Holy fucking fuck that is sad. I feel the tiniest bit bad for them.

Sound theory but with Paige I'd say there's two crazy women in the group. Bayley would probably be designated driver.

Roddy Piper Terry Funk Dusty Rhodes Didn't have to think much about this one. Sad that two of them are gone, still hard to let that sink in. While it would have been fantastic to drink with them, I can say I drunk with The Briscoes and Papa Briscoe in one of the first shows they did at Du Burns Arena in Baltimore. My now-wife and friends went with me and she just adored them. We drank shots of Wild Turkey, and they were impressed she drank that with no problem. They were cool as can be, and Papa was so much fun to be around. And I found out the hard way no matter what you drive say you drove a Dodge. Told Mark I had a Honda and he had the big eyes going on and was getting animated. Shit, if I happen to see Jay at a show he still remembers me from that. It might not have been throwing shit around and getting in fights, but it's a time I'll never forget. Past that, I've seen Roderick Strong at damn near every after party I've gone to and it's always good to see him. I don't know if they still do ROH after parties when they go around, but damn do I miss them.

I still believe that if they can arrange it so Scott's not tempted by the extracurricular activities that did him in before, him in the Performance Center would be ideal. Can't wait to hear this.

As much as I'm annoyed by the idea of Virgil trying to get a Sheik-like resurgence, that phrase is admittedly pretty good. Surprised nobody used that yet that I'm aware of. Now if his face wasn't on there it might sell a bit more.

Only saw up to the Divas tag match, but I loved it every time Becky and Sasha face each other. Still hoping for a main show epic singles match, but the times there were together were fucking great. And Paige is definitely going to turn, she was pacing afterwards pissed off and she was doing some subtle things to hint at that. Great job. Oh, and how can I forget Tamina shaking her head with the camera zoomed in on her. In a non-wrestling way she's definitely bringing the awesomeness in her role.

In TNA's defense it's impossible to edit out all of Bram's appearance in Lethal Lockdown. They could have tried to minimize it to a degree though. And they can't exactly put a graphic saying this was from before he was arrested, they still try to go for a live show feel.

Most of the way through it, and it's impossible not to like Dana. Really put Warrior in a positive light while admitting he wasn't perfect. Made me think back to his HOF speech about his family, then days later he passes. Man, that's tough to think about. But a great interview.

Crazy seeing Crowe/Crews in a WWE ring. And Gargano/Ciampa were very well received. Loved Asuka's video, very excited for her. But the highlight by leaps and bounds was Bayley. The celebration, the running in the crowd, and especially the stuff with Izzy. No problem saying we were feeling the feels big time. Bayley is so incredibly special in so many ways.

An autographed Backlund book sounds pretty damn awesome, and at $35 that's one helluva deal. Considering books on average are $25 and up you're paying about $10 for a personalized autograph. Not bad. Can't say I've been a fan of Backlund, but I'd love to find out how he became who he is. Michael, Kev72, I'd love to see what you two thought of it.

The bump itself was good, but I remember that match got shit on for many reasons. Chief among them was the fact that the bump happened in the same arena Owen died. I remember a lot of people were pissed off about that.

At least you didn't have to see that angle live. Was there at No Mercy '03, and while it had fun matches that McMahon one was just weird as fuck. Not a good idea at all.

I still remember seeing Becky at Raw week and promised myself I wouldn't go too far with how hot she looks. Well, this isn't helping matters. So...um...how about that match she had with Sasha at NXT? Wasn't that great?

Was going to post what JT just posted, so holding off to avoid getting ninja'd. But it is really petty of WWE to do this considering she had nothing to do with the walkout or lawsuit. She's just guilty by association (unless she said something but haven't seen it) And it's tougher to get over it if you are/were an AJ fan.

What a helluva picture. So cool looking at that. Speaking of Savage/Eddie I'm pretty sure they wrestled in WCW at some point. Going to have to look that up. And I don't know about you all, but I can't wait for Bayley's return tonight. Just can't get enough of her being awesome and the crowd showing their love.

I'm absolutely loving this game. Need to get back into it hopefully tonight if not tomorrow. So far we created whatever our diabolical minds could come up with. Can't say they're good, definitely not shareable. But it's fun for my wife and I to make levels and see how crazy we can drive each other. Only level I downloaded so far is a maze-type level. It wasn't hard but it was well-done. Can't wait to see what you guys came up with.

Holy fuck! I'm super excited for this, can't wait to try it. But I gotta say, Mario Maker is a blast to play. We spent a good couple hours Saturday coming up with the craziest shit we could do.

So this is a bit distressing from the Observer: Sounds like the family could pursue a wrongful death suit if they wanted. It's kind of a relief it wasn't drug-related, but it still sucks.

I love that of all the years they pick this one to induct a second guy. And really, why the hell not, for all they know they won't be around next October. Might as well get this done now. And I love everybody flipping out over him when in reality this shit doesn't matter. Dixie still doesn't have the heart to tell Sting she got an offbrand Rolex for him from a street in NYC.

I was laughing so hard when Jake told the story of how he tried to blade to convince his wife he was attacked at a bar.

Damn, that Jake episode was outstanding. If ever there was somebody that needed a two-part episode, it's him. That should be required for every wrestler, especially the younger ones. Now I'm going to spend some time looking up some killer Jake matches I got a chuckle out of his not-that-subtle jabs at Ambrose and HHH.

Because there's those who, much like JT with Orton want to just say #FuckNikkiBella Granted, that could be in the literal sense this time, but it's easy to just say she's everything that's wrong about the division. That and her pairing with Cena doesn't help matters (see: HHH with the "Bosses daughter" argument that's been attached to him since the early 00s.

Fuck Walmart, but I'm seeing some stores with Christmas items already. Toys R Us has it out there, and there's this discount store called Ollies (not sure if it's local or not) that has it out as well. Haven't seen the main stores yet but wouldn't be surprised to see decorations and such at Target. Every year they push it earlier. That whole Christmas in July thing? Betcha we're going to see this shit in August next year, then the year after in July just because they suck. No wonder I like Halloween more and more as the years go on.

I can see that happening. If you don't have your phone locked it's incredibly easy for a friend to just post stuff under somebody else's name as a joke. All it takes is that somebody to step away for a couple minutes. Normally it's stuff to get others online to react and think the user of that account lost his/her mind. Granted, the post is rather extreme and I can see why one would call BS on it. But there's is a sense of plausibility to it.

If WWE said she didn't post it and it's true, then that shouldn't be held against Jasmin. Now being friends with Zahra, that should be. But then again, would it make a difference if Zahra was friends with other people? Should they be looked at differently as well? It's that whole guilty by association thing, and unless she shared racist beliefs with Zahra I wouldn't worry too much about Jasmin.
