    Well I certainly agree, there is no need to make the case. We're sharing our memories and concerns and those are mine. btw you've all been reported to the dean of students at Warrior U for mourning a stranger.

    I feel bad for his daughters too. Did he ever get to warn them that our government is spreading AIDS? If a philosophically-inept billionaire like Bill Gates and bleeding-heart liberals like African-loving Angelina-Pitt-Brad-Jolie want to save the World from HIV, good. Just shut up and spend your own money to do it. It's not my problem. And I'm ashamed to one day have to tell my kids that their gutless government reps are making it an even bigger one for them in their future.

    Benoit also. Batista's first breakout performance was against Benoit on Raw when Batista was still in Evolution. The Taker matches were good as well. I thought his final series with Cena was also pretty damn good. My point has been shoulder struck to pieces :/

    Batista has always looked lost vs. anyone not HHH or Eddie. As a fan of his first run it was one of his subtle charms on account of his late career start. Now that's he's parachuted back into the main event with a Gracie logo on his tush it's kind of unbearable.

    Not sure where to set it but over a certain decibel threshold booing Rey should release poison gas.

    Amazing show. Answered a lot of questions tonight. As someone else said, self-aware HHH is just too damn good. Stephanie's reaction after he hit the big clothesline in the first match was A++ too. Even Brock guy was shocked at 21-1. Time for the entire announce team to go live on a farm though. Bray: Finish me! Finish me! Finish me! Cole: What does he mean???

    1.33 Taylor Swifts. And I'm always going to be 1.33 Taylor Swifts, again and again and again... forever.

    I'm in possession of a Scott Keith book "autographed" by Flea. No recollection of how I came to own this treasured artifact but like, at some point, that was someone's idea of a good time?

    Guessing this one? http://frankfrazetta.org/viewimage.php?loc=frank_frazetta_desperation.jpg I have a decent collection of ERB paperbacks and if it was a Tarzan thing I think Lawler would've remembered.

    Someone please tell me I'm not an idiot for believing Buff's stories. His childlike understanding of police authority rings true in a sort of tyranny of the nouveau riche hillbilly way.

    wrong thread

    Yet another couple reasons Regal is the fucking man. And I don't think he wanted to bother namedropping new wave and Madchester stuff around Austin, but he also alludes to clubbing around the UK through the 80s and listening to what I'm assuming was a bunch of New Order and Vince Clarke stuff. Really, anyone who loves Saxon and the Pet Shop Boys is after my own heart. Really glad I did the math before making a Do You Really Want to Hurt Me joke. Folks, It just doesn't line up. :/

    Was amused to learn today that he vacated it twice. A situation where Kerry is the reliable party, lol.

    Austin railing against a guy who throws the cigarette on the curb is great. "You lazy son of a buck!" The "skinny guy smoking a j on the sidewalk" rant a couple months was like a dagger to my heart, but I just can't afford to miss updates on his dogs and Bronco.

    Can't you see he's tearing us apart????

    The hide behind your wife thing was played out before it was ever kosher to say but it's still a big step up from a decade ago. "You may be the strongest, smartest, most celebrated.. but with my Peaks/Jericoholics/Spinaroonie/other intangible qualities, I believe I have a strong chance to beat you."

    slow day at work. wish i'd seen that chant sheet sooner, or rather, not at all.

    Fiestaware. Please to give to me, your Fiestaware.

    We're about to go live from Tupelo, Mississippi with coverage of the Jerry Lawler Funeral Train, and JBL, the sheriff has made it clear the Wyatt family will not be allowed within five hundred feet of the station...

    Raw 2-24-14

    alan replied to MGFanJay's topic in WWE PROGRAMMING

    I think Undertaker's clothes weigh more than I do. Throw that shit on for jogging couple times a week and that would be the end of the annual "Taker getting back in shape for Mania" story.

    Face for 24 hours then back to douchebag at the stroke of 11, isn't that more or less Jericho's recipe for part-time success?

    The WWE dvds were rated "MA" and Franchise still had bleeps so long you'd run for the storm cellar if you heard it from another room.

    Wrestling occurs in a really narrow space where WWE is both the progenitor and caretaker of its history. What I mean to say is the likelihood of there ever being some archive where you can put on a pair of white gloves and view the ppv is very small. The historical value is undeniable but it's also not like footage has been totally lost. I think the problem with putting Over the Edge on the network is in edifying a "clean" version of the event. Pat themselves on the back for not showing him fall, or the immediate aftermath, then air Mark Henry's poem a million more times. I just don't see a way for WWE to use the broadcast itself in any form that doesn't re-victimize his survivors. Personally the two parts I find most affecting are the pre-match promo on the Godfather, and Lawler's thousand yard stare when he returns to the table. Knowing what happens, the sense of doom radiates forward and backward equally. By the time you're done clipping you've satisfied no one and also deeply compromised the historical value. Should've just put the main event on the History of the WWE Championship dvd and been done with it forever.

    Best part of the Chikara interview is Colt mentioning that he only knew one other kid in school who was into wrestling, and Quack taking that to mean he only had ONE FRIEND in high school. Holy projection, Batman.

    I wonder how long it took to explain to Vince that "binge watch" isn't some sick bodybuilding weight gain thing.
