If you book Hogan/Piper in a cage then I gotta book Piper to go over but then set-up Hogan regaining the belt on SNME in October so you can build to Hogan/Andre for Mania 3.

That. Plus the ideas that 1) 1980s WWF would hotshot like that, 2) put the belt on a heel and 3) Hogan would job are all absurd.

This almost calls back to that long discussion we had on here years ago about how Cena was a master at working for the cheap seats. I think that at the time I really underappreciated how much Cena exaggerated his movements and basically put on a show for everyone in the arena.
Owens is the modern master of this. Everything he does is exaggerated and awesome.

God, Russo is fucking annoying (also, the sky is blue). I never watch or listen to the stuff he's put out or been in, but had nothing to do and listened to this thing. Couldn't finish it.
Russo and Teddy Hart are on that list for me.

Still trying to be The Nature Boy at 68. Somebody needs to strap him down, Clockwork Orange style, and have him watch Chris Rock's "nobody wants to be the old guy at the club" bit until he gets it.

One thing that bothers me is something that looks like hypocrisy from Dave. On one hand, he defends Mauro celebrating his Observer award win (which JBL was pissed about). On the other hand, Dave shit on AJ Lee for getting a tattoo to celebrate her first major title.
Both are "markish" displays of enthusiasm over questionable indicators of industry success.

My friend, I hope to God that you are wrong, but I have an awful feeling he's going to get "fired" and be right back in about six months.
I was going to say the same thing in my initial post. He'll be gone for a while, then brought back when the heat dies off.
I'm glad I'm no longer giving a dollar or .000001 ratings point to this shitstain of a company.

Ric Flair's deal reminds me of a line I heard from an Amy Winehouse doc I saw on a music channel a few years back.
"Well, we knew it wasn't going to end well. But she didn't want help. And, eh, we couldn't lock her up or stop her."
Let's be honest: If anything happens, we'll be sad, yes. But we won't be surprised.
They want me to go to rehab and I say WOO WOO WOOOOOO

You have Justin Roberts passport story, which has been independently verified by Johnny Mundo, which is JBL inciting a felony.
At first I was like, "cool, maybe he can actually be arrested!" Then I came to my senses.
Whether he's fired, prosecuted, or hogtied, JBL will be fine and will land on his feet without too much personal damage. There are two sets of laws in this country. One for rich white guys and one for everybody else.

I drink more coffee than most would think humanly possible and an $8.00 lb. of Sumatran lasts all week.
(Drinking coffee as I read this and nodding knowingly)
People are amazed that I can drink coffee or energy drinks at night and still sleep. I think I have a problem.

Got an e-mail at work today stating that the $150 Bluetooth-enabled coffee cup that Starbucks sells is not allowed in our workplace due to the fact that it's a secure building. (We can't even bring our cell phones in here.)
I want to know who these assholes are that can afford to spend $150 on a coffee cup.
The same assholes who can afford $7 per day on coffee.

They backed off the Angel Of Death plan. I would guess because they knew him and Sting could not have a PPV quality main event. Which seems off now but in 1990, more was expected of the NWA Champion. The Sid/Sting match being the outlier.
They probably backed off the Angel of Death plan because nobody knew who AoD was or gave a shit about him. Scorpion revealing himself to be some unknown bald dude with a molester mustache would have gone over like a fart in church.

ROH is actually a real life example of the type of indy that doesn't understand what it is. ROH has been pretty much the biggest indy in the world for over a decade, but lately they've been trying to sign their talent to exclusive long term deals that is actually destructive to their promotion and their talent.
1 hour ago, Oyaji said:Did the ROH exclusive contracts come as a result of TNA doing that shit first? I seem to remember there being some causation there.
Someone made a great point here last week, so I'll just steal it because it's relevant to this discussion:
TNA is the new Global Force Wrestling
ROH is the new TNA
PWG is the new ROH
@supremebve is exactly right. ROH thinks it can compete with WWE and it just can't Every other point is correct, too.
PWG understands its place as a super indy who gets by on DVD sales and won't get in the way when WWE comes calling, just like ROH used to be.
Anyone who says "ROH could be huge is Sinclair put their power behind it" might as well be saying "the sky would be fucking awesome if it were lime green." Because neither is going to happen. Sinclair is cheap as fuck and will never put more money than they have to behind ROH. How many years of losses did Turner endure just to have that brief time WCW was profitable? Sinclair's not doing that.

Am I the only one who thinks that doesn't look at all like Kim?
No, i thought the same thing. But I haven't seen her in years. Maybe she had some work done or the lighting in the pic is bad?
EDIT: checking her Instagram, she definitely got a new face. God damn.

I'm kinda amazed LeRae hasn't been signed yet. Has she even gotten a try out? I don't remember hearing of any.
Meltzer mentioned a little while back that WWE has made it known that they won't give a look to women who do hardcore matches or wrestle men. As always, that could change and probably will.
I went back and added the word "matches" after "hardcore" because that sentence would have had a totally different meaning if I hadn't.

Brudda, as an oldster I must point out that your choice of Mr, McMahon's food took me out of your narrative. Wraps were more of a 90s thing (but I have never had an office job so what do I know). "Lean Cuisine and a Red Bull", perhaps? "Blackened Cajun-style chicken breast and a white zinfandel"? Pan-fried cocaine w/a cocaine breading and a bechamel cocaine sauce"?

Those are all good food choices, but "steak wrap" is a true story. From former WWE writer Dan Madigan:
Quote"I think they were going to poison Big Show and give him a spiked burrito. The whole concept was: 'We're going to spike his food, spike the burrito, you cut to a vignette before that showing him eating it, and then he passes out in the ring.' So, Vince goes, 'Burrito?! Who the hell knows what a burrito is?' It was such a foreign concept. And everyone in the room goes, 'Well, we know what a burrito is.' And Vince goes, 'Well, where the hell have I been?'
"But, the funny thing is, every day at noon, Vince's secretary would walk into the office - the writing room - with a burrito. It was a steak-wrap cut in half. And he would put ketchup on it. Every day, he was eating a burrito and not knowing what it was. But, that's the idea - when you're in a bubble and in a business where you're ostracized from society, it's you and them, that's it. Everyone else is an outsider, so things like that do make sense in the confines of the wrestling world."

It's amazing that the Paige situation caused them to replace all the belts, just in case.

Guys who were better in TNA than WWE: Monty Brown is the absolute poster boy here
Gotch: can't have a guy working an "old timey" gimmick when half the UK roster looks like extras from Gangs of New York

"Vince, Ron Simmons is coming in. Let's play off his college football achievements and make him a serious contender."
"That sounds good, pal, but first let me consult our other committee member, cocaine."
SNOOOOOOOOOORT
GOD DAMMIT PAL HE'S A MODERN DAY GLADIATOR. GIVE HIM A BLACK MILITANT NAME, A FOAM HELMET THAT MAKES HIM LOOK LIKE AN EGG AND A PRETTY WHITE GIRL SO WE CAN COVER THE RACE BAITING ANGLE. IT'S MONEY! WHERE'S MY STEAK WRAP GOD DAMMIT?

I can totally see Vince yammed up out of his mind, dried bits of coke under his nostrils, looking like a madman holding a drawing of the Faarooq Asad costume triumphantly over his head, thinking he came up with the greatest gimmick ever.
Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know.
I'm pretty sure cocaine literally held a seat on the booking committee in the 80s.

MMMMM-Good!!! The Food Thread Returns
in LAND OF CONFUSION
Posted
Does anybody here grill? I'm out on the deck, beer in hand, grillling every over 50 degrees, non rainy weekend. I've been in an uncreative grilling funk lately -- being busy as fuck at work and having a toddler will do that -- and have mostly just been doing wings with a variety of store bought sauces. Sometimes salmon on a cedar plank with some potatoes or asparagus. I'd love some suggestions. Anything that doesn't take 4 hours of prep. Or if you're new to charcoal grilling or want to start (no propane, come on dudes), feel free to ask questions.
