"No honey. I don't care if he's Sting. We're not buying a house from a guy that looks like Fred Durst."

Kushida: #1 Babyface in the whole world

Really awesome shot from the Slam Wrestling Tom Farhat obit of a Detroit battle royal with a young Randy Poffo in the jean shorts.

The Japanese gov't seems pretty confident that they are going to get everyone inoculated early next year. My wife is a Hospital nurse so as a family member of "essential personnel" I might even be in the first few waves of people being vaccinated. I'm hoping that optimism turns out to be justified. I'm looking forward to not worrying about it any more. To regular dinners out with my wife and daughters. To going drinking with my friends. To going to live wrestling shows, and yelling and screaming until my throat is raw. To walking around in Osaka or Kyoto or Nara before or after work, and seeing what I can find. Going to movies. Buffets and beer gardens. Trying out a new izakaya or restaurant or taking a look inside a shop I haven't been in before. To working out without a damned mask on. To not getting mad because someone else in the gym isn't wearing a mask, or isn't wearing it over their mouth and nose. To going anywhere that isn't work, the gym, the supermarket, or the convenience store. To going to work, the gym, the supermarket, and the convenience store without any anxiety. I hope I'll really appreciate all of those things for a good long time, that I won't just take them for granted after a few weeks.

Wow. Well, now there's no excuse. BOB took over playcalling duties and ... the playcalling still sucked. Time to fire the Offensive Coordinator, the Head Coach and the GM. Oh wait, it's all the same motherfucker. Fire Bill O'Brien. Fire him into the sun.

I'm pretty sure this is what is written on the back of his football cards.

Sting looks like a retired motocross rider now.

It's so dumb. There is no one to cheer for in this mess. FTR doesn't give a shit about Tony or they'd do something about it rather than standing there. They aren't the babyfaces. Imagine someone attacking Gordon Sollie during an interview and Dusty just standing there. It wouldn't happen. The Bucks (or the one that was there) don't give a fuck about FTR because they'd attack them rather than the random announcers for no purpose. If they actually wanted the belts they'd go after FTR. If they were actually upset they'd go after Page since he was the one who cost them a match that spurred this turn. Instead they are going after employees of the company they help run and probably helped hire for ... reasons. Page has been hurt immensly by this angle by turning from a badass drunk to a sad drunk who turned on his friends (The Young Bucks who he didn't like anyway), got turned on by the people he was trying to be friends with (FTR) and is still being a sad drunk now. Omega is turning heel for I don't know why and did it over commentary instead of having any sort of actual heel moment in the ring accept being aggressive against people no one cares about like the lower members of the Dark Order or Marko Stunt. Don't get me wrong, they've successfully made the classic heel team with the classic heel manager who just cheated to win the most likeable people in the story. It's just amazing.

I believe that is the same SNME where Piper had the Halloween sketch with the kids. Boy he had all the Colombian marching powder he could handle before he shot that.

All that's missing is COCAINE! across the screen as if it were POW or WHAM.

Put it on your kitchen table as a nice Thanksgiving centrepiece.

I didn't think it was possible to make the Giants more boring but here we are

Mostly moral reasons, yes. But right when the shutdown happened, the job I was working at the time enforced a pretty steep pay cut. I trimmed the fat on a lot of what we were spending money on and that was on the list. I actually somehow landed a new job during all of this mess and realize that I am a very lucky person.

SMU had the right idea. Throw them all out.

Sigh...

My first born is due on January 11th and to say I am fucking pumped about the little guy arriving is an understatement. (I'm also equally shitting it at the same time).

the plan ought to be "Sasha is moved to RAW and will thus never* get a title bout with Bayley (cue top-notch gloating from Dos Straps over having successfully ducked Banks) unless Sasha wins the Royal Rumble, which she of course does" since they're more than worthy of a Wrestlemania conclusion after all this time. but that kind of narrative patience seems in short supply these days

AND I dig promo photos wherein the wrestler has his/her eyes rolled back into their skullbone. The usual rogue's gallery delight me with this: Sullivan, Brody, Abdullah, Lewin, Sheik - Undertaker is the modern example but he did it in the ring more than in pictures. - "it's thee manifestation of their Evil!", RAF

I <heart> <heart> <heart> Satanic Kevin Sullivan. I really do. - RAF

Andrew Yang just tweeted that Yokozuna is joining the Hart Foundation next week

Now they just do it whenever someone kicks out of their 3rd tier signature move 5 minutes into a RAW match. "How did he kick out of my belly to back suplex?!"

You know damn well that Gene would be like, "What WORLD LEADER has recently fallen ill? Find out tonight on the hotline after Nitro!" and then it would end up being that the mayor of Paducah has a regular ass cold.

Baker came back from a layoff and had the best match I've seen her in not involving Shida or Riho, and all JR could talk about was how big her shoulders are. That's not a problem? What if Patrick Mahomes came back from injury, threw six touchdowns, and all Joe Buck could talk about was how big his guns looked? As far as racism in commentary goes, I literally said in my post that there have been studies and I specifically mentioned the one about portrayal of black QBs and white QBs. It's something you can go look up. To sum up, white athletes are typically described as owing their success to their intelligence and drive, while black athletes are described as owning their successes solely to their physical attributes. So yes, saying nothing about a black wrestler except "she's athletic" has roots in systemic racism. But why read up on something when it's easier to just say something's not true? It's 2020, that's how we do it now I guess.

Today, the part of the Atlanta Falcons will be played by the Cleveland Browns.

Only watched the main and holy hell Holly Holm just devoured Aldana. She DOUBLED her previous best sig strike number. She fought like her family was held hostage somewhere and needed the win to set them free.

How is Page not the most likeable guy in this story? And it's likely just a matter of time till he returns to beeing a badass. His current sad-phase is just the calm before the storm. He'll probably become something like murder-Ibushi when he finally "snaps". Considering Young Bucks... yeah, I don't really know what's the plan here.

The N1 Victory finals will be held in Osaka on the 11th. Presumably, that's why I thought the Carnival finals were in Osaka. I got mixed up. Anyway, I think that Nakajima vs Kiyomiya (N1) and Zeus vs Miyahara (CC) both have the potential to be really good and very hard-hitting. I wonder who will put on the better final. I hope I'll be able to watch both matches.

That was honestly probably my favorite tournament match, but I thought I might be alone in this. Really glad you enjoyed it as well! Day 5 (9/26) was probably the most skippable show of the tournament so far, with only the main event (Shiozaki/Kitamiya) really worth watching. All the big three matches in today's final tournament show (KENOH/Sugiura, Nakajima/Marufuji and Shiozaki/Kiyomiya) were really good again, but once again I would go with the Nakajima match as my favorite of the day. Can I also just say that I really enjoy this smaller tournament format with only six competitors per block. I love the G1 Climax, have watched all the shows so far and plan to watch all the remaining shows, but 19 tournament shows can be "a bit" overwhelming. If this one was 19 days as well, I don't think I would have checked it out at all.

Two weeks into his SEC career, and we’ve already attained Peak Leach—score a huge upset one week, lose to the worst program in the conference the next.

No limits. If a band/ artist perfectly captures what you value in music, than their albums would be rated highly. The main goal is to challenge yourself over time with new types of music and/or see if you can add at least a 26th band to your 100.

Feels like we’re coming to the end for Will Muschamp in South Carolina.

Watching Roman manipulate Jey was amazing. He starts with the 'it hurt me more than it hurt you' spiel. He just wanted to help his cousin earn main event money for his wife and children. All the pain could have been prevented if Jey would acknowledge Roman as tribal chief. Then Roman flips the story. Says Jey embarrassed the family and in turn, broke Roman's heart. Makes it seem like his cousin is overly obsessed with the title. Gives Jey another title match at HIAC. If Jey accepts though, the consequences will go far beyond what anyone can imagine. Then Roman gives his cousin a hug as he whispers not to accept the offer. Which he knows Jey will. Which gives Roman the excuse of demolishing Jey beyond hope this time. Jey walked into Roman's trap. The match at CoC was just a preview. The actual bloodbath is on October 25.

From March, in the growingly beloved sleazy indie J-Stage, Rina Yamashita and Natsu Sumire take on Maya Yukihi and Saori Anou. Man, I need more Maya Yukihi in my life. ================= More Kyushu Pro! Quality Indie ACTION! MALE NAKED BUTTCHEEKS~!

January 8th, 2021. Renewed for Season 4 too.

How did Gene not crack after “Cold blooded redneck right out of the closet.”?

New movies in theaters eating out at restaurants playing new games Stardom's 10 anniversary show end of Attack on Titan

How old’s your MOTHER(!)?

Good god do I love this show.

Didn't want to perpetuate the stereotype? ?

So I was playing last night and I decided to do Vader vs. Brock (after all the fun of the if there was a time machine that could bring someone from the past back to face someone in the present discussion in the general wrestling thread). I had the match at an MSG from the 1980's that I found. It was a fun hoss fest. Vader had the match and Universal title won until Heyman distracted the ref. Vader goes up to the top rop for either his Vader clothesline or a crossbody (I'm not sure) but Brock caught him in mid air and turned it into the F5. Even for a video game I was like HOLY SHIT.
