Game 5 (of the then 5-game series): Blues vs. Pens. April 14, 1981.
Double overtime in the final game. Back and forth madness. Mike Liut and Greg Millen were throwing themselves across the ide making maddening saves.
Mike Crombeen, who had ten goals all year. 4th line tough guy...scores the series winner.
I'm somewhere in this mess...but behind the other goal and ten years old.
It was only when I got home that I got to hear Dan Kelly's awesome call:
"...AND THE CHECKERDOME HAS EXPLODED!!!!!!!"
Back then, kids would gather by the locker room and they would hand out busted equipment. I got a borken Perry Turnbull stick with bloodstains on it. I taped around the cracked part so it would stay in one piece, but cut little notches in the tape so you could see the blood. Still have it.

Fuck. That. Shit.
What the hell Piranesi.
From the Wiki-poo:
Soon afterward, it became clear that there was something eerie about the doll. Eugene's parents said they often heard him talking to the doll and that the doll appeared to be talking back. Although at first they assumed that Eugene was simply answering himself in a changed voice, they later believed that the doll was actually speaking.
In the night Eugene would scream, and when his parents ran to the room, they would find furniture knocked over and Eugene in bed, looking incredibly scared, telling them that "Robert did it!". In addition, guests swore that they saw Robert's expression change before their eyes.
When Eugene died in 1974, the doll was left in the attic until the house was bought again. The new family included a ten-year old girl, who became Robert's new owner. It was not long before the girl began screaming out in the night, claiming that Robert moved about the room and even attempted to attack her on multiple occasions. More than thirty years later, she still tells interviewers that the doll was alive and wanted to kill her

And Arsenal signed Higuain, Torres, Suarez, Rooney & Fellaini. And by signed I mean have done nothing of the sort.... For those of you that follow football.
Dude, no worries, any number of 40-pound, 15-year-old Frenchmen will soon be on the payroll.
Excited? You betcha!

I'll assume this is one of yours:
If you've never seen Robert the Doll before, look it up before clicking on this, or you will pee

During RAW they had a thing where the USOs were tweeting and their big joke was:
"We won't need a shield on Sunday at Money in the Bank!"
Brilliant, right? But as I tried to remember if anyone ever actually did bring a shield to their matches, I realized it was more than just an amazingly clever pun. It was a little giveaway to the big PPV surprise:
He's back.

The music in 2 HEADED SHARK ATTACK is killing me. It's that same repetitive DUN-DUN...DUN-DUN...DUN-DUN that they use to build tension on, like SURVIVOR and ICE ROAD TRUCKERS.
But forever...forever....forever....

Every line, every little gesture and head tilt, every smirk is so finely tuned. Even her little joke asides to jobbers like Angel are delivered with so much nonchalance.
And then she gets this special kind of focus in her eyes when she's talking to Dexter alone. I loved how she noticed when he was pacing around with his "killer face", recognized the darkness partially in control, and recoiled a little. Not out of disgust but like a lion-tamer who's just pushed things a little too far. But then she quickly recovered and swatted him down: "You're agitated." and he sort of got hold of himself.
Rampling and Lithgow need to be forced to procreate for the good of us all.

Guys winning the briefcase and then getting their first title run from it didn't seem to stick.
I don't even think the title run was the payoff. It was the year of being in a top storyline. Basically giving a guy time to be out there and try to get over. WInning MitB today is kind of like winning the IC belt 20 years ago. It's a thing you have for a few months that guarantees you a slot and a story and was a gateway to the next level.

I was so close to using Piranesi.
Would never work. You trade in aphoristic bon mots. The word count of my posts would gas you faster than Tugboat.
Besides, FSW trended WORLDWIDE last week. Piranesi last trended in Venice in like 1770.

I'm kinda stoned and read that as "curse words from Rodney Dangerfield". I would still like that to be my vote.
Ironic thing is, the best curse word of guys like Rodney and Buddy Hackett was always "member."
-
The problem with the RAW version is that the whole point of MiTB was that it would change someone's career. It meant elevating someone and sending them surging up the card.
All these guys are already up there. What is the difference between Daniel Bryan with the briefcase now and Daniel Bryan without it? Either way he's in the title picture.
What's the difference between Punk with the briefcase and Punk without it? Nothing. Either way he's still in the 2nd slot against whoever.
Orton? With or without the case is the same.
It seems like it doesn't change anything that would have happened anyway.

Worse Deborah Morgan = Riggs.

I am way less hating this than I should be, for one reason mainly.CHARLOTEE MOTHERFUCKING RAMPLING!Chalotte Rampling is fucking awesome. I have some Netlfixing to do, becaue I've totally not noticed anything she was in. I mainly remembered her as a rather stiff 70s starlet. But, My God, she was breathtaking. Quick, someone recommend me some Rampling!Usually I hate when the retcon extra stuff into a creation story just to keep a series going. But she is so good, I will buy anything she's selling. I like the idea of a mother figure, the one relationship they haven't offered him yet.I take back every bad thing I ever said about Quinn now that I know is outgoing voicemail message not only quotes but actually attempts to imitate Tommy Atkins from NIGHT OF THE CREEPS ("It's Quinn, Thrill me")There has actually some good dark moments in this so far. The road rage thing was stupid and gratuitous, but finally getting to see Dexter have trouble holding his temper with his son was good.Deb's stuff has veered from intolerable to surprisingly okay. Like during the hidieous scene in the store with Deb, I was thinking that either AJ Lee is a way better actress than I've been giving her credit for or Jennifer Carpenter is hideous because one of them is channeling the other in terms of line delivery.But then they turn around and give us a great scene between her and Dex in the motel. After that, I'm actually willing to give the Deb stuff time, since it revolves around at least a dramatically satisfying idea, that she is in a misery he cannot understand, since he is free from guilt and she is not. It works that Dexter now sees her as "changed" and no longer innocent and that Rampling may need to get her out of the way.But MORE RAMPLING. I fairly well marked the fuck out when she actually said the words "We mad scientists" while wearing a lab coat and cutting into someone's brain. The fact that she's going all Magneto trying to undersatnd and justify her own condition is going to make her maybe the most sympathetic and tragic bid bad since Rudy/Brian Moser.

Moroni curse words from Johnny Dangerously-
My God, you are a beautiful mind.

So annoyed at how people kept looking up at the briefcase on RAW while they were wrestling.
Just looking at it is so boring. Ask yourself "What would George Steele do?" He would have jumped up and down in the middle of the ring trying to shake it loose, not understanding the difference between "Now" and "Then" or "Here" and "There."
He would have climbed the turnbuckle and helplessly swatted away at it like King Kong...and it would have been awesome. These guys are too cool for school.

I handled it with the class and distinction I'm known on here for.
How did Amanda Bynes handle it?
DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I'VE HAD TO WAIT TO PAY THAT OFF!!!!!!!!!!!

2 HEADED SHARK ATTACK in it's first four minutes has managed to
1) show a 2 headed shark eat some people
2) introduce and outline every needed stereotype (the nerd, the heel jock, the expendable stoner, the sarcastic girl, the virginal good girl, the hunky but inept leader, sassy black woman).
We have antagonist, landscape, and complete cast of archetypes within minutes...rather than hours.
That is efficiency. Are you watching, Christopher Nolan? ARE YOU??????

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
It'll be on again, right?
It'll be on again, right?
I saw the ending with the guy and the chainsaw and his re-emergence form the shark-gina. Inspired. Inspirational.

I demand a defunct belt to commemorate my victory over FSW in the old board's "likes" competition.
I'll take the WWF Women's tag championship if you have it.
I have the waist for it.

July Wrestling Catch-All
in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
Posted
The Wyatt beatdown suffered from not having them dance around and sing and act insane enough. As it was, it just looked like two big guys from anywhere between 1988-2013 doing a slow WWE style beatdown. They could have been Earthquake and Typhoon or The Barbarian and The Sanitation Worker.
It seemed so generic after the videos and Bray's awesome entrance.
They needed more of the ole' TCM/THE WICKER MAN random skipping in circles and chanting things like "'NAM TIME! 'NAM TIME!!!!!" or something. Myabe even a third little dude to jump around and cackle.
Two big wrestlers don't scare me. Two mentally deficient hillbillies who are impervious to pain and reason...you're getting there.
