Watching Dr Strangelove for the first time (well fully) now is not a good idea It is so no longer a comedy

I got my eye on you.

That is an awesome card. Rick McGraw was way over at MSG, and I am a big Killer Khan (and American Dream) mark too. Muraco/Martel is a consummate heel vs. a prettyboy babyface (that did not irk me) dream match. KKM probably brought out the best in Backlund. Here's how it played out: WWF @ New York City, NY - Madison Square Garden - June 8, 1981 (near capacity)Televised on the MSG Network and USA Network - featured Vince McMahon on commentary; included McMahon conducting a ringside interview with Andre the Giant regarding Killer Khan and Andre's broken ankle:Larry Sharpe pinned Rick McGraw at 9:06 after falling on top when both men collided with a double shoulderblockCurt Hennig pinned Johnny Rodz at 9:45 with a running forearm smash followed by an elbow drop (Hennig's MSG debut)Don Muraco (w/ the Grand Wizard) defeated Rick Martel via count-out at 10:27 after crotching Martel on the top rope (Muraco's MSG debut)SD Jones pinned Frank Savage at 6:17 with a swinging neckbreakerDusty Rhodes defeated Killer Khan via disqualification at 11:45 when Khan kept attacking Rhodes against the ropes for longer than the referee's 5-count; prior to the bout, Khan was escorted to the ring by Freddie BlassieTony Garea pinned Man Mountain Cannon (King Kong Bundy) at 6:23 with a powerslam; prior to the bout, Howard Finkel introduced Andre the Giant, who came ringside on crutches and was interviewed by Vince McMahon and remained ringside for this and the next match where McMahon continued to interview himWWF World Champion Bob Backlund (w/ Arnold Skaaland) pinned Angelo Mosca at 10:31 with a crossbody when guest referee Pat Patterson made a fast count while Mosca's foot was also on the bottom rope during the cover after Mosca had shoved Patterson moments earlier; prior to the bout, Capt. Lou Albano escorted Mosca to ringside; after the bout, Mosca attacked Patterson and kicked him out of the ringYoshiaki Yatsu & WWF Jr. Heavyweight Champion Tatsumi Fujinami defeated WWF Tag Team Champions the Moondogs in a Best 2 out of 3 falls match at 22:15, 2-0; fall #1: the champions were disqualified at 15:44 when Spot used his rope belt to choke out Fujinami; fall #2: Fujinami pinned Spot after Rex accidentally hit an elbow drop on his partner; prior to the bout, Strong Kobyashi was introduced alongside the challengers; after the bout, Fujinami announced that he was engaged and his fiancee, Miss Kayori, was escorted to the ringWWF IC Champion Pedro Morales defeated Sgt. Slaughter via disqualification at 6:53 after the challenger punched referee Dick Kroll in the face after Morales repeatedly punched the challenger; prior to the match, the Grand Wizard escorted Slaughter to the ring; after the bout, Morales and Slaughter continued to fight until Morales knocked Slaughter to the floor; moments later, Slaughter came up behind Kroll and put him in the Cobra Clutch while on the apron until Morales fought him off and stalked him backstage Brilliant. Violence and romance. - RAF

got home quite drunk tonight on this awful day in American history and wanted to watch some piece of art that would make me feel good and, you'll all be shocked to hear I know, the 6/9/95 tag is still completely amazing.

Y'all are so cute. "Oh I can't pick locks because it doesn't fit my character!" Meanwhile I just killed a priest and cannibalized him for a ring that I am never going to wear

Hilarity. That's what I expect.

The Miz as Ted McGinley is genius.

"Source Awards? Is that as far as I get in your dreams? " OK, that line slayed me. Gonna have to watch this one.

Having really shitty taste in posters isn't "controversial", it's "having really shitty taste in posters".

Harts/Demos from both SummerSlam matches. Taker/HBK HIAC. Vader/Sting strap match. Dustin vs Buck from Spring Stampede

B Movie t.v. tonight aired SUPERFIGHTS (1995) which was a surprisingly competent campy Kung Fu movie with a WWF theme. At first I saw the skinny white lead and the writer's name, Keith Strandberg of NO RETREAT NO SURRENDER and assumed this was a d-level attempt to make a Canon style karate flick on an even smaller budget. But the fight scenes were surprisingly slick and fast-paced so I looked it up and it turns out it was produced in Hong Kong and directed by a long-time H.K. stunt man and choreographer Siu-Hung Leung who worked on Jackie Chan's TWIN DRAGONS among other great stuff. The plot is hilarious. Some kid gets famous for fighting off some bank robbers and the evil Vince McMahon guy then indoctrinates him into "Superfights" where he'll become a shoot-fighting superstar. BATTLE OF THE TOUGH GUYS!!! Along the way, though, Vince gets him hooked on pills and gradually is revealed to be a major crime boss who uses sex/drugs to turn his fighters into his mob enforcers...blah blah blah...guy meets cute chinese girl and her grandpa who teach him the true way and blah...blah...of course when the time comes, evil Vince turns out to be the most badass fighter of them all (and is played by a guy who did some "evil white guy" work in the classic Hung/Chan/Biao WHEELS ON MEALS). But the important things here are 1) the fights are perfectly great if a bit repetitive and pretty funny (deliberately) at times 2)The final fight sequence is super brutal and fun 3) There's a lot of goofy humor that hits the mark 4) It's filmed in 1995, but it's also filmed in Harrisburg, PA, which means based on the crowds it could have been filmed 1983. 5) Rob Fucking Van Damme shows up in camo (not a cameo, literal camo) fighting a big fat guy dressed as a pirate? 6) Jungle Jim Steele from WCW shows up 7) Keith Hackney, the guy who literally punched the back of Emmanuel Yarburough's head into oblivion so hard he broke his own damn hand in UFC 2 (maybe?), like back when UFC had like Sumo guys and ninjas and shit, shows up 8) This guy from Pootie Tang is in it doing an amazing Eddie Murphy impression 9) It has a dope-ass theme song, here with lyrics overlaid: This is a fun watch and perfect to get you motivated on a Sunday afternoon to start training Monday...or some time after next Tuesday...or once the weather breaks...or just pass me that bag of hint-of-lime Tostitos fuck it, dude. I give it: three outrageous muscle babes murdering skinny dudes out of three.

I haven't either, but a good line is a good line. . . .

Do you believe that pro wrestling is an upper body business?

Oh hey, Vince got out-carnied by someone.

You can say it to me if you'd like and if it would make you feel better.

Don't listen to this Shia Lebouf-loving maniac.

Given the imminent change in administration set to go down tomorrow, I think that is a really bad idea. Now I am laughing at the prospect of the owner of the Tijuana Chargers telling taxpayers that they should cover the team's share of the border wall that the Americans made Mexico pay for.

Equal pay

How to eliminate a giant:

Went with Swanson/Choi but Lawler/Condit and McGregor/Diaz II would win most years. We had some truly amazing fights in 2016.

They wouldn't sign another Free Agent again.

Like when Bart's Krusty doll was switched to "evil".

The Miz is the closest they have to the jock QB with the hot gf/wife.

I like to go back and watch old Royal Rumbles. Usually just the match itself, sometimes a match or two from the undercard as well (Cena vs Umaga never gets old)

It brings to mind the idea of Comfort Food Wrestling (which I, for one, could use a great deal of). What are your go-tos for taking away the blues? Honestly that tag is perfect because it sucks you right into the story and you stop thinking about all the other horseshit going on, I've actually used it recently myself. I'm sure this will be a list of people's favorite matches or stuff they watched when they were a kid, but who cares, shoot.

In addition to those last three records I've now got THESE coming from my old buddy Mike (Zuul/High Spirits). Fucking pay day makes me splurge every time Spoilered for badly painted nudity and Satanic sacrifice

Fuck finishes almost straight across the board! Good old WWF. It's crazy to see how long their affiliation with USA Network has gone back, btw. Andre's crutches must've been cut-down telephone poles or something.

Tomorrow we wake up to Patrick Duffy in the shower, right?

I thought the Eli thing was interesting last week when they battered that guy and made him read off their statement. That made him interesting and dangerous-looking. This week, him just sitting there looking annoyed while Tyrus talked for him made him look like a goofball. I had missed the Braxton thing, I was getting a little skip-happy with the remote by that point. The whole Maria not running the KO division but having people working for her in the KO division angle makes no sense. Plus, they pretty much fumbled the Allie turns on Maria angle that had NUCLEAR heat in November, only to do a series of Allie sorta turning but not really turning on Maria moments that now the crowd is much less interested.

No one is supposed to mention Haku, unless it's in total reverence. And no, the restraining order wouldn't stop him. The most important question is, did your Valiant diorama have a glass bottom?

I'm sorry but until all your paperwork is in we cannot properly vet your candidacy. We are still missing: 1) Your essay on Bunkhouse Buck 2) Your Jimmy Valiant diorama 3) Your haiku on Haku.

Ogre's cohort=

Teams I would not like to see go 19-0: New England New England Seattle New England New England The Giants used to be on this list, purely for gambling purposes, but since Eli beat Brady for two Super Bowls, they are no longer on the fuck you list.

Omega debuts in a team with Kassius Ohno: Omega Moo. They feud with Braun Strowman (Ogre) and whoever on the roster reminds the writers of Stan Gable for 9 months. Best booking on this board ever that did not involve the Monster Meng and the Stud Stable.

I would like to send "the cup of stfu" to all comic book lovers. Boom. How does that feel, nerds?

I am with Technico. If a team I did not have a strong dislike for went perfect, that would be okay, and something pretty cool to see. However, the fucking Patriots doing it means I would have to punch a bunch of shit-talking bandwagon fans in the face, and serve a lot of jail time. So they better not be the next team to go perfect.

You won't be a real member until you do

Welcome aboard, man. This is where "men of a certain age" discuss wrestling, movies, comics, and the various other pursuits that keep us wrinkly man-babies. How do you feel about missile dropkicks? How about Davey Richards?

Don't listen to him, he's just jealous I have better opinions than he does.

Subtlety!

It's just minutes away too! Think of the tailgates! The Bills fans are jumping through tables and doing other...lewd...acts in their tailgates when there's a donkey show at the Chargers tailgate.

I can't be the only person who thinks, fuck you Miguel, whenever he's on screen can I? Obviously we don't know the whole deal yet, but, fuck that guy.

"I can't believe I was so close to Michael Jackson!" - Random drunk fan.

Backlund told him not to sign autographs for children unless they can recite that injury verbatim.

Based on Buffy lore, there's a Hellmouth in Cleveland. Try there.

Faendal was the better choice since also is a trainer JT plays these games like no other so take his shoot first, shoot last, shoot everything and then steal strategy with a grain of salt

We can't go any further without this.
