    That reminds me...I brought up how he spent almost 10 whole minutes on WWF Superstars defending himself from a Phil Mushnick hit piece when the trial had been over for almost a year and a half. Yep, I saw a response of, "well...I mean he HAD TO defend himself..."

    Yes, he had to break kayfabe and take time away from his own programming to talk about something 95% of his audience didn't give a fuck about.

    Remember the Corny "shoot" promo on Mushnick in the wake of Brian Pillman's death (you know, the one that had the balls to accuse Mushnick of exploiting his death when the company did that in as crass a manner possible the night after he died) that was one of the biggest pile of dishonest and deceitful bullshit and lies you will ever see?

    Seth? That toadie isn't saying anything that may displease The Massssssssssster. And do either of those have guys have connections to Ospreay? 

    You want to feel old, start a job where the 17 year-old kids working with more responsibility than you still can't handle alcohol purchased by supermarket customers. 

    Re: the chickenhawk thing, Edge was probably thinking of this guy

    Both those guys took cheap/stupid shots on Twitter at Ospreay and ended up regretting it (the reply to Corbin bragging about being a Raw headliner "NO WONDER RAW SUCKS" is a first ballot entry into the Internet Hall Of Fame).

  3. Headed up to Buffalo overnight for the home finale. The Bisons game that was to be the highlight of my trip is all but certain to be rained out, now my only highlights are going to be the Spaghetti Parm at Chef's, spending the entire game heckling Donny, Ellis and Kevyn From Accounting and coming up with anti-Pegula chants while booing the team off the ice after they lose.

    As much as I generally like the stuff you post, I hope you're 100% wrong on this one. I guess I'm in the minority because I give a shit and I like Cope's promo. I want AEW to succeed. I don't want to go back to a world where WWE has a stranglehold on the wrestling industry. I tried giving Raw another chance tonight, but I just can't get into it. Part of that might be due to Pat McAfee, who makes me wish I deaf. 

    Trust me: I hope I am wrong here as well.

    They had some legendary teams and players in the 90ies, but yeah, Neverkusen absolutely were a thing. Good for them. Harry Kane's curse will likely end next year, Bayern still has the foundation and the financial assets to dominate the league.

    Leverkusen's season is absolutely legendary and will very likely be the best non-Bayern points tally (should be Dortmund at 82 points in 2012 so far). They have a shot at a national double, facing 2nd Bundesliga Kaiserslautern in the cup final. They are also in the Euroleague Quarterfinals against West Ham. 

    It does amuse me that in terms of different champions for the past decade + the Bundesliga is indistinguishable from the two horse race that is the SPFL.

    With six games remaining, Bayer Leverkusen remains unbeaten and leads the Bundesliga with a 16 pts lead. Never expected Leverkusen to win a league in my lifetime. This ends Bayerns 11 season dominance. Incredible work by Xabi Alonso and the whole club. 

    No more Neverkusen. I remember the time years back when all they had to do was win their last match at home, they handed out cardboard replicas of the Bundesliga trophy and then went out and shit the bed.

    Clash at the Castle 1 was a Stadium Show (in a city that doesn't have a Castle). Clash at the Castle 2 is in the Glasgow Hydro (also in a city that doesn't have a Castle; They're thinking of Edinburgh). But the first ever Pro-Wrestling show at the Glasgow Hydro, right after it opened, was a TNA House Show. Part of TNA's UK tour that year. There are 4 Football Stadiums in Glasgow (The National Stadium, plus grounds for Rangers, Celtic and Partick Thistle), running a building with a 14,300 capacity as Clash at the Castle just seems like they're devaluing the brand immediately.

    Hold it at Firhill and main event with The Rock vs Kingsley.

    Idk who that is. And it isn't a gimmick. I genuinely think it's funny that they caught a beatdown from the world's worst MMA fighter with a man advantage, and that every company they're a part of is made worse by their mere presence. If that bugs you, I'm sorry. That doesn't make them less lame.

    Now have you ever heard about this thing called the Mangrate...?

    Agreed with that last part. Like, I think it's hysterical that the Jacksons and Kenny caught an ass-beating with a man advantage, but there is no other industry on earth where anyone would expect those people to work together without serious accommodations...

    Your anti-YB gimmick is the worst gimmick since Vince Champ's.

    I know “it’s wrestling and wrestling is different from real life job environments,” such a lousy argument that excuses all manner of bullshit, but seriously…in what world should anyone be forced to work with a coworker who talked shit and physically assaulted them because “think of the money!”

    The “they should have done business!” argument needs to stay in 1982.

    If Punk was all about business wouldn't he have done business with the guy who everyone on Earth knows he hates and knows the story and whose sacking/demotion set everything off?

    If Tony Khan blames Jack Perry for costing him CM Punk, then just fire him. Jack Perry isn't a draw, and he's not important to AEW's bottom line. If he was, we'd have seen him on TV in the last six months. 

    Or Tony could look in the mirror and realize his refusal to do something when the issues with Punk and The Elite started and deciding to ignore it and hope it went away is what led to everything going to shit. Punk doing what he did wasn't a matter of "If" but "When", if it wasn't Perry who set him off it would've been something else.

    There are plenty of stories nowadays about fishy games in the lower levels of sports around the world, just not the major leagues. If Asian betting syndicates can make their money fixing third tier Canadian or Malaysian soccer, which goes almost everyone’s radar but Declan Hill and company, why try and fix the Premier League or nfl? 

    Hill's book "The Fix" is one I'd call a must read.

    In the "nothing beats a good college rivalry" category, around 8 to 9 thousand pieces of Oakland University merch has been to sold in the last couple days.  To the city of Louisville 😆

    But just moments after their great triumph joy turned to despair as the university announced it would soon be moving to Las Vegas.

    3-2 Coventry! I can hear Sky Blue Sam from here!

    Was literally coming here to post just that. Happy for him and their supporters who have gone through hell the last decade +.

    Only problem there is the NCAA desperately wants a jobber to the #1 seeds.  And if #1 Purdue has to go against a theoretical #16 Wake Forest...  hoo boy does that get spicy quick.  

    My solution: make all 4 of them for the 12th seed.
