Probably kinda hard to kick out when you have a giant head weighing down your upper half. Chiitan being an anti-corporate mascot that sells nothing and just smashes stuff immediately makes this one of the coolest things in Japan.

Well, it wasn't a tidal wave. Yet.

You ain't kidding! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiitan Hey HHH, you want someone who's gonna work til they break, why don't you throw some cash at Gringo Loco

Slaughter was a heel until the Iron Sheik feud. He was a heel in the AWA with Don Kernodle too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rd5RXBKOwM4 Here's another total bloodfeast of the highest order

Nice! Didn't light right in his face but the shrapnel flying off made it nasty.

If overworking lunatics are actually stealing the name of my beloved musical subgenre then we should do something to them that would be in the lyrics of a Carcass song. (Especially ironic that the real grindcore was born from the work-despising world of hardcore punk and underground metal.) If Aytch only wants guys he can work to death, he better be happy with everyone going to work for someone providing proper conditions instead.

Mike Modest also came to mind. And that guy that killed his family, of course. Funny, I stepped out for some reason (take a piss?) and came back in right as they were yelling about the fireball and was like "aw man I missed it" but apparently they did too?

I've seen the original and it feels truncated, but still great. If I had to put it in one word, I'd call it "unique". Need to catch that 4 hour cut someday.

Adult Swim: So guess they're finally FINISHING THE STORY haha

God it will make you hate Tom Petty, and make you want to come after John Mellencamp for sure. In better news, Secret Treaties by the best band ever, Blue Oyster Cult, has turned 50 today! Go get weird: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWPh9rIQ144

Oh man, didn't notice Sorry To Bother You up there. Don't remember what it's up against but that was probably my favorite movie of that year.

I unfortunately missed that first hour, but jumped in right at 9 (10 Eastern) as Gringo was entering the ring. Will watch the rest and comment later on today, for now here's what my viewing brought.

I started to watch Paths of Glory recently but had to turn it off. I was right in the middle of the trial and I could see it was gonna make me very, very mad.

Has anybody seen The Formula before? I just recorded it off TCM last night. Here's the blurb: I mean who would not want to watch that?!

Heaven's Gate is shoot awesome no matter what they thought in 1980.

Sasha, Rosa and Deonna are all delusional heels who think they're faces. Would make for a fine faction, hint hint...

It would be really funny to have Bron and Corbin with them for no reason.

He was never gonna bend over for the buck. No way. And yeah I forgot that Foley was so miserable he was ready to cash in on the Lloyd's of London policy by having Vader powerbomb him through the concrete on PPV.

Well, I'll be there an hour late anyway. When's the show wrapping up? (It's not like I haven't been showing up late to AEW forever now I guess)

Maybe don't Google then. Fuck.

Eat some really trash food and buy a questionable malt liquor in his honor!

Here's the MCW Road Report https://web.archive.org/web/20110614012426/http://www.deathvalleydriver.com/road/mcwsux.html

A reminder for watchers online: adjust for your regional time zone accordingly! This is at 8 PM Eastern so Central will be 9 (thankfully I'm off at 8 CE), for example. Just Google it if you need to.

That was an MCW show, and yes it was Axl Rotten. Dean, the Phils and everyone went to that and it was really bad because there were little kids there, figuring out how to flip off people even though they didn't know how to (like holding their fingers up to do it), just totally uncalled for filth. I think considering the content of the show as long as you aren't saying some really egregious stuff you'll be okay. Just take the temperature of the room and see if there are any kids there. Be smart. Slim J is gonna get a lot of love tonight. It would be nice if he got a lucha rain of money at the end of the match. I'm not sure if that would be viewed as respectful or mocking his situation however. Also wondering if there are title changes! I'll see y'all in the chat.

It amuses me that Harley thought Foley was crazy. My dude have you ever watched yourself wrestle? It's like the old "I learned it from watching you" anti-drug commercial.
