Game 6 of the NBA Finals is on ABC and WatchESPN tonight. Warriors up 3-2 and look to put it away tonight.
There is also MLB action highlighted by Dodgers/Rangers, Blue Jays/Mets, and Nationals/Rays.
There is also a PPV watch going on. I believe it's Backlash 2000. Here's a link to it, you lazy bastards:

ReplyDeleteHey Art. Batman Day is 26 September this year!
ReplyDeleteEveryone knows Jews can't play basketball.
ReplyDeleteNOT FIRST! WOO!
ReplyDeleteKyle's a negro now!
ReplyDeleteMY BAAAALLLLLSSSSS!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm watching the latest OSW Review about the final Nitro (https://vimeo.com/130631155). People hail Mcmahon as a genius, but I swear he lost half the available wrestling audience *before* the Invasion angle even began just because of his manner on that show.
ReplyDeleteLast week, Woman turns on Sandman and joins Shane Douglas to set up a title match next week. During the match, it was a swerve and she helps Sandman beat Dougals for the title. Then Shane puts on a Monday Night Raw shirt and officially leaves the promotion.
ReplyDelete1995 ECW was on fire.
I'm bizarrely proud that the chrono-watch has now made it into the Night Thread headline.
ReplyDelete*sniff* We've come so far since In Your House 4: Everybody's Wearing Purple
Hey, me too!
ReplyDeleteIt's also my unbirthday!
Fucking hell that show was awful.
ReplyDeleteI not only watch the PPVs in chronological order, but the TV shows as well. Step it up the fucking casual.
ReplyDeleteAnd who the fuck was watching that dumpster fire with you?
ReplyDeleteAnd yes: Backlash 2000 starting at 8 PM Eastern Time!
ReplyDeleteBatman day is next Tuesday! ARKHAM KNIIIIIIIIGHT!
ReplyDeleteNight of Too Much Purple! Though Mabel-Yoko was hilarious.
ReplyDeleteWe've made it Art!!!
The beating Shane took was classic
ReplyDeleteIt was really, really bad.
ReplyDeleteThis is the greatest night in the history of our sport!
ReplyDeleteIt all started with me and Art angrily and confusedly sitting through IYH4.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to pretend it started with Rumble-Thon and you'll never convince me otherwise lol
ReplyDeleteSandman/Woman/Shane, Cactus/Funk, Raven/Dreamer, plus the midcard of Guerrero/Taz/Benoit/Malenko/Scorpio. No promotion could touch ECW in 95.
ReplyDeleteDownvote. This is where the power lies brother.
ReplyDeleteI'm working E3 this week and I encountered the game reviewer for 411 Mania. What a giant prick. Just rude to everyone. I'll be shocked if he isn't blacklisted by the end of this show.
ReplyDeleteIt really did.
ReplyDeleteYou pioneered the livewatch, as a group we mastered it.
411 can afford to send someone to E3?
ReplyDeleteBoth bad and totally unremarkable. At least some shows are so bad they come back around to being entertaining. That was bad and boring as all hell.
ReplyDeleteI don't think they'll have that to worry about by the time this week is over.
ReplyDeleteLocal guy, wanted to go anyway, through 411 he gets in free probably
ReplyDeleteWho's the wrestler you were most wrong about? For me it's Paul London. I honestly thought he was going to be this generation's Shawn Michaels.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing a 1989 chronological watch for NWA and WWF and today I watched the NWA World Championship Wrestling episode from 1/28/1989 that featured Flair and Windham attacking Eddie Gilbert with Steamboat making the save. Can't wait until I get to Chi-Town Rumble to watch Flair/Steamboat again.
ReplyDeleteAt least it was only 2 hours.
ReplyDeletePleasantly, it's Kevin Owens.
ReplyDeleteI thought for sure he was pure garbage until he dropped Zayn on his head.
I thought Shelton Benjamin was going to be a main eventer for life when he got all those DQ wins over HHH.
ReplyDeleteWhen running for president, Trump should mention that he is the only WWE Hall of Famer to run for president
ReplyDeleteMVP. I thought he was going to be a megastar.
ReplyDeleteAnd who's the opposite of that - guaranteed superstar turned jobless bum?
ReplyDeleteHe said he'd want Oprah as VP and based on where this country is today that seems fitting.
ReplyDeleteDoes Kevin Steen count? I always knew he would be great, but if you told me that WWE would ever consider signing him much less strap a rocket to his ass I would have laughed in your face and called you a moron.
ReplyDeleteYeah this whole "no skip policy" has gotten awkward.
ReplyDeleteOver the Edge 99 was really uncomfortable.
By most accounts I remain wrong on Orton, just highly dislike him and refuse to acknowledge reasons he's been basically the 2nd guy in the company for 10-whatever years
ReplyDeleteMabel-Yoko was oddly hilarious to watch. The big hug of heel mutual respect and celebration while the crowd threw drinks at them was fucking awesome.
ReplyDeleteI'm willing to bet if Oprah ran, she would get a huge chunk of the vote.
ReplyDeleteI just saw an indie poster that featured Vader and Samoa Joe and was so disappointed that they weren't running Joe vs Vader.
ReplyDeleteAhh, I guess I didn't pay much attention to the original question did? lol
ReplyDeleteDolph probably, I thought he had all the tools to me a monster babyface and his talen would be undeniable. So wrong.
Tom Zenk. Doh!
ReplyDeleteTed Dibiase Jr. I can't believe he flamed out that badly.
ReplyDeleteNot unlike Bryan or Punk, although obviously neither of those guys have had the impact Owens has in their first few months.
ReplyDeleteDaniel Bryan. I thought he was a short generic indy darling that would amount to nothing in WWE.
ReplyDeleteWade Bad News King Barrett
ReplyDeleteI just realized except for a couple shows I haven't rewatched 2000 in a long time. I'm really hoping this holds up instead of Benoit ruining everything with his stupid headbutts.
ReplyDeleteSo this is the Backlash basically famous for finally having all the results they should have done at Mania right?
ReplyDeleteI missed the end of WM2000 was the main event as weird and disjointed as I remember?
Dibiase Jr.
ReplyDeleteI thought Nigel would be much bigger in TNA than Bryan in WWE. Nigel got a stronger initial push but then shit happened.
ReplyDeleteThat's going to be his only hope.
ReplyDeleteNo, I meant it either way. Dolph was headed in the right direction, but never improved his in-ring work or promos enough, IMO.
ReplyDeleteHe still has the ability and he's certainly over enough, but creative just won't let it happen.
ReplyDeleteI'll finish No Way Out tonight and jump on Backlash with you guys since I've seen Wrestlemania 2000 a bunch of times.
ReplyDeleteAfter I get back from Avengers.
The end of WM2000 was really good once Show and Foley were out of it.
ReplyDeleteThis is acknowledged as what the 1999-00 season WM should have been.
The Main Event is a mediocre 15 minute 4 way and ends with a ****1/2 Rock/HHH 15 minute singles match.
ReplyDeleteSony is officially funding Shenmue 3 100%.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of shit I can't believe is actually happening....
ReplyDeleteAnd backlash is pretty much known for having the funnest main event ever.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing to think the amount of times the booking that he got would've broken other guys. He always was a better wrestler than almost everybody, but a lot of guys understandably get worn down by shitty WWE booking.
ReplyDeleteI was gonna make a Benoit joke but I'm on my phone and it's too much effort
ReplyDeleteI'm still shocked that Barrett is not a former World Champ. He should have beaten Orton for the title in 2010 and go on a 6 month reign of terror only to be beaten by Cena at WM. Also if Miz tried to cash-in against him, the Nexus comes out to kick Miz's ass.
ReplyDeleteI'm still mad Triple H went over at WM 2000. The Rock deserved to get his "WrestleMania moment" there.
ReplyDeleteHe's also a guy that's been around for 6 or 7 years off and on and feels like he's at the end of his run. Like Jake in 92.
ReplyDeleteI never thought Austin was going to amount to anything. Man was I ever wrong there.
ReplyDeleteBarrett gets buried again and again and he literally was at the end of his Cena feud at TLC
ReplyDeleteI have a Vizio and the fucker has this Yahoo this at the bottom at says "Searching for Available Updates"
ReplyDeleteAnyone with an idea how to get rid of it?
Is it me or is the Rollins/Brock babyface-heel dynamic completely backwards? Remember when Bret said Shawn stole his heel heat in Fall '97? This reminded me a bit of that. Meaning Steph and HHH completely fucked the guy over.
ReplyDeleteI'm not one?!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about Orton and Sheamus.
ReplyDeleteI'm still holding out hope for a comeback
ReplyDeleteThat's the shitty part of Nexus. Aside from Bryan, none of them were ready. Even Barrett had the "You're Doing It Wrong Slam" as a finisher.
ReplyDeleteIt's a concept that just wouldn't have worked with any group of rookies outside of the NXT 5/
Are you sure? That doesn't sound like HHH/Steph to me
ReplyDeleteWell, rumor is they want to turn Rollins and run Triple H-Rollins at SummerSlam, so there ya go
ReplyDeleteIt seems like he got out before he got burned. No bad thing.
ReplyDeleteI laughed out loud on this one. Take a bow, you earned it.
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for the WWE version of the David Arquette moment when Steph wins the title
ReplyDeleteThat's what she said
ReplyDeleteTill I bought the weekend
Then what they did makes sense even if it really doesn't.
ReplyDeleteI made a giant post about this is in the daily thread.
ReplyDeleteToo English. Can't connect with the audience.
ReplyDeleteI've honestly never played the first two. I'm hoping they are re-released before they release the 3rd one.
ReplyDeleteBeen sick all day and just got around to watching Raw. I'm always late anyway. Guess it comes with the skin color. Not trying to steal your thunder.
ReplyDeleteI liked how you included an abstract for it at the beginning of the post.
ReplyDeleteThat's going to be for Aurora Rose
ReplyDeleteThought you would reach greater heights.
ReplyDeleteIt's infuriating, at least HHH will take his lumps, Steph just keeps on swinging what I'm sure is her ginormous, workout fueled clit around like a battering ram and everyone has to grin and take it
ReplyDeleteWhew...just in time for Backlash!
ReplyDeleteJust found out that it's an issue with all Vizios. Evil.
ReplyDeleteI just meant to say, you're not alone in thinking that.
ReplyDeleteStick an eggbeater in your rectum.
ReplyDeleteBrock is going to be a face no matter what, people love him (and Heyman) because he's just that good, and nearly killing Cole sealed it. Owens is starting to get he same reaction. But the new Brock/Authority alignment makes NO sense at all.
ReplyDeleteWhich I didn't even fully read
ReplyDeletegotcha
ReplyDeleteMy favorite PPV of all time!
ReplyDeleteStarting Backlash 2000 now!
ReplyDeleteFirst one is awesome. Second one is a step down from awesome.
ReplyDeleteThe whale?!
ReplyDeleteGotta tap out before the Main, but I watched it last week for GWE, so it works out well anyway.
ReplyDeleteI turned off pretty soon after Owens first segment last night, they do anything to explain what changed the Authority's mind on the suspension?
ReplyDeleteEven this promo package is way more Mania like
ReplyDeletebut what's heelish about Rollins now? I kinda felt sorry for him with the way the story was written
ReplyDeleteGentleman, welcome to the best season of WWF ever! We've sat through unimaginable shit to get here (except It's Time, where everybody left but Petuka) so let's enjoy this!
ReplyDeleteBasically, they made a deal with Heyman to teach Rollins a lesson
ReplyDeletehttps://disqus.com/home/discussion/rspwfaq2/scotts_blog_of_doom_bod_daily_update_9178/#comment-2082707239
ReplyDeleteThis is it if you want to read it.
This old open still gets me pumped
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhh, yeah. Timestamp?
ReplyDeleteIt's the same thing they did to Orton's authority reign, that was the closest I came to tolerating Orton because I felt sorry for him by the end
ReplyDeleteI miss that Backlash logo, too. Loved it in the video games.
ReplyDeleteI'm jacked for this show. The Cavs might lose tonight and I don't really know if I care lol.
ReplyDeleteNow taking bets on when you pass out
ReplyDeleteThere's a button only Vizio where if I accidentally hit it an annoying bar pops up I have to turn the TV off to get rid of it. Annoying. Smart TV right?
ReplyDeleteShouldn't Rollins just purposely get DQ'ed like 1 minute into the match against Lesnar?
ReplyDeleteIt's why I hate doing the second PPV per night lol.
ReplyDeleteTrue. I figured they were going to turn him face, and that's what they seem to be doing, but somehow not. Like I said, it makes no sense.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, worst live watch leader ever, get on a superior coast if you're going to do this.
ReplyDeleteJEFF JARRETT'S BACK! I'm marking out bro! Oh...it's her.
ReplyDeleteDrunk ring announcer Debra?
ReplyDeleteI know it's a small solace, but knowing that "The Greatest Team Ever" barely eeked by one guy playing basically by himself and all of sports media wanting that guy to be the MVP even in a loss has to be pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteThe Pebbles Flintstone do is pretty awful.
ReplyDeleteIt is. Next year if we don't get injuries it's another story.
ReplyDeleteInstead of having Brock just come out and say that Rollins never beat him and he's entitled to a rematch, so now Seth, you're fucked. But that wouldn't have been stupid.
ReplyDeleteDebra ring announcing: just slightly worse than early Lillian Garcia.
ReplyDeleteJesus, who thought Debra being an announcer was a good idea?
ReplyDeleteI'm not even watching Backlash, but I can still hear how drunk Debra is.
ReplyDeletesame guy who thinks she should be the rock's manager
ReplyDeleteYou say that like Garcia ever got better.
ReplyDeleteI agree with everything except for Heyman. He's a businessman so it's not his job to take his dealings with The Authority personal. His job is to do what's in the best interest of Brock and that's what he did.
ReplyDeleteBut what else is gonna fill the PPV time, PAL?!?!
ReplyDeleteBusy barring the door for Tropical Storm Bill. Tornado watch until tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteEven Sunny had the dignity to show up sober-ish for her ring announcing.
ReplyDeleteEven if she was sober, Debra just doesn't have a strong enough voice to do this.
ReplyDeleteJust remember, Lebron will never be Jordan.
ReplyDeleteJordan needed 3 HOF's on his team to win titles, not 2 lol
Hellooooooo Bill
ReplyDelete3?
ReplyDeleteX-Pac and Road Dogg: 0-1 on PPV, "Best Tag Team in WWF history" according to JR and the King.
ReplyDeleteTalk about the least intimidating name for a Tropical Storm ever.
ReplyDeleteBrock was suspended so that got them around that. They addressed it in one of the dumbest ways possible but you take what you can get
ReplyDeletePippen/Rodman/Kerr
ReplyDeleteSupposedly that's going to dump a healthy bit of rain on us too.
ReplyDeleteI was just about to say that. You may as well name it Bruce or Marvin.
ReplyDeleteTropical Storm Bill Braske
ReplyDeleteWell, isn't William just to formal?
ReplyDeleteKerr's nowhere near that class. Like there have been literally a thousand Kerrs in the league. This one was just in the right place at the right time.
ReplyDeleteWhere is Debra, anyway?
ReplyDeleteMLB looking into All-Star voting changes. How about this change? Just don't let fans vote, pick 25 dudes like a regular roster, and play a freakin' game.
ReplyDeleteDrinking at the timekeepers station I think.
ReplyDeleteOr only allow fans to vote 3 times per IP address instead of 35.
ReplyDeleteThis is the one all-star game that's actually salvageable
ReplyDeleteI like it the way that it is but get rid of making it count
ReplyDeleteLocal weather forecasters are getting desperate in CT for ratings I guess, not only already pounding the drum on this storm, but yesterday put out a "looks like a busy winter" push on the local news weather site
ReplyDeleteWhy can't each person just get 1 vote? Who the hell needs 3? This isn't a NYC election circa 1870
ReplyDeleteYeah that needs to change too.
ReplyDeleteHeel Sheamus feels like he's got a couple more years in him. Not fresh or new by any means but not completely used up.
ReplyDeleteOrton feels like he should have been one of those guys that constantly jumps territories. He's really fun for like three months and than just gets stale as shit.
The game itself is so goddamn pointless (as they all are)
ReplyDeleteJust do a home run derby and be done with it, that's all anyone gives a shit to watch anyway.
Since Chris Bermann does that I haven't watch the HR derby in over a decade
ReplyDeleteTropical Storm Bill Braske could snort a line of coke while fighting off invisible ninjas.
ReplyDeleteI could see letting kinds or members of a family vote on one IP address.
ReplyDelete35 is ludicrous though.
I'd go with corked bats, spit balls, and nail files
ReplyDelete"They all hate each other but Paul shake hands with them because he has what he wants."
ReplyDeleteThis line I included is basically that.
Instead of the most famous players, why not just get 25 guys who want to be there and will take it seriously? I'd actually watch then
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious, dude listening to him go into palpitations is half the reason I even care.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be better to do more than one because if there was only 1 ballot per person, they'd just vote for all their favorite team's players. At least with 3, you might get people doing 1 ballot with their favorite team's players and then another ballot or two with players that really deserve it.
ReplyDeleteIt sucks that Billy Gunn's hurt. This would be an awesome passing of the torch match if its him and Road Dogg.
ReplyDeleteMark!
ReplyDeleteI remember when you had to vote at ballparks on scantrons. My mom just voted for all the Reds players, even one dude who had a .174 batting average. I cracked up.
ReplyDeleteShouldn't storms be given like super hero names or villain names? Wouldn't Hurricane Lex Luther be better than Hurricane Bill?
ReplyDeleteI think it is hilarious. If Omar Infante makes the ASG, he gets like a 2 million dollar bonus. Vote for him and screw over the Royals!
ReplyDeleteWoah, shrapnel
ReplyDeleteI'm just repeating shit my idiot brother say lol, I don't fucking know
ReplyDeleteThat'd be awesome.
ReplyDeleteAt least Waltman brings the workrate up a little.
ReplyDeleteSo annoying having JR pitch Road Dogg and X-PAC as "arguably the greatest tag team ever" after Billy got hurt.
ReplyDeleteBill was an awesome little known superhero from the 50s.
ReplyDeleteThis was his moment, he deserved it after working hurt basically all year.
ReplyDeleteWhat did they even do at Mania? Pac and Dogg?
I'd cut it back further from 25 to like a Fantasy squad of like 12 batters and 7 or so pitchers. Forget cheap substitutions and all that garbage. If it's for home field, it needs to be contested like an actual game and not guys getting subbed out after 2 innings.
ReplyDeleteI was looking forward to the Dudley's powerbombing them out of the company.
ReplyDeleteBilly was maybe the only tag guy of that era that could keep up with E&C. They're not exactly technicians yet. Billy was definitely fast enough to have some fun match time with them.
ReplyDeleteLittle Bill was a pretty cool show a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteVs Kane and Rikishi
ReplyDeletePac & Dogg vs Rikishi & Kane
ReplyDeleteBill can be a fairly horrifying name in the right context
ReplyDeletehttps://screenqueens.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/2.gif
With that Boston incident, I don't think the MLB wants more shattered cork bats at the game. I do hope they don't drape the whole ballpark with netting, though.
ReplyDeleteBattered women's shelter?
ReplyDeleteKeep up son.
ReplyDeleteOh jesus, sorry I missed it lol
ReplyDeleteThen you get shit games.
ReplyDeleteI really need to rewatch '99, because this Billy Gunn love is completely lost in me.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great name for a hurricane! Reminds of Bill Gunn who was a hurricane in the ring when he received the hot tag!
ReplyDeleteSteve Austin?
ReplyDeleteAgreed. And it's such an easy thing to do unlike the Pro Bowl
ReplyDeleteFor a second I thought about Gene Hackman from Unforgiven....
ReplyDeleteThe whole idea of all-star games is now pointless. It used to be that the only way to see certain stars is if they were in the right league (for baseball), in the World Series/Finals, or they were on the game of the week.
ReplyDelete
