Awful looking moonsault. No wonder they never let him do it on TV.

I fucking love Gonzalez's sig. On a related note... is there a way to still see someone's sig but block all their posts?

Meltzer is reporting Brooke Hogan has been fired from TNA.

dammit.

Found another one potentially. Sid refers to himself as a "fuel injected suicide machine," which is a Nightrider quote.

Also speaking of crazy fire pictures:

PIMP!!

Watching Tebow play keeps my own NFL dreams alive.

That's one less yard than my deceased grandmother threw for tonight.

ROAD HOUSE SIG! YES! "A polar bear fell on me." To go with one of this month's themes:

I do believe we have our first openly gay WWE superstar ever: Darren Young. Good on ya, Darren! http://www.tmz.com/2013/08/15/darren-young-wwe-superstar-gay/

Sorry you had to put her down. This is my cat Hershey chilling in an empty Ice Mountain case.

I DON'T BELIEVE OPRAH CAN BE POOR IN A MOVIE! TOTALLY NOT BELIEVABLE! You people were fucking incredible in that thread.

Miguel Tejada takes amphetamines = he's a bad person and deserves to have his career ended. Aaron/Mays/etc take amphetamines = IT'S JUST A PART OF THE GAME

Barbarian started using the face paint/Road Warriors look when he came into Jim Crockett Promotions. That was late 1984 or early 1985. The Powers of Pain team with the Barbarian formed in 1988. BTW, he was never actually billed as "Konga the Barbarian" on a show or called that on commentary. He was simply "The Barbarian". The Apter mags are the only one who called him "Konga the Barbarian" to differentiate him from Nord the Barbarian who started in World Class at about the same time. His previous gimmick was King Konga and he wore tights with the word "Konga" down the leg. When he started doing the Barbarian gimmick, he wore the same tights.

You clearly haven't heard the Cars for Kids one 1-877 KARS FOR KIDS! K-A-R-S KARS FOR KIDS! DONATE YOUR KAR TODAY! The K bothers me most about that one.

Are there actually people out there that think F13 is a better series than Nightmare? Because, really, there is no legacy to fuck up with Friday the 13th. They are bad movies (keep in mind, I own them all and love them like strange, deformed children) with virtually no redeemable qualities outside of exploitation elements. Some of the Nightmare movies are actually legitimately good films, and even the worse ones are world's better than pretty much all of the Friday films. I have greater love in my heart for Friday. Maybe because I was really young when it started and there was a mystique about it. It was forbidden and terrifying to me for years before I actually saw one. Maybe because Nightmare 1-5 are almost never on cable, so I just haven't seen them enough to get all trivia-nerd about them. But I think it's just the simple purity of camp and the woods as scary places and how, regardless of the other qualities, all of the first six Fridays get that part right. They luxuriate in the environment, and give you lots of slow panning shots across the treeline and creepy wooden buildings with giant crawlspaces. Nothing is more important to me in horror than "space" and how well a film uses it to make you feel tense. That's one thing I hated about the remake...there was so much super closeup, shaky stuff and the spaces just looked like the spaces in the Texas Chainsaw remakes, and a bunch of others. It was generic. That may also be where Nightmare loses some tiny thing for me. It succeeds really well, like SCREAM would later, in making the suburbs creepy at times...but the main "spaces" are sort of abstract dreamscapes and factories and somehow a big giant surreal factory is actually less creepy to me than a simple silent forest...with a guy out there in it somewhere...with a bag over his head...

Start calling him Mr. June.

That's twice you have marginalized this point. They have shown us absolutely nothing to support this idea of Bray being indifferent or "treating it like nothing." If he had absolutely no reaction to the Ring of Fire stip you might have a point, but Bray has embraced the idea. Perking up at every mention of it, laughing maniacally and a devilish grin is just about the opposite of "no selling." Those are significant character traits that double as build up for the actual gimmick of the match. I do agree with Bink that the Family should be afraid of Kane and the ring of fire, but not Bray. If they properly convey that, it will make the moment where they walk through the fire to help their fearless leader that much better. Harper is the key to that moment, as I feel he is miles ahead of the other family member.

I liked the NIGHTMARE series more than FRIDAY, and tthought the FRIDAY remake was tolerable (save the ending) while I HATED the NIGHTMARE remake. Probably because the original NOES is one of my personal favorite movies ever, and I had much higher hopes for the NIGHTMARE remake. I think it's hilarious Betty dumps Stan for Louis in NERDS because apparently Louis is a better lay on his first try than the presumably-experienced Stan.

Belichick will probably use Tebow as some hybrid QB/FB/TE for a few plays every game to keep opponents on their toes. Which is fine, no harm can be done there. That gif looks like a combination of a shot put throw and a duck falling to Earth after getting hit by 12-gauge buckshot.

I love Baseball-Ref, cuz I can do shit like this. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/DET/DET199407100.shtml

I'm actually one of eight octuplets. My mum had her hands full.

BookDust Booker T and Golddust

Oh wow, there are so many to choose from....a few recent ones: KING BOOKAH Commentator CM Punk (a.k.a. Men's Wharehouse CM Punk) "Dashing" Cody Rhodes (mainly for the theme song and promos on beauty tips) Phantom of the Opera Cody Rhodes (that version of his theme song was just so much better) Winking ADR Racist Big Show David Otunga, Attorney At Law Sexy Repairman Dolph Crazy R-Truth

I don't think there is a version of Eddy Guerrero that isn't one of my favorites. Because he's the best ever.

You know what, I take back my comments. Who the hell cares? It's a great moment.To add on -- What do I care if how it got dropped was worked? It happened and a lot of good, positive stuff is seemingly coming out of it.

Maybe I'm too big of a fanboy or something but Bray Wyatt is the absolute best. His feud w/ Kane is well behind Bryan/Cena and Punk/Lesnar in terms of fan attention. But The Family has absolutely hit it out of the park since Day 1 and continued to do so again. Great segment.

I'll throw one more out there- 1988 Varsity Club Mike Rotundo. Loved that gimmick so much better than anything else he ever did.

Anne Hathaway is in Calgary?

@TheGarfoose: You know what would help Jeter recover faster... wonder if he knows a guy, a teammate or someone who could point him in the right direction.

Finally! Some good news out of TNA!

CM Punk as Straight Edge Jesus was pretty great. Heel Eddy in WCW. He was able to convey not giving a shit about anyone in a convincing way. Heel Eddy in 05 was pretty great for this reason too. Goofy Kurt Angle is the best Kurt Angle. Crazy Old Man Flair from Taboo Tuesday 05 until the Foley Feud,. That cage match with HHH was awesome...and the TLC with Edge was awesome too. Vince from the HBK feud up until he got blowed up. Vince vs. God,,,Vince as ECW Champion...Vince going uber batshit...then boom. What a helluva run.

Oh, Batista's heel turn from a few years ago.

Wow, I've never ever seen that Horseman symbol. Whoever came up with that, approved that, and then allowed it to be used was a fucking idiot.

Uh, no shit.

Diaz only wants undeserved title fights nowadays.

I want to punch that watermark in the face

I don't want to say much, but see Mad Max 1 and then look at some Mox/Ambrose promos and tell me if that cat doesn't remind you of somebody.

Would you trust this man with you're Kids? We all like close ups of gash's Bringing cultures and races together. WRESTLING~ "No, you the man" Team Fuck You was ready Need a belt? Still Cool If i had a phone it would look like this

Yep. You sure showed us with those stills of extras. Why you ain't some highfalutin' movie executive, I have no idea.

The restaurant talk only makes up 27% of the Wrestling Observer thread, just skip over it if you don't like it.

And people think Chris Hero is fat now.
