Good timing, considering FloSlam just randomly jacked up their own price ($29.99 per month? Seriously, guys?)
FloSlam is now more expensive per month than I pay for internet, and 50% more expensive than the core package on SlingTV. That's astounding.

What's with Big Poppa Pump Leo Kruger?! Good lord, he's gotta be at least 30 pounds bigger than during his Adam Rose run.

Also, no way was that Butler referenced in the story, as the article refers to the actor in questions as an A-lister. I really like Olympus has fallen but Butler is C list at best.
The moment you co-star in a movie with Katherine Heigl, you're instantly docked a letter grade.

Definitely Gerard Butler.
The entire cast of Spartans from 300 look like they were plucked from backstage at a late '80s WWF show. Herc would have been right at home in that flick.

More favorable foodstuff on which to take a bump: Cotton candy or popcorn?

Oh, no doubt @nate I think an inquiry into Hollywood steroid use would be stupid -- I also thought the baseball investigations were dumb and frivolous. I just find the rampant use of HGH and steroids in Hollywood fascinating, because those are so demonized in other areas of our culture, but people turn a blind eye to it in film. Hell, Rock left wrestling and got BIGGER in Hollywood. I should also note, I'm not accusing Pratt of steroid/HGH use: just saying that I evaluate Hollywood workouts with a healthy dose of skepticism.
Now, compared to baseball, wrestling's steroid investigation, well...given the way labor is treated in wrestling, and the Dr. Zahorian angle, that was far more justified.

I thought the same with regards to Jinder being a good guy. If he's more dedicated to his craft now, then I hope he achieves, and he has, a great deal of success. I just think that success came way too fast.
By the way, if you want an example for what someone should look like if they do what Jinder says he did, then look at Chris Pratt. PrattPrattPratt went from pudgy Andy from Parks and Rec to being in great shape as Star-Lord over the course of a year. He did that by cutting out beer, pizza, and other junk food and hitting the gym 5 days a week. What he wound up looking like over a year or a little under a year was someone pretty muscular and not pudgy looking. Jinder in that same amount of time went from looking soft to looking like Scott Steiner-lite. You don't achieve that much mass and that vascular look with diet changes and exercise alone. At least not in that span of time.
I don't know if I'd automatically assume an A-list actor is the best example of getting jacked naturally. There's almost as much gas in Hollywood as wrestling. This article's an interesting example: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/hollywood-steroid-use-a-list-609091
Pratt's almost as big as Big Dave here:
I don't mean to derail the thread, I've just found the HGH/steroid phenomenon in Hollywood fascinating, given that in other avenues (wrestling, baseball) it's led to government investigations.

Court Bauer mentioned that Delirious is like a son to Joe Koff and he pretty much has the job as long as Koff has his.
Ah. Kevin Dunn'ing his way up the ladder.

If this is indeed the case, it's a shame Bayley wasn't around and using an elbow drop during CM Punk's run.

1. The actual workers rarely have leverage in wrestling. I don't blame Kenny for using his when he had it.
2. Maybe I'm misreading, but it seems like Corny's making an assertion about King working for Chippendale's that's a bit ridiculous. My wife and her friends went to one of those revues in Vegas during a bachelorette party. It's a WOOOOORLD of difference from a strip club, much more comparable to any Vegas stage show than it is Spearmint Rhino. I'm with @Technico Support: wrestling is considerably more carny than that.
3. Holy shit, I guess I didn't really stop to think how long Delirious has had the book. It's been SEVEN YEARS this August.
He's AWFUL. RoH has some fun shows, but that's due to young talent working hard to impress the audience, and IN SPITE of shitty booking.

And God help me, I'm really starting to like Colt Cabana as the color commentator.
I can write a laundry list of things I dislike about Colt, but he has the ability to be an entertaining speaker when not forcing his comedy or acting passive-aggressively bitter.
And speaking of bitter!

I just watched that episode yesterday for the first time. I'm going to be chanting that for the next five minutes over here.
If he turns heel, he can poison his opponents.
Even comes with a ready-made whiny heel promo!

But what if this is the beginning of a stable? Flipadelphia as its leader, Birds of War in the tag-team division and The Trash Man as the group's heater.

Given his, uh...sizable reputation, I wouldn't be surprised to learn Ron Fuller was the original 7th Floor Crew.

I think you meant the Simmons/Luger build up, like the contract signing at the Clash?
Yes, Luger. Good catch.

I love that the original spinner belt said "Word Life" on the main plate.
Look at that monstrosity and ask yourself: How the FUCK was John Cena not a heel at the time?!

And you all forgetting Harley Race as manager makes me sad
I hate that this is the case, but the first two things that pop into my head when I think of Harley as a manager are:
1. the questionable promos building up the Vader-Ron Simmons match
2. Beach Blast '93 mini-movie

Who said it: Gallagher or Abe Simpson?
1) I don't ride side-saddle. I'm as straight as a submarine.
2) Well, I don’t think Katie Couric should have been the anchorperson for the news.
3) We can't bust heads like we used to. But we have our ways.
4) and then of course President Clinton ruined oral sex.
5) The metric system is the tool of the devil.
6) and they also don’t pay attention to what they’re wearing or how they’re standing.
7) The only real leader in America was David Stern.
8) There’s no vaudeville. Show business isn’t organized.
9) But that's America for you!
10) It'll be a cold day in hell before I recognize Missouri!
11) Detroit is drunken idiots.
What's awesome is were I not a hardcore Simpsons mark (or if I hadn't re-read the Gallagher bit this afternoon after posting it), I'd probably be stumped.

Sherri's also responsible for one of the best free TV moments WWE's ever done, singing back-up vocals for Angle on "Sexy Kurt," freakin' BUMPING, and TAKING THE ANKLE LOCK!

Bizarre press conference. Thad was definitely fired, Gene Smith was citing losing recruiting battles.
