WHUT?! I'm fucking dying over here.

Hey Hey Hey Your opponents blood stains On the front of your sister’s braids I knew no one could beat you They’d get suplexed and kicked in their face Forehead indented with your shoelace The smell of the mat as they fall down I knew when y’all collided You're the one I have decided who's future women’s champion Hey, Swole Sister Ain't that your big Sister on the tv, or is it no relation? The way you kick ain't fair, the match is done Hey, Swole sister I don't want to miss a single move you do Your matches are so fun Hey Hey Hey Just in time I don’t know your finishing move to complete this rhyme Your matches are perfection Your tag team connection we can't deny Pretty cool stuff Like Mortal Kombat you’ll rip a spine right out a chest I believe in you, like a Dentist, you're Michal Jordan And I'm gonna watch your match Hey, Swole Sister Ain't that your big Sister on the tv, or is it no relation? The way you kick ain't fair, the match is done Hey, Swole sister I don't want to miss a single move you do Your matches are so fun The way you can cut a promo Winning your matches, you don’t need luck You’re a wrestler, I'm a mark You're the best in the tourney and your gimmick doesn’t suck You’re in the Swole family Sorry Brandi, not sure if I can say family Or can I not say sisters? Hey, Swole Sister Ain't that your big Sister on the tv, or is it no relation? The way you kick ain't fair, the match is done Hey, Swole sister I don't want to miss a single move you do Your matches are so fun Hey Hey Hey Wednesday night Hey Hey Hey Dynamite

That's pretty metal.

I support this and hope Natural Born Killaz plays the whole time.

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.

It's funny that I have all of these at my disposal on the WWE Network in probably higher quality but I would give anything to go back and flip through the tapes at my local video store. Whether it was a new video or one I had seen ten times... so many fond memories.

Oh FFS ?

This band is way more hardcore. I’d link you to the original song, but I’m not sure if you’re ready for something this extreme.

Been really digging Rebels, currently about a third through season 3. I love the crew and that they mostly are off doing their own thing. Sure people like Vader or Leia periodically show up, but most everything is happening adjacent to the main Star Wars story. At this point, that's what I really want from Star Wars stories...show me what else there is in the galaxy. That said, I do love when we get some updates on what's happened to places since the Clone Wars ended. I especially loved seeing what happened to the Twi'leks and the episode where they encounter the still functioning droids was great. I missed those things, they grew on me a lot during Clone Wars.

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

47 according to Cagematch.

“This might be the greatest post in the history of our messageboard” - Tony Schivone on seeing Octopus post.

Also, Chopper is the best droid in all of Star Wars, I will not hear any argument.

I laughed so hard at "and FUCKING barbecue sauce!".

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.

Babatunde looking legit scared of Shayna Baszler is the only thing you should take from this Raw.

And in defense of Retribution being geeks -- How many of you have ever encountered super far-left anarchist types? I've met my fair share over the years. Imagine being at a party and having someone talk to you about the evils of capitalism. They can get really insufferable very quickly. And, also, despite the dog-whistling of ANTIFA in recent months, the people I've known who have gotten involved in all of that stuff have tended towards scrawny vegans who are truly not scary at all. The casting of them being undersized, irritating dorks is pretty spot-on. I am also going to view Retribution as proxies for the worst among us -- the fans who say that there is nothing on a show the WWE does right, will not dare take anyone who disagrees with their point of view, and yet still watches every second of WWE programming. They're getting retribution on YOUR behalf but you will still hate it.

Gods I hate his smug face and wish to smack it several times with the print out of a medical journal article on the organ damage this virus is causing people of all ages.

This is a fantastic match. Cholak is a beast.

The surge of Discord is hilarious to me as for most purposes it's just "a message board, but worse". It's good if you ever need to use a mic though.

I mean, tna had her as a heel, had her do a pre ppv show segment where she discussed her father dying during 9/11 and then be a heel again on the ppv. But, well, tna.

You should be so lucky this board still exists. The metal boards I used to be on are all dead as a doornail.

Or why a comment regarding an event from a chat room even made it here. Who the #$%^ cares? I mean... im from an old school mid 90s irc #wrestling chat... but we all acknowledged ourselves as being goobers.

If there was ever a career defining match in WWE outside of a Mania, this match should be at the top of the list. Eddie Guerrero had toiled for years in Japan, ECW, WCW, and then WWF/E, and had never even sniffed the top title. No one ever doubted his talent, but he never fit into the plans really, or he got hurt at very inopportune time. Well, this time, the cards fell right, Brock had given his notice, Eddie was the next guy up. Even after he won, I seem to recall a decent sized crowd saying he was going to be a transitional champ and would probably drop the belt to the new top heel in Kurt Angle. Kurt for his part had made a miraculous comeback the previous summer. He was widely expected to be out for a year, with some very real talk that his career was completely over. The 'miracle' of his comeback was that he'd gotten a much less invasive surgery than was recommended and went to a guy who very quickly was proven to be a quack. (But we'd learn about that after this.) Anyway, they essentially ran a lighter version of the HHH-Booker feud from last year, because... yeah... Anyway, it's no less racist to say "drug addicts" when referring to a Latinx person than the previous year's slop. So we get to the action in ring and we're getting "hyper focused" Angle, which judging by the date means he'd mixed his percocet with adderall correctly. Basically, they're going for Eddie doing everything to prove that he's not a paper champion, and Kurt just toying with him, like a cat playing with a mouse. Basically Eddie starts gaining a head of steam on offense Kurt would just suplex the living fuck out of him. Once Angle was fully in control, he moves in for the kill, and starts ankle locking him and when that doesn't work, goes for the good ol' Angle Slam. Eddie (kayfabe) was doing everything in his power to keep up with the meaner, more focused Angle. He hit a FUCKING swank DDT out of an Angle Slam to start the final sequence. He followed the DDT with a frog splash that EVERYONE thought was the finish... except for Angle, of course. Kurt slapped on another Ankle Lock which led to Eddie kicking him out of the ring and making a VERY big deal about how hurt his ankle was. He loosens his boot and continues to wildly oversell so that when Kurt recovers and sees it, the bait is set. Eddie visibly says "Oh shit" and I'm grinning because I know what's coming. Angle bought the sell, hook, line, and sinker, and sprints in to apply the ankle lock again.... only to have Eddie's boot come off. In Angle's confusion, he stupidly walks into an inside cradle (and a nice rope hook) and Eddie retains and the crowd goes berserk. As the Brits would say, very cheeky! Eddie would go on to hold the belt for a few more months before dropping it (via Angle interference) in the summer. As I read it, the pressure of being the top dog was just too much for Eddie and he asked to drop the title. Kurt apparently had been in blinding pain as the shocking miracle cure, just was a load of bull followed up with a load of painkillers. He'd semi-retire again and become Smackdown GM after this match. The match itself was fantastic though a hair shy of perfection. But the crowd absolutely adored Eddie because in many ways, even though he was roided up to the gills and did crazier things than most would ever dream of... Eddie may have been the most -- human -- WWE Champion ever. End of Day 61.

I must admit, I'm 38 and have NO idea what the hell this means. lol

Warrior Wrestling breaking the 'second half of 2020' attendance record while maintaining social distancing: Dezmond Xavier casually levitating his way to the ring.

World Pro Wrestling had the coolest opening. So much '80s.

Aces and 8's look like killers next to this "Retribution". Actually, I'd say that whole thing was 10x more thought out than this appears to be..

There you are.

Hard to see, but it would appear Rumble 92 is in stock while WMIX is not. Questionable renting decisions. But based on what’s in stock, seems like this was around Summer 1997? What an awesome time to be a fan.

I see the face locker room not intervening because they know that being heroic is a test. Faces want to act honorably. But they also know that there are many people who don't. You will fight those people and you will suffer and get hurt by those that act underhanded. You will not always be appreciated for doing what is widely perceived to be the right thing. But if you can take this pain and cruelty and you still want to come back, against all odds, to get revenge for your beloved father... Congrats, kid. You now know what you're going to face your entire career. It's not easy. It's an uphill battle. And there's more of this pain to come. I also loved a lot of how that segment was shot. They didn't do something where Dom was handcuffed to the ropes. He was tied into the ropes and posed like he was on the cross. He could do nothing but take the beating of his lifetime. But it's what he has to endure on his quest for justice. I doubt they had any intentions behind that, but it definitely looked a lot different than how they film a lot of heel beatings.

There were quite a few good segments on this show but the thread here is quiet which means either everyone has completely checked out on RAW (understandable) or shit like Retribution is so bad that it overshadows the good... I watched on DVR which makes this a better experience. I fast-forward through anything I'm not interested in.

Tenille wasn't the only one. After seeing that I stopped caring about the women's division and soon after ROH itself. It's a shame what they've become, especially when thinking about the women that worked there before. As for stuff worth caring about I liked last week's episode. I haven't cared much for Swann but man did he make one helluva speech. I liked that the wrestlers came out but as soon as Rich went up the ramp you knew what was going to happen. And while I want to see Kylie go for that title I do love Wrestle House a ton. I'm hoping for at least a couple more weeks of it before they go back to a more normal setting.

I still have a ways to go to catch up with @Andrew POE! but I got my first ever Platinum yesterday! To be fair, the Ghost of Tsushima platinum is easy if you are someone that already visits everywhere, which I always do in open world games. But normally these games have something extra grindy that makes me handwave it since I don't care too much about trophies. In this case, after I beat the game I had three left I had to look up, but it took me about 15 minutes to get them since the fast travel is so friendly. And since I'd never gotten one, I figured I was overdue. Great game though, highly recommended. I tried some Fall Guys last night since it is free on PS, no server issues so they may have tweaked it (or playing late on a Monday night helped). I have no idea if it has long-term viability, these things are hard to predict and will likely require them making new stages somewhat regularly. I played about ten games, never won but twice made it to the last race so for a newbie I felt I did ok. I laughed quite a bit, its a funny game but I don't know if it something I'll play much or would have paid for.

Nicole Savoy is a bad fucking dude, and I wish they would have just let her be herself, instead of being "Lil Swole". She's almost a head taller than Monroe, anyway. Also, nice touch on her wearing the VFIII armband for Virgil Flynn. Rache Chanel could be a whole lot of fun with some more work under her belt. Whatever the fuck that character is, she absolutely understands it. I think it's real fucking dumb, but she is working it real well. She throws strikes like she means them, or doesn't understand how to work them. A little bit of fine-tuning could go a long way with her. Maybe she can learn some Euro style matwork, and use the heavy shots as exclamation points.

Priscilla Kelly has confirmed that she and Darby Allin are going through a divorce. So all the sleazy incel gits who cried about Tegan Nox coming out can have (false) hope in their pathetic hearts once more.

Andre had way too much respect for Vince Sr. to double cross his son.

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.

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.

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.

Even billiards...
