  1. One day I was heading home from work. I rounded a corner and ran right into Bruno Sammartino.

    I said "Bruno, you know Triple H. How old is he?"

    Bruno looked at me and said "just between you and me, Triple H is 125 years old."

    You ain't never met no Bruno Sammartino.

  2. Actually, seating here eat my Reese's Freezee, Reigns is really their next Cena as in it feels like they are trying to recapture the Let's Go Cena/Cena Sucks with Reigns. Only it's kinda weird in that Reigns isn't as good as Cena in 2005/2006 and I don't think he's going to get any better until they start putting him with bad guys of this day and age.

    Vince ain't stupid. The fact that people are showing up to boo Reigns only helps his mindset.

    1) Cena started out as a "cool heel" when he was doing the rapper thing. I was 15 in the summer of 2003, and you better believe I bought my ass one of those WW logo "Word Life" shirts. Reigns is different. The Shield hid his shortcomings. I know this is a tired talking point on all corners of the internet by now, but at least Diesel had an IC run under his belt before they cut him loose

    2) Please tell me more about this Reese's Freezee.

    1) I was referring to how the vocal part of the crowd would rather boo the guy the E has anointed over spend money on the guy the vocal part of the crowd want to succeed.

    2) Reese's Freezee = 16 oz of vanilla and peanut butter ice cream swirled together with chunky peanut butter, chocolate chips and frozen chunks of Reese's.

  4. Apparently for ebbie, a Bellas match needs to descend to rarely-reached Trish/Bradshaw vs. Gayda/Nowinski level before it's worthy of criticism.

    Yeah, I just don't see what's so fucking terrible about the Bellas.

    Brie keeps things simple so shit doesn't get fucked up and has intensity in her matches. She bumps pretty good and doesn't spam out her moveset. If she's in there with greener than fresh shit divas, she doesn't have to worry about botches and shit because she isn't going to try to break their necks doing shit they can't do. She doesn't have much charisma, but if she was a dude, she'd be a good mid card jobber who gets the occasional win.

    Nikki is trying to hard to get the heel heat in her matches, but it's better than just going from spot to spot to spot like most of the divas, especially AJ, do. But Nikki will knock someone the fuck out and can be quite hurty when she wants to. Her matches may not have a lot of flow and she's totally a spot monkey.

    I know they are former models and are fucking top stars, but they do deserve credit for the shit they do. Brie does suicide dives better than Dean: where's her fucking cookie at?

  5. I guess I don't see what's wrong with that divas match. It wasn't memorable and AJ still wrestles like she rather be doing something else, but did like the end with both Bellas dropping Paige and AJ back to back. Tho why is Hossy Bella bumping around for little AJ? The parts of the match that got a good reaction was when Nikki was in control and AJ found a way to weasel out of the move. It can't be that hard to book, can it?

  6. I know they say whoever tells the story decides what it is, which is why it is called his-tory. But the narrative of "he was WCW biggest star but he ain't no HHH!!!" as the reason Sting vs HHH is the biggest piece of revisionism I've seen on a wrestling show in ages.

  7. Really enjoyed Naomi vs. Nikki Bella this week. Nicely-timed cheapshot by Brie leads into a segment of leg work by Nikki. Naomi sells it and makes the one-legged comeback en route to a flash pin upset.

    I loved the opening minute. Naomi tries to take Nikki down via traditional wrestling shit so Nikki just throws her into a corner and clotheslines the shit out of her.
