UGH. Good luck, man.

Yes nobody in WWE has ever been booked negatively as punishment you're exactly right this is just like Mad Men

This is stupid. As is the opinion that one person having sex with another person in the past makes that person a whore. It was a planned segment that obviously Lana and Rusev bought off on. Are you just being contrarian to win some Internet Points? This wasn't Rock reminiscing about some lovely time they had together. Pro tip: whenever a pro wrestling storyline involves a woman fucking a dude, she's made out to be a slut, and this was no different. Your second point is utterly ridiculous, also. "Do this segment or get further in the doghouse" isn't really a choice. Edit: I just read about how this segment was punishment for Lana yelling at Rusev in an airport. Wow, this fucking company. Hopefully they'll straighten this out by have Steve Austin offer a Performance Center seminar on keeping your woman in line.

Less talk about Dolph Ziggler's place and more talk about how WWE was apparently angry about a woman's backstage behavior so their solution was to have a huge star call her a whore on television.

Oh man don't remind me. That team was Brian Billick football at its finest. Play hard until you get to the 30, then "Oh shit, we've got a guaranteed field goal, don't jeopardize it going for a touchdown!" It was great winning a Super Bowl, unbearable the other 8 or so seasons.

Exactly. Here's the rule: did the QB obviously throw the ball away to avoid a loss? Then he intentionally grounded the ball. The rule is right there in the fucking name. A sack is one of the most exciting plays in the game and to have a QB take that away from you by throwing it at the ground is the worst.

TNA's graphic designer (who am I kidding? TNA's mark fan who does free Photoshop work for them) discovered dafont.com for the first time recently. We've all been there. Is there some Papyrus in there?

I was watching some Mid-South and there's a match with Brett Sawyer & some guy vs the SUPER GREEN Blade Runners where the announcer casually refers to Hellwig being on steroids. God damn 1986 was a different time. There's also a match between Koko and Rick Steiner. It's really early in Steiner's career and he's wrestling in plain trunks and boots and using his real name. I had no idea he did that.

He's been borderline on a couple before that too. . . . The league really should do something about the intentional grounding rule, but I'm sure they won't. The rule is seriously broken when it allows for Brady to be in the grasp of two defensive players and about one foot from the ground, and then shovel pass it into the dirt 10 feet from a receiver who is not even looking.

Grocery store wasn't horrible, just a little more crowded than usual. Toilet paper aisle was half empty, bread aisle was ransacked but doable, and the meat section was maybe 3/4 empty. Who decides to buy up all the meat when it's going to snow? Shouldn't you be buying canned foods, etc instead of steaks? WTF people? I did manage to buy the last green pepper in the store, which is hilarious to me. The liquor store was fine. The line was maybe 3 people deep.

What's the story here?

Wait what does Ricochet have to do with Lucha Underground?

Vince said it in an interview somewhere once. I remember reading it but can't remember where. As Nice Guy Eddie said, it was something to the effect of, "people in the entertainment industry keep asking me 'when are you going to get rid of that ring?'" We are to infer that Vince has Hollywood friends who think so highly of his creative genius that they believe he should just be creating a weekly variety show instead of wrestling. I'm sure the story is made up and fueled by Vince's insecurities over never being anything more than a rasslin' promoter.

As far as I can remember, "suplexes, holds, etc and not too much punching" = technical wrestling in the mid/late 80s. Consider what Flair did vs what Luger or Brody did.

I'm dreading tonight's grocery store trip but at least I'm buying liquor as well, so there's a (booze-soaked) silver lining.

75% of any Attitude Era Raw episode was utter shit. Nostalgia is remembrance without the pain.

THIS. The Attitude Era wasn't great because of booking/storylines. It was in spite of them. Austin, Rock, Foley, Undertaker, etc elevated shitty material to something decent. People who clamor for a return to this don't seem to get that Raw won't magically be good again if we just throw in some tits and violence.

I feel like every time a MMA thing wins a wrestling category, it's just contrarians who want to back up Dave's cute little "UFC is doing wrestling better than wrestling companies are" argument. Like I'm supposed to believe two meathead bros throwing insults at each other to build one fight, only to hug after the fight, is better than any wrestling program from any company in the world all year long. Get the fuck out of here with that shit.

They're going ass to ass but no-selling it by looking as uninterested as possible

When he goes all over the top indignant in Concussion and yells "TELL DE TROOT!" you can just hear his internal monologue: nailed it, Fresh Prince! Oscar, you're coming home to Bel Air.

That fucking article. HURRRRRRR there's a line in an overrated cult movie about how bad the Eagles are so my point is proven! Oh fuck you man. Most of us get past the "hate things that other people like just to be contrarian" phase somewhere in our teens, maybe early 20s. The rest become music critics.

Belichik probably floated that story so it would be in the news and would force Hochuli to overcompensate and call more in the Pats' favor. DOUBLE REVERSE CONSPIRACY INCEPTION.

Joe and Gargano needed to get together before the match to discuss their gear. Both guys wearing yellow and black made them look like they were partners. Also, they matched the ring, so it was just weird looking. And why is a guy from Cleveland wearing black and yellow anyway?

I doubt the big 4 will ever fully buy in to shorter seasons except for "special event" series, though I think Empire on Fox had shorter seasons but that's an outlier. For the most part, viewers go to cable for "prestige" dramas and NBC, CBS etc for "same old shit" shows that are comfortable and easy to watch -- another go 'round of CSI or L&O, for instance. So the broadcast networks go for quantity over quality. CBS is McDonald's to AMC's Five Guys or BGR or whatever. You get my point.

Possible, but maybe not. Apparently, Vince has cooled on Strowman. This shit is ridiculous. Vince got boner over the dude because he's big and tall, called him up pretty much before he could learn anything, and is now frustrated that the guy is nothing special. The old man is a fucking loon.
