To be fair, Sheen may not have disclosed to WWE that he was HIV positive. Daniel Bryan really did dodge a bullet though.
Were they both going to blade and then rub their foreheads together?
Nah, they would have gone straight to rawdogging

I enjoyed Cesaro's transition from the Sharpshooter to the Crippler Crossface, a move heretofore known as "Canada's Greatest Hits."

I don't remember him saying anything really bad about her but maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention. I do remember one of the wrestlers (Strong, maybe?) giving her a really hard time before a match. What was the reason she only did night 1?
I have no idea who the guy was who announced nights 2 & 3 but he was awesome.

Doing anything with theater people sounds like the 7th circle of hell. Playing D&D with them sounds like something Dante thought of and then rejected as too brutal.

How fucking dumb. Reminds me of grandpa from Texas Chainsaw Massacre weakly hitting Sally with the hammer.

Asuka is probably the best technical wrestler in the entire company. Sasha is a ridiculously good all around talent for her age(23 not 24), but yeah when it comes to technical wrestling Asuka is obviously better than the other women in WWE. Becky is probably the only one who could believably match up with her in that regard.
By "the whole company," you mean NXT, right? Not the entire WWE. Right?
Maybe I've missed the matches, but I don't recall Asuka being in anything on the same level as Sasha's matches with Bayley and Becky.
The smart mark sliding scale (women = +5 points, Japanese = +15) leads to some ridiculous hyperbole.

NFL admits officials screwed the Ravens out of a win
This is really a banner year for shitty officiating. Oh well, I'd rather have a higher draft pick than a meaningless win.

That might not even be champions worst gimmick.
Yeah, when you've worked a Nazi gimmick, "shitty Asian stereotype" isn't so bad.

I thought that Walking Dead preview was hilarious because it showed NOTHING. If idiot fans sat through a show they didn't really wanna watch for 20 minutes just for that, they deserve to suffer.
I know! Thank god the guy who made Mad Men previews found work.

Before I remember that he was dead, I thought that was Stu Hart.

God damn, Burrito. Much like Gonzo, I have no really good advice to give. I just want to wish you well moving forward with whichever way you decide to go with this.

I know they are trying to cut costs but most of the PPV sets are just RAW sets. It sucks. Only WrestleMania looks cool. I liked the Japan show and the MSG show.
Exactly. When Summerslam is billed as "the Wrestlemania of the Summer" and then you tune in and it looks just like Raw, you have a problem.

Nah, that guy's name was Wade. But spot on figuring those are the Saviors. They're absolutely talking about Negan. "He only wants ass that's willing."
Wade's turn at the end seemed to come out of nowhere. I guess he changed his mind after seeing how shitty things were out in the world or something. Maybe he figured he could bargain his way back in with his knowledge of Daryl's people. But that's all a leap and I hate when the viewer has to fill in the gaps for bad writing.
EDIT: talking with a coworker about this, it could be that Wade wasn't going back to Negan; he just wanted to go out on his own with the woman and just wanted to take Daryl's bike and crossbow. Who knows?
So first Aaron loses his backpack, with its pictures, etc, which makes the Wolves aware of Alexandria. Now Daryl flaps his gums to strangers, which will bring the Saviors to Alexandria. I guess they need a new rule: when on a run, don't any kind of identifying information, like photos, and don't talk to anyone.

I enjoy that you have to "become a runner" even in the end zone
A receiver in the endzone now has to apparently catch the ball, come down with both feet inbounds, shake the nearest defender, dance a jig and then jog off to the locker room in order to truly prove possession.

By "Hollywood," they clearly mean the San Fernando Valley

I liked the Seven reveal because of how they pulled the rug out instead of going with an established character. It doesn't come off as flat at all to me. John Doe's logic and how he pulls off everything is like watching someone solve a Rubik's Cube. If there's any complaint I can make about the film its that 1. it's way too dark and 2. it's always raining, which is just unrealistic. Captures a mood, though.
Oh I certainly enjoy the tone and the look of the film. I just don't like it when a film has an ending that the viewer has no clue about.
I had the same issue with Robert Downey Jrs Sherlock Holmes. He reveals this massive grand plan based on hints and clues he has picked up along the way and we as the viewer are left to just think "Yeah, ok I guess." having had no chance to 'solve' the riddle ourselves which, to me at least, is half the fun of these sorts of movies. Putting yourself in the cop's shoes and trying to work out who the bad guy is.
When it turns out to be someone totally unrelated to the first 2/3 of the story it feels a little flat.
I like the John Doe character and his work/methods but I just wish we had a little more of a chance to figure out who he was before the big reveal. I had the same issue with the killer in The Bone Collector
I think you're watching the movie wrong. Seven is not a murder mystery. It's not some whodunnit where the viewer is meant to figure out who the killer is. You're judging the film negatively based on a misconception you brought to it. You might as well be mad that it wasn't a musical comedy while you're at it.

More talk that Jim Irsay may fire Chuck Pagano, hire Nick Saban
Longtime Indianapolis journalist Bob Kravitz said on Mad Dog Sports Radio that Irsay isn’t satisfied with Pagano simply making the playoffs, as he has done every year he’s been the Colts’ coach. Instead, Irsay wants to see the Colts win multiple Super Bowls with Andrew Luck, and Irsay just doesn’t think Pagano is up to that task.“Jim Irsay does not believe that Chuck Pagano is the guy who can take him to where he wants to go,” Kravitz said. “He’s talking about not just one Super Bowl, but multiple Super Bowls in the Andrew Luck era.”
Kravitz believes that Irsay wants Saban, and if Saban demands full control of the Colts’ personnel, Irsay would fire General Manager Ryan Grigson to give Saban the authority he wants.
HERP DERP CHUCKSTRONG HURRRRR
I guess Leukemia only buys you so much goodwill. Once you can't milk the feelgood story anymore, it's time to go.

"Nobody has ever held the IC and World titles at the same time."
I like Owens' gimmick of "dirty heel who says shit that is clearly false but fuck you I'm a heel."
To be fair, it's been 25 years.
Depends, if you count the title unfication match between Triple H and Kane at No Mercy 2002.
Since the IC title was unified with the world title and retired as it's own belt, it probably doesn't count.
I'm counting Ultimate Warrior at Mania 6, since he technically held both for a little while.

Personally I'm waiting for the revelation that Eva is a fucking awesome wrestler who's just been trolling us the whole time.
Also, this.
Can someone please post a link to this interview? The obvious thing would be searching "Owens" on WWE.com but that didn't do it. Thanks!

The best was when I was watching I think maybe the football night preshow Sunday and they threw it to Bob Costas for his sanctimonious commentary on Hardy. He pointed the blame squarely at the NFLPA and then the hosts in the studio had to walk that shit back. Somehow the guys in the studio knew that the NFLPA was obligated to defend him but Costas didn't.

I don't consider that in the same (shitty) league with the Complete Shot. Bray's move at least looks like there's some momentum and force behind it as opposed to "grab the opponent and fall backwards."

It's been awhile since I've seen it, but doesn't the Angle No Way Out 2006 match have to be in the discussion for Taker's best?
Angle/Taker matches were always great because Taker was the best at reigning in Angle's goofy bullshit style.
I just watched that "every tombstone ever" video and now MY knees hurt.
RAW is uncomfortably personal

I highly doubt Ric didn't know.
