In defense of Chicago, you could always replace "Chicago" in this statement with "FSW".

The key to it is understanding how awful Chicago and it's people are. They don't care about wrestlers. They don't care about athletes. They don't care about their teams winning or losing. They only care about themselves. The Chicago hivemind has one sole collective thought: how can we make it about us? As someone from Chicago I'd say that's a fair bit of generalizing and stereotyping on your part. Just about everyone I associate with is mainly interested in the athletes they cheer doing well, their teams doing well, and not so much in themselves in relation to their interests. Sure, there ma

John Terry is a cunt and this day should be celebrated.

That Jackie Gleason pic is awesome. Now for some Hama-time

In honor of WOTD: Guys Who Fought Andre Week, here's a fantastic pic of the man in action that I've never seen.

I didn't know you and Antacular were friends.

Phil leaving really did break you.

So well put.

I don't know what's worse, FSW's anti-Shield gimmick or the fact that he doesn't know the difference between its and it's.

That ship seemed steadied, did it not?

Ok late in the month but the Missing Link pic immediately triggered.. him and Nancy. Also, to the Hogan haters, idk if you are young or just the brought up to hate /Apter esque hipster fans,but just think,. If it wasn't for Hulk Hogan 70% of u wouldn't have any idea of wrestling let alone this board. He's not that bad, and I know we do this all the time, but look up any Japan Hogan. Finally,Two words..... KING BOOKAH

Trish and Lita were on another level of hotness here, both polar opposites in terms of character as well which made them a great fit for each other. Albert circa 2000 seems like a bad person to work a complicated knocklelock sequence with. That little episode seems to provide the theme for the match, which is mostly really sloppy, but the crowd is hot enough and there's a fair bit of drama to keep it interesting. The guys in crowd are super in to the idea of Lita vs Trish, and the girls love them some Jeff. Matt throws some great punches, even back in 2000. Big pop for Taz, this crowd seems p

What if you're a known idiot and no-one takes you seriously anyway? Asking for a friend...

Dee Snider (right) My homey Kevin wanted to go to the con and couldn't, asked me to get him Haruo Nakajima's autograph. He was Godzilla in Destroy all Monsters and a few other ones. They said "Hey, photo is free" and of course, I had to send this one to the Kevster.

At least a full season. She's a real scene stealer.

Watching FSW become a comedy gimmick unwilingly makes Punk leaving worth it.

I'm not going to defend the New Age Outlaws in 2014, but they were far from the worst thing in wrestling, let alone the world, in 1998. The Insane Clown Posse was in the WWF in 1998, for Christ's sake.

It's just raining chunky snow that accumulates and melts. On a God Damned Saturday.

I watched Captain America: The Winter Soldier Friday night. You’ll be aware that since the subtitle to this film was revealed at San Diego Comic-Con 2012, it’s the film I looked most forward to mainly because of the source material but also for Captain America: The First Avenger and Avengers Assemble. Captain America: The Winter Soldier is great. Captain America: The Winter Soldier is easily the best Marvel Studios Phase Two film and one of Marvel Studios best films in the top tier with Avengers Assemble and Iron Man. The film is a spy thriller mixed with a comic book film, I got a Jason Bou

Speak for yourself. I grew up in Flair Country. Woooooooo!

I was going to be all "it was garbage, do people not remember it was garbage" then I realized I was 14 when this happened, and I do remember it, so now I'm just going to lament a terribly used youth. Have a nice day!

Finally a real name for Ambrose's splendid move! It isn't my chosen name, but "Dirty Deeds" both has the word dirty in it and sounds kind of like something William Regal would name a move, so I approve. Terrific SHIELD matches again with them all getting to look great, even Reigns who smashes dudes after the matches. I still feel such a swelling of pride seeing the SHIELD smashing fools. Must be how sports fans feel when their team wins. I liked the other stuff, too, but things tend to get lost when the SHIELD are on and kicking all ass. You know? And that dark match picture... John Cena

Can't you just make Dole Whip at home for $4.00? I know, I take the joy out of life!

Gainax should make a Miley anime. It MIGHT capture the insanity.

I am such a dork I was so happy that Patrice was in the wedding party

They're just showing The Room on a loop They are playing THE Jackie Gayda match all day.

I'd like to point out that the crowd WHAT-ing Hogan during his return to the WWF after nine years was a Chicago crowd. You know, not because I think it means anything, but maybe FSW can tell us how this ties into his Grand Theory of Chicago Crowds. Note: Hogan pointed out that Chicago fans ran Michael Jordan out of town to go play for the Wizards, which I'm sure FSW can expound upon as well.

I wonder how the long the walk to the ring is going to be. My favorite is WM X-7. Austin's strut to the ring was so awesome for that. Daniel Bryan's will be so awesome for this.

Look man I have enough trouble keeping the air bills for me and my girlfriend paid, I can't take on another one.

Oh man I hope this becomes a US show because I would watch this

People complain about Schiavone and Madden, but that was an incredibly compelling call of that match. The entire storyline was very well built for being a one-show angle with an obvious outcome.

Triple H's return on RAW at Madison Square Garden in January 2002.

The women's division continues to be a major highlight of the show, and that main event was crazy good. Bo almost decapitated Neville on that lariat.

The Taker v HBK contrast was great. Also loved Taker's entrance with the 'souls of the damned' reaching up and begging. Reminded me of Hades in the Hercules cartoon (in a good way)

FIVE ELEMENT NINJAS WAS AWESOME

In my mind, there were two main eras: Eddie Graham as lead babyface from '62 to about '68, then Jack Brisco as lead babyface from '69 until he won the title. Of course, there were tons of other top babies: Les Welch, Jose Lothario, Nick Kozak, Red Bastein, Don Curtis, Joe Scarpa. My personal favorite was young Wahoo, when the Dolphins picked him up and he started wrestling in Florida, about 1966. Imagine the Wahoo you've seen on '80s video, but in football condition, mobile as hell but still stiff as shit. Great feuds with Boris Malenko and Johnny Valentine, but the best may have been a short,

Seems like Cesaro is organically becoming a face anyway. You probably can't stop it now unless he purposely starts having shitty matches. It started with the giant swing and the fun-to-chant catchphrase, but now, just like the Shield, it's obvious to everyone how good he is and you can't boo a guy like that for long.

Still the best PPV Poster.

I haven't listened to ARTPOP that much since I bought it. I liked it, but it didn't keep me very engaged. I should go back and revisit. Re Kylie: here's one of my fave videos and tunes from her.

Okay, first time reviewing a full show, but since I nominated it, I feel like it should Test, Albert, and Trish Stratus vs. The Hardy Boys and Lita It's almost kinda easy to forget how good of a tag team the Hardys were, and it's easy as shit to forget that Test and Albert were actually pretty damn awesome. Seriously, they could have been one of the better tag teams in the era if they stayed together. I never saw a match with them where I didn't think they were incredibly impressive as a team. This also is a weird situation as it's a WWE intergendered match where the women could be in th

If we don't get an X-Presidents-type cartoon on the Network from this, I'll be disappointed and will have no one to blame but you for making me think of it. I want a rehash of the Pro-Stars cartoon with wrestlers. Pro-Stars was a crime fighting team of Michael Jordan, Bo Jackson and Wayne Gretzky who was the wacky sidekick. I'd love if they redid that with Cena, Undertaker and someone like Dean Ambrose as the nutty but loveable sidekick. Bless you, sir. I was trying to think of what that cartoon was called the other day. Yeah, that would rule. Or Hogan, Austin and Cena fighting wacky vil

The Houston Oilers have a nice ring to them

Was Perfect one of those abnormally strong guys, because it really looked like he decided to make that Perfectplex twice as hard as it needed to be just because he could. Lifting a 230+ pound man over your head and doing a controlled neck bridge is insane, especially when you don't do it in one fluid motion. The guy threw a football 50 yards in the air then ran down and caught it himself. Enough said.
