I have no idea what's going on here, but I think it involves Wonder Woman's invisible plane.

If the female version is Jenny KP, and the Mexican is Juan, would the Japanese equivalent be Jun Kikupadu?

I loved Jim Mitchell using phrase like "how much heat I am going to get with the boss". Like hell is run like a 1980's wrestling territory. Although in his case "heat" takes a whole new meaning. Also it is funny that one of the common complaints about Lucha Underground is the idea of Katarina as a ghost or a witch is so stupid in wrestling. Yet now we find out that Allie is kind of the same thing as this body with no soul.

Just move it to the LA Memorial Sports Arena, like WrestleMania VII.

D&D STORY TIME So my 10 year old dropped into my wife's game. He plays a thief and asked my wife's party to help her clear his name in a murder mystery. It went final. And then....the FINAL BATTLE. Towards the end of the fight, a Crystaline Devil is getting it's ass beat and it flips out...charges my sons character and drops him to 0 hit points. With his first attack. Sicne he has a second attack I make a roll to decide whether the monster would continue attacking my son's fallen character. He does, and now my son has two death save fails without even rolling a die. My wife tries to stabilize him with two different characters before he has to make a death save and FAILS both rolls. He rolls his death save knowing if he rolls under a 10 his character is dead. He looked like he was going to be sick. But he made the save and stabilized. One of my wife's character managed to throw him some hit points with a healing word. On my son's next turn, he stands up...rolls a Natural 20 and lands the killing blow on the devil that nearly killed him. I asked him to describe how he destroys the monster, and he did. I said, "after you've killed the crystal devil, you turn back to your party, your clothes tattered and covered in your own blood and you say....what?" And my son thinks for a second and says.... "I'm a man." We died laughing. Not "THE" Man. He's now "A" man. Dungeons and Dragons is fun.

When you have Chris Murphy and Lindsey fucking Graham on the same side of an argument, big things are indeed happening. Once more, fuck Saudi Arabia. Good time to seize their assets and tell them to go fuck themselves. What are they going to do? Try and attack us with the outmoded weapons systems we've been selling them that aren't even capable of defeating Yemen? Yemen? I mean, really... if you can't beat Yemen in a war, just what the fuck good are you?

So... My friends and I have a weekly movie night. We all go to each others places rotating on a weekly basis and roll a dice to see who gets to pick the movie for that week. My friend Andrew (from the GTA crew @J.T.) won the roll this week, so for the first time ever, I watched HELLRAISER. So, I'm not really sure what I was expecting, but it was definitely more gross than scary. Practical effects and make up were great. But there were definitely some eyerolling moments ("Jesus wept" gtfoh) I liked the story, but I dunno. I was never scared. And the Cenobites were dispatched WAY too easily. Also, I guarantee you more than a few people's erotic awakenings happened during this movie. I get why it's a classic, but I was sort of middle of the road, leaning towards liking it. (Also, Cenobite ABSOLUTELY sounds like something you'd get at a Cinnabon, which makes me very hungry.)

I still think Dave's losing it.

Watched The Norliss Tapes on YouTube before my ill fated Xbox One game time and it was pretty good. So far, I am 11 for 11 on watching scary shit every night for the month of October.

I mean we all have a “one dismemberment forgiveness” price and for most of us it’s probably less than 40 million dollars right? Maybe Vince can use some of that to have a Washington Post Coupon day on Smackdown or something to even things out. That’s the invisible hand of the market at work. Sawing and sawing away.

I remember on the indies a big division between the old school workers and their trainees, who were not allowed to get into a ring without official rasslin boots, and the "next generation' who were trained by those above trainees. Japan tapes, backyard feds, friends training friends, changing styles of dress and work, all had something to do with it. I remember some folks just plain did not want to buy boots or at least spend money on them, which I found amazing. THE BOOTS ARE ONE OF THE BEST PARTS OF BEING A RASSLER - that, and being allowed to refer to oneself in thee third person. The Reverend liked that. - RAF, K&H customer

Reportedly Richardson, Waiters and an first were a done deal for Butler, then Thibs called Riley back to ask for more picks. Allegedly Pat responded by calling him a motherfucker and hanging up.

Dare I get a little political, and perhaps on a day dedicated to hugs a little politically incorrect and offensive (Wait, John Pelan saying something offensive? Say it isn't so!!!") I'm all about trying to live in harmony with other countries, possible exceptions would be bloodthirsty monarchies with their philosophy rooted around 1145AD. Let's review, do we need Saudi oil; no we most emphatically do not, not now not ever. Do we need Saudi investment money? HAHAHAHAHAHA, are you fucking kidding me? Now if you wanted to talk about the UAE or another country that actually invests in stuff and by stuff, I mean companies, infrastructure, etc. not gold toilets and sports cars for their obnoxious brats, and ridiculous wrestling shows; then we might have something to merit discussion. No, we don't need fuck all from the Saudis and now that we have their fucking lapdogs the Bushes out of the Oval Office for good there's absolutely no reason to prolong the charade, tell Israel they have a fucking green-light as far as we're concerned and let the cards fall where they may. Fuck Saudi Arabia, the only reason not to nuke it till it fucking glows is that not everyone is part of the royal family.

I've literally not watched any Netflix Marvel since Daredevil season two. But white jacket Kingpin has me curious. If this gets rave reviews, I may give it a shot.

Chikara era Johnny Gargano, Icarus, Gran Akuma, as team fist

"Because as you know, here at Ring of Honor, we let our Bullet Cub and NJPW workers book themselves pretty much however they want..."

"Quinn Cook's true shooting % was actually higher than Jimmy Butler's last year, so really this is an upgrade for us" Also, I'm just going to leave this here:

"McCaw and Wiggins are just conserving energy on defense. It's normal. Find a new slant."

They could sell out a basketball Arena in the states with DX vs Brothers of Destruction even on two weeks notice. MAy not be able to pay Shawn 10 million though, but Matt Bentlay could shave his head and be a Shawn stand in.

Maybe the Prince will accept a free month of WWE Network instead? He can still watch the all his favorite Fashion Police matches plus that MSG show where Kamala and Andre were in a cage! Guys, this is going to go very smoothly! Next up: WWE ONE NIGHT IN PARADISE: LIVE FROM UGANDA'S FAVORITE THEME RESTAURANT KON-E-CHEESE! Who would have thought when Wrestlemania 1 happened that THAT would end up being the company that would go on to perfectly symbolize the death throws of End-Stage Colonial Capitalism? Certainly not Mr. T!

The lesson here is that Jimmy Snuka should have declared that hotel room to be the Tongan consulate.

Honestly, I don't think an actual band can be considered New Jack Swing. I think the thing that makes New Jack Swing stand out is that it isn't the music that funk and R&B bands played. It is spliced together like a hip-hop song. Even though Control is full of live instrumentation, all of it is played individually and pieced together like you'd layer samples on a hip-hop beat instead of hiring a band to play. Listen to "Nasty," from Control and compare it to anything that came before it. I bet it sounds more like the hip-hop of the time than the R&B. The Time is part of the 79-86 era, not the New Jack Swing era, even though they kind of fathered the style. I honestly think the thing that separated the 79-86 era of R&B and the New Jack Swing era is that every R&B artist made a choice to either embrace hip-hop or to not embrace hip-hop. Jam and Lewis, Teddy Riley, etc. embraced it, and created something new. The artists that didn't embrace hip-hop kind of faded away.

On the flip side - here are Hama and Bono looking like they got the All Asia Tag Titles out of a Cracker Jack box

Ruined that for ya.

BJW fucked up so bad driving him off with the CZW crap. Let's not even mention the near death of Yamakawa which is really just a bad accident that ruined the rest of his career.

A rolling solebutt to the implant? That had to hurt like hell. Even if just a regular crappy kick.

If everyone gets a Norovirus and it becomes a shit cruise, this will be the greatest broadcasted event in history. Also, having known Bix during his um "pre-woke" period, I resist the urge to secretly destroy his journalistic career using nothing but some old IRC logs I'm sure people have.

Thibs is going to wait so long and kill the trade value so much that we're going to end up with Jimmy Butler: Golden State Warrior.

Juan Kickpads Johnny Fistpad.

Eye forgot about that one part.

@Michael Sweetser I hope you don't mind, but I created a Botch Club championship using your logo. I couldn't figure out how to edit the description crediting you with the logo, but once I do I'll reupload it with a description. I feel it turned out surprisingly well and while it's not used in title matches it's awarded to those who do an epic botch. And on that note the first Botch Club champion in my game is Kalisto. And believe it or not this was a simmed match.

Man, Jazz does not look like she's aged a day since she was in WWE

I do not want to get in a political discussion, but this is some unfounded crazytalk. Wrestling has always been a mixed-up jumble of conservative & reactionary (outsiders are evil!) and liberal & progressive (different folks can work together!) viewpoints but has mostly stayed apolitical. The McMahon family (as did most promoters) supported whatever party was in power and whomever would let them make as much dirty carny money as possible. Vince and Linda in particular contributed to both the Republicans and Democrats for decades, and her run as a Rep. candidate was mere opportunism. The Trump connection is based on his reality show fame and mutual money-making, not necessarily from shared values. A large part of both rassling story arcs and match psychology are based on the individual, often the underdog, overcoming the odds. The Elite/1%/Rich White Guys believe they are better and therefore deserve what they have - that's human nature. The Randian individualism "philosophy" shares this view as well, and is adopted by some of the far Right folks as well as the Libertarians. Breaking up groups and turning faces has been around since Oog threw a worked punch at Mok, in front of the whole tribe, not to say they aren't overused tropes by a crappy writing committee. The idea that VKM thinks that a grim negative booking trend to prove a political point will draw more money than one that makes fans happy is ridiculous. C'mon, Mr. McMahon is guilty of a bunch of stuff as the man with the most booking power (the potty humor, the misogyny, the out-of-date references) but he has never been of a political bent or especially of advancing a political agenda by booking anti-humanist propagandas. Then again, the personal is the political, so what do I know? - RAF

Well no, no one actually expects them to.

You know it's gone too far when Miz is wearing kickpads.

Woaaaaah.......

Then he asked why that "Mexican" was wearing gloves and if he ever played football.

Get your popcorn out. This is gonna be good.

I honestly think Janet Jackson is the harbinger of the new jack swing era. Jam and Lewis produced Control and it sounded different than anything else that was going on at the time. Then Teddy Riley started with Guy, Bobby Brown, and Keith Sweat. There is an era where Rick James, S.O.S. Band, and artists of that ilk were at the forefront. Why aren't Jam and Lewis and Teddy Riley in?

Here we go.

So you're daring them to be stupid? And Seattle should now be everyone's pick in Survivor Pools.

Nah, security reasons. Someone threatened to kill Sgt. Slaughter.
