It's weird that everyone is shitting on Nia now for being frustrated, but no one was shitting on her three weeks ago for her terrible mic work and the fact that despite being three times the size of all of her opponents, none of her offense looked like it hurt all that badly. She never should have been called up, let alone pushed.

I am amused that Lawlor's "sponsors" on his trunks are Durex Condoms and Pampers.

Because of weed?

But to put it another way: he held up WWE for more money; used WCW/Russo to raise his profile; used said profile to start his own company with a flawed business plan; was able to sell said company to Panda Energy while still retaining some stakes and being booked at the main event level most of his run; sold his shares in the company while they were still worth something; starts a wrestling company without TV; gets brought back into the company he sold where one of his first acts is to merge it with his worthless company and use the entire summer/fall to advertise said company; gets dumped by Anthem but retains his company which he can sell to outlets as having run on TV during the summer of 2017. I mean, that's a pretty succesful financial run for someone in the wrestling industry.

That reminded me of Triple H's response to JR asking him if he was bilingual after watching Chyna speaking Spanish with the Spanish announcers during King of the Ring 1998. JR--You're not bilingual? HHH--There's a lot of bi things I am but lingual isn't one of them (looooooong pause). Hey wait a minute, did I just mean to say that? JR--I don't think you did but be that as it may, we're live.

lol

Milwaukee really is the best:

I hate you so much

I had a meeting at Georgetown yesterday and due to google maps, ended up accidentally finding and walking up the Exorcist Steps.

Am i doing it right?

This isn't true any longer.

Randall almost pulled a Stefon there.

Yeah, Wrestling as ...

Best feud in the fed

IMAGINE THAT THIS COMMERCIAL IS ABOUT SUPER MARIO ODYSSEY INSTEAD OF MARIO 3 THIS IS HOW I FEEL SO HYPE NOW MARIO MARIO MARIO *ahem* Can't wait to go pick up my physical copy at 9PM release in five hours.

I thought The Giant started out pretty good in WCW, then got unmotivated, and then eventually in WWE became actually good.

"Shhhheeeeeeeiiiiitttttt, I am Clay Davis; you should be paying me!"

You think she's being misused? Whatta stupid mark.

Like this one Tommy Rich and Ricky Morton vs Ric Flair and Barry Windham - WCW Worldwide 4/6/91

The Bucks are having a throwback game at the Mecca tonight and the court is dope as shit:

You can get the Thesz bio on Kindle now.

Alright guys, let's stop talking about Janet Jackson being banned from everything for 13 years and start talking about how it is a crime that we don't get to hear these songs on the radio any more. Janet Jackson is legendary. Control sold 10 million copies. Rhythm Nation sold 12 million copies. janet. sold 14 million copies and got me through puberty. Don't sleep on how many great songs Janet Jackson has produced over the years. If you have one of "those" playlists and this ain't on it...well you ain't living right

You know why

I love Janet. Sexiest... Video... Ever....

If anyone is interested

Jax has been wrestling for a bit over 2 years. If The Rock had walked after that amount of time put in, his whole Hollywood career never would have happened. Bad advice if that is how things went down .

Watching SAVAGE WEEKEND on Night Flight Plus streaming service. They billed it as an early slasher (1978 and then not released until 1981). Very low budget and very badly made in some basic ways (I've never seen more or more obvious boom mic appearances in any other movie. Not just the mic, but the stand and even an arm in one shot). But also weirdly watchable and kind of intense. Now, if you are looking for a straight-up horror movie like I was, it's not a great choice. The slasher stuff only kicks in in the last 1/2 hour or so although there are a couple of creepy/violent instances before that. But it's really a moody psychological thriller that builds tension through character really effectively. Premise: Some uptight and very neurotic New York political/wall street big shots trying to get away from their troubled lives go off upstate where one of them is having a boat built by a local weirdo who may or may not have murdered someone and branded the flesh of a woman. After a lot of slow but not actually boring (actually kind of sad and realistic) bed hopping and sniping and a few creepy encounters with locals, someone in a mask starts killing people. Why it's great: I was enjoying it at first for how inept it was. But I was gradually pulled in by some amazing performances by some well-kown people. - The local creep (Otis) is played by William Sanderson in his first prominent film or t.v. role. He is magnetic. Yes, it's the same creepy mush-mouth charcter he will go on to play over and over, but when he is onscreen (including a weird prologue where he just stands there and grins) you can't not be entranced by him. LOOK AT HIM!!!! LOOK AT HIM!!!!!!!!! - A tough, smart, but also creepy local farmer/guide is played by David Gale, who you should know as this guy from RE-ANIMATOR. He is fantastic. He plays this part like Quint from JAWS and he comes across as clever, scary, intimidating, but also not crazy or dumb or hillbilly. It's very subtle. He's like a D.H. Lawrence character symbolizing masculinity and it's meant to be a little seductive and a little scary and primal. What's so weird though, is that this was filmed maybe 7 years before RE-ANIMATOR, and here is the old, emaciated decrepit Dr. Hill and he's fucking buff and virile and fucking hot as fuck. CAN YOU EVEN BELIEVE THAT IS THE SAME GUY????? I looked him up and he died at 54 of heart issues, so maybe that's the reason he went from Marlboro man to petrified old creep in a few years. But I didn't recognize him until I looked it up and it was amazing to see how good he is in this. Every bit the scary dude as was in RE-ANIMATOR. - There is a homosexual character who is shockingly well written. He is mean and snarky, yes, but also smart and strong-willed and tough. He beats up some hicks who give him trouble. He's funny. He's not there to be a punch line. In 1978? In a grindhouse slasher? That's kind of amazing. He's played by Charles Allport who went on to be an 80s-90s-00s staple of t.v. and also was prominety in TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A. until he was killed in an avalanche in 2008. A fucking avalanche. W T actual F? - the sex-kitten role is played by Caitlin O'Heaney, who went on to be the final girl in the Tom Hanks movie HE KNOWS YOUR ALONE and then, even more awesomely, the female lead in the show TALES OF THE GOLD MONKEY (which was the far superior Indiana ones ripoff competing with BRING 'EM BACK ALIVE) but which is ruined now because that 7th Heaven creep was the star. And EVEN MORE AWESOMELY she played the SUPER SEXY English teacher in THREE O'CLOCK HIGH. YEaaaaahhhhh. I was in love with her! This was also her first film role, which she took mainly to get her SAG card. - A last bit of trivia: A little kid in the opening scene turns out to be the first appearance of B movie queen Yancy Butler (Lake Placid, Kick Ass, Hard Target, among many others) Those performances alone are worth a watch. They keep this movie chugging along until the slashy chasey parts kick in. If you settle into the pace and expect something more like a hillbilly Giallo, then it is perfectly fine. And it does, in fact, play out as more of a whodunnit than a slasher, especially Allport's death scene which is complete with gloved hand inserting sewing needle into skull. Very Giallo. When the slashy parts do start up they are plenty unsettling and stand up in concept (if not in effects) to any of the other woods-implements slasher monsters out there. The characters they play are weird and have all kinds of fixations, and so instead of this being "crazed hillbillies kill people" movie, it's much more "crazed city folk bring their shit to the country because you can't just leave your shit behind. You are what you are and no pilgrimage is going to fix you if you aren't willing to deal with your shit honestly so leave the country folk out of it and look in the mirror, jerk!" It also has a great theme song called "Upstate man" sample lyrics: "You can't blame upstate folks from getting crazy in the mind, you buy some land and scratch the earth till midnight moonlight makes you blind. You miss one payment on the farm, you watch the bank foreclose, sell it to some city guy who needs help to blow his nose”. This movie is fantastic and terrible and really really fantastic and I give it a full four "William Gale from RE-ANIMATOR gently stroking a cows tit in an act of seduction before smearing fresh milk on his face and licking a lady" out of a possible four. Yes, this happens and it is maybe the greatest moment I've ever seen in film.

And wrestling poster of the year goes to Yuji Hino.

Never had a doubt! What a crazy game. I hate Kenny G. Love Devo, don’t know how much I trust him. I literally love Justin Verlander. i literally love Jose Altuve. But Springer has been my favorite on this Astros team. He’s been my signature all summer, and he finally broke through after struggling the whole Yankees series and 0-4 last night. He deserves it.

No...no...no. That's gold, Global Gold.

I dunno if anyone else watches these, but they’re usually pretty good. Jericho’s should be entertaining.

I had to fire Raquel Welch. That woman is a menace.

The end of this video when she says, "What's my name, boy?" my chest went from completely bare to completely covered in hair. (For the record, I'd call her Miss Jackson, because I'm nasty.)

She's one of my absolute favorites. An amazing singer, dancer, and songwriter. An ally in many LGBT+ causes, including HIV research. And always loved this video.

Write what you know

If y'all don't play Tales from the Borderlands - you are stupid

Same here.

My pantaloons are gone!

Suwama is just one of those guys like Omori, Shiozaki, Goto, Nakajima, couple of others probably - really high class workers who are generally liked by the main fans but can't pop a rating/house for whatever reason. Plus I think it's good to have a bridesmaid/gatekeeper type around when you need someone to have a short reign or put over a future star.

Who in general, make or female, has been handled correctly?

29 years later, Kirk Gibson can finally eat my shorts.

No, that's how you get him to leave town.

Angela Bassett is nearly 60 and apparently a vampire. Goddamn. Oh and the movie looks awesome, too!

WCWSN wasnt a C show...but this is an old gem I've never seen...Arn Anderson and Barry Windham go 2/3 falls for the WCW tv title
