Wyld Samurai Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I had Juno back in 1996... Because you didn't need internet and it was free. It was great. I ran an efed through that 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I think it's funny that people still get hung up on the Juno account or the email coming from Herb Meltzer mainly because I first subscribed to the Observer in 99 or 2000. Basically, whenever you could email your credit card info to Dave (imagine how fucking crazy that would be now) and you're sending it to some Juno account and it's going to a dude named Herb. Back then you're like, shit, I hope this is going to Dave. Also, who uses Juno in 2000? 18 years later it continues. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HumanChessgame Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Myself and my parents all got Juno accounts when we finally got a home internet connection in 1996. I kept my Juno email account until 05/06 when I finally got on the gmail bandwagon. That email is still active and I occasionally use it if I need a dummy account for something. My dad still uses his Juno account, but he also uses a flip phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I am currently watching South Eastern Women's Wrestling at Creature Comforts Brewery, Athens GA. It is service industry night and all profits are going to support groups dealing with sexual harassment in the service industry. You will never attend a more hipster wrestling show than this. Needless to say, the wrestling makes GLOW look like New Japan (edit: the last two matches were a little better). I kind of want a Stone Cold Jane Austen t-shirt though. I will post some photos in a bit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Stone Cold Jane Austen? That is the greatest gimmick in the history of our great sport. What's her finishing move named? Final Persuasion? The Emmasculator? The Bodice Ripper? Don't leave me in suspense, man! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanya Trucker got peepee on her though, so I don't really blame her. She hit a Stunner that was so slow it could have been a Kikutaro spot near the start. https://www.facebook.com/sewwrestlers/ Poster spoilered for size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an enormous amount of sexual harrassment that goes on behind the scenes in bars and restaurants and the like. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Yeah, I don't doubt it. I didn't come to America to be a social commentator, but I definitely learnt some shit. The show itself was free, so I believe it was merch proceeds. Service industry people were getting craft beer at significantly reduced rates. There was also Filipino food.

Dolfan in NYC Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Enzo was on Austin's podcast and said the original plan for Raw 25 was: The poker segment was going to lead to him betting the CW Title and losing it to the Million Dollar Man. He was then supposed to wrestle Goldust without the strap. Later on Nia Jax was supposed to join the poker game and win the CW back from DiBiase. Everything was blown up and canceled around 5pm when he was sent home by Vince after the sexual assault tweets came out. So... mixed blessings?

That sounds absolutely terrible; not even entertaining in a terrible way like a Nazi frozen in time, now in modern society with a Jewish manager. ...or Shiek Tugboat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who still uses their totally embarrassing username that I came up with 20 years ago on many corners of the internet, I don't think a juno email address is all that bad. I still get a kick out of logging into my student loans as DevilSaint78 after all these years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
