I don't recall Tazz beating Angle, I do seem to remember him using an illegal chokehold that night though

It's because Heyman protected him really well and he had cool music. Even if you get dumped upon later on, there's a mythos that never goes away from having a really good run.

"It's fusilli Daniel..."

Naw dog naw All I'm saying is if you could do flips you'd be doing them all the time too I'd be doing 450 spike taking out the garbage and dishwashing con giro And you'd never want to use my bathroom, that's for sure

... And to end on a funny note:

We need a membership screening process

I keep picturing Louis C.K. getting beat up when I watch those Nasty Neds gifs.

Ok, so we shouldn't hold him to any kind of standards what-so-ever? We should just accept everything he writes and he's credibility is immune from any kind of questioning? Its crazy how this guy has the entire internet wrapped around his finger.

"Sense" isn't the word I'd use for anything the Bucks do.

I miss my WCW.

Eric Bischoff has since renounced HLA in favor of HLT: Happy Little Trees.

Eric Bischoff sitting in the RF Video hot seat. It's a sad day indeed. Sad thing is that he probably had to wait in the room until after the Johnny Kashmere shoot was taped to start

Well, not always. There's "aluminum".

I don't think Bret can play on ST thou

"Adrienne Barbeau... AN OUTRAGOUS PAIR!" You should vote for Swamp Thing... and Joe Bob Briggs probably things so too...

Bah, I never bought into the whole "sawed off suplex machine quota." There were plenty of midcard hacks like Hardcore Holly, X-Pac, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn around who should've been getting choked out like bitches around the clock by Tazz for a couple of years. Yes, yes, they had to do their due diligence on pushing the likes of Billy Gunn and Chyna but who really thought either one of them were going to break out? Why couldn't they have kept Tazz strong enough to have a prolonged feud with that Canuck Paralyzer guy? I may joke about the orange Lego's garden gnome stature but I totally bought into the Mike Tyson-esque "I'm the baddest MF'er alive schtick" Tazz was doing in ECW. If they would've kept him strong he could've even been a credible pre-Streak acknowledgement WM opponent for 'Taker considering some of those throwaway farces 'Taker ended up being a part of during those turn of the century 'Manias.

Okay, dude who voted for the Tom Jane Punisher over Winter Soldier needs to explain that one.

Exactly. It doesn't matter if he's broken down now with no neck and about 100 pounds overweight. We still remember the Taz who could suplex anyone on their head and choose to believe that he could still do that to anyone at any given time. It's a shame they didn't fully transform Joe into the new Taz when Taz debuted in TNA. Joe becoming the successor to the Taz Dojo and all things FTW would have been great. Around that same time there was a brief staredown between Taz and Homicide during a Cide/Joe match on Impact. For those 15 seconds I wanted to see Taz throw down with Homicide.

I hope Batista is telling Jericho that even he (Batista) think Jericho's tats are awful.

That's 360 degrees at best.

Any chance in hell that perpetual nincompoops WCW could've or would've correctly used the same goody two shoes "Olympic Hero" Kurt Angle that was so masterfully introduced in the WWE; well, besides tapping clean to the Human Lego Figure Tazz with two z's as his first loss. Imagine how sanctimonious Angle's "Olympic Hero" could've been if he ended Goldberg's streak clean as a sheet. Then again that's probably giving way too little credit to WWE but more to the point not enough discredit to WCW that they'd have the foggiest how to best utilize a new guy like Angle. As it is, I would've liked to have seen Sting kept strong enough to be a viable candidate to end the streak. Hart would've been a great story finding a way to beat Goldberg but doesn't WCW come off as bush league by having their unstoppable monster defeated by a guy from the WWE that basically tucked tail and ran from his last major feud with Austin while still up there? Hart's best fit and feuds in WCW seemed to be when he was a smug bastard swapping the US Title with Luger and DDP. Nothing about the way he won the WCW World Title in that tournament really jibed.

Well...It WAS a Young Bucks match.

Just got back from PWG Battle of Los Angeles NIGHT TWO. One of my favorite wrestling shows I've been to in ages. ACH and Kenny Omega put on my favorite match of the year. About to fall asleep at the keyboard, but I just wanted to put the fact that holy shit, Zach Sabre Jr. is absolutely amazing, into the universe. Just fantastic. Also, Chris Hero seems to be leaning towards a bruiser type style instead of pretending he's an elbow ninja and had a great match with Matt Sydal. Good stuff.

Looking at spots 13-15, you're not going to get a whole lot of arguments about him being there. If you're going rank Cruz (#12) at all, I am not sure why he would be several spots below someone who just got blew out by Johnny Eduardo (Wineland is #6). But that's whatever.

I thought all things considered, Soto looked pretty good. His strike defense was really good, until it wasn't, but he needed to throw more if he wanted to win. For a guy who made his debut in one of the strangest circumstances ever, he handled himself well and is forever in the good graces of the UFC. That is just a hell of a fight to get thrown into with barely any warning.

That, and also it's entertaining watching two old queens play dress up with a young girl.

Bethe's Zumba instructor inspired dance celebrations are the best.

Given the specific phrase Browncoats, let me appeal for a moment to my fellow members of said tribe: It's over. O-V-E-R. It ain't coming back. Arrested Development was gone for 7 years before it's comeback. Veronica Mars was gone for 7 years before the movie, and needed an absurdly dedicated creator and star. Firefly has been off the air for TWELVE FUCKING YEARS. It's creator is busy as fuck heading up the biggest movie franchise in the world today. It's lead star has a different tv show that has significantly more viewers than Firefly ever got. It already got a movie, that didn't do very well. The cast is too damn old to play the action star role anymore. Firefly ain't coming back, it's over. (I would go see Serenity 2 at least a half dozen times in the theater if I am ever proven wrong.)

I think you all in the last half day have given more thought to all of this than WCW did. Hogan's only interested in putting over Hulk Hogan.Sure the logical thing would have been to build up to a legit Hogan/Goldberg rematch with no bullshit. But even if they did that (say for The Great American Bash in a cage or something), at the last minute Hogan would have used his power and made Goldberg look weak in the process. I mean hell, look at Hogan now. Despite being 61 and brittle as anything he's trying to con his way into a match with Brock Lesnar just so he can get the win back from the match against him on Smackdown. Goldberg was doomed the moment he beat Hogan in the Georgia Dome.

If there's any doubt on how to pronounce an English word, probably best to ask an Englishman, no? It's pronounced Harth. End of discussion. Pronoucing it Herth, that's just a guy with a lisp discussing funeral cars.

Most of my Flair criticisms are only to the claim that he's the Greatest of All Time. If I knock the guy ever it's really only in response to the valid arguments FOR that claim.

Cue ESPN ten minute segment on why SF is the perfect place for Sam, etc. But yes, I do think someone will pick him up, he had a great preseason.

Tromataker: I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Odin. It's a common mistake.

He can be the next Dwayne Jarrett! Or Keary Colbert! Brandon LaFell? Fuck that position is depressing for us.

This thread educated me on the history of Orbit gum, so, at least something good has come from this

'Turn up late, that's a Vader Bomb. Don't land correctly, that's a Vader Bomb. Don't run fast enough, that's a Vader Bomb.'

I just rewatched 'Mud' last night for the 34rd or 4th time. You should see Shannon in 'Shotgun Stories' and 'Take Shelter'. In the former he's the oldest of a set of brothers embroiled in a blood feud with another set of half-brothers. He's great in it. In the latter, he's a guy who begins to see apocalyptic visions and isn't sure if what he's seeing is a harbinger of things to come or a mental illness. He seems like such a good guy that you find yourself rooting for an apocalypse just so he'll be right. But you've probably already seen him as a nice guy. The newlywed in 'Groundhog Day' who is SO stoked to get tickets to Wrestlemania!

She's my jerk of the month

Narrator:The AWA mistreated Hulk Hogan, the biggest wrestling star in the world at the time, and AWA fans demanded a company that would support their champion. Thankfully, Vince McMahon was there to give Hogan a chance to become an even bigger star than everyone dreamed, and AWA fans responded immediately by demanding that McMahon bring the WWF to their area. Vince: "I saw that Hogan was a star, but with me, he would be a mega-star, and I believe in giving the fans what they want." The Miz: "No one liked the AWA! I mean, they were crazy not pushing Hogan! CRAZY! I couldn't believe how they treated the biggest megasuperduperstar in the whole universe!" Narrator: A vindictive Verne Gagne, head of AWA, tried to retaliate by luring Sgt. Slaughter to jump ship on the WWF. However, Gagne's plan went awry when he paired Slaughter with his son, Greg, and ratings and attendance tanked even further for AWA shows." Stephanie: "My dad beat the AWA because all the AWA had were dirty tricks and nepotism, and you can't build a company on qualities like those." AJ Lee: "I couldn't believe it when they tried to steal Sgt. Slaughter, one of my heroes as a little girl, and team him up with Greg Gagne. It was like, 'Come on, who believes that a skinny dude with no muscles is that tough?'"

That's where I am with it too. Plus, I'm just dreading the "DX was the most brilliant hillarious thing ever and it made Ted Turner weep bitter tears in the dead of night" thing which you KNOW is coming.

Which TNA house show is that pic from?
