Somehow it got even better.

You can't get away with murdering drifters in the WWE, what with Ambrose being the leader of Vince McMahon's Hobo Army and looking out for his people. But in the Subterranean Lucha, that's good for at least half a season's worth of storyline.

Eh Eh, no.

"Why... have I hired you as a chef... when you've aten all the food. Senor Reeves, I want to eat sometimes myself. If you don't make me what I want -- and leave it on the plate -- then I might have to give you a Unique Opportunity to fight with someone who does know how to eat... eat people."

Johnny Ace's mullet in that picture should be nominated for the Wrestling Observer HOF. It doesn't get any more Joe Dirt than that

And now for the other side of the spectrum.......

Anytime

Fuckin' A, Ichiro just tripled for 3000.

Mort's looking rough for obvious reasons. Hope he makes it whatever his chances are.

Welp, that was quick, someone compiled the latest meme already:

Ryback as Dario Cueto's personal chef.

Maybe as job boys for Stroman. If I was Swann and got a call saying I was going to be the fourth member of New Day I'd be fucking ecstatic.

If I'm not mistaken, Rhyno licks her ass before piledriving her. Then again, who hasn't licked Jasmin St. Claire's ass before piledriving her?

TNA has minority ownership... "Remember guys, swastikas aren't bad, they're fun! It's like a plus-sign doing cartwheels!"

No Asian superstar? Batista was so Filipino he had the Filipino flag tattooed on him.

Well Moroz vs. Taylor sucked.

The Bills signed Brandon Spikes, because uh well 75% the LBs are injured and he is a warm body. Maybe he can still hit people hard.

And I should point out Will Smith was a top notch Will Smith performance that was only somewhat related to playing Floyd.

This table tennis match with Li Jie (Netherlands) vs Xue Li (France) is one of the most unintentionally hilarious things I've ever seen.

No, it's definitely capitalist. If it was communist, it would be free to play on all formats.

I don't think it is guys getting worked it is guys who sees stacks of stacks of cash in their bank account if they do actually have a match. If i was a wrestler where the chances of being the top 1 or 2 matches of SummerSlam or Wrestlemania are slim to none, why the hell not

Olympic Grand Amplitude

Is Rusev doing the Cornette face?

I knew they were going to have rugby sevens this time. I did not know they were going to have women's rugby sevens. Slightly less raw footspeed than men's sevens but that just seems to increase the chance of dramatic touchdown try saving tackles on what look like the standard sevens breakaway. Women's Rugby is definitely going to to be this year's sport I get upset about not seeing while they shove beach volleyball and gymnastics down my throat.

The women's medley world record got CRUSHED tonight.

Pretty sure we're going to hear Bruno tell the "I sold out every arena all the time but Hogan? He could only sell out once! And when he'd come back the next time, the houses would be down. The fans got sick of him! And then Vince asked me to come back because Hogan couldn't draw" story that I think he has told on every single Observer interview he's ever done.

My dumb ass almost completely forgot he was the most venomous villain in modern film -- Calvin Candey -- in Django Unchained. Hot damn what a performance. That role was a mic drop in and of itself. EDIT: In writing that I am ignoring Samuel L. Jackson as Stephen and I apologize profusely. But hey, him and Candey were a tag team, so I don't feel as bad.

Hey, women's rugby is kind of fun to watch.

Fled was amazing to a 11-year-old me. I never want to look through the peephole of a door, ever, because of that movie. Stephen Baldwin had a good little run there for a minute between The Usual Suspects and Fled. Additionally, I had no idea that The Defiant Ones was a thing at the time and I've had this weird feeling about watching it because I saw Fled probably a good half-dozen times and I don't want it ruined by what is obviously a superior movie (and I love both Poitier and Curtis). One day, I'll watch The Defiant Ones... One day.

Let's not forget Renee Young.

The NEW ERA means more replays on Main Event and less matches. Main Event 7/26 #200 Hype Bros vs. Vaudevillains. Crowd seemed into Mojo. Vaude’s got the heat on Zack and Mojo worked the apron well getting the crowd HYPED for the hot tag. Bros won with the Hype Ryder in 9 minutes. This would be a fun house show opener. B- Tyler Breeze vs. Jey Uso. Fandango gets involved from the outside allowing Breeze to gain the advantage. Breeze was pretty good in this bumping around and controlling the match. Uso tried hard but I didn’t think the match hit the next gear. Nice counter off the splash by Breeze into a nearfall. Breeze hit the superkick and put his feet on the ropes for the win in 14 minutes. B- Superstars 7/29 #381 Sin Cara vs. Bo Dallas. Poor Bo has to do the Bo Train all by himself now. He somehow winds up with a bloody lip early on. I’m guessing he didn’t complain to Hunico about it afterwards. I still think someone got the Lucha Dragons mixed up and that’s why Kalisto is the one on Smackdown. Sin Cara wins with a Swanton Bomb in 4 minutes. I fear for Bo’s future. C The Dudley Boyz vs. Titus O’Neil & Jack Swagger. Swags gets the advantage for a couple minutes before the Dudz take over and work his shoulder. “I’m gonna smack you around and you can’t do nothing about it!” Bubba taunts Swagger. Titus finally gets in on the hot tag. Dudz cut him off. Go for the Wassup but Swagger tosses D-Von off the top. Clash of the Titus finishes it in 9 minutes. Ok match, easy night for Titus. C+ Main Event 8/2 #201 Jey Uso vs. Tyler Breeze. Rematch from last week. Not much to this one. Fandango gets involved and Breeze picks up another win in 3 minutes. C Ascension vs. Hype Bros. Mojo does football spots with Viktor. Ascension get the heat on Ryder. Lots of squeezing and chin locks until they hit a sweet double powerbomb type maneuver. Finishing stretch is fun. Looks like Ryder kills Konor with the Broski Boot. Hype Ryder ends it in 11 minutes. Pretty much same thoughts as last week’s match. B- Superstars 8/5 #382 Neville vs. Curtis Axel. I guess Neville will do nothing until the Cruiserweight Division starts. Neville hits a moonsault to the floor in the opening moments of the match. Better than their RAW match. Neville wins with the Red Arrow in 3 minutes. C The Dudley Boyz vs. Jack Swagger & Sin Cara. New tag partner for Swagger this week. Swagger hits a big belly-to-belly on Bubba Ray and backdrops Sin Cara out of the ring onto the Dudz. D-Von helps the Dudleyz gain the advantage by pulling Swagger’s hair. At the end, D-Von crotches Sin Cara on the top rope and they hit the 3D for what seems like a rare win these days. Match was OK, Cara and Swagger didn’t seem to have much chemistry. C+

Put a brick inside the King Maxel doll

I have this preordered from Amazon but I may have to cruise by the local Gamestop, just in case. I've been looking forward to this since it was announced and I'm well into the "unreasonably excited" phase. Exploration is one of my favorite parts of gaming, and it looks like this is going to be pure, uncut exploration.

My favorite part was when Jericho was asking him about using King Maxel as a decoy and he responds by very matter of factly stating "That was not my baby. That was a doll."

You mean it's awesome?

Joke that no one will get..... Asuka definitely rubbed Aaliyah the wrong way.

Roode's theme is too good for words

Unless you work in a garage. Fucking garage nazis.

So the best part of Smackdown occurred after Smackdown

Who among us has never hit on a marine's ex-gf, passed out from Somas and then gotten his head slammed in a car door?

Has anyone watched Last Chance U on Netflix? I've watched 5 out of the 6 episodes and I'm dying to get home so I can finish it up. It is about the East Mississippi Community College football team, which is an elite junior college football program. It is basically a team full of Division I football talent that didn't have good enough grades to attend a Division I school. It shows how and why these kids fell through the cracks, but also shows that these kids have all the potential in the world. It is one of those things where you see kids who believe in themselves at 1000% when playing football, but 0% everywhere else. I honestly don't know if I'll feel uplifted or heartbroken at the end, but it is definitely going to be one of the two.
