I get the reasons people don't want to watch this show, be it the absolutely valid political issues, or feeling like it's going to be nothing matches, or pique that this is being aired and not things like Starrcade, or anger over the feeling that they treated Wrestlemania as a set-up show for this...BUT after seeing everyone go on record as to why they're blowing this show off I'm now rooting for every title to change hands, AJ and Nak to get 45 minutes, Cena and Roman to turn heel and form a faction, the Undertaker to do a 20 minute out of character retirement speech, and like fucking Kenny Omega to win the Rumble.

The Saudi elite being the ones to react to Roman as a face sounds like a plotline from Arrested Development.

He definitely will be there Someone could have warned me that unmasked Rey is now Konnan

I feel so bad for whoever is about to get fucked up

I mentioned what I really wish Drew was doing elsewhere, but if he's gotta be on RAW, I feel like he's a way better choice for a serious push as a big guy than Corbin. I don't even dislike Corbin, but Drew is nearly the same size, about a year younger, has a way better body, better look, is a better promo, and a significantly better wrestler.

If he were paying tribute to Phil Collins, he'd know that there's No Jacket Required.

They'll have to restrain Vince during the prayer break, lest he perform a hilarious~! bit where he challenges Allah to a match.

Viktor, Connor: You've got 30 seconds to riff on KFC chicken. And you're live in 5...4...3...GO! 22 seconds later a series of cue cards appear STRETCH FOR ANOTHER 59:30!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, Hogan had that "jet ski" accident before WM9 but that was off-camera.

For those who wanted to know, here are the actual lyrics to Nakamura's new theme song...... I always believed that this day would come Now I am myself again Destroying the policy of the empire It's the definition of what I'm going to get It's absurd that you question me It does not matter how the combat ends the result of my game is the top a god without anyone in this world Do you not understand my strength? Do you not understand my strength? Do you not understand my strength? Do you not understand my strength? Do you not understand my strength? Do not you understand that I am NUMBER ONE? Wake up, move forward You are afraid of me We're going to fix this in one fell swoop, I'm your nightmare Looking into your eyes I can know what you think It does not make sense that you try to escape I will not run away or hide If I am a god, you must be a corpse If I find you, it's hard to regret Do you not understand my strength? Do you not understand my strength? Do you not understand my strength? Do you not understand my strength? Do you not understand my strength? Do not you understand that I am NUMBER ONE?

Kurt looks like he's taking a profile picture for a Plenty of Fish account that Taker's reluctantly allowing him to set up for him.

That dude is about as fake as anyone in the history of the planet. Of course he immediately starts cursing when things don't go his way. His precious respectability is gone, he doesn't have to be fake any more. Fuck that dude, put him under the jail.

Bit of thread necro, but since it happened today: Guilty on 3 counts.

Holy shit is that fantastic. Sami popping out from behind KO really does it for me, it's such a 1980's cartoony thing to have a shitbird sidekick.

Feel bad for everyone with seats behind the giant hovering snap code.

You know, this actually explains a lot. Becky Lynches may be closer than they appear:

(Translated from Japanese) "We know who that is! It's Johnny Bullet!"

I'm waiting for the debut of Johnny Honor.

Was your uncle a priest who was also a werewolf and terrorized Corey Haim when he was wheelchair bound?

Literally the only good thing that shitty band has ever done.

Really entertaining show. I do agree that Austin Aries is turning out of nowhere though.

Mostly short matches but an exciting action packed show. My favorite work of Aries' career has always been when he's babyface but I feel like he always ends up turning heel as soon as possible and it's usually sudden and abrupt which I guess is happening here. The Eddie/Sami stuff has been great. Allie/Taya was pretty good while it lasted and the post-match was awesome. I feel like Rosemary/Su could end up with a big time feel for an epic showdown, the brief face off was great. I hope Steiner is sticking around for good and not just for a few months or so, he is still a great highlight every show he's on. Main event was good, loved Eli with the Rick Steiner esque finish. They've got a lot of cool things going on with the Eddie/Sami angle, Rosemary/Su rivalry, the intrigue of the LAX/Konnan missing stuff, fun times.

Everything about this makes me laugh

Doh, I should know enough about OSJ's cat-keeping to pick up on that. Obligatory picture:

There are fates worse than death. See your title.

It arrived. Now I really need THE COMPLETE LADY SNOWBLOOD to complete my Criterion trifecta. EDIT: Criterion trifecta, in this case, is LW&C, ZATOICHI, and SNOWBLOOD.

I don't think OSJ meant ten years old...

Those seats are way too nice to put pictures of wrestlers faces on them. And you thought getting those collector edition chairs through airport security was a pain in the ass.

If you had to detach Venom from Spider-Man, there's probably a pretty good hook for Brock as a reporter tied to the whole fake news thing in 2018. Given who Venom's usual fanbase is (the Punisher/Batman/Wolverine crowd, that's most likely to be anti-inclusion), if Venom is suddenly a Jim Acosta who the government has somehow framed and that goes a little nuts and over the top when merged with the Symbiote, I would absolutely watch that movie.

Also, Elias' extremely "I'm enjoying this, but that thing is going to kill me" face.

Wow. I've lost socks in the laundry before, but I've never had the dryer disappear too.

VileOne sticking to his no spoilers gimmick is fucking tremendous.

I, unironically, would watch every picosecond of this.

LOL at Sasha Banks' shirt and Cesaro's face in the second picture.

Oh and in other news, World of Sport has been commissioned for ten episodes in the UK. Hopefully it won't be as toss as the special from a few years ago but I'm not holding my breath

This is AMAZING...

I had to take a break from Bloodborne as it's busting my balls fierce. So I went to Best Buy and picked up Everybody's Golf since it's on sale this week. Loving it so far.

He could feud with Barry Houston.

Kerry?

It's the libertarian dream. Knock knock knock "One second...ye........" "I LIVE HERE NOW. YOU GO." "Oh god," "STRONG LIVE. TEND LAWN. WEAK FLEE. FOOD FOR MONGRELS." "Hmmmm. your logic sound, gigantic invader. My wife and children are upstairs. They are yours to sell or devour. Before I leave may I grab a broom to fend off road warriors?" "NO. BROOM FOR ME NOW. LEAVES IN GUTTER NEED BROOM." "I see. I'll just pre-lube myself up for Lord Humungus then." "THAT GUY NOT REAL LIBERTARIAN. FIX GAS PRICES." "Yes, yes, I heard your debate on NPR." "NOAH ADAMS BIASED. ME PREFER JUAN WILLIAMS." "Of course you do." "ME HEAR SARCASM IN VOICE. JUAN WILLIAMS FAIR BALANCE." "Can I just go now." "ME FEEL LIKE YOU LEAVE ANGRY." "No, I'm fine. Just tired." "EVERYONE ALWAYS TIRED WHEN TALK MAYOR KANE."

I love this

Even if work was super slow I won't have this shitshow on. I very much have a "Fuck Saudi Arabia" mentality for a multitude of reasons. They might not give a shit about one person not watching it but it's my decision. Heck, I might as well do something ridiculous like watching the 24 special on women's empowerment at the time this is airing. Sounds weird, but I bet it'll be a better use of my time.

I'm not going to be there when my father passes away. My plan is to donate his body to the mortuary program I attended. To borrow a line from Everclear singer and fellow Cretan, Art Alexakis, "Daddy gave me a name and then he walked away.".
