Thanks! It's 12/22/91 MSG if anybody wants to add it to the watchlist. Their search function has really improved...I just entered "Hogan" "Flair" "Madison." Speaking of curfews, my worst curfew story was when I saw my first Great American Bash tour show in July of 87. The main was Dusty vs Tully in a barbed wire match and the show had been running long by that point. It was getting close to 11pm and Capetta announced that they'd "struck a deal with Arena management to extend the curfew." The crowed popped for it but we knew we'd been lied to when Dusty hit Tully with a gimmick and pinned him less than a minute in.

Pretty sure they're ghillie suit pants and yeah, they look like shit.

God damn. Best dip that shit in some Tarn-X.

In the days when WWF would run house shows in the same towns every month or so, they'd run the main event before intermission so they could announce the main event for the next show at intermission and start selling tickets right away. For example, maybe Hogan vs One Man Gang would be the main event and the match would be the last before intermission. They'd fight to a double countout or maybe Gang would be DQ'd. Then they'd announce a rematch INSIDE A 15 FOOT HIGH STEEL CAGE next month with tickets, conveniently, on sale now at the arena box office. As a poor youngster, I always marveled at the ballin'-ass motherfuckers who would go buy front row seats right then and there.

Jersey Kidd ("laughs for other reasons"), ripclawe. Man, this is taking me back. I'm trying to resist the temptation to change my avatar to an Alizee gif.

Rude was right, it really is an upper body business.

I would love to see ADR and Paige on Kitchen Nightmares once his restaurant starts to go downhill. They might be better than that lunatic couple in Arizona.

Oh ADR. Never heard the expression, "want an investment sure to lose money? Open a restaurant." Between the Paige relationship and this, 2016 is a banner year for bad decisions. I take it all back if "open a restaurant" means he's buying into a franchise and Paige is working there for free.

Considering Doc's general demeanor, cocaine would explain so much.

Wait, was Attack of the Clones the one with the Anakin/Padme romance montage, where horrible CG Anakin surfs a horribly CG'd animal and uses his force powers to...cut some fruit (and the size of the slices changes mid-shot because of poor quality control)? Because that movie was dog shit too. And as @J.T. mentioned, R2 being able to fucking FLY but never being able to again was the dirt worst. Revenge of the Sith was the best of the prequels but that is the very definition of damning with faint praise. I mean, I'd rather be kicked in the balls than be shot or stabbed.

I wrote that one!

Oh yeah, for sure there are pieces of what could have been a good movie in there had it been in another set of hands. The things you pointed out are absolutely the high points. The "Trade Federation" plot was a steaming pile of shit and nobody can tell me there was no better way to explain Palpatine's rise to power. I mean, it's cool to see political intrigue and the backroom gamesmanship that comes with it, but it goes together with a Star Wars movie like a turd in your burrito. When the hero blasts the villain with "looks like your trade franchise is finished!" to end the film, you know something went horribly wrong somewhere along the line.

The only time the "escape the cage" thing works is if your babyface beats the heel to death and leaves with a disdainful "I'm done with you, motherfucker" vibe. Otherwise, yeah, why would "being faster at escaping a fight than the other guy" end a feud?

Exactly. Dildo Blender and Glass Coffee Table are the only ones I even remember.

Somewhere in season 4 of Louie.

I caught Star Wars Episode 1 on TNT last night because I'm a fucking masochist. It can't be overstated what a bad movie and a horrible disappointment this was. Sweet Jesus, it really was George Lucas indulging all his worst instincts with no sane people or budget limitations to reign him in. And god damn the CG looks bad. I didn't realize the movie is 17 years old and was absolutely not meant to be shown in HD until I saw various aliens, most glaringly Sebulba, looking like shiny rubber or straight-up cartoons. The difference between CG characters and humans was so vast I might as well have been watching Roger Rabbit.

Give it time. Remember, Hassan & Daivari's original gimmick was, "we're Americans born and raised and we're sick of how we've been treated since 9/11" to "FUCK IT WE'RE TERRORISTS ALLAHU AKBAR LALALALA SUICIDE BOMBINGS ALL DAY." This is not a company that does nuance. Vince left the trailer park but the trailer park never left Vince.

LOL @ Mahal's new thing. Vince never met a race-based gimmick he didn't like. It's why I'm really torn on New Day. They're great at what they do and are entertaining but once I heard "New Day is on TV so much because Vince loves New Day," all I could see was this old white guy guffawing at the wacky antics of his pet minstrel troupe.

"We're don't want you making money anywhere else on the name you made here" is the most petty bullshit. It's one thing to create a whole new character and want to protect that IP, like Razor Ramon and that's the only situation where this is defensible. But changing just a guy's name when he joins the company just so he's not as recognizable when he goes back to his original name in a few years on the indies is head-shakingly scummy.

Meat Loaf on Jericho's podcast: "I would do anything for love, but I won't do that." "What's that?" "It" "What's it" "That!' "What's that?" "It" Repeat

Hacksaw Duggan going MacGuyver on a food processor and a dildo is the craziest shit imaginable for many, many reasons. I wish I still had the Dildo Blender jpg. That was some fine work. I could try to reproduce it but that would be like Da Vinci trying to redo the Mona Lisa.

Absolutely. I stuck with Homeland but the Brody shit strained credulity. It's gotten much better since they killed him off at least a season too late.

So the love affair with the great white hope Kirk Cousins is over? You mean to tell me that "winning record" where the wins all came over losing teams was a bit of a phony stat? I'm shocked, I tell you. Man, being a non-Skins fan living in the DC area is delicious.

Seriously believing Joe has any chance of being booked to beat Brock is the most inside the smark bubble shit ever. Unless Joe gets gastric bypass, a TRT exemption and some jheri curl,OR Vince's torn quad has complications causing his timely demise, it's not happening.
