BWOOOOOONG

The 80s were such a different time, man. It's all relative and we all bought into Vince's size queen bullshit. Watching old Manias today, it's glaring how huge the guys considered "small" back then were.

EXACTLY. I noticed that in one of his early Raw matches. He is 100% old school in that all his mannerisms are exaggerated as is he's "working for the back row." It really stands out as cool and different in a company where they're all taught to ignore the crowd and only work for the camera. What's the over/under on how long it takes Vince or He Who Shall Not Be Named to notice this and put the kibosh on it?

As long as they rewrite the ending, we're good. They can just have Odetta distrust Roland because she's crazy. Problem solved.

Exactly. I just listened to them on Jericho's podcast and it really came off like they were sick of flying back and forth to Japan constantly. So now they're paid well, working in their home country and, as you mentioned, they're in a major program. Oh noes, they're jobbing! That's what everybody in WWE does. Who cares?

Re Mr. Robot: Thank God Meryl Streep's daughter is getting work. I always worry about the children of A-Listers being able to find roles. It's hard out there.

Awesome, thanks. From the same match, he referred to the Andersons as "TWO MEMBERS OF THE DREADED FOUR HORSEMEN" which ruled.

That was great. "GOD DAMMIT YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO GET YOURSELF OVER." Gary Capetta was awesome. Did he start every intro with "wrestling fans..." or just the major ones? There was one guy who did the call for, I want to say, the Starrcade cage match between the Rock & Roll Express and the Andersons and he was insane. He took this deep hoarse breath between every other word. "Ricky (suck wind) and Robert (gasp) The Rock (suuuck) and Roll (gaaaasp) Express!" IIRC, he even added his own little flourishes, referring to the RNR as "THE VASTLY POPULAR."

Nashville was a guilty pleasure of mine...I don't even like country music and I have no idea if the main character was supposed to be sympathetic, because, as written, she was a horrible person. But it was definitely falling off a cliff and I won't exactly be sad to see it go.

And refuse to work in arenas the used styrofoam food containers and cups.

It's a safe bet considering the title of the book is "YES I FUCKED MACHO MAN OKAY?"

If you run the gif really slowly, you can see the point where his soul leaves his body.

Thousands of goths with parasols at Disneyland. We just wrote the plot for the next Tim Burton movie. Call Johnny Depp & Helena Carter.

So is she not going to work matches after she gets the belt? They gonna seal her in a lucite cube?

It's amazing that WWE booking and overexposure have gotten so bad that the best way to book someone as a top contender is to keep them off TV. That is some next level, outside the box shit there. They actually realize their TV gets nobody over. Holy fucking shit.

I legit thought the original post actually meant "get injured" because 1) the injury bug and 2) why would they care if someone is hurt in a booking sense? It's not like their booking helps anyone for the most part. I could absolutely see them "build" Sasha up by having her go 50/50 all the way to Summerslam.

To me, if you're a normal poster and you throw the occasional pic out there -- not creepy. If you do it constantly -- creepy. Nice Guy is not creepy THIS TIME.

I was thinking "they look like they're covered in ants" but errant feces works, too. All the Photoshop and they didn't get rid of Sandow's double chin?

I have zero doubts whatsoever that there are diehard Apple fans who would say this. There are rabid fanbases for every single pursuit you can imagine and there is a subset of every single one who treats it this seriously, like they're "in the biz," and the Internet has enabled them to congregate and go on and on like insiders. You know there are fans of comics, My LIttle Pony, fast food and everything in between who discuss business moves and various inside baseball bullshit like it matters to their lives. For example, if I see one more video game fan reference "SKUs" or "engines," I'm going to pee straight up in the air.

That would make more sense than "don't watch me...I can't go if you watch me."

God damn, man. Sorry to hear that.

A guy who has gone by "Hugh Morrus" and "Hugh G Rection" having any say whatsoever in anyone else's choice of names is ridiculous.

Pee shy?

I hated Clerks. I am the captain of this fucking boat. I saw it when it came out and thought it was boring and juvenile. Other people said, "oh, you need to have worked in retail to have really enjoyed it." Really? That's your target audience? Wow, that's some narrowcasting there.

Ha! Good point. I should have put in more qualifiers. "Wall Street has the misconception that only Vince can successfully run WWE." Because I'm pretty sure the company will do okay without him.
