This popped up on my twitter dot com. Enjoy the tenth of a second that Mean Gene corpses hard.

To be fair to Cornette, it wasn't a general notion so much as "he needs to stab Daniel Bryan with a fishhook." but still.. Also, Reign's response is patently dumb. "Why should we try to craft a response that will maximize profits and attention as opposed to just accept the fact that we've stumbled into people booing me unproductively and just keep doing what we're doing?" It's basically "Well, my cat vomited on this canvas and I found a deranged hobo who will buy it for $2.50. Why bother going to art school, right?" I'm not saying that him stabbing Bryan is the answer (it's a pretty good medium term answer, but also a no-brainer). There's no reality where having a plan that's working is worse than "things kind of, sort of not really working but still working just enough by accident." Not in any field.

So right away Cody drops some news which is that they have a whole advertising budget because they thought they would pull 4,000 the first month and then they'd eventually get up to 10,000 by the time of the show. They now don't have to use any of their advertising budget.

This gap between games is terrible

One of our most-talented rookies here in the Okanagan has been catching a lot of ribbing for listing himself on his social media as being 5-11, when he's closer to 5-9. We have been merciless about it because, hey, he's a rookie. But when they list Amir Jordan in the tournament as 5-11 (he's maybe 5-8 and that's generous), I've got no qualms with my kids fudging their numbers, too. Shit, I'm 6--1 now, IDGAF. Finally, my NBA dreams are back on track!!!

I just read three paragraphs of transcription of Cornette on some satellite radio talking about Reigns and the magical solution to fixing the problem. It took him three paragraphs to say : "Turn him heel." People I blame: 1. WWE. So, so much. 2. Myself for reading it 3. Cornette for taking that long to say it.

They should use that to stream the show and advertise that, imo. Probably the vast majority of people who bought tickets (excluding scalpers) were already indie wrestling fans; now that they made news with the quick sellout, streaming it would be their chance to get some new eyes on this and really make a difference.

Terrifying. BUT I would now like to see a WWE Films remake of Being John Malkovich.

Its Cornette tries not to mention him by name. Nobody cares about Vince Russo, so he only gets attention when someone like Cornette or Cody talk about him. This is controversial but I think titties make everything better.

Oh, wow... (Should I spoiler this? House Show surprise tonight.)

Also there’s this

Even when tweeting something congratulatory, Austin Aries comes off as a bitter, self-important dick.

That John Wick 3 trailer that RIPPA posted is not at all what I expected

You have even less of a chance. All signs point to her and Almas working themselves into a shoot. Aries screwed Aries. Nearly 40-year-old men shouldn't give women promise rings like they're in junior high.

Do you think they would've left early if AJ/Nak had gone on last? Maybe I'm wrong, but I highly doubt it.

My wife just sent me this picture. I cannot even handle this cat. Also, he and James have been napping on the couch together all afternoon. This is the closest they've gotten to each other without hissing.

THAT was a massive missed opportunity

Feeding his ego for an entire weekend is more than enough financially for him. Plus it wouldn't surprise me if he is getting something financially from the actual All In show.

Cornette made more than 1 promotion a dime in his time.

In fairness to my diatribe i would like to point out that there are still titties in WWE. Big Cass has a rack and a half on him.

I bought an air fryer nearly on a whim when it was an Amazon Deal of the Day. One of the best purchases I've ever made.

Negro Casas.

Ok. Let's just go with the Nia match. She's the next Sheamus. We're good.

Maybe Batista shared with him the secrets of being a huge guy and still being able to become invisible.

Personally I think the two headed ghost dick might be better than the flame dick. EDIT: Sure am glad this is how a new page starts.

which would be explained by Michael Cole as, "Kenny Omega just loves to have fun."

Freddie's "AIDS period" (and fucking yuck to that phrasing, btw) started WELL before his 1987 diagnosis of AIDS. The way the disease works is this: you get HIV however you get it (sex, needles, transfusion, being born to an HIV+ mother), have it for a while -- years -- usually asymptomatically, and then when the virus starts attacking your white blood cells, that's when you get diagnosed with AIDS. If the disease has progressed to the point you get diagnosed with AIDS, especially in 1987 -- you will die soon. AIDS kills you by allowing any disease that your body normally would fight off easily can kill you. You don't die of AIDS, you die with AIDS. There were rumors of Mercury being HIV+ since the early 80's. And if you aren't aware, literally not figuratively literally hundreds of thousands of people died in the 1980's to the "Gay Man's Plague". This story has the ability to show one of the most talented, influential musical legends and how his life paralleled that of a hedonistic generation of gay men in Europe, Australia, & America, and tell a larger story of what it meant to have this disease that carried not only a death sentence, but a social stigma, that left thousands orphaned from any kind of basic human treatment (on top of being gay or pansexual or however Mercury chose to identify). He held fear in his heart about what his diagnosis meant for his career and his fame, until the week of his death. He was an icon. He could have been a hero. A beacon of light to a generation of INCREDIBLY talented men and women we lost to a horrible, horrible, horrible disease. But he wasn't. That's Freddy Mercury's legacy. And THAT is the story they should have made. Not Brian May trying to fucking figure out why Freddie wanted to add god damned orchestral pieces to a 6 minute song.

Bryan should just put people who mouth off at him into a heel hook every week until all the bullies are reflexively afraid of him and flinch when he walks by. Until Joe, that is.

Kin Korn Karn's strikes were much more believable.

Now that's clearly impossible.

For our first champ we chose Andre the Giant vs. Franz Van Buyten French Catch 1/20/68 SC Review Nominate some contenders below!!

The answer is none of the above. Lana is the best. Lana #1

Is Lana: 1) a Russian heel who is deluded into thinking she is a good person? 2) a Russian heel who is trying to fool others into thinking she is a good person? 3) an American heel who is pretending to be a Russian who thinks she is a good person? 4) an American heel who is deluding into thinking she is a good person Russian? 5) a charmingly deluded babyface who thinks she may or may not be a Russian heel that is trying to fool people into thinking she is a good person? 6) Look, I'm going to stop before this becomes a @piranesi post, but I'm not convinced they have any idea of the answer either.

I liked it better when it was called Meet The Feebles

Kanemaru using young lion as a projectile was top stuff. ACH had his, I think, AAW belt? Not sure if that means anything, but that never stopped anyone from speculating. Glad that he picked up a win and I hope that he ends up having a decent run this year. Flip Gordon went All In with probably more high spots than other three matches combined. I hope that this was because it was opening day and he wanted to leave an impression since other shows might have smaller viewership. But if this is going to happen in every match then my head might start hurting. Ropongi 3K continue their slow climb upwards with Yoh needing a flash pin to beat Bushi. I was honestly let down by the main event. Didn't feel like they clicked that well, but it is understandable since if I'm not mistaken they never really faced each other in singles nor in tags before. I also didn't really understand if he hit some variation of his finisher earlier that Ospreay kicked out off or did he actually hit his finisher twice in the match?

Wrestling ability? Pants that fit him?

I came here to speak some truth for Freddie Mercury but Dolfan already did that shit. Elsalvajeloco covered the Eazy-E base thoroughly I guess I will go back to the Video Games forum. Oh, and fuck that Freddie Mercury biopic that has no fucking teeth.

2018 so far:

A few hours ago, John Cena was likely sitting on a bus stop bench with a box of chocolates.

Speaking as a resident of Gallup, NM, let's not.

You just reminded me thst what I hate most about the current WWE production is thst the stupid ring post LED lights make it impossible for the coolest spot ever to happen again in a WWE ring - the ring post figure 4. I still wonder how or where Bret came up with that. It was genius to add thst to his heel repertoire.

I’ve heard NXT guys mention this rule on various podcasts, so it’s at least discussed even if I’d never mentioned or enforced.
