Actually, you won't see that because as the Uni Watch guy has said, in 2019 we get the 100th Anniversary Season, so it'll be like 1994 with every team wearing throwbacks. The Bears had better wear the fucking Decatur Staleys jerseys this time.

This Robbie Ido fellow really doesn't know how to take either a Gourdbuster or a DDT bump: Also, anybody know who the PBP announcer is talking with Funk?

Well, the fact they aren't even waiting for the first TPB to hit the sales chart tells me that even on the digital front the sales have been really bad. Here's the traditional comic book sales via Comics Beat:

This "embarrassing secret" that everyone is trying to keep sealed had better be something really horribly sleazy like the comic book version of Preacher's Odin Quincannon, a little bald man who would sneak off to have sex with a giant mannequin made of pieces of raw meat. Like, Billy Corgan walked in on Dixie and a dildo blender strapped to a life-size Vince Russo poster.

Sales on Mockingbird at my local comic shop had gotten so bad that the owner stopped putting it on the shelf beginning with issue four. He only ordered it for subscribers. I had completely forgotten it existed until Twitter blew up yesterday with news of its cancelation. Hopefully this will allow Bobbi and Peter to hook up in Slott's Spider-Man.

The blonde in the airport is really cute, but that song is annoying and the idea that a basketball arena full of people would show up to watch a fucking Splatoon tournament is hilarious. As for the system itself, essentially a reverse Nokia N-Gage (a portable gaming system coming out a time when people want a phone with a portable gaming system), looks like a loser.

I dunno, I've never really tipped well with takeout places. I guess I'm lucky that I usually get takeout from Denny's/IHOP/Waffle House, etc. and they rotate through servers so frequently that I can never build a reputation. I did recently tip an Applebee's bartender $0.25 after I asked for the check and it took him 10 minutes and then another five to process my credit card. It was 3:00 PM, and the place was empty so it wasn't like he was swamped with customers. "Service acknowledged but not appreciated."

A very young Jeffrey Dean Morgan in the Skinimax softcore classic Undercover Heat:

How long will there be "autograph money" for guys like Galloway, EC3, Cody, etc.? The longer these guys aren't in the WWE, the lower their value goes. Two years from now, the below video will be the sad reality for most of these guys: Also, this:

Honest question, how many of the guys currently under contract to TNA will be able to command "big money" on indy bookings aside from the Hardys and Bobby Lashley? I just picture Ethan Carter III demanding $5,000 and a limo to an indy promoter and the promoter just laughing and hanging up.

How much do you guys usually tip waitresses when getting take-out food, if you tip them at all?

The dumbest thing I've seen are the same day "virtual" trading cards that the companies are pumping out now. Basically, if you pre-order a set from Topps or whoever, you get a chance to "win" a jpeg file with a player that was taken just hours earlier at the NFL Rookie Premiere or some such event.

I know they had hardly any time for that outro, but I wish Hudson would have at least mentioned how long Wide World Wrestling/World Wide/Worldwide Wrestling had been on the air in one form or another. Also, one thing I've always wondered was WHY WCW kept Worldwide on as long as they did, right up until the end. Were they using it for house show promotions in 1998-2001?

Maybe they could get Dave and Cornette to do commentary on the early TNA shows: Meltzer: Our next match features Rod and Dick Johnson against James Storm and Psicosis from the very first TNA show. Cornette: Yeah, the Johnsons were wrestling penisis better known as Mike and Todd Shane, two identical twin bodybuilders from Tampa, Florida who got lured into wrestling by a sack of shit con artist by the name of Ron Niemi. Metlzer: They later turned up in the WWE as Gymini, but on the other side of the ring are James Storm and Psicosis. This is the actual Psicosis and not AAA Psicosis, while James Storm would later go on to fame with the tag teams America's Most Wanted and Beer Money....

Really enjoyed Jessica Jones #1, a nice reset back to the original status quo of the early days of Alias, which is still one of my favorite runs in the post-modern era.

Also, Ryan Grigson looks like he should be working for Atlas Security at the ECW Arena.

The local chapter of the Buffalo Bills Fan Club decided to rent out the party room of the local sports bar and every time the Bills scored, they blasted "Let's Go Rock 'N' Roll" through the entire bar. I went to Walmart and bought a cheap boom box, and next week whenever Ryan Tannehill tosses a TD, I will be blasting "Let's Go Rock 'N' Roll" into the party room. I fully expect to get the shit kicked out of me, but it will be worth it.

Anyone ever hear what happened to Maryland money mark/manager Royce Profit? He pretty much vanished off the face of the Earth back in 1999.

When the state of Tennessee finally seizes TNA's assets, I wish I could sit in the warehouse as they're going through everything and trying to assess the value: Tennessee Tax Examiner #1: Who the fuck is So Cal Val? Tennessee Tax Examiner #2: I dunno, but so far I count at least 10,000 autographed photos of her in these crates. And there has to be at least 30,000 autographed photos of this 'Rockstar Spud' guy.

http://www.comicsbeat.com/rromani-representation-peter-david-apologizes-and-roma-pop-responds-with-a-statement-and-goals/ I do believe that we need to see more cases of "social disruption activism" at comic book conventions. I'd love to see a Brian Bendis panel end with Bendis fleeing into the Green Room as angry feminists are screaming at him for killing She-Hulk in Civil War II #1 (and then screaming at Joe Quesada at bringing her back as 'grim 'n' gritty'), or a G. Willow Wilson autograph signing be cancelled because feminist Muslims and secular Muslims are staging a sit-in to protest the fact that Kamala has yet to travel to the Middle East to combat the subjugation of Muslim women by their husbands and fight against Honor Rape and Genital Mutilation. Or protests at panels whenever a white guy writes Miles Morales or Black Panther. Or Adam Hughes or Frank Cho getting into a screaming match with fans in Artists Alley upset over Cho/Hughes/J. Scott Campbell's objectifying of women ("Why the fuck don't you sell lithographs of Wonder Woman in a pants suit working in an office? Or Power Woman in modest clothes posing with Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders?!!?? Or posters of Kate Kane getting married to another woman and adopting a child?!!?? You disgusting sexist PIG!!!!") Unfortunately, aside from PAD losing his temper and very, very poor choice of words, Vicente Rodriguez comes across poorly as well for 1) hijacking a panel that was already aimed at a underrepresented minority in Gay/Lesbian/Transgender characters, and 2) claiming that Magneto, who has been shown committing acts of genocide on a fairly regular basis over the years, as a positive Roma character. Neither PAD or Rodriguez came off very well here, even though we do need to see more examples of activism at conventions.

The guy who played Nick Sobotka on The Wire kinda disappeared. It took me a longtime to realize that D'Angelo Barkesdal is now Bob Stookey.

The producers of The Wire should have filmed a scene where Stringer kidnaps a blonde haired, blue-eyed white girl and forces her to smoke a crack pipe to show audiences that he was evil.

Dear TV Producers, Dirk Gently is supposed to be an overweight con artist in a old brown coat, red shirt and cap, coke bottle glasses, and green tie from Eastern Europe named Svlad Cjelli. NOT a Matt Smith clone in a yellow Members Only jacket who seems to genuinely believe in the odd things that happen around him.

And yet, somehow, WCW thought this would be a good design for the 1991 six-man belts and ROH thought it would be a good idea for the TV title.
