Curt McGirt

He wasn't about the grind UNTIL he got about the WWE Grind. Cause that's the only grind that matters.

Back to the trailer of my hoooooome

...yes. Yes, it is also a good idea. Unnecessary but very very good.

Any argument that nobody knows the Stardom gals and we need like an '80s style clipfest of matches set to "Maniac" from Flashdance to introduce somebody is missing the fact that they're posting on the Internet and that's where you find out about these things nowadays instead. I was disappointed in Joe's scaredy-eyes at the end there. He should just look mad. Real real mad.

Well, I guess points for stealing the "look at his face" gag from Black Mass?

Anybody have a pic of Taurus in his new gear? All I could find was this photo of a man who very well may have the face of Roman Reigns: Goddamn that's a big forehead.

Might be best to just look at the Jericho thing as a rite of passage for any up and comer coming along in AEW, kind of like Hook having a Kane feud. Or a Miz feud.

This is extra amusing to me because I could have just sent along the Hechicero match I watched last night on my phone

Seth? That toadie isn't saying anything that may displease The Massssssssssster. And do either of those have guys have connections to Ospreay? You want to feel old, start a job where the 17 year-old kids working with more responsibility than you still can't handle alcohol purchased by supermarket customers. Re: the chickenhawk thing, Edge was probably thinking of this guy

Elsalvajeloco you just made me finally look up what the term 'half and half' means, thanks! "WHAT IS HIS DEAL" and "I LIKE YOUR NECKLACE" from Shibata's phone Not quite hitting on Renee ("I LIKE YOUR DRESS" would have went there) but a friendly comment verging on it makes it funnier. Shibata as the odd-man-out in six mans is a fun use of him. It kind of sucks that this had to have an angle attached to it because otherwise it would have been much better. As for the other New Japan guy, how long has it been since Okada worked a squash, if ever? Wonder if Argento is a fan of Argento. Got my "corner of the room CCTV footage" shot! No B&W, but no sound; perfect. This "fight" looked way lamer than I imagined and really it is just a big 'who cares' to me. I don't see why there is reason to moan about it from them or us. I don't watch this shit for interpromotional drama and who is shook and who is right and who is whatever, I watch the wrestling for the wrestling. I could question AEW using this to try and heat up an ice-cold title match, but that would be treating it like it matters, and if I did I would be giving it far more relevance than any of it deserves. CM Punk ain't living rent free in my head. (Meanwhile, you know who took backstage bullshit and make it work for him? Will Ospreay, who slaughtered a promo, threw some poo back at HHH, underlined the importance of his PPV match, and sounded more verbally coherent than ever before... in five minutes.) Mariah ("Double-Chop Jones!" - Taz) and Anna had a fine match that the crowd was kinda deceptively into, they'd get real quiet but then be real loud all of the sudden. Dunno why the heat sounded so inconsistent. Somebody gotta find the Taz/Goldust match that's floating around out there for us.

New Vendetta: The Dunkin' Donuts (you're never gonna be just Dunkin', folks) "gimme gimme some" commercial with that cloying, atrocious honking music

It'd be great to see Shaun again, maybe with an audience this time. I don't remember it being the laff riot I imagine it'll be this time around.

My problem tonight is not checking the board before I get home. Grrrrrr

Not just TAKA. Full Kaientai-Deluxe reunion. Do it, Tony.

The lady on the video also reminded me of the terrible show these kids were watching in the break room at work the other day. It was a speed-dating show where they had guys walk up to a young woman who would immediately insult and curse at them (with judicious use of the N-word), 'keep' them if they "smelled good", start trivial arguments immediately, etc. It was like Jerry Springer in fast forward. Find the worst person possible, hand them a mic, hang a treat over their head for being a good guest and making all the dumb noises and turn the camera on. EDIT: Oh and I forgot they kind of tried to censor it? But the bleeps would always come out too late or just not at all. It was like a parody of doing that.

Just wanna open the drawer and scrape it all in.

Might as well leave this here too: RIP John Sinclair https://freedomnews.org.uk/2024/04/09/obituary-john-sinclair-1924-2024/

Done that with Beavis and Butthead and you run into the same retractions.

Well FFS they were the bankroll behind Reagan since the '50s, of course they would get mad.

That is a great comparison! Think about it: barely anybody on here has probably ever heard of Chris Colt. The Joplin part got me. Also, man was the porn guy a weirdo. I doubt many would agree with his opinion of pro wrestling as softcore porn for gay men. Clearly it was to him at least. Given that he robbed trap houses I'm wondering if this didn't coincide with his wrestling bookings as he transitioned away from them, given that he jumped so frequently from town to town. Like, he would obviously not be able to stick around, so maybe he drops into a place to work a show, sticks around for a week to work an angle on some dealers, does the deed and skips out. The thought of roaming Chris Colt, professional wrestler and professional dope fiend/dope thief, is something.

I'm imagining it as like CCTV footage from the upper corner of a hallway in black and white where somebody fights out of camera range, comes backing into the shot yelling, then walks out again and then somebody walks past holding their face or something.

It's crazy to me that they're still pulling film elements out of storage and in estate sales from dead people's collections of the most obscure films to this day. TV has to be even harder to come by.

So what's the story behind that, they get in trouble from the administration or hawks in the public and press?

RIP John Sinclair, White Panther, political prisoner, and manager of the MC5.

You would pick the one dish of that kind I've had, and love.
