Arthur!
ReplyDeleteWords of inspiration to get you through life:

I'm super pumped for NXT tonight. And I REALLY hope it ends well.
ReplyDeleteWhat the fuck?
ReplyDeletehttps://twitter.com/SamoaJoe/status/601041616439255042
Genius.
ReplyDeleteSo Meltzer is teasing something HUGE for tonight.
ReplyDeletehttps://twitter.com/davemeltzerWON/status/601118122075037697
I wonder if it's even NXT related, or if it's some random MMA nonsense.
Love me some Dogbert.
ReplyDeleteWow, apparently Finn Balor didn't meet Vince McMahon until that San Jose show they did WM weekend. That is crazy.
ReplyDeleteBONERS
ReplyDeleteGreatest Book of The Old Testament?
ReplyDeleteAfter Ecclesiastes, nothing even deserves second place.
It's a video game based on a tv show based on a book.
ReplyDeleteYou can't really call anything nonsense in comparison to Sportz Entertainment.
ReplyDeleteExodus
ReplyDeleteI still feel we missed out by not casting Bryan Cranston as Lex Luthor.
ReplyDeleteSTABONES
ReplyDeleteWonder if he was in full makeup at the time.
ReplyDeleteSo, um... bein' inconvenienced, amirite?
ReplyDeleteI can't remember many times where casting directors ever go with the most obvious choice.
ReplyDeleteMusic for jah people.
ReplyDeleteParticularly for comic book movies.
ReplyDeleteOH SHIT, IT'S THE GOLD STANDARD!
ReplyDeleteLeft me with an empty feeling.
ReplyDeleteWHERE?!
ReplyDeleteHaha, Ryan Murphy killed his account
ReplyDeleteHow about casting him as Lex Luger?
ReplyDeleteSo I've decided that if I'm still around to get that $2000 bonus, I'm going to buy a new laptop, and if not, then I'm moving to Plano, TX.
ReplyDeleteHow long until Vince makes Renee Young upgrade to Double Ds
ReplyDeleteItami injury angle! Who'd a thunk it?
ReplyDeleteCranston going on a I DONT KNOW rant would be sweet.
ReplyDeleteGreat, we're gonna be inconvenienced b/c some hormonal dipshit killed his account
ReplyDeleteYes. And a suit, because those are the rules.
ReplyDeleteWas he the one who did the "drunk texting" gimmick?
ReplyDeleteWhoa, that was super cheesy.
ReplyDeleteUm... that shit just writes itself. Would have been incredible.
ReplyDeleteOwens should beat Byron's ass for that remark.
ReplyDeleteUgh, shut up Byron.
ReplyDeleteCorey Graves' jacket is pissing me off.
ReplyDeleteYes. It was horrible
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean, "People like Byron"?!
ReplyDeleteWait, has the NXT show started already? I thought it wasn't till the top of the hour.
ReplyDeleteHi Becky Lynch
ReplyDeletePre show
ReplyDeleteSe when the BoD works together we can accomplish anything.
ReplyDeleteGood news there. That was dreadful. Won't miss that noise.
ReplyDeleteJust the preshow.
ReplyDeleteHe went "No Real Scotsman" on me before he jumped, too.
ReplyDeleteI like the texture. Not a fan of the color. It's look good in gray.
ReplyDeleteWas the implication there that Kevin Owens beat up Itami?
ReplyDeleteJust the pre-cum.
ReplyDelete*slow clap*
ReplyDeleteIs she related to Claire?
ReplyDeleteMore free time for horrifying in depth conversations with Caliber comparing their respective masturbation techniques.
ReplyDeleteIce cold CJ. Ice cold.
ReplyDeleteThe peach color with the black pocket square is what's gathering my ire.
ReplyDeleteThe tip-off show.
ReplyDeleteI once saw them converse about if safe sex was "really" necessary or if you were fine to go "raw dog".
ReplyDeleteThe only guy that could make that work is Mark Henry.
ReplyDeleteThe hard sell.
ReplyDeleteIt has begun https://twitter.com/TheReal_Virgil
ReplyDelete*Blinks*
ReplyDeleteVince is scared of finger guns. Fact.
ReplyDeleteHe was because he met him right before he went out for his match.
ReplyDeleteSo, HHH said Itami would be 'represented' in the 3 way. And the very first thing on the show is announcing it is a singles match now.
ReplyDeleteOh god.
ReplyDeleteOr old school heel Vince. He loved a nice salmon sport coat.
ReplyDeleteReally, would any of us tell Marl otherwise. Wigs would be split.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy that the's not following anybody.
ReplyDeleteI'll leave it to your imagination what they decided was the answer.
ReplyDeleteWait, he's not homeless?
ReplyDeleteNXT warrants a pre show?
ReplyDeleteLeviticus.
ReplyDeleteOnly because if I see people quoting Leviticus as a primer on morality, it helps me determine that they are a total fucking nut job,
I am better than you. I have been part of it all and you aint shit. business inquiries therealvirgil1@gmail.com pay me and I will follow your sorry ass
ReplyDeleteTremendous.
The dude who said Joe is going to be there tonight hasn't been wrong yet so I'm still holding out hope.
ReplyDeleteWould have been sweet as hell if it were Joe.
ReplyDeleteSix people apparently paid him.
ReplyDeleteWas it the Reddit guy?
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't be hard to hide Joe before the event if they didn't want to tip their hand, so I'd buy it.
ReplyDeletehttp://deadspin.com/jamie-foxxs-doc-rivers-impression-is-perfect-1705879008
ReplyDeleteHis national anthem at Mayweather/Pacquiao was horrible, but Jamie Foxx's John Legend and Doc Rivers impressions are SPOT on.
Nice video package for the women's match. I approve.
ReplyDeleteMets was thrown out, but where one falls...another will rise
ReplyDeleteI eagerly await this new guys eventual meltdown
There appears to be a ghost behind Saxton.
ReplyDelete....is it safe?
ReplyDeleteThis video package is better than most on the main show for the men.
ReplyDeleteMinor point and likely means nothing, but I'm curious what Joe's music would be.
ReplyDeleteSamoa Joe.
ReplyDeleteI like how we've woven the dancing jigging crap into Becky's story. Plus she is ridiculously hot.
ReplyDeleteIt's Tazz. The mood is about to change for old Byron.
ReplyDeleteWhen we say Us, you say O
ReplyDeleteUS
O
US
O
Why are we getting a stat box on a pre-show announcer?
ReplyDeleteIf it's Taz he's standing on about 3 apple boxes.
ReplyDeleteDamn did Dusty decide to lose a lot of weight or is he really sick... https://twitter.com/RealKingRegal/status/601170566029123585
ReplyDeleteI love Maffew's Oompa Loompa intro for Taz on Botchamania.
ReplyDeleteWe are only a couple shows away from Renee Young just being topless.
ReplyDeleteIt's like Corey Graves sees all the Suicide Squad Joker pics and then acts accordingly.
ReplyDeleteDidn't he get a gastric band recently?
ReplyDeleteI approve of Renee's attire.
ReplyDeleteAnd Twitter deletes his account after 2 hours. LOL
ReplyDeleteThey probably hid him under that ghost behind Byron.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap.
ReplyDeleteI just got an email with the subject line "Legit free money 4 u"... I'm glad it added the word legit otherwise I would've been concerned this wasn't on the up and up.
ReplyDeleteI really hope you're right about this.
ReplyDeleteI remember his last appearance on Raw, the live thread INSTANTLY went to "Show 75 New Comments" and all of them were "Does Dusty have something? Is he dying?"
ReplyDeleteDecent looking chick next to this dude.
ReplyDeleteBlod of Doom.Assemble!
ReplyDeleteSurprised they spelled everything somewhat correctly.
ReplyDeleteProbably just lost weight. He's like 70. At a certain point, I think you just start to decline.
ReplyDeleteThis has the feel of a In Your House preshow from 95. I like it.
ReplyDeleteThe 4 would be my selling point.
ReplyDeleteAlso - Shocked Undertaker Guy, you have been replaced by Stereotypical Neckbeard Guy booing at Owens' victory in that promo package.
ReplyDeleteAnd keep in mind Dusty is a WRESTLER at 70.
ReplyDeleteThat's like 120 in normal person years.
Did anybody else catch that Virgil's twitter pic is a picture of himself holding a sign that says
ReplyDelete"REAL VIRGIL! FOLLOW ME BITCH!"
"At Your College VI: Unstoppable"
ReplyDeleteIt ruins that Rumble 2000 moment, but in the best way
ReplyDeleteITS TAZZ!
It's from Prince
ReplyDeleteThey really dropped the ball at the end.
ReplyDeleteTaz is in the background behind Byron.
ReplyDeleteROCKETBUSTA!
ReplyDeleteOh snap I just wrote this at the top. Touche!
ReplyDeleteRhyno is in NXT?
ReplyDeleteNot only is Saxton being haunted by a ghost, but there's also a bald Bray Wyatt on his other shoulder.
ReplyDeleteThat is a large large man in a large large Balor Club shirt.
ReplyDeleteI hope they call him SoJo because that's terrible.
ReplyDeleteMarvin!
ReplyDeleteThat guy has Kevin Kelly's voice almost down pat.
ReplyDeleteMARV! You missed a day!
ReplyDeleteWHAT A DAY!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing wrong with me having the Future Mrs buy me Batman comics and pay for my food this weekend since Monday is my birthday, right?
ReplyDeleteWhy's that girl holding a big tray of Wendy's?
ReplyDeleteBored as shit outside Petco park watching my buddy buy tickets lol
ReplyDeleteToday's been interesting
WHAT A LOVELY DAY!
ReplyDeleteSo why can't he go by Samoa Joe again?
ReplyDeleteI feel like Stereotypical Neckbeard Guy might be about 70% of the NXT crowd.
ReplyDeleteSounds so right.
ReplyDeleteDid I ask what you were doing motherfucker!?!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteBring back team names.
ReplyDeleteOh I've been around for 5 or 6 Murphy meltdowns I doubt I missed much
ReplyDeleteMy source says he's staying Samoa Joe.
ReplyDeleteShouldn't you be in Seattle by now?
ReplyDeleteAccount deleted!
ReplyDeleteIs Dubstep Cowboys these guys' real name, or just a smartass internet thing? Cause it's perfect.
ReplyDeleteUgh. Turning this off now.
ReplyDeleteYeah I've seen that before too lol
ReplyDeleteI AM NOT IN SEATTLE WITH EDNA RIGHT NOW!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd here I thought it'd be someone I wanted to see out there.
ReplyDeleteI'm not digging this special guest.
ReplyDeleteI hope he has a son. Samoa Joe Jr. The kids can call him SoJu!
ReplyDeletePetco is San Diego right? You should hang out with Jobber
ReplyDelete"Me too! Look at meeeeeee!"
ReplyDeleteEric Bischoff, Garret Bischoff, and Jason Hervey are suing TNA for $114,000. If TNA loses this lawsuit, do they officially file bankruptcy?
ReplyDeleteDude if he comes around tell him I'm here I'm gonna try to keep an eye on the thread I'd love to meet him
ReplyDeleteTonga Joe
ReplyDeleteJoe Uso
Kenndey Vincent
Sloppy Joe
Hijo del Umaga
The Headshrinker
Paul Shane
Shane Kennedy
Meh, everything is fine.
ReplyDeleteI swear there must be this force field around NXT because even an appearance from Steph doesn't suck.
ReplyDeleteJoey Joe Joe Shabbado
ReplyDeleteJesus. They won't be able to pay anyone until 2023!
ReplyDeleteOf course you'll have to kill him afterwards to protect your identity.
ReplyDeleteFat Draco
ReplyDeleteIs TNA even worth that much?
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of hoping not, because it would be awesome to see TNA end up on Judge Judy.
There are a few I'd trust, he and you included
ReplyDeleteI vote Kenndey Vincent!
ReplyDeleteShe looks pretty, even.
ReplyDeleteIt just has a great ring to it PAL!
ReplyDeleteRenee seems like such a sweetheart. I can't imagine a single bad bone in her body except mine.
ReplyDeleteOr, on Family Feud. Playing for the boys payouts.
ReplyDeleteIt must be the mics or something because everyone of these guys sounds like Daffy Duck out there.
ReplyDeleteI like that Vince legitimate hates juniors.
ReplyDeleteSo does TNA fold by the summer and everyone migrates to GFW sans Dixie?
ReplyDeleteIf your trust list involves Jobber then you're doing it wrong motherfucker.
ReplyDeleteWhy are they suing? Breach of contract.
ReplyDeletehttp://411mania.com/wrestling/eric-bischoff-sues-tna-for-breach-of-contract/
That's the worst name I ever heard.
ReplyDeleteAnd the lawsuit could also delay pay as well.
ReplyDeleteI bet Art complains that you didn't mention him.
ReplyDelete*runs out crying*
ReplyDelete"Hey! It's Joey Joe Joe!"
From the sound of things, TNA might fold by the time the next Observer goes to press
ReplyDeleteWhy would I complain about something I said?
ReplyDeleteThere are few things on TV more infuriating when someone gets an obvious puzzle on Wheel of Fortune wrong.
ReplyDeleteThe flurry episode of Entourage is one of the best episodes of all time.
ReplyDeleteI think WWE will take a couple.
ReplyDeleteI could see them take another look at Bram and ECIII
NAGGERS!
ReplyDeleteSo here I am, with my thoughts of you...and how I once believed.
ReplyDeleteI knew you'd get it, Art!
ReplyDeleteRefresh my memory.
ReplyDeletewut
ReplyDeleteUgh, it was "DIVE RIGHT IN"! IT WAS SO OBVIOUS! COME ON!
ReplyDeleteWhat an exciting night!
ReplyDeleteOh me and Art are the same person, apparently.
ReplyDeleteLike...as though I could physically post more
Cena's half of that promo was awesome as well.
ReplyDeleteCavs are gonna do it
ReplyDeleteThere's a disconnect between their characters on RAW and whenever Hunter or Steph show up on NXT
ReplyDeleteIT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!
ReplyDeleteThat needs a better name than "pop up powerbomb." Hmm.
ReplyDeleteWhy is TNA going out of business this time?
ReplyDelete"Poppin Fresh Powerbomb"
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, in STONE MOUNTAIN, GEORGIA...
ReplyDeletehttp://q13fox.com/2015/05/20/teacher-accused-of-letting-students-have-sex-in-classroom/
"Kevin Owens has had a lot on his plate lately"
ReplyDeleteIt's not. EVERYTHING IS JUST FINE.
ReplyDeleteHave Any Jokes About the T-Shirt Club Now? Powerbomb.
ReplyDelete
