My tastes must have changed from puroresu to lucha because I'm now getting Meet Latina Women ads on this site as much as Meet Asian Women ads.

Oh that's exactly what's happening. You could tell by the way Goldberg came out, barely mentioned Lesnar and talked about the world title without once referring to another wrestler, or even the world champion by name. I predict we won't see or hear from Lesnar between now and Royal Rumble and he'll come in and eliminated Goldberg, setting up their last match at WM. You know, they could have king-sized Kevin Owens by having him come down while Goldberg was talking about his last title run, and had Owens say something like "There's one little problem, Grampa, I'm the world champion. I'm not just going to give this title. You're going to have to take it from me." You don't even ever have to have them wrestle, but just have him stand up for himself. I think that's the biggest problem with watching Raw, is just how many missed opportunities there are at elevating/getting people over. It's not even wins/losses, it's just having guys look tougher or like they give a shit.

Hard to make new stars when these guys are writing the show: 'Membah Bill Goldberg? 'Membah Shawn Michaels? 'Membah The Undertakah?

Hey you know what, for a guy to go from Indy jobber to main roster in 3 months is absolutely amazing. Congratulations James.

The bigger problem is that Baron was taken off the team due to a leg injury that he just seemed fine now. If Baron hobbles down on a crutch and blasts both guys with it, great. Instead, he runs in and beats up two guys and instead we got an exhibition of Shane McMahon's fists of fury.

Cesaro has no one but himself to blame for that loss. If you see him tapping and don't hear the bell, why the fuck would you let go?

Yeah but if he tries to buy just one anywhere in Toronto, the crowd will insist he gets 10.

Personally, I was an angry youth who was frequently getting into trouble fighting authority and I loved big boobs. WWF RAW was perfect for me.

I would love Dr. D as Santa Claus. At the mall, some kid tells him he's a fake santa, D slaps the shit out of the kid and asks him if that was fake.

I have seen a punch exchange like above since this:

Today is the first day I haven't had a drink in years. Without a doubt this'll be a difficult and shitty 8 days.

Just trademarked/registered a shitload of board names..

There's lots of great wrestling moments in your average calendar year of WWE. Enzo and Cass' debut. AJ Styles debut (Styles wins over Cena were pretty great, too). Strowman's first squash match on Raw. Nia Jax putting Alicia Fox through the barricade. Sasha-Charlotte getting the Raw main event (Replete with Charlotte's insane moonsault). Bayley's debut on the big roster. Goldberg's return promo. Daniel Bryan's return. The Miz promo on Daniel Bryan. Yeah, you have to wade through some crap to get there. But the highpoints outweight the lows. And if they don't for you, for the love of God, it's 2016, watch something else!

I feel like this conversation happens every year whenever the first guy goes out on RAW and says they are the first guy in the Rumble. It is obviously meant to mean that they (in this case Goldberg) are the first person to announce entry in to the Rumble, not that they will be be person who starts the Rumble match in the #1 spot.

It's for the same reason I still watch current WWE despite getting almost no enjoyment out of it. I'm chasing the wrestling dragon. It might take weeks. It might even take years. But I know deep down there's going to be a great moment or great payoff that is going to make all of this worth it.

Belt? It's a championship, PAL.

Today I went back to my apartment to watch princess robot bubblegum on tv while I actually went deer hunting irl. I did this to keep the game on for a while so my plants would grow at the grow house. when I got to the garage, I noticed a TRON bike laid down in the street so I proximity mined it then went upstairs. I was getting my camo on, half listening to the tv when I heard the kaboom and looked over to see I had gotten a bite. Agreed, its the little things. I got him 7 times in a row during that before I got bored with him. I gave him a pass and the lil twat came back later and got one back on me while I was in a pause menu or something.

Don't bump for Brock? No problem, he'll just kill you.

Dude. If WHOOSHES and irony were a renewable fuel source, we could permanently convert to wind power with that press statement.

Good, fuck off. Maybe Matt Millen will cry some more. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18115641/former-penn-state-nittany-lions-players-upset-deandre-levy-comments-joe-paterno

Brock's follow up Tiger Knee from half way across the ring was sick too.

For as bad as WWE can be at times I am enjoying this past year or two way more than say post-mania 24 through Mania 29.

i luv u, lumbernerd steph

Or the time Brock got tired of his lack of ability and just potatoed the hell out of him.

The payoff has to be Triple H beating Goldberg once again to finally set the record straight that WWF > WCW and by transitive law HHH > Lesnar.

Bret's hair always got terrible after a few minutes of wrestling. By the end of Wrestlemania 12 he looked like a palette swapped Doink the Clown.

It was mentioned earlier that this show had only 5 matches. I just want to mention that I think 5 matches is the perfect amount. I can actually watch the entirety of a Takeover, whereas the standard Big 4 PPV is an absolute chore midway through.

I'm hoping for more fresh material. Coming soon, never before discussed topics: 1. Monday Night Warz! 2. NWO 3. Montreal Screwjob. 4. Mr. McMahon/Austin 5. WCW Died.

He can hold up signs like Chip Kelly only with words on them. "RUN THE BALL!"

It is pretty twisted that nothing makes me happier in this game than catching some dumb bastard in a clothing store and blocking him in with a sticky-bombed car. It's the little things.

He can't be pinned down because he doesn't know what he's doing. He's making it up as he's goes along.

"That's gotta be...that's gotta be....Cain!"

Pete and Johnny are back. We take you back to the good old days of Houston Wrestling from the Sam Houston Coliseum. On the Docket for the night: 1. Bruiser Brody vs Alex Smirnoff 6/11/82 2. Al Madril vs Killer Karl Krupp 1/6/78 3. Hacksaw Duggan vs Skandar Akbar LLT for 30 days cage match 9/27/85 -Pete and Johnny give a brief history of the feud. Pete shares his thoughts as a 13 year old being at this show live. Pete also goes into detail why he wanted to go to this show really bad. 4. Moon Mulligan vs Mike Graham 12/4/81 5. Tully Blanchard vs Manny Fernandez 12/4/81 6. Gino Hernandez vs Dick Slater 12/4/81 -The Dynamic Duo vs Dick Slater feud is one of those forgotten feuds that is brought back to the forefront because of this service. We get to share the greatness of this feud with all your listeners. Furthermore both guys analyze the matches, and Pete gives his star ratings on all the matches.

That was ridiculous. The toughest thing to me is to keep out Penn St. if they win the B1G. That's where I agree with Joey. If you win the conference and also have a head to head win over Ohio St. I don't see how Ohio St. can be #2 but Penn St. left out. I can see the Buckeyes being ranked ahead of them sure but to leave out Penn St completely would be rough But also fuck Penn St.

That's the danger of using the spear as a signature spot. It's really, really easy to sustain head and neck injuries delivering it. That's exacerbated by the fact that the move looks better when the form is more reckless, with the sort of pronounced launch football is trying to legislate out. A safe, heads up tackle doesn't look as impactful.

I could be way off base, but part of what I think what keeps so many coming back, especially anyone around my age range (25-35) is the unspoken promise that every decade or so there's bound to be one of those big time cathartic WM wins-- Austin at XIV, Benoit at XX (obviously tainted now) or Bryan at XXX for example.

*hugs Ryan*

That moment? The roided-up old coot who laughs manically at "SPARKLE CROTCH" and poop jokes announces his retirement, and his provably competent son-in-law takes over the monopoly.

I think Roman spiked himself on the way down and had his bell rung too, he just recovered and continued while Shane had his lights totally put out.

I don't think the issue is that Brock is incapable, but that WWE is incapable. Wrestlers overcome losses all the time but it takes planning to put over/create someone and I think due to recent history very few have faith in WWE doing it with Brock. Since returning in 2012, WWE hasn't been using Brock in that way at all, so it would take a shift in thinking for that to change (and Brock being interested in whatever the program is).

That was horseshit. Fuck those refs, fuck those Raiders, fuck Derek Carr and his eyeliner, fuck Bill O'Brien, fuck Brock Tebow, fuck everything. I should've known they were gonna job the Texans when they managed to call DeAndre Hopkins out of bounds when he never stepped out of bounds. Can't review that? WTF?!!! And those spots in the fourth quarter. EVEN GRUDEN IS SAYING YOU GOT IT WRONG!!! Gotta have your narratives, I guess. Texans are terrible, Raiders are great. I hate everyone.

Yeah. There is something innately askew when we wake up with the valid and reasonable thought of "Oh thank god, it's Mitt Romney."

I think the bigger issue that I am seeing people have is that yet again it is a part-time star of yesteryear being put over instead of "creating a new star" Of course - then you get into the whole "WWE's inability to create new stars" thing

There need to be quotes around "Singers" and "Violinists" from last night

"You know Mean Gene, I was in San Francisco, I was downtown lookin' for a wo-man. You know what I mean? I WANTED A WO-MAN!!!"
