  1. I actually want my glove for shooting darts from a slingshot. I have a reason for wanting to start shooting darts from a slingshot at the age of 42 and it’s a long story but in the meantime while looking for information I’ve seen where people have shot through their own hand! They make guards to prevent that but the best one I could find had a dart still go through it in a test video. 

    What are these “wraps”? I’ll look them up and see if I can see.

  2. I saw that picture on FB also wow. I think Rogaine was also in the water because they had superior fuzz.

    Also gotta love Bret Hart. I know he’s been a trip but he stuck Eric Bischoff hard and deep with that mini rant that took the same amount of effort as it does for him to scratch his nose. Meanwhile Eric fired back with maximum intensity and all he had was that.

    The interesting part as always is to find out if Diggs skills are declined or if he was just checked out. From November onward he only had two TDs and never had over 90 yards in a single game. That covers 11 games, including playoffs. He wasn't getting the separation he used to and things were just "off." I have no ill will towards him, I hope he plays well in Houston, I just don't know if he had a drop off in skill which can happen or was letting his emotions impact his play.

    Also, during their losing streak they were forcing him the ball. All those plays where he wasn’t getting the ball were because he was never open. They started winning again when they started running the ball and running playaction. I think the Bills are in trouble but not because they got rid of Diggs.

  4. I’d never seen it. I don’t think it’s up there with the others but it’s still good. That’s a testament to how good the WWF was with this type of thing at the time as much as I hate to say it. 

    I agree that it was a rare cut and dry explanation of events that happened. You rarely got that in wrestling. It was neat how it was so relatable. Playing with matches, punishment, chores lol! 

    So Paul Bearer ran the neighboring funeral home? 

  5. I follow Mike Tyson casually and I’ve learned about this Jake Paul guy because he’s out there enough at this point. I don’t really follow and kind of fighting. Mike Tyson is doing 1 thing right this time that he’s never done before. That thing is saying all the right things. A wrestler couldn’t do a better promo than all of his lately, down to naming the time and place.

    That obviously doesn’t mean he’s ready for any kind of fight. I wouldn’t fight Mike Tyson at any age if he’s ready for a fight, and I don’t mean physically. Mike Tyson has to be ready for a fight like, say, a fat drunk redneck has to be. Most of the time a fat drunk redneck is an overrated pushover, but when you walk up to one and spit on him and call his mama a whore he becomes something else that can fight. I just don’t see that in Mike Tyson. If that was ever summoned in Mike Tyson again it wouldn’t be a fight IMO, it would be a massacre.

    So should there only be good guys?  Are we upset at the Young Bucks for mistreating their elder before his retirement match or does this only apply to certain social issues. 
     

    Where do you draw the line?

    Pineapple on pizza. That's my line.

    What argument are we having, again?

    Both of these replies are great examples of how people should handle things.

    Do people automatically think Actor X is a racist because he played one? Did people in the 70s think Carroll O’Connor was really like Archie Bunker?  

    No, but this is a simple question with a simple answer that many people hate. Those kinds of people are the real racebaiters much of the time and it doesn’t really affect me, for sure it doesn’t traumatize or break my heart or any of this stuff that supposedly happens to offended people…but it does freaking annoy me. Jeeze. I only wish 1980s phony insults were the pinnacle of it all now.

  8. I agree that Hogan vs Piper was a good match. I don’t remember much wrestling going on there but Hogan was working perfectly as a heel entertainer in that match and Piper was feeding off of it. Let’s be real though alot of it was just the fact that it was Starrcade, which they had managed to put together without the title being on the line. We knew Hogan was going down and we just wanted to see it. The other fans knew it to because Piper’s return was pretty epic, however boring he became later.

    I’ll tell you a good match like the matches we’re talking about though. It’s from the same dang show. Luger vs The Giant. Luger could work when he wanted to and so could a young, game Paul Wight. That match was the biggest payoff in the whole NWO vs WCW feud since we didn’t get Sting vs Hogan.

  9. Warrior could work when he wanted to just like Hogan could. Mfer just never wanted to, just like Hogan didn’t. Yes I know there were like 8 more times Hogan wanted to work. That doesn’t make what I said a lie. If the list were stretched to 10 most important matches it would go on it IMO.

    Since today is the anniversary of the show, posting one of my favorite spots ever. The Free for All version with Farooq shouting, "THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MESS WITH FAROOOOOOOOOQQQQ!" is the absolute best.

     

    I wasn’t a fan of most of that stuff but the SCSA and Nation exchanges were great.

     

    Both of these promos contain 2 subtle real world references that not everybody caught, that probably wouldn’t have been ok’d by a producer.

  11. I will say that the WWF had a ton of good matches after the Attitude Era, just show after show every night. They weren’t all storyline driven and when they were it was really good wrestler vs really good wrestler. That would usually make up a really good match but none of those really good matches were historically important. Yes I do know you could make an arguable list but it would be arguable to the other list, not realistically replaceable.

  12. Hogan/Andre WM3
    HBK/Austin WM14
    Austin/Bret WM13
    HBK/Brett Survivor Series                            
    Bruno vs Buddy 

    That’s my list even though I’m definitely not the 1 to ask. There is a list of darkhorses that’s interesting IMO but onto more important things first like the other list.

    And I can’t even make one wow. The WWF, for all their Wrestlecrap, is short on alltime bad trainwreck matches. The exceptions were booked to fail to sabatoge somebody like HHH/BPP or for laughs like old Pat Patterson matches. If I made a list out of crumbs it would probably include the 1 old Bob Backlund match that made everybody mad or 1 of those last ones that didn’t make anybody mad because they didn’t care enough to get mad. Then maybe a John Cena match from those years were every match had a wannabe rapper prematch and postmatch promo. 
     

    EDIT: old AGED Pat Patterson. Those comedy matches from the 90s. And old match with a YOUNG Bob Backlund vs Superstar.

  13. VHS tapes were just on my local news! They (the news not the tapes) basically talked about what we talked about and interviewed a collector and went over some things. They added that some mint condition VHS tapes go for 5 or 6 figures. They also said that the VHS comeback hasn’t even peaked, and that they hope they’ll make a comeback the size of the vinyl comeback.

  14. I want to throw a random of my own out here. I’ve been watching The X-Files almost every Saturday and Sunday night. It comes on local TV here in blocks. I’d never seen it much because wrestling or football was always on but it’s great like I’ve always heard.

    I’m tell you what though, a YouTube video of every time somebody said “I don’t know” would last longer than a video of Jim Mora saying “you don’t know”, Mike Graham saying “didn’t draw a dime”, Ric Flair saying “Whooooo” and The Rock saying “The Rock” added together Xs 1000.

  15. I’ve sold a tape or 2, but only ones that weren’t worth anything or worth ever watching again. And I bought them of course.

    I have more…how do I say it without being vain…valuable crap than many people lol! I won’t sell it either. It wasn’t all mine. My folks and gradfolks were the owners of some of it and they never sold it.

    i just want to pop in here and point out that the 80s Transformers and GI Joe cartoons are legitimately good. they're not the fucking Sopranos, or Game of Thrones, or what have you, but for 80s kids TV, animated or not, they are pillars of quality. Their contemporaries: He-Man, Thundercats, MASK, GoBots, et. all., are all objectively of lower quality, but Transformers and GI Joe i found hold up reasonably well for what they are. 

    source: i love cartoons (you may remember my 'Help me find all the cartoons' thread from a few years ago) and finished rewatching those two series a year or two back.

    The first ever episode of Silverhawks has an extended intro that’s better than Gone With the Wind.

    I've never really watched SMW but just started the TV from 1992 and I have nothing but love for Tim Horner coming out to "The Thunder Rolls."

    SMW TV is possibly the funnest TV to go back and watch. It was week to week, like what people called that male soap opera that was the same way years later. SMW holds up a little better because while it obviously never had the peak that the WWF did, it also didn’t have the things that came with success that make WWF TV not hold up.
