  1. meanwhile, the White Sox made 11 roster moves in a day
  2. there’s some analytical org sending an internal email asking “can we make players remove their appendixs during the offseason to avoid using them to appendicitis during the season”
  3. O’Ryan, the WWE name of a wrestler with the last name O’Ryan who has to drop his first name
  4. guessing that the WGA strike won't slow down wrestling much and if it goes long enough..
  5. there's a notice about the Red Zone channel and Xfinity when I turn to it on my TV, but I still get the NFL Network. So I don't get a network that isn't broadcasting for 4 months
  6. looking through Wikipedia Clash 19 was taped before Beach Blast and aired after it (but making it all NWA Tag Team Tournament did get around some potential continuity problems from doing things like that). Gonna guess the scheduling was inherited there. Clash 20/21/22 could have been good builds for the impending PPVs a month later, but.. probably didn't quite work that way? But yeah, someone probably eventually did math and realized there was more money to be made doing PPVs instead of Clashes in some months.
  7. so how much insulation is there between Vice and the Vice cable network?
  8. there's always the "these people didn't know what they're doing, but I do, and i'll do it right" people who will go in on an idea, and then lose money on it
  9. I’m currently thinking out the Bill Watts Show. Where Bill is joined by mute cohost Boyd Pierce and he spends the hour ranting on local college football and his friends while occasionally welcoming guests. Also every other show will be hosted by Jim Ross and Joel Watts.
  10. time for Baron Corbin to start saying his name with a French accent Bahhh-rowwwwn Coreee-biiii "but why does he pronounce the N in Baron but not in Corbin"
  11. a few things that come to mind 1) Springer's show became more and more of a work over time, like wrestling. Neither was telling you that it was fake upfront though. 2) Jamie Dundee was a talent booker for the Springer show for a time 3) Jerry guest hosted Raw in the 2010s For all the things Russo can be criticized over, he was smart enough or accidentally smart enough to figure out that a Springer fanbase really isn't all that different from a Wrestling fanbase. If there was Cincinnati studio wrestling with Jerry Springer as the host, he probably would have made for a good host of that. Not sure if any wrestling shows ever ended with the host giving final thoughts ala Springer's talk show, but that would be novel enough to get some of the booker's main points of the show across. Also I'm expecting to hear somewhere in the 27 minutes of Cornette that Springer wrote a personal check to a prostitute and that Cincinnati isn't that far away from Louisville. Okay, i'm guessing that it's gonna only be like 24 minutes and there's an ad read at the end.
  12. a 27 minute video from the Cornette podcast about Jerry Springer passing away... that has some weird potential to it
  13. Not sure how many AL Central fans there are around the board so I might be seeing more Twins games than the usual board user but the Twins just water their infield dirt vigorously. That just came to mind with the Judge injury sliding in Minnesota. Diamondbacks water their dirt a bit when you consider they play in a retractable roof stadium in Arizona and the rest of the field is turf.
  14. I have no idea how many Beavis and Butthead episodes we're doing this season but this week's episodes.. Also, I'm slightly alarmed at how familiar some of the shitty houses portrayed on this show are to places i've seen (I'm not from Texas either)
  15. my favorite way for an org to manipulate service time? demoting someone around the all-star break so they can fall under the threshold before they come back (I don't think you can easily do this with starting pitchers anymore since they have to stay in the minors for longer now) also, the Royals coincidentally kept Brady Singer in AAA long enough stretching him out to start again last year that it got his free agency bumped back a year Anyways.. Where's "we're pissed off and frustrated" at on the list of things said by teams when they're going through a 6-20 stretch?
  16. The whole “automatic strike because the batter isn’t ready” thing is so extremely subjective and it’s false balance meant to make it look like the burden isn’t completely on pitchers
  17. the Royals are 6-19 meanwhile here's how the Cardinals are handling 9-16
  18. Maggi pinch hit for the Pirates tonight, striking out in the bottom of the 8th during an 8-1 victory, so he will finally get his own Baseball-Reference page (instead of being listed as trending and the link going to his BBRef-Minors page)
  19. not sure if AEW is ready for molten heat like Bobby Fish
  20. so Tony Schiavone didn't have any Bob Newhart albums as a kid? although with the bluetooth headsets, you can badly fake a phone call in all sorts of new ways
  21. also, people making questionable decisions while mad would be really realistic
  22. would the four corners clearly be elimination rules? it would kinda make sense for Sammy to make it a four corners match so he could win the title without pinning MJF if it's one-fall For the record, I think that three way/four corners matches should just steal the rules from Lucha and have three way/four corners title matches end when the champion is involved in the fall. So if the first fall is Sammy/Darby, the match goes on, but the match ends once MJF is involved in a fall either way.
  23. well Jericho is pretty old, so.. There'll be a McMahon Pillar in every corner for that main event. Gonna be a test to see how good the predictable ending of MJF/Sammy vs Darby/Jungle Boy is... because that ending is gonna be some form of heel miscommunication, the faces win, and then the heels fight among themselves, right?
  24. Things I remember from this week of AEW Dynamiet: Cassidy/Bandido was a fun one The Owen Hart Cup is back and it will be determined in Canada Dax/Jarrett would have been an amazing match on some random Monday Night at the Mid-South Coliseum. If you get sent to the back by an AEW ref, it's way easy to just sneak back in and help your guy win Wardlow smashed a dude and Arn Anderson's bright red clothing makes him look larger than he is Sammy and MJF are having a productive male friendship Sammy and Darby was a wild time and also put us on the fuckery highway to the PPV where we'll get the four way through next weeks tag match. Having this match start in the first hour was a blaring road sign that something was afoot. Meanwhile MJF won't let Sammy ride in the car with him. Strong Rod shows up to save Adam Cole from the Jericho Appreciation Society Jade wins again and Taya puts Aubrey in a hold postmatch How the fuck did the Butcher and the Blade get into a TV main event? for some reason, I suspect this week's ratings might dip a bit after Sammy/Darby although they always do, right? meanwhile, postmatch gang wars happened and bloodddd At least this week was a bit meatier than last week with the main event situation, multiple group vs group feuds and the such.
