    I'm kinda wondering how CMT can afford Nashville.  I doubt individual salaries are huge aside from Panettiere and Britton, but it's a large cast so it's probably an expensive show regardless.

    I'm hoping the first episode of the next season starts with the title card, "The James family died on the way back to their home planet."  Rayna and her whole family are the worst characters on the show and their story arcs last season were useless at best and shit at worst.

    This fight was lost after Sandy Hook.  A classroom of children reduced to pulp and all we had was thoughts and prayers.

    Enough people here value the right to own a weapon of mass destruction over the right for a child to sit in school and not be massacred. The choice has been made.

     

    Exactly.  At least right-wing poster boy "Joe the Plumber" had the balls to say exactly what these awful people are all thinking when, after Sandy Hook, he said "your dead kids don't trump my constitutional rights."   Sorry, my Republican friends, but when you count guys like this among your brethren, maybe you should rethink where you stand in the overall scheme of things.

    The battle for any kind of sensible gun control has long past been lost.  Now we just get to sit back and count how many innocent lives get the honor of paying for your freedom. 

    This would be funny if it weren't so fucking sad, every single time.

    I am actually kind of shocked WWE hasn't jumped on the "memorable moments" collectors statuettes already. Seems like a natural product you could do a limited run and make some decent bank out of those able to spend for something a little higher end.

     

    Put both of these together and now I can't stop imagining a resin diorama of that special moment, complete with Vince's wide-eyed shock and Pat's look of amazement and longing.

    WWE can't even get McGregor or Rousey to appear again, much less Mark Hunt. This isn't a trade-off, WWE won't get anything in return from UFC for letting Brock Lesnar fight at 200. C'mon guys. Lesnar knew he had the leverage before WrestleMania 31, and he held them over a barrel and fucked them (and rightfully so).

     

    Maybe they can get Mark Hunt's brother, Mike.

    Bix was the person I saw bring up the NY State Commission thing. Don't know if that is who SKOS saw or someone else throwing it out there

     

    WWE can get an athletic commission to do whatever it wants.  The Maryland State Athletic Commission outlawed blood, yet WWE has had bloody matches in Maryland in the past.  I'm sure they'd have no problem getting around this.

    If you want to talk Goldberg's qualifications for entry into a more "real" HOF, I'd say no way.  Seriously, the guy was a hot act in a hot company for only a little over a year.  Just because he was pushed hard and booked pretty well for 15 months doesn't mean he had a HOF-worthy career.  And he didn't mean shit once the streak was over.  That alone, to me, is a testament to how "smoke and mirrors" this guy was.  He's Ahmed Johnson with better booking.

    To me, Sting is a more deserving candidate and I've always found Sting to be overrated with regard to HOF discussions.

    Edit, now I feel like a JDW/Crimson Mask level toolbag because I'm looking at Gordy List questions.  But suffice to say Goldberg isn't even close.

    Showtime has announced the dates for the new seasons of some of its shows

    Masters of Sex - 9/11

    Shameless - 10/2

    The Affair - 11/20

    Homeland - January 2017

    Thanks for the update!  Weird that they delayed Masters of Sex, since it usually follows the same schedule as Ray Donovan which starts June 26.

    Are we seriously arguing a wrestler's merits w/r/t whether they should be in the WWE's hall of fame?  Come on, guys.  The only criteria are if some people know you, you're on Vince's good side today, and they need bodies to fill out the list after they've picked the headliners. 

    Also, remember that Goldberg ended Bret Hart's career and injured himself bare-handedly punching out a window because "Goldberg wouldn't use a lead pipe."  He was a rare combination of being dangerous to everyone and a giant mark for himself.  I don't know if that rules him out or makes him a perfect fit but the man strikes me as a big dumb douchebag.
