    Sometimes…

     

    … when Old Bones is feeling down.  I’ll go onto youtubes and search for videos of Stuart Copeland… as he yells at STING and calls him a “cunt”.  
     

    I immediately feel best better.  I shit you not.  It is a salve for the soul.  
     

    No…

     

    …I won’t be posting links here today.  No, sir.  If you’re to take this journey.  You must take that first step yourself.

    It’s certainly a better investment than shelling out again to only use “The Final Countdown” twice.  Not that I had any expectation of that.  
     

    But the novelties of Bryan’s last run vs. the frugality of the day to day cost of running a major wrestling promotion.  I’m honestly stunned the MCMGs haven’t really been in my orbit of conversation.  What an oversight!

    Elimination Chamber XIV - 2/24/2024

    in WWE PROGRAMMING

    I thought Tiffany Stratton was amazing.  She busted her ass out there and largely carried the interest of the match.   
     

    I wasn’t aware she was a heel up until this this point.  But she looked like she did a face turn to me.  Probably became a star too.

     

    Edit: I’d also like to deny the existence of anyone allegedly named “Butch”.

     

    Thank you.

    WWE TV - 2/5 - 2/11/2024 - Hey Hey, My My, Rocky Pushed Cody Aside

    That shirt is amazing.

     

    So how much of this show is left now that the overall motivation to tune is “disaster watching”?  Is there anything to enjoy?  Is Ricochet still there?

    I’m currently watching the meltdown on Busted Open.  So this WWE shit, that I don’t make much time for, is finding a way to penetrate my AEW force field.  It’s got me thinking.  
     

    But that’s because wrestling fans are a particular bunch as far as how they fit into the overall culture.  There is boatloads of overlap there regardless of what brand you spend your time on.

    But there is little to no overlap in mainstream media.  It’s always been that way but for a few notable exceptions (like say Hogan/Andre on NBC at 8pm).  Years of following McMahon style decisions not only suggests but SCREAMS an absolute thirst for that kind of acceptance.  
     

    ROCK/Roman IS the biggest match any company anywhere has to offer the world and they’ve been chasing it for years.  For Rock it’s a chance to get back in there one more time.  For Roman, it’s his bridge out of the company and on to bigger and better things.  They have their claws dug in and the power to not have to let go.

    And just like that.  Cody and WRESTLING FANS are betrayed.  We have seen shows where the crowd populating the arena are a bunch of nonfans (Mania 4/5).  It’s a suck show.  Thankfully the tickets got sold largely before a certain Board Member cut in front of the line at Dunks and bought all the donuts.
     

    As a fucking geek I find it offensive that this company I spent decades watching commit artistic suicide.  Again.

    Let’s face it.  ROCK is going to go out there and injure himself on a kip up.  His legacy as a wrestler will preclude him from doing what HE SHOULD be doing.  Which is an upper card celebrity bullshit Vince match with all the smoke and mirrors it requires.  It’s not like ROCK is going to wow us with a goddamn moonsault or any new moves at all.

    They flinched last time when it FINALLY got figured out that not putting Bryan over at 30 would have led to embarrassing the company on its biggest day of the year.  But this may have gone too far to turn back.

    Bully Ray is saying doing Cody/Roman at the Garden one the first Netflix show could end the story correctly.  But I think that’s too far away. 
     

    Fuck it.  Put ROCK/Roman on earlier in the show and let Rollins/Cody close the show.  They’ve already committed.  Maybe that can give the fans a chance to make this right.  Or Rollins and Cody should call Steamboat to show them how to steal the show from the two biggest stars in the industry.

    Samoa Joe as World Champion of a big company is awesome.  I saw nothing of his run as TNA champion (I’m not even 100 he was).  So I can’t state how well he did.

    The potential he showed in ROH as their big G so planted the idea that WWE would be stupid not to scoop him up and monster heel him to the moon.  They did.  EVENTUALLY!  The big E run was pretty “OK” I guess.  At least he got to mix it up with Lesner a little bit. FWIW.
     

    So top guy Joe is something I’ve waited a long time to see.  He fucking rules.  

    Can I get a Joe Bomb?

    BOOM!

    Yes, I can.

    I so badly want to go to this but you know the show isn't ending until at least midnight and last train back to NYC from Hempstead is a little after 1am. You do not want to end up in Hempstead overnight for 4 hours, trust me. Public transportation totally sucks for the Coliseum. 

    Been there.  Done that.  Got stuck at a tiny store waiting for a Greyhound and it took 10 hours until the next bus came.  I’m pretty sure I died there.

    Swerve should beat Dragon. Strap a rocket to that motherfucker. Someone needs to beat MJF while we’re waiting for Cole to heal up.

    But the TNT title is beneath both those dudes.

    As Bryan Danielsons 2ND best fan.  Even I still agree with this.

    And I’m not at all bitter about it.  
     

    Anyone got that TheNatural bat signal meme?

    Who I gotta stab?

    Speaking of getting choked up a bit.  I got the fucking FEELZ when Nick hit Darby.  
     

    That degree of starvation applied to a young man who would sacrifice ANYTHING for an authentic fatherlike experience is insanely relatable. 
     

    I’m the same age as Christian Cage.  But I’m pretty sure he could talk me into it too.

    It's cool, man. I joke about it enough, so maybe some people don't know the hell it's put me through. I just take it one day at a time. That's all I can do. 

    I didn’t know.  Though I was referencing some other posts that I had read as bit more clowning in tone.  So I was adding to that.  If I read the room wrong I could see why it could be taken in poor taste.  
     

    With all respect I apologize.  I will abstain from my next hit of weed.

    I’ll be slightly amused/depressed when the Filoni movie “underperforms” at the box office because it’s going to be more niche than what people claim the MCU, but it’s going to be right up my alley so I can’t wait.

    Totally.  I couldn’t give two shits if the rest of the world doesn’t catch up.
