No Holes Barred was a completely different movie

Morelock doesn't want any Chris Benoit jokes and he's really mad Morelock doesn't like joking about murderers and he's reaaaally angryyyyyy

Mike - it wasn't funny then and it's not funny now

That match between Flair and Barry that went an hour on TV in 87 that was featured on the first Ric Flair DVD is one of my favorite matches ever.

See here now. I am prepared to tolerate a good number of things from you people, but disrespecting Barry Windham IS NOT ONE OF THEM!

THIS is pro wrestling, people. THIS.

Austin and Rock still get way the hell over and carry the business just like they did? Yeah I don't think DX carried the Attitude Era as much as current WWE video packages want us to think they did.

So you're saying he should be more incognito about all of this?

He's right and it's fucking AWESOME http://youtu.be/l38GjpeShrg?t=55m49s Skip ahead about 55:00

Brilliant that the kid has the better looking belt.

He mentioned a couple other wrestlers who did the same (Michaels), but didn't mention Victoria/Tara. Didn't Stone Cold tell Victoria she could wrestle with just the knee brace so she wouldn't have to get the ACL surgery? It is so Kurt Angle to wrestle with no ACL. That "what, I tear my quad all the time...I did it yesterday" line is becoming painfully true.

so he can no-sell knee-attack moves now? "ha ha, I don't have an ACL, your Figure-Four doesn't effect me!"

'86 through '89 (and a good chunk of '92 and '93) is 10 minutes?

Would like Taker to have come out at the end of a PPV and confront the NWO, ala Sting with the buzzard.......but start hitting golf balls at them in his polo shirt, sandals and golf shorts...

That's just so laughably stupid. Justice is giving Jeter waaaaaaay too much credit for being uncontroversial. He's also ignoring how Jeter undermined ARod from day one in NYC and refused to change positions, even though doing so would have improved the team. And, let's be real - on the field, Jeter couldn't carry the jocks of Ruth, Mantle, Gehrig, and JoeD. Great player and all that, but let's not get crazy here.

Best Wrestling Observer Radio tidbit of the moment: RVD showed up at RAW to see if they wanted him for WrestleMania and went home before the show started. From how they described it, I can only assume that it went down like this...

Or her neck was, you know, fucked.

The one where instead of Luger finally beating Flair, who had jumped ship to WWF at this time, fans get subjected to probably one of the top three worst shows of all time? Barry Windham, perenial midcarder is suddenly #1 contender? Luger randomly turns heel with Harley Race? Where the crowd chants WE WANT FLAIR the entire show? Yeah, that is odd it is on TWO sets now.

If HBK leaves, Bret stays, and works 4 star matches with Austin and Rock until the cows come home.

Austin and Rock still get way the hell over and carry the business just like they did?

I think they want you to go and bring back as many users as possible.

Points to Aiden English for referencing "Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog" in his intro. And also apropos of nothing, Big Cass probably needs to switch his ring gear from something akin to what Kevin Nash wore, if just to make him look bigger

Nope

Please discuss what is actually going on Jericho's podcast or please move on

Some of us are talking. You're just gleefully splashing around in puddles like a little boy playing in the rain because you found a thread where you aren't the least respected poster.

MAYBE Derrick Coleman? Benoit Benjamin was the all-time champion of giving no fucks unless it was the last month of a contract year. Most notably, he would sometimes "accidentally" bring two left sneakers to practice so that he wouldn't have to participate.

The Pelicans have announced that their mascot broke his beak, and is undergoing surgery to fix it. Great to know Kayfabe is alive and well in the NBA. . .

No, this is Terry Crews: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcpyoRAiSf0 Also, I always like Chris Parnell and it's nice to see him voicing characters on both Archer and Rick and Morty, which got a second season renewal today. Both of these animated shows are really good right now too. Also, some places are reporting that Comcast is going to buy Time Warner. I, for one, welcome our new cable conglomerate monopoly.

Not when Swags gets repackaged as Bigg Hoss Jack and is managed by Bunkhouse Buck. People chanting "We Want Bunk!" will be happy. You just made me think of a great Raw guest host. Fine, tonight you'll get John Cena vs....DANIEL BRYAN! You happy now, ya bitch?

Wrestling occurs in a really narrow space where WWE is both the progenitor and caretaker of its history. What I mean to say is the likelihood of there ever being some archive where you can put on a pair of white gloves and view the ppv is very small. The historical value is undeniable but it's also not like footage has been totally lost. I think the problem with putting Over the Edge on the network is in edifying a "clean" version of the event. Pat themselves on the back for not showing him fall, or the immediate aftermath, then air Mark Henry's poem a million more times. I just don't see a way for WWE to use the broadcast itself in any form that doesn't re-victimize his survivors. Personally the two parts I find most affecting are the pre-match promo on the Godfather, and Lawler's thousand yard stare when he returns to the table. Knowing what happens, the sense of doom radiates forward and backward equally. By the time you're done clipping you've satisfied no one and also deeply compromised the historical value. Should've just put the main event on the History of the WWE Championship dvd and been done with it forever.

Anyway, I'm amazed we made it all the way to season 5 before they finally got around to making the shitty cell reception in the Kentucky hills a plot point. The cell coverage on this show has always been preposterous. I'm guessing somebody from the show finally took a field trip out there and realized you can't get a signal for shit in that country. THAT THERE POOL WAS MY DREAM.

First time I've seen this photo. Think it's from 2003 as The Undertaker looks more like Biker 'Taker.

They should have Colt call Miz and tell him not to do everything he does And not to not jump in front of a bus

That explains so much I was thinking the same thing. Please go back.

Those last two matches were man-sized from Night 2. Okada's giant dinosaur was...unexpected.

Triple H revealing that his and Stephanie's daughters are called Aurora, Murphy and Vaughn really made me question just how good the McMahon's family's taste in names are.

Just got back from Robocop as well and really enjoyed it. A completely different take on the basic premise of robot cop. Really, really enjoyed it even if it lacked action in parts.

This is absurdly NSFW.

The Hooters is an awesome choice, but they're kind of a medium sized deal in Philly.

Take it to DM or get a room or what ever. Both of you please just shut up.

This looks like the big special effects sequence of a movie.

The more movies Miz makes, the less time he has for wrestling. It's a win-win all around.

Hahaha man that was hilarious. The terrible attempts at denying it too. "IF I WAS GONNA CHEAT I'D HAVE DONE IT 100%"

Goddamnit! I've been working on a script for years, where she was going to play me in my life story. This fucking hurts so hard.

I'll be honest, as much goodness as there is on a weekly episode, if I don't get an Enzo Amore promo, the weeks is probably going to be not a good one. I'm not sure WWE has had a guy come along who is this legitimately funny since Santino. I'm not sure I've laughed harder at a WWE moment in years (Intentionally, I mean) as I have at that English-Enzo/Cass promo from a few weeks back where English calls them neanderthals and Enzo turns to Cass and with a completely straight face and sounding totally genuine goes "What's a neanderthal?" and Cass just pats him on the shoulder like "Shut up" and it ends with Enzo running over English's foot. That just slayed me. Just thinking about it makes me laugh.

This is a worthwhile post and it's a shame it'll get buried here.

What if Magnum TA's career hadn't been ended by that horrific car crash? Would JCP still be in business?
