Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella are now engaged.

 

This is how they are going to feud Bryan and Cena when Cena gets back right?

 

Bryan put all this extra pressure on Cena to pop the question to the fake boobed one and he didn't want to and now he is resentful of Bryan

HHH will pair up Brie with Cena and it will drive Bryan out of his mind.

 

Jesus, please tell me the best this generation can do as their Elizabeth is not Brie Bella.

There's a weird way in which the way Foley talks up his admiration for porn stars (She's more intelligent than people assume, when you know more about her you realize she's doing this job that is more difficult than people think and putting herself at risk to titillate people) is exactly the way Foley fans try to describe why they like him to non-wrestling fans (it's way harder than people think.  He's sacrificing his body for our thrills.  It takes way more intelligence than people give it credit for and once you know more about him you appreciate it more).

 

I'm pretty sure the Duchovney thing was similar...it was like an editorial or interview where he put over how porn stars are like these martyrs who are ostracized for doing something that helps sad sackes like him through depression or something. 

 

They're still real to him...the boobs, I mean...even though they're really not.

 

At the very least, after years of hearing (and buying into) this image of himself, I can see why Foley looks for that in people and can kind of see how one could assign some weirdly similar mystique or something to porn stars.

 

Wasn't (Isn't?) Duchovny a noted sex-addict?

People need to lay off Foley. OK, so he's a bit eccentric, but by retired wrestler standards, he's doing fine.

 

Foley has:

 

-never had a sex tape.

-not been divorced 4 or 5 times.

-never shown up to an event drunk or stoned out of his mind.

-by all accounts, been a great dad.

 

Really, some harmless letters to some porn stars aren't that big a deal considering how some of his peers are doing.

Yes and he's a known degenerate. And he's being compared to Mick Foley. The difference is Duchovny is 50 acting 30. Foley is 50 acting 13.

I remember one promo where Foley called out Flair on his rampant sexism and pointed out that while he could see a woman like Christy Canyon as a friend, Flair could only ever see her as a sex object.

 

Which is fair enough.

 

But Foley stumbled across her watching porn so he was objectifying her first.

One of the best parts about being a wrestling fan is finding out how insane the performers are as a sub-culture. I'm sure there's actors out there (My guess: Larry Miller) who have a similar thing about writing porn stars letters or what have you but you never hear about it. But Wrestling As Sociology, we manage to get all of that information. Imagine what we DON'T get?Also: One of my least favorite things in the world right now is the INSTANT ANALYSIS OF THE MEANING OF POP CULTURE EVENTS AND CRITICISMS of stuff like Breaking Bad. (I haven't seen an episode of that show yet, but that's the big one right now.) I mean that stuff annoys me to no depth. Especially stuff like Talking Bad. Then I realized that the IWC has been doing that stuff since as long as the Internet has existed, essentially.

Could you imagine the hilarity of a "Talking Bad"-style show after Raw on Mondays? If the network ever gets off the ground, wouldn't surprise me if it happened - they'd have nothing better to do.

 

"Let's go to our next caller, Paul, from Philadelphia ..." "Yes, I've already broken windows at the Trocadero and I will not hestitate to do so at the Wells Fargo Center. I said no salt in my margarita! No salt!"
