  3. The following is brought to you as a public service announcement on behalf of Silver Shamrock Inc. and the Undead Coalition of Ghoulish Endeavors and Opportunities (UCGEO) You don't really know much about Halloween... you thought no further than the strange custom of having your children wear masks and go out begging for candy. It was the start of the year in our old Celtic lands, and we'd be waiting... in our houses of wattles and clay. The barriers would be down, you see, between the real and the unreal, and the dead might be looking in... to sit by our fires of turf. Halloween... the festival of Samhain! The last great one took place three thousand years ago, when the hills ran red... with the blood of animals and children. Sacrifices. It was part of our world... our craft. To us, it was a way of controlling our environment. It's not so different now... it's time again. In the end... we don't decide these things, you know... the planets do. They're in alignment, and it's time again. The world's going to change tonight, doctor, I'm glad you'll be able to watch it. And... happy Halloween. It's almost time, kids. The clock is ticking. Be in front of your TV sets for the Horrorthon, followed by the Big Giveaway. Don't miss it. And don't forget to wear your masks. The clock is ticking. It's almost time. We have less than a month to get our flabby overly corporeal asses into shape. I'd start by drinking ectoplasm and freebasing Stranger Things and then move on to harder stuff. Here is my tentative watchlist. Feel free to add yours: Goodnight Mommy It Follows Berberian Sound Studio We Are What We Are Kill List The Orphanage Trouble Every Day Cold Fish The Innkeepers I Saw the Devil The Skin I Live In The Final Girls When Animals Dream We Are Still Here What We Do In the Shadows Troll Hunter Hellraiser Creep Would You Rather Dead Silence Dawn/Day of the Dead CHUD All the Boys Love Mandy Lane Rosemary's Baby

  8. Back to the GLOW show, Chavo Guerrero is set to be the wrestling coordinator for the show. I don't know if it will translate to an acting role on the show or not. Coincidentally his uncle Mando was the trainer for GLOW back in the day.

  13. Up until he mentioned the election I was expecting this to go a little differently: "Hi, my name is Kurt Angle, I'm an Olympic gold medalist, and my parole officer told me I have to collect signatures of everyone in the neighborhood of my halfway house before I can operate a motor vehicle. There are three or four pages of information about the various things I've done and I really need you to sign all of them. Also are you interested in buying a gold medal?"

  14. Way to really make Kevin Owens look strong, guys. Make his first RAW as champion the most pointless one-thing-that-leads-nowhere-after-another show I can remember in, like, my entire life. I was so bored during this show I tried to find another episode of RAW that might have matched it for sheer pointlessness. This is the best I could come up with: November 8, 1993 Monday Night RAW results Fernwood Resort in Bushkill, Pennsylvania. - Ludvig Borga and Scott Steiner fought to a Double disqualification. - Men on a Mission defeated Corey Student and Steve Smyth. - Rick Martel defeated John Paul. - Crush and Dan Dubiel fought to a no-contest. - Bob Backlund and Barry Horowitz fought to a no-contest. Now imagine that went on for another full hour and add horrible comedy segments and a maudlin fake retirement that tried to milk all the worst chant-tendencies from today's crowds and couldn't even do that pulled off with no style or flair by someone I used to think had style and flair...and then add a crowd who literally hated everyone an everything in front of them and make every single match the same one-person-is-injured-and-can't-keep-up thing...and you've got tonight. WCW can't come along soon enough.

  22. not sure if serious. the Last Battle of Atlanta is reportedly one of the best (and bloodiest) cage matches of all time. Tommy Rich and Buzz Sawyer battled it out in an enclosed cage in October of 1983. no footage has EVER been released from it (not on GCW/WCW tv at the time, not on any compilations, etc.) and it is reported to be a fantastic fight and fitting end for their near two-year feud. there have been discussions for YEARS that footage did not exist. Or did exist, but Ole Anderson destroyed it. Or that only one man had it but would never release it. and on and on. the fact that we are mere days from literally the rarest and most requested match in history showing up is quite the accomplishment. link: a KayFabe Memories thread discussing the video availability of the match (from 2009): http://www.infinitecore.ca/superstar/index.php?km_km_ict=3c9e27c589db2a1b7195853080d30a0a&threadid=63013&page=0#pager

  25. I'll tell you how they should've turned Roman Reigns heel, baby! The Raw after the SummerSlam, when Stephanie, Foley, and Balor are in the ring and just as Balor is about to weepily speak about surrendering the WWC Universal Championship, The Big Dog interrupts. He tells Foley and Stephanie that he is ready for his US Championship match that he didn't get at SummerFest and gets informed that Rusev isn't there because Reigns injured him. Reigns says he's ready to compete for a championship and asks "Irish Eyes Are Crying" over there if he wants to put his new championship on the line like a real champion. Says he saw him on TV that morning and he wasn't wearing a sling then. Says he never looked for an excuse to quit competing. Lost his WrestleMania moment against Brock Lesnar when Rollins cashed in on him in the middle of his match and didn't complain. Refused to be handed the World Championship when Rollins had to surrender the title due to injury and went through a tournament to win the championship and promptly lost it when Sheamus cashed in on him but didn't complain. Had to defend the World Championship against 29 other Superstars in the Royal Rumble match and even though he was set up to fail by The Authority he still didn't complain. Got blamed for Raw not getting the World Championship even though, "you had the first pick and took Rollins instead of Ambrose and even worse you picked that guy over there before me. Balor when you beat me to get to the finals, I thought you were the real deal and said I respected you. Looking at you ready to take the easy way out, I was wrong." Balor accepts his challenge and while Balor argues with Foley and Stephanie, Reigns spears him from behind. Ref enters, Balor struggles to get to his feet, bell rings, Superman punch, 1-2-3, new champion of the universe, Roman Reigns, The Big Dog! The next week, Foley and Stephanie are furious with Reigns' actions and demand he come to the ring. Reigns says he's not going to take any crap off of them anymore and if they've got a problem with the champ then to take it up with his new manager, The World's Greatest Wrestling Promoter, Colonel Robert Parker! Col. Parker says, "The office has time and again swatted The Big Dog on the nose with the proverbial rolled up newspaper and he's tried to be a good boy and take it but from now on The Big Dog is off the leash and he's going to run wild all over the WWE Universe and none of your bureaucratic BS is going to stand in his way anymore with the Colonel handling the paperwork and with The Stud Stable backing him up, there won't be any more of those back jumping Money In The Bank cash-ins to worry about and from now on these last dog days of summer shall be known as The Big Dog Days Of Summer, babygirl!"

  26. Xavier looks like a man who is very aware of his company's sexual harassment policy. He knows exactly where her breasts are, but he somehow keeps his eyes off of them...despite the fact that they are essentially on his eyes. Dana in street clothes is 2500% better looking than she is in her ring gear. I used to work retail, and everyone essentially wore the same unflattering outfit every day. Every so often, one of my female coworkers would come in to shop on her day off, and I realized that she looked a lot different when she picked out her outfit. Dana is someone I was never really attracted to, but she looks great in that gif.

  27. Wow from looking at the clip the quality is really damn good for 1982 (hope I got the year right). There is no way that Ellering knowingly had that footage for over 30 years and then just now decided it would be good to show up. He had to know how important that footage was. Would it be funny if that match was used as barter for him to manager the Authors of Pain in NXT But how about GAGNE-METRICS

  28. A friend and I were watching some random stuff last night and happened upon the Extreme Tiger vs. Dragon Lee match from Cubsfan's MOTYC list. Holy shit, Tiger almost ended Lee several times throughout the match, the best of which was a spinning kick to the mush. Ridiculous match in front of what sounds like a super tiny Arena Mexico crowd, but so much fun. Kick is at the 6:00 mark. O_O Looking forward to checking out the Aniversario show.

  30. I was 10 years old when Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn dropped. It holds a special place in my heart for me. You see, as a kid, Star Trek The Original Series was one of the few things I could always sit and watch with my Dad. We had and still have very different tastes. But Star Trek was something we could sit and bond over. So when we went to see Star Trek II and "The Moment" happens (and if you have to ask "What moment?" then seriously fuck you) it had a dep impact on me. I made it through the to the end of the movie and once we exited the theater on66th and 2nd ave in NYC then I broke down crying. So there I am a bawling 10 year old in the street and my mother's idea of comforting me is to tell me "It's just a movie Jamie". My Father, never the most outwardly emotionally of men, Firmly tells her "Don't tell him that! Death is something he needs to understand". I cried all the way to the coffee shop we walked to for dinner. After a few more minutes of crying after we are seated we order and my father and I sit and have a very frank and honest conversation about death and why my reaction to Spock's death was not only a proper response but a healthy response. "You're my son and you're sensitive and I'm actually happy for that" were the exact words he used sum up the conversation. It is still as crystal clear in my memory as the day it happened. Spock's death still makes me cry and always will. James

Guess he's been hurt enough. ---- Who is watching the kids when Steph and Hunter are both at the show? What poor nanny has to explain the after match look of shock on Steph's face to the children after their classmates show memes of it?
