I'm pretty sure Ziggler's stand up career died a mega death before it ever got started.

I went down the rabbit hole of watching insane Scott Steiner promos on Youtube today and three different promos KILLED me. -When he dropped "Veni Vidi..Vucci" and you can hear one of the WCW announcers go "What?" with a slight laugh. You just know someone taught him that phrase, or he heard it somewhere and figured he had it down then just goes out and...Steiners it. -When he said to Mean Gene, talking about his freaks again "And they know they don't have to wait for the Earth to roate on a 47 degree axis so the stars can touch the sky and create an equilax so they can see the Big Dipper, no no no. All they gotta do is call Big Poppa cuz I'm the man with the big dipper and satisfaction's coming when I go behind and do the bump and grind and it's only a matter of time before they call me the Big Bad Booty Daddy." Mean Gene's face during this, especially when he says "equilax" is AMAZING. -When he said "Well you see I come from a highly-educated university so when I come out here and see these white trash, I gotta dumb myself down but apparently that wasn't stupid enough for Christian Cage. See, everybody knows American white trash is up here and then Canadian white trash is way down here. So Christian Cage I've got a question for ya: what is it like roaming Earth the lowest form of homio sapiens there is!?" If you've got 20 minutes, it's worth a watch. You can see him call Ric Flair a "buttfucker", among other things.

How was Scott Steiner able to hide his insanity for all those years? How were we led to believe Rick was the crazy one? Was it the combination of roids and hair bleach that finally let the madman out of Scott Steiner?

How have I never seen this before?! I love it - Bobby taking crazy bumps even on Double Dare.

For a second, I though that really was Dave in the black and was very confused. FYI: it's George Weingeroff

This gets me choked up as fuck and gets the water works going.

Thesz, Funk, Brisco, Flair.... Storm? is the new Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle... Costanza?

I age like flat beer.

Good picture of what that game looked like to someone color blind

After that Scott Steiner video in the other thread, I totally read that "sentence" in his voice.

The only thing that could have topped it is if Monsoon had left the broadcast table and saved Heenan from a beatdown. The crowd would have lost it for that.

I can't believe that nobody has posted this yet...

Not sure of the reasoning why the suddenly did this but the WWE put this up on their Youtube channel today

Here's an idea I actually like. A foreign heel who gets booed because he sucks at wrestling and is a cheater, but he blames it on being a foreigner and racism. He then meets another foreign wrestler who gets cheered, and his fucked up brain can't comprehend it so he tells the face that all the white people secretly hate him. He even takes it a step further and resorts to racist jabs revealing his own hypocrisy. It's like it's ripped from the headlines with every oppressed people battling each other over who is getting screwed most. I think that's kinda great, especially when the face is of the same race I am and the fans react by calling the heel out instead of chanting USA USA USA, which is usually the case. Do I think that's what they were thinking when they wrote it? Who knows. Sometimes they're Shakespeare and sometimes they're the million chimps with a million typewriters accidentally writing Hamlet. Either way they don't know how to handle these things well enough to satisfy anyone in the long run, so it probably would have been better if they left it alone. Part of me likes to think that Jinder did it on his own. Like he was listening to Steve Austin's podcast(he's already got the upperbody business part down) and he was like "Yeah I need to take more risks and just ask forgiveness later." And his big idea to get heat was slipping "rook" in.

Half full is fine. If it were half empty they'd have a problem.

When I was still plying GTA online on the PS3 (but the rest of the crew had jumped up a generation) I used to leave my headset sitting on my laptop while that video was playing. So everyone in the lobby had to hear it.

If I recall, Heenan went to WCW so he could live closer to his daughter. I don't recall the exact circumstances, though. Speaking of WCW, I think Heenan's work is underrated. Here he is on Worldwide laughing his ass off at Jim Duggan.

One of many Felix Leiters.

Y'all know there were other shows on during the 90s, right?

Well, here's one for you: In about a month, I am leaving Florida in order to take a job offer in, of all places, Paducah, Ky. I am not shameless enough to post my GFM link right here right now, but I probably will shortly or at least point the board over to @jdmann, where I've been having fun putting my cut-out head onto Kentucky iconography. Case in point: https://photos.app.goo.gl/lhu1lUVFTuXYBsdJ2

I was coming in here to post that this movie wasn't meant to be an "erotic" film, but then I remembered I've only seen Antichrist out of the Depression Trilogy. So, uh... yeah, that movie was really fucking weird.

Nakamura has A) Been given a good record with some strong wins; B) Written to frequently act like a doofus and cut too many long promos; C) Lazed about too much regardless. All of these can be true at once. There's more to good booking than compiling a sterling record.

I got the survey and the thing that terrified me the most was a rating system

This is a work of art. Beautiful, brutal art.

Make America Burn Again.

I loved him and Perfect crowing, "we're not the type of guys to say we told ya so but.....WE TOLD YA SO!"

That means 9 months of Enzo getting his ass kicked so I can support that booking strategy

Used to watch Bobby manage at the Winnipeg Arena when I was really young, with my dad and my grandfather. My parents divorced when I was young, so our monthly trip on a weeknight to see the wrestling was a special occasion. After Bobby jumped to the WWF, my grandfather became less interested in going to the shows, so it ended up being just me and my dad, until the WWF started coming on a regular basis, and Bobby was back in town. Grandpa HAD to come back to yell and scream at Bobby. Our "gang" was back together, at least a couple of times a year to watch the wrestling. My grandfather passed away over 10 years ago. The three of us had not been to a wrestling event together for at least 25 years, but my dad still called me today to ask if I had heard the news, and we talked for 15 minutes about all of our memories going to cheer against Bobby all of those years. RIP Bobby. Greatest manager and greatest broadcast journalist the business has ever seen.

Back around 2005, Bobby appeared on this ROH show I went to at the Rexplex in North Jersey. Before the show, he was taking pictures with fans for ten bucks a Polaroid. Of course I was on that shit in a heartbeat. When I handed the photo guy a twenty and he gave me my change, the twenty fell on the floor and he didn't see it. I said, "Hey man, you dropped that twenty." Bobby puts his arm around me for the pose and says to me, "You're not originally from New Jersey, are you?" I say, "No." He says, "I know, cause if you were you woulda kept that twenty." And then the pic was taken. Rest in peace to the greatest of all time.

I do not know why I am going to watch this Thursday Night spectacular. I have no explanation, no excuse.

Just accepted the two pending clan requests I am hoping that we can hit Level 2 before the reset

the thing is a shoot-style promotion could in theory be the safest if everyone knows how to roll and throw safe strikes. you'd have to have great cardio but you could reduce the bump load exponentially and still have classic matches.

Just finished season 1 and I loved it as well. Took me an episode or two to get into it, as I was expecting more of a Snuff Box style show, but found myself really digging it by the end. Absolutely love the voice over bits. "I CAN HEAR YOU, CLEM FANDANGO!" Steven Toast should be such an unlikeable ass, but he's also so easy to root for.

Oh I'm way ahead of you on that stuff. Grim Tools has updated the last two days so you have a sneak peak at the two upcoming expansion classes which is a sneaky great piece of marketing hype.

Long day at work. Yes. Homecoming. Fuck Amazing Spider-Man.

As Damon Lindelof succinctly put it, "Once you spend over $100 million on a movie, you have to save the world."

Brain: "Do you know what Koko B. Ware's mom's name is?" Gorilla: "What?" Brain: "Tupper" (KoKo-B-Ware enters the ring with this wild new hairdo; stripes running front to back dyed in parakeet colors. You can almost hear the gears start to turn in Heenan's head.) Brain: Do you know what KoKo calls his new hair style? Gorilla: (With a groan) No. What? Brain: Afroturf.

So on the one hand I get the idea that Jinder is a hypocrite for complaining about jingoistic Americans booing him and then he turns around and makes racist remarks about Nakamura. And I understand he's a heel, and I understand the history of racist gimmicks in pro wrestling. On the other hand, as an Asian dude in America I have to deal with low key racism on an almost daily basis and sometimes I just want to drink a beer and watch some grappling and not think about that stuff and I'm really sick of this shit showing up in my wresting when I just want to chill out after work. So fuck this company.

Also - according to Meltzer - they recorded a bunch of interviews at RAW yesterday that they are going to use in a Heenan documentary on the Network

That's what ...

If I was a wrestler I'd totally wear my own shit out in public. Hell, I have a t-shirt with my face on it that I wear frequently. I also have a t-shirt of me wearing a t-shirt of me.
