Yep, sorry. My bad.

Meltzer told a third version of the story years ago. Per Dave, Tully failed the drug test intentionally to get released and got an offer from WCW. Vince leaked the failed drug test to WCW and they pulled their offer and instead wanted to pay Tully $500 per appearance. He refused and Roma got his spot (ugh). As part of this story, Meltzer also claimed that Vince made sure that guys he wanted to pass tests knew when they would be tested (hence Tully supposedly intentionally getting coked up to flunk the test). Thinking about it now, Tully and Arn's contracts were up anyway, so why w

I’d feel a lot better if I could see his hands.

Watched Survivor Series 89 last night and my wife asked me if the guy in the blue shorts was actually black or was doing a Soul Man gimmick (1980's movie about a white man who tans himself black to get into Harvard). The guy in the blue shorts was Rick Martel . This led to a debate about who had the darker skin - Rick Martel or Bad News Brown (who was on Martel's team). It's.... a lot closer than it should be. Now I can't unsee Rick Martel as a black man. It's disturbing. SS '89 is such a weird card. Teams seemingly thrown together at random. Weird finishes (Dusty Rhodes wi

WHO is joining the Heart Foundation? I thought he'd join the Heenan Family/

Apparently there's a lot of speculation that Conor McGregor will be on the first Fight Island card.

Good for Apollo Crews, I guess, but him getting any sort of push, much less winning a belt, seems odd to me. Is RAW that short on talent? Nothing against Crews (I enjoyed his work on the indies), but putting a belt on him makes me wonder if Creative isn't mailing it in more than usual during these crowdless shows.

Yeah, although the character was meant to be unpopular. Boyle's character was a waitress/stripper who married a very old billionaire and inherited his money when he died. She came in and bought the hotel the characters worked at, and had plans for the place that would have cost most of them their jobs. Found an interview where one of the showrunners said the idea was to babyface her eventually. One of the ideas was to have her lose all her money and take a job at the hotel. It sounded like there were long-term plans for Boyle, but she ended up not liking the gig and took it out on p

As I said earlier, I don't think it's a work but Bliss' tweet doesn't sound like it was written by a twenty-something in 2020. that way anymore. "How dare you, sir" sounds like she's either tweeting in character or HG Wells is ghost-writing her tweets. Real people don't use that phrase anymore. So, yeah, I can believe a WWE writer wrote that tweet for her (to take the Youtuber dude down). Writing dialogue that would never be spoken by a real person is a WWE staple.

I hooked my Wii up again after a lonngggg break. Basically, I like the Wii library quite a bit but am not a fan of the Wiimote and nunchuk, and the wife hates the Wii enough that she doesn't want it left plugged in full-time. Too many cords. Especially the controller sensor bard and it's long-ass cable. Anyway, yeah, one of my favorite consoles, really. I'll never own more than 40-50 games for it (my PS2, PS3, PS4 collections run into the hundreds each), but the Wii games I do own, I really like. I like old-school platformers, so the Wii has a lot there. Three Mario platformers

Wonder if they can get an ESPN deal?

What? You don’t believe Lexi Kaufman normally walks around saying things like “How dare you, sir”?’ i’m assuming it is not a work but the tweet isn’t worded like something i’d expect a real person to say in 2020.

Alexa Bliss is trending on Twitter. Apparently, she's involved in some sort of dustup with a Youtuber. https://www.forbes.com/sites/alfredkonuwa/2020/05/25/wwe-superstars-call-out-wrestling-media-personality-for-harsh-comments-about-alexa-bliss/#4d21ada63250

I would have thought Shawn would insist on being a top.

I read an article a year back or so that pinpointed that scene as the "death of LA Law". Not sure I agree. The scene is from season 5. There were a fair number of changes onscreen and off-screen around that time. By season 7, Jimmy Smits was off to do NYPD Blue Susan Dey had left the show, the popular CJ Lamb character was written out, etc. Question: I noticed E shows have odd start and running times. For instance, all the Las Vegas episodes on today run for 55 min (w/ commercials) instead of an hour, so the start times are odd (1:10, 2: 05. 3:00, 3:55, etc.) I flipped through t
