The Comedian

I think they're leaving money on the table if they don't put the strap on Haku. Easily the most believable sixty-something champ of all time...

Hey speaking of unwanted turns, I can't be the only one that's wondering if they're gonna have Nikki Bella turn on her sister to join the mean girls again...

My Facebook feed is just non-stop LeBron. It's horrifying.

Only upside is that I can laugh at all the clowns who are excited about this after LeBitchass destroys the team with his ego...

"Generation Y doesn't want to watch your boring old Mile Zrno matches!"

Aaaaand I can't even enjoy the Sixers winning a trade for a day without rumors kicking around that they want to bring in Bron to destroy team chemistry, demoralize our young stars the way he did AD, and force us to give him the minutes/shots he needs to keep being a 20 ppg guy in his mid-forties...

Nice to see the Sixers fleecing someone else for a change. Never would've happened under Daryl "love me some aging millennial players" Morey...

I loathe Springsteen, but that is a great song...at least when Levon Helm is singing it...

Oba Femi happened. Also, Trick Williams, Je'Von Evans, and Royce Keys. Triple H would like you to know that he's not against pushing black guys, just fortysomething black guys. But he's still against pushing Steiners...

Wanting to see MOVES~!!! in the 80's, particularly if you're following WWF, is different. Guys would wrestle entire matches of kick-punch back then. The few moves they did do were the most basic shit possible. It reminds me of a Tito Santana shoot where he talked about smartening Randy Savage up to working the Northeast. He said that people in NYC, Philly, Boston, etc. didn't want to see a wrestling match, they wanted to see a fight. And if you go back and watch Tito's stuff, for a guy many people think of as a "technical" or even "aerial" wrestler, he was a lot punch/kick-ier than you may remember. Lots of armbars (which was weird, considering he used a leg lock as a finish), duck a clothesline and hit multiple dropkicks (1985 WWF's idea of a huge highspot), hia big set-up for the flying forearm was a back body drop for crying out loud. God forbid he use a suplex in a match. There were outliers of course, like Don Muraco pulling out second-rope tombstones and inverted calf brandings and such. But yeah, go watch Rocky Johnson pull out Japanese leg roll clutches in Portland, then go to WWF and use a fucking sunset flip as his finish (even worse, there's a Soul Patrol match out there where he literally wins with a body slam.) The problem, as usual, is the human tendency towards extremes and absolutes. Meltzer's ilk has overcorrected by assuming that anything that isn't MOVES~!!! wrestling is NO MOVES~!!! wrestling. Which is why I see AEW tribalists on Facebook claiming that Gunther is "boring" and "only does three moves." He's not doing half the finishers of 1998 AJPW in a match like Walter did, so he sucks now...

Not to mention that, as the mother of an autistic kid, you'd think she'd be more understanding of an autistic person's lack of tact. I had an autistic roommate once. Soon after I moved in, he saw me going out to smoke and asked to bum a cig. As I gave him one, he very matter-of-factly told me, "I hid mine so you wouldn't steal them, and now I can't find them." Then he took my cig and walked out as if that was a totally normal thing to say. I just chuckled. It's just something you learn to deal with. There's no natural filter there.

Yeah that's not that much of a hot take. I do think it's the best match between them, and it might be the best Taker match overall. For HBK, it's probably in the top five somewhere with the first ladder match with Razor, the Mankind match, the Angle Mania match (the only big post-comeback HBK match I really like), and shit I guess Good Friends Better Enemies with Diesel..

I agree with Technico here, mainly because that quote sounds like something and TV writer would have random punk #1 say to Jack Reacher in order to instigate a bar fight...

Sandman performing aerial moves as awkwardly as possible was charming because, "Hey, he's an average joe who's willing to throw his body around." Seth doing the same is, "Why can't Mr. Crossfit the supposed best athlete in the business take a Frankensteiner bump properly on three tries?"

I'm assuming it's the chest tattoo..
