Man, I remember Doc Dean from WCW Saturday Night. I hadn't heard that name in quite some time. I just remember that absurd move he'd do during his entrance where he'd jump up and click his heels together.

Not familiar with his work but sorry to hear about your friend ace

And here comes Nash 's "worked all you marks" tweet in 3...2...

Except it would be called WCW and not TNA so it probably would have had a shot at becoming successful once again, instead of Spike and Destinat... You know what? We're not doing this. I'm in a good mood. We're not doing this tonight.

I have to say, the IC on black leather makes the thick cut around the main plate way, way more tolerable than the current white strap. /nitpicking

I like you, man, but I think we disagree on the definition of the word "downside"

I agree that 2000-2001 WCW had some bright spots. Team Package was incredible, as was the Magnificent Seven. Lance Storm and "Above Average" Mike Sanders and the Natural Born Thrillers were the future. If they brought in Corino and RVD, as rumored, and just outlasted ECW by a couple of months, things might've been different. Imagine Christian York and Joey Mercury in that CW tag division? I mean, I'm sure Hogan & co would have shat on it in due time, but there is a lot of fun stuff we probably missed out on. On a somewhat related note, I've retired Elegant Elliot Offen from my signture-- long live mental hospital strutting Flair.

I binge watched all of Silicon Valley season 1 and 2 this weekend, new episode is on in three minutes. Such a fantastic show. How do you guys feel about it?

I dunno who works as Doink on the indies since Matt Borne passed (probably Tom Brandi cause, fuck it ,why not) but i'd be way pissed off

I had never heard of this guy before, so FYI: if you google "WWE Clown" this douche bumped Doink to the second result. That, in my book, is a bunch of bullshit.

Screw that make Bo the captain

I Just hope this isn't the modern day NXT equivalent to the Bagwell/Booker match in Tacoma that messed all the WCW plans up.

c'mon man

I wasn't alive/conscious yet, but I've seen some tape and done some reading over the years, and from what I understand, he and Eddie Murphy had a huge hand in SNL afloat during the non-Lorne years in the '80s. I wasn't a huge fan of his, but then again, I could see some of the topical humor going over my head cause of my age. Personally, I'm still hot Eddie Murphy didn't do the proposed spot as Cosby during the SNL 40 special (or anything resembling comedy). And really, in wrestling parlance, Kenan deserved that fuckin' pop anyway, he's been doing Cosby since he was 12.

I decided to wait until morning to talk about Owens/Cena to see if it would cool off a little in my mind after a few hours of sleep. Then I saw that moonsault gif. I really, really, really liked that match. I think that the idea someone posted earlier (I'd credit you but sorry I'm on mobile) about the match being elevated by the finish is spot on. I thought for certain the finish was gonna be a frustrated Owens going nuts with a chair for the DQ. Everything else was just kinda there. The Chamber, like HIAC and MITB, is beginning to show it's age as a gimmick.

Way off track, but Dusty's call of Sherri clotheslining Col. Parker at WWIII 1996 is absolutely awesome

I honestly am getting to the point where, when comparing TNA's advertising dollars to WWE's, it's not a matter of pro wrestling being too low brow, but a pro wrestling company called motherfucking TNA (TNA!!!) run by the people it's run by being too low brow. The TNA name honestly probably sunk them more than anything, again, with the exception of mismanagement. They should have changed it to Impact Wrestling or ICW or IWF the day they picked up Hogan and Flair, if not Angle, Christian, Booker, and the Dudleys way back when (not taking anything away from the indy/homegrown stars, but those guys were names in 2005/2006 and it actually did seem like somewhat a turning of the tide).

If time travel is ever invented/perfected, AXE BOMBAH Hogan is just gonna use it to work 600 days a year

this morning at work i read on some doo doo ass newz site that WWE is interested in AJ Styles, in order to make a "full fledged third touring brand" as stacked as it could possibly be. Between he and Joe (36 and 35, respectively) I don't see what would stop them from bringing in more guys like Aries (or for that matter, my man Bobby Roode) who are mid-late 30s in age, but still have plenty of gas left. Was Low Ki's bridge burning at WWE *really* as bad as it's made out to be, or was it just garden variety "bad attitude?" I mean, Brian Kendrick is semi-employed, and that shoot with London was nothing but Wellness violating and shit talking. They brought the NAO back after some pretty significant shit talking. Lest we forget Hogan, or if you wanna get crazy, Bruno or Warrior. Not comparing any of those guys to Low Ki in any conceivable way, just talking in terms of supposed burned bridges.

Oh shit. I'm not a regular Corny listener but this should be a good one.

Dude, you know anyone can edit Wikipedia, right?

Haaaaa true. Oh man. This is so God damn funny. I feel bad for anyone who loses their job, but between MVP's tweets and the TNA one about "finally having a related lead in" it's just all so good man

Ok so the odds of this being true are slim to none, but food for thought in regard to the TNA/ROH/DA situation: with Billy Corgan claiming that Meltzer and everyone else were being worked by a sloppy angle, is it possible the whole cancellation is a work and this is leading to an interpromotional feud?? I mean, whoever planted the Dixie email story is a genius, cause who WOULDNT buy that after the whole Russo/Spike/Mike Johnson email debacle??

I just read Titan Sinking: The Decline of the WWF in 1995. It wasn't too bad, but if you've watched the fantastic Kevin Nash 1995 Timeline or Waltman 1994 shoots, a LOT of it is pretty much just a print version of those. Only took me an afternoon to get through, but just not a whole lot of new information. But for less than half the cost of a pack of cigarettes, it was a decent way to kill some leisure time.

I was gonna take a moment to explain mirrors to you, but on further inspection, it does appear that way.
