Made it!
ReplyDeleteSome kind of 1999 ppv starting soon, I forget which
ReplyDeleteMost of them sucked
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping it gets better now that Russo is gone
ReplyDeleteI understood Vince Russo's philosophy for short matches in regards to Raw. People may switch to Nitro if a commercial airs during a match. But did he forget there are no commercials during PPVs? Why were there so many short meaningless matches on PPV in 1999?
ReplyDeleteUnforgiven 1999 at 8!
ReplyDeleteSorry Macklin (and everyone else who wanted Tom Hardy as your next Punisher)...
ReplyDeletehttp://uproxx.com/gammasquad/2015/06/marvel-has-found-its-punisher-and-hes-coming-to-the-second-season-of-daredevil/
You'll get Shane from "Walking Dead" filling Frank Castle's boots.
They've been a fun kind of bad instead of a deathly boring kind of bad.
ReplyDeleteI missed the Tag ladder match didn't I?
ReplyDeleteBoo.
No one wants Buried Alive?!? Cause this sucks, Two heel-heel matches to start. Shit
ReplyDeleteThat's the next month! So that's tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteWe suffered through that a while back. My condolences.
ReplyDeleteNice! I'm leaving work early tomorrow too for a doctors appt, so I'll definitely be home in time
ReplyDeleteTonight we get Al Snow vs Bossman in a CAGE MATCH! Surrounded by DOGS! Surrounded by ANOTHER CAGE!!!
ReplyDeleteThey kept on moving but they do not hold up well over time at all. The 80's stuff holds up a lot better
ReplyDeleteFuck me.
ReplyDeleteThe farther we get from the source times the more just outright silly and funny these ones have become. Like a "this is hilariously retarded" kind of vibe.
ReplyDeleteYeah i remember, it's just taking me forever cause im watching all the Raws and Nitros in between
ReplyDelete"57 terrible T-Shirt designs, and over a thousand different ways to suck."
ReplyDeleteFuck, KO rules the world.
"You're eating your dog!!!!!!"
ReplyDeleteBossman ruled harder than KO!
Bro, nobody cares about the match, I'm tellin ya, from day one I said nobody-cares-about-the-match.
ReplyDeleteThe DX band's douchey nu-metal rendition of America The Beautiful is GOLD rofl
ReplyDeleteHe's Walter White without the meth and cancer, he's awesome.
ReplyDeleteWas it you that first started calling him Walter White? Whoever first made that connection really needs to take credit because it's fucking brilliant.
ReplyDeleteBONERS WITH BAD HAIRCUTS
ReplyDeleteSeriously imagine if that guy had an actual problem some day lol
ReplyDeleteReddit has this hilarious Russo parody account that's frighteningly accurate
ReplyDeleteA hidden benefit of having kids: being able to buy stuff from an ice cream truck without seeming like a total perv.
ReplyDeleteI have discovered the Unexpected Jihad meme and it is glorious.
ReplyDeleteLord you cannot nail down when that Ladder Match takes place haha.
ReplyDeleteDon't mock me I have a problem.
ReplyDeleteI didn't, but hey, I'll take the credit!
ReplyDeleteThe website is slowly coming together. I just need to remember how to get this tagging feature to work.
ReplyDeleteCage Match With Dogs > Ladder Tag Match
ReplyDelete"THIS GUY'S 40 YEARS OLD, HE CAN'T EVEN GET ONE OF THEM PYTHONS UP!" This shit is amazing.
ReplyDeleteWe finish SummerSlam 1998.
ReplyDelete"Tag ladder match next month right guys!?"
"No next year. No Mercy 1999."
Boot up Unforgiven 1999
"Alright Tag ladder match time!"
I put beer in the freezer for this.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually a bit worried by his final statement that he was going to go home and pick a fight with his GF. Ominous.
ReplyDeleteNext question: Is he referring to the E&C/Hardyz one or the E&C/Hardys/Dudleys one?
ReplyDeleteOne mistake does not make another mistake right.
ReplyDeleteThey fight fairly frequently I think, he doesn't seem to like her much
ReplyDeleteImagine how pissed he's going to be tonight after the Warriors get destroyed.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.reactiongifs.us/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/thank_you_for_input_sherlock.gif
ReplyDeleteHe's going to attack her.
ReplyDeleteSomething new I learned today - MLB doesn't allow teams to trade draft picks.
ReplyDeletehttp://media3.giphy.com/media/5psA7b1ijEWDS/giphy.gif
ReplyDeleteHaha, that's fucking fantastic
ReplyDeleteGod I want that scene from Scandal to be shot so bad now, I'm obsessed with it
So, Rush was amazing as always last night. Very, very sad to think I may never see them live again, though.
ReplyDeleteHey that's true. I wonder why.
ReplyDeleteI thought that rule had changed... or am I thinking about trading the players AFTER they've been drafted?
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, I remember that you couldn't even trade the player AFTER he was drafted for something like a year...
It's unrelated but I found an amazing Watson gif.
ReplyDeletehttp://s9.photobucket.com/user/WildeRebellion/media/Gifs/tumblr_lxmd4hpDz91r809f1o1_500.gif.html
It's nice, it's much hard to throw away your teams future in the hopes of winning once.
ReplyDeleteLOL
ReplyDeleteThey're both going to be in A3...what the fuck
The Punk vs Hogan Twitter war caught me by surprise.
ReplyDeleteThey need to exchange a small knowing glance.
ReplyDeleteI doubt they'll even be in the same scenes really
ReplyDelete"THE CHICKEN'S LIKE AUSTIN! HE'S AFRAID OF ME! SHOULD I CHOKE HIM?!"
ReplyDeleteThey should be allowed to package draft picks, then chop them into little pieces and sell them as derivatives. Then sell derivative swaps as an extra hedge.
ReplyDeleteI love that beer in the freezer is the Marv version of a big commitment. I put a BEER in the FREEZER. For this!?
ReplyDeleteAlso, there is an exception to the rule, limited to certain compensatory picks:
ReplyDeletehttp://m.mlb.com/news/article/35452042/
Was there a knowing glance in Hobbit 3?
ReplyDeleteYou guys start Unforgiven
ReplyDeleteWhat's the Hobbit 3?
ReplyDeleteI don't know I only watched the first one and Cumberpatch only voiced a Smaug animation if I remember right
ReplyDeleteWaiting for 8. Just getting PUMPED for the CAGE WITH DOGS!
ReplyDeleteWoof!
ReplyDeleteOh they were both in all the Hobbit movies, Cumberpatch played the main villain
ReplyDeleteAnything they do together aside from Sherlock needs to feature a knowing stolen glance.
ReplyDeleteShit yeah Watson IS THE Hobbit right?
ReplyDeleteWell in this case Cumberbatch is a dragon so I vote yes.
ReplyDeleteYeah lol, the main character
ReplyDeleteI don't even blame you for not knowing this because LOTR/Hobbit is retarded
This is the show where I felt like I was cheating on someone as a 12 year old. Austin was my favorite (and I still put him as my number two favorite behind Michael's) but I wanted to like Rock more by Sep 99
ReplyDeleteSeems like a work to me.
ReplyDeleteShame Cole wasn't on commentary. He would have nailed the symbolism of those dogs being ringside for that match.
ReplyDeleteThat's like Soldja Boy trying to say something to Jay Z.
ReplyDeleteDownvote.
ReplyDeleteI magically vanish your downvote with whatever stupid magical thing I just made up to get my characters out of this predicament!
ReplyDeleteI was always Team Rocky but I hated Austin's redneck shit anyways.
ReplyDeleteIt's partly because I never seen them and he's so defined as Watson to me that it's weird to consider he has been in anything else. After Watson he's British Jim.
ReplyDeleteUpvote for "out"
ReplyDeleteUnforgiven is the first time he lost the title to someone, the title was reliquinshed, then he won it back again in a six man.
ReplyDeleteThey'd do this again in 2004, where Edge and Benoit pinned/submitted each other in a triple threat with Triple H, only for him to win the title back in the Elimination Chamber.
Yeah those are his only two characters for me too.
ReplyDeleteI really hope the Cavs win tonight to put a button on the worst day of Jobber's life.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of hoping after the Cavs win he notices that his fourth car got towed.
ReplyDeleteHis NSX also needs to get hit by a Safeway truck carrying guac.
ReplyDeleteNo one wants them to win so Camp Cleveland can be happy.
ReplyDeleteHey, Lita as one of Godfather's hoes!
ReplyDeleteApropos.
ReplyDeleteHe's just pissed he's not banging her sister.
ReplyDeleteJoel Edgerton played Uncle Owen in the prequel trilogy, he'd go on to play Tom Buchanan in the Great Gatsby, and Ramses in Exodus.
ReplyDeleteReally? What PPV?
ReplyDeleteRandom Raw episode
ReplyDeleteYou're all overblowing the Punk/Hogan thing. Odds are Punk is messing with Hogan because he knows what a goof Hogan is on Twitter. Odds are Hogan shared the tweets.
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone thinks it's going to go anywhere do they?
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just because both their teams are in the Cup?
Man. Just rewatched it, and I still can't fucking believe KO went over clean.
ReplyDeleteThis is clearly leading to a double WM Main Event of Hogan/Punk and Austin/Brock.
ReplyDeleteTrue, but most people are like"OMG Punk is such a loser!!!!" when everyone knows that Punk loves messing with people around sport time. He has a feud going with one of Chicago's rivals mascots for Christ's sake.
ReplyDeleteThe hype video is my favorite. They start playing the Offspring song and then cut it off almost immediately when Owens attacks Cena.
ReplyDeleteI find it funny that a guy who got his ass kicked by Teddy Hart in a parking lot thinks he can compete in the UFC
ReplyDelete"When I first went on Raw I said, anyone that doesn't know me isn't worth my time. Well, now EVERYONE knows me."
ReplyDelete*starts doing we're not worthy at tv*
Basically every part of this has been really good, I guess I have to assume Cena gets his win back but...who knows, that's what I thought about the title rematch with Brock too.
ReplyDeleteIn Punk's defense, Teddy's ability to do multiple moonsaults in a row is a mesmerizing thing to see in a fist fight.
ReplyDeleteConsidering he has the title match with Balor in Japan, I think they're going to make Owens seem like a monster leading into it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Owens is Triple H's boy, they're going to handle this with goggles and gloves on.
So uhhhh.....what's going on? Anything interesting today?
ReplyDeleteReal fight =/= UFC fight. Can't exactly pull guard and bust out some BJJ in a bar fight.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard that expression, I'm deeply in love with it already.
ReplyDeleteStrange goal for Mexico...
ReplyDeleteFrom how he tells it, Jobber got decapitated
ReplyDeleteJobber got a bad haircut and may go home and scream at his girlfriend because of it.
ReplyDeleteThis is the last Russo show unless we wanna start watching 1999 WCW instead,
ReplyDeleteHow is he typing with no head?
ReplyDeleteSame way Mike Tyson would beat the fuck out of you with no arms.
ReplyDeleteThat's what they're there for. So Bill Burr tells me anyway. And then I laugh....
ReplyDeleteDoesn't he usually do that?
ReplyDeleteBut once both ears were bitten off what would he do?
ReplyDeleteTyson would pick up an arm with his teeth and flail like crazy. That, in itself, is enough to scare me.
ReplyDeleteBooting up Unforgiven 1999! EXCITED!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking about those headbutts man, dude had a fucking MEAN headbutt
ReplyDeleteThat's because you have no discipline. I'm always able to latch on an arm bar when I'm in a bar fight.
ReplyDeleteMind you, it's usually against the bar stool and I'm about ten whiskey shots deep into the evening.
Right there with ya, fire rings and strippers!
ReplyDeleteOh jeez. lol
The real question is what do you call....WE ARE EXPERIENCING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES
ReplyDeleteBlackman jobs to a dildo, AMIRITE?
ReplyDeletehttp://i.imgur.com/Ns463HA.gif
ReplyDeleteI like to see Ric Flair try and fuck with this referee.
WOOOO and first pause of the evening
ReplyDeleteI wanted to say kid gloves, but that phrase sounded cooler.
ReplyDeleteMy first PPV in person. I believe you can see Bulldog showing us up cause we were giving him a ton of shit on his entrance He just stopped and flexed in our faces and said 'How bout those' or something like that.
ReplyDeleteThat sucks the network is freezing. I mean, you put a beer in the freezer for this.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really cool set.
ReplyDeleteI did!
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, are they ever going to work on that, Netflix never never never skips like this
That sounds like a Batman theme.
ReplyDeleteIt does sound very Schumacher
ReplyDeleteBond action sequence.
ReplyDeleteWhere is this show?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/04/02/hulk-hogan-pranked-heartwarming-retweet-paedophile-josef-fritzl_n_6991590.html
ReplyDeleteReasons Hogan on Twitter is the best, he'll retweet ANYTHING.
Unforgiven 99? Charlotte.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte
ReplyDeleteThe Great Referee Strike of 1999!
ReplyDeleteThat collective bargaining agreement is quoted as precedent in court cases ALL OVER THE COUNTRY!
Explain. Because I have the memory of a lamp.
ReplyDeleteI thought you were kidding, than just remembered you weren't.
ReplyDeleteLol Brawler as a ref!
ReplyDeleteGosh yeah, this beer isn't cold yet lol
ReplyDeletePeople kept beating on referees so all the referees went on strike. So we have random substitute referees like Harvery Whippleman and Tom Prichard all night.
ReplyDeleteThe dream is over Aaron Harang. You have officially been future endeavoured by Stranger's Dangers.
ReplyDeleteAnd some guy named Steve Austin for the main event!
ReplyDeleteThe first part is actually pretty funny and creative, the second part kind blows.
ReplyDeleteFish sticks with honey BBQ sauce is actually pretty damn good.
ReplyDeleteI screwed up and rewound. Time Stamp?
ReplyDelete5:30
ReplyDeleteBryan's story on the DVD about his army jacket for the Punk match is great.
ReplyDelete(Too many prepositions.)
It's better to take up smoking crack than to watch 99 Russo WCW
ReplyDeleteSteve Blackman currently holds a 6.04 rating on Cagematch and is defined as a brawler/martial arts wrestler.
ReplyDeleteJust me or Val looking a little more jacked.
ReplyDeletePrepping for the main event push. Same thing that happened to Billy earlier in the year.
ReplyDeleteand a bounty hunter
ReplyDeleteThey both do.
ReplyDeleteI'm either going to get drunk and watch TV or eat meatballs. Decisions.
ReplyDeletecome on man, follow the script.
ReplyDeleteWWE is so stale right now I'm willing to bet Steve Blackman would get over huge.
ReplyDeleteMan, Blackman was smooth as shit in the ring, it's a shame he could never figure out the showmanship part
ReplyDelete"Pay window" just doesn't have the same ring as "pay windah, baybeh!"
ReplyDeleteI saw random backstage segment on Youtube around 2010 or so where Blackman came back and sees JBL getting makeup put on his face. He proceeds to freak out.
ReplyDeleteVal's main event run makes Billy's look like Stone Cold.
ReplyDeleteThey don't seem mutually exclusive.
ReplyDeleteHe could just never put a match together.
ReplyDeleteVal Venis currently holds a 6.12 score on Cagematch and his style is described as "allarounder."
ReplyDeleteExcuse me, "paaaaaaaaaaaaay windah, baaaybeh!"
ReplyDeleteThe meatballs may slow down the alcohol.
ReplyDeleteYeah he always seemed like he had to be led, but damn, everything he did looked so good
ReplyDeleteVal at least had some good matches in his main event run. I seem to remember him having a fantastic match with Stone Cold on smackdown.
ReplyDeleteHis strike were great but he lacked traditional moves.
ReplyDeleteHe's been death on PPV the last year or so. It's easy to forgot just how anti-charismatic he was. You think its cool weapons stuff but its just awkward staring at the crowd in the silence.
ReplyDeleteSome of the replacement songs the Network uses for PPV themes are awful. It's always sime weird techno or industrial stuff. They don't have nu-metal instrumentals in their sound library?
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOQ5aiDb2MY
ReplyDeleteHere it is. 2013 apparently, but I have no idea when this happened.
Made it home safe. I did encounter some non-Caucasians along the way, however I was able to defuse those situations with a couple of combat rolls and without further escalation.
ReplyDeleteI have Blackman's shoot interview and its pretty damn good, actually.
ReplyDeleteMade it home safe last night. We flew into a storm and I thought for a minute that Warrior really did take over the plane. I was scared but don't tell anyone.
ReplyDeleteHe had some fun matches with Rocky and Austin on TV.
ReplyDeleteHell i'd be interested in it
ReplyDeleteBlackman had the driest humor in the world, and that's what ended making him one of the funniest guys on the roster.
ReplyDeleteUm, I need an explanation on Teddy in a blonde wig.
ReplyDeleteThe dead silence after that Man in the Moon joke was fucking hilarious.
ReplyDelete"Party Time!"
ReplyDeleteAccording to Cagematch Val Venis's alter-ego is "Senor Penis."
ReplyDeleteWas Jim Carrey really a jerk or was it all a work?
ReplyDeleteDecent match. Both guys tried.
ReplyDeleteI can even remember at the time thinking to myself 'Why is this guy so fucking dull? Seems like he should be bad ass.' He's like a charisma vampire that just sucks the life out of anyone that gets near him.
ReplyDeleteYeah, good enough opener, now some weapons stuff I guess?
ReplyDeleteBB!
ReplyDeleteWhen he was announced as Shane's replacement in that ladder match, the crowd went decidedly MILD.
ReplyDeleteYeah and a weird thing with Jim Dotson and the big titted nurse that would become BB
ReplyDeleteHe refused to promote Kick Ass 2 because it was violent. So at the very least he is an idiot.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea. I bet Carrey is exhausting to be around. He seems like a Robin Williams type that can't turn it off.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they were ever going to try with Dotson as a wrestler.
ReplyDeleteDestrucity....
ReplyDeleteHe read the script and cashed the checks, right?
ReplyDeleteWhat the fuck is even happening?!
ReplyDeleteI am lost as shit.
Scored a raise at my part time gig not to mention just discovered I have a personal day and paid week's vacation available.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get it either because they never did do anything with Dotson.
ReplyDeleteWhat I've heard is that Carrey will pick one random persona for each person he's close to in his life and be that person at all times. To some he appears as a humble "Aw Shucks" guy, to others he's a raving lunatic, to others he's a sweet childlike person, to others he's demanding hollywood asshole.
ReplyDeleteThe man's entire life is a work in someway or another according to the rumors.
Dotson? Dotson! We've got Dotson here!!!!!
ReplyDelete
