Its not bullshit. When you start using terms like "actor" you have already lost.

Maybe Fat Fuck Barrel Boy worked the show? “He’s fat, he’s a fuck, he wears a barrel…what’s not to like?” The true death of kayfabe was when he took the barrel off so he could get into the ring.

Mike Awesome looking like he's ready to enter the 1990s in style. Unfortunately, no one told him he had already missed that decade and that it was the year 2000.

Seconding this. When I have kids and they get old enough to have the "dont do drugs" speech, I am locking them in a room and making them watch Requiem For A Dream. It will be a better "dont do drugs" message than anything the Dare program could come up with. Then I am going to another room in the house cuz I will be damned if I am going to watch that movie again.

I give Rey credit for even being up for trying a spot as innovative and/or risky on an indy show. He's definitely earned the right to just go through the motions on the indy circuit, work a basic match, 619, West Coast Pop, 1-2-3. Cool to know he's not doing that, or at least he wasn't on this night.

What does Hulk Hogan have to do with any of this?

Are you sure you werent watching Live Free or Die Hard?

Well shit, gonna take me about three fulls days and nights away from that image for me to sleep comfortably again. If you had asked me to predict horrifying images to be posted on this thread, I have to admit "PHOTOBOMBING COWBOY CHRIS BENOIT" would not have been one of them.

Oh man, I would love it if some shitty indy ripped off the "Undertaker/Kane comes up from underneath the ring to kidnap someone" gimmick and inverted it so someone kidnaps a flippy guy through the ceiling.

Well shit. Those last two posts just make me mad that The New Day didn't exist in the '90s and have a run in WAR going against all those wacky trios they would put together: The New Day vs. Bob Backlund, Scott Putski, and The Warlord Big E. and Kofi vs. Stan Lane and Earthquake Xavier Woods' trombone vs. Tenryu The New Day vs. Hector Garza and The Eliminators Xavier Woods vs. Yoji Anjoh Big E. and Kofi vs. El Gigante and Koji Kitao The New Day vs. Bob Backlund, Jimmy Snuka, and Mil Mascaras Xavier Woods vs. Damien 666 The New Day vs. Chris Jericho, The Warlord, and Vampiro All of these are matches that I am now upset that I will never get to see due to stupid space/time continuum limitations.

I really enjoyed the JBL shoot with Bischoff, and am really looking forward to Part 2. Was pretty awesome seeing a WWE employee on a WWE-endorsed broadcast basically saying "Vince raided the territories and put the AWA out of business" and bringing up the hypocrisy of Bischoff being accused of the same thing. Programs like this and Table For 3 are really the moments where I think "THIS is the potential that the WWE Network has." Sure, there could definitely be more archival footage added to on-demand, but programs like these will keep me coming back on a monthly basis in the absence of that way more than stuff like Countdown and Swerved.

Its wild. I was dreading this impending Kane-Rollins storyline, but the minute they launched into basically redoing Joseph Park/Abyss with Corporate Kane/DemonKane I was lured back in. Really looking forward to a few weeks of this.

Eh, to be fair, the phrase "fuck you money" has existed for a long ass time. Is it really that creative to just delete the word "you" from that already existing phrase? Because if it is, I am sure as shit gonna find someone more awesome than Virgil to credit with that evolution. Fuck it, moving forward, whenever that phrase comes up, I am gonna talk about how awesome it was on that episode of WCW Saturday Night and Dusty was on commentary talking about how "The Armstrong Brothers are on their way to da pay windah to get themselves that fuck money." Because seriously, FUCK VIRGIL.

Seriously, the idea that a 1976 GCW show headlined by that and Terry Funk defending the title against Mr. Wrestling II is just sitting in HBO's vault collecting dust is heartbreaking. Someone needs to get HBO GO cracking on posting that asap.

I've got Pro Wrestling History showing me the first Jerry Lawler vs. Bill Dundee match as being on December 1st, 1975, and Cagematch showing their last match against each other being January 29th, 2011. 35 years, 1 month, 28 days.

Growing up in Northern Michigan, there were a few family friends that had the big dishes since they lived just outside of town and cable didn't extend all the way out. Was kind of awesome seeing just the wide variety of stuff you could pick up. Though probably the most fucked up thing me and a friend ever picked up through the big dish was stumbling across some channel from Central America that was actually broadcasting cockfighting, complete with voiceover commentators.

I legitimately don't know whether I think a retcon that Riddick and Dominic are actually the same person would be the greatest thing ever or the worst thing ever.

DustyTaker?

"What's your name?" "Brine Stork-" "IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS!"

When I get my money mark fed going, my top heel stable is going to be called "THESE Fucking Guys" I am also very ready for my money mark fed to crash and burn very quickly

Yep, and when the matches inevitably end up being terrible, Bayley will get blamed. And if they somehow end up being good, Bayley wont get any credit.

Hey, that's MISTER Broke Strawman to you.

Cool, Ahmed managed to botch animating in a GIF also. EDIT: did Ahmed ever wrestle Sid?

As long as at some point Bubba Fangman ends up in a bodyguard gimmick where he wears a shirt and tie, I am on board with whatever happens next. Man, wrestling needs more big dudes doing "shirt and tie" bodyguard/cleaner gimmicks.
