I don't tip any of those guys, either, but i do tip on tattoos. Because they're not employees; they're essentially working out of a shop and giving the shop 40 - 60% of what your tattoo costs. If they have no customers that day or someone cancels, they sometimes still have to pay something just to be there. Plus they're paying for all their own supplies. If you tip your hair stylist, you should tip your tattoo guy.

Conspiracy theorists are a sad, pathetic bunch.

Well Glenn was Asian! No, I get your point. In their defense, the show started in rural Georgia so I can see the lack of diversity making sense there. But now they're in Northern Virginia and I don't see a single Asian or Indian and the only Latino actually came from Texas. WTF.

My friends and I had front row for KOTR '94. We bought tickets right at the ticket counter during a January house show, as soon as they went on sale. We were excited about it for months.
Then they reconfigured and put the former Mayor of Baltimore/Governor of MD and some "dignitaries," various cronies and flunkies in front of us, so we were now effectively in the second row. Fuuuuuuuuck.

All the good old school ones have been taken, so I'll go with the team of Excalibur/rotating guest commentator in PWG. I wouldn't enjoy PWG as much without their commentary, which is funny while still calling the match pretty seriously. Excalibur and Steen were awesome and Chuck Taylor has really come into his own lately. Never forget that nobody kicks out of a falcon arrow, his name is Chris Hero and he throws elbows, stiff kicks to the back are fucking unnecessary, and that El Generico is undoubtedly a big boy.

In the comics, in the scene where Fat Jim or whatever his name is brings Lucille to Negan, he asks, "did you eat her pussy like a lady?" Not "did you pet her pussy" or whatever bowdlerized shit they came up with.
American TV: where you can show two people's heads graphically bludgeoned down to Hamburger Helper, but you can't say "eat pussy."
As much as I like Jeffrey Dean Morgan, he's just a bad choice for Negan IMO. I didn't think it was possible to overdo it when portraying a character that's already over the top, but I was wrong. His delivery is stilted and weird and his "lean back lean forward while I talk" thing is annoying. Also, as mentioned here already, he's really skinny. Negan is supposed to be imposing. He couldn't have bulked up a bit for the role? That leather jacket looks like it's falling off him.

The famous SNL synchronized swimming sketch starts with ... "the starrcade theme." (Aka Far from Over by Frank Stallone)
Like the time I heard Lex Luger's theme in Creepshow 2...I'm sure they used a lot of music library licensed stuff to save money.

Also, who is the 3rd guy in the photo with Ford and Arnold.
The third guy is the host version of Ford's father that Arnold built as a gift to Ford.

Too much to talk about and process right now, but here are some random questions:
Was Maeve's decision to go back and find her daughter her own choice or was it just the endgame of her loop?
Did you guys catch the post-credits sequence?
Was the actress who played Armistice wearing a really bad merkin?
Did Papa Abernathy/The Human USB/Johnny Mnemonic get out of the park or was he part of the Island of Misfit Toys Death Squad?
Also, Remus (Steven Ogg/GTA Trevor) just loving the shit out of that massacre was just the best.

How did people feel about MNM wearing the tag belts the way they did?
Thank you! I was reading all those posts about how Reigns wears his belt thinking, "who was it that wore the belts over their cocks?"

You guys tip your tattoo artists? Because you should.

All of this would make sense and would be a cool storyline if any of the belts meant shit. Which they don't.

I can't tell by the gif; does Vince do the carny "dead fish" handshake or is that too "old school rassln?"
I swear I'm watching this gif like Jim Garrison watching the Zapruder Film trying to determine the PSI on that handshake. It looks too limp to be normal but firm enough to not be carny.

This reminds me...Perhaps not a popular opinion, and it's in no way a slight on his classic WWF/E calls, but I find Jim Ross on the AXS New Japan broadcasts to be awful. He's working the Podcast J.R. gimmick.
I was going to post something similar about JR's commentary. He's always "one step forward, two steps back" for me. As in, for every good call, he makes two bad calls, uses unnecessary catchphrases, or hamfistedly ties the action in the ring to something related to a "real sport" like FOOTBAW. He always struck me as a guys who wished he's gotten into football commentary instead of calling bouts between men in their underwear pretending to fight. Whenever he makes up a football background for a wrestler (sorry, Stan Hansen never played for the Colts) or ties wrestling to something non-wrestling, it's obvious he's embarrassed to be here.
12 hours ago, Matt788 said:I know many disagree but I think Steve Corino is killing ROH television. His voice is bad and his take on the events unfolding in the ring are always dumb. He would be a perfect heel manager for the Addiction or some other heels. Get him off commentary and put him ringside where he belongs.
Joe Rogan from UFC always acts like he just had a testosterone injection for the first time in his life and he doesn't know how to handle it. Like today is his first time in his life that he ever had a erection and now he wants to annoyingly explain a fight. UFC could save a lot of money by replacing him with an actual chimp.
You got your wish re: Corino, as he's headed to NXT as a trainer.
Your Rogan take was hilarious. He's the perfect commentator for the lowest common denominator of MMA fans. Call him Bro Rogan, I guess.

If it doesn't talk like KITT, go all Maximum Overdrive and run over some walkers, and then dream of electric sheep, I'm going to have to pass on that one.
Nah. It'll just be a hour long shot of a bike in the woods. Once in a wile a walker or a squirrel will happen by, but that's about it.
Chris Hardwick will gush over it.

Pretty sure that's a shout-out to Bryan Alvarez, who once threw an epic tantrum about TNA which ended with him saying that he wished wrestling was more popular so he'd have more paying subscribers and could then spend the extra money on a gold boat.
Yep. Here it is. Relevant part starts around 15 minutes in but it's all good.

that was Rooster's finish?!
Ah, the old flying hammerlock. Not sure how long Rooster used it. I remember him using the fivearm much more often.

LOL you mean the guy @Pete called out a few posts above for being way over the top on commentary?

Bonus points for dropping a Colossus: The Forbin Project reference

I can't stand Disco or the new Konnan show, for that matter. Disco is essentially Russo Lite as far as his views on wrestling go.

[DEC 2016] WRESTLING PHOTO THREAD
in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
Posted
It's ironic that the still frame for Cesaro's excellent workout routine is a shot of him doing a behind the neck press.
