Hero on commentary when "Detective" Bill Carr does a flip plancha: "HE'S GETTING TOO OLD FOR THIS SHIT!" It will never beat this call but still amazing.

Seeing as Vince sees sneezing as a sign of weakness and some sort of personal failing, I'm afraid to guess how he views the inability to carry a baby to term.

LOL I didn't know that was him. I guess "your creepy pedo uncle" was just a bold acting choice.

Cosigned. Dude comes off like your creepy uncle. Did they pick the actor from a sex offender database? Because that guy is skeevy as fuck.

Everybody is better in PWG (except AJ Styles)

Now that all 24 guys are announced, I can stop worrying about AJ Styles being in the tournament to shit it up like he did last year.

So just to summarize: Will Ospreay Marty Scurll Timothy Thatcher Mike Bailey Chris Hero Biff Busick Mark Andrews Brian Cage Ricochet Tommy End Trevor Lee Pentagon Jr. Drew Gulak Angelico Trent Barreta Andrew Everett Fenix Rich Swann Jack Evans Drago Matt Sydal Aero Star Zack Sabre Jr. Drew Galloway Thought 1: God damn this is mind blowing. Thought 2: Why no Willie Mack? I'd much rather have him than Galloway.

Holy fucking shit edit: also, Drago just announced, also Aero Star

The tears are fucking delicious. "next up,,, pedophiles will be allowed to adopt children thanks to Obama"

Would it break because it's a Lego table, or would it not break because it's Japan?

The "gay bitch" story, which was apparently in Jericho's book until Jericho removed it: I'm just going from memory here but apparently Benoit saw a referee crying backstage. I think someone died or something, and Benoit pointed at him, laughing, and said "what a gay bitch." This, combined with the stories of brutal hazing, etc really paint Benoit as an angry little dude with issues. You see a guy with a tiny frame and he hits the juice to put on 100lbs of muscle, the dude probably has something going on upstairs.

Wow. I just saw that picture. The two times I went to wrestling shows at baseball stadiums, when WWE used to come to Frederick MD during the Summer, they put the ring on the pitcher's mound and absolutely sold floor seats (ground seats?). Here's a pic of one of those shows that I found online: Having the ring as far away from fans as GFW did, with that wide open expanse of nothing, is just bizarre and it had to feel weird for the wrestlers and the fans.

Ziggler taking over as leader of the Bullet Club sounds amazing. Probably because I can't stand Stylish Allen Jones.

Not really. From accounts like the "what a gay bitch!" story and just hearing about how he came up, the guy more than likely had some pretty bad issues before you factor in the concussions. I'm no Sidney M. Basil but he always struck me as a short, angry nutcase. Did the concussions and brain damage push him over the edge? Sure, but he was already partway there IMO.

Exactly. Have a figurehead who only shows up specifically when a figurehead is needed and only then. Authority figures today are just a crutch for lazy and/or talentless writers who can't figure out any other way from A to B.

As I was writing that, I was thinking that my earliest memory of this spot involved Angle. Maybe Angle/Benoit. For me, Angle gets a disproportionate amount of praise considering all the wacky bullshit he brought.

Homage, "unintentional inspiration" (a la Pharrell), lazy designer or straight-up ripoff?

I just saw this lame spot that needs to die last night but it's been around for quite a while. TJ Perkins has Mike Bailey in an ankle lock. Bailey scratches and claws finally manages to touch the bottom rope, but Perkins hangs onto the hold and pulls Bailey back to the middle of the ring. Ref doesn't break the hold. This spot is so dumb and needs to go away. There's never been a rule that says he needs to grab hold of the ropes or touch them for X amount of time. When a guy touches the ropes, the hold is supposed to be broken, period.

Just nitpicking but Cage has been doing the deadlift superplex forever. Cesaro (and Elgin) got the move from him.

You tell em baby!

Is it just me, or does the long-haired, bearded dude to the right of Hunter look like a non-Samoan Roman Reigns? If Reigns push doesn't get him over, maybe they can give that guy a tan and a shirt and try again. Team him with Darren Young as White Reigns and Black Cena.

Bray secretly wanting to fuck Cena, Undertaker, Ryback and Reigns puts all those feuds in perspective.

I can recall at least two women being given the "Single White Female" gimmick over the years (Tori and Mickie James) and I'm positive there was a third and I just can't recall who it was. That's how WWE books women. One can't just be focused on beating another one for a belt. She has to secretly want to fuck/kill/become the other one. Every women's feud has a psychosexual element to it. None of them are athletes competing to win; all women are crazy, jealous harpies who secretly would rather hate-fuck each other instead of competing in a sport. I want to see someone in the men's division booked like that.

Bayley will get called up and her "earnest nice girl" gimmick will be changed to "unhinged girl who is *too nice* and is actually a lunatic deep down like all bitches are amirite guys"

Not even PWG has a guy take a piledriver off the apron through a table and get up a minute and a half later. ROH did the same shit on TV a few weeks ago. Kyle O'Reilly wrestled one of the members of The Addiction, I think. The match STARTED with O'Reilly taking a DDT on the steel entrance ramp but then he came right back and worked a full, competitive match, not even selling any kind of head trauma, wooziness, etc. Holy fuck, there's got to be some middle ground between the tired old Cornette/Ross shit and this kind of no-selling garbage.
