I saw someone say that footage is actually old and not from this week. the Kurt Russell stuff today shows just how a fake post can go viral.

I could see him not wanting to work with Dark Side people after the Plane Ride episode.

So, the AFL...

Episode I is going to have a 25th anniversary (oh god, kill me) re-release this month, so expect to see plenty of clips like this.

Hitting someone with a LJN Bundy is illegal in 12 states and might also be against the Geneva Convention.

Also Vince was spotted in New York walking with a cane into a restaurant. Normally I'd think he'd be faking for sympathy, but a former bodybuilding workaholic fueled by cocaine and insanity, who's suffered multiple legitimate, severe muscle tears in his legs.... Eh.

Update: the elbow pad and Rocky Maivia entrance kit are only available til Sunday at noon EDT. The 1v1 fight with the Rock isn't bad at all, the 8-person tag matches for the elbow pad is pretty annoying because you're required to use much lower level cards than the enemy team, but that mostly just means it takes 3-4 finishers on the same victim for them to stay down for 3. (There are 2 of those, 1 for men and 1 for women, so I guess you're getting points instead of the second elbow pad)

No, but one of the pilots did mention something about dragging Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes.

God damn it.

I love the unique atmosphere of early afternoon at Daily's Place. Fun opener from the Infantry vs the Outrunners. Dug the JD Drake promo. Bunch of squashes in between. Solid quick main event from Aminata vs Robyn Renegade ends a short episode this week at under an hour. Good to see Robyn back after a month+ away.

The McMahon lawsuit thread may have been closed too soon…

It's fairly common amongst folks his age. My father does the same thing.

So my advice to my daughter and to everyone is unless you’re a total completionist, just do the absolute bare minimum on any of these minigames. I don’t think any of them matter in the end. And yeah, there’s a whole lot more of them. I just think of all the time I could have saved by basically speed running every time you go to the Gold Saucer. And not getting every single Queens Blood card even though I liked playing Queens Blood.

Hey, I'm Lee. This must be a movie about me. Flattering. Not going to watch the trailer because I know what happens

If someone hit their opponent with an LJN King Kong Bundy, I’d buy that as a death finisher.

Why the fuck does Ric, or whoever the fuck runs his Twitter, fucking capitalize every fucking word!!?!?!?

Some other things about this show… I was wrong to criticize Jericho so quickly. I think the Hook match still stunk, but this is maybe the best trolling heel shtick he’s done since he returned to WWE with the LED jacket and was in that multi man tag match where he got tagged in danced around, pumped up the crowd, immediately tagged out, and then left. Plus, I think pairing him with Big Bill will only help Bill even more. This is a really good reinvention for Jericho. How in the fuck did this company get me to give a shit about non-Jungle Boy Jack Perry? That CM Punk thing was maybe the best thing to happen to him. In fact, I think this version of the Elite is maybe its best iteration. Jack Perry in this role reminds me a lot of Brian Pillman before he left WCW. The whole angle is humming along too. I got a good laugh out of the opening of the show, thought teasing Omega as Swerve’s opponent only for it to be Christian was brilliant. That’s also another great example of everything mattering. I think it sometimes takes too long for it to matter, but Christian looping around to the attack on Nick and losing that tag match was excellent. There’s also a ton of really interesting wrinkles with other storylines, like what Callis is doing with Trent and OC, the slow build to Stat turning on Willow, and if May will see that Toni is afraid of her.

That might be my favorite Wretched, just because every song sounds like it was from an entirely different session Maybe they just tried different rooms in Virus squat to see what came out?

Dammit. I still don't get Me TV on Dish, and miss my Svengoolie so much. We probably won't get this either. Hopefully this is better than Boomerang, in any case.

H-Bomb's Coup de métal... this EP kicks ass. H-Bomb didn't record a ton of stuff before broke up, but this EP and their 1984 Attaque LP are some blistering French metal. This gets my highest recommendation if you're even slightly interested in metal from '83. The Sisters of Mercy's The Reptile House E.P. -- goth rock is distinctly not my thing, but I can listen to it. This EP, however, was slow. Really slow. United Mutation's Fugitive Family... it always used to amuse me how metal bands came up with their names. It was like they scribbled down a bunch of badass words and drew them from a hat. Now I'm thinking that hardcore band names may be even more amusing. Then again, based on some of these guys' lifestyles some of these names may not be a joke. This is a pretty cool hardcore record that is notable for its vocals. The grunting sounds close to Sakevi from G.I.S.M. Not sure if that was an influence. Amebix's No Sanctuary... these guys would go on to become crust punk legends. Here, they were just starting out. Sounds a bit like early Killing Joke. Mindless Sinners' Master of Evil... Mindless Sinners were a short-lived Swiss group that played fairly typical Euro metal. Worth checking out if you're on a Diamond Head kick and feel like unearthing a largely forgotten band with a similar sound. 3 Teens Kill 4's No Motive... quirky record from New York City's No Wave scene. The band only released this single EP. Very arty, for want of a better word. Having read some Hip Hop Family Tree recently it's impossible not to notice the hip hop influence. Discharge's Warning: Her Majesty's Government Can Seriously Damage Your Health EP... there's no beating around the bush with this EP title. There's also a lovely drawing of Mrs. Thatcher on the cover. Their fans see this as a drop-off from their previous material, and they would continue to drop further, but I liked this well enough. It's slower and has more of a metal sound, but I'm ok with that. The Nurse's Nurse... all-girl Japanese hardcore band. Like you're gonna resist. It's fairly catchy as you can imagine. Worth checking out if you like Shonen Knife or the 5.6.7.8's. Adrenalin O.D.'s Let's Barbeque... very suburban sounding hardcore record. I don't know if really was a bunch of neighborhood teenagers jamming together but that's the aesthetic. Vixen's Made in Hawaii... how could beautiful, serene Hawaii produce this pulsating speed metal record? Wasn't a big fan of the female vocalist, but the guitar sound was awesome. Gotham City's Black Writs... decent Swedish metal, but the vocalist had no chops. Wretched's In nome del loro potere tutto è stato fatto... Christ almighty, you have to be brave to listen to this one. It felt like a pair of arms were climbing out of the speakers and shaking me senseless. The Nits' Kilo... this band keeps confusing me. I love some of the singles I've heard from them, but it doesn't seem to come together on their records. At least not for me. Francesco De Gregori's La donna cannone... nice change of pace. Basically, Italian singer-songwriter doing contemporary folk. Nice break from all the hardcore EPs from '83. The Embarassment's Death Travels West... okay, now here's a bit of a discovery for me. And I really mean for me as others like Robert Christgau have championed this short-lived group. Really upbeat, enjoyable post-punk record. Probably owes more to the late 70s than being a true 1983 record, but it made me want to listen to the rest of the group's output. The discovery of the week.

I'm surprised. Why wouldn't they interview him? If Bischoff is even cool with him now and didn't have some kind of "I won't interview if he's on it" veto, then...?

So you’re telling me there’s a chance

If only this could have been predicted. Oh wait, literally everyone in the world predicted this. What a dumb franchise. As a Bills fan I can't talk shit about franchises that don't win but at least don't be overly dumb in the process.
