If only Lio had tweeted THAT as a response, this whole thing would have blown over by now.

Lio Rush was being unprofessional, sure, but people like Jack Gallagher, Bray Wyatt, etc were as well and they should probably read this tweet.

He had to. Wasn't played in Japan.

"I was drunk, I don't remember what happened, and by the way, I'm gay" is a deflection, not an apology, no matter how elegantly Kevin Spacey's PR team wrote it.

We are watching Baseball turn into Indie Wrestling before our eyes.

Piledriver from the apron through the flaming table! TWO COUNT!

Not for nothin but it's also how Jack Tripper would try to get out of being caught fondling Mr Furley's niece.

Nice job giving the "gay = pedo" crowd some ammo, Spacey.

If MAD DOG Marty Sugar nonchalantly supporting canine consumption isn't the mother of all heel turns, I don't know what is.

*clap clap clapclapclap*

It does feel pretty gross that Spacey stayed closeted during the whole debate over gay civil rights but comes out and drapes himself in the rainbow flag to deflect from the assault allegations. I hope Bryan Singer's predatory ass is next.

At the very least his ass has to be hiptossed onto the field.

Great World Series or Greatest World Series?

Because Roman needs a moment or something...

In the meantime Punishment Martinez could use a mouthpiece in ROH.

I maintain that the 3rd-worst thing that Cosby did was take a bunch of royalty checks out of Phylicia Rashad's wallet.

I feel like we need to engage with this somehow. So primarily, it's a matter of scale. The Rock was the biggest moneymaking movie star in the world last year. I read that, right? It's one thing to be a guy who is primarily typecast as an action star and makes good money and has constant work. It's another thing to be the most successful star in the world. For one thing, Rocky has his own production shop and produces TV shows and movies. He's successful enough that he can pick any role he wants, pretty much. He's successful enough that he can probably put together a bunch of Oscar winning talent, star-wise and creative-wise, either cover the bills himself or get some studio to go in with him, and do any sort of drama he wanted. In 2017, the Rock transcends being a star. Meanwhile, Cena's voicing a cartoon bull.

The Rock apparently subscribes to the Michael Caine philosophy of picking roles.

GUACAMELEE 2 FTW

Vince, line 1 for Kitamura...

Nightmare Castle (1965) I have had a copy of this forever, so this gave me a good reason to check it out. My gratitude to the person who chose it, because it was a really good movie. This was about as Bava as you can probably get without Bava involved. This was like an Italian Corman Poe flick, as it incorporated minor elements of "The Tell-Tale Heart," but was far and away enough of it's own thing to be enjoyed away from those merits. The synopsis: Wife cheats on husband, husband exact lethal revenge, then marries the wife's mentally unhinged twin sister because he wants their family castle. Husband and housekeeper (who goes from unconvincing aging makeup to sweet piece of femme fatale ass after the wife's death) collide to drive the twin wife insane ... but some eerie shit is going on in this castle. But the storyline is straight up traditional Gothic fare, and all is well and good. What really gets the asses in the seats is Barbara Steele. She plays a dual role, the murdered wife and the twin sister, and her acting is pretty amazing. As this film not only deals with a supernatural twin plot, but nightmare sequences as well, there are some demanding scenarios that Steele has to perform with precision, or the whole joint could be more hokey than haunting. Some questionable dialogue aside, this film was about as note-perfect an Italian horror classic as you're likely to find. I really, really liked this film.

FTFY. I'm now your campaign manager.

Meat is meat...

Fuck that shit. This is the full Meltzer ******

Luckily for everyone, Rock and Austin had a much better match at Backlash the next show.

And the flippy spotfest ends with a little psychology, as the pinch runner pays off. No way McCann can score on that.

If you havve a friedn who wears sunglasses on top of a baseball cap bill you are not friending correctly.

Very possible I'd go to jail if that was me.

Seriously, this is fucking video game cheat code game genie garbage right here.

Holy shit. I can't fucking take games like this.

Emma/Santino vs. Summer/Fandango is on the short list of best NXT matches and an all-time great comedy wrestling match. It was set up by a really great Emma/Summer dance-off angle. Emma came up and was paired with Santino solely based off of that match.. Emma is a pretty fun act. I always liked watching her matches. She's not as good as The Four Horsewomen, but she and Paige brought the house down and really put women's wrestling on the map in NXT and had a funny character. Summer Rae was really misused. Great character work.

......this game. Goddamn...

Like Rock's? Probably not. A solid career based on both supporting and starring roles? Already there.

The difference is one guy is taking a photo with his gf who works in another organization and another is taking one during an event that was clearly designed to (and succeeded) piss the WWE off. If Zack showed up at a TNA taping to support his gf, I'd expect the same treatment. It's not a WWE thing, that's the workplace culture. People in the crosshairs get fired all the time for stuff that doesn't seem THAT bad. And people who are toeing the company line and not making trouble get slaps on the wrist. Pretty sure we'll know which side Rush is on real quick.

Darren Young is free now.

Also, The Bye Bye Man has a fan page and they shared my review...even though my review reads: Favorite movie this year was a toss-up between Honeymoon and XX (which is a great 4-part anthology film), with The Babysitter very close behind. 13 Demons was the only movie I actively hated myself for watching through to the end, as it was just so poorly written.

Emma the evil cooking host would have been fab.

Meanwhile, on the other side of things, this was really nice.

Obvious statement: I've completely dropped the ball this year, for all kinds of reasons. But I'm away from the device that I have everything stored on and will be until after Halloween. So if you have your review saved and I haven't posted it, feel free in the next few days. I'm really sorry guys, just stuff happened.

Shame this will never make it on tv.

Despite his untimely death, you have to hand it to Curtis for his impeccable wrestling heel logic: "You put him in the back of a garbage truck. He's never coming back!"

This scene will still be okay though:

Remember that time when New Japan sent Nakamura to Orland to promote his upcoming title defense against Kurt Angle and TNA put him in a match with Elix Skipper on Xplosion?

You got the wrong Chelsea. The one dating Ryder is Impact!'s Laurel Van Ness.

My wife would be the one going to jail if someone pulled that shit on her.

Glad to hear it, hoping to talk my wife into going and taking our nine year old to see it the week of Thanksgiving. Would be the first MCU movie I've seen in a theater since we saw Avengers: Age of Ultron at the drive-in.

In taxi going to Thor: Ragnarok!
