    It was in Barcelona, so I'm assuming that had something to do with it. It's weird, the crowd doesn't seem that invested, but when Tito pins Taker the place comes unglued.

    High School U.S.A. Soggy Bottom U.S.A. What was it about the 70s/80s audiences that they needed to be reassured the movies took place in America? The Cold War? The elderly's concerns about the creeping revenge of the Kaiser through infiltrating popular entertainment?

    I don't know where this really belongs, but I just came across this and have some vague recollection of it. Captain Lou during his Super Mario stint doing an anti-drug commercial. It's pretty standard stuff until the very end when things...take a turn.

    There's also only two Terminators and three Indy movies. Any films that suggest otherwise belong on the planet Zeist.

    They finally have something of value that puts them in a negotiable position with WWE and they can't afford to actually negotiate because they need quick cash. Who could have predicted that besides everyone?

    If you look at the way they've treated Big Show over the years it's clear Vince thinks guys that large will always be over based on mere presence. Braun's going to move up and down the card and be booked as a monster or a comedy character based on their needs at the time. There are probably some sobbing promo segments or New Years baby diapers in his future.

    Broken or not, I'd like them to run the division until Dash comes back so they can put The Revival over strong.

    When they cycled back in guys like Sarge and Rude during the late 90s as onscreen characters they did excellent career retrospective video packages reintroducing them to the new audience. That's how I became familiar with them initially and it felt like a big deal that they were back in some capacity. I don't know if they've ever done anything like that to get across Lawler's importance (maybe during the Cole feud?)

    No hour-long time format, just endless hoss matches with increasingly larger guys until they do the superplex imploding ring spot. Every week.

    Yeah, the episode I've often seen suggested as their Jump the Shark was the one with the racetrack jockeys where there seemed to be an attempt to be as crass as South Park.

    It feels like there was a solid three years in the 90s where The Chase was on Comedy Central nearly every day and I'd usually stop on it for a few minutes when I was channel surfing.

    Hey that's not fair. Those lanyard mics are a real bitch to take off.

    Consigned, and really what's the difference between the beginning of the Austin/Hart feud and Braun/Roman? (The mechanics of it, obviously not the once in a lifetime talent involved.) Wasn't it just Austin beating the shit out of Hart and the crowd eating it up until the double-turn?

    Wasn't that like Frasier's catchphrase? Like his, "Up your nose with a rubber hose."

    Ain't No Grave being redubbed after 27 bummed me out. Although I've really grown on them using Katy Perry for Taker's entrance during the NBC recap special since it's so batshit weird.

    Bearer carried the Kane feud on the mic and was a great mouthpiece in general for Kane. And as much fun as the character's hokey early run was, he really excelled at being a prick doing old school southern heeling after he ditched the makeup in 97-98. As far as guys who were able to adapt their act to the Attitude Era, Percy is an unsung hero.

    I wouldn't count Big E out of a B-Show title run at some point. There are a lot of guys who could enjoy a nice Mark Henry or Christian-type late career push if they stay healthy.

    Before I caught the roast and standup stuff I was familiar with Don from that ventriloquist episode of Tales From the Crypt, Casino, and of course

    Lol at Punk destroying a TV over a bad divas match. If he wasn't CM Punk he'd be one of the guys on YouTube wrecking his own house because CM Punk jobbed to a part-timer.

    Abbott and Costello's monster movies were closer to Shaun of the Dead than Young Frankenstein. The monsters were always taken seriously, they just happened to be terrorizing nitwits who were funny.

    This was such a money TV spot. I had only been following wrestling for about a year, and Stone Cold and Taker had been the two focal points of the company nearly the entire time, so the match felt huge.

    Listened to a clip from what I think was JR's pod where he's talking to Meltzer, and Dave tells a story about going to dinner with a top wrestler on the roster in 97 and the guy being certain Taker had only a year or so left because of injuries. In 1997. Ross also mentioned Taker getting hip surgery later this month. I also just came across this Sad Hulk Theme version of "Undertaker" that rules.

    The Goldbergs Batman 89 episode directed by Kevin Smith is on tonight. I adore this show if for no other reason than seeing George Segal in the Adam West suit.
