Did everyone but me know that Chuck Palumbo has a show on the Discovery Channel?

The thing is, dating outside THE BIZ~! isn't really an option either. Why isn't there a "none of the above" on this poll? I guess they can't all wind up at the exact same level... If JTG could be this successful without having to do anything, I'm sure he'll be all right.

Consider the high praise those three get from that era, though. Well, to be fair, he didn't specify the number. He could've been, say, one of the best five hundred workers on earth.

I wonder if they meant to release Slater and mixed him up with Hawkins... And I think they missed the boat by turning Aksana brunette, although Lana kind of fills her role either way now.

He was running from Parts Unknown, obviously.

I'm just puzzled by Fat Spanish Waiter not being Spanish. I haven't been this confused since I realized his name wasn't Walter.

I don't have a problem with that spot, either. It's contrived, but it fits in the paradigm of professional wrestling better than the ones we usually rag on. If the tombstonee had, say, rolled through (despite there being no forward momentum) into a tombstone of his own, that would bother me; but in this situation, since the guys being hurt act like they're being hurt, I'm cool with it. It's no more contrived than a good Jackie Chan spot, really.

Okay, that sounds amazing and not at all like a missed opportunity. Can someone explain the context of this? Samoa Joe has been kidnapped by ninjas! Are you a bad enough dude to rescue Samoa Joe? The angle could have been saved had they sent the Bad Dudes to rescue him. Or the Dynamic Dudes.

I thought he was from Lithuania. He should stage a comeback with Aksana to feud with Rusev.

This makes no sense. Why the fuck is Orton just standing there? Thank you. Shane's punches are bad, but Randy is putting ZERO effort into selling them.

The Diamond Cutter was possibly the best finisher of its time, but I don't feel that power bomb one. It's too contrived.

Until everyone else started posting Raven gifs, I thought that was AJ Styles.

A lot of it was production music and Jimmy Hart tracks that had been liberally "influenced" by others. The Benoit theme is similar to a Machines of Loving Grace song, Booker T's was essentially a funkified version of a Kraftwerk song, Saturn ripped off "The Beautiful People", DDP's was "Smells Like Teen Spirit", Raven was "Come As You Are", Chris Jericho was "Even Flow", and so on. Of course, WWE's not exempt from this, either. I know that Too Cool's theme has turned up lots of places.

Jindrak would have been in place of Batista, not Orton. I don't think he'd have had the success Batista had, but I'm not familiar with his post-WWE work.

There could never have been two Ultimate Warriors. One of them would have had to be the Penultimate.

Around 2:45 contains the lyric "switch off your shield." Don't forget that Dave went to Hollywood to make them there movies. What does this all mean? Relax.

There is a Saturday Night match between Roadblock and Rick Fuller out there and I intend to find it.

Is there a Canadian Dieno-stroyer out there?

All this talk of RVD reminds me that Rey's been off screen for months and nobody's even noticed.

Not the same without the sound effects.

Is there a reason yet for the item in spoilers? I'm puzzled.

Is there any reason so far as to why Soldier Ant is a heel? I'm puzzled.

That Deeb/Beaa match was all sorts of fun and exactly what I look for in my sports bar wrestling.

Maria Menounos?

Is Dusty the most beloved bad booker of all time?
