Noelle Foley and Ryback are in attendance. Meltzer says there's more pro wrestlers there tonight than at any UFC event they've ever had.

Robbie Lawler is out of UFC 205.

Funnily enough, the guy who originally wrote the script back in 2010 opened his own wrestling promotion recently, Lucha Ilimitado.

Darius asked to measure Earn's father's tree in his front yard. Later that night, there was a little blurb on the news channel about falling trees due to storms and whatnot. I love this show already.

I didn't know they made knock-off Martin Margiela masks.

Billy Crudup is playing Henry Allen in The Flash.

I asked Bruce Prichard during his AMA the other day if he ever played any pranks on The Undertaker involving cucumbers. His response was, "Me personally? NEVER! Because I hated pickles as much as he hated cucumbers. He respected my hatred and I respected his." I always thought Taker's cucumber thing was more of a phobia than just a dislike, but the way Prichard makes it sound is that they both just hated those foods, like I hate cilantro. Ever since I heard the stories about Undertaker, I had pictured him being the cat when you put a cucumber behind them and they finally notice it.

Punk hasn't ruled out working for New Japan in the future once his contract with UFC is up.

Yeah, I'm rooting for Punk, but watching that press conference from earlier... fuck, he looks like Christian Bale in The Machinist.

Mighty Inoue & "Texas Terminator Hoss"

I feel dirty for saying this, but... TMZ is reporting that Scott Hall was kicked out of a TGI Friday's bar after being drunk and disorderly.

Isn't a "serial killer that takes credit cards" just another word for an assassin? Something that a fictional government in a comic book world would absolutely employ and probably deem necessary if the situation was right?

Not sure if serious or a storyline.

You know after all this time that it can't possibly live up to the hype that it's received.

We can all take solace in that she went on to be the Chief of Staff for Selina Meyer.

I'd say somewhere in between comedy and drama, just like Weeds and Orange is the New Black.

You mean, "The Star that Left Them in the Dust" Cody Rhodes?

Both of mine are from Angel: The entire "You're Welcome" episode of the 5th season (100th episode overall). What a gutpunch of an episode, jesus. Then, three episodes later, Fred is possessed by Illyria. The scene where Wesley is holding Fred's body and they're both just lost in that moment and totally in love, and then - just like that - she's gone and an ancient God is in her place... Heartbreaking and shocking at the same time. I can't remember, since I haven't seen the episode in SUCH a long time, but I'm pretty sure "I Will Remember You" from S1 is pretty fucking sad too. That's one thing Whedon knows how to do - make you really depressed.

Roadies is just trying to be Almost Famous: The TV Series right? That's what it feels like. I don't know how I feel about this show and I'm already 4 episodes in. I was going to start Ray Donovan but it's been on the air for 3 years or something and I really don't want to binge watch that many seasons in two days. HBO doesn't have any newer shows, that I'm aware of, that I could binge on in one night. Showtime and Starz shows are usually hit or miss (as proven by Roadies). Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't think that's true at all.

I can easily believe Chandra would do those things considering she's fresh out of college and has no trial experience and likely hasn't dealt hands on with a convict. As for the jury being deadlocked, I just chalked it up to the defense presenting two other people who had a motive to commit the murder, or had a history of violent crimes that pretty much exactly matched the circumstances of the murder in question. I thought it was entirely possible that six people could believe one of those two could have done it, and the other six thought Naz did it. A little far-fetched, sure, they could have went with a lesser number and came with the same result, but it didn't bother me as much as it did everyone here (and on Reddit). Numerous people on Reddit had a problem with Det. Box "suddenly discovering" the CCTV footage of Ray following Andrea and later walking up to her brownstone around the same time the murder happened. I didn't, and just assumed his conscious finally got the better of him and decided to follow through, but it was already too late. He was months away from retirement, an open and shut case is exactly what he wanted before he cashed out, so ignored his gut and went with the easy case. People called it a "bait & switch", but I thought it was a commentary on the justice system wanting these types of cases in the face of a complicated case where multiple people could have done it. That's addressed when the State Prosecutor basically told Box to shut the fuck up about this and they're already too deep in with Naz and this trial. Coupled with the SP's decision not to go ahead with a re-trial of Naz, and her teaming up with Box at the end to "go get him" in reference to Ray, I think it's safe to assume that, within their world, Ray is likely about to be on trial (or Box just beat the shit out of him). The real victim in all of this is Naz and his family - even though he was an accessory to murder in Riker's, if Det. Box had done his due diligence and tracked Andrea's movements the night of, Naz probably wouldn't have ended up in Riker's Island awaiting trial and wouldn't have become (among other things) a junkie addicted to heroin. After a very public court case, his family's reputation is ruined as evident by his brother being kicked out of school despite simply defending himself, his father doesn't have a taxi so he's out of a job, Naz is a junkie and will likely be picked up in the future for a drug related crime (if not worse), and, seemingly, his relationship with his mother is fractured at best.

Botchamania has had plenty of instances where one worker apologizes to the other for a botch.

Eh, that's your choice. They're generally on the money when it comes to Network news and stuff about DVD/Blu-Rays.
