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.

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!"

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.

"Yeah, I'm a man and shit...I tried to change the channels, shit didn't work, I got the fuck out."

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.

Jesus fuck that's horrible.

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."

Probably more drinking, fucking and fighting. In what order, we can't be sure.

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.

That video is gold. "There we have a table for massages. We never use it."

The only time Vince ever saw Baywatch, or any other show, was when he caught maybe a minute of it here and there between sets of benches and curls while it was on the TV at the gym. The guy is a workaholic and I doubt he ever sits down to watch television. He has psychological issues to the point where he won't even let himself sneeze; I can't even fathom the self loathing that would stem from wasting an hour to watch TV.

This deserves more than just a like.

I wonder if he requested they make the script more Will Smithy for him. Over/under on the number of "aw hell naws" in this one?

I know "Son of Havoc" is just a play on Sons of Anarchy but, since it's Lucha, I keep wondering about the legendary luchador named Havoc.

Albert came so close to saving two lives that day. Watching that gif without a shred of sympathy.

Speaking of looking dumb in a mask, I'm not a fan of Son of Havoc's look at all. Matt Cross is not a big enough star to the point where he had to wear a hood or else everybody would know him, especially since he didn't have the massive beard during his one time of major exposure, Tough Enough. Motherfucker looks like Charlie Brown from Outta Town in that hood. And that voice alteration thing is god awful. Actually, the whole gimmick is just bad. How many bikers have six pack abs, no tattoos and are gymnasts? They should have run with a Crossfitting lumbersexual hipster gimmick for him. EDIT: Holy shit. I just looked him up on image search and he's actually rocking the Hitler Youth hipster undercut. They really missed the boat on a very contemporary gimmick.

You're thinking of Rich Swann. Shane Strickland (Killshot) is from Tacoma and looks like Dumb Donald from Fat Albert in that mask.

Oh, did she have that horrible duck bill lipjob reversed during her time off between tapings?
