WHAT THE FUCK

I find the idea that you have to have good matches with bad wrestlers to be good stupid.

Goldberg was and will always be awesome: Goldberg: WCW World Heavyweight Champion *Click Here to Enlarge* Speaking of Goldberg, I got him and Stone Cold Steve Austin to start talking shit to each other today by tweeting out an old cover of Cracked magazine: "WWF vs WCW" - Cracked Magazine #334 [May 1999] *Click Here to Enlarge* Their response? If you told teenage me that I could use the computer fifteen years down the line to talk to my favorite wrestlers, I'd think you were nuts.

No.

I'm putting this here since it involves Cardinals Legend (vomit) David Eckstein. From Parks & Rec tonight...

Dean did missile dropkicks, didn't he?

Reminded me of this: ,,,and that is a high compliment. - S&D, RAF

Oh, Vic, you are delightfully evil. I figure the poor sap has already ruined his life by getting married...

Flash was a great comic for something like ten years straight. I like Wally more than most people but I'm more of a Dick Grayson fan. I kind of miss DC sometimes.

Fuck no.

TNA brings in Amy Dumas, sets her up as Wiseau's new girlfriend only to have her cheat on him with his best friend, Mark Mero. Tommy finds out and cries "You're tearing me apart, Lita!"

How many times have you wished you could make a bowl out of bacon? Well, now you can, http://youtu.be/AsrodwSpzYg

I think Shane wrestling might be why I stopped watching for a while.

I think you should bust that wedding up like slash in the "november rain" video. Kick the doors open and shit. "The Mad Dog is in the building, motherfuckers!"

That's more accurate about Benoit than it is Malenko.

If anything, I think Dean Malenko is underrated. He's never mentioned a lot in "Best of..." or "Favorite..." discussions. He should be, though!

Well any wrestler worth anything has a missile dropkick in the bag. That's a given.

dDean was my man from when he came up to his WCW days. I think he's super underrated when it comes to introducing cruiser wrestling to the US. This is because he wrestled like Tully Blanchard or those dudes but against the aerialists. The only aerial move he did was the nasty stomach buster from the top rope, and that doesn't really count. He wrestled a style people who grew up on wrestling -- especially southern wrestling -- were used to seeing. I think a lot of that stuff would have been cast as a total novelty act if it wasn't for him making it look like aerial moves could beat a really high-end technical master. I don't think we have Eddie Guerrero: WWE Champion if it wasn't for his stuff with Dean. Also, I know it's a mark mag, but Dean was PWI's #1 in their Top 500 ranking at one point. Think about that -- the ultimate mark mag listing that dude as the best wrestler in the world. He was over.Also, how many bad wrestlers did Deano actually face? WCW was absolutely loaded with dudes during his run. He was at the end of his career in his WWE heyday but even then he was in a lot of good matches. He had a LOT of time in that awesome Raw 10 man and the match against Scotty Taylor was so friggin' great, too. I know everyone hates on what the Eddie/Dean in ECW stuff spawned but at the time it was mindblowing and everyone who was in some form of the IWC called those matches the new Steamboat/Flair. They might not last the test of time but in an era of when we were suffering through Isaac Yankem or Hulk Hogan's crapfest in WCW, those matches were amazing and really changed the game. Dean ruled.

Not that I want this to take a violent turn, but this is a once in a lifetime shot for some nature photographer:

Contentious statement aside, I refuse to sit idly by while people have good things to say about Bill DeMott.

You know that's right.

I can't imagine ANYONE convincing themselves that they can be the girl that changes the terrible boyfriend that is TNA at this point, or feeling like it's worth the effort to try.

Well here are some players who have their numbers retired... Rolando Blackman Michael Jordan...in Miami Buck Williams...he may have told them to retire his number, and you don't say no to Buck Williams Dan Majerle Tom Chambers Vlade Divac Jeff Hornacek Mark Eaton Larry Nance Don't get me wrong, he is being an idiot, but are trying to tell me that Dwight wasn't better in Orlando than anyone on that list. And Eaton is the best center in the history of the Jazz and in the top three all time in blocks too. . .

This is even better. He gives dude a backbreaker!

i think this nails it right on the head. Without Deano bridging the gap, WCW's burgeoning cruiserweight division would've been DOA. Perhaps this is why WWE was never successful with their own division. you had "real wrestling" and then you had "flippy wrestling". Dean wrested the "real" style in the "flippy" world, which made it work. I always thought the big problem with the WWE's cruiser division was that, much like their women's division and at various times the tag division, nobody existed within the division except a champion and a top contender. Taka vs. Brian Christopher....then the next month BC stops being on tv and it's Taka vs. Scott Taylor...then the next month Scott Taylor joins Christopher in the "where are they now" file and someone else shows up to fight Taka. The division failed because there was no division. In WCW you had a whole group of guys fighting and having matches away from the belt. It made it seem like the belt was something worth fighting for and not just a merry-go-round of random challengers.

I think it says alot that Dean was easily the most over cruiser on the roster. People forget that Rey went through a period of people not giving a shit about him for a while. Dean always got huge pops, and was able to translate that into a run against a few heavyweights like Jarrett.

I demand Dolfan change his name to Dandy Fish Fan.

I like him as much as the next guy but Brooklyn Brawler was definitely the weak link of the Heenan Family. I'm going to go with either Al Greene or Chic Donovan for the weak link of the First Family. God damn Erick Rowan.

And that adds an extra dimension to the awesomeness of Glengarry Glen Ross. The NAME in the movie and real life gets all the credit despite literally doing the least amount of work. The real actor both in the film and real life only gets it after the fact. And to add to a previous post, Glengarry Glen Ross is also one of the greatest movies ever made. You want to see how the work force is and may someday be for more of us, that is it.

I heard Marvel intends to let Neil Gaiman finish Miracle/Marvel Man. I think I would like the final panel have the Fury appear on that Earth.

Oh, good lordThis southern shaming is disgraceful. Disgraceful, I say disgraceful, suh! Pistols at dawn!

just started reading New Teen Titans again. i'm up to 1980-81 on my Batman project, so it felt like a good time to give this a go. MY GOD. so much collectively happens in the first 10 issues or so it is amazing. All the characters (even the new ones) are amazingly fleshed out. You can tell their emotions, motivations, personalities, everything. There's been more character development in these 10 issues than the last 10 years (1970-1980) of Batman comics, and this has been the best decade for that in the Bat universe. amazing. edited to add: this also makes me miss Donna Troy more than ever. Flash/Wally not so much, but he hasn't had too much of a presence yet in NTT. i'm sure that will change before too long.

R. Lee Ermey for Full Metal Jacket.

Harlem Heat theme wasn't even a WCW creation, it was part of one of those licensed music packages that TV stations buy. It was always really distracting hearing it pop up in random places, like hotel menu screens or a Kids in the Hall sketch.

All I can say is . . I CAN'T WAIT until the Shield comp.

It's funny because the NXT arena looks much better than that IRL. It's all out of proportion there, looks pretty bad. ETA: I was going to joke that it would be funny if you could customize the NXT area to be the old TNA arena, but then I started noticing all the similarities between the two and wondered if the entire thing was one long rib by WWE.

God, I am in love with you right now. I hate that movie too. The message to me seems to be "Be dumb. Be simple. Dumb = Honest. Everything will just happen! You don't need to understand or know anything about who or what is running your world! Book learning is for witches." It's like if the Aliens from THEY LIVE! got together with the Tea Party leadership to write a movie...complete with SUPER EVIL HIPPIES!!!!! that look like something out of an anti-reefer film real made by the Missouri State Highway Patrol in 1975 and still being shown to teenagers in traffic school in 1988 (let's just say I know this somehow).

Son of a..... Using a tinyurl to get me to click on a PWInsider Link?! FOREVER UNCLEAN.

THIS. For anyone thinking about buying TNA they have to decide if the name, history and contracts, those that would transfer since I'm guessing if Sting's deal is being partly paid by Spike than it might not be part of any deal and who knows about Hogan's deal or any of the other bigger names, are worth what you're going to pay or if you are that interested in having a wrestling company would it be better to start from scratch now or buy a smaller fed and build it up or wait until TNA folds and buy up some of their talent. I think that TNA has so much stink on it that you would have to do a lot of work to make it a company that has a chance at growing.

I would love a Greatest Rivalries: Austin vs. The Hart Foundation. Especially if it included all of Austin's matches against Bret, Owen, the tag with HBK against Bulldog/Owen, and the Canadian Stampede. That would easily be my desert island wrestling disc having my favorite angle, feud, matches, and wrestler. It was nice to get a Randy Savage collection but no documentary was a bummer. I'd also like to get more familiar with the work and stories of Harley Race, Nick Bockwinkel, and Andre.

I swear to god, if I ever hit the lottery, I'm buying a wrestling promotion and hiring Ben as head booker.

If you don't preorder, it replaces Warrior with The Renegade.

Prison Break probably should have ended with the first run, when they broke out of prison, but those last few episodes just seemed like some fudge to extend it anyway. It definitely should've ended after the second season, which was only worthwhile because they realised T-Bag was the best character. Season 3 was terrible, I'll probably never watch season 4.
