Glad you're alive, Bayless.
ReplyDeleteOh, and LOLTNA.
What is the main event gonna be now?
ReplyDeleteRockstar Spud seems like a natural main eventer. *snicker*
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU BAYLESS! ~clap clap clap-clap-clap~
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU BAYLESS! ~clap clap clap-clap-clap~
Smells like a fresh thread.
ReplyDeleteI bet he is a bumping machine!
ReplyDeleteSo, the first six people announced for the next WWE video game are guys who are with the company and everyone figured would be featured?
ReplyDeleteThis news update is missing the only news update that matters today, how's the lady doing?
ReplyDeleteWishing a speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteBaby steps.
ReplyDeleteExcept Bryan who might be retired.
ReplyDeleteAnd BNB who's an obsolete gimmick.
I want to know why New Day wasn't announced first!
ReplyDeleteShawn Michaels has been retired for 5 years, he's been in every game. And Barrett is still main roster, he was going to be in the game no matter what.
ReplyDeleteI read in yesterday's thread that someone told you to use ice packs. Did you earn the right to use those? How many car accidents have you even been in?
ReplyDelete*makes a face of disapproval and walks away*
Did you at least dive on your woman to protect her?
ReplyDeleteWell I meant Bryan's a likely candidate to be Edge'd and be a last minute "Legend."
ReplyDeleteAnd Barrett is like Cody Rhodes in every other game where his gimmick is obsolete and you have to awkwardly use him until someone makes a Stardust CAW.
Not a great start,
She is doing better, thank you. Head doesnt hurt as much but body is sore, just like mine.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they should just delay their little PPV that nobody will buy anyway?
ReplyDeleteSo as mentioned in the other thread, the Network dropped about a dozen eps of Prime Time on us, and there is a guy on Reddit saying that the remaining episode of Hulk Hogan's Rock n Wrestling should be up later in the week.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of which, did anyone check out the Dusty show last night? Was it time well spent?
Meltzer raved about the Dusty special today
ReplyDeleteMeatball sandwich
ReplyDeleteThat's great news dude.
ReplyDeleteLOTS of water man, and only ice no heating pads, heating pads are the dumbest things ever.
This seems like the right play.
ReplyDeleteI'm ice packing like a mofo
ReplyDeletehttp://media.giphy.com/media/P5vyB2mX2BCSY/giphy.gif
ReplyDeleteI missed it last night. Might catch it later tonight.
ReplyDeleteI will find an all organic supplement made from rainforest herbs that only grow once every 30 years to ease the pain.
ReplyDeleteOr senzu beans
ReplyDeleteAnd I'll run him by a double meat cheesburger.
ReplyDeleteIt was a struggle even finding three news items for this.
ReplyDeleteYou are worse than a terrorist. Seriously just an awful person!
ReplyDeleteAt this point you could fill a spot every day with "TNA isn't sure what to do" and no one would even blink.
ReplyDelete^Why you own only the one home.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can give us up to the minute news on your recovery, a la Orton
ReplyDeleteThey sure are a well-run company.
ReplyDeleteI fully support this idea.
ReplyDeleteIs TNA even in business by the end of August?
ReplyDeleteJust curious
Stupid busiest day at work, tonight I'll make a BNN gif
ReplyDeleteI am way more entertained by TNA not understanding how to do taping cycles than anything the company's done in about four years.
ReplyDeleteI remember Rhyno talking about the end of ECW where he was looking online just like the fans to see if any shows were booked. I get the sense something similar will happen with TNA, only because Dixie really seems to have NO clue what she's doing.
ReplyDeleteWOO! Day off!
ReplyDeleteAll the same shit Heyman pulled, just by accident instead.
ReplyDeleteBooooo
ReplyDeleteI think I've gonna cover Pride next week because no one wants to do it lol
Office birthday celebration today. Two people have birthdays in June, so everyone brings something to eat. I bought ice and sodas like always. But I can't even participate because of conference calls.
ReplyDeleteThere better be some pigs-in-blankets by the time I'm done.
Photos or pics and interviews? Just going and taking pics for a photo spread is much less annoying to me.
ReplyDeletepigs in blankets I presume is a phrase for dead bodies
ReplyDelete...
ReplyDelete...
Can you call something a "pay per view" if no one's paying for it or viewing it?
ReplyDeleteNo way, they're the best hor d'oeuvres ever. I don't even think that's a debate is it?
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Ours are paid for by the company and we do them monthly... but all we get is cake and uncomfortable conversation.
ReplyDeleteKevin Owens was COMPLETELY justified in powerbombing Cena's Make-A-Wish kid off the stage last night. He SHOVED him!
ReplyDeleteFrankly, I wish Kevin followed that powerbomb with an elbow drop off the stage!
Also....
ReplyDeleteIT'S MY BIRTHDAY IN JUNE
He's a Brit, he doesn't know any better.
ReplyDeleteJust photos thank Christ, it should be a blast. I kept trying to explain to them that it's actually going to be fun but no one believes me. I'll go get drunk downtown all day on a Saturday, why the hell not?
ReplyDeleteI tthink a day in the life special doc on TNA will be more entertaining
ReplyDelete"How many live tapings do you want to do, Dixie?"
*Dixie with a derp face*
Maybe this means EC3 will win the title (although he won't because LOL DESTINATION AMERICA)
ReplyDeleteit's all good
ReplyDeleteDo they not have those in the UK? I feel even worse for Euros than I did a few minutes ago.
ReplyDelete:: No one from BoD buys you a present or says Happy Birthday ::
ReplyDeleteI hear there's a newsman who needs my attention.
ReplyDeleteI'm considering it.
Only if you fling it at them at subsonic speeds, bouncing it off their face.
ReplyDeleteSo is mine! Next week!
ReplyDeletethe V stands for Vaguely Aware This Is Happening, I think
ReplyDeleteI like meatballs with a sauce balanced between spicy/flavorful
ReplyDeleteI assume they're all young and don't realize that once they take a handful of pics, they can just have a good time for the rest of the time.
ReplyDeleteThey do, I was just bombing. It happens.
ReplyDeleteME! ME! ME! ME! ME! ME!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! :: Buys you a present ::
ReplyDelete:: All of this done just to hurt tatr feelings ::
OK, thought we had some serious issues for a second.
ReplyDeleteIs it? Is it REALLY?
ReplyDeleteWell, let's just wait until it IS my birthday for the cruelty.
ReplyDeleteAnd you found your next hookup.
ReplyDeleteBombing?
ReplyDelete:: Has you arrested for terrorism ::
Also good. PIB are loaded up with salt and MSG and fat, I feel awful after eating them, but damn they are good
ReplyDeleteEvery day?
ReplyDeleteHmmm....maybe.....maybe.
ReplyDeleteI made that pretty clear, we'll only use one picture probably. It's a five minute job and a six hour party.
ReplyDeleteIt's the same day as Slammiversary!
ReplyDeleteThis only counts 3/5
ReplyDeleteHow can I earn you?
ReplyDelete"Cena's Make-A-Wish kid" made me laugh hard enough to startle an elderly Asian couple. Good job.
ReplyDeleteConstitutional burn!
ReplyDeleteEh I am still on the fence on that one.
ReplyDeleteNah it's bad
ReplyDelete*crosses fingers it's a woman that can stand the sight of him*
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could take credit for it but someone said it here when MGK performed at WM. It's always stayed with me whenever he's mentioned anywhere.
ReplyDeletemaybe a BoDay party!
ReplyDeleteAnswer the following questions:
ReplyDeleteHow many homes do you own?
Do you like dogs?
Do you really, unnaturally, like dogs?
We shall see if you're an A+ journalist now.
Well ,that's one way to remember when Slammiversary is.
ReplyDeleteI got your ice pack RIGHT HERE, pal!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday all month long!
ReplyDeleteNow get out of my hair!
1
ReplyDeleteyes
no
TNA should have their taping schedule set up so that isn't a problem. Why are they taping TV for after the PPV before the PPV?
ReplyDelete... it's because she's not married.
ReplyDeleteBecause TNA.
ReplyDeleteBecause fuck you, that's why!
ReplyDeleteAnd LOLTNA
I think them being switched from Fridays to Wednesdays threw off their taping schedule because they panned to have a live show on that Friday before Slammiversary then ape right after it.
ReplyDeleteBasically, I have no idea.
Isn't the PPV (and my birthday) in 12 days? And the shows are already taped. And somehow they're "working" on a new PPV main event?
ReplyDeleteLaughing Sting!
ReplyDeleteAs a journalist, I can authoritatively declare that the correct answer to all three questions is "no comment".
ReplyDeleteThis survey outcome was rather disappointing, but because of everything you do around here, you get me.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations.
As long as I don't have to lie on your balls.
Staying ahead of the curve!
ReplyDeleteOr in this case about to jump over it
I mean, Ring of Honor has one episode in the can that will go on the Wednesday after Best in the World this weekend because of the funky Japan schedule, but its a showcase episode with Nakamura vs Strong and Bullet Club vs Chaos.
ReplyDeleteNothing that is effected by the PPV results, and the episode after that will be up to date on the PPV results.
This whole TNA is kinda odd. They're still planning PPVs despite going out of business in a few months. It would be like WCW being told they're going out of business in December around Starrcade 2000 and still acting like they matter.
ReplyDeleteAlright, time to run some chores. Hopefully the rains hold off til I get back.
ReplyDeleteOOOH! Donald Trump is officially running for president! 2016 is gonna be fun, y'all!
ReplyDeleteC'mon Michael cole account - the correct response was "this is all funny because he's injured, and this is an ice pack account that is poking fun at the real-life backstage rumor that certain WWE superstars shouldn't be using ice packs for injuries."
ReplyDeleteSoooooooooooo, why is the WWE going with Rollins/Lesnar at Battleground instead of SummeeSlam?
ReplyDeleteSlammiversary is live on the 28th. They are taping the post-Slammiversary shows on the 25th-27th. They have the Slammiversary go home show Live on the 24th.
ReplyDeleteBrock needs to F5 you again, just to get the other shoe off.
ReplyDeleteMy balls are pain free.
ReplyDeleteMust be desperate for subscriptions.
ReplyDeleteThank Cena.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they’ve decided that Summerslam as a big show might sell itself
ReplyDeletebut Battleground needs help
Ah right okay
ReplyDeleteSix month subscriptions that came in for the Rumble coming off the books?
ReplyDeleteIt seems like everything would be on pace for a great SummerSlam if there wasn't an extra PPV between now and then. Brock/Rollins, Owens/Cena III, Sheamus/Orton would be a fine upper card for SS.
ReplyDeleteEverything but Mania, SummerSlam and the Rumble needs help
ReplyDeleteI thought they got rid of the six month subscription thing
ReplyDeleteMGK needs to learn to take a bump
ReplyDeleteAnd Dunn once again missed the shot
I've heard that your theory of the switch to Wednesday is correct. Basically, TNA had planned on moving to Thursdays, but DA didn't give them much (read: NONE) notice before the move, so their stuff was taped talking about a couple days away (from Friday) as opposed to where they are now.
ReplyDeleteThis is the danger of taping so far in advance.
Meh on Sheamus/Orton
ReplyDeleteThey did but I think that was in Feb or March right?
ReplyDeleteSo is it true that the XBone is backwards compatible now?
ReplyDeleteDon't think it gets more meh than Sheamus/Orton
ReplyDeleteI hope he has insurance!
ReplyDeleteMight have been
ReplyDeleteWhat's awesome about KO's promo is that it was a goddamn shoot, just like we were all saying the night before. Cena only respects you when you lose, and somehow you only belong when he beats you.
ReplyDeleteNow that it's pretty pretty established that Cena the character is an extension of Cena the man, and based on what we've seen on Total Divas and heard from others, I think we're well past the point of saying that Cena the person is a good guy, and instead embrace the fact that Cena is in fact more of a self-centered douchebag.
By the holidays
ReplyDeleteIt won't get much love here, but both of those guys are pretty over. It'll get a good reaction live when Orton wins. And Orton seems to bring it when he's getting a nice win.
ReplyDeleteOrton and Sheamus have no chemistry
ReplyDeletehttp://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/06/16/breaking-the-fbi-is-investigating-the-cardinals-for-hacking-into-the-astros-computer-system/
ReplyDeleteOh please oh please let this be a scandal that brings down the Cardinals.
Remember, they do things the right way and have the best fans in baseball
I think they shot it in a way to cover the fact that it was clearly a crash pad and a pretty comfy landing. But I'd be pissed if I were Owens about the way he just got up and walked out with only a little help from his crew. That has to be a stretcher job.
ReplyDeleteI haven't partied that hard on a Monday night in my entire life. So did I miss anything important on Raw?
ReplyDeleteOh no, watch out....you're sounding a little too critical.
ReplyDeletePeople here in MO are blaming the Cubs "because they are so jealous of the Cards."
ReplyDeleteMy name isn't Chris Jericho! I don't have to shill!
ReplyDeleteI do what I want!!
I'm Paul Bearer, and you're not!
He should be brained with a hammer for that one
ReplyDeleteI'd have partied harder but I can't profess to being a serious enough Blackhawks fan to go that crazy. If it had been the Bulls there's no way I'd be at work right now.
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious.
ReplyDeleteIt's the Cardinal Way!
ReplyDeletepeople at my work always do meatballs and they are always winners.
ReplyDeleteLOL I get that reference
ReplyDeleteKo was totally justified in kicking MGK's ass.
ReplyDeleteI'm a White Sox fan who has no dog in that fight, and I hate the Cardinals infinitely more than the Cubs.
ReplyDeleteI got the Bulls partying out of my system in the 90's.
ReplyDeleteit's fine for the middle of the card.
ReplyDeleteThink you're on to something here based in TD at least.
ReplyDeleteHas anybody else called Cena a dick publicly or are we still only at Dykstra and Chavo?
If so fuck those two.
Wonder how MLB handles this.
ReplyDeleteI'll never understand why Cardinals fans hate the Cubs
ReplyDeleteWhen's the last time they had a program?
ReplyDeleteHe got selling lessons from his buddy John Cena. I fully expect MGK to sprint to the ring next week.
ReplyDeleteThat's one of my favourite things ever on the BoD
ReplyDeleteNothing will happen because MLB loves the Cardinals
ReplyDeleteThey really need to start working better with bringing on lower card guys on RAW to lose to the established guys. They jobbed Orton and Sheamus (YOUR Money in the Bank winner) last night.
ReplyDeleteSince these matches don't mean anything anyway, why not just give Dean a match against Heath Slater or something, give him a simple win. Let Orton beat an Adam Rose or something, and then further his feud with Sheamus with a run in or something. Don't beat these guys over and over again.
It is amazing how bad they treat their wrestlers. Before they were treated as larger than life SUPERSTARS. Today, I feel like that a Joe Nobody like me could roll up Sheamus for a win if someone distracts him.
Happy birthday to Tater!
ReplyDelete*There's more of me than you."
Why are they even bothering with a ppv? Do they even spend any money advertising them? Just pull out (that's what she said).
ReplyDeleteI think that describes every Blackhawks fan before 2008
ReplyDeleteRandy Orton gets the weirdest reactions. In the arena, he gets arguably the best babyface pops in the company (even got Randy chants last night) so it's justifiable you put him in the main event. Yet when he is, the fan interest just torpedoes.
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm *that*!!!
ReplyDeleteI'M ONE OF TATER'S FAVORITE THINGS EVER ON THE BOD!!!
I met Woody Allen and Soon-Yi on Sunday. Woody was nice
ReplyDeleteUmmm........ ???
ReplyDeleteI think it's "Yay, it's Randy Orton!", until he wrestles, and then it's "Oh, it's Randy Orton".
ReplyDelete"Remember, they do things the right way and have the best fans in baseball"
ReplyDeleteSo they're the FC Barcelona of baseball?
I was 14 for the last one, so I badly one to celebrate one as an adult. Oh well, I got the '05 White Sox at age 22. And I was on the U of I campus for that one, so it was pretty fucking insane.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was 7 or 8 years old my local mall got a Gap. I made a vow at that point never to enter a Gap, which I have honoured all but once when there were boobs involved, and now a mere 27 years later it may close. Victory is mine Gap.
ReplyDeleteI had a dream last night that I was talking to Daniel Bryan and asking him how he was. And we somehow got on the topic of NXT and I told him how awesome the NXT Divas were doing. I referred to them as the Four Horsewomen and he got a little annoyed like I had I tried to act like a part of THIS BUSINESS or something and told me I should instead refer to them by their initials. (Yes, he said initials instead of names).
ReplyDeleteThen I realized that I was late for a class that we all had to go to, and when I left the building I realized I was on the other side of my college campus (but not really) that I didn't recognize, and I decided that I could lie and say I had a prior commitment. Then I woke up and realized I should probably get ready for work.
It was pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteHe's your classic "guy that should be constantly jumping promotions."
ReplyDeleteMore Steamboat than Hogan. People really like him but his act runs its course very fast.
Sweet. Guess I'll be going with that one.
ReplyDeleteSomebody can be a good person and still be a jerk? How? By doing good things for other people. It doesn't mean they're liekable, or nice, but that they add value to the world through their actions.
ReplyDeletePeople are not simple, they're complex, and I think John Cena the self-centered d-bag and John Cena the charity champion can both be the real John Cena.
Even from an observational standpoint, it's true. MGK started it
ReplyDeleteAww, you know you are
ReplyDeleteEh, I don't know about all that. I just think it was a really awesome promo. And then he powerbombed that handicapped kid off the stage? That was great.
ReplyDeleteThe charity stuff it fine, but he acts like it defines him, when in fact it's becoming more apparent how he is outside of that.
ReplyDeleteWith the position both teams hold in their division, a World Series between these two teams would be interesting from a media perspective.
ReplyDeleteI guess you could say that MGK wasn't invincible after all.
ReplyDeleteHe's the man.
ReplyDelete"Well, Daniel, B.B is fucking terrible. How's that?"
ReplyDeleteIt's sort of like when a king considers his peasants unworthy.
ReplyDeleteIf I beat you, you're a scrub.
ReplyDeleteIf you beat me, you're a scrub.
FBI is investigating the Cardinals for hacking the Astros' database.
ReplyDeletehttp://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/13089501/report-fbi-investigating-st-louis-cardinals-hacking-houston-astros-database
NXT really benefits from having some job guys around. I feel like USA has a lot to do with this, unfortunately. They won't allow a bunch of squashes because it will tank ratings, not realizing how short-sighted that is.
ReplyDeleteI agree. The way MGK was just standing there, looking like a douchebag. He earned that ass-kicking.
ReplyDeleteAnd in those 27 years,their product has been as stale as ever.
ReplyDeleteThis Knicks/Mets fan doesn't feel bad for you. Not at all.
ReplyDelete"THANK YOU BIG SHOW!"
ReplyDeleteSo the last we saw Brock, Stephanie McMahon proclaimed that she "owned his ass." Next we see brock, he's allowed back because HHH/Steph allowed him to come back.
ReplyDeleteBrock didn't do anything cool, there was no obstacle he overcame--- the heels just let him come back. I mean come on, how fucking brain dead is the creative (Vince/Steph/HHH) in this company? You can't do anything interesting for your #1 main event angle?
And would it have killed them for The Authority to have been somewhat in a position of Weakness here? Basically the point of this angle is that HHH/Steph are above everyone once again. Bigger than the chump babyfaces, bigger than their latest chump heel champion.
Donald Trump has officially announced that he's running for President. I'll vote for him because I liked the building Mania IV & V was in and I was there for Mania 23 when he shaved Vince bald.
ReplyDeleteIf ever there was proof you don't need to be smart to be rich, Donald Trump's presidential candidacy speech right now is amazing
ReplyDeleteIt worked for Ryback
ReplyDeleteI get that, but hating a team that hasn't won since 1908 seems a bit much
ReplyDeleteHe should have F-5'ed Stephanie last night and broke HHH's arm again.
ReplyDeleteThen he should have scrunched Michael Cole up and dribbled him around Cleveland like a basketball.
I hope Bobby Lashley is on his security team.
ReplyDeleteNo. She is a colleague.
ReplyDeleteHere's how important musical guests on Raw are to me:
ReplyDeleteI watched Raw after the fact (which according to Cult is a no-no and wrestling should always be watched live and never on tape delay), and I chose to watch the Dusty vid package again all the way through, even though I saw it the night before and can jump online and see it any time, while still FF'ing through MGK till I saw KO come out.
Seriously, I don't see how the musical guests bring new eyes to them. Chances are the fans of the musical guests are already wrestling fans, or have made up their minds and don't care about wrestling. There's no middle ground where someone's on the fence. It's a waste of money.
Back in the day when TV exposure was limited, it was a big deal to see celebrities at WWF events. That was the point, to draw news eyes to the WWF. And they were celebrities people actually cared about, not Hoda, and the Entourage B-Team. Today in the world of instant media, the shine has lost its luster.
Going without insurance is no laughing matter, son.
ReplyDeleteNintendo's E3 presentation is today!!
