Receiving the piledriver appears to be Danny Most, as Most is on the side of his tights.

Say what you want about Corbin, but this is legit funny:

HEY YOUTHS! WHAT COULD BE "COOLER" THAN A 75 YEAR OLD MAN "POPPING OFF" to "SHAKE THINGS UP"???? HOW ABOUT A 75 YEAR OLD MAN "SHAKE RATTLE AND ROLLING" AT THE "SOCK HOP" WITH HIS 45 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER!!!! NO "SQUARES" ALLOWED BECAUSE THIS "GROOVING GRANDPA" REALLY KNOWS HOW TO SWING "WAY OUT THERE!!!!!" SEE YOU ALL AT THE "DRAG STRIP" DADDIOH!!!!

Yeah, that proved he never lost a step, and he was able to get Vince to dial back down his personality to pre-Monday Night Raw Era Vince. For a small moment in time the presentation on WWE television improved drastically.

I’m a criminal defense attorney. I don’t file suit. But I’ll defend the person who kills that ref.

The spot is cool, but the camerawork is even better:

God knows if the poors are allowed to organize we might have to give out 24 K plated dildos at our Eyes Wide Shut parties instead of the solid ones.

You know, I wish we were back in the time where DDP was pulling Diamond Cutter's out of his ass. Better RKO.

Plus - PLUS - the show is being advertised as 7 - 9:30 pm Legit if they stick to that it will be the greatest wrestling show I ever attend

Billy Gunn, NWA World Heavyweight Champion. I like how that sentence sounds.

It's actually impressive how Grunfeld makes Bruce Allen look somewhat intelligent.

If there was a bottle of bourbon present, it would make the ultimate Dick Allen poster. Though I'm really not sure who would want a Dick Allen poster. The kid down the street and me both dug when he was going by "Richie", seems like when he changed from "Richie" to "Dick", he became one...

So the next NWA title defense for Nick Aldis takes place on Sunday night in Puerto Rico for the CWA promotion and it's a doozy Kinda hope Billy wins it.

That's like the least surprising part of the whole clusterfuck, isn't it?

Captions on pics where it’s not obviously clear who it is are always helpful and cut down on posts like this asking who is in the picture .

Nah he's going to be the first official signing for the XFL once he loses his GM job.

I'd describe Corbin as "boringly competent" But good Lord he is not a guy who should be in literally 1/4 - 1/3 of the show every week. He's just boring. I mean, when he's in the opening segment and you use that segment to tell the audience he'll be in the main event as well, people are going to change the channel.

The ratings always turn around in January, as there is no more Monday Night Football. Of course those in WWE are aware of this.

The face that dude pulls at the very beginning made him look like Cena hahaha

The Brain out ahead

It could have been much worse.

You legit are the only person who likes Raw is Corbin

Spoiler Alert: Bobby Blaze wins

Sorry I am too distracted by the cartoon character that is the champion of the organization.

You ever heard Taylor Swift's 'Don't Blame Me'? Fucking great, isn't it? 4 months after the last post in this thread and, I don't give a shit, I'm whiter than white and completely uncool but Taylor Swift is fucking great and, yet, the point remains, that Dua Lipa's IDGAF is still the best pop song released this year bar none.

Is that the twin brother to Donny Most, of Happy Days?

Also. This is the best thing you will read today. https://amp.wbur.org/onlyagame/2018/12/14/lin-wang-charles-barkley?__twitter_impression=true

They don't have the talent to win in a meaningful way. And they are less likely to have the talent to win when Lauri is in his prime if they continue down the path they have been on for the last few years. I want them to win as much as anyone. It's nonsense to suggest otherwise. If i'm at the game I would obviously root for them to play well and win, but the long view suggests a better chance of success with tanking what is already a lost season. The reason I am rooting for a tank is that I have a realistic view of our front office. They do not have a good reputation. They treat players poorly, undermine coaches and consider the health of their players a secondary concern. Top tier FAs will not come here despite being in a great city/big market. And doing completely regressive things like signing Rondo, old Wade and hometown kid Jabari Parker to sell jerseys is not trying to win (or trying to tank) it's just shitty sports capitalism. Oh yeah. And I've seen Duke play this year. PS: The prices do drastically change with the success of the team in most markets. I used to get a ticket/hot dog/soda combo for 6 bucks when I went to watch the pre-grindhouse Grizz. How low did the ticket prices get in Process Philly? Im sure a few people here could answer that one.

The fact that it’s Ernie Grunfeld’s fault makes me so happy

Look, I think that Jesse Ventura making WWE commentary not only bearable, but enjoyable in 2008 or whenever it was should count double.

Scuttled because apparently there was an misunderstanding of which Brooks.

"I'm not tranquillo... I'm fucking crazy." I like that.

Vince is going to name himself Raw GM and we'll get the much anticipated return of the Kiss My Ass club. Its newest inductee will be former Raw GM-elect, Baron Corbin. We'll get the Revival repackaged as border patrol agents taking force against the Lucha House Party. Lars Sullivan, now packaged as a neo-nazi comes to the Revival's aid, curb-stomping LHP in his new Doc Martens with red laces. Lars' finisher is now the homey sock (pool ball in a sock wrapped in tape so it doesn't split when used as a weapon). Having lost the tag titles and raising the ire of the AoP, Drake Maverick now pisses and shits himself out of fear. Bobby Lashley now only moves his ass cheeks as if they're talking. Dean Ambrose will be a half hour away from Oakland's Oracle Arena at ALSAC/St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital mocking Roman Reigns and children with cancer. Yeah, I think that sounds like a Raw shaken up by Vince. Add a phoALSAC/St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

I never noticed before, but that’s the wrong hand on his jacket.

That guy looks like he’s tired of his line of work, and would rather be traveling around the country looking for the best diners, drive-ins, and dives.

One of my biggest wrestling wishes is that I wish Buzz Sawyer hadn't been such a fuck up. He was the proto-Benoit or Taz IE a mean, powerful double barrelled shotgun brute.

Maybe belongs in the music section, but I never venture in there. Just got back from seeing Claudio Simonetti's Goblin live-scoring a showing of the original Suspiria. This was the closing show of their North American tour. Weirdly they were playing the American south the last week or so and then flew up to Winnipeg for this show. Cool show to see. About the only issue were a few audience members who decided that it was an opportunity to attempt Mystery Science Theatre. They were terrible, the level of jokes included "Oooh get lit, girl!" when there was a shot of Susy drinking wine. One of the dudes kept blowing spit bubbles with his beer, so maybe I shouldn't make fun, there could be some issues there. The rest of the crowd was good, everyone got really into the gore (biggest cheer came when Susy killed the bat), though I think some where not sure what to think about how overly expressive Italian films are. After the showing, they stuck around an played an additional half hour or so of songs from stuff like Tenebrae, Deep Red, Phenomena, the Zombi films, etc. The Tenebrae cut was especially good. Annoying crowd and a real hot venue aside, well worth the $40 I spent.

Die Hard way back when:

The guy playing the ECW Zombie died three years ago, so if he were to show up on Impact, that would be an impressive commitment to kayfabing a gimmick.

He's best friends with the kings of doing shit that means nothing. (Remember the dragon suplex table spot in the US title match between Omega and Ishii? The match continued for almost 20 minutes after that.) So it's not too surprising that his matches are full of wasted spots.

Rebirth reviews: Adventures of the Super Sons #1 by Peter J. Tomasi. Robin and Superboy battle a Superman monument and are surprised by the arrival of kids as villains of Joker Jr., Lex Luthor etc. This was a great issue, so glad to get a 12-issue maxi-series after Super Sons ended. As ever the highlight is the interactions between the Super Sons with Damian reluctantly asking for Jon’s help fighting the Superman statue and Damian “accidently” using it on Jon when breaking the control mechanism. A fun book as Super Sons was minus the bad Super Sons of Tomorrow crossover.
