JBL is the wrestler I've probably done the biggest 180 on over the course of my wrestling life. I never thought anything of him as I was growing up and his title run fell super flat for me at the time, especially with Eddie not getting much of a run before hand. I think it was after he came back to the ring after his first stint announcing that I started to like him. Looking back, he was pretty much always good or at least had visible talent. Yeah, he had some super lame gimmicks in the mid 90s, but he was a poor man's Stan Hansen in the ring and usually good for a fired-up promo. He actually had some fun matches with the pre-DX Outlaws and Kai En Tai even before he settled into the Acolytes. That wasn't even a good gimmick for him, but the chemistry with Faarooq was so good, it kept him afloat for years. The title run was jarring due to how fast his gimmick changed and how fast he won the belt, but his match quality went way up as he got to work longer singles matches with high-end wrestlers. Even though he adopted some cowardly heel tactics, his matches were still mostly high-impact brawling. The length of his reign combined with his mostly cheap wins made him the ideal guy for Cena to crush and launch his main event run. Then he spent the rest of his career as the perfect upper midcard heel with his perfected character and polished in-ring skills.

Yes, he explained it wasn't white boy day.

I don't see how anyone thinks Ranallo and his stilted delivery is good. Seems like people over hype any outside hire WWE makes. The guy is not good. No, he's really very, very good. Just give him a chance. Two weeks is not an adequate sample size. I've had the pleasure of listening to his work for NJPW and he's outstanding at calling the match and giving you an incredible amount of back-story without being intrusive. I'd actually go beyond "very, very good" and say the guy is "gifted". The very last thing that the WWE needs to do is curtail him by having an idiot screaming in his ear while he's trying to do his job. Mauro really doesn't require any assistance from VKM in calling matches.

Jason Floyd ‏@Jason_Floyd 4m Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs. Claudia Gadelha set for The Ultimate Fighter 23 Finale on July 8 in Las Vegas That season will be LHW and Women's Strawweight.

Watching Bo Dallas mugging and looking more like Marco Rubio than ever before I couldn't stop re-imagining the social outcasts as a bunch of primary losers who won't go away. Basically I saw them as: Bo Dallas: Marco Rubio Heath Slater: Jim Webb Curtis Axl: Rick Perry Adam Rose: Zombie Paul Tsongas It then made so much sense when they wouldn't stop taking the mic from each other and even sense more when Hillary The Big Show Clinton chokeslammed Jim Webb and then laid Marco out while he was taking his victory lap while a few holdouts chanted "Please retire!"

The only other one i ever remember from memory is Argus, because it was Flash and drawn by Phil Hester.

Me, last night playing some side mission in Borderlands 2: "I hate this fuckin' game." Me, today, rescuing Roland from prison with 2 significantly better guns: "WOOO, that was fuckin' awesome!"

BBC's new miniseries version of "And Then There Were None" with Charles MOTHERFUCKING DANCE is coming to Lifetime of all places.

Making the master list is the hard part. Now you get to put them into http://www.backloggery.com/and feel organised. Dota 2.

That sucks. Somebody should use a loaded forearm brace as a tribute on Raw tonight.

Matt, I think this is what you're looking for:

Reigns will eliminate Sami immediately after.

And then she gave him the Balor to Bayley suplex

I think the question you need to ask yourself is: How does Zayn eliminating Owens get Roman Reigns over?

This was the main event of the NXT Chicago afternoon show I went to.

That makes it sound like going to NXT is a punishment and place for losers to go.

Jada Pinkett Smith twatted her disapproval.

I'd watch Brock vs. Harper anywhere. I wouldn't care if it's Wrestlemania or not.

Big win for the Bulls today with the news of Jo being out for the season. That one felt pretty good considering how many minutes of basketball it took for us to beat the Pistons! Between his awful start to the season and Jimmy Butler's play, Derrick Rose is flying way under the radar right now. His shooting numbers are starting to rise and he has been super effective around the rim over the last month or so. Hopefully he starts to earn back his reputation around the rim so the refs will start giving him some calls!

FUCK...FUCK....FUCK! This past couple weeks have been shitty. One of my favorite bands. Really good song writer. FUCK!!!

He literally just helps guide Juvi into the railing. This is not the first or last time he'd try to kill Juvi:

I interviewed "Iron" Mike Sharpe in college for a fanzine I made. I sneaked into the locker room after some terrible indie show in suburban Philly somewhere. My first question: "What is it like being Canada's Greatest Athlete?" My second: "How is your wrist injury?" He kept in caharacter the whole time. (This was 1995 or 1996.) Perfect. The same evening King Kong Bundy said to me that he was responsible for the death of Andre The Giant.

I couldn't remember if Big Bossman died while still employed by WWE so I looked up and found out his second to last match was in an IWA Japan title tournament against........ FREDDY KREUGER

His arm pain has finally ended. #sorrynotsorry

Kris & David are joined by Pete Schirmacher (Titans of Wrestling/This Week in Wrestling) to discuss the week that was January 12-18, 1996. We discuss Sabu & Peter McNeely being in the 1996 Royal Rumble and why it didn’t happen, the vindictiveness of Vince McMahon, Billionaire Ted strikes a nerve in WCW, the birth of BattlARTS, AAA vs. Televisa, wacky MMA bit on the Phil Donahue Show, the awesomeness of early 1996 USWA, the Welch Family Tree, and Mike Ditka managing Mongo McMichael?????? http://placetobenation.com/between-the-sheets-25-january-12-18-1996-with-pete-schirmacher/

Undercover Boss: Starkiller Base ruled.

Is that Christopher Daniels gimmick as lame as it sounds or is it tongue in cheek? "This medal, I received for going to a one hour draw against CM Punk, And THIS medal I received for succesfully navigating backstage politics in TNA for two year"

I'm pretty interested to see which NFC team Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will be openly cheering for now that Seattle and Green Bay are both out.

Again, the All Star game isn't even the story here. The NHL pretty openly involved itself in collusion to move a guy to a different conference and bury him in the AHL, which costs him a bunch of money. I'm sad the media (and pretty much all the fans) has already moved on from that, because it's completely out of line. Phoenix could have just buried him in the minors theselves and the NHL could have made up some new rule on the spot (it's not like they don't introduce rules mid season anyway) and avoided that, but they chose not to. The joke that the All Star game has become is completely secondary, to me.

Fuck that. '85 Bears 4 Eva

His title fight with Tito Ortiz is basically the beginning of my serious MMA fandom. I had watched a lot of the really early UFCs, but mostly I was less than a casual fan. I started doing jiu jitsu right around the time of UFC 50 and decided to give it another look and haven't looked back since. I've watched essentially every UFC since and I I'm happy to see Cote still getting it done.

Yes that was fun! I am just so glad that Mr Wrestling III has taken over for Steve Corino without missing a beat on commentary. It's cool that he even does Steve's catch phrases as a tribute as well!

One of the many many reasons the original FRIGHT NIGHT is still one of the best movies ever:

This is canon now, right? (From SNL, so not sure if spoilers)

Ain't been on here inna dalm long time and this has nothin to do with GTA other than my game style. Anyhoo me and Burke have been playin red dead and I passed into legend mode on free mode. I had a mur mur pistol and that's about it. Other than my trusty tomahawks that I purchased in some rockstar money scheme. Some high level bastard kept whoopin my ass my shitty volcanic revolver just couldn't get the job done. I finally got in close to the bastard and got the ol' tomahawks out. I Mary Lou and sling one between that bastards eyes. I ended up gettin 3 Mary Lou tomahawk kills inna row on the Shit ass. It was good times. Hope to get a one, one of these here days and roam the streets once again!

Teddy Long to revamp boxing by introducing the Holla Holla Tag Team Match? "Fury, I know you don't like Wilder playa, but you've got a Title match against Klitschko next month, so I'm going to put you and your British colleague Anthony Joshua in a TAG TEAM match in the main event of tonight's showtime boxing!"

A few months ago I turned the feature off just so I could see if sigs had improved (I know, sometimes I'm as unreasonably optimistic as Greg at a Positivity Seminar run by Vince McMahon...) Anyway, first thing I see is this huge sig wherein this dude is seemingly being fisted by a bear, yeah, that's right, a BEAR! And the color scheme, my God, the color scheme... My eyes bled for three days... We're not trying that experiment again anytime soon.

So has that been the plan all along? Since the WWE can't seem to create stars, they 50-50 book themselves into 200 midcarders so they can do 4 house shows a day full of people that the people who go to house shows have heard of, but that's it? "We need to get 200 people over just to the point where people recognize their entrance music. Then we're golden."

IMO: it might not necessarily be about whether Avery did or did not do it. It's that the cops kinda/sorta thought he did it. And decided to frame him, And ruin his innocent mentally disabled nephew's life in the process. That is the problem. There's a whole lot more to this than a basic Serial-style "Whodunnit?"

I'm just saying that if every year sucks for you, then maybe you should change something or something.

Let me answer this question in flowchart form.

Political unrest stabilize society...yeah!

All of you hating Superbad are crazy and should be punished accordingly.

Ziggy Stardust is the Pink Floyd album chicks can actually dance to.

Finally watched Creed. Melodramatic and ridiculous at times, which means it was a Rocky movie. I lived for it. Everyone knows at this point that Michael B. Jordan is a damn fine actor but Sly more than held up his end. Billion stars.

Do you guys remember when R. Kelly tried to claim it was his brother in the tape? What the hell does he do come Thanksgiving? Want to feel really creepy? Go through his catalog and see how many of your favorite songs could be some sort of euphemism for his preference for teenagers...you will start deleting songs from you iPod. It really is a travesty that R Kelly hasn't done serious jail time. If even 10% of what is rumored about this guy is true...fucking hell.
