I was looking for The State's MTV Sports parody sketch, but couldn't find it. I loved The State. Those were good times in my early teens.

Yeah. Somebody a few years ago made a cool version of a (then) current roster with “Thorn In Your Eye”...

HAHAHAHAHAH! EAT IT WHICH EVER HARBAUGH COACHES THE RAVENS!!!

Say what you will about the tenets of tanking for a draft pick, at least it's an ethos

I'm just bummed we never got to see Sid in MTV's Rock n' Jock Softball Jam with Dan Cortese.

That being said I also watched Disorderlies more times than any human should so I pretty much eliminate any good will the black community I might have earned RIP Buff Love

May your entire year be spent looking as boss as Shinya Hashimoto

There are few things worse than a happy Bills fan. Fuck 2017.

Oh, and Chewie kinda pissed me off. Had a perfectly cooked game porg, and just threw it away. It's already cooked, it ain't coming back, go ahead and eat it!

I'm looking forward to an entire offseason of "Jimmy G still has never lost a start as QB!" hot takes to justify picking the Niners to win the NFC West.

with President Dusty Rhodes

I'm not gonna lie: as soon as Tim Storm dropped the belt, I lost 99% of my interest in this NWA project. The videos with him were great...Nick Aldis and Austin Idol are boring the fuck out of me.

Same. Don't care.

Eh, I don't think Percy adds much, but he does have one redeeming feature. He's not Booker T.

I don't think I have ever seen anything Woody Allen has ever made.

Ok I'm coming around. D Mitch should have been #1. Kid is fearless.

11 pages later, some of you have some really interesting takes, a LOT of really good observations (the Jedi books thing I saw but didn't process, and then, "mind blown"), and because of those I want to see this movie again. Then, some of you perfectly justified your position on my blacklist, because your opinions are shit.

You know how to follow up all these disturbing Mick Foley bumps?

That was basically me, except I was watching at home by myself. Such an improbable outcome at that stage of the game. I'm glad they all remembered to put clothes on before they started filming.

Boooo.

LOL RAVENS! So happy for the Bills and all the Bills fans out there.

Wrecking the ratbirds season totally redeems this team. WHO DEY???

No one predicted the Bills would reach the playoffs, hell most had them at 3 to 5 wins. Always that much sweeter to prove everyone wrong. Finally get to stop hearing every year about the playoff drought, its your turn now, Browns.

TOUCHDOWN BENGALS ON 4th AND `13

HA! So both of the Dolphins weapons got tossed and not a single Bill That is something

Just say "Oh wow" while blocking off your nose and you've already replaced him.

I hope you enjoyed that Cavs title Clevelanders because this is the price you are paying

I've never seen a Polanski film.

Fucking Matt Millen

"THIS IS A MAN ON MAN ISSUE"

"I'VE BEEN ON THE YOUTUBES...."

I made that one of his alternate appearances in VPW 2 for the N64

I hate the NFL. Since they moved all the games I care about to 4 PM, now at 1 PM its just a bunch of games that mean nothing.

I think Holly being too jittery (especially if she's shaking like a leaf just entering the cage) takes a lot off her punches because she's moving so much. She landed a few hard punches here and there, but nothing to make Cyborg respect what she had. The one thing I was impressed with is how Cyborg saw ALL those high kicks coming and didn't let that become a factor. Holly didn't even come close with one. She took away Holly's biggest weapon in the arsenal and forced to be a boxer, which I don't think Holly wanted to be in this fight. Essentially that meant all the space Holly really needed to stay away was gone. So Cris never really had to cut the octagon off at any point.

I do wish she would've used the right straight-left hook combination Parillo was asking for. The jab was nasty though. It rocked Holly at least twice and I could see it putting lesser fighters down. Nunes wants to fight Cyborg, I'd be down with that. Would be a blast to watch and it wouldn't be unthinkable for Amanda to KO Cyborg.

and all of Hokuto No Ken is on Hulu. That includes HnK and HnK 2 (though HnK 2... well isn't very good) James

It just amused me greatly to see that the show immediately following Raw on Monday when I went to autotune it is something called NFL Football Fanatic. I'm sure Vince is REAL happy about that...

Unfortunately, that seems to be a recurring theme throughout these films that I mentioned. That would even disqualify something like Beat Street which fits into those early to mid 80s breakdancing/early hip hop films because poor Ramo died fighting a homeless vagrant in a subway tunnel and got electrocuted by the third rail. In the Hughes brothers/John Singleton era of filmmaking (I would also throw in Bill Duke because he had A Rage in Harlem, Deep Cover, & Hoodlum), I think everyone was fascinated with doing a great crime film and telling a story about what black people were going through at the time that the youth element played a background. It just so happens that most of the hottest available talent at the time was mostly 30 and under so they went with those people. Spike was really the only person trying to make conventional coming-of-age films and even then, all of those are confined to Brooklyn. So basically, there isn't a black Stand by Me or Dazed and Confused. Even something like Dope which does fits that mold, I know the opinion is fairly split. That's a film that had critical acclaim (including non black people). Yet, a large contingent of the folks it was aimed for don't like it. Go figure. I'm guessing that's why you don't see a ton of films like that. If you have to figure out how to woo the nerdy/artsy suburban black people, the "________ is not a monolith" woke, everyone should be a feminist, herbal tea drinking, Insecure watching black people, the Love & Hip Hop and whatever housewives show following black people, and the black folks who typically don't support film anyway by patronizing theaters, then it's going to be extremely difficult doing a film most people can relate to whether it's coming-of-age or not. So the people who don't follow or care about black issues or know nothing about sub-Saharan Africa besides late night poverty porn infomercials but still plan to go to the opening day of Black Panther dressed like a member of X Clan aren't necessarily going to give a shit if they made a Boyz in the Hood or Menace II Society now without the criminal element. They relate more to SDCC and D23 Expo than South Central LA.

So Sid no showed a match due to the Trump travel ban. What a startling killer of kayfabe. Clearly not from wherever he damn well pleases.

In one of the earlier PWI 500s I remember seeing a guy named Tamba The Flying Elephant

I think he's more known as Cock Knocker, myself.

Some Mid-South 82 thoughts: Watching Arn Anderson (I mean Marty Lunde) getting absolutely trucked as a jobber is so bizarre to watch. It just doesn't seem right at all. He's really trying to hang onto that hair too. Bob Roop has become one of my favourites. I've never really had a chance to watch him before and his work is fantastic. I wish they'd run more with him as the paranoid asshole North American champ. He got the title shot by fucking with the engine of Paul Orndorff's car! But I get that they wanted to get to the Dibiase heel turn... Speaking of, I was pretty underwhelmed with Dibiase as a face. Fine wrestler, but pretty bland in a Terry Taylor way. He's been fantastic as a heel. Him, Duggan and Matt Borne are such a great sleazy stable. Look at these cocky assholes: Pretty hilarious how they cannot decide how to pronounce Duggan. One episode in late 82 Watts is pronouncing it Doogan, stops to say that its supposed to be pronounced Duggan and then immediately goes right back to saying Doogan. Mr. Wrestling II looks like he's wearing a diaper. It is very unsettling. One thing Mid-South is not that great at is promoting monsters. One Man Gang is introduced as nearly unstoppable and is at least 100 pounds heavier than anyone else on the roster, but after about a month he's bumping around like everyone else and wrestling 50/50 matches. I feel like Kamala is about to go the same way. Boyd Pierce doesn't add much to the show, but damn does the dude know how to dress.

TBH I never liked his comedy but his life story is fascinating. That trailer doesn't even mention the preacher beginning he had.

I just watched "Gilbert", and it's outstanding. I can't recall a film that made me cry my eyes out then had me laughing so hard that I was technically still crying. Wonderful.
