I hate you all. With the passion of many supernovae.

Here you go.

Punk is selling them at his new job - a food truck chef in Wicker Park.

When did Mike say that? Direct link please. http://tinyurl.com/2fcpre6

I know this wasn't directed at me, but since I have also worked with Tracy at times over the years, I thought I'd share. Years ago when I was working for the HWA, Tracy was coming up and doing our weekly shows for a stretch of a few months. Aside from always being professional and extremely nice to everyone, from "vets" to rookies to announcers to refs to bell ringers to security guards, etc, of course he was also always the best thing to watch on the show. He could do the same promo or schtick every week and it was always over. We did a weekly TV show and even though his promos always got recorded, we knew we couldn't use them for TV because it was a one hour show and his promos generally went 20 minutes or so before the match even started. Not sure if he still does, but he would always bring a green worker or manager or someone on the road with him. Basically they'd drive him, set up his merch, etc, and in return he'd get them booked on the show for maybe a small payday and more importantly, the experience of traveling with him and learning from him. For a few weeks he was bringing a guy around as his manager that called himself The Internet Terrorist. He dressed in a suit and carried a laptop which he would occasionally open and type on during a match, turned in a way that the crowd couldn't see it wasn't even powered up. I remember one particular match where Tracy objected to a call the referee made and stopped the match and grabbed the mic for a mid match promo, as he often did. He got out of the ring and took the guy's laptop, opened it and sat it on the apron, clear to everyone that it wasn't even on. He did some fumbly exaggerated typing and said he was "officially filing a report with HWA management about how biased and terrible the referees of the HWA were, and while he was at it, he was sending an e-mail to Dave Meltzer burying the HWA!" It struck me as so funny then and still does to this day. I'm ten years into the business now and still going, and I've been on shows with many legends, and still, the period of time when I got to regularly work on shows with Tracy are the highlight of my time in the biz so far.

Abuddadein has told me, that Cespedes for Gomes was a winning trade, Cespedes possesses the golden bat, weaved from the threads of Calcutta, and the Sox will raise like the smoke from the streamboxes of the Far East. Ok, Kevin Sullivan needs to do an in-character podcast about the Boston Red Sox now

*voiceover* In a world...overrun by corruption...hackers...immortal god-moders. Some soldiers have been tasked with saving another planet. Some say it's their destiny. *slow mo shot of men walking to shuttle as Leaving On A Jet Plane swells in the background* Four brave men remain in the dirty streets of Los Santos to ensure the astronauts have a home left to return to. Meet the Mayor. Long range fighting expert. Your ass is grass, and his scope is the lawnmower. Meet Robert. You can try to be a passive citizen, but he will ram a fire hose down your throat until you swell and explode. Meet RUkered. He'll miss you with 12 sniper bullets, then hide so he can blow his car up next to you. Meet Stout. You bring the nails, he'll be the hammer while providing bah gawd J.R. commentary. *montage of explosions and heads getting picked clean off their necks while Saliva's Click Click Boom wails in the background* Coming to theaters near you - Sept. 9th

Hulk Hogan is a disingenuous piece of shit. "I'm your BEST FRIEND, Macho! I'm gonna fend off Arn, brother, because your my BEST FRIEND, then I'm gonna hold it over ya, brother, then celebrate in the ring, man, like I just won the goddamn belt myself, brother, and by the way, I want the first title shot, brother!" How did no one in the industry sit Hulk down and be like, "Dude, your character is kind of a sociopath and maybe even a narcissist, but definitely just a bad person altogether?" He's the kind of 'friend' you cut out of your life once you shake off the chronic inebriation of your early 20's.

They were so great they actually made Paul Jones look like a legit manager.

It didn't NEED to be done, but it just makes the whole thing pop..

Well there is this game coming out Tuesday, you may have heard of it, it would be a nice change of pace from the fuckery in los santos Nope, nope, nope, nope. I can't get into first-person shooters, I just can't. Didn't like Halo, didn't like the demo of this very much. It's OK, not bad, but I need more than OK to plunk down $60 for a game. The mayor, chief of staff/fireman Robert (until he becomes a papa), the mayor's bodyguard/drinking buddy RUkered and the court jester me will have to hold down the fort in Los Santos while all y'all are on Saturn or wherever.

No. Their intro gig was over as hell and people did love the NAO. But in terms of staying with them during the match and keeping the crowd hot, and the crowd being into them for a whole match, not a chance.

I say it every time someone brings him up, and I don't fucking care.. I miss Big Johnny.

I just can't believe after lighting up crowds across the country, saving the WWE from the orton/batista disaster and carrying Mania on his back to a very respectable buyrate people are debating whether Bryan was just a bunch of smarks being smarky. I can't think of a more ridiculous talking point that routinely pops up.

Apparently this match is going to happen.

My kids absolutely love the Slam City toys, and yes they have the CM Punk one. A while back my 5-year-old said "Now that CM Punk isn't on wrestling anymore, maybe he can really be an ice cream man now." I could barely stop myself from laughing out loud.

Since when did FELINO get a Topps card?! The ever fashionable Takayama and hilariously found this

Maybe people wouldn't be so happy about TNA possibly going out of business if the promotion wasn't so awful to begin with. Frankly I'd be more pissed at the fact that a better promotion could be in that timeslot then fucking TNA. Anyone worth their shit will probably make better money working the indy scene anyway, the only people banking on TNA surviving is Dixie Carter, so let's save the whole "A NATIONAL PROMOTION IS DYING PEOPLE~" routine.

I gotta admit, this one is awesome.

Tell her she has too many complaints

I've just read Inherent Vice by Thomas Pynchon and all I could picture the whole time was Dude Love. OWWWWW HAVE MERCY!

Maaan, Batman flew the Batwing through Gotham, he didn't give no shit about all the people he was endangering!!!

God. Night Stand was fucking great. So god damned funny .

I just published my first article in the new Aspen Institute Journal of Ideas Teen Mom Effect

Black Buffalo: Ladies bovine.

sausage biscuits are healthier than the bullshit WWE is trying to feed us with the Monday Night War series.

LOL @ The Jets!

Schindler's got a list...and you're on it, asshole.

I tried to start discussion about TNA stuff, but some of you are being stubborn. So I propose we talk about this gif of Grover serving a giant hamburger.

Also, Arn Anderson is doing the Lord's work in some of these Horsemen vs. nWo promos... "You tried to blind me with spray paint. You should used battery acid, because that's what I would've done..." "I called ahead in Winston Salem and reserved a hospital room for myself, because I might need one after War Games..."
