Well all that plus, you know, what the fuck is the message supposed to be there? As mentioned...Austin vs Lita, sure, Lita was a combatant and it was in the context of a fight, sort of. Austin vs Kiebler was a babyface beating up a woman because she wouldn't have a beer with him. Holy fuck. This is the message they were sending: if a hot girl doesn't want your attention, doesn't want to hang out, whatever, then that bitch deserves a beating. Trailblazers for "nice guy" culture, there.
Vince is a fucking sociopath. All his babyfaces are assholes, nobody stays friends for long, and women better know their place.

The conversation was with himself as much as it was with the scholarship candidate. I think that was Jimmy understanding fully exactly what he told her: that once you've gotten a bad reputation in any way, the higher-ups in life will never ever accept you into their club, so fuck 'em. His sheer glee at the end of the episode when he told the court person he'd need a DBA for his license and that "'s'all good, man!" was Jimmy completely embracing who he really is. He's always been Saul and now he absolutely gets it. What an episode, what a season.
Bonus guest appearance by GALE'S NOTEBOOK. That's some attention to detail, there.

I miss seeing Mike Bailey in PWG.

From what I've been told by my friends that have done visits at the Performance Center for NXT tryouts, Steamboat curses up a storm there. Not kidding.
But it's cursing done in a nice context, like, "holy shit, dude? How's your god-damn family? Did your mom kick that fucking gout?"

Caught Solo on Redbox over the weekend. I liked it way more than I was expecting. Parts felt a little insubstantial but I laughed a lot and it was amazing how thoroughly fan-service-y the whole thing was, especially considering no fans actually wanted it in the first place. It didn't feel like an event, but it did kind of make me feel like I was 13 and playing X-Wing and reading Tales From the Mos Eisley Cantina or something.
I watched it over the weekend and really liked it much more than I thought I would have. I was kind of blown away by how good it actually was. I don't think Disney needs to dial back the "a Star Wars every year" plan based on this film's perceived failure. I think they need to can the guy who decided putting this out unhyped six months after the last one was a good idea.

To the surprise of no one - Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed that an annual Star Wars movie is over.
I think they would have been fine if they'd held Solo off until Christmas.

I like how the piano piece that kicks in about 1:07 into the trailer sounds like the opening of Shimmy Shimmy Ya.

When Jimmy was writing the letters and postcards, my first thought was, "Miracle on 34th Street!?"
What a fucking show. You know it's good when, even with an extended episode, you say NOOOOOO when the credits start.
The only word I can come up with for the Kim character is "inscrutable." We've just been guessing what's going on in her head all season but now we finally get it and holy shit. She's as addicted to the con as Jimmy but she's been fighting it until now. Going legit, doing pro bono work, separating herself from his business...but then she gets involved with one con and she's right back in. It's an addiction story. Man oh man.
Things are not going to go well with the Germans. I'm worried this is really going to bite Mike in the ass, as he's seriously going half-measure with this thing.
Poor Nacho. And holy fuck did I think that was going to be Tuco in the kitchen. Instead we get Mexican Steven Ogg with his crazy eyes.

My personal favorite was when Jim Ross would always put over that Mike Rotundo won the Punt, Pass, and Kick competition...when he was a child.
Like winning a football skills contest as a child was important in putting over that Mike Rotundo has a chance at regaining the NWA Television Championship from Sting.
On 9/22/2018 at 4:28 PM, Raziel said:I always chalked it up to Ross, and Watts actually, in Mid South having a Football Inferority complex, where the two of them always gushed about the football backgrounds of guys. Ross just never stopped, even when going through WCW and WWF/E, where there was always a hint from JR that guys weren't "legit" unless they had a college background, and any kind of Football made someone top tier immediatly, since of course Football is superior to all sports, so if you were "good" enough to make the Browns practice squad, that already started you ahead of someone that only wrestled in high schoold.
I always felt like Ross always wished he'd ended up working in football instead of in phony rasslin, and his commentary always bore out that resentment. Like, Stan Hansen was a bad motherfucker who held titles all over the world, but somehow he wasn't legit until Ross could mention his "playing for the Baltimore Colts" (he had a cup of coffee with the practice squad for fuck's sake).
I mean come on. In kayfabe, wrestling is an individual sport and should be tougher than football. Ross' constant fetishizing BY GAWD FOOTBAW made no damn sense.

God damn I hope @AxB went to Wikipedia to get the name of that guy. Someone knowing he name of a dude from Spandau Ballet in 2018 off the top of their head scares me. I can only name two Spandau Ballet songs and I would have only known one had not "Gold" been featured in GTA Vice City.

Gareth Evan's short in V/H/S 2 entitled Safe Haven is easily the best one in the movie and it stands on its own really well, so it is good to see him make another entry into Horror-ish territory.
Holy shit Safe Haven was so good -- I watched a torrent of the movie where Safe Haven had no subtitles and that still took nothing away from it. It's that good.

Rollins was put with Hunter and Stephanie, which is as safe a spot as you can get. Ambrose while not the priority the other two was, was still more protected than most of the roster.
Thanks, I forgot all about that

I remember him being pretty jacked when he wrestled as Leeakee or whatever the fuck his stupid name was in FCW. He was kind of flabby when he first started because he was still trying to shed his football weight (he was a lineman in college and in the CFL) but he lost that. There was a pic of him talking with Foley after a recent WM where he didn't have a shirt on and he still looked like he was in good shape.
I'd always heard it explained that Vince wanted Roman to keep the Shield gear and music so he'd get the Shield rub and, in theory, keep the Shield's momentum as an over act when they broke up. Essentially, "fuck those other two guys goddammit they can start from square one pal."
OR Vince just doesn't like those tiny nips

This is such a great show. Even though this is just a season of pieces being arranged on the chessboard, it's still so compelling.
I may have mentioned it here or maybe in the Westworld thread, but seeing this show develop is a great testament to staying off reddit. I checked these shows' threads from time to time and the wild speculation is so amateur hour. Everyone was anticipating some big event where Jimmy and Kim split, and what would eventually turn Jimmy into Saul. Everyone had wild theories. Everyone is throwing shit at walls. And in the end, what we got was something so much more true to life. I mean, I'll reserve a spot and say I'm wrong if there is some massive blow up down the line, but just seeing two different people grow apart is so much more real and great than "OMG some shit happened and they had a Megapowers explosion!!"
And "when does Jimmy become Saul?" Jimmy has always been Saul. Shit, he was eyeballing "Saul shirts and ties" in season one. The business cards are a nice "fuck you" to the viewers more interested in the destination than the trip, though. There really is a segment of the viewership expecting checkers when Gilligan is playing chess.

Actually I think Starrcade was originally an afternoon show, and they sold it on the idea that people could watch both shows on the same day. Vince then pulled the power play by threatening to pull all WWF shows going forward. 2-3 carriers called Vince's bluff and showed Starcade, Vince had forgotten about it by the time their next PPV rolled around.
1 minute ago, Betsy Zeidler said:Bullshit. Vince ran the first Royal Rumble for free on USA against the Bunkhouse Stampede finals. JCP fought back by running the first Clash against WMIV.
Survivor Series (1987) predates the Rumble (1988). You're both right but Rumble/Bunkhouse and Mania/Clash were the second and third shots in that war after Survivor/Starrcade. Then the cable companies told them to knock it the fuck off.
Or, if you believe Bruce Prichard (hardy har har), the cable companies asked Vince to come up with a Thanksgiving PPV.

A gritty Hoodslam type promotion I think would do well on Viceland. I'm surprised no one has tried to get a wrestling program on Viceland yet.
Well "wrestling" is pretty far down the dictionary. They're working their way through shows featuring "noun + weed."

The only thing she said that was even the slightest bit harsh was that he was a thief, I mean people are different so maybe he felt some sort of way about it but to me that's light. It was the championship final I think maybe he could have warned her about the game penalty that would be incoming if she didn't stop.
She browbeat they guy, demanded he apologize over and over while on the crowd mic, and told him he'd never ref another match of hers. She publicly berated an official. I'm just saying it's a little more than calling him a thief.

It was disappointing to see the ITF and WTA not back up an offical.
The NFL fines players and coaches who say anything negative about officiating.
7 hours ago, J.T. said:I do not feel badly for the official. It is fucking stupid to over-legislate any championship match.. Naomi Osaka didn't even get to claim a win due to her own skill because Carlos Ramos stole that from her as well as a point and a game from Serena. He could've diffused the situation, but chose not to.
How could he have "diffused" it? By giving in and apologizing, as she kept demanding he do? She's a player, he's an official. In what world does a ref publicly supplicate to appease an angry player? Her behavior was astonishingly arrogant and downright abusive.

But I do think there is a different reaction between being emotional after a loss and threatening to shove a tennis ball down the throat of a line judge for calling a foot fault really late in a match. Like... what is going to happen after saying that? No male player would get away with saying that, either.
Yeah, that's the distinction I'm making here...I'm cool with Cam not wanting to do press after the biggest loss of his career. He didn't insult or threaten anyone, promise they'd never ref a game of his ever again, or cite his kids as evidence of being beyond reproach.

Can't we just agree that everyone in this situation, save Osaka, is awful?
Institutionalized sexism and racism means that women, doubly so black women, in all walks of life, can't stand up for themselves the way men are allowed to. And that fucking sucks. A man can be an aggressive, bullying prick at a job and be hailed as a go-getter and a straight shooter. A woman does it and she's a horrible cunt.
At the same time, Serena has reacted this way a few times before and probably only did so to this extent because she was losing. This is the second time she's trotted out the "I have a kid" defense as some sort of shield against accusations of wrongdoing, which is awful (she used it against doping accusations a little while back). Having a kid and being shitty aren't mutually exclusive. And now she's doubling down and claiming she's fighting for women's rights, which probably gets more of a side eye than "I have kids!"
It's a shitty system she's in, and she reacted poorly. The judge was a jerk and so was she.

Well I already stopped watching Fear the Walking Dead after they did a rip n' replace of the whole cast and swapped out interesting plots for slow, ponderous bullshit. OG TWD might be next. This is how you start a season? Talky, dull, everyone is pissy at each other. I can already get that at my job. I don't need it in my entertainment, too.
