Get better friends

I sense a match review in the future where someone in all seriousness says, "Used to be a pineapple to the face would be an easy 3 count, now it's a transition move. "

There were going to be a lot of regattas and ski races and camp-based olympiads to win in the process too. All that fucking training I did and none of this ever came up.

See guys this is why I just don't have any friends. Too much of a hassle. Yep. That's the reason.

Well, if he hated the Zayn match, you might as well write him off.

Two sweet me, bro!

"I'm the Nature Boy! I've got the documents!" Based on everything I watched as a child I thought my life would definitely involve saving a lot of rec centers from evil land developers.

I just can't believe they don't have Don West shilling this Gold thing for them. I mean if you want someone selling Gold, it's Don West. FOLKS HAVE I GOT A DEAL FOR YOU TODAY. IT'S GOLD. LITERALLY GOLD. GEM MINT 10 STRAIGHT FROM THE VAULTS GOLD.... Of course, Jarrett has a lot to work on. He's no William DeVane. Yeah that was in 1995. That was just to shoot footage for an episode of Baywatch around an episode with Hogan and Savage helping to Lifeguards save some rec center from Flair wanting to buy it or something

Two matches before this one took place you got undiluted greatness.

I don't see why people are getting up in arms about Roberts pulling Stripling. -Yes he had a no-hitter, but he had four walks and four strikeouts, and only threw strikes on 58 of 100 pitches. Not as if he was mowing Giants hitters down left and right. -It was the first start of his major league career - he's not an "experienced vet" like Kershaw or Price or Greinke or whomever. -He's never thrown 100 innings in a season, so there's no history of durability there either. -He's two years removed from Tommy John surgery. -100 pitches was also a career-high at *any* level since being drafted. Last year, he only topped 90 once. -If you don't trust your bullpen to get five outs and protect a two-run lead, your bullpen is dogshit and you're not going to win a damn thing anyway. Oh right - it's the internet. Logic doesn't apply.

I'm not anti Southern, I grew up in South Carolina, but Peyton does not have a good voice/accent for this sort of thing at all. He might be better than Simms but so is an earache.

6 servings for Tazz or 6 servings for a full-grown human?

Yeah, I was talking from bell to bell. Comedy Central used to regularly play this great recap of the entire Kaufman/Lawler feud called I'm From Hollywood. It looks like WWE keeps pulling it off of YouTube, but here's part 1.

The name is whatever the fuck Haku wants it to be.

I'm going to say this because it aggravated the fuck out of me. Whoever decided to have AJ Styles and Roman Reigns to do a promo together needs to be fired or retired. Roman has the charisma of a cockroach. His tired ass lines and his tendency to say ass to appear edgy is as annoying as the fact that he literally has no character. "I'm not the good guy or bad guy" routine would be interesting if Roman actually represented something and had the capacity have some moral ambiguity. CM Punk was an interesting tweener. Asuka is an interesting tweener. Roman are just boring character that is ripping off bad 90s action movies. You are trying to build heat off a match up by doing the wrong shit. Then his line of "I am the GUY" with emphasis was so terrible that I almost laughed if it meant anything to me. Turn him heel already and stop bullshitting, WWE. AJ trying to be the underdog experienced guy does not work because unlike Daniel Bryan, AJ works like he is truly "Phenomenal" in a sense. He is gifted at everything in that ring. He can chain wrestle, he has better power moves than Roman himself, he can work stiff, he can fly with the best of them, and the only thing he can't do is talk which is forgivable because he is an ace in that ring. Daniel Bryan was an acquired taste who looked like an underdog and worked like one in a style that is rarely appreciated outside of certain wrestling circles who adored guys like Dean Malenko and William Regal. AJ can never work like one because he is so damn talented at everything and even when he was jobbing, you could never let go of the fact that he is way too damn good to be Christian's lackey. WWE should just give up on the whole "experienced WWE newcomer" template that they give their indy guys because it won't work for everyone and AJ Styles is one of them.

"Protected" is a great word for Dany, because she's nowhere near as badass as many people pretend. Has she even killed a single person with her own hands? No, seriously, has that ever happened? Because everyone else from Catelyn to Tyrion to Arya to that little bitch Joffrey to even freakin' Samwell have had to get their hands dirty at some point or another. Not Dany, however; she ALWAYS has someone else do it for her. Her enemies are always dispatched by one of her fanatically loyal bodyguards, or her army of perfect clone-troopers, or she simply has her dragons nuke the site from orbit. You know who Dany is honestly most similar to? Sansa. Both are the (seeming) last scion of a formerly royal family, now fallen upon hard times. Both are in way over their heads, and are incredibly naive about the sinister machinations of the people who surround them. Both are constantly pursued by a long line of suitors, who want to use the young lady's name/power for their own ends; and there's also a whole bunch of lecherous creeps who just want to fuck the noble brains right out of these jailbait girls (both characters were supposed to be like twelve years old when the series started). The only difference between them is that Dany was handed a bunch of fireproof dragon-controlling superpowers and entire armies of rabid henchmen, while Sansa has spent the entire series locked in a large number of small rooms and hopelessly wishing for the sweet release of death that never comes.

One of my favorite short lived gimmicks finally online. Ooyanegi as the lost WWII soldier from T2P debut show vs TARU. Complete with Space Cruiser Yamato theme. IIRC, the gimmick got turned into a Japanese schoolboy.

Thanks for the answer. I remember discussions on this board about bad treatment of fans during MLS games in American football stadia. Happy to see more and more clubs using their own grounds.

Why? And that's bullshit because wrestling has worked that way all the time.

Lenny on Laverne and Shirley set that precedent. Baron needs the big L on his shoulder.

You don't have a guy come into your organisation and let him go over at THE SHOW. He came out of that feud looking super strong, without actually really damaging Jericho. Sometimes it's like some fans just want their dude to win like every big match they're in, which is not how wrestling has ever worked. I am actually really surprised AJ is getting the push he is, right out of the gate.

Hot fuck, this show ruled. The main event tag was great , AJ Styles as the main man on the show was sweet, all the other stuff was good but man, I fucking LOVED that Ryder vs Miz match. And that's something I never thought anyone would type, let alone myself. But hot fucking damn. I've been high on Miz for awhile but Ryder has always left me cold. When his "self generated " push got squashed a few years ago I thought "Good. That guy stinks." But man oh man, this match was PURE Asshole bad guy vs TOTAL good guy. Super groovy pro Rasslin .

Well obviously don't drop the ones who DID like the match.

Gambling on Madden tournaments. Sign of a true diehard... Addict.

They absolutely must have a garbage match that tears through the set and makes use of all the beach-themed props. Or better yet, forget the arena and really kick it old school.

I really hope they recreate the old BATB entrance.

His landlords say otherwise.

I wonder if Ric will get in Charlotte's ear about great workers being able to carry bad opponents. "Eva, tonight you're Ricky Steamboat!"

I can't believe Dixie Carter didn't think of this first.

I imagine the prospect of Alex Riley vs Elias Samson scared a lot of people off.

One of the good things about Miz having the IC title is that it frees up KO to move up into the world title picture. And losing it the way he did at Mania keeps Owens looking strong. It's one of the relatively few pieces of good booking going on these days.

I laughed and laughed and laughed some more seeing Owens flip the stairs for Jericho. And then he tells Chris in a "Hey, I took care of that for ya." kind of way. Owens is so damn good at what he does. And I'm really glad to see Maryse back, always liked her for 1. The obvious reasons and 2. being a good bitchy heel. If you want to say it's a downgrade from Owens having it, I get it. But Miz as chickensheet heel champion needing Maryse to help him is going to be super fun TV.

You want a good wrestling related cooking Youtube channel??- let Gene Snitsky look after you

Owens was hilarious in the main event. Saying "We get it. We get it. You have a suit." during Cesaro's entrance and tossing the ring steps for Jericho during his tantrum. Great match too.

In a team interview I was part of, we had a guy come in and tell us about choking a co-worker who made him angry. My fellow interviewers RANKED THE GUY AS THEIR TOP CANDIDATE AND HE GOT OFFERED THE JOB. if he had actually gotten hired, I would have quit. Couldn't believe the whole thing.

C.) Reigns beats Styles clean, Code Of Honor, Styles leaves to give Reigns his moment, Karl and Festus run in from the crowd and attack Reigns leading to Ambrose running out for the save. Tease a little dissension between Reigns and Ambrose before Payback though. Ambrose asks for a title shot on Raw, Reigns says he couldn't even beat Lesnar at WrestleMania, Ambrose says Reigns has never beaten Lesnar either, Reigns tells Ambrose he's beaten him before though. Ambrose says he'll be in the back of the line if he needs him but he'll see him at the front soon. Fist bump. Still bros. Then after Payback, Reigns and Ambrose call out Styles for siccing his boys on Reigns since Styles couldn't get the job done. Styles denies any involvement. Ambrose and Styles go one on one. Styles gets shitcanned to the floor, Karl and Festus jump Ambrose, Reigns out for the save. Styles still denies any involvement. Next week, Styles and Ambrose again one on one, Reigns at ringside on commentary to keep an eye on things. Styles gets shitcanned to the floor again, Karl and Festus run out, Reigns gets up for the save but Finn Balor jumps him from behind and blows mist in his eyes. Then he posts Styles and The Balor Club put the boots to Ambrose to go off the air. Next week, Balor Club formally introduced. "My name is Finn Balor. I'm the NXT Champion. I'm Triple H's most prized talent signing. And this is my club. The Balor Club. We're already worldwide and now we're taking over WWE. I'm the real rock 'n rolla of the WWE Universe. Not that old has been Jericho. I took out Hideo Itami cause they said he was a big star out of Japan. What a crock. Yeah, I'm the one who did that. I'm the biggest star out of Japan and I'm not even Japanese! I beat Kevin Owens to win the NXT Championship. Kevin Owens isn't Balor Club material cause he's fat. Look at my abs! Dean Ambrose, yer chainsaw, I sabotaged it! It should have been me against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania. I would've painted me self up as the vilest demon imaginable. You, not one drop of paint. And AJ Styles. You had the nerve to try to steal my club when I left Japan. You had the nerve to try and call yourself the leader of my club..." "Hey, I'm not one to gossip, but I gotta tell you, when we were in Japan, AJ would talk real good about you to the press but off camera, he'd pull me aside and say, "Karl, I really hate Finn Balor" and I'd be like "Why, hoot? He's a good brother." and he'd say, "I think he's one of those new gay guys." "All those months of hugging Bayley in NXT. Let me tell you all, her hugs aren't very good. You know who hugs good? The big guy here." "Awww hell yeah, c'mere, hoot." "Yeah, that right der is a good hug. Take notes Bayley. I'm the NXT Champion. I can hug anybody I want to. Not like you people here. I can hug supermodels if I want to! And when I beat Roman Reigns and become WWE World Heavyweight Champion too. I'm going to hug two supermodels at the same time cause that's how Balor Club parties!"

Last Saturday night, I ended up breaking a significant dry spell with a lovely young woman I met on this very internet. Though I enjoyed myself, I felt uneasy throughout our encounter. As though I were being watched. The next morning when I woke up, I found out why. I now realize this feeling was the spirit of Big Sexy guiding me. On my drive home, I could only think "Zakk_Sabbath went home with a black girl, I guess to show that he's cool."

... Oh my fuck.

Man I hope they never make a Stab Brody shirt

Is it possible to have too much bridge on a German suplex? Sources say yes

Damn right! More people should follow your example and just finally stop watching Monday Night Raw. Wait, what thread is this?

STAY THE FUCK AWAY, VINCE.

I'd pay to see No Ma'am take on League of Nations at Mania.

Alicia Witt gave a really good performance in this episode, kind of bummed she's already gone.
