I threw a bottle at the guy from Hoobastank once in high school. People make mistakes, maybe it was a kid or something. I very seriously doubt it was a "Me and Don Kernodle were almost murdered in Greensboro" situation Settle down Hollyw.. oh, double post

From The Great Kabuki's recent retirement match

I started a 3 week vacation yesterday - you fuckers are gonna make me find my disc aren’t you? Maybe I can finally get my character to Level 120

Stop being such a Hunger Dog, Fowler.

We found a way to take one down tonight. Land a second one on top of it in mid flight, and let loose the cluster bombs. I don't think the guys we did it to though it was nearly as funny as we did.

As per WWE’s e-mail Mid-Atlantic Championship Wresting is coming to The Network in January

This is the most Melraz idea I've ever heard.

Football at its highest level is not that interesting right now, what makes him think that this minor league nonsense would be interesting? Does he think he's going to get quality players? Is he going to ignore all the concussion stuff? Does he believe that people actually stopped watching football because of protests they rarely show on TV? Does he think that a bunch of players are going to line up to get paid less and have less freedom? He's going to have a league full of bad football players, who won't make much money, getting debilitating injuries, but I guess they'll stand for the anthem. He's going to lose so much money.

loneliness + alienation + fear + despair + self-worth ÷ mockery ÷ condemnation ÷ misunderstanding x guilt x shame x failure x judgment n=y where y=hope and n=folly, love=lies, life=death, self=dark side

god, Enzo is great. Fuck the haters.

That's a funny way of spelling John de Lancie

I don't think Luke gave up, I think he truly believed that the Jedi needed to end because they got it wrong. He felt that in the long run his going away to die would be beneficial for future generations.

Maybe there’s a reason so many of his babyfaces are really dicks.

This needs to be Raw's top babyface:

If there was ever a time to turn him heel, that was it. He had nuclear heat though with the post-WM crowd that was to be expected. And it wouldn't have taken much to turn him, but instead they had the Braun feud (which I ended up loving anyway)

LOL. Taunt. Sami. Taunt.

I wouldn't worry too much about that RT audience score. At this point, I think it's clearly being spammed by obsessives who are mad that a CGI cartoon character didn't have his background sufficiently explored and other pedantic shit. Which makes me wonder: Do you think audiences in 1983 were mad because the Emperor got killed off without explaining who he was or where he came from? He didn't even have a name in those movies! He was just the generic evil space wizard that ruled the Empire. And sometimes that's okay!

Someone needs to smarten his wife up about kayfabe. It's Hoobastank. No jury in the world would convict you.

Throwing a bottle at someone because you’re young and dumb isn’t really a mistake. It’s you being young and dumb and doing something stupid. It’s not like you or this kid, if it was a kid, didn’t know better than to throw a bottle at someone.

I am not a big fan of the whole "back in the day" notions about wrestling, but this is a time I wouldn't mind seeing security just leave the clown who threw the bottle in a back room with some of the boys for a little "talk".

I read somewhere that it started pre-Baba/Inoki split from JPW as a means for a sponsor to get behind a wrestler and have their name appear just before match. For whatever reason the gimmick followed Baba to All Japan but not Inoki in New Japan. You can sort of see how this would also happen in NOAH as well, following Misawa.

The new heist is huge. Pays good too. worth a return to lps santos. And 3 week vacation. Shiiiiit!!!!!!!

I am shocked -- SHOCKED -- that nobody's brought up Ken the Box or any of Survival Tobita's other opponents yet

I hope that's hyperbole because nothing is as bad as Phantom Menace.

I have missed GTA!!!! Oh and it's snowing in los santos.

this might be Trump's idea- he's had a long vendetta against the NFL, and he's convinced Vince that there's a crowd of NFL-haters looking for an alternative.

The wife's former company got tickets for everyone (and a guest) to see Wicked at the Landmark theater in Syracuse back in March, which was actually the first play that either of us had ever seen (outside of things like school field trips, or school plays). I spent the second act going nuts, because I recognized the guy who played Fiyero, and couldn't place it. On the drive home it hits me, it's Dr. Rhodes on Chicago Med!

I have said it before in other threads, but kayfabe died for me when I found out Manaukea Mossman was just some dude, and NOT a guy doing a Moss Man gimmick.

Flair Flop. Woooooo!

Don't turn him heel or anything though

From interviews by Mark Hamill, I don't think he's happy with the direction Luke Skywalker takes in Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Still cracks me up:

BTW, regarding Luke from Rian's own words: http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/12/20/star-wars-the-last-jedi-director-on-luke-skywalkers-greatest-temptation-to-the-dark-side\ I'm not sure why people are hard pressed to accept that Luke could be tempted.

My favorite thing about the Mary Sue criticism—aside from the fact that it serves as a warning sign for what I’m about to read—is that the term still carries its origins in self-insert fanfic. So we are to assume, I suppose, that Rian sees an idealized version of himself or an opportunity for wish fulfillment in Rey, and perhaps harbors some secret longing for psychosexually charged finger brushes with Kylo Ren. And I mean... same dude, same. It’s just a useless term at this point; and even if it had utility, it wouldn’t apply to Rey. She’s the lead protagonist of a tentpole space opera. Of course she’s supernaturally capable, but not in a way that breaks the lore. (As everyone else mentioned.)

I'm envisioning a Kickstarter page for the First Order: Star Killer - Basically a Huge Death Star: Help Us Own The Libtards with Awesome Weapon! Pledge $3000 or More Become Official Knight of Ren Remember: It's OK to be knight!

So, the fact that the high rollers at Canto Bight were all arms dealers got me wondering: how does the First Order afford all its snazzy equipment? I mean, presumably the Empire could just spend US-level amounts of its GDP on armaments, but I thought that the First Order were like the Tea Party or something. Star Destroyers can't be cheap. Maybe Snoke shouldn't have been a Sith lord but a Koch Brothers-like donor to the cause who is grooming the next legit political entity. Yeah. So, like, back around First Hope he'd have been like "Hey, Palpatine, Death Stars don't grow on trees. You want more funding I'm gonna need that tax cut for the mega wealthy you promised me."

Vince would never give the fans such a wonderful Christmas present.

The best part of Star Wars is definitely the obstreperous dorks telling you you're enjoying it the wrong way. I am genuinely curious if they had a bigger plan for Phasma originally or if they just thought "You know what would be cool? A shiny stormtrooper" and figuring they'd fill the rest in later.

I think if James Bond can show up in a helmet and get owned by a member of the Resistance, they can get about anyone to do it.

I loved this movie. THIS is what I wanted out of Star Wars when they decided to let new filmmakers play in Lucas's sandbox. Don't just feed me the same shit in slightly different form. Let someone with a fresh perspective come in, tell a story in their unique voice, and maybe even subvert or change our expectations of what a SW movie is. And, you know, if that takes us down a planet's hairy butthole for a trippy mirror sequence of indeterminate purpose or on a wild goose chase through a lost sequence from the Prequel Trilogy, so be it, because the sum is infinitely greater than it's parts. I'm just generally a great fan of any genre story where they find a more clever and substantive way to resolve the plot beyond the hero proving he's the fastest gun in the west, or his kung fu is the best, or he can punch the bad guy into the sun, or win a laser sword duel. The characters reveal so much more of themselves when it's more than a matter of who can be the most effectively violent. I love that Johnson turned his nose up at the easy catharis of Luke showing up and mopping the floor with the First Order in favor of a more passive show of power that ultimately proved to be just as great a sacrifice as any glorious death on the battle field. If TFA was a fairly rote retelling of the hero's journey, then TLJ is about redefining what it means to be a hero in the SW universe. "We don't win by killing what we hate, but by protecting what we love" is a powerful thesis statement for this series going forward, and I hope JJ Abrams abides by that line of thinking when he takes up the reins for Ep. IX.

Annual reminder that Bossman in Japan was the shit, and that Stan Hansen was always rad.

Surprised these haven't shown up till now: The Miz cuts the promo of the year. Kevin Owens' squashes Seth Rollins, Mick Foley has to step in.
