I'm pretty stoned and searched Vince gifs on google

Sonny Onoo just showed up at Reality of Wrestling.

Vince, greatest ECW world champion.

Roman the Iron Spider

"WOOOO! Let me tell you Steamboat, the only five star match you ever had was with me and it's because WOOO I carried you to it." *ahem* yeah...

It's just too much to ask a team to overcome both the Pats and the refs.

After the awfulness that was that second half, do you even bother keeping Sark?

Arthur Blank should never come down to the sideline again.

He wasn't. But he possibly contributed to them misleading Michelle Williams in believing he did for free (minutes per diem) when they asked her to do it for free. He is certainly guilty of not correcting the record after this was reported, until she found out more than a month after the fact.

Dammit. They never paid off months of teasing their eventual split.

Someone call Virgil

Dear TNA: SIGN SUGAR DUNKERTON.

If anything screams Stupid Indie Fucking Marks, it's incessantly getting new belts instead of spending money on shit that matters. Like talent.

Considering my kids won't do the effen dishes and I'm always having to, I would say a LOT. Look at these hands! Any man with two dish-pan hands has a chance...

I have done rando Vince gif searches on numerous occasions and each time it is a fully rewarding experience. Don't like the man, don't like his idea of russling, but what a fucking character.

Strangely I have a soft spot for that due to playing Smackdown HCTP endlessly... *considers buying a PS2 just to play it again

What did dishwater ever do to you??

There is only one Green Lantern and he's not on your list. Shame!

I have no idea what anyone has been talking about for the past two pages, and though this isn't the gif thread...

"Mr. Bob Backlund runs in after a refreshing dip in the pool at his hotel, where he did enough laps to prepare him for combat in the squared circle."

John Cena needs to comment on whatever the fuck is going on with his hair

New Year. New Topic required. First RAW of the year started well with Roman Reigns vs. Samoa Joe and Alexa Bliss vs. Asuka.

See the USA Today article from December 20th that claims he did for free as well.

DeAndre Jordan is in his 10th season and is missing his first game due to injury tonight. That's totally bonkers for a guy his size.

I just finished writing the afterword to Volume #5 of The Complete Short Stories of R.A. Lafferty (The Man who Walked Through Cracks), so we're that close to Volume #6 which will be introduced by none other than Neil Gaiman... I can't wait to see what he comes up with... The last time we worked together was Shadows over Baker Street and Neil ended up getting the Hugo award for his story in the book. I'm really stoked to see what Neil has to say about Lafferty, a situation of perhaps the most interesting and unique talent of our generation commenting on the most interesting and unique storyteller of the previous generation.

That flick of the eyebrow at 2:14 is some of the greatest wresting I've ever seen.

They used much older tapes of Roode for awhile after he was gone and the commentary just danced around that he was already in NXT.

I'm really glad they are getting new belts because the GFW ones were bad in the first place and then they slapped that logo plate over the middle rendering them even dumber and now incoherent.

Oh goody - back to running a work breakup angle between a shoot married couple That always goes well

WALK LIKE A PANTHER

Basically the Full Monty but with British wrestling. Has the distinct possibility of being unwatchable.

This. In my experience (mostly with literary agents but some with more general intellectual property types), the vast majority of agents are as useless as breasts on a boar hog. They exist to siphon off their 15% and pretty much just process contracts and rubber stamp them. The idea that an agent is fighting tooth and nail for every dime that they can get you is an absurdity, my literary agent met with me once a year and did absolutely nothing, I made the deals, I did all the negotiations and she got 15%. In my experience on the other side of the desk (as the purchaser), I'm like 98 out of 100 in successfully negotiating deals with writers, when an agent has been involved (other than Johm Betancourt, Jane Judd, and Richard Curtis, the deals never happened because of the agents involved dinking around and being unable to DO anything.) I know that there are asshats and idiots in all fields of endeavor, but damn, the field of representation just draws the inept and incompetent like shit draws flies. I don't doubt for a second that an actor of Michelle Williams stature still manages to have a lazy or incompetent agent, she's in that odd space where she's famous enough that 99% of the time a studio or exec producer isn't going to try and screw with her. So her already lazy agent gets even lazier; then the unthinkable happens.... That 1% where someone decides to play "let's see if anyone's watching" comes up and what happens? Ms. Williams isn't going to review her contract closely, she's not an attorney or personal representative, she trusts her agent to do that stuff. Hell, due to my work acquiring rights to do stuff, I have a lot more legal training than most writers and I don't read the entirety of my contracts, I look for specific things where a publisher is likely to try and sneak some shit past me, but read all thirty or forty pages? Not doing it as except for the aforementioned areas where someone might try and get cute, there's no reason to. So anyway, you have an actor who isn't trained nor has the time to review contracts and is famous enough that 99% of the people in the biz aren't going to try and mess with her and a lazy or incompetent agent that counts on always dealing with that 99%. When the 1% comes along, Ms. Williams gets screwed. Why doesn't this happen to Mr. Wahlberg? Well, you can only imagine what a delight he must be to deal with in person...;-) His agent probably has the sme sort of instructions that mine did... Unless I present the deal, whatever they offer, go back and ask for 1.5 x that amount. Asking for double will seem like a kneejerk reaction and get an automatic "no". Asking for 1.5 x the offer will appear that we want to do business, we're just looking for a best possible offer. What about the 99% rule? It still applies to Wahlberg, but the percentage is higher, probably 999%.

Whew I bet Vicki misses her cocoon, Sean plays for keeps.

Because Flair can actually talk.

Don't make me try to find a dozen other panels showing off how dumb Hal Jordan is. This is hardly the place anyhow.

"WELL Y'KNOW SOMETHIN MEAN GENE! When Dave Meltzer gave me and Andre a -4 star rating and called it the worst worked match of the year, it really rattled my cage brother. Despite selling out the Pontiac Silverdome, despite 93,173 Hulkamaniacs feeling me slam the giant as the tremors rattled the rafters brother, I've got to wonder - what do I have to do to appeal to the Meltzer-maniacs? So let me tell you Mean Gene, from this day forward, I'm gonna make it my aim to get a six star match out of anyone who wants to challenge me for the belt brother." I could do these all day.

Trent Barreta has a new shirt celebrating his graduation to the heavyweight division in NJPW.

Kyle is the best. Period.

Them's fighting words. We gave you Hal back. Don't blame us for him being still so uninteresting that he needs EVERY other GL in his book to keep it going.

Fuck Kyle Rayner.

Never expected I'd think Dave underrated a Wrestle Kingdom main event--at least relative to the other stuff on the card--but here we are. I'm neutral on Okada's pants, but can see subtraction for his weak cobra clutch, which was used often enough to be kinda distracting. Still, I'd have it just ahead of Goto/Suzuki and HANDSOME BATTLE for MOTN.
