I really wish Titus had just stayed down there and then we never saw him again. Not because I don't like Titus but just because it would be a great storyline. Apollo could go looking for him and find him a year from now trying to convince the sewer people to join his new agency. Then he could lead a stable called Titus Underworldwide.

The new Mad Max looks awesome

The NXT choices were... interesting. It's like Vince growled, GIVE ME THE BIGGEST, STRONGEST GUYS YOU'VE GOT! And someone confusedly sent Roddy Strong a plane ticket.

My spoiler free review

Given his current highly disingenuous heel character, aren't these all pros and not cons?

Or the Empowered ep of 24.

Also, holy shit did Cass nearly die on that botched Vertical Suplex. Lashley was trying, but Cass was a lump of shit.

Titus Worldslide.

He needs to be a playable character on the next Mario Cart. He doesn’t throw shells or banana peels or anything. He just glares at the other drivers and they slow down and let him pass out of fear.

He underthrew the trash can, and it ended up smashed on the floor.

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.

There are fates worse than death. See your title.

Lawler would be the expert on giving young women payoffs

Oh shit. Roman taking 6 to 12 months off and then coming back with a shaved head and sunglasses like Batista did during his run where he looked like Chono would be killer. Aside from that I'm not sure anything rehabs Roman. Hah, WWE should do something like NJPW does with excursions, except instead of young lions, it's dudes they pushed too soon or completely botched the pushes for.

Michael Cole: "GUYS, UNDERTAKER LOOKS BETTER THAN HE EVER HAS IN HIS ENTIRE CAREER!!!!!" My Lying Eyes:

This obviously overrides the "no posting until the show is over" rule, because it's the greatest thing ever.

BUCKS IN SIX SEVEN!

I would watch a solid hour of Asuka kicking other women in the head.

Someone didn't pay their sand bill.

I was thinking the same thing :/ strange that my interest piqued with a part time veteran defending the belt while Aldis is a total buzzkill

Happy 31st anniversary

Love this, I wish I could see more matches featuring the Texas Outlaws. I bet being on the road with those two would've been a blast

If you listen quietly enough, that's the sound of Bettman furiously masturbating. I don't get this at all.

I don't need to see Steiner wrestling, but I want to hear his insane promos every week.

Somewhere in the hereafter, the ghost of Richard Pryor is howling with laughter.

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.

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dan Matha looks like a bowling pin.

I just heard Shinsuke Nakamura's remixed theme and that shit goes hard. It's so good.

new theory: vince doesn't want the WWE to outlive him

There was a section of that match where they were bringing in new people every 15 to 20 seconds and immediately eliminating them. Like the match itself was bored with itself. Even that match was like "WE BELONG DEAD!"

Please Quack. Give us Val Venis, Rob Van Dam, and Matt Sydal for King of Trios.

HELLO LADIES

So I only watched the youtube clip to see what Scott Steiner looked like. the overhead belly to belly off the top was scary just for him not being able to move. The BEST PART OF THE MATCH, was Ortiz tripping over nothing and shaking like someone was keeping him from making the save. But Steiner wasn't even there.

Hold on, I've got something for this...

Pruno Pops! Mmmm, mmmm!

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

All good points about Cornette - I guess, just hearing how vehement he is about, shall we say, what he sees as outdated Southern politics and knowing that he did angles that were race-based, that were based on the Confederate flag (including promoting babyfaces who supported the flag) and that were based on inflaming prejudices of the fanbase, I just see it as kind of sleazy and carny if he felt that way back then but just wanted to make money out of riling up people he saw as backwards and ignorant. I know that's what wrestling is and certainly Cornette of 1993 may not have the same political beliefs of the Cornette of 2018 but it's kind of amazing that he laughs off stories of like the Klan coming up to him and saying that if Tracy doesn't take care of DWB for disrespecting the Southern flag or passing off Tammy as a HRC-loving liberal because that will rile up the rednecks. Even back then, those things reinforced and codified very negative and dangerous discourses about culture and politics in our society. And I know that he both plays heel on his podcast and is kind of a real-life asshole anyway but sometimes the derision he speaks about the people that bought tickets to see him over the years is a little oft-putting. I'm probably making much ado about nothing and SMW was great and remains great on rewatch but the dissonance kind of struck me .

I've actually got a pet project of assembling newsletter info about SMW dating back to 1992, and it's been pretty fascinating. But one thing that caught my eye: Cornette wanted to put Tammy with the Gangstas. Meltzer's line was that she decided against it "because she wanted to live to see her 22nd birthday." On another note, Tammy was so insanely good as a heel at her age. It's such a shame how things ended up in general. She should've been the next Sherri, not the first Sable.

Is this Kawada's interviewing an invisible Barrack Obama like Clint Eastwood at the RNC?
