For proper size reference, those are just normal-sized lamp chops they're holding...

I tried to get a buyer.

Man, the Tunney's ain't going to allow no outlaw outfit to be running in their backyard.

I hope he sues the fuck out of everyone and wins everything.

Jet Blue has capped the cost of plane tickets out of Florida at $99 Delta.... has not... https://finance.yahoo.com/news/jetblue-caps-ticket-prices-florida-99-ahead-hurricane-irma-173232462.html

The look on Drake Younger's face in the last second of that clip: "Welp, that was some nutshot."

To all the naysayers, I don't think they could have handled the Asuka situation any better. They didn't even bring up her injury to my knowledge. They just said RAW and Smackdown want her and it is time for her to go. She came out of this so much better than if they pulled the "30 day" rule. Now she looks like the woman who "beat" NXT. She's undefeated, held the title longer than any champion since probably Hogan, and now she's leaving because she has nothing left to prove.

Let's put an end to the TNA/Impact/GFW saga for good. Please. Think of all the great retrospective documentaries we can get out of this on WWE Network. Kurt Angle will be like "My whole TNA run was an alcoholic haze. I thought I was demoted to Velocity the whole time."

No, Thomas Rich is the world's worst Tommy Rich.

Let's be clear about something. No matter how you feel about the Patriots there is never a bad time to shit on Roger Goodell.

If they move to Toronto and start hiring, I will do everything in my power to work there so I can answer these kinds of questions.

AND YOU CAN'T TEACH THAT

The last thing I think about when I hear "Kairi Sane" is that goofy jobber on Smackdown or that cringey NXT stable. But maybe that's just me.

That's exactly what I was thinking of. I just really want a weekly wrestling TV show that takes the best parts of good in ring wrestling, different Corgan-era production values and stories, and the charm of stuff like Being the Elite and Southpaw Regional Wrestling.

They could just air Being the Elite as is and probably get a better rating.

The franchise that won 8 championships currently resides in Baltimore anyway.

The only NFL titles that matter before the Super Bowl era are the ones the Packers won because they were always the best team and never actually lost any time in history except to cheating losers. Especially, in the 1970's.

I started work on a symphony. This will be the last time I say anything out loud about it until it's done.

On this episode of The Flintstones..

FTFY

Might be my favorite low blow sell in a long time.

Can "X-Pac heat" please be renamed "Ziggler heat?"

Why was she kissing a toilet seat?

This new celebration rule in the NFL is going a bit too far in the other direction!

That's not even remotely true. It's downright insane this exists though:

Wore my Elias shirt today for the first time and one of my buddies asked if he was a country singer. Mission accomplished!

For MMA fans, there's a face people immediately recognize. It's the face of someone who is about to get crushed by Anderson Silva, Wanderlei Silva, Cyborg, etc. Before whatever Alexa vs Asuka match or Sasha vs Asuka match, I want them to have that face. They need to look scared for their life. They're in the ring with a fucking terminator who is going to kick the shit out of them and rip their arm off or choke them out. I want 15,000 fans chanting "ASUKA'S GONNA KILL YOU!" Anything less will be a disappointment.

I'm watching that trailer and waiting for Tesla to make his run in. And then it's teased. And then he's revealed. And I got goosebumps. This movie looks so motherfucking cool. I've seen more trailers this year that left me with a huge dopey smile on my face. Now those movies need to actually pay off. (I still haven't seen Baby Driver )

The story of Adonis seeking revenge for his father's death is so...boring. It sounds like some direct to video shit. It was already mentioned, but the better story is revisiting the dude Adonis took the title shot from. OR...or...you go the Rocky 3 route and it's Adonis vs a character played by Conor.

Holy shit. The only thing I could think of during that main where Braun fucking flung Big Show around like a bag of feathers was the "Do You Know That You Are Very Strong?" page from Sesame Street's The Monster At The End Of This Book.

Maybe Razor would have gotten a title reign if Vince ever got around to seeing Scarface.

The NWA probably still communicates by carrier pigeon

Like they make Rock piss in a cup. The issue is getting movie studios to let him do it.

Lest we forget Rey High Mountain and Dos Mil Siete Bellwood?

Someone at Bungie must have heard Craig's complaints about vehicles because toward the end of the game there's a mission where you steal a Cabal tank that's super fun.

Jesus Christ, Dixie Carter really was the Saddam Hussein of TNA. From the outside it looked like a complete incompetent/sleazy shitshow, but somehow, she did just enough to keep it moving along. She gets removed from power and the wheels come flying off.

Nothing short of Mar a Lago getting wiped off the face of the earth by Irma will pull that trick.

I wonder if they booked themselves into a corner pushing Shayna as far as they have. I think they want a quality match for the final and I'm not sure she's up for that even with a pro like Sane in there with her, let alone as possibly carrying the NXT title. But they also wanted to keep Baszler strong for (or "in case they pull the trigger on") a 4 Horsewomen vs 4 Horsewomen angle. So unless they give her the win and the trophy, which would kind of be an insult to the woman wrestlers, she's getting beat by cutey patooty Kairi, who WE know is great but I could see someone in the front office balking at. I think having Mercedes eek out a win with cheap heel tactics not only would have pushed the "this wrestling, not MMA" narrative but also gotten Shayna out without losing face, got a good heel in the final for Sane to bounce off of, and given a woman who's busted her ass for so long a nice showing. But that's just me.

WARNING: DO NOT READ THIS WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT IT IS. IT PERTAINS TO MY FRIEND'S SUICIDE AND PULLS NO PUNCHES, I HAD TO PUT THIS SOMEWHERE FOR CATHARSIS, l JUST COULDN'T KEEP IT INSIDE, BUT I DON'T WANT TO BLINDSIDE ANYONE WITH THIS EITHER. Stopped by to see how Ramsey (my friend's dad) was holding up, and as expected, he's going to move to his place in Vegas and his job is cool with him making the transfer. A lot of questions got answered, and while they explain a lot, it sure doesn't make it any easier to comprehend. Alex had apparently been drinking a lot, unbeknownst to anyone around him. His relationship with his GF was apparently nothing but a bad one that had devolved to nightly screaming at each other sessions over the phone. What's really awful is that his last minutes were recorded on his cell, he's drunker than fuck and telling her that he's doused himself with a gallon of gas and he's going to do it. You can't hear her response and then the screaming starts. It's fucking awful, but I keep telling myself that he doesn't have to hurt any more. Yeah, I go through the bullshit beating myself up that I should have called him and maybe I would known something was wrong and I could have said something that would have made a difference. Total bullshit, Alex was a smart guy, one of our many points of commonality was that we both have IQs in the 160s. If he wanted to keep something hidden (and he obviously did), then he was more than capable of doing so. The bottom line if I've learned anything in these sixty years (and I hope that I have), is to let the people you love know that they are loved. Don't ever let one of your regrets be "I wish I had said ----------to them." Don't put it off, say it! For those that read this, thanks for doing so, and I'm sorry to drag this into your lives. If it helps anyone in any way to get through the next twenty-four hours, then I'm glad I posted it.

Pro wrestling w/o carnies is not pro wrestling. - RAF

Had a really great time with this. Thanks for organizing S.K.o.S. and hopefully see you next year!

This month has a new Ys, a new Metro is and a new MvC but I am way more excited for Gundam Versus on 9/29.

Wouldn't the WWE having an organized strength coach be an argument against the "independent contractors" thing? Maybe they have them now, but I think the WWE no-brainer they've missed is not having tour buses for the talent. Put them on buses like they're Bon Jovi and they can rest on the bus to the next town. That also pokes holes in the independent contractors thing, though. Crossfit's "dangerosity" is that they do these Olympic lifts to muscle failure. Olympic lifts require a precise amount of form or you can fuck yourself up. It's hard to have form when you've lifted a barbell over your head 20 times as fast as you can. If they did, say, dumbbell curls to failure, then you just drop the dumbbell, no big deal. If you're doing an overhead press and fail, you have a bar full of weights over your head that you can no longer lift. Best-case scenario involves you messing up your shoulder.

So this just got added to Amazon Prime This is the most must-see trailer of anything I will ever show you guys ever.

Brilliant way to offload those Jack Swagger figures that didn't sell.
