So the WWE is just gonna catch zero blowback over roidy mcroidface performing on drugs and not being tested then? Wasn't Benoit supposed to stop that crap?

Have you seen the Rock the last time he was working there? They clearly don't care.

Man, if Rusev turns out to be the Jerry Seinfeld "Death Blow" of Rogue One Bootleggers.

Only issue is he'll need a 3-camera setup and additional cameramen for Manchester by the Sea.

Hopefully, nobody tapes some bad dancing over the ending.

Some of us still believe in consequences for actions opposed to pittance and apathy. 

The next four years are going to be quite rough for you, then.

I just want to take this time right now at 5:30 am PST to make note that Terry Gordy in 1988 is the best Hoss ever.

Oh, and Hansen was insane. 

Young, spritely Kawada made such a great AJ Ricky Morton in this classic.

Freaking Tenryu.

One of the greatest tag matches ever.

So THIS morning, I dreamt about Brock living next to my mom's house where he raised horses and zebras that were running through the back yard. He was mad at me for pissing on his "icicle hanger" (whatever the fuck that is). 

Turned on FS2 after I woke up and Brock is about to fight Hunt on UFC 200. Go figure.

His dick

He was taking about his dick

Which one though? The one on his crotch or the one on his chest? 

EDIT: Well I guess there's only one you can hang an icicle off of. Rippa's Freudian analysis notwithstanding, I thought it was some kind of ice cube container that he had out in the yard or something. Woke up before he could beat me up though he was advancing. Also, I was standing on the back deck smoking a spliff that was sans weed, which I had to explain to my friend that offered it about the drug testing mentioned above. 

Right before that I was trying to buy ingredients to make chicken tikka masala. I need to stop eating weird things before I go to bed

Been watching the NJPW stuff on the Fight Network in Canada (Currently running the 2014 G1) and I can't escape the feeling that Josh Barnett might be the best color commentator in pro wrestling today.  He brings interesting analysis to the fights (Like discussing how AJ Styles' gloves are benefitting him because it's hot in the building and the gloves let him get a better grip on a chinlock than he would get with bare hands), occasional first-hand experience, and, most of all, he's really funny.  On the episode I just watched, after Naito mocked beloved underdog Honma and got booed for it, Barnett said "Look if you kick a kid out of a wheelchair, no one's gonna applaud you. I don't care how talented he is!".  Then later, when Yujiro Takahashi interfered in a match and Mauro Ranallo said "Why is Takahashi in there", Barnett replied "Because he's a prick!"  I honestly can't think of a working color commentator in pro wrestling who's as interesting and entertaining as Barnett.

Barnett;s great.

Part of me wonders if he'd be outstanding working for Vince, or if the "Josh Barnett" sucks thread would be on page 22 by now.  After all, most people really liked Mauro's work before he joined the WWE.

I kinda wonder if anyone is capable of good work with Vince yammering in their ear.

Damn Caley, are you still on the Mauro stuff? Wait until Good Ol JR comes in, that might knock Barnett down a peg but he at least keeps it together through all the bitterness. 

As a reminder for those of you who get AXS TV, World Pro Wrestling tonight is presenting us 

Liger/KUSHIDA

Okada/SANADA

Goto/Evil

THEN

Shibata/Nagata

Omega/Bucks vs. Team Tanahashi

THEN

Ishii/Naito

So set up your DVRs or snuggle in with a bottle and a bag of popcorn, it's gonna be fun!

I am super annoyed that I don't have Axs TV.  There was a time where it was somehow On Demand on the mobile app.  They since took that away so I'm left without a way to watch it (though if somebody knows of another way please message me)

But the times I heard Barnett he's fantastic on the show.  I was heavily amused when he slipped in a Fire Pro reference some time ago.

I love Josh Barnett, but I also feel like he's uniquely suited for NJPW. He's the best color guy largely because of his personal experience in Japan, working with guys at the dojo, deep knowledge of Japanese wrestling history and his shoot fighting background gives him credibility when trying to describe the kinesiology of goofy wrestling holds.

I have no doubt, given the references that he drops that he's a huge fan of 80s WWF, but I doubt he'd be given the freedom to really flex his talents in the WWE or if he'd be well suited for any other product besides NJPW
