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.

Just like USA thinks McMahons = ratings, Wall Street has the misconception that only Vince can successfully run a wrestling company.

Only if Kobashi could get to the US on a bereavement fare.

Right, this was covered by, I want to say Court Bauer, maybe, on a few podcasts. As Ace said, Lombardi was the guy in charge of rounding up talking heads for the DVDs and he often would pad things out (to put it in a nice way) by filming himself talking about every single subject. Eventually, Vince caught on and asked "WHY THE FUCK IS BRAWLER ON EVERY DVD?"

Post humblebrag selfies/Vines of himself lifting a lot of weight?

TRIGGER WARNING: DAVEY RICHARDS Those Sabu botches...I can hear the Table of Japan laughing all the way across the ocean

Please please please call the show "Aloha From Hawaii"

Mine's the best because both feature two unrealistic boobs defying all laws of physics in a ROH ring.

I think so. the joke was he got more amorous as the night wore on. That's quite sophisticated and restrained for Vince Humor (tm)

I'm sure nostalgia is a big thing with every generation, but at some point you have to move on and stop telling your audience that things were better two decades ago.

I hope Barrett, Sandow, & Riley stay off the indies. We don't need another "WWE Style" guy working boring matches based on power spots out of necessity just because they're hosses and bigger than most indy guys. We already have Drew McIntyre for that and one match per card is bad enough. Oh look Drew threw Mike Bailey around for 15 minutes before slipping on a a banana peel yaaaay.

I remember watching The Wrestling Classic as a kid and I know he's fondling her shoulder but Adult Me totally sees him grabbing her boob there. "Wrestling Pics that Need a Brazzer's Logo" for $400, Alex

You could post that in every thread and be right 90% of the time.

Will they have Lord Alfred Hayes manning the bracket?

I had to watch that 6-7 times to realize he didn't moonwalk in.

Well it's Canada. You're all very polite. If that happened here in the US, you'd see a combination of the LA riots, Dawn of the Dead and an episode of Doomsday Preppers.

LOL. Fuckin' Kennedy. Dude was all set to cash in Money in the Bank and win the title when he mistook a deep bruise for a torn tricep and panicked. What a maroon.

That's what really gets me. I started watching in 1985 and even the wrestling 10 years ago at that time felt ancient. Hell, watching Coliseum's "Best of the WWF" tapes (fuck yeah I said TAPES), when they'd show a match that was even 5 years old, felt completely alien. Considering that, it's sad to see them fall back on draws from 20 years ago nowadays. Imagine if they brought in guys from 1965 to pop an audience for Mania 1. Or just consider, no way in hell Vince would be bringing back Bruno to be a draw at, say, Mania 4. Yeah, they'd put him and old stars in undercard spots like Bruno and Morales in the Mania 2 battle royal but I remember, in the buildup to it, that their presence wasn't noted as a huge draw. I'm hoping they really do commit to this "New Era" but I get the feeling they'll be calling the stars of the late 90s as soon as Mania rolls around again.

Holy fuck. Nothing like a 30+ year old Eddie Murphy reference. Bravo to you good sir.

Ah, thanks. All my previous experience has been with the standard "gauze and wait a few hours" approach and you never saw Saran Wrap outside tattoo conventions and the like where showing off was more important than healing.

Nah, the old references are probably because Vince wouldn't understand any pop culture references post-1952.
