Delusional heel Steiner doing crazy math to boast about how great he is seems legit all-time amazing, like the type of slightly unhinged promo that stands up there with the best of them. It's an all time great promo. The math; Steiner's incomprehensible speech at times; Petey Williams, as Maple Leaf Muscle trying to make sense of it all. It has it all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without watching, my money is on the mongoose, those little bastards are fast. Did you know that a black mamba is the only venomous snake that will actually chase you? True dat. Mean SOBs. Most snakes just want to get away from you, the black mamba wants you to be very, very sorry that you ever saw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Lord Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 The worst part of the Steiner promo is he got injured so the match never even happened like it was supposed to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Hardy should start painting his face to look like a mongoose.

Just enough to kill 15 guys my size, I'm a shade under 6' and 250 lbs. I've also heard that they will bite more than once, just to make a good job of it. Rather unpleasant creatures and I'm generally fond of reptiles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like a joke, that way: if you have to explain it ex post facto, it didn't work. Stanley Cavell in the philosophy department at Harvard used to put it this way: "It no more counts towards the success or failure of a work of art that the artist intended something other than is there, than it counts when the referee is counting over a boxer that the boxer had intended to duck."

He can’t just come out and say look I write the show but if someone above me comes up to me and says get Charlotte in a match with no notice however you can we don’t care if it make’s sense, isn’t what I tried to do more then that. The truth will only set him free in the literal sense, as in no job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're saying, in a metaphorical sense, that Road Dogg and the writers aimed for WWE fans' hearts and instead hit them in their stomachs? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 That's what they do, man. They take smiles off faces. Not only does Impact not have a heel authority figure right now, they have no on screen authority figure at all. The board of directors only made TV for like five seconds, and the camera was behind them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 On the subject of poisonous snakes Back when I was in college the pet store in Alma had a rattler of some sort. My friend had a boa or python or whatever. We went into the reptile room one day, I was just kinda along for the ride. The moment we walked in, the thing reared up, tail rattling, and started striking the wall of it's aquarium head first, hard. *Rattle rattle BOOM rattle rattle BOOM" trying to escape and kill us both. I feel very very confident given the chance it would've chased us all the way out of town in it's efforts to kill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
