For proper size reference, those are just normal-sized lamp chops they're holding...

I tried to get a buyer.

Man, the Tunney's ain't going to allow no outlaw outfit to be running in their backyard.

I hope he sues the fuck out of everyone and wins everything.

Jet Blue has capped the cost of plane tickets out of Florida at $99 Delta.... has not... https://finance.yahoo.com/news/jetblue-caps-ticket-prices-florida-99-ahead-hurricane-irma-173232462.html

The look on Drake Younger's face in the last second of that clip: "Welp, that was some nutshot."

To all the naysayers, I don't think they could have handled the Asuka situation any better. They didn't even bring up her injury to my knowledge. They just said RAW and Smackdown want her and it is time for her to go. She came out of this so much better than if they pulled the "30 day" rule. Now she looks like the woman who "beat" NXT. She's undefeated, held the title longer than any champion since probably Hogan, and now she's leaving because she has nothing left to prove.

Let's put an end to the TNA/Impact/GFW saga for good. Please. Think of all the great retrospective documentaries we can get out of this on WWE Network. Kurt Angle will be like "My whole TNA run was an alcoholic haze. I thought I was demoted to Velocity the whole time."

No, Thomas Rich is the world's worst Tommy Rich.

Let's be clear about something. No matter how you feel about the Patriots there is never a bad time to shit on Roger Goodell.

If they move to Toronto and start hiring, I will do everything in my power to work there so I can answer these kinds of questions.

AND YOU CAN'T TEACH THAT

The last thing I think about when I hear "Kairi Sane" is that goofy jobber on Smackdown or that cringey NXT stable. But maybe that's just me.

That's exactly what I was thinking of. I just really want a weekly wrestling TV show that takes the best parts of good in ring wrestling, different Corgan-era production values and stories, and the charm of stuff like Being the Elite and Southpaw Regional Wrestling.

They could just air Being the Elite as is and probably get a better rating.

The franchise that won 8 championships currently resides in Baltimore anyway.

The only NFL titles that matter before the Super Bowl era are the ones the Packers won because they were always the best team and never actually lost any time in history except to cheating losers. Especially, in the 1970's.

I started work on a symphony. This will be the last time I say anything out loud about it until it's done.

On this episode of The Flintstones..

FTFY

Might be my favorite low blow sell in a long time.

Can "X-Pac heat" please be renamed "Ziggler heat?"

Why was she kissing a toilet seat?

This new celebration rule in the NFL is going a bit too far in the other direction!

That's kinda what Cornette was saying awhile back on one of his podcasts. May as well move to Toronto and run the area since there are a few relatively active indies in the area and Toronto has always been a strong wrestling area

So true, When I trained back in 03-04, I saw a local, well known, rich dude come around, promising to put us on TV, run a 10k seat arena, etc. For a few weeks he would come down to the training centre and hang out with our boss. He came to precisely one show, we drew about 400 in a small sports hall, it looked pretty busy and was a good house for us. Guy stayed over by the merch / concession stand the whole night. I heard he caught wind of how much (or little) the promotion made after everything was paid and he was never seen near a wrestling show again. Smartest money mark I ever saw.

Who's wife and or girlfriend is Derek Fisher going to try to holla at first? Nick Lachey better watch out.

Taguchi Japan has somewhat fluid membership, by New Japan faction standards. "Faces who are otherwise unafiliated", more or less, and basically an excuse for Taguchi to live his soccer dad dreams, in ring. As for Kitamura, he's worth watching, as a pretty consistent highlight of consequence-free undercard tags, along with the other young lions who are mostly, y'know, actually young. He was a decorated amateur wrestler, who signed up with New Japan after (shock!) a PED suspension, so he's 31 already. And not that I advocate that, and all the harm that can come with, but there's something to be said for a huge jacked guy just wrecking people. What can I say?

THE CURRENT WAR Starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Nicholas Hoult, and Michael Shannon This could be amazing.

Being the Elite with production values.

I had heard he put all of his money from the movies into starting his own business and moved to some remote mountain and can't be bothered. It's admirable when the alternative was hustling at cons all over the country between phone calls from Kevin.

There's way more money in a singles match vs Steph than any active wrestler. Casuals who were fans in the attitude era and actually care about Rousey at least know who Steph is.

Dinner theater in Schenectady.

It's clean, I'll test it myself, goddamn it!

I honestly didn't expect tablet mode to replace my 10" tablet completely but it's spent most of the time just plugged in charging. The keys don't stick out that much so while you still notice them if your fingers brush against them, it's not annoying or bothersome. The keys actually are probably slightly lower than the sides of keyboard area so even in landscape mode I find my fingers more resting on top of the keys than pressing down on them. I had to order the Pro but the Plus version(same build, different processor) seems to be pretty common so I'd imagine places like BestBuy probably have a floor model if you want to get an idea for the feel.

Serious question; if TNA/Impact/GFW closes now... will Old Man Carter have to give Dixie a job at Panda? Because if so I can see Panda reps driving a Beagle Boys-sized armored car of cash to buy from Anthem.

Oh she kept it moving along right. The product moved to 3 or 4 different TV channels because of her stupidity

Heath would never risk his career for drugs...he has kids!

Sam Roberts is ok in my book after the whole Nancy Grace thing a few months back on he and Jim Norton's Sirius XM show where he ripped on her for including guys like Owen Hart on her list of mostly drug/wrestler heart attack deaths in the immediate aftermath of Benoit

With Shane's punches, Bryan would be fine,

Hey! If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Vince McMahon, my boss, right here tonight in this ring. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people and I want him brought right here, with a big ribbon on his head, and I want to look him straight in the eye and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is! Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where's the Tylenol?

Donal Logue looks to be portraying Triple H now.

Vince, grateful for a second chance at his life, sings the praises of the spirits and of Gorilla Monsoon. Upon realizing he has been returned to Christmas morning, Vince begins shouting "Merry Christmas!" at the top of his lungs. Genuinely over joyed and bubbling with excitement, Vince barely takes time to dress and dances while he shaves, for unkempt facial hair was still to be considered a sign of weakness of the highest magnitude. In a blur, Vince runs into the street and offers to pay the first boy he meets a huge sum to deliver an array of ketchup and steak wraps to Jim Ross. He meets one of the portly gentlemen who earlier sought charity for the poor and apologizes for his previous rudeness, promising to donate huge amounts of Roman Reigns t-shirts to the poor. He attends Pat Patterson's Christmas party and radiates such heartfelt bliss that the other guests can hardly manage to swallow their shock at his surprising behavior. The following morning, Vince arrives at the office early and assumes a very stern expression when Jim Ross enters eighteen and a half minutes late. Vince, feigning disgust, begins to scold JR, before suddenly announcing his plans to give JR a large raise and assist his troubled family. JR is stunned, but Vince promises to stay true to his word.....pal. As time passes, Vince is as good as his word: He helps the Rosses and becomes a second father to David Benoit who does not die as predicted in the ghost's ominous vision. Many people in Stamford are puzzled by Vince's behavior, but Vince merely laughs off their suspicions and doubts. Vince brings a little of the Christmas spirit into every day, respecting the lessons of Christmas more than any man alive. Lord Alfred Hayes concludes the story by saying that Vince's words and thoughts should be shared by of all of us ... "Promotional consideration has been brought to you by ICOPRO".

If Flair was in better condition, Ric, Cena and Roman as the Ghosts. Taker as marley. hormswoggle as tiny tim.

http://gwhnewsandnotes.blogspot.com/2017/08/nwa-georgia-announces-name-change.html Back when it was announced that Corgan bought it, the NWA Twitter account was Tweeting at Corgan to meet his champions and I thought that was adorable cause there was no way Corgan gave a fuck who the NWA Mid-American Mid-Southern Middleweight Middle-aged Television Tag Team Champions were.

This is still funny.

Fair enough, I guess. I usually am a big fan of less is more style workers, but the problem with Roode to me is he's a man who lives absolutely nowhere in terms of what his style is. He feels like a guy who has to be opportunistic. He's never at any point felt like he was the "better man" in a match he's been in to me. And I mean that in a kayfabe sense, not a general in ring work sense. Roode's problem with me is simply he feels like he's pushed too strong to be a cowardly "not really as good as the top babyfaces, just a really good cheater" type of heel, but his size, mediocre offense, and general... thereness kinda prevents him from being a convincing dominating controlling heel. The big problem with Drew/Roode was simple: At no point did I buy Roode as being a better wrestler then Drew, once more, in kayfabe. All of Roode's strengths, McIntrye does better. He hits harder, he has more power, he's faster. The only thing Roode had on him is cunning, and he didn't do anything in the match that made him come across as being particularly clever. Therefor, it just felt like a pretty standard WWE style main event. By no means bad, but by every definition I can think of, no means great. It was a good match. It also followed a show were everything before it to me was great, so that hurt. I find the Gargano/Almas "convoluted and over blown" talking point as odd. The point of the match was that these were two very good wrestlers who hadn't had much success in singles competition for different reasons. Almas's focus hasn't been where it's needed to be, Johnny was in tag work and dealing with a betrayal from his best friend. It was a "These are what these two guys can do when they are on" style of match. And Almas looked great as a still arrogant but more focused heel, and Gargano is starting to climb to the Zayn/Bayley level of great babyface in NXT. Also, I'll disagree on the shirt thing, because if that went another 3-5 seconds, it would have been eye roll worthy. The point was, Gargano knew what that shirt was, and anyone who was paying attention to it did too, and the split second advantage it gave was exactly what Almas needed. Worked perfectly for me. And I'm someone who really disliked Gargano before his NXT run, but think he's been a revelation as a sympathetic babyface in NXT.

They probably found some of those in a warehouse and figured they needed a way to market them, looking at you boots to asses shirt no one wanted you the first time.
