That's how I felt watching it recently. You sit there and it's like "what the fuck did he just say? Seriously?" For my money the black/white buddy cop thing is done way better in Die Hard With A Vengeance, and they take race on properly.
Full disclosure, I cannot have a TV playing and pass by Die Hard With A Vengeance and not stop to watch the whole thing.
Die Hard with a Vengeance is awesome and doesn't get nearly enough love. Also, Ludvig Borga is in it for about 15 seconds.

What a weird time in wrestling. Nash, Big Show, Guerrero, Benoit & X-Pac vs Booker, Goldust, RVD, Spike Dudley & Bubba Ray.
Why was the NWO teaming with Guerrero & Benoit?
-
Run a quick angle where referee Drake Wuertz is sick of Owens' rulebreaking ways and demands a fight.

More Katrina on my TV is always welcomed.

The name of the show is now NXT Takeover: Card Subject to Change

Looks like Sam Houston vs a jobber, maybe Dale (Dusty) Wolfe?
It seems the super loose ropes were the problem. Houston didn't weigh but a buck oh five and the ropes almost hit the mat when he jumps on them.

More likely someone who didn't like JTG stooged him off to Cena. I wonder if this conflict ended the whole "CTC" angle. Or maybe not, as I seem to recall hearing that it ended because of Cena not wanting to delute his character and/or give away his heat by being part of a team.
I know about Reks, but there was somebody else. It'll come to me.
Still not as good as the Biff Busick/Chris Jericho stall story.

On a whim, I watched 48 Hours (1982) over the weekend. Damn, it was not as good as I remember, but give me a break; I haven't seen it since I was probably 10 years old. It was actually quite boring and unfunny. And holy shit, the casual racism of Nick Nolte's character, who was supposed to be the protagonist and the guy you're rooting for, is fucking insane looking at it in 2015. It sure was a different time, man. At one point, in the span of maybe a minute, he refers to Eddie Murphy's character as a "charcoal-colored loser" and then straight up calls him a "spear chucker." Did we think that was funny back then or just accept that that's how people talked? Was this supposed to be some Archie Bunker, lovable bigot shit? God damn, it's mind blowing. Yeah, there is some turnabout as Eddie schools an entire redneck bar, but it makes no sense why the same character didn't shut down Nolte's bullshit sooner.
On the plus side, we got some good bit part, "hey it's that guy!" players in there. A Warriors reunion of James Remar and David Patrick Kelly in key roles (of course, since Walter Hill directed both), as well as Brion James (Leon from Blade Runner), Sonny Landham ("Indian Dude" from Predator), and a very young Jonathan Banks (Mike from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul). And Annette O'Toole in all her 80s hotness.
Still, recommendation to avoid except for historical curiosity. Show it to your kids when they start wondering about how fucked up things were back in the day.

In reference to JTG and Cena hahaha that reads like the start of some amaaaazing slash fic. There is no possible way that story is true.
I read it the same way. Glad it ended before the angry yet undenaibly passionate lovemaking.
"This can't go unpunished," Cena breathed angrily in my ear, never breaking eye contact and barely able to contain his rage. I then heard his jorts fall to the cold tile of the bathroom floor, the sound echoing across the empty expanse. I knew it was time for an "Attitude Adjustment" and I was powrless to resist.
I'm drawing a total blank here and it's driving me crazy. Somebody made a podcast appearance recently and discussed a Cena confrontation, maybe related to a guy using a move similar to the FU or STF?

Exactly. As awesome as Zayn is, and I've been a fan for a long time, I think he'll be a niche product in WWE.
"Unmasked El Generico becomes the face of WWE after John Cena is done" is the most unprobable wrestling story I've heard.

It's not the years, it's the mileage.

Vince is blind, didn't you hear? Just tell him Sami is 6'4" and roided the fuck up. "Well god damn, now I can understand why that pop was so loud!"

The perils of saving strange image files, and then spending some time cleaning out an old external hard rive.
I hate to admit that I spent way too much time trying to find this online last week. This clipping is just insane. Small Gorilla and 7 Colored Boys. Because 8 colored boys would have been unsporting.
Also, "Small Gorilla and 7 Colored Boys" goes on my shortlist of band names, up there with Nice Guy Todd and The Nazis.

I hope they book an invasion angle in a few months where an evil faction shows up with their own database. Like a bunch of bad dudes roll a server rack to the ring with the name of their group spraypainted on it. That would be badass.

despite black people's superior common sense when it comes to monsters.

No idea whwere he's going with it, maybe just a random goofy thing, but I like Ciampa's mask
It's certainly a cooler look than when he bleached his beard, which just made him look like Groege Carlin

Turns out the whole thing is an e-fed run on TNM
-
Oh Sandman you loveable scamp you
-
Hopefully Vince can do one more angle with Cena. Cena will do the "you can't see me" thing and Vince will get self conscious and pissed off and then fire Cena right there.

People using "SJW" as some sort of derogatory term for those who stand up for what's right can eat a dick.
There's a difference between people who stand up for what's right and people who engage in self-congratulatory indignation and bigotry witchhunts. Look at the people misconstruing odessastep's quote as if it was pro-domestic violence as an example of the latter.
Well sure, but who gets to be the arbiter of which person is one and which is the other? It's such a strawman. You're assuming a lot about someone you don't know, saying, "I think you're a SJW because I doubt you really feel that way!" You're attributing disingenuous motivation to people because you disagree with them. It's unfair and demonizes someone for having an opinion contrary to yours.
Let's look at the opposite. When I hear someone decry "PC," all I can think of is "this is a person who really just wants to be able to say "nigger" in conversation. But that would be assuming a lot. Same as when you call someone a "SJW."

I wonder how the Undertaker's story about riding in the desert turns out if he's with the Fabulous Ones instead of Big Show.
Probably more drinking, fucking and fighting. In what order, we can't be sure.

I have a Wyatt family t-shirt on, but I am wearing a buttoned shirt over it.
Well, now you've just ruined your shocking heel turn. Thanks.
I gave an employee a write-up, today. Now I wish I'd told him "Run" as I was bringing him into the office.
I'm trying to figure out how to offer the guys who work for me a "unique opportunity" (with air quotes and Spanish accent) at review time.

Until now, The Wachowskis have been M. Night Shyamalan, except Hollywood wised up faster to Shyamalan with regard to giving him huge budgets thinking he'll strike gold again.
I guess they finally got enough rope to hang themselves with with Jupiter Ascending and now they're stuck making TV for a streaming service. Sounds about right. Everything finds its equilibrium and the universe corrects itself eventually.
