E.J.

I thought L.A.

Where did these Raiders come from?

Oakland scored their only points of the game really early.

It's like Vince with the old steroid policy - if he sees you with a needle in your ass, he then has probable cause to maybe do something. As noted on the Carolla podcast, back in the day they'd just say "Boy, Big Show sure got his bell rung!"

I try.

He's right there on the spine. So it's not like they forgot about him. Man, that's a lot of space to give a guy who bombed so hard as a main eventer. On the other hand, the WWE keeps employed a tattooed little skinny-fat guy with a terrible Macho Man elbow who was the worst bomb as WWE Champion since Diesel, so truly we can see that this company is supportive even of its failures. Orton doesn't do an elbow drop.

"....So then I told Steiner that I shit my pants"

So this is all one well-planned build for Cena's Wrestlemania 31 opponent, right?

Matthew McConaughey as Christian? Never really made it passed upper midcard, had some enjoyable runs, and now as he gets older is trying to win the "big one"?

I think the real question is how do Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito fit into this story?

Man you guys are giving me chills with this SOA/Walking Dead talk. It'd be the worst "best" show on TV. Granted, I wouldn't mind Clay and Merle as the top heel tag-team in Georgia causing all kinds of ruckus for Rick.

Especially since it isn't remotely true.

Someone needs to break down the quarterly, quarterly numbers.That way we know the exact moment when people switched over to Pawn Stars. Then we can debate over the fact that turnbuckle spots aren't over anymore, because ratings went down 45,000 viewers during that spot.

The first wrestler I ever liked not because he looked cool, or WWE told me to like him, but because he genuinely entertained me with his ring-work.

The vibe of that second article seems like Regal's gearing up to be J.R. to Triple H's Vince McMahon, hopefully without the years of public humiliations.

The "Why certain guys never got a run in TNA/WWE" thread had me looking up a couple of WWE dark matches from the late 90's and early 00's, and I came across Cena vs. Benjamin. Crazy how goofy Cena looked, and how much better Benjamin was than him.

Someone move Manti Teo to the Dolphins please.

Of course this'll lead to Vince telling Cesaro that he's winning the World Title on Raw next week, and then "ribbing" him by having him wait there all night, before telling him to fuck off.

Put Barrett and Cesaro in a tag-team, let them stiff the Hero's and Ryder's of the company ala the APA. Instant overness.

This is quite remarkable. The DVDVR's contrarianism has evolved to the point where the DVDVR is contradicting itself. I think this is how Skynet became self-aware.

I don't mind the logic behind Rick's decision. Dude killed his best friend, and had his wife die. It's been established he's been half-insane, and he's not in any position to be, so he's trying to get out of this funk he's been in as fast as possible. Anyone in that situation wouldn't be making the best decisions.

Could have at least photoshopped a beach or something instead of a moderately busy avenue somewhere.

Steelers sure have great coverage.

Big Ben no sells the sack.
