So Everbody's In LA is kind of like Mulaney doing Carson as written by Hunter S. Thompson I love it James

Well, duh I really did not expect Kriegshog to come up. I just bought the re-release of their first LP, which is fuckin nuclear. The new one is almost totally different. I'm... not entirely sold on it yet. And of course, The Chisel is awesome. In another world they would be huge.

Hot damn that was some quality professional wrestling tonight. I did not that we’d get anything better over the next few weeks than Ricochet/Ilya. Great way to bring Ilya onto the main roster and awesome showing from Ric. But then here comes Sheamus/Gunther giving us an all-time great Raw match. Those two are just a perfect pairing for each other. Neither man cares about their health at all and we are better off for it. Iyo/Natalya was also real good. Sami with a quick banger promo, too.

There is that Bobby Roode match where he proves he will absolutely bleed like a stuck pig.

Ricochet match was really a Ricochet match. They dragged out the end and Ilja overemotes like always, but it was still good. Gunther/Sheamus was what you expected. Nice finish and diversion from the neck to the leg, just so Sheamus didn't get chopped right between the shoulder blades anymore, Jesus Christ (or "Jeez Louise" if you are McAfee). It was funny how Kaiser was initially treating the match like he was watching TV in the WWE style, standing sideways to get that camera profile. Also, I didn't think I'd get the opportunity to flip off my TV and say "Fuck you Nixon!" to my TV tonight, but there you go.

And then TNT rubs it in on Denver by playing the nWo Wolfpack theme song as the game goes to halftime. Jesus that was crazy. Denver HAS to start punching back instead of shot hunting. None of it's going to be easy; if you're the champs, then take and make the contested ones.

Meanwhile, Minnesota is utterly mauling Denver. Like up by 26 at the half. Sheesh.

Well, to be fair, Philly got fucked in MSG in game 2 because the refs ignored two blatant fouls (and ignored Nick Nurse calling time out)

Woke up in time for Gunther vs. Sheamus. Great match. One of the best this year. Both battered each other. Sheamus actually had Gunther's handprint on his back. Will seek out Ilja Dragunov vs. Ricochet.

Insert Raziel and me laughing our asses off here.

And Ross himself has confirmed Brady was joking.

It's also absolute horseshit when you actually break it down. Guaranteed money didn't kill anything. It sure as hell ain't killing the major stick and ball sports in the United States. You're not working the Cincinnati Gardens on a Tuesday or Wednesday and then doing Louisville Gardens the next night and surviving solely off touring. The vast revenue streams companies have access to subsidize everything and create more opportunities. Also work harder, how? I thought the complaint was these guys need to just slow down. Now they're not doing enough? I would like to see his rationale behind that. I mean I heard Cornette say something to that effect maybe when AEW first came about years ago now, but literally none of it made sense unless you're living in 1986 and don't intend to mentally leave the 1980s anytime soon.

Wow the Pacers got absolutely hosed by the refs in New York tonight. I’ll never understand how the NBA will take an exciting finish and decide the game with questionable ref calls and free throws. LET THEM PLAY. nah everybody wants to watch Zach Zarba make the tough call on an illegal screen or a foul on the inbound. so stupid

The Hannibal TV. *sigh* Do have to wonder what Van Dam says about this.

Any other top team in the world would sack their manager with that league record.

Putski was okay, but the lack of charisma was always gonna hurt him. Even getting on the gas didn't do much for his career. Didn't help that his leg exploded live on PPV. Brian Christopher/Lawler was pretty good worker. His personal demons though and lack of self awareness was always going to be his undoing. Also, the whole Jim Ross chiding and ridiculing Jerry on commentary about Brian's paternity. It was strange cause how is he going to get out of his old man's shadow if you keeping doing that? It took a goofy comedy gimmick to turn his fortunes around.

Tomorrow's games will tell the story, but I get the feeling we're in for two boring second round series and two batshit crazy ones. Jamal Murray just made the money hand gesture at one of the refs and got away with it. Granted, he was arguing a bullshit call, but...

Absolutely wrestlers should be getting a percentage of everything. But when did Punk say that? Back when he first left WWE? I ask because he most recently said that guaranteed money almost killed the business and that wrestlers would work harder getting paid based on the house; they’d be hungrier. That’s quite the anti-labor about face.

This is the most defeats Manchester United have suffered in a Premier League season (13). Manchester United have never finished below seventh in Premier League, they are currently eighth. Since the start of last season, only Nottingham Forest (five) have lost more Premier League away games by a four goal margin or higher than Manchester United (three). The Selhurst Park thrashing was Manchester United’s heaviest defeat of the season. Manchester United have conceded 81 goals in all competitions this season, their most in a campaign since 1976-77 (also 81). They have not finished a season on a minus goal difference since the 1989-90 Division One season. They are currently on -1. Manchester United’s expected goals on Monday was 0.35 – their second worst of the season. Manchester United still have to play Arsenal, Newcastle United, Brighton in the Premier League. The last game of the season vs. Manchester City in the FA Cup Final.

They kind of went out of their way with the lighting. When he was on the New Jack episode a couple years ago he just looked fat and happy. Here, a little dessicated. But yeah I mean his wife even said he should be dead; hell, he DID die from shooting that Oxy. And hey, we didn't get our Sabu LSD match talk! Hopefully that'll be on the extended cut.

Putski and Christopher were both guys that even as a kid I knew were awful nepotism hires. Putski might've been even worse than the idiotic antics of Lawler. That was a situation of young me saying "this guy can't do ANYTHING."

yeah, Silver King is totally underrated in the pantheon of WCW luchadores. took some looking, but i did find this listing for a sealed copy on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/265347402868?epid=0&itmmeta=01HX8D8FNRH9D8KABNY0AQCMEW&hash=item3dc7f00c74:g:~j8AAOSwuiJhXdNU&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4Krq0qCJicuJWsB7AounO8pV2gMmwgPYgEtc7MUGOJ70sSJ%2B1ly6gKlUm36e7gLHiCV6CfPJ4wP6%2Fb7vYVL3IZHMOqBP5Aev8OH5kOemS1NSgLne%2F9yl62d0FKAqofIL5U7SXrXUVchNLHArn3cLgYKoOE1QU8OXV4O%2F1GTwjVoBnUyzMCASkkQABQPSp79gK3eLZMiAUag1oZrS1jIG9DBANmE0fgqIwBzUo9BUjO3IwztwFIcsDb08DMqLOsZHtZEtX%2F5oWcQbDiDT4O5CgSzQCWKjatXctT10WAuaLE9S|tkp%3ABk9SR_z6oY3qYw $350, with one copy already sold! i am watching mid-2005 TNA. James Storm is fine, but definitely the lesser of AMW. He doesn't really DO much to be anything other than 'FIP that makes the hot tag to Chris Harris'. i am hoping he gets a small singles run to stand out a bit more.

Movies today... Uncut Gems (Netflix, leaving on Wednesday) St. Vincent (Hulu, leaving next week) Humane (saw at the theaters) Some Kind of Heaven (Hulu, leaving next week)

That brings up the question of which characters in cinema secretely are chronic masturbators. Any guesses?
