Per Meltzer - the Saudi Arabian prince who wanted the WWE show (basically the whole reason for this deal in the first place), when originally talking to Vince said the three people who wanted on the show where "Undertaker, Ultimate Warrior and Yokozuna" A-yup EDIT - More fun - the reason Lawler and JR were there was because the Prince wanted "the announcer with the crown and the announcer with the black hat" So basically the money mark is a RSPW poster

Danny Burch has signed a full time NXT contract, announced it at his farewell Beyond show last night. Hopefully this means they'll do something more with the Lorcan team that I don't think has won a match yet

Nobody could ever think a Ninja Turtles arcade cabinet is a silly purchase. Well unless they fucked up and bought the two player version.

The Gamora/Thanos stuff was perfect

BTW, my non-Fonzie pick for Nak manager would be Armando Alejandro Estrada

Seth is a really hot babyface right now. He seems to be getting genuine crowd support and his character work is way more natural now. Him taking down Brock not the worst idea in the world.

Starbucks, fiery alien death, either or.

Some of the Wakandans were hoping for the Olympics and a Starbucks.

Or I can just close it. This has run its course. Bill Cosby is a horrific piece of shit. He will probably die in jail. Good. Now onto Weinstein.

After reading all of this, I think Gulak is probably the best choice for Nak's mouthpiece.

YOU DESERVE IT. YOU DESERVE IT

"It's a teacup. You sit... in a teacup." Yeah, this is going to get over huge.

Good thing its April 30th

I just saw it, and I've been avoiding the thread and still need to wade back through it. All I'll say in general is that I liked it, it's better than the other two Avengers movies by a wide margin, but it still suffers from the problem I had with the others. It never feels like a complete film because of all of the narrative masters it has to serve. Again, it's probably as good as it could be given all of the moving parts involved. They handled the dozens of characters well, but it's still a lot like a multi-man ladder match where there's a lot of laying around while other participants do their spots, and you notice when a character's not on screen for awhile. Also if I hadn't been conditioned to wait for stingers I wouldn't know that the post production supervisor was named Adam Cole.

The Kevin Owens shirt he's wearing on Raw tonight with the Fleur-de-lis is pretty badass. Hopefully that's not just something for the local market and eventually makes its way online.

I have no idea where to post it, but Being the Elite put up a new video teasing more new episodes soon.

No, the missing gems are becase Ric Flair lost them in divorce court. He had to barter something to keep a rack full of bedazzled women's robes.

Grunt in the ROH offices "Hey we have a fuckton of footage of some of the biggest stars in the entire industry we can put on our streaming service that would cause lots of people to sign up for it." Sinclair exec: "We can't do that, we could make too much money. That would make too much sense."

I have watched it all now and here is my Absolutely Objective Match Rankings (best to worst) that, based on internet buzz, must drastically underrate Akiyama vs Marufuji, but whatever, it's top 10 anyhow:

This angle with them is the strangest fucking thing. Like, I still think it's partially wanting to stretch it out until Brooklyn, but the way it just keeps spinning the wheels week after week is absurd. Also, semi-related: I already miss the split brand ppvs.

I'm all for "Yoko" working the Saudi tour if it gets Ryota Hama into the WWE. On the Saudi shows, he can pull double-duty: work as Yokozuna in one match, impersonate Rikishi in another.

Nakamura doesn't need a manager.

There's so much stuff from 02-06 that needs to be out there. The 74 minute match between Danielson and Aries. The All Japan series from Final Battle 03. Joe vs Punk 2. The Summer of Punk. Joe vs Kenta. The CZW feud. Why would you refuse your companies history? I thought Pierce was pretty solid if my memories serves me current. He was booking the ROH HDNet days wasnt he?

Pearce era was mostly disappointing to me. Not putting up Gabe era just saves me money. Thanks Sinclair.

Not to make this Marvel vs DC but they were morons for not just hotshotting Darkseid in Justice League because they pretty much can't do him now.

So let's talk about...

I am so sick and tired of Finn being attached to Rollins. Or of Miz being attached to Rollins Or of fucking Seth Rollins in general. I know he's over, but good fucking Christ I can't stand anything about him

I want that guitar chic that played him out at Wrestlemania.

Show itself felt a bit different to what we usually get what with Bushi/Desperado transitioning immediately into Hiromu/Kanemaru and main event didn't feel like NJPW main event which I found very refreshing since often things can get a bit too crazy. Not to say that this was better than usual NJPW show, but I don't mind such things happening once in a while. Just like that Hiromu/Kushida squash last year. When you take a step back and look at the main event without "NJPW style" expectations, I think that ending made perfect sense. Naito delivers bunch of Suzuki-style slaps to Suzuki and draws blood, follows up with brainbuster (I think) and Destino to kill him. Only problem is that we had seen people kicking out of multiple Destinos before, but thats really another problem entirely. As for Suzuki being dominant most of the match, well thats usually how his matches go, especially if he ends up losing. But really, main thing here is that Naito has IC title again which is dangerous territory. If he doesn't use it to challenge Okada at Dominion AND doesn't win then this entire journey becomes a bit stupid, all things considered. The way I see it that is the only path for Naito to grow now and if instead we get Naito/Zack at Dominion or he losses again to Okada then he'll be at dead end in my opinion. And thats bad because despite Okada breaking that record I'm not sure if Gedo wants Naito to go over him there... since that might also lead us to dangerous territory of Okada being GOATest GOAT that ever GOATed in terms of kayfabe, but still being surrounded by other, more popular main eventers. So more I think more it looks like lose/lose situation. Not gonna lie, I wanted Naito to win, but all things considered it might have been better if Suzuki won.

But... CM Punk isn't the longest reigning WWE Champion and doesn't hold a record? Its not like anyone mentions that abortion of a reign for any reason.

Drake Maverick.

Don’t kill my New Gods movie before it gets a chance to suck on its own merits!

And the Chitauri Invasion, HYDRA revealed as controling SHIELD for decades and attempting to wipe every good person off the map and Ultron attempting an extinction level event were days at the office? Even with that, I'm cool with it in the long run. This is a job for Superman, and all that.

The face of a man who has seen himself at age 50 walking out onto the convention floor to total silence...he gently sighs, stumbles, flails his arms, smashes his forehead onto a card table. He stands up smiling to a smattering of applause and one guy yelling "You still got it Titus!" He knows he will eat tonight. Not well, but enough to sustain him.

The new Mad Max looks awesome

The only time my kid was in the locker room was when she was on my back in a baby carrier.
