What exactly would be the advantage to AEW in running their show on Monday anyway? Business is not a zero sum game. Their goal should be to make money, not cost WWE money.

I like the sentiment, but who writes "dipshit" as two words?

So the new core set is looking pretty good. I laughed out loud when I saw Colossus Hammer.

Wait, what? Kofi and Becky were clearly the two most over people on the roster at Wrestlemania (with Kofi probably in first place). You could make a case for Seth being third, but it was a distant third. Has Kofi cooled off that much since then?

Well, to be fair, some of their gimmicks have drifted. When they started they were a punk rocker, a cheerleader, and a hillbilly. WHICH MAKES PERFECT SENSE.

It's supposed to be. A pleasant-tasting drink might lull you to sleep; the foul, foul taste of coffee complements the caffeine by shocking you awake.

That certainly was falling with style.

A 4-ticket minimum order? Do you suppose he meant to say "maximum"?

The really annoying thing is that we still get coins for defeating someone. It would be a lot more convenient if the money was loaded directly onto our Presto card or something. No idea whom I'd talk to about that, though.

Whatever his flaws, Ziggler has always been a great bumper. I still think he'd be a lot more palatable if he did nothing but eat Brogue Kicks.

Scott Pilgrim vs the World is a pretty accurate picture of Toronto.

Isn't it? I was sure I saw an announcement somewhere saying that's how it would be viewable in Canada as well as the US.

If we gave Rippa $20 million, I'm not sure that's what he'd do with it.

There's also the fact that to break a pinfall you only need to lift one shoulder a centimetre off the mat, To dodge a diving attack you need to move your whole body. It's not completely absurd to suggest you might have the energy to do one but not the other.

<shrug> Could be. I'm still not sure what your point is.

Okay? I'm not sure what your point is. If you're disputing my claim, I'll point out that Google is pretty well-known for tailoring its results to the person searching. You're probably closer to Washington than I am.

That makes more sense. At first I thought it was some schlub having a nap and dreaming about the Four Horsemen.

Hard to imagine those two eliciting anything more than a yawn, honestly.

Let me be Smug Linux Guy for a moment and point out that this is only a problem if you actually use Windows.:) When I bought a new PC a few years ago, I gave up years of dual-booting and went Ubuntu-only. I haven't missed anything. The only hiccup is that I now need to bring my work laptop home if I want to play Magic Online, but that's hardly a major issue.

...just how magic are these dancing powers?

I don't disagree, but then why give him three big title wins?

I'm sure I've seen refs lay a ten-count on a wrestler who's on the top rope waiting to dive off. On the top rope is not inside the ring.

Yeah, Ahmed really did eliminate himself like a moron. Mascaras did not. And rewatching it reminded me that because of the booking at the end, every other competitor in the thing did in fact get thrown over the top rope. Mil Mascaras is the rightful 1997 Royal Rumble winner!

I tried Googling "Tacoma" to find out how big that actually is. Tacoma, Washington didn't even make the first page of results. (Closest thing was a Wikipedia disambiguation page.)

I rewatched the 1997 Royal Rumble to make sure I wasn't crazy about Mil Mascaras. Actually, Raw may have already been over when I put the Rumble on. I haven't paid attention to when Raw airs in years.
