C'mon, think about this. "Creating awareness?" Who the fuck is UNAWARE of the existence of cancer? "Oh man, Earl. My wife's got breast cancer?" "What's that?" said no one ever in this century. You want to do something for breast cancer? Generate funds for research. Educate women on the importance of regular screenings. Provide said screenings to those who can't afford them. Offer financial support to low income women suffering from breast cancer who can't hold down a job anymore but have to wait months for disability to be approved. What does SGK spend its money on? Fat executive salaries and trademark lawsuits against real charities. I won't even bother to get into the political swing that organization has taken on over the past few years.SGK is a parasitic marketing scheme masquerading as charity, and the world would be better off if the entire organization vanished from the face it, and I'm saying this as someone who lost two members of my family to breast cancer, including my mother. SGK isn't selling companies like WWE on charity. It's selling them on the PR benefits of putting wrestlers in pink shirts. If WWE gave just a fraction of the money they'll kick back to the pink-clad scum to REAL charities instead, I'd say as much as I did about Make-a-Wish: nothing.

I love how week in week out the apparently go to Paul Heyman just before the show and say: "Hey, Paul...look, we need you to do thirty minutes. What? No, no match...just walk out there and do something for a half hour or so. I don't know, take Ryback or someone with you." And every time he comes up with something funny and entertaining. Given literally nothing of an angle and nothing to work with, he just creates fun.

How much fucking swagger does Dustin have coming out in a suit with the Golddust makeup? He reminded me of lucha guys who walk around in suits with their masks still on.

Mini bull of the woods, if you will

So Trish's kid is apparently called Maximus Stratigias Fisico, which I'm pretty sure means he's going to grow up to be a Bond villain.

Tasers, Ladders, and Chairs? Tasers, Ladders, and CLAIRE

Rosa looked good in her bull costume.

IT'S OCTOBER BITCHES!

You need to watch Tombstone ASAP

Fuck Lydia.

No. (pulls out a postmodern chair and takes a seat) Brie can't turn on Bryan in the WWE Universe because they are a real couple on a fake reality show together. Brie being out to check on Bryan furthers the Total Divas storyline of Brie and Bryan being together in real life, while also allowing WWE to wink at the audience who either knows they are a real couple and/or watches Total Divas. Bryan proposed to Brie while Total Divas cameras were rolling, so their storyline on the upcoming fake reality show's season is going to involve them being together. Randy Orton attacking Daniel Bryan on RAW allows Brie Bella to cry on WWE cameras, and then cry on Total Divas cameras. My viewing habits more closely resemble that of a female viewer's (reality shows, etc), so I for one am very excited by this development, and am still pissed that Stephanie turned on Kurt.

That's a Styracosaurus for fuck's sake man.

Renee: "Can't help but notice Ryback behind that camera there and Curtis Axel hiding behind some equipment."And she is instantly the smartest person on the roster...

Even HHH's poster can't help but bury people.

If Triceratops had the capacity to fill out the paperwork properly, they'd have a non-profit too.

EDIT Hopefully not too huge

Dude. Why you gotta expose the business like that?

Do we have any evidence that they are supposed to be actual bullfighters and not, like say The Mountie was clearly a deranged fool who thought he was a mountie...but really wasn't? Because, the bull is clearly not a bull. So the Matadors...probably not really matadors. Also John Nord was not an actual Viking and was not probably to be held responsible for the hideous crimes of raping and burning villages. Also Tugboat...not a tugboat. A maniac who pretended his arm was a tugboat whistle. Like, Miz is supposed to be an actual Hollywood wannabe douche. And Repo Man, I think, was supposed to be an actual repo man. But, say, Fandango is clearly not a real ballroom dancer, and his presence is not a direction to forgive the evils of ballroom dancing. He is clearly an insane fool who thinks he's a ballroom dancer.

I'm watching Raw right now and haven't read anything here yet because I don't wanna get the show spoiled, but I had to say this: Dusty stepping in Triple H's face was such a fucking awesome moment that Steph had to ruin by slapping Dusty's hand because God forbid she look weak. That was SOOOO close to a "money moment" from Dusty and she really fucked it up.

Not within a week. First week, the Stud Stable return to the national scene. Second week, Buck wins the vacant TV Title in a Gauntlet Battle Royal beating Eric Young when the ref is distracted by ODB/Park scuffling with Meng/Colonel on the floor and Bunkhouse brains EY with a cowbell. Third week, Roode beats Buck for the TV Title when the ref is distracted by Meng killing Bad Influence outside the ring and EY runs in and knocks Buck out with the cowbell. Roode wants the TV Title due to the title's new gimmick being that for every week the holder successfully retains he earns a weekly bonus of $20 grand thus allowing the champion to potentially earn a $1 million bonus if they retain for a year. Roode/EGO continues feud with Aries now revolving around the TV Title. Fourth week, Colonel issues a challenge for Young to meet Buck in a cowbell on a pole match at the next PPV. Next couple of weeks show vignettes of Park training Young to climb poles and ODB showing him how she works a pole. At the PPV, EY easily gets the cowbell due to his pole training but after he whacks Buck with the cowbell and goes for the pin, Meng rams Park into the pole busting him open and causing him to lose control which distracts EY long enough to give Buck the opportunity to recover and knock Young out with the cowbell and pick up the victory. Next Impact, EY and Park say that TNA isn't big enough for all of them and issue a loser leaves town challenge to the Stud Stable. A no holds barred 'Bunkhouse Brawl' is set for the next big event. Stud Stable win. See EY and Park sadly walking out of arena. Next Impact, Borash asks ODB about EY but she hasn't seen or heard from him. Next week, cameras catch EY and Park living on the streets. When ODB is asked about it she doesn't know why EY doesn't move into the trailer with her since they are married and doesn't know why Park is on the streets since he's a rich lawyer. The next week, Borash catches up with EY and Park and we learn that EY is adapting well and has declared himself "Hobo King" and has amassed a small group of followers on the streets but Park isn't doing so well and he cracks and takes off running into the darkness. A couple of weeks later, the Stud Stable are celebrating another victory when a gang of hobos run in from the crowd. Stud Stable disposes of them easily until more hobos attack led by the Hobo King Eric Young along with his Hobo Wench Claire Lynch and followed by The Hobo Monster Abyss... Now at least four months later, #HOBOARMY. The Stud Stable/Hobo Army war continues through at least the holidays and will involve a turkey suit match and Hobo Claus. Gonna be a while before Bunkhouse For Glory and the World Title.

That little bull is going to bring the Matadores to the top of the merchandising pile once he starts laying in the head scissors on Antonio Cesaro.

STAY OFF MY MYSPACE!!!!!!!

Holy Shit. I didn't realize he went the Full Sid Haig!! Unprecedented...well, it happened once...to Sid Haig...and even he only went full once.

They were promoting the YouTube channel. They did the same thing with Kofi... They couldn't have promoted it without having the video window at the smallest setting? Maybe they tried full screen but it was too choppy

Is it bad that I legitimately thought CM Punk was so clumsy that he actually botched jumping over the guardrail?

NXT RETRO WORKRATE REPORT – January 2, 2013 (by PHIL RIPPA) Because I have soooo much free time, I decided to start working through the NXT Shows on Hulu. For someone who has longed for the days of Saturday Night or Worldwide for that matter, this is the closest I am going to get. Of course, doing them retroactively will mean that I have to space out my jokes. Do I mock Tony Dawson now or what a little bit? Decisions. Decisions. Anyway, I decided to start with the beginning of 2013 because I wasn’t going back to the beginning of this show. I ain’t THAT crazy. I did watch the 2012 recap show just to make sure I knew what was going on… which apparently was “Fuck – the WWE called up all these guys and now we have to figure out how to explain it storyline wise.” Oh and I so didn’t proof read this. WHAT WORKED The show opens with the Shield jumping whoever the fuck it was in the ring and then Dusty Rhodes and the Shield cut promos and I am all giddy. Of course that is because of current RAW angles… if I had watched this nine months ago, who knows? I will say Reigns one line of dialogue combined with his chuckle was great. William Regal – Color Commentator. This will just have a permanent spot ever week. The lady in the front row who was all over the heels. Primo was great playing off her. The should make sure she is there every week just so heels could learn how to interact with the crowd. Tyson Kidd/Justin Gabriel vs. Leo Kruger/Kassius Ohno was fun. I wanna call Ohno Chris Hero since it is WAY easier to spell but God forbid the IWC yells at me being all high and mighty by using a guys other name. Damn me and my three digit IQ. For the little I have seen of NXT, I seem to have seen Kruger a bunch. That isn’t a complaint since his Nise Skinner gimmick is good to watch. Gabriel has tiny pants and Kidd has stupid hair and they really a little too much on the overly choreographed moves but you will enjoy them in a 2013 White Lightning kinda way. This gets a bunch of time and has a clean ending and you can’t complain about that. Hey! Jim Ross showed up to call the main event. I like the idea of Ross calling the young guys and I can understand the idea that he just does “special” matches to give them a different feeling. A permanent Ross/Regal team The main event sucked mainly because we all knew the Shield run in was coming but the aftermath was great as Reigns just casually stands on Graves neck which gets this seven billion Worldwide points. Then Dusty sends the entire locker room out and the Shield takes them all on while a faceless dude takes a crazy bump and then Big E Langston comes out and the crowd is all happy. I mean let’s not delve too much into what could be argued the flaws of the booking but it means I am getting Rollins/Langston next week. WHAT DIDN’T WORK Poor poor random guys who the Shield jumped. They never ever got names. I mean even in recapping the events, Dawson just called them the “competitors”. Enhancement talent on the development show, that’s a new one. God Bo Dallas is not a good look man. Nor is he very good at the wrestling. Epico tried but this really didn’t have a shot. Oh look – there is Curtis Axel… oh wait, he is still Michael McGillicutty at this point… to help fend off the Colons. So I guess I am getting a tag match next week. If Teddy Long was here, it would have been tonight’s main event. I am point Sasha Banks vs. Tamina here because it lasted maybe two minutes. All I got out of it is it was Banks second match on NXT and Dawson doesn’t know the difference between “amplitude” and “altitude”. I want to punch Corey Graves in the face. Hmm… maybe that means he is doing his job and this should could in the other half of the column. Oh wait – he is from Pittsburgh too. This stays here.

For whatever reason, I'm now envisioning PN News doing a rap using the word "Javic," because nothing rhymes with havoc.

Hell, just go ahead and stop what you're doing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0beTJBQI4g

The scene that opened the episode with Walt getting in the snow covered car was also great. Police sirens blaring, lights flashing, but Walt can't see outside. Just trapped in a world he made, cut off from the world. Deep shit man.

Spin the wheel... Make the deal.

The Aryans were still using the last of the methylamine from the train robbery, but they were planning to get more barrels from Lydia, as Uncle Jack told Walt before the MacGyver gun took care of business. Walt knew Lydia was still involved because Charlie Rose said the blue was still getting to the Czech Republic, and that was all her doing. I love how, in the Breaking Bad universe, Charlie Rose is indirectly to blame for Lydia's death.

I'd rather do a Triceratops vs. Styracosaurus poll.

Not if he can't get it up... He can be a power bottom.

Not if he can't get it up... Hey, a mouth's a mouth.

Big Show's gone from being bankrupt...to being close to death because he's part of the giant species...to now being impotent. He's this close to having Steph reveal he's turning tricks on the street corner for spare change.

Would they also be wearing silly ties and occasionally look into a camera and say "eh, it's a living"? http://youtu.be/hOnjDMLAK-A?t=2m46s

Can't believe NO ONE has mentioned Steph jivin' to "Common Man". Definite laugh-out-loud moment for me.

I do like him as the Marylin Munster of the Rhode's brood. What I think I like the most is that, for Dustin, "Dress Golddust" includes the makeup but not the wig...because that would be ridiculous. Like is someone said, "Hey Dust..no wig?" He'd be like "Who the fuck is this idiot? OF COURSE NO WIG...this is a FORMAL NEGOTIATION!!!!"

Will you people be quiet and reflect on the sheer pro wrestling majesty of Dustin in full Goldust make-up whilst wearing a suit? Cody as "pissed off Rhodes family member" is easily the most enjoyable he has ever, and will ever be.

The only negative side to that is the show at its absolute most was watched by 6 million people, so roughly about 3-4 million people just ruined the entire experience of Breaking Bad for themselves because they just had to see how a show they had never watched before ended. Well, live, that's true. Doesn't take VOD, etc into account. Wonder how many people bought episodes on iTunes, Amazon, etc over the previous two months, caught up on DVR, or watched ondemand I watched the whole series in about ten days. I'm sort of glad I did too. All of the commercials and hash tag crap, during the last episode, sort of took me out of the story a little bit. I always love the summer (or, I used to before networks started running staggering shows year-round) because the majority of shows would go off the air at the same time. Following shows at a scheduled time each week feels like homework - even with DVR. I'm starting to break the habit the more I travel for work, and especially now that the wife and I are in a housing limbo with no DVR or good cable to speak of. For the last year or so I've just saved up entire seasons to watch, and knocked them out whenever I have pockets of free time. The binge-watching phenomenon, in general, is amazing. Whenever there are 'off' weeks of a show I only have to wait as long as it takes me to watch the next episode to forget about it. 'Mad Men' is one of my favorite shows and knocking out half the season in one sitting makes me love it even more. It also hooks me on shows more than if I were to follow them in their normal format. I probably wouldn't have stuck with 'Veep' if I had to watch it 25 minutes at a time each week, but I had the entire first season recorded for a while before I finally started it. I knocked that show out immediately once I got going. I still remember knocking out the first four seasons of '24' in less than two weeks before the fifth season premiered. This was back in 2006, and I did it with Netflix DISCS and rushing to Blockbuster when I couldn't wait for the next disc to arrive. That feels like the Stone Age compared to now. I wish I had known then that someday it would have been possible to watch every show like that.

Would they also be wearing silly ties and occasionally look into a camera and say "eh, it's a living"?

Those pink shirts look like someone tossed their lucky red hat in the laundry.

Orton's such a bad guy he's even pro-breast cancer.

He isn't bigger. Both of them hit the apex of wrestling stardom. They both won Meltzer's poll on who is the bigger star over the Rock.

I, for one, am eagerly awaiting FSW's outrage at HHH smarky insider digs at Dusty about Florida, NWA, and old gimmicks no one remembers. Because, he HAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTEEEEEEESSSSSSS that stuff, right?

I want a time machine invented so The Shield can do six-mans in JCP in the 1980s for all eternity.

When will people learn that a camera and some editing software don't make you a fucking documentary filmmaker? That's a terrible idea for a documentary. Who gives a shit? All sorts of people oppressed in this world and some dude is worried about how wrestling fans are perceived? Fucking ridiculous.
