I get what you're saying but maybe he's doing the good deed in front of a camera so the 100K+ followers he has can see it, be inspired and do their own good deeds as well?

That's an impressive amount of stereotypes in one GIF, even by WCW standards.

Rollins vs. Morrison sounds like the match being played on a loop while my eyes are forced open Clockwork Orange style in my bleakest nightmares. So that's going to happen.

CM Punk on Hulk Hogan: WWE Backstage personality and former Superstar CM Punk had no kind words for Hulk Hogan during a recent appearance on Windy City Live's 2 Minute Warning. 'The Voice Of The Voiceless' may not have loaned his takes to this week's FS1 sister show, but he had plenty to add to the Chicago-based short, much to the pleasure and surprise of host Ryan Chiaverini. 'The Hulkster came up during discussion of prior legends, with Punk noting that "I wasn't a Hogan guy. I've met him. I like him even less now". As the host jokingly suggested that Punk was "crushing his childhood dreams", the former WWE Champion retorted with the humorously curt "f*ck him! Fuck Hulk Hogan.

Keith Lee popping up next to Balor like Jaws coming up out of the water is everything.

Ratings thoughts equals *fart sound. This company has put on some of the best television wrestling I’ve ever seen. I look forward to seeing it more than any show since twin peaks-the return. The roster is fantastic and the booking has been overall excellent. I have nothing to complain about. Further, I really hope they know to be more patient than the boo birds. I think they do. They came into an industry suffering a 15-20 year drought. Establishing stars and a weekly show is gonna take more than two fucking months. Really looking forward to tonight’s excellent line-up.

I'm not at all the biggest Morrison fan, though I liked Lucha Underground Morrison more than most versions. That said, I think they should push him to the moon. They've killed almost everyone else over the years. He's a recognized name that'll appeal to people who were watching at various points in the last ten years (not as much so as Rey or Matt Hardy but that's not the direction they want to go with them). He's credible, established, and undamaged. There's almost no one on the roster you can say that about. Get 6-9 months out of pushing him hard. If it works, great. If it doesn't, you'll probably get a couple of months grace out of it so you can prep a guy like Keith Lee.

It doesn't take away at all from his gesture, and I don't mean to be a big old fuckhead, but there is something that rings very hollow when someone does a good deed in front of a camera. Just do the fucking deed. Now that I'm done being all bitchmade, I will say that it is awesome of him to hook that person up with clothes and food. I work in social services, and even here in California, people are cold and wet and bummed this time of year. Shelters don't exist anymore in a lot of places, and the ones that do are sometimes just as toxic as street living. Not enough people are willing to give, be it time or food or clothes or care.

Respect.

I'd rather them lose the ratingz war for a bit here (will NXT sustain its rating or revert back to where it was or something in-between?) than start hotshotting stuff. I'm not in love with this week's lineup but it's not bad either. Gimme tags and top guys vs. midcarders over what Raw has been for the last 10-15 years.

Btw, I think I’m done with Marko Stunt. He’s just not good enough to make up for the lack of size. I enjoyed the way Jimmy Havoc sold for him on Dark a few weeks back, he wouldn’t go down totally on moves and looked more pissed off by Stunt than hurt, but dudes are selling for him as if he’s 6’ and it’s dumb. I’ll keep an open mind but he might be a bridge too far for my suspension of disbelief.

LOL. Ron, you won a division title at 7-8-1. That's like being proud of being NFC East champ this year.

Okay, I certainly don't think you need three damned YouTube videos to illustrate your point. And to answer your pearl-clutching... There is accountability for bad reffing. Referees are constantly scrutinized in the league, with employees dedicated exclusively to finding where referees fucked up. This is an egregious mistake (that the Rockets *did not challenge*), and the ref crew in question will probably be: severely fined, demoted off playoff duties, assigned to less competitive games, suspended, and possibly fired. Your team lost, and that sucks. But speaking as a ref, kindly stick it when you say there's no accountability for referees. It's one of the hardest jobs out there and the only time you will EVER be noticed is when you are human, and fuck up.

So 100 guys are going win 2 Super Bowls? That means I would have to be alive for at least 200 more years. I will take that deal.

Pretty sure the Rockets lost tonight because they crapped the bed in the 4th and were outscored 34-18. Motherfuckers cost me $$$ for not playing D and not closing out a 7-14 team...nevermind one bad call lol

I won't speculate about his motives, but that's the opposite of the old-school working handshake.

Turns out today is the United Nations International Day of People with Disabilities. I'm in that camp with Cerebral Palsy. We were once told I wouldn't ever speak properly. Thanks to my loving parents, little sister and the speech therapist I went to for years, we proved that prediction wrong. My CP causes me problems but it's part of who I am. I can't change that. People should be treated as equals xxx.

I really didn’t miss the ratings wars the first time they went away. Not sure who wanted them back but studying quartet hour breakdowns makes me want to stick my head in a blender.

Bad News likely would have refused to go - during a tour in Japan he felt that Dusty was racist and so refused to do a job to him in a tag match. Other matches in this alternate-history timeline that would be good: Midnight Express vs. Windham/Rotundo, and Rock-n-Roll vs. Adonis/Murdoch.

Got my Godzilla set today. What a big box.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary

Jonathan Groff is Seymour (until January, he'll be replaced by Gideon Glick) Christian Borle is the dentist Tammy Blanchard is Audrey Kingsley Leggs is Audrey II

This show is not worthy of roman numerals in the title. I see it has also befallen the usual afterthought planning of no matches announced 2 weeks out.

Man, 4 and 5 weren't even really Die Hard movies. Just action movies with the McClane's in them. And I only put 3 above 2 because Irons decided to chew every fucking piece of scenery in 3 like Rickman did in 1 rather than play it straight like Sadler and Amos did.

If Jedi Temple Challenge is like a modern version of Nickelodeon's Legends of the Hidden Temple or Guts then I think it's fine.

It is truly bizarro world when guys with a 102 ERA+ last year, that have never thrown 200 innings, will be 30 the first month of the first year, of the contract, that give up a lot of hits...get $24m a year.

TNT is in the business of selling their product. Do you think they're worried about a minority of nerds who follow ratings or viewership statistics? It's the same thing as box quotes for garbage movies and video games. I don't even give a shit when WWE promotes their stupid shit on their shows like when they point out how they were the most followed bullshit on social media or whatever and that's WWE promoting that shit, not USA or Fox. It's all just really silly.

No one really knows. The best guess is the doghouse for Jimmy's drinking.

You have a good excuse - he's only wrestled on TV once, to job to Raul Mendoza on NXT. He'd also been languishing at the PC and on the Florida loop for three years prior, so I'm not sure going back to being a wrestler is going to work out for him. Presumably still in trouble for their refusal to stop getting drunk and running into the police.

I disagree about putting Spears over Sonny Kiss. I think Spears' best chance to be any kind of draw has passed him by already, and he should really be the number two guy in Tully's stable, behind... someone else. Whereas Sonny could potentially be a big deal down the line, because he can do spectacular things on offence, and get a lot of sympathy while selling. A modernised Ricky Morton type, basically. I can see Brandon Cutler joining the Dark Order down the line. Guy actually has some skills in the ring, but between losing all the time and having a geeky gimmick (and being too tall to have that Underdog you can root for factor), he needs to change up somehow.

NSFW but suitable for Christmas as it's Die Hard (1988):

You can have an exhibit in the hall for a player without inducting them. Do that for the 90s players on the juice. Do that for Rose. Do it for 80s drug players (doc, straw, ...).

Abby vs Sika from Amarillo 1977.

This justifies my recent cancellation of the Network, which was mostly a reaction to the crappy policies of the WWECorp. I'm gonna be a-diggin' those boxes of tapes and DVDs out of the basement soon. I will miss seeing certain workers (Cesaro, Asuka, Velveteen Dream, Ciampa, et al) but this really clinches it. My missing $10 a month won't matter to them, and it is a paltry gesture on my part, but it is important to me. subscriber since the beginning but NO MORE, RAF

Whodathunk Johnny B. Badd would join the nWo?

The Young Pistols were Tracy Smothers and Steve Armstrong.
