MLW wrestler Mike Parrow has come out of the closet and is engaged to his boyfriend of 4 years. https://www.gaystarnews.com/article/pro-wrestler-mike-parrow/

Please let there be a cobra popping out of a box Nikki is opening.

You made the comparison, dude.

I am shocked - SHOCKED - that someone from Ohio State is causing all these problems

Somebody actually did a mock up of one for the 2015 Rumble, unfortunately his Vince voice is predictably lacking but his attention to detail on the graphics oozes nerd love And just whets my appetite for a modern rumble with an authentic flashback intro

People think Stephanie spends her spare time admiring her stuffed Lindberg baby and making a coat out of the 102nd dalmation. Why are you surprised? Personally, I think Stephanie gets a lot less grief if she was male.

Now I'm imagining Stephanie screaming ..."The Boss Sasha Banks!... Natalya!... Miss Money in the Bank Carmella!... Winner of the first ever women's Royal Rumble and face of the women's revolution Stephanie McMahon!... Dana Brooke!..."

See you guys are proving my point! Here is Foley talking about it on Austin's podcast what appears a few years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-vSWRNCqFc Basically Foley describes it as "it just got out of hand" Agreed upon number of shots was 5 (Austin must have said that like 3 or 4 times along with saying "This was agreed upon") It seems like over time Foley has accepted he had more of a role in it than just laying it all at the feet of the Rock. (The big part being that Foley should have been moving the spots along from the first shot but it's clear he had a concussion after the first one but Rock was clearly going with what the vet was calling and no one at that time properly having any clue how to work around brain trauma.)

Kenta Kobashi:

Now I want a sequence of portraits for every participant over the old timey Royal Rumble theme while Stephanie McMahon screams every name with maximum excitement. (okay I actually want Vince to do it but I'll allow Stephanie)

I'd much rather watch upper end Luke Harper stuff then Terry Gordy stuff, but I'm weird. Like Harper was probably the best guy in my favorite match of this decade (first SHIELD Wyatts match)

Fuck Chavo for his shitty frog splash alone.

Of course, no election cycle is complete without an appearance by Deez Nuts.

Meanwhile in Alabama.... Doug Jones was officially certified as the winner of the Senate election today. And ol' coot Roy Moore STILL has not conceded. Now, for your enjoyment, a sampling of the write-in votes: BIG GAME JAMES GOES TO WASHINGTON is a movie I'd like to see.

Per Meltz, the Rusev Day shirts have been a HUGE hit and are absolutely flying off the shelves at live events.

It's as if Tony Kozina got a lobotomy and they went through his teeth to do it.

I had never heard of this dude, but goddamn is he a physical specimen! What a fucking moose!! Good for him for being in a place where he feels like he can be exactly who he is and not concern himself too much with people's reactions.

Different one. That was Kurt Angle of Earth-2.

If they had DQs/countouts enforced in multiman matches they that should mean the person DQed/counted out would just be eliminated. To me that's how it should have been from the start, and only when needed they could go without DQ/countout.

Mikaze is so terrible at Madden but otherwise he's a cool dude.

I would love to hear Vince yelling "THE EMPRESS OF TOMORROW... ASUKA!!!!" with the old theme blaring. So, if Ronda is in this and wins it, that take a pretty big crap on the rest of the division. I'm not into that.

That's some Scott Steiner level math right there.

The gif in your signature must be Randy watching a Chavo frog splash.

Same here

Eh, complaining about the arrested development of fans of Star Wars is probably going to be a waste of your time.

It seems like Hamill's, and seemingly many fans, understanding of the character was frozen in time in 1983. Feeling linked to a character is one thing, but assuming a character would not evolve in 35 years is something else. Did Hamill and the upset fans really expect the same heroic Luke Skywalker from over three decades ago to show up and wreck shit on the Empire again? Like he'd just take the lightsaber from Rey and say, "fuck yeah let's roll!" This new film's portrayal is far more realistic, and adult, and I think a lot of people can't deal with that.

As an actor, you are trained to take ownership of a character, to understand who they are, and how they would react to things. Which in a play or stand alone movie is great, the script is your Bible, and you make those decisions based on it. But sequels and TV shows mean you keep getting new scripts. So I imagine it can be a real mindfuck when they write a script that violates how you've developed the character in your own head.

Salvador Guerrero IV was 47 years old

Joe is the best heel right now. The way he fucking told Renee that Ambrose should be glad that he spends his holidays with the ones he loves while giving Renee the shittiest grin ever. Holy shit. Look at this shit. That is some good subtle evil shit right there. Assholes aspire to be like Samoa Joe. I salute Joe. And Kudos for Renee for providing the acting.

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.

To quote my lawyer: "It is so clear they have no queer folks on that graphic design team, otherwise someone would have mentioned the subtextual implications of calling someone a "top" in conjunction with that fist imagery. "

He was always a heel to me.

Remember when you were younger and if a relative bought you socks they were the worst human being that ever lived? I know I'm getting fucking old because I'm half way excited by new socks. That new sock feeling when you first put your feet in them is so fucking good though. ... Fuck, don't hate me, I'm so fucking old. Buy me Scalextric or Subbuteo next year.

I'm just saying that if he came to Long Beach or San Francisco instead of Florida, he'd have had a lot less problem.

We should be so lucky. EDIT: In response to Aiden English's tweet

Eh, Vince knows what to do with acts that get over organically - punish them and break their spirit. It's funny that Breezango seem to be super-over and still can't get on the show consistently unless they're jobbing to the Bludgeon Brothers.

The USO's might be my new favorite commentator's in the WWE. The match was great, but man they had me cracking up with all those snide remarks they were making about everyone in the match. I think you're all looking too deep into this US Title thing with Dolph. They clearly just winged the whole thing together last week. Hell, Bobby probably was gonna win only for Vince at the last second be like "nah, Dolph will" and that just screwed up everything Bobby and Baron could have had rolling into the Rumble. Now, there's something I saw that cracked me up after all the women of Smackdown stood tall against The Riott Squad. Carmella has to be the dumbest MITB winner ever. Charlotte was taken out and it would have been the perfect time to cash in on her. I honestly think they completely forgot about the MITB she has. Aside from having the case, they don't even really acknowledge it outside of the ring introduction.

David Milch once gave a great quote (naturally) on the subject of actors’ opinions on “their” characters. It was something like: ”As soon as you say ‘My character...’ you don’t have to finish that sentence: you’re wrong.”

And of course, the thing Mike failed to say was...

Playstation Plus: Free Games for January 2018 Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, PS4 Batman: The Telltale Series, PS4 Sacred 3, PS3 The Book of Unwritten Tales 2, PS3 Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness, PS Vita (Cross Buy with PS4) Uncanny Valley, PS Vita (Cross Buy with PS4) Starblood Arena, PSVR

It seems to me he was honest. Hamill's regret seems to be more about fans using his words to twist his actual thoughts. He dislikes the direction Luke took, but also could understand why they thought it was necessary and felt Johnson did a good job even if it wasn't where Hamill would have liked to have gone with it.

I need a custom "Vercetti" jersey, like, yesterday.

Pssssh... he’ll be #30 next month.

Apparently, Chavo deleted the tweet. Smart move.

I expected lots of DMs congratulating me on winning the DVDVR FFL paid league for the second straight year but didn't get any Maybe its a board glitch.

Ouch. I'd have been decked so hard...
