You want to know why God hates Cleveland? Because it's inhabited by assholes who try to WHAT Dusty Rhodes.

"We're taking you bitches hostage"

LOST SPOILER: It was terrible

Ben Roethlisberger looks pretty good after a couple of drinks that he's served you.

Fuck I love Roman Reigns. During that Dusty segment Big Show is yelling at Ambrose and Rollins and Reigns is outside grabbing three chairs like he's bringing a six pack to a tailgate. Then he gets in, looking at Big Show and smacking the chair. Eat shit you blubbering buffoon Roman Reigns takes care of business. Then in the beatdown he's like "Fuck it, I'm taking Kofi with me!" He's the best.

Weepin' of Mass Destruction.

That would be great but, legitimately, the WWE could face insider trading issues from that. She could wear a mask.

In my line the guy in front of me saw a girl he likes and called her name, she came over and they chatted. He was acting the smooth mofo. Then she said "what's that?" And pointed to his jacket collar. He looked, and there was a cummy old sock hanging from the Velcro. She pissed herself and he would've gladly shot himself in the face if tesco sold guns.

Zack Ryder tweeting "I WAS ON RAW 3 TIMES!!!" makes me laugh way more than any reasonable human should

Wouldn't it be great if Hunter keeps delaying getting a new champion crowned for several months? Initially, the title will be in a podium, then next week he's carrying it, then it's on his shoulder, then on his waist all the time, like he's the goddamn champion. It's his belt after all.

If it was 1980 and they ran this angle, there would be a smoking crater where the Tampa Armory once stood. That's a compliment.

I kind of hate it when you're funny.

With Booker T being fired as G.M. of Smackdown I was really hoping to see the return of Black Snow. Chet Lemon would be a bonus.

Are you kidding me? I want Road Dogg and Billy Bad Ass to be the new Stooges.

Next time folks bellyache for three weeks about why the babyfaces aren't doing anything and they're all spineless, please remember that this is why they didn't do anything for three weeks. Because the worse things get, the more it means something when the Samoan Swat Rockers and Dolph Gunn finally lead the charge to save Daniel Bryan. Damn that was fun.

I'm gonna start spoiling old episodes of Melrose Place and Beverly Hills 90210 since contemporary tv isn't accepted here.

Qatar is the fattest place on earth with half of their adult citizens being obese and a rate of diabetes twice that of the US. They should find a fat Arab heel. How about:

Titus Young would have wrecked everyone's shit and then been found backstage asleep in a dumpster. They should do a gimmick like that where a dude is physically great at the pro wres and on his day can beat anyone, but is a known idiot who can just as easily be found in the wrong building feeding stray cats Oreos.

Road Dogg has to show up now. He'll be all pissed off and Triple H will try and reassure him that Scott is being "taken care of." Road Dogg won't get it leading to The Shield vs New Age Outlaws.

THAT was an epic three hour block of wrestling right there. Super tight and 90% of everything ties into the bigger picture angle. They're on fire right now. Great start to the show that sends the next part of the case into action. I love HHH dropping general counsel words like "abeyance." I loved that the angle got explained but not spelled out -- trusting the audience to understand that HHH ordered Scott to do a fast count in case Bryan was going to win, then have Scott throw Bryan under the bus. And then HHH had to fire Scott to cover his tracks but gives him a generous severance package. That is straight-up Enron sleaze right there when a boss makes an underling participate in a crime and then fires him but pays him hush money on the way out the door. I'm surprised we didn't get a segment on the app where Brad Maddox had Armstrong sign non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements. I also loved Steph and HHH "remotivating" Orton, too. Dolph/Dean was so friggin' good. The crowd was super hot for Ziggler. I loved the little explanation of Dolph's losing streak -- HHH got into his head. Dolph gets a huge win to get the monkey off his back and expose the first chink in The Shield's armor. The Dusty segment was on the short list of my favorite segments of all-time. It was PERFECT. Dusty went Hard Times on us, talked up the importance of family, and wasn't going to take any crap from Steph. Steph is absolutely incredible right now as the corporate HR monster from hell. I loved the Sophie's Choice and Dusty attempting to walk away when he got trapped. Steph making Show do her bidding was brilliant. Dusty wants to do what's best for his family and wants to walk away. Show wants to do what's best for his family and that's get paid since he's broke because of his poor financial planning. He does. But the ultimate benefactor, of course, is the McMahon family -- the rich get richer. Miz/Orton was a spirited brawl that became absolutely grotesque brutality. Steph/HHH's plot worked as Randy Orton reverted to previous form and tried to end the career of a man in front of his parents in his hometown. Put dickery. Heyman's wheelchair gloating was THE best "I told you so" segment I can ever remember. Ryback "hating bullies" is great hypocrisy. He's such an awesome meathead. Heyman kissing Ryback on the cheek was the ultimate in pathetic heel trolling. I didn't think there would be a segment better than Dusty's tonight. There wasn't but, damn it, Heyman tried his absolute best to steal the show. Again. That triple threat tag match was a really fun sprint. The Tensai suplex spot was ridiculous. I loved that Cesaro's swing is now a teaser to buy the app. Great end sequence. Usos vs. Real Americans is just quality between a bunch of really good workers. And that main event -- man oh man oh man. That match is one of my favorite matches all year. It will probably get slept on when we look back at the best spots but we saw Roman Reigns emerge as a guy who can go on his own and not just in tags. I mean, Bryan's at Flair/Eddie levels now of making EVERYONE look good but Reigns is a beast. He's going to be the Batista of this angle. So many great spots. I love all the trash talk.Then that end. Enough is enough. It's time for a change. YES! YES! YES!Fandango/R-Truth was mindless fun that I mostly checked e-mail during. The divas didn't advance anything except to further prove AJ rules. I walked my dog during Sandow/RVD -- I don't mind either of those guys but I didn't give her much of a walk tonight.

A HUUUUUGGGE Fuck You to Tacoma Public Schools, specifically Jennie Reed Elementary. My son, who is non-verbal Autistic, ran from school today. This took place within the first hour, so no chance it took place during recess. My wife was called and told that he had been found a mile and a half away near the high school. My question tomorrow (when I go down to chew somebody's ass) is going to be how long was he gone before the police were called? For a six year old to make it a mile and a half away, that takes a while. Luckily, he was found safe, and he's home now (on punishment for running away). I know I don't usually post in this thread (or on the board as a whole), but I needed to vent without stressing my wife out even more than she already is.

What's to forget? Is this the part where you beat the shit out of me and I fall on my neck, or is this the part where you beat the shit out of me and I fall on my face?

He put all of his character points into appearance Charisma instead of talent Dexterity. Damn it. Nerd better.

My son can tie his shoes now. Eat a dick velcro. My kid has life skills.

I think the "This is more JCP than Attitude Era" explains why I love this so much. I also don't feel sleazy for liking the post-SummerSlam reset. There's no cursing or attacks on women. And the violence the heels of had is great deception. The nastiest stuff has been a kendo stick attack on Punk, The Shield doing some powerbombs, Randy hitting the RKO, Big Show flattening someone with a punch and Randy Orton Pillmanizing Miz's skull. It all looks great but they're really protected spots -- there's no elderly women being put through tables or anything of the sort. It LOOKS brutal but it's all playacting. The reactions and dread and seriousness everyone is playing these things with has been fantastic. JCP did this, too. The angle everyone remembers the most was The Horseman rolling Dusty in the parking lot. They blurred out the part where they broke his hand -- they obviously edited around it. The B and C stories have also been solid-to-great. The Punk/Heyman stuff would be the best angle of the year if it wasn't happening the same time the best angle of the decade was unfolding. ADR's really capable of having good matches and being a general jerk against guys like RVD. The divas, at the least, have been compelling because of AJ. The comedy dance-off stuff w/ Fandango is dumb but it's good for kids and is far from the worst humor they've ever done.I think the unsung hero of the post-SummerSlam stuff has been Michael Cole. He's been awesome at just telling the stories and serving as the audience proxy, selling disgust and admiration right when it should be called for. JBL's great at being a heel announcer spin jobbing.

..Well it's Dracula 3D. I have no idea what it looks like. I probably won't see it. I'll just wait outside the door and ask him what hotel Asia is staying at.

Barnett vs. Browne - 168 I like this fight.

Fuck the Packers.

Worse than Walt killing Jesse. Everybody can laugh now, but this board has A LOT of threads and a lot of people in those threads talking about TV shows they're starting to get into; book series they're starting to read, and movies they're interested in seeing. Notes are being taken. Lives will be ruined. See you all in a couple of weeks.

My official ruling is that Meltzer does not get to be called BIG DAVE.

So, was this a rare non-horrible use of a real name? No, it's even more horrible when Dusty motherfucking Rhodes is doing it.

We made our first batch of 30 bottles of wine for the wedding and we picked out our wedding cake on Saturday. It’s really happening – 283 days to go

Im on the fence as to how "in on it" Freight Train is. Sometimes I watch it and feel sorry for him and think Jake and Colt are dicks for poking fun at him. Sometimes I watch it and think, Im being worked here, he's totally in on the joke. Then I cant decide if he's either the greatest actor or the worst wrestler. Cant believe Vader Junior has been released. Wonder if Big Poppa Vader will get a Tweet to attend Raw next week! They also released that weird looking Irish guy after like 1 month! I've worked with Freight Train before, and I always got the impression that he knew what was going on. He's just so happy to be there, it doesn't really matter to him. He loves wrestling, he's having a blast, and I never once got the feeling he thought he was being taken advantage of. Jake loves the guy, FWIW. He's with him at all times, and makes sure he's taken care of in the ring. This is completely accurate. I've worked with him on 3 shows, and all three were were being involved in actual matches with him. The first was me managing a tag team against him and Jake, the second was him teaming with my tag team, and for the third, i was actually in a battle royal that he won and I was eliminated by him. If you're working a match with him, you basically only have to go through the match once or twice with him and he's got it. Hell, in that first match there was a spot where I was supposed to hook his leg and interfere and before we went out he made sure to remind me of it. I mean, yes, the guy IS legitimately challenged, but he is well aware of what's going on. And yes, Jake really takes care of him in and out of the ring. When planning the match he will often run through a spot and ask him "Is that OK?" When he eliminated me from the battle royal, the guy who booked the show/match was kind of helping him out in there, and told him it was time to throw me out. He came to me, I told him which direction we were going, he grabbed the back of my head, and I launched myself out. Every elimination he did was way over. Most importantly, everyone loves the guy. The $5 wrestling guys he would show up with, the fans, and everyone who meets him. Upon first meeting him, you instantly like him, and I know all of us guys who worked those shows with him immediately became protective as well. I don't think anyone who has worked with him would ever tolerate or put up with anyone exploiting him. Here's me and some of my guys with Train after one of those shows......

I refuse to believe that Stafford didn't take advantage of many a passed out co-ed in college. He has Big Ben doughy rape face.

You mean the guy they chanted for to save the supposed "Star"?You mean the 10 second chant by a few hundred neck beards?You really aren't good at this gimmick, man.

You mean the guy they chanted for to save the supposed "Star"?

WWE Championship looks good on Daniel Bryan. I really like the WWE Championship more than I did.

WRECKING KRUE LAD And Fuck the fucking Vikings.

Big Show is Sansa?

So Stephen Fry then?

I wish there were a "make it good", but otherwise, very satisfactory.

Ain't gonna catch the hijos del midnight rider...

Poor Kofi...he even jobs during his own run-in.

Man, that's a questionable quote to attribute to your mom. Just sayin'.

FUCK YOU SOCIAL MEDIA. So the new Miss America is of Indian descent. Big deal. The tweets that I read just make me sad. "Post-racial America" my nuts...

Raven also had the capability of winning titles more prestigious than the Hardcore title, which AJ doesn't have. Really, fuck Meltzer and anyone else giving AJ a hard time for loving the business enough to actually care that she won the most prestigious belt she is eligible to win. You people deserve Kelly Kelly or whichever fitness model on your television screen week in and week out. Also, every single person that posts on this board is a mark, including myself and every worker. I thought as a board we were past the serious use of that word, but apparently not. You're posting on the internet about pro wrestling. You're a mark. Let's move on.

Bill Murray and Gene Wilder kneepads... I'm speechless
