The Comedian

lol Vince gon make Steph, Shane, HHH, Johnny Ace, Bruce, and Kevin Dunn all wear them Twilight Zone masks overnight and the next morning everyone's face will be hideously transformed except Dunn will look exactly the same, then Vince will pop out and go, "I guess the mask tapped out on you, pal! Hahaha!"

Obviously she's introduced as Sakisama's good friend and newest member of Biishiki-gun...

double post

Honestly I been waiting for something like this since they went public. Surprised it took so long. As for ghost-writing for Max Caster: "Recently the 'E's had some shocking developments From Cody's purple shoulder to Vince's purple ALL RIGHT FOLKS THAT'S ALL THE TIME WE HAVE GOOD NIGHT...

"A LETHAL DOSE OF POISON!"

That and the Rockets dropping the classic red-and-gold right after winning 2 titles are definitely the worst of the NBA's many bizarre logo/color changes in 90's...

I'm assuming this is during the same time period when Hansen worked WCW and had the eyeball-removing run with Vader...actually between Hansen and MVC it's kinda weird that WCW was bringing in AJPW gaijin around that time while having a working relationship with NJPW. Forbidden Door indeed ...

Imagine you're Triple H. You got yourself into Vince's good graces after an early session in the doghouse. You slowly start to win his favor...and his daughter's. You marry into the family. You spend the next decade or so kow-towing to Vince, being the kind of mean-spirited bully that he respects. And you risk your current and future health roiding your body to obscene levels. Eventually you move from the stage to the office. You've given the guy grandkids. Finally, you figure you're in deep enough that you've got a sure thing, After all, the only other prospective heir is only good for jumping off high things and throwing worse punches than Ronda Rousey, and Vince clearly has never respected him. So after all this time, you start trying to change the company's antiquated ways of presenting "sports entertainment" and put your own stamp on creative... ...and it turns out you weren't in deep enough after all. Now, the LeVesque-McMahons will certainly live the rest of their lives in wealth and leisure, don't get me wrong. But still, all that time put into trying to become the next head of the WWE, that's a quarter-century of work gone down the drain...

Kropotkin's Beard basically just gave a more detailed explanation of my own vote...

I'd have gone Syuri last year, but this year I'll take Lindaman...

Miyu Yamashita Kento Miyahara Katsuhiko Nakajima The Miz Caught ya off-guard with that last one I bet ...

I wish they'd lost all of the Welcome Back, Frank stuff. The Max stuff was great, but I hated Ennis' 616 Punisher stuff where he wrote like it was Hitman or Preacher...

Ummm ...OK dude ...it doesn't look that bad... actually it looks pretty funny to me...

Just goes to show, if you must do worked shooty promos...don't cut them on your own company unless you've got a pretty solid invasion angle in place. Like for instance Scott Steiner shitting on WCW was entertaining, but he also made it clear that you could change the channel once he was done...

Counter-point: Miz was able to cut a "defend my style" promo without exposing the business by focusing on the fact that his style is safe for him (ie. I've never been injured, I'm here day-in and day-out) rather than it being safe for others (ie. I'm not dumping people on their heads)...

That's a good one. Also try, "It's hotter than the current side of the pillow"...

80's Lea Thompson. Which is always worth paying money to see. And she legit sings "Hunger City" with Thomas Dolby's band and it's awesome. Also awesome: Dolph Lundgren's Punisher.

A couple thoughts: An interesting contrast between Hank and Kim. Breaking Bad gave us a character who started out seeming like a puffed-up asshole, but by the final season came to be the moral center for the show. Better Call Saul introduced a character right away as the moral centerpiece, then gradually pulled back until by the final season you see that nothing's really there. I guess the closest thing to a moral center that BCS has is Nacho. That's why he gets the blue flower. We all know what blue stands for in this universe. Not perfection, but as close to it as possible. Blue is "as good as it gets." Nacho is as good as it gets in this show's world. I'm definitely with the majority that Lalo can't survive this show. No way can Gus be that confident in BB if he hasn't seen Lalo's corpse. At first I considered that he was Gus's Gus, ie. he is to Gus what Gus will be to Walter. But the more I think about it, I think I agree with A_K that Mike will kill Lalo, thus cementing him as the Breaking Bad universe's ultimate badass. I'm still hoping that the Gene stuff so far is pre-Walt's return from New Hampshire, with Omaha right on the path from there to Albuquerque...

Yeah, I'm about the biggest Miz apologist there is and I heartily agree that he does not need to be doing springboard anything.

He look like Gwildor from the MOTU movie with some shit on his face...

"Mark for yourself" has always been kinda dumb. When you develop a character in the biz, that character is your money making potential. You need to protect it. Hogan, HBK, Austin, Cena, they're all who they are from being marks for themselves. Hell, Roddy Piper was such a mark for himself he wouldn't even job to Hogan. Or even like Scott Hall calling Bret Hart a mark for himself for having his house filled with memorabilia. If you went to Jimmy Page's house and his walls were covered in guitars, gold records, and Led Zep swag, would you think, "Man, this Jimmy Page really is a mark for himself"...

Was it because I name-dropped him in the last thread? That'd be awesome dude... Anyway, yeah, his Champion Carnival run was fantastic, as was the Triple Crown match last weekend. He brings something different and older school to the table I think. Don't get me wrong, I do love the "I'm going to kick and/or knee strike you into oblivion" style of Miyahara, Marafuji, Lee, Nakajima, Kenoh, etc. that's become so popular in the 2 King's Road feds. But seeing a guy who does a nice crisp elbow drop, fun flash pins, and a brainbuster version of Villano IV's old cradle suplex as his finish is a nice change of pace.

I went with Bianca, though I'd have written in Yuma Aoyagi if I could...

Not to mention, with all the additional media covering sports these days he can't make shit up as easily either. "There's Wardlow. He was an All-American D End 2 years at Ohio State before coming into the business you know .." "Um, no he wasn't JR." "Whattayamean he wasn't..." "I have the Big10 Network. Watch a lot of Buckeyes. Never saw a Wardlow anywhere." "Uh, my mistake I must have meant Ohio U..." "JR, I'm not seeing any of this on his Wikipedia page. I mean, he boxed a little..." "There's Wardlow, fans, former Golden Gloves champion in the tradition of the great Roddy Piper! Gonna be a slobberknocker tonight I guarantee it!"
