Video store memories

I didn't know about these Mean Gene outakes until the Kamala thread. I feel as though I've waited my whole life for these:

2020 is Manami Toyota driving Rina Yamashita to a violent and bloody deathmatch in Ice Ribbon on the back of a Harley. See Manami could have been in Sturgis over the weekend, and she instead decided to do this so a woman can beat the shit out of another woman with countless lighttubes. She's a responsible human being.

47 according to Cagematch.

Rollins is a guy who, even when you understand what he's trying to say, does such a bad job of presenting his case and almost always comes off bad as a result.

I think this picture works much better

It is pretty shocking, really, that Sid was never cast as at least a henchman in some Arnold or Stallone movie. The dude had an amazing look.

He's actually a textbook case. Between his age, weight and all the other debilitations he'd endured, he was super vulnerable to it. That's why people need to do the right thing and take precautions.

Lots of boymen who would never have had a chance complaining that they'd lost their chance, yes. There was an incel in AEW+ Fite chat last week. He was telling us all how nobody really likes Women's wrestling, they just pretend to because they think it will get them laid. And he said there were no good looking women in AEW anyway, and a few other things. But then someone called him an incel and he didn't deny it, and suddenly the whole chat room was making fun of him for being scared of girls and how the last time he touched a ladies boobies he was being breastfed (that's the clean version) and he got upset and went off to cry or something.

the kicker is that there's a lot of truth in what he's saying. of course, what he's NOT saying is definitely more interesting. long-form storytelling IS a lost art [in WWE]. the [WWE] audience doesn't appreciate slow burn angles [due in large part to WWE hot shotting angles to pop ratings, the decline of long term booking, angles being dropped with little/no/disappointing payoff, and ramifications being seemingly nonexistant.]

This gif is massive and I tried to cut out as much superfluous shit as I could but you gotta see Julius Smokes sell the Ole Kick from Joe. Smokes was incredible. That's some WB cartoon type selling shit that puts D-Von's leg shakes to shame.

This one is absolutely wonderful as well.

you can easily guess where Kamala was from based off his accent

There is nothing more enriching in life than a pro wrestling chat room.

She needs to ditch the gimmick. She works stiff.

The Headshrinkers had very interesting theme music. And, now, all these years later, I realize that their name was really poor, as headshrinking (And, yes, I did google this!) was a staple of Amazon-area tribes and not really a Samoan practice. Just real shit work by WWF creative.

The real highlight of that tag team era was The Headshrinkers... until they started wearing shoes. Man they couldn't buy a win once they started wearing shoes.

Yeah! Give Trevor Lawrence myocarditis to own the libs! Fuck. Just end this already. (And this is going to be 10x worse when it's the NFL's turn to cancel the season in about 2 weeks.)

I am assuming everyone is scrambling because Harbaugh released all his "facts" and the only man who can dispute them is Scott Steiner

WCBA #6 is the PUNK issue, and all the stories in this issue are about punk wrestling or punks in wrestling or wrestling in punk.

Jeffery, break out Lucile.

Late 90/Early 91 - Lundgren doesn't want to do the sequel. Rather than jump from WCW to WWF, Sid does the sequel. Maybe we get a Sid/Freddie Mercury collaboration. Movie makes a modest return and gets relatively good reviews for what it is. Think TMNT II. Probably does well enough off the merchandise points to not need to wrestle again. But importantly the movie does better than Suburban Commando. Hogan constantly angles to do business with him. You probably get Sid vs Hogan a year earlier and maybe at 8 anyway. Sid wins the first one and then Hogan gets his win back and retires. Sid then goes on to make Sliver instead of Billy Baldwin and ends up having amazing sexual chemistry with Sharon Stone instead of trying to stab Arn Anderson.

I love Onita/Goto vs. Nagasaki/Kurisu.The match seems so out of control.Kurisu is most unlikely looking crazy man I have seen.

Thought Dasha looked good given her limited experience. I know this isn't great praise but she way way better than Brandi.

Corino drops yet another pint for the cause.

Really interesting timing that Dasha's part of this. For one that's awesome as she was thinking about it when it was brought up on Jericho's podcast. And her last appearance on Titan Games was last night where they kept saying she's a former wrestler. So I'm curious to see what she brings to the table but she at least has one helluva partner. Unfortunately it seems obvious to me that Diamante and Ivelisse will move on though I will be rooting for Dasha/Rachael.

"LISTEN UP YOU SHORT MOTHERFUCKER!" I fucking died. As always, the Dark Order shit is the best. Uno, Brodie, Silver, everyone is hilarious. "You fuckin' throw like a BITCH!"

I am just Lee Trevino in Happy Gilmore right now, shaking my head.

Today is my first day back at school, and its first official year as a teacher.(Last year was an emergency hire/student teacher.) Its nice to have a job, but I could have used another week or two of vacation, but then can't we all?

In other words, “We’re getting killed for this and now we’re having second thoughts.”

Personally, I blame @Casey.

A number of reporters have quoted anonymous sources who have said as much, so, yes, it’s definitley a factor in at least some members’ decision making. That’s why a bubble approach isn’t happening. The moment you move the players off campus (the only way you could do it), you’re acknowledging that they aren’t really student athletes, and the facade of amateurism really starts to crumble.

Lots of players tweeting that they want to play including Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields. Lawrence really does make a good argument for playing. The problem with his argument that he would be safer in a controlled environment then at home is: 1. They are allowing students in the school so nothing is really controlled. They are the people to be worried about. If college football is extremely important then maybe they should just bubble all of the players and shield them from every one else. Just use them as they really are and not treat them as student 2. You have a coach who is in complete Jesus mode who either believes the virus is crap or that it is serious and you could pray it away

Sasha Banks.

Kamala was honestly very good at getting the maximum out of an audience reaction with very little, especially while the gimmick was fresh. His strengths were timing, selling, facial expressions and he could milk all that shit. Listen to these people go nuts for everything Atlas does.

RIP Kamala. One of the funnier musical shooters too.

Double Hell with the Kevin Sullivan collab. VOLUME ONE!

Sitting outside of my local coffee shop, on a back porch and a padded chair. It started raining hard. Luckily I have a small roof right over my spot. Not wet, no one around. Gonna wait this out a relax. A good day for coffee.

Man, if it was the first live concert I'd be going to in months, it sure as fuck wouldn't be Fozzy. Then again, I'm sure those people would say the same thing about me wanting to see Silversun Pickups, Tegan and Sara, Metric, or Run the Jewels.

Middle-aged managers just couldn’t go a year without their Peter Fonda/Jax Teller LARPfest?
