Phantom Lord

"Assorted forms of MURDER" Isn't one of the Graham brother's supposedly Vince's favorite wrestler ever? Jerry I think. This is how they should book Cesaro. Just have him murder people.

So here in NYC and the surrounding area Pro Wrestling Syndicate has a fun little show/infomercial on at 4:30 in the morning on Ch. 10/55 in Long Island. Eddie Kingston was on the show last night and did this hilarious bit where he was going through this guy Chris Pyle's phone and he had all these modeling pics of Tessa Blanchard (She's Pyle's manager) and he keeps deadpan asking him "are you hitting that...does her old man know you're hitting that". I could not stop laughing. The show's so low budget and is using the old ECW Hardcore TV format (clipped matches, cheesy backstage/locker room promos, ect). Sam Roberts has been on the last two shows and is doing some sort of heel commentator gimmick. Well worth DVRing. I really like this guy they have as PWS Champion names Mario Bokara. The Croation Sensation. Does a shooter character kinda like that one Santino did in OVW way back when. He would be something fun in TNA trying to break guys arms.

I watched The Interview last week. I thought it was pretty funny. Also pretty dumb, but there were plenty of laugh out loud moments. I watched The Package with Gene Hackman and Tommy Lee Jones yesterday. It's one of those Hackman movies he made that you didn't even probably knew was made. Came out in 89 and is another one of those Gene Hackman military thriller movies. It's about factions in the American and Soviet armies who want to kill the Soviet Premier on a trip to America where some treaty to eliminate nuclear weapons will be signed. It was on Encore yesterday so I assume it will be on the loop of movies shown. Not bad for a sunday afternoon when there's nothing on. It's a shame Hackman retired from acting. He could still be doing some great roles as evil ceo's or something. But he enjoys writing books now.

It didn't happen in the WWE? I wouldn't mind seeing it either. Tommy chain wrestling is always amusing to watch.

He's gonna turn out to be the brains behind the BDC. You know they would do that.

Show should be in an Andre The Giant special attraction role where he only takes one bump a match now. I don't need to see Big Show taking top rope slams like Ric Flair.

Priorities in the WWE, ladies and gentlemen. Well Vince is a creature of habit. He only books things for his joy and amusement. I could see him being all DAMN IT THIS RUINED THE ENTIRE SHOW.

The WWE is weird. There's plenty of tough guys named Tony. Granted they are not Swiss, but they are tough. I listened to the show earlier and it echoed most of my thoughts on Roman winning. Roman might be the mega star they want in three or four years but he is no where near ready right now.

Other than an appearance at a Paris house show, that was it for him in WWF, yeah. He did a bunch of house shows in Europe, where they reprised the same finish of Andre helping Bulldog defeat Earthquake. I wonder if any of those were filmed, because I'm pretty sure Quake never ate a pinfall on TV, at least not during that run (he passed out in the Million Dollar Dream and got counted out against Hulk, but that's about it). I recall a MSG house show where Andre I believe nailed Quake with his crutch, distracting him enough so that Jake The Snake could hit the dtt and get revenge for having his snake squished, but I don't recall exactly where in this time frame it fits in. I know there was a WWE Old School episode with that show. I think it was sometime in the spring of 91 in May I think. So was the WWF going to do an Earthquake/Andre match was that never going to happen? Andre kept on wrestling in Japan and Mexico because of the money. Would Andre have put Quake over in a "final" WWF match or would they have let him go out on top. Either way five minutes to build up to Andre's one bump...his elbow drop.

Yeah this would be a hell of a time do a Elimination Chamber match. Maybe they could redesign it so they can eliminate all those concerns about it being too big to hang from arena's and transportation costs. It doesn't really need the steel grating surrounding the ring. That would solve a problem right off the bat. But it's probably for the best. Ambrose would be crazy enough to climb to the roof and drop an elbow on everyone.

I am surprised Moffat has never done this on Doctor Who yet. I have the show on the DVR. I wasn't expecting much but it sounds like Paul Heyman once again is making his case for Sainthood.

I know I was like I'm so morally conflicted over this. I love America and I should never root for Russia, but Rusev, Lana, and Judo Master Putin are just so awesome.

I just realized something. Paul Heyman is going to incinerate Roman Reigns during the next two months. Unless Rock is coming back to manage him...even if Heyman phones in his promos he'll still torch Roman. DO THESE PEOPLE NOT THINK???

I just like how Vince clearly is the type who would rather let his company burn to the ground than ever admit he was wrong and give the people what they really want. Bryan honestly got lucky last year cause you know he would have eventually lost the title to Orton. I get that Vince is probably in the last throws of his run and hes desperate to have one last mega star. He made Hogan, Austin, Rock, Cena. He wants one more and he's pegged Roman Reigns to be that guy. Reigns has the look but he has none of the talent. Reigns is a product of the WWE cookie cutter machine. He doesn't adapt or pull audibles. If you see one Reigns match you've seen them all. And they think he's going to get cheered against Brock? HA.

THE PEOPLE WILL GET WHAT I WANT AND THEY'LL LIIIIIIIIIKKKKKKKKKKKKEEEEE IIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTT.

Yeah but she didn't win. That's what I was getting at. I know Daughtry didn't win either, but I forgot Hudson was even on Idol. My point was almost everyone who has won Tough Enough has gone on to be a bust in one way or another.

Well the last version of Tough Enough ripped off Hells Kitchen with the eliminations. There's a newsbit about it being like American Idol with people being voted off by viewer votes. That can be a really slippery slope for them especially if they push one guy and he goes out early. Honestly I don't have much faith in Tough Enough simply because almost everyone involved who's won has never done anything in the WWE. Like the last guy his highlight was "he had to pay his dues" and they had him taking ticket stubs at FCW/NXT shows. It would be interesting if it's actual established Indy wrestlers on the show. But if it's just a regular casting call for the WWE's usual cookie cutter types I wouldn't hold out hope for success. Then again under Idol except for Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, and maybe Chris Daughtry they haven't had many big sucesses either.

You know what might work for them. Spike Piledrivers. They start trying to take people out. It's been years since the WWE has run a good spike piledriver angle.

Now this guy OTOH... It's a shame Dink died, because he legit looks like Sami Zayn's dad with that ginger beard. I just want that shirt because that is awesome. Also I never noticed it but Vince is totally Mr. Roper. He needs more plaid pants and tan leather jackets though.

Probably just cause they didn't have that long of a run as a top tag team. They started as a team in late 91, right? 1992 was a magical year for WCW. Possibly its best year just in terms of awesome wrestling. I personally loved them as a team but Barry had to eventually turn. Thinking about it, the whole NWA thing really mucked things up for WCW. Sure it was great to see unified world tag team champions and Barry eventually winning the big one. They could have done all of that with just the WCW Titles.

HUH WHAT...Nah Vince NXT is still like it was when you killed ECW. You remember how good that felt right? What the fuck is wrong with you It was said in Triple H's voice. God, don't take everything so literally. See Vince ended ECW on SyFy and created NXT in its place. Thus the joke.

HUH WHAT...Nah Vince NXT is still like it was when you killed ECW. You remember how good that felt right? The kay fab thing is amusing though. They'll break character to show they aren't heartless bastards but they'll get pissed if someone does it in public. Remember when poor Kane had to wear his mask everywhere. Dude just wants to go to Pottery Barn and he's in a polo shirt, Khaki's, and the mask and wig.

Man seeing the NWO then DX and the APA in the same ring. I've gone back to 1997. There's so many things I need to warn people about... Wait...it's 2015? SON OF A BITCH. So I missed the first half of the show since I was asleep. I saw the Flair thing afterwards and I don't care if his body looks about 120 years old and he sweats more than Big E. It's always fun seeing him go old man crazy. Can't believe he didn't go for the Barron Von Bobbit claw hold. It was nice of HBK to get out of what ever duck blind he was in to be on the show though. Big Show should have punched him and finally fixed that googly eye of his. After the ending of the show, they should have had Cena lose. Brock vs. Seth is the money match here. Cena is a third wheel that will steal a victory.

SEE...This is the kinda stuff that should be on the Network. Every week a different superstar tackles food on the road. Dinners, Drive In's, & Dives just with out Guy. Throw a Diva they're not doing anything with and we can finally get Dean Ambrose's hobo meal secrets.

Lanny's just one of those guys who likes to talk a lot. Reading all that all he had to say was "Randy had standards and he wasn't going to ruin a girls reputation if something happened" But like I said, Lanny's one of those guys who likes to talk and he'll spend two hours explaining something that could have been summed up in a minute. He is a poet after all.
