HOLY FUCK Apron suplex that overshot the target? It definitely looks like Strong slips off the apron. maybe he should have worn the Shitty Little Boots; I hear they have better traction.

Weren't the Wild-Eyed Southern Boys/Young Pistols billed as being from Wyoming? Wikipedia lists one pro wrestling performer from Wyoming and it's pretty LOLsome

We've seen five seasons of the Walking Dead and have learned how you're supposed to conduct yourself in this scenario. So it's hard to feel sympathy when that barge of refugees shows up when you know, per Rick, you should just sink that barge and GTFO.

Dean's lineup of championships and relationships needs a pic of Dirty Mike and The Boys.

yeah, you need to think of TNA less like a wrestling company and more like a hilarious scheme by a rich family to keep their dullest member as far away from their real business as possible.

Does anyone watch Empire? This second-half season has been hot garbage so far.

I think there's more to it than that. Sting was an above average wrestler who was great against great opponents (Flair and Vader stand out) and just kind of there against guys not at that level. He drew horribly as world champ, so much so that they had to take the belt off him early. Is that all his fault? No, the booking was shit, too. Arguably, he was a big part of WCW's boom period but I'd say the NWO was the real draw. Really, it comes down to asking why Sting should be in and I have no answer for that. A lot of people just argue that it's a "Hall of fame" and that, well, he is a really famous wrestler so he should be in.

So you're saying it's going to come out that Killshot lied about/exaggerated the whole story? Spoiler that shit bro.

Seriously. "If wrestler x is so good, why couldn't he drag a shitty company to national prominence?" is ridiculous. TNA was #2 by default, not because they were a strong company in contention with WWE.

I prefer "The Famous Four plus One Beneficiary of Nepotism and the Booker's Markishness" but that doesn't roll off the tongue quite as well, I admit.

Looks like he got bukkake'd by a giant

That's awesome. How's the beer?

I knew a guy where it was the other way around. His girlfriend (now wife) was a lesbian when they met. I always joked about his magic dick. I don't think he appreciated it but I didn't really care.

Nakamura looks like he's trying to hold back a particularly nasty shart.

I'm of the opinion the NWO wouldn't have been nearly as big or mainstream if Hogan hadn't been there. But at the end of the day, it bankrupted the company, so was it worth it? I always laugh when Hogan or Bischoff call attention to the fact that Sting didn't show up in shape that night as if that was some sort of contributing factor to how flat and awful the whole thing was. Like they would have changed their shit booking if Sting showed up looking like Luger.

Tope suicida TO THE DICK

We can hope but the problem is the company will still be run by people who don't watch sports or popular TV. HHH & Steph are just as far in the old time wrestling bubble as Vince is. Maybe their kids will be able to expand their interests a bit.

God damn. Sorry, man.

That's awesome. Like BB season 2's titles contained "737 Down Over ABQ."

Exactly. One of the big ideas behind this show is, "let's show how the zombie apocalypse starts and how society breaks down." Thing is, nobody ever asked for that and we don't need that. There's a reason zombie movies (and even the original Waling Dead) skip past that or pay quick lip service to it and move on. As an audience, we're already educated to what zombies are and what they do. Showing us a world where they've never heard of zombies and have to figure this shit out, S-L-O-W-L-Y, is just frustrating to watch. "Tales from The Walking Dead" would have been amazing. That's a great idea. Cliff Curtis is the most amusing part of this show for me. I'm looking at him saying, "is he supposed to be Latino? Because he looks Indian." The I look him up on IMDB and he's actually Maori. Hollywood: yeah, just call all the brown people we can find and we'll figure it out.

Seriously?!? LOL holy shit. "I want you to buy controlling interest but not really, you know, have control." Now I'm thinking about the time a while back where it looked like she would have been able to hire Heyman to run the whole show, but decided not to because Paul wanted complete control, including over hires and fires. That would have turned the company around, but nope. Some people just will not accept a life preserver no matter what.

Wow, what an episode. First, you think it's so heartbreaking that Kim is defending Jimmy and being played for a fool, then there's the total reversal in that she absolutely knew Chuck was right. That's some great shit right there. I read a feature story on Vince Gilligan a while back and one point he made was how his Southern Catholic upbringing and the ideas of "biblical atonement" and "justice" inform his storytelling. Nobody "breaks bad" and gets away without damage to their soul. And it doesn't just hurt the wrongdoer; there's collateral damage as well. We see it twice in this episode alone. Jimmy pulls off a con job to get Mesa Verde back and Chuck ends up paying the price for it (so Jimmy does, too). Mike robs the Salamancas in an attempt to get back at them and an innocent bystander dies in the process. Look at Mike's face at the end and you can see it sinking in. The overarching theme of both Breaking Bad and BCS is that you can't stray from good without doing irreparable damage and losing part of yourself. You'll live the high life for a while, but you'll eventually end up in a Cinnebon in Omaha.

I was at that show (Starrcade) and I remember leaving the arena and everybody just felt deflated. Like you said, anything outside of Sting getting absolute revenge and decisively destroying Hogan would have been an failure and, because of power plays and political bullshit, that's what we got. WCW everybody.

God damn @ both of these. Best of luck to both of you and yours.

Remember when TNA was close to being sold and the sticking point that sunk the deal was that Dixie still needed to be a figurehead on TV and IRL, and the new owners wouldn't be allowed to mention that she wasn't running things? Now they're probably going to sell the company for far less with no strings at all. Sometimes clowns like the Carters do get what's coming to them.
