"Profitably" might have been a better word.

I am a little bit hoping that they do that bit that the Dodgers and the Giants were talking about doing in that ESPN article someone linked and come out as if they're going to play and walk off as the ball goes up for the tip off.

Yeah, but if you want to watch people playing to lose, then go watch wrestling.
It's my understanding that early draft picks for bad teams should be seen as more of a pat on the head and a "thanks for playing, sport" than an actual reward for awful play so for someone to base a medium to long term plan on it is just baffling.

James Anderson getting his six hundredth wicket and Zac Crawley putting up England's tenth highest individual innings score in a washout is how cricket is supposed to be.
Winning is for footballers.

There was also a period where Ciampa was coming out without music in NXT within the last few years, or is that not an acceptable answer for an "Old School" thread?

To this day, I can't work out how Necro Butcher took a power slam on his face.

Why on earth do you tell a professional baseball hitter to not hit a ball that wants to be hit into the stratosphere like that?

International Cricket: we need shorter test matches so we can play more.
Also International Cricket: nope, too dark. Going in three balls after tea.

That only seems fair if the Cardinals finish at exactly .500.

Because Americans have silly names, that's just how they do. British people have names like Luke.

Wow. That's even funnier, because I'm pretty sure his handle was something like KojimaBakayaro. Did he get to get to see the big orange lump?

Was Jonathan the guy who ran an English language Osaka Pro fansite?

As I recall, his doctoral thesis was on professional wrestling in Japan. At the very least, he was doing some kind of big essay on that subject.

Now Rich Holland, that's fine. That's a name a person would have. But if your name was Rich Holland and you decided to start spelling it Ridge because you thought it looked cool, all of your mates would call you a wanker and take the piss out of you
Probably get stuck with a nickname like McCoy, or Crispy, or Twatface.
At any rate, there's no point in saying how Yorkshire he is until he says 'Ey up, love on a live microphone. Until that happens he's just a goon in a Peaky Blinders cosplay.

That is the dumbest thing I've heard a Football coach do since Jack del Rio decided it was a good idea to leave an axe lying round the place so that the punter could put it through his own non-kicking leg.

That is absolutely one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen. Thanks!

There is no doubt that Kitao was an All-World Shithead; apparently he got kicked out of New Japan for being racist about Riki Choshu, and later refused to drop a match to John Tenta then grabbed a mic and told everyone that wrestling was fake. In fact, one version of the story that ends with him slapping the stablemaster's wife also has him kicking the chairman of the Chichubu Cement works; who just so happened to be the chairman of the heya's, umm, patrons? Sponsors? I'm not entirely sure. At any rate, I only bring that up because I'm sure Akira Taue had a move named after the company.
And yet, Old Tatsunami, the stablemaster was a bit of a sleaze, too. This article, which is about the only thing with any details on it, says that the guy was skimming bonus money from his wrestlers, which seems like it might have helped nudge Kitao along and maybe start an argument where he slaps the stablemaster's wife and an 88 year old man who happened to be in the room too. Also maybe Kitao didn't want to marry coach's daughter, which is incidentally how that Tatsunami had inherited the stable in the first place. It seems like Kitao got his retirement money, some Y13 Million, kept his mouth shut and that was that.
The Stablemaster in question later retired, passing his stock onto his son-in-law who he'd fallen out with by then (and possibly divorced the wife,) and therefore sued him for market value for the share. A judge set "market value" at Y175 Million, although another judge overturned that. The old Tatsunami wound up kicking the heya out of the building they were training in, so the the new Tatsunami had to find a place for Tatsunami-heya to train.

Since I've been following Sumo, there's been a few serious fights in nightclubs and several counts of gambling on Baseball; and since this is a pro-wrestling message board I'd be remiss not to mention Koji Kitao, I have no idea what happened there. Still, Abi might well be Grand Champion Dumbass for this one.

I won’t watch SummerSlam even it’s on a boat, on top of a goat, wearing a tote, or while eating a oat. I do want to watch SummerSlam, Sam I am.
How did you feel about watching the recent NXT Takeover In Your House, with a mouse?

Me too. All these people walking to the cage are squares. More dancing, please.

I did enjoy last week with Jericho on commentary, whenever JR would name drop someone from the Good Ol' Days, Jericho would name someone even more obscure.
