  1. I sent an email to that AOW thing and ended it with we miss him here posting as FSW since he was banned.
  2. Vince's sleep deprived texts at 3 in the morning must be insane. "HEY PAL, WHO DO I HAVE TO BLOW TO GET A GOD DAMN STEAK WRAP IN THIS SHITHOLE TOWN". Vince types in all caps because why not. After a day of letting it really set in, I still think the most damning stuff on the interview is everything about hsi health and how horrible the WWE doctors are. Yeah Punk comes off bitchy about the whole WM main event thing but I can see his point of view. If Wrestlemania is his companies super bowl, anything less than the main event is just pre game fluff. The main event is obviously the most money on the card so of course it would be your dream and goal to be in the main event. As for the money it self he does have legit gripes about the pay. At his peak he was easily number two behind Cena. He should have been making at least as much as Cena was. If I'm doing the same amount of work as Cena and pulling in just as much money I'd be pissed too if I wasn't getting the right share of what was being pulled in. But hey he gets to live the life now. We should all hope and aspire to make a few million and retire at 35.
  3. Hall was waiting for the Fabulous Ones to come over so they could sauna together, ride motorcycles topless, and do other things that straight guys totally do. Jeff Jarrett want's to tag along. He's totally ready for some bro horse riding. Also just Dusty for Dusty. Da original Stah Dust if you wheeeeel.
  4. Well that sure was something. I honestly don't listen to many podcasts because there's just so many of them. I hadn't listened to Colt in a while so I figured I'd give this one a shot. Man we all know that the WWE is run ass backwards at times but how can their doctor be that incompetent to let someone have a giant ball of staph on their back keep wrestling. How many Indy guys complain that they get staph because of the shitty rings they wrestle in that are never cleaned. You know how easy it is to spread staph. A few years ago my father almost died from a staph infection he got in a hosptial following a back surgery. He was on an IV for ten weeks to get it out of his system and these idiots were like "oh I can't touch that...ehh its fine". If they did that to Punk I really fear for anyone else in the company with a nagging injury of some sort that they say "ehh its fine".
  5. Rev, Creflo Dollar.
  6. Well there's always room for more. Wasn't there talk/rumors that Mark Henry would be the a member or leader of this proposed group?
  7. Maybe Intercontinental, but I don't think Vince or his surrogates would have trusted Jake to be a main event guy. Jake rekindling his feud with Savage in 92 would have been amazing though. Maybe it would have led to a cage match at Summerslam 92 instead of Savage/Warrior. As long as Ric Flair was there I don't see anyone else being the heel champion of the company. Jake winning the title sometime after Summerslam and then losing the match to Bret could have been interesting though. Did Bret and Jake ever have a one on one ever?
  8. I watched Two Weeks over the weekend for a paper on death and dying that I had to do for a class. Really good indy film with Sally Field who plays a woman dying of cancer and her children come back to see her and as the title implies, she takes a while to die. It's obviously a depressing film and it probably will hit really close to home for anyone who watched a loved one slowly die from any kind of cancer. But it's pretty good none the less if you can find it. Also watched The Rules Of The Game today in my film class. How have I never seen this film before today? Anyway it's an amazing film and its one my professor says you have to watch over and over to notice every little thing Jean Renior did. He said he's probably seen it maybe 50 times and he's still noticing little things. I can't imagine this film being made today. My professor (Forster Hirsch..if anyone might have come across his books) is a proponent of long shots and long takes. He really hates todays film style with it all being close up's and rapid editing. Had the party scene been done today it would have been a mess of close up's ruining some amazing one take shots.
  9. Secretly they are upset that she gets to sleep with him. I don't see AJ doing a female version of Punk's schitck. I just see her still doing the crazy chick act when she throws in some "reality" every now and then. I mean it's a PG show so she's probably limited to what she can say about the Bella's. I mean if they wanted to get shooty, AJ would say something like Nikki got her spot because of John Cena. AJ's more the snarky nerdy girl we all knew in high school who hates the plastics. She's essentially Lizzy Caplin in Mean Girls just dialed down.
  10. Well the real debut is on RAW next week. Smackdown is like a broadway preview. Rave reviews but no one probably will see it. So since Bryan was guest GM does this mean Smackdown will get it's own GM to compete with the omnipresent one on RAW? Someone has to make those tag matches you know.
  11. So I keep reading this news bit about how TNA will be going through another rebranding and reboot when they start on DA. So does this mean the six sided ring is gone again? Well what ever they do, they should really not tape almost three months worth of shows over the course of a week anymore. I barely had watched TNA in the last month simply because I read what happened like two months ago.
  12. Nah, Flair and Corino vs. Dreamer and Dusty at the ECW arena during the middle of Corino's feud with Rhodes would have been something else. So Flair/Duggan only happened once on some random WWF show. I would have guessed Duggan would of got a random world title match against Flair in the 80's in Mid South or some other NWA Territory he was in when Flair was champion. Flair would defend the title against the most random of people back then.
  13. Ric Flair vs. New Jack. There's a whole PPV right there.
  14. To be fair, too much bacon (I know...there is such a thing) can give you massive heart burn and indigestion. Just like TNA.
  15. If Flair won the ECW title from The Big Show in that bloodletting on ECW on SyFy we could have got Ric Flair vs. Sabu at Summerslam that year. EDIT: Now that I think about it, I think I wrote up some post on here about how TNA should build Bound For Glory in Detroit around Flair and Sabu. Have Flair run down The Sheik and stuff since TNA was doing a Fourtune vs. ECW feud at the time. So it could have happened there but this is TNA. Why would they want to throw a random match together that people might pay to see.
  16. Jamie Dundee is in the key demographic of Destination America. He'd be perfect to work a Jesse Pinkman gimmick in the X-Division.
  17. Well that's more Vince's mindset than anything else. Plus 2002 was the start of Triple H's Ric Flair cosplay that he did till like 2005. Honestly I'm surprised they didn't outright reform The Four Horsemen just for him (though Evolution was pretty close). It's great to see Ric Flair still be Ric Flair though. This match was right before Flair's body broke down. He still had a great head of hair, his skin hadn't lost that battle to gravity. Good times.
  18. Hillbilly Blood is a fun show on DA as well. It's basically two rednecks who Macguiver stuff like building a motorized scooter from a lawn mower engine and microwave parts for some cranky old woodsman. But I echo the above statements. TNA is in a desperate need to really rebrand themselves to stand out. I too would go full on souther rasslin. Lots of brawls, guys getting piledrived on the floor. Basically stop screwing around and make James Storm the top guy he should have been two years ago.
  19. Harley Race, Booker T, Anderson & Blanchard, and Bob Backlund. If I were born a day later I could have had Team Piledriver & Chicken Wings.
  20. Oh God I hope they don't sacrifice Rusev to Reigns on his return. Earlier I was thinking about the main event and how they could get around the whole LOLCENAWINS thing since they made it if his team loses, they're all fired. What if Team Cena up and turned on him and it just was a nine on one mauling. Arguments for this would be Ziggler is far more entertaining as a swarmy asshole. Sheamus (even though he's off the team) has been in dire need of a turn for a while because he's become smiling Irish Cena. And Ryback is better off on his own. Who cares about Big Show. Rowan probably would just stay with Cena anyway. Arguments against would be they have way too many heels to begin with. But I'm thinking if this is "the reality era", why not play off the fact that Cena left Ziggler, Show, and Sheamus to the wolves. One or more of his team mates just flipping him and leaving him to die would at least make things interesting. I know it won't happen but they really backed themselves into a corner with these stips.
  21. Oh man that sounds so awesome. It's a shame the WWE has no Cpl. Kirschner's or Sgt. Slaughter's for Rusev to beat up on and do something like that to them. Oh yeah when he did the surprise return to ECW after his stint in WCW and he was standing on top of the otherside of the ECW arena, he was in amazing shape. I still remember watching that on Sunshine Network or MSG at almost 3 in the morning and being like "Holy Shit Sandman's back and he's jacked". I miss The Sandman on television. Come on WWE make Sandman the RAW GM. Sandman drunken booking RAW matches would be amazing.
  22. I hate that they're going with a jealousy angle so quick. At least let it simmer for a while. The Miz/Mizdow showdown at Wrestlemania with Mizdow having his own Miz entrance would be amazing.
  23. I missed like the first half of the show because I fell asleep. Aside from a rather rushed Ziggler loss it doesn't look like I missed too much. Saw the tail end of Ryback vs. Cesaro. That was a fun match. THE BIG GUY has managed to do the impossible and come back to life after horrible WWE booking seemingly killed him dead. The Authority are the best non-faces in the company. I want to root for Mark Henry, Rusev, Harper, and Rollins. Stephanie and Triple H are essentially Dusty Rhodes in any number of loser leaves town matches where the numbers were against him. Assuming they lose (which less face it will probably happen), Steph and Triple H coming back as The Midnight Rider & Elizabeth Reed would be so amazing. There is no one redeeming thing about John Cena and wanting to see him win. Look what he did to his own team. He let them get slaughtered. He's worse than Hogan because at least Hogan would have run down to save them (after they got their asses kicked). Poor Grumpy Cat just wanted to sleep. I sympathized with her. The contract signing thing was so drawn out. Cena straight up buried everyone on Team Authority and it would be pretty funny if all the eliminations happened in that order. Rowan dropping the creepy backwoods guy thing to join Cena was pretty damn random (well I assume they dropped that). Fun brawl at the end but outside of Ambrose vs. Wyatt there is nothing really at The Survivor Series that I want to see. Plus these people still don't know how to market the network. ITS FREE. I wanna see the numbers for people who signed up for the free ppv and then cancelled soon after. Of course the WWE would spin it as LOOK AT ALL THESE SUBSCRIBERS.
  24. Buddy also aged better than Flair. He looks like a classy but still rich old man. I'm not sure what Flair looks like but it's neither one of those things. Flair looks like any old man at the dog track who just bet his social security check on Santa's Lil Helper because he wants to get his 92 Ford Tauras out of hock down at the Impound lot.
  25. I had this one pop into my head the other night after watching a bit of the Bockwinkel/Robinson match posted in the Omnibous thread. What if Nick Bockwinkle did the anti-NWO schitck that Larry Zbyszko did in WCW. Not so much as a commentator but they could have kept him as commissioner instead of putting a very bland babyface JJ Dillion in the spot. He would have been around 63 in 97 when Larry had the feud with Hall, Syxx, and Bischoff. We all know Nick kept himself in amazing shape and he still could very much go when he did that UWF-i exhibition with Billy Robinsion only a couple years earlier and the match with Dory Funk Jr. at Slamboree. As much as I like Larry, Nick Bockwinkle standing up for tradition would be so much more interesting since one he wouldn't resort to constantly calling the NWO the New World Oder. Doing the same same three matches with Syxx, Bischoff, and then Hall. Of course it was WCW so odds are things would have played out exactly as they did with Larry but at least we'd get some more Bockwinkel promos out of it.
