I hope some of this gawker money ends up going towards john graziano's medical bills.

Matt Fowler at IGN had a great tweet earlier wondering if Terry Bollea will share any of the money he won today with Hulk Hogan.

He's just a SMW baby face?

Hulk Hogan won't even put over the legal system.

Now...what was the question?

FTFY

Dirty Orange Boy

He was really nice to me as a kid but I'm like super white

It should be noted that it feels like all of those Baker and Van Fleet accomplishments should have an asterisk because they have been in school for approximately 13 years.

The term SMW baby face somehow reminds me of when I met Cactus Jack at a SMW house show. He wasn't allowed to sign autographs unless people bought something. For folks that didn't look like they wanted to part with 20 bucks for one of his old WCW shirts, he suggested picking up the autographed Tammy Sytch 8 x 10s. I may not be exactly right in remembering what he said, but it was something to the effect of, "Only 5 bucks. Great ass shot." I didn't really have a point in sharing that, except to say I like sites where such stories can be shared. So, where were we? Oh yeah, Hogan. Seriously,

Octagon, the Chuck Norris movie, had ninjas in it. Octagon was named after that movie, and his mask is supposed to be a ninja face (the white part is the skin showing around the eyes) Pentagon was created as his Black Tiger. He was supposed to be an enemy ninja that studied the five angle style instead of the eight angle style Octagon mastered. You may still think the name doesn't make sense but you just aren't used to the true lunacy that would come from Antonio Pena's ideas. This is mild shit. So there were a couple Pentagons, Pentagon Black, and a thousand Mini Pentagons, but only one Pen

Coming off the juice when returning to WWE did not help Bubba Ray and D-Von in the long run.

If only IWA Kokusai was still around, Grandpa could form a trios team with the Geezer & the Scalper and then feud with Goro Tsurumi. Failing that a Ganko Pro special might work too, they've run some tribute style shows with the likes of Goro Tsurumi and I believe Ryuma Go before his passing.

TNA would like to announce the 30 man Gawker Guy Memorial Battle Royal this year at Bound For Glory.

Much Ado About Nothing is not only the very best movie Joss Whedon has ever made (by a HUGE margin), it's also for my money the best nontraditional Shakespeare adaptation ever made, with Kurosawa's Ran being the only other one that even comes close. It is a completely fucking brilliant work of cinema, perfect in almost every way ("almost" being that, like every modern version of Much Ado, it's got little idea of how to make the entire Claudio/Hero subplot not come off as the most disgustingly misogynistic thing ever, which is Shakespeare's fault in the first place). It's easily one of my favor

First two days of this tourney are the best basketball of the year for me.

Fifteen years ago today, the final WCW PPV aired:

Hogan got laid and paid a nine figure paycheck. THAT is how it's done, Buff Bagwell.

Dixie carter has now left 2 messages for the Hulkster in regards to a sweet investment deal. And 12 messages about investing in TNA.

True art provokes such questions.

This is odd. EDIT: Oh man, death match of the year! ---------- I dig the Taurus match around the 18 minute mark.

Coke dealers everywhere are celebrating today.

In unrelated news, Jimmy Hart just called Hulk Hogan with an idea to bring back Wrestlelicious.

I got you, fam.

With the tickets, I was just wondering "wait, what the hell are those?" because we didn't get a good look at them and I didn't understand what they were supposed to signify. With the other bit at the carousel... if that happened, then I guess I walked away from the screen for a minute, because I've got no memory of that whatsoever. Mea culpa.

I'm aware of who VileOne is. And I'll never try to shame somebody for enjoying something.

Is this really worth fighting over? Jesus...

One of the answers to Jingus' questions is a spoiler for later in the series: Also, Grado was a murderer and a member of one of the gang's involved in his family's death. Maybe to Frank, he just needed killing.

The thought of Jim Ross yelling "Pho! Pho! Pho!" just came into my head and I chuckled.

I had a blast watching tonight. You can count on CMLL for good wrestling most of the time but when they combine good wrestling with stuff actually happening it makes for a much better overall product. Even the crappiest match tonight had something happen at the end which sets up next week and is a fresh match-up with lots of possible outcomes (UG vs Ciber). My favorite match was Volador/Negro. Negro is an absolute legend. What 56 year old tries a super frankensteiner and takes a sunset flip bomb to the floor? THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU OLD MAN? Loved the shots of both Casas' daughter & Vo

I think right now, between having to kill himself to make 145 and most likely becoming a mainstay at 155 in the near future, the safe fights are going to be scarce. I think the safest 145 fight actually might be the riskiest fight at 145 (especially in the eyes of most people). I think despite the fact Edgar is a hell of a wrestler and crazy active with very underrated power, the size disparity might be too much. I mean Edgar could fight at bantamweight and not be massive whereas McGregor is walking at 175-180+. That could be tough sledding for either guy. My mind would change everyday on that

We've had two pretty fantastic days of ball...super entertaining tourney so far.

When I was 10 I headbutted my sister, but I did it exaggerated WWF style. Like JYD. Rear way back with the head and then I drove my forehead into hers as hard as I could. She cried, but I hurt myself too. I wasn't allowed to watch wrestling for a while after that, Many years later, a friend of mine had to some major work to the low-rider truck he owned so he bought a run down piece of shit to drive around in until he finished the work. I think he only paid $250 for it and this was like 13 years ago (but it did run). Anyway he decides he doesn't want to bother trying to sell the junker to som

https://twitter.com/GIVEBENTHEBOOK/status/634788845075087360 Pentagon, Jr. retweeted my Tweet and the LU account liked it. Or vice versa. Or some combination of those. I don't remember. My point is that you should consider Pentagon's sweet ride here as canon. Print this out and stick it in the front of your Lucha Underground comic. Bayley isn't being driven around in a Cero Miedo-mobile by a vampire pope. She's just walking around, trying to sidestep creepy old men in ugly shirts asking for hugs.

LMAO. Is this the next evolution of MM? I didn't know we took personal or political stances into account when deciding which wrestler had a better year. Touche for finding something in the ring and in the time period though. That part is hilarious to me for some reason. I anticipate Rollins bouncing back next year when his relationship with a Nazi is no longer in the voting period.

I personally thought it was the weakest entry in MCU:P2 and probably the worst movie that Joss Whedon has ever directed, but I still wouldn't say it's "bad". Not in a world where things like Frank Miller's The Spirit still regrettably exist. Heck, we've even got much worse examples of "lame followups which take great iconic characters played by the original actors and proceed to shit all over them", like X-Men 3 or Superman 4. It's hard to get terribly mad at Age of Ultron when it at leasts manages to give us a bunch of really fun individual moments: the party at Avengers HQ, the Hulk/Iron Man

This whole Mania season is like a nightmare for the writers and agents. Like, a literal nightmare. "It was the road to Wrestlemania but most of the top stars were injured and nobody liked the guy we kept pushing but we hadn't built anyone to take his place and the Undertaker was fighting Shane for some reason and when I got to AT&T Stadium I was naked and all my teeth were falling out."

Who would have Hogan would come out as the victor in this whole mess? It seemed like he was completely down-and-out, but somehow he came back in the last minute and won the whole thing.

I know this is The Natural's routine, but I do love this picture:

Was one of them emo-looking and another a big samoan? And was the other homeless? ...and did he master your titties?

Negro Casas hitting a senton on Dick Togo on WWF TV.

I have no idea why any of us thought this was a good idea, but in a beginning theater class in high school, I took a DDT on the fucking cement floor and two of us picked up the third kid and threw him through a table. Not a wrestling table, but a poker table of sorts and that fucker was sturdy. The assignment was stage fighting and so we decided to do wrestling shit in the context of a fight that would break out at a poker table in an old west saloon. We got an A, but the teacher was pissed we broke her table.

I'm honestly unsure of who would win an MMA fight between Rogan and Punk. I'm leaning towards Joe.

Pinàta! Pinàta Pinàta!

Bayley used her injured arm a bunch with no selling during that finishing stretch. Particularly the shoulder charges in the corner. That was dumb. Oh, and one more thing... HEEEEEY, WE WANT SOME BAYLEY !HEEEEEY, WE WANT SOME BAYLEY! HEEEEEY, WE WANT SOME BAYLEY !HEEEEEY, WE WANT SOME BAYLEY! HEEEEEY, WE WANT SOME BAYLEY !HEEEEEY, WE WANT SOME BAYLEY! HEEEEEY, WE WANT SOME BAYLEY !HEEEEEY, WE WANT SOME BAYLEY!

Edge and Christian taking the piss out of everything wrestling is awesome.

I would have loved that Sami-Shinsuke announcement so much, if I didn't fucking know about it a month ago.

You modded the N64? All you needed was to take a dremmel to the cartridge. Loved that game though. Really prefer it to NO MERCY because it's not all sllloowwwwwwwwwwwww

This is kinda making me want to dig out my copyThe best thing about having modded N64 and an imported Dreamcast was playing the japanese wrestling games. #gg2000
