDeleteThey had a YouTube clip of the same and one of the comments was "Oh my god, my ovaries can't handle this."
ReplyDeletewow that's funny
ReplyDeleteThose commercials were kinda cute when he was a badass in the Shield. Now I imagine it would just come across as obnoxious.
ReplyDeleteThat's NORTH American
ReplyDeleteBut not TRUE AMERICAN, USA USA USA USA
Wasn't three hours
ReplyDeleteAlso wasn't AMERICA FUCK YEAH
ReplyDeleteJimmy the Gent thinks you insulted him a lil bit. You were a little out of order.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know he made commercials. Let me check it out real quick
ReplyDeleteJudgment Day 2000 comes close depending on how much you like Big Show/Shane and the Dudley Table Match.
ReplyDeleteI heard about that.
ReplyDeleteApparently they had to blue his daughter out b/c she wasn't giving him a positive reaction and didn't think he was ready to play tea party
2003 Scott: "Weak finish, and giving them 5 minutes on a 4-hour PPV? Pretty disappointing match. *"
ReplyDeleteI'm 13 minutes away from clinching the last BoD playoff spot! Up 6 points.
ReplyDeleteOk, that was a cute commercial, but that was probably the first time he had seen his daughter in 5 months
ReplyDeleteChange of mind #537 for the day: my Roku remote was outside of arms' reach, so I'm just sticking with WM 26 tonight.
ReplyDeleteI didn't insult anybody!
ReplyDeleteUSA
ReplyDeleteUSA
USA
Pretty low rating.
ReplyDeleteHe low balled everythung on this show. 2012 Scott was pretty aghast.
ReplyDeleteThat commercial is probably the YouTube clip I was talking about.
ReplyDeleteThey had one with del Rio, too
ReplyDeleteI thought Pete Campbell was weird. Vincent Kartheiser is even creepier as Connor.
ReplyDeleteBiker Taker + Limp Bizkit. 2001 called and they said they're sick and tired of you!
ReplyDelete#firstworldproblems
ReplyDeleteDamn, it's amazing what weather can do for your mood. Why can't it stay like this forever? I think I'm ready to make that move to California. One of you SoCalendars are going to have to let me crash til I get on my feet.
ReplyDeleteWho's playing Viktor?
ReplyDeleteI just looked one of them up, and the first comment I see is...
ReplyDelete"Fuck Faggot Reigns. Joelle you have a worthless no talent supermodel faggot for a father."
ok, let me check that one out
ReplyDelete"If youse don't tells us where the money is you'll be literally hangin' from the rafters, capisce?"
ReplyDeleteThis whole performance is so early 2000s it hurts
ReplyDeleteYoutube commenters are never ones to disappoint. I give ESPN commenters the edge though cause they post under their real names.
ReplyDeleteI clicked on a Benoit thread from 2012 for shits and giggles and saw someone say Benoit did the murders because he was depressed about his career ending.
ReplyDeleteAll the lolz.
The best conspiracy theory was that Sullivan did it and framed Benoit
ReplyDeleteAlso, the cop-out with Nathan Jones was such a fuckin gyp after they spent so much time getting everyone all worked up and excited for his debut.
ReplyDeleteHe had a nice theme.
ReplyDeleteIt's bogus that conference champs have to do that stupid play-in game. That should be for bubble teams.
ReplyDeleteAlbert was (and is) always just such an oaf.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like every major event at Levis Stadium is doomed to have thousands of empty seats.
ReplyDeleteWoot pizza on the way
ReplyDeletePapa Johns?
ReplyDeleteThe match was incredibly smooth right up until the abrupt finish.
ReplyDeleteSafeco Field with 50,000 looks more than the recent WMs with 70,000.
ReplyDeleteTRISSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
ReplyDeleteI was surprised at all the empty seats in the left field bleachers
ReplyDelete2003 Scott: "Apparently they’re STILL hedging their bets with Nathan Jones, as they chicken out and shoot an injury angle on Heat to take him out of the match. Why even bother? I mean, seriously, this is becoming a running gag almost. A-Train establishes his heeldom by ADJUSTING UNDERTAKER’S MIRROR before the match. That BASTARD"
ReplyDeleteMountain Mike's. Amazing shit.
ReplyDeleteI hear that part of the bay is just crazy expensive with all the tech people driving all the prices up. If an event doesn't cater to them then who else is going to go? WrestleMania is an exception but only cause the product isn't hot.
ReplyDeleteNathan Jones floored Show as fast as Brad Pitt killed him in Troy
ReplyDeleteSerena... Damn, can't believe I didn't already have "bald chick" on my women-to-bang bucket list.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about Mania, but 49er games are completely out of hand.
ReplyDeleteTwo matches into 19, 2003 Scott has them at a combined *3/4.
ReplyDeleteI always appreciated Trish showing a little thigh.
ReplyDelete11-0 shout from Cole. It's like its some kind of Streak
ReplyDeleteHoly shit, they are showing Eric Bischoff's audition for the WWE way back in 88. I love the network.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I've also heard the bay area is expensive. Building it in Santa Clara and not in San Francisco wasn't a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI seem to remember the Undertaker match being surprisingly entertaining.
ReplyDeleteStacy and Torrie, zzzz
ReplyDeleteWho did UT face at WM 19?
ReplyDeleteMy mania tickets were $200 each in the lower bowl. I think the cheapest seats were $40.
ReplyDeleteBig Show and Albert
ReplyDeleteThat's actually good subtle heeling. Touching a guy's bike is not done.
ReplyDeleteShow and A-Train. He was supposed to tag with Nathan Jones, but he was green as turtle shit and was removed
ReplyDeleteHomemade pastrami is done... good god is that satisfying. Delayed gratification folks... the secret to happiness.
ReplyDeleteIt's dull but not actively bad, they had some good big moves, but it's a pretty plodding oaf match
ReplyDeleteDid he completely squash both of them?
ReplyDeleteTrish's outfit is like a half inch from showing side vag.
ReplyDeleteKinda. Nathan Jones interfered on his behalf.
ReplyDeleteGoddamn Jazz is ripped as shit.
ReplyDeleteNo, it was a pretty even 10-minute match.
ReplyDeleteeven though I'm a bruin, them being an 11-seed with no playin game is a joke
ReplyDeleteDubbed over TATU theme. Cheap ass WWE
ReplyDeleteLady and the Clamp - Hardware for Her
ReplyDeleteMan, I love Bob's Burgers.
Was it 88? I thought it was 1990 after the AWA closed shop.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lazy overdub of the Russian Lesbian song. The instrumental's basically the same, only plays out of one audio channel, and you can still hear the original song anyway!
ReplyDeleteA rare sight, a male valet for a Diva. Stevie was a good fit for Victoria.
ReplyDelete"I'm Rando, and these are the McCracken brothers, Phil and Odie"
ReplyDelete"Hell-"
"Odie hush!"
The Six Scallion Dollar Man Burger. Heh.
ReplyDelete88 or 89 but definitely before 90.
ReplyDeleteRey's silly Avatar costume at 26 kinda undermines the seriousness of this angle with Punk.
ReplyDeleteI do that kind of audio scrubbing all the time at my job; I'm kinda marking out that I know how to do that
ReplyDeleteIs that the entrance where his launch pad got stuck and he had to climb out?
ReplyDeleteHey, remember when the chicks on the MAIN show could actually wrestle?
ReplyDeleteHoly shit, how did I not know that??
ReplyDelete/Nova Scotian.
Aside from the sloppy forearms Trish Stratus had a really cool moveset.
ReplyDeleteThey're talking about why Hogan/Flair never happened. Interview Gene and Hulk who both didn't know. HOW ABOUT ASKING THE FUCKING OWNER?
ReplyDeleteTrying to decide if I'm up for watching this Laettner thing, but it's just going to make me hate him more.
ReplyDeleteGod good, as far as characters go... Victoria was outstanding.
ReplyDeleteYou'd think that in eight and a half years since Trish left they'd have found a diva almost as over as Trish but they really haven't. It's sad how the Division is ruled by the Bellas
ReplyDeleteYep. It's pretty interesting that Victoria and Jazz are ripped as hell and Trish has the yoga frame
ReplyDeleteGod I hate those forearms
ReplyDeleteIt should be for all 11-12 seeds, whatever the lowest bubble teams are.
ReplyDeleteVictoria during the TATU days was awesome. Women's division in 2002-03 really deserves more credit. Good wrestling, good storylines, was seriously the best part of many shows those days.
ReplyDeleteI would pay to see Eva Marie attempt the Widow's Peak.
ReplyDeleteThey're sucking the right dicks
ReplyDeleteUm... night games?
ReplyDeleteHm, I never heard of that and didn't notice it, but Google is saying it is.
ReplyDeleteShe tried to keep those limited as years went on. She played to her strengths. THe skanks in the company today could learn from that
ReplyDeleteIts divas wrestling, it doesn't make a fucking who rules it.
ReplyDeleteYeah I loved the division back then. I love Molly
ReplyDeleteWell when you bang two of the most popular guys and all.
ReplyDeleteTara was even better - better wrestler and talker.
ReplyDeleteFinding someone like Trish isn't easy, though. That balance of model hot and great athlete.
ReplyDeleteWaiting for "ESPN 30 for 30: 'I Hate Christian Laettner' "
ReplyDeleteJellystone Bears now only has Torey Krug and Cody Franson to get 6 points. Think I'm gonna pull this out...
ReplyDeleteVictoria has a see through circle on the asscheek of her outfit. Because she's a kook!
ReplyDeleteBut they're SO off in finding it.
ReplyDeleteI think all 12 seeds are bubble teams or should be. Making them all play for it seems fair.
ReplyDeleteThey got lucky. Turning Trish heel is what made her great.
ReplyDeleteJazz has the "kill bitches dead" attitude that's sorely missing with the current crop.
ReplyDeleteShe was pretty damn over before the turn but that was great too.
ReplyDeletePlus Trish was actually a wrestling fan before WWF. WWE rarely even look for those types on the main roster.
ReplyDeleteI could see Sasha Banks filling it if they played it right.
ReplyDeleteVictoria does the HBK de-pants roll up to a huge pop LOLOLOL
ReplyDeleteGIFS NOW!
ReplyDeleteOF SASHA!
ReplyDeleteShe had the look and ability...the heel turn gave her the attitude.
ReplyDeleteStevie hits himself with a chair and eats a Stratusfaction. What a pro.
ReplyDeleteAnthony Davis is a block and 3 assists away from a quadruple double.
ReplyDeleteGood little women's match and it's almost bizarre to see a chick get a pop. Bellas wish they could get that kind of reaction
ReplyDelete
