Twenty year smart mark talking point about the older generation being selfish and refusing to put over younger talent and pass the torch proven to be the biggest crock of shit ever. No one complains had Reigns destroyed Hogan or Taker puts over AJ or Strowman instead. My guy needed to beat your guy, and that makes you the biggest mark of all.

anyone else at Chikara? That ZSJ vs Quack match was an all time classic. Absolutely amazing. I like to think that's the wrestling equivalent of what happened after the bell rings at the end of Rocky III

Nothing more gratifying than stumbling out of a burger king parking lot at 3am and deciding to double team a statue of The Hulkster. Nothing more dissatisfying when a crowd of traffic is egging you on to slam him. Everyone's running wild, you hit two punches, a big boot.... and then barely move the concrete stumps...

Kinda looks like Ronaldo in fairness

At LAX, tired as hell, waiting for connecting flight, hoping to find the energy to go see Westbrook get another triple. And if the sight of GLF sitting down between a young, tired and now bemused couple because there's a power outlet between them to plug his laptop into, nothing really will.

Two things I want. The ring carts from Mania 6 to make their return in rollercoaster form. Pitbull going off the stage via Braun Strowman.

I feel like 100 times less self-conscious about the jumper I wore in this morning that I didn't realize is absolutely covered in cat hair at the back than the 2 hours I spent walking around a Fortune 500 company advertising THEARCHITECTSETHROLLINS. Woody Allen levels of self-depreciation just in hindsight.

Jesus turned up in a foul mood because he didn't want to do business for the Romans on the way out of the territory, as was the time honoured tradition as way back when, but was talked into it after being told that by doing the job here, he'd be made for life, and also caught wind about one of the boys stooging him off in the process. Turned up seven days later to honor his pre-existing booking commitments and then left territory and ascended into a feud that seems like it's been going on forever with an endless supply of ridiculous monster gimmicks.

I wonder if he goes back and works for Vince again if for no other reason than it being a welcome distraction?

Without Hogan signing, Bischoff doesn't give Vince a reason to care or compete. Without Hogan signing, Bischoff probably doesn't get Nitro. Without Nitro, they probably fly under the radar of the various Time Warner execs that wanted it gone and it still is seen as Ted Turner's little hobby farm. Without Nitro, they probably continue to do the tapings at Disney, and continue making small, modest profits. Without Hogan and Nitro, they probably don't feel the need to carry on the momentum and sign Hall/Nash In that space however, Austin probably still gets fired (by both his and Bischoff's admission), Foley probably still leaves anyway. You probably end up with Dustin Rhodes as the face of the company instead however. Think both promotions end up in a lacklustre crawl to the bottom, with WCW better insulated from the storm by not touring as frequently. If anything, ECW survives and competes better in a much more competitive/even playing field.

I got the new Seth Rollins t-shirt in last month's Lootcrate. I've kept it in my desk at work as an in case of emergency t-shirt. As luck would have it, I spilt coffee on my work shirt this morning....and I'm wearing it round the office. Looks of dismay and disgust everywhere, my self respect could not be lower. I don't even like Seth Rollins. I've gone from moderately-professional human being to mildly-retarded in the time it took a poorly adjusted coffee lid to come undone.

Sleaze thread.

I'm just glad we're not going to get a Seth Rollins/Ted Moseby crossover.

At the risk of going List-A-Mania with this... 1) Warrior vs Savage - Mania 7 2) Bret vs Owen - Mania 10 3) Shawn vs Razor - Mania 10 4) Savage vs Steamboat - Mania 3 5) Savage vs Flair - Mania 8 6) Bryan vs Triple H - Mania 30 7) Piper vs Bret - Mania 8 8) Rock vs Hogan - Mania 18 9) Rock vs. Austin - Mania 17 10) TLC 1 - Mania 17 11) Taker vs Shawn - Mania 25 12) Rock vs Austin - Mania 19 13) Lesnar vs Reigns vs Rollins - Mania 31 14) Taker vs Shawn - Mania 26 15) Shawn vs Flair - Mania 24 16) Triple H vs Benoit vs HBK - Mania 20 17) Bret vs Austin - Mania 13 18) Triple H vs Taker - Mania 17 19) Hogan vs Warrior - Mania 6 20) Big Show vs Mayweather - Mania 24 ------------------------------------------------------ 21) Crush vs Savage - Mania 10 22) Taker vs Orton - Mania 21 23) Twin Towers vs The Rockers - Mania 5 Warrior/Savage has unparalleled drama in the match. Dude kicks out of 5 top rope elbows. Great conclusion of a five year story arc for Savage afterwards. It's so far and away better than anything else Warrior did - probably the greatest example of a miracle match.

I have this awful feeling we're getting the redux of the Angle/HHH/Steph love triangle after Mania.

Spoilered for size.

If so, lot of foreshadowing and really ahead of his time when talking about how a computer took your job.

Possibly leading to Sex Addict Dusty doing the World's Largest Love Machine gimmick that Viscera had about 15 years earlier?

Amen. The absolute worst. The same socially awkward MFers everytime who get their panties in a knot because they lack the social skills to join in a fun conversation or in-joke, so instead its snide remarks about how the purity of the board and professional wrestling as we know it is tarnished and that the thread is going to be locked anyyyyy minute now.

Jim Cornette is like an 11 on the autism scale, right?

Oh wow. All this time I had the stories confused. I thought Sapphire *was* the black hooker. Yeesh.

Don't forget that Santino wasn't ready that time he got eliminated. Total bullshit.

They could have done an angle with this. A reverse hair-match. The winner of the match gets to have their head shaved and the credit that comes with having raised all that money.

NXT card looks good enough to watch, not enough to convince me to buy a ticket given I've already spent thousands on this trip. Six hour card the next day makes me wonder if its worth me leaving the hotel room on the Saturday at all.

"this is for you, Jesse!"
