  1. Alternatively, they could debut him with Zeb as an Oregon militia member. I'm just saying. It's well within his dramatic range. LOL My thoughts exactly. I was wondering if we weren't all just mixed up and AJ wasn't actually leaving for WWE but rather leaving to join his brothers in fighting tyranny.
  2. As to the question of "why did Crockett run big stadiums that they had no shot at selling out?" remember that these guys were pretty fucking crazy as far as overspending and acting way too big for their means went. This was just before Crockett bought out Watts for no real benefit (and paid too much in the bargain), moved their offices to a much more expensive location in Dallas just for appearance purposes, and took private jets everywhere. Crockett was ballin' out of control before ballin' out of control was cool.
  3. I hear he stinks up the joint for the first few songs of his set to build sympathy, then comes back strong for the encore.
  4. Wait, isn't Styles having pretty bad back issues (herniated disk) right now? I'm fairly negative on this whole move right now but it's more a matter of personal taste.
  5. It's pretty funny to think about how, early in the season, Skins tickets could be had on Sunday mornings on Stubhub for $11.
  6. http://mlwradio.libsyn.com/ I get the download links under the Libsyn player for the non-premium episodes Unrelated, but noteworthy, Cheeseburger of ROH fame is going to be on Talk is Jericho Friday. Awesome, man. Thanks!
  7. TL;DR Lacks the nuance of Babbysack
  8. I like Gable but I feel like he's overhyped by Meltzer and Observer HOF voter types who are aching for someone "legit" to cheer for. Same types who voted Angle in well before he should have been.
  9. There was an infamous moment where he bitched out Eddie Guerrero for using a camel clutch, not realizing that Eddie's father created the hold. I heard that story and it's kind of dumb. Who cares who created the move? The point is that Eddie was using Hassan's finish. Yes, everybody loves Eddie and the rookie should have handled things better with a veteran, but he did have a point. Seriously, how did that conversation go? Hassan: Hey Eddie, you used the camel clutch in your match and I'm on later. That's my finish. Eddie: Fuck you man my dad created that move! One thing has nothing to do with the other.
  10. Regarding the MLW shows: is there still a way to download them from the site or is it now streaming-only? I don't see any "right-click, save as" type links, just Libsyn players.
  11. I just noticed the Season 4 premiere date for Banshee was move from late January to April 1. Damn.
  12. Exactly. That was a cool gimmick at first. "We were born here, we're not terrorists, but we've been treated like shit since 9/11" was awesome and doomed to failure. It lasted, what, three weeks?
  13. Did you see the PWG show where they had the announcer call them multiple team names aside from the ICMG? D-Generation (Malcolm) X The (Martin Luther) Kings of Wrestling Of course they were wrestling AR Fox and ACH. The African American Wolves. PWG makeshift tag names are the best.
  14. That would make them faces again. That's what happened when they were booked as anti-immigration peckerwoods and booking them as pro-Trump would be similar. Wrestling fans don't do nuance.
  15. Same here, man. I kicked off the game install and received a notice that a 8+ GB update was required, so that would probably be every single update since the initial release, online and off.
  16. Sting, Austin and DDP have Hair made from Rice Krispy Treats.
  17. The US Championship WAS the TV Championship all year when Cena had the belt. It's also clearly on the higher tier than the IC title, but also a clear secondary title. Changing the names doesn't do anything to change the booking. WWE needs to pick a belt and have it be THE clear secondary title. There needs to be an 1980s- mid 90s IC Title equivalent, something that sends the signal of "if this guy has it, he's on the cusp of being the real deal." There isn't anything like that now. I was actually thinking about that this morning and it's kind of a fallacy to believe the IC belt used to be a signifier that a guy was on the cusp of being a "tippy top guy." For every Ultimate Warrior or Randy Savage, you've got a bunch of HTMs, Santanas, Muracos, Mounties, etc., guys who were career midcarders and not really seen as serious threats to the WWF title. Well of course Vince is going to value his company title over the big gold belt which, let's be honest, had lost all meaning and value by then anyway. Also, the naming of the old WWF title as "WWF Championship" with no "world" in it was a concession to the NWA. Vince Sr. parted amicably with the NWA but agreed to not promote his champion as "the world champion."
  18. I'm out of likes but motherfucker do I hate that song.
  19. Yeah, count me in with the "on the other hand" group. The prior match (Ospreay/Bailey) was really short and then this match went forever and never seemed to get out of the blocks past "we're two guys goofing off doing really light English exhibition style wrestling." It picked up in the final few minutes but, until then, it just felt aimless and tedious. It was more like the kind of time-filler comedy match you'd see before the finals than an actual semifinal bout. I was about to make a joke about how I was shocked nobody got a thumb in the butt -- then I remembered Scurll chasing Sabre and Knox with ballsweat and, later, outright grabbing Sabre's dick. I'm all for goofy matches. One of my earliest PWG experiences was BOLA 2010 where Paul London showed up in a spaceman suit, only to reveal a singlet with a water bottle stuffed down his crotch. But that was night one, round one. When you're in the match to determine who goes to the finals, I sort of expect a little bit more intensity and less "watch us do interpretive dance and effortlessly float in and out of holds."
  20. White Marsh? Be careful where you park. Last time I was there, somebody hit my parked car and drove merrily away. Well, I think some people just want to see a movie and enjoy it once and that's it, and don't care to be hardcore cineastes about it. Different strokes, etc.
  21. Just to ruin the song for everyone since it was ruined for me...ever since it was mentioned on one of Alvarez's shows, I can't hear Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" without hearing the line as "later we'll have some fuckin' pie and we'll do some caroling."
  22. Sorry to hear about that bullshit, Tabe. I just had a daughter earlier this year and pray that I don't become one of those asswipe parents who plays the "I have kids/you don't have kids" card every chance I get.
  23. Apparently, Hateful 8 and Revenant screeners have leaked. I post this for informational and entertainment purposes only and do not in any way condone seeking these out.
