The old mobile site was set up where when you clicked on a thread it automatically took you to the last unread post. That doesn't appear to be happening with the new mobile site. Is that something that will be fixed or am I stuck sifting through 19 posts I have already read to get to post 20 that is new since I last checked the board?

Awesome to see Lucha Underground get some love today from a mainstream L.A. pub/website like LA Weekly: The Masks, Monsters and Mythos of Lucha Underground, TV's Best Wrestling Drama Probably nothing here none of us already know, but still cool to see!

Not seen out of frame in that Stan Hansen and Tommy Rich pic...is them also holding a "ME SO HORNY" t-shirt.

Shit, I ain't ruling out that he has already done it by accident.

Holy fuck DEAN, you weren't kidding about that Ronald McDonald vs. Grandpa match. That thing was like if Chikara and glory days IWA Mid-South KOTDM had a fucked-up demon baby.

The list of victims falling to the power of Joey Ryan's junk continues to grow. Tonight's latest victim: Techno Destructo (ex-GWAR)

Another reason to loathe Seth Rollins. Seth Rollins made Sting old? C'mon dude, Rollins walks along the same line of clumsiness RVD does. I'm probably just bitter Sting didn't retire after last years Mania when he should have. I agree with you to a point but the spot itself (the buckle bomb) didn't look reckless or botched. It just looked like a 56 year old who's body wasn't in condition to be in the ring anymore took a move he shouldn't have taken. And that move was after a vicious table bump he probably shouldn't have taken too.

I just want to know how the hell Eva Marie still manages to run the ropes like it's her first day at wrestling school and not TWO YEARS into her career.

Gods of Egypt looked like one of those commercials that have a voiceover narration about how man's most eternal struggle has been unlocking the true potential that lurks within and ends up being for a GNC nutritional supplement. Or if it aired during the Super Bowl, a commercial for Prius.

Loved the Jericho prematch promo. Loved Jericho tearing up a fan's "Get Well Bret" sign on the way out even more. Everything else - save for Enzo and Cass vs Revival - was pretty forgettable.

Isnt Ivan wrapped up in the legends suing over concussions lawsuit?

I hope that Bayley is booked somewhere else that night.

Dammit, now I want to see that spot done where that actually revives the ref and he counts the three.

THAT is quality MISC. My new nominee for WINNER of the Internet. Holy crap, I want a Driverette on this one.

Just watched the 1985 Johnny Depp/Rob Morrow '80s T&A comedy "Private Resort" on Starz and man, that may be the WACKIEST '80s T&A Comedy farce from that era, and that's saying something. It had the following ALL happening: -Waiter accidentally spilling wine on the '80s bad guy while ogling the bad guy's girlfriend's boobs (girlfriend played by Leslie Easterbook of Police Academy fame). -A lecherous 12-year old kid scheming to see women topless and breaking the fourth wall with a smart-alecky comment about things that are happening. -The '80s bad guy getting hit in the nuts with a golf ball. -Hector Elizondo as the '80s bad guy, slumming it in a role that's way beneath him. And that's just the first 12 minutes of the movie. Other things that happen: -Grandma accidentally took Quaaludes and is tripping balls. -Tons of pratfalls by alternate bad guy - the stuffy head of resort security! -A very high quotient of hot '80s chicks with plenty of gratuitous hot '80s chick nudity. Balanced out by some Johnny Depp and Rob Morrow ass for the ladies. -Japanese people that are either grunting fat guys that practice sumo all the time or tourists with cameras. -Andrew Dice Clay shows up 50 minutes into the movie. -Uh oh, Johnny Depp is about to bang Andrew Dice Clay's girlfiend, but Andrew Dice Clay is now in the same resort suite too! -Rob Morrow having to dress in drag to escape from the bad guy. Lo and behold, both '80s bad guy and Andrew Dice Clay ogle him while he's dressed as a woman and feel her/him up. -A threadbare story device where the '80s bad guy is trying to steal a rare jewel from Grandma. -Sorry '80s bad guy, Grandma knows karate and ain't taking any shit from you. -And during the final climactic chase, a painter gets knocked off a ladder and a can of paint falls onto the '80s bad guy's head. And that's also after the '80s bad guy gets hit with a pie. -The final joke of the movie is a dude in pain getting his genitals squeezed really hard, and then the movie freeze-frames on other characters laughing. Cue credits. I give this movie Eleventy Billion Stars.

And thus was the sad tragic tale of how Finn Balor broke his ankle again

I'm sure we'll get a varied selection of moves in there. Enzuigiris, running enzuigiris, step-up enzuigiris, leg-feed enzuigiris, diving enzuigiris, shining enzuigiris, springboard enzuigiris, triangle enzuigiris... Also 90% of the guys will use a lungblower. Sentons. The marks love sentons. Also snapmare/spine punt combos. Don't forget various forms of suplexes, drivers, and bombs on the apron. That shit on the indies these days is almost as bad as Shining Wizards were getting in 2006. EDIT: Has anyone done a Shining Wizard on the ring apron? Or reversed a Shining Wizard attempt into a power bomb on the apron?

Big Show interview was awesome. I could have easily listened to them talk for another hour and got the vibe they easily could have filled another hour. Hearing Big Show be brutally honest about creative and his own career was pretty awesome. I was so glad they did this as a live interview instead of pre-taped, lord knows how much would have been butchered if that was the case.

An underappreciated mark of beauty with Chappelle's Show is that it could hit hard with great social satire with sketches like Clayton Bigsby and Keeping It Real Gone Wrong but then seemlessly transition into poop jokes, and they were funny poop jokes too. To this day I still occasionally use the phrase "doo-doo butter" from the R. Kelly sketch. I also love that in the sketch where he's daydreaming about being a famous rapper, he's not daydreaming about being a genre-defining superstar, but a hack-gimmick rapper with goat legs.

It could be worse. It's not like you actually watched him use the other teams as human suppositories.

What the hell ever happened to Al Isaacs anyway? He seems like someone that might make for a fun podcast guest if anyone could track him down, even if just to get to the bottom of who kept feeding him the "Yokozuna's joining the Hart Foundation" rumor.

Doing a binge watch of 1988 Superstars right now and last episode I viewed was the first "Fabulous" Rougeau Brothers promo with the little American flags and it really is stunning just how quickly the switch flipped from dreadfully dull babyfaces to incredibly obnoxious heels. Even if it was executed so subtly that at the end of the first promo there were some fans chanting USA along with the Rougeaus.

I had a dream last night where WWE ended up shooting an angle where the Undertaker's Wrestlemania match this year would be against Mike Tyson. And then I realized how excited I actually would be if they went for that. Tyson's at a stage in his life and such a fan of wrestling he may actually be up for doing the job and taking the tombstone also. It would also keep Taker from having to work a match where he's take a bunch of bumps since that's not what fans would expect from such a match.

For Director's Cuts, for me it starts and ends with the Mel Gibson movie Payback. The director's cut actually plays like a gritty 1970's crime movie, and it gets rid of the blue filter of the theatrical version and actually looks like a movie.

I'm sure it also doesn't help that some carriers only have El Rey in the absolute highest tier of their cable/satellite packages. I loved watching Lucha Underground on Unimas last year and it's a bummer that it appears Unimas won't be picking it up again (weren't the rating supposedly pretty good for the Unimas repeats too?), because I love LU, but I don't love the idea of frigging paying an additional $26/month above what I'm paying now essentially just for El Rey.
