1. Mr. Cabana does a lackluster job and is fired by the second game, construct a table displaying how long he will continue to complain about how the team misused him. 2. Formula: F(x) = _______?

Seriously. This is also a show that allowed three guys to kill off an entire Mexican drug cartel and still easily get out of Mexico... This is a show that had a guy get half his face blown off and walk out of the room and adjust his tie before he died... It wasn't exactly 100% grounded in reality. It was an amazing show (possibly the best ever) but you have to give a little dramatic license.

Your Jaeger name: GIANT BABA

Angel was awesome.

I look at that and this is literally all I can see:

Yeah, gonna have to disagree with you on that one...

They need to bring Leo Kruger up to the main roster to hunt the awesome bull mascot.

(too lazy to construct a table) Two of the "minor league baseball teams" will not pay Mr. Cabana. Two more teams will short him and pay him less than the agreed-upon amount, One will pay him, but the check will not clear. Mr. Cabana will decide not to work one event and will therefore not be paid for event. He will not call them beforehand to notify them that he will be absent. The correct answer is $56.

Of course these guys were all over the Browns nuts. Jim Fucking Brown was in the house. He would have come down and beat the shit out of all of them if they said a bad word about the Browns. He almost scared the lisp right out of Mike Mayock.

If you were a kid when Kindergarten Cop came out, and neither "boys have a penis, girls have a vagina" or "it's not a tumah!" did not become catchphrases for you, your childhood sucked.

Kevin Smith's podcast used to be sponsored by Fleshlight. So.... It could be worse.

Haha... did the exact same thing to a similar shot with Cena and The Rock, years ago. I mean, it's hard to NOT see that...

From WWE.com, this made me wish they ran that as a six man tag on the go home show

Loving Renee's 2Pac shirt

I am so happy to see this match, in large part due to this show being Glacier's debut and that also being the same day I got my cat Gracie. Despite being super-old now, she's still kicking.

I completely forgot he debuted against The Gambler, one of my favorite jobbers ever. I loved that gimmick.

Damn Cthulhu took the referee out! (added bonus: Kevin Nash taking the only bump he can still take.)

NXT RETRO WORKRATE REPORT – January 16, 2013 (by PHIL RIPPA) Well the cable is out but the Internet is still working, so I will crank out one of these instead of live tweeting Impact. This might be one of the better decisions of my adult life. WHAT WORKED Cool – the show opens with a recap of the Big E Langston title win and it is getting the WWE video package treatment. This is all sorts of neat. I especially liked them putting impact tremors on the screen for Big E hitting his finisher. Also – no one else might but I really dig the NXT Title belt. Seriously? How did TNA not already do the giant fucking X as a belt for the X Division Championship? Outside of the obvious “It’s TNA” answer? William Regal – Color Commentator Wait. Wait. Wait. Kassius Ohno is sitting in on Color. Are we teasing the Ohno/Regal feud??? Did Regal just threaten to turn Ohno into a vegetable? Pants on the ground! Pants on the ground! Acting like a fool with your pants on the ground!!! I’m gonna ignore the irony of having to take the belt off of Seth Rollins because he got promoted to the main roster and putting it on a guy who was about to get called up to the main roster. I’m gonna ignore it because it means I get things like Big E Langston mic time. And we also get Langston destroying Camacho. FIVE! FIVE! FIVE! There was enough stuff that was enjoyable in the Antonio Cesaro/Damien Sandow vs. Tyson Kidd/Justin Gabriel match to be here. At least the actual match stuff. I have other issues down below. (In the column, not on my body. At least not that I know of. I am going to move along now.) I will give Sandow a lot of credit for really working with the crowd and making it a good time for all instead of just mailing it in just because they are in front of the random back lot crowd. Him yelling “WE HAVE RULES!” got a legit chuckle out of me. I also am humored that he ate the pinfall. So clearly not only is NXT for developing the WWE’s future roster but it’s also where guys can get an early start on their “push”. Poor poor Money in the Bank winner. WHAT DIDN’T WORK As teased last week – Adrian Neville (who I will most assuredly call Aaron Neville at some point) makes his NXT debut. And he is wrestling Sakamoto who is making his return to NXT after the whole Tensai second fiasco (but I don’t think we are supposed to know that). Since this a WWE development match that means CHIN LOCKS FOR THE SAKE OF CHIN LOCKS!!! RANDY ORTON DOES IT!!! And then the former Pac hits the Corkscrew Shooting Star Press and that’s it. The match is rather disappointing but Regal talking British wrestling almost – ALMOST – dragged this to the Northern side of the column. Trent Baretta vs. Leo Krueger had the misfortunate of being the backdrop for the Ohno/Regal stuff so it really was just there. And since it had a commercial break smashed into middle of it and it really just keeps going on. Maybe another time. Someone should probably get in Tony Dawson’s ear and tell him that just because Vince yelled “WHATAMANUEVER!” doesn’t mean you should. This isn’t a NXT thing per se but during this viewing Hulu decided to keep showing the Chase commercial where the guy is some sort of superfan geek and dreams of going to a Comic Con type convention. But when he goes the dude doesn’t cosplay and that makes the entire commercial totally unbelievable for me. Stupid Chase. I’m not really sure why Sandow/Cesaro are teaming and why they are teaming on NXT but here we are. I mean one would think they would promote it more. Or at least take advantage of having the actual US Champ wrestling in your building to help elevate one of the younger guys. But nope. I am realizing though that this just might be one of those wacky NXT things that I am just going to have to get over.

You just missed me, I'm off to bed. AxBloodTheory, if any of you were wondering. AKA the only person who took the Hart Family colours thing seriously - although last time Pegasus saw me, I was trying the 'Bikini + leather jacket + knee-high boots' look.Yes, my avatar is female. Bicycle races are a lot of fun (and a good way to push your stamina*).* Pisses me off that it still says "Out of Shape" next to my name.

346 people on Linkedin would disagree with you! http://www.linkedin.com/vsearch/p?orig=SEO_SN&firstName=Jack&lastName=Ryan&trk=SEO_SN

The problem with IM2 is all the fucking talking and bullshitting that goes on for the whole movie that by the time it ends, you wonder if you actually saw any kind of progress.

Christian Bale playing the role of coked up Marty Scorsese "You see the woman in the window? Do you see the woman in the window? I want you to see that woman, because that's my wife. But that's not my apartment."

Want.

Monta Basketball...IT'S FAAAAAAAANTASTIC!

I thought we weren't supposed to discuss politics on the DVDVR? Wasn't that a thing?

A broken, beaten man at the end of his rope turning to a higher power? I didn't really see it as anything out of the ordinary, since pretty much every person who has ever lived (no matter their religious beliefs) has thrown a "hey, help me out with this" to God/the heavens/the universe/karma or whatever in a time of need.

In a way, That 70's Show has somewhat ruined Robocop for me, as I just keep waiting for Clarence to threaten to put his foot in Robocop's metal ass. Or, alternately, to walk into a scene with Jackie and Donna and Kitty and say "bitches, leave."

Mea culpa. Of course, I once tried to break down the *ahem* continuity *ahem* of the Friday the 13th movies, so...

I have a confession: I don't see what the deal is with Chris Hero/Kassius Ohno. He's not impressive ringwork wise, and I don't see anything in his personality that says "dollar signs." Someone help me...

Gordi should be his next partner.

http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-triangle/post/_/id/76518/the-nba-media-day-power-rankings The whole thing is full of Gold. . .

Katherine Isabelle is great. Shame she'll probably never get beyond "B movie queen." I thought American Mary had a good first half, but just fell apart at the end.

Man, I want Bob Armstrong to drag Scott into the ring by his ear and make him tell the WWE Universe the truth about the fast count. Then I want him to punch Brad Maddox in the head and put on a clip-on tie and an airbrushed baseball cap that says "General Manager" on it.

Jesse: stay out of it bull killer. Slater: make me slave trader. Audience: Wooooooooo

That 70's Show absolutely should have ended with Kelso moving away and Eric going to Africa.

Married... With Children is the one that immediately comes to mind.

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.

Oooh... that gives me an excuse to post this (since we are on the ref theme) I miss Mark Curtis

The booking meetings would always include FSW petitioning for Punk to be relegated to jobber duty while everyone else reminds him that Punk doesn't work for TNA.

I could've sworn D-Von was using his awesome Eyes of Rightessnous theme song. They have got to recycle that for someone at some point. The screencap preview of the "Eyes of Righteousness" make it look like D-Von is the dude who leaves those things in the restroom of Starbucks that look like $50 and $100 bills, only when you pick them up and unfold them, they're these religious tractlets that start off with, "Disappointed? Don't be, because you're far richer in the kingdom of Heaven than" blah blah still not $50-100 in my pocket blah. I used to bus tables at a restaurant when I was in high school and I remember a table of 15 Mormons came in. They were polite but racked up a gigantic bill and ran me and the waitress around for like an hour getting drinks, nacho refills, etc. The whole time we were thinking, "well, at least the tip will be worth it." After they left, we were cleaning the table and we saw what looked like a folded piece of paper with two $100 bills in it, along with a credit card and on the note it said, "Here's a tip..." The waitress unfolded it and it was one of those tracts with fake bills and the tract said, "Here's a tip...how to get to heaven, read the Book of Mormon blah blah blah". The actual tip they left was like $10 on a $150 or so bill. I remember the waitress just started bawling in the middle of the restaurant (thankfully it was close to closing time) and the manager felt so bad he gave her $40 or whatever out of his own pocket and let her go home. I didn't get any extra money or get to go home but the bartender at least let me drink in the bar for an hour or so after I finished bussing tables. Cool story bro.

So, you are blaming Brutus Beefcake for the decimation of the tag team division, correct? If it wasn't for him, there wouldn't have been a window.
