THAT's exactly the one I was thinking of, but I blanked. Then I got stuck on either "Thir13en Ghosts" or "Hall8ween: Resurrection." Shitty trend ... shitty shitty trend.

Just got a Highspots emailer, alerting me that $5 Wrestling's new event is ready for order, and so help me, fuck you, to whoever started using numbers for letters (I blame "Thir13en Ghosts"), because "5EVER" now either looks like "sever" or "fever." Definitely not "five-ever," which is actually an entirely different reason altogether that I fear for the future of my daughter's education.

On the whole "test of strength handshake" issue a bit earlier - an opinion I kept trying to post but my phone is a piece of shit - I'm usually about as impressed when some dude tries to crush my hand in a handshake as I am some fucking fucker on a message board gloating about his post count. I actually have called a few gents - yes, even in professional settings, including, famously for me, a supervisor's supervisor - jackasses for that kind of impotence highlighting behavior. (Wow, that last bit sounded like word filtering, huh.)

And then the 1-2-3 Kid stole it from him. So I think it's a Minnesota virus now. I have to admit, that kinda brought back the dislike of Waltman again, after giving him a pass from 2011. Torn anus or not, you just don't steal a man's bread-and-butter gimmick.

Yes, because actual entertainment has no no place in wrestling, so fuck you Darin Corben.

I don't know what to do with this, so I'm putting it here: Somebody guide me toward which Halloween II* Blu version is probably the better to get. I guess I must be thinking VQ, because "Terror in the Aisles" is a huge sell point for me, but not if the image is no greater than this shit DVD Goodtimes release I own. *If you don't know that I mean the original one, please PM me your street address.

Well, no, wait a minute now. Maybe now that we've gotten to the feud with "Be a Star" Ryback, we can FINALLY get the conclusion of what Punk was going into in that first "shoot" promo in '11, when he mentioned the anti-bullying campaign but the mic was cut off. Now we FINALLY can know the truth!!

A slingshot-into-a-DVD? Until I can get to a YouTube, the mind will have to boggle.

Can I just say that, for everything that May wasn't, this month has been? Or was it June? Was June the monthly thread that went tits-up, four pages in?

Where's Evan Bourne?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ... oh holy, wow, that was some good shit there!......Okay, what I originally came her to post: Fell into a nap a few hours after work today, while I was watching a Kevin Steen comp, had the legit I-shit-you-not experience of waking up and thinking I was watching a Seth Rogen film.Which, now reading that, makes me ponder on the lesser of two evils: "Knocked Up" featuring romantic tension between Heigl and Steen, or Rogen embroiled in a blood feud w/ El Generico?(I'm gonna deserve this ban I got coming, I fear.)

I seem to recall something like this exchange mentioned being the basis for a Big Show sorta-turn; they were having him work face, but then he had this weird promo where he just flatly stated that he didn't really care for The Rock as a person, but then hey, he's still Show, he's still an alright guy. Yeah ... no, fans still booed him out his shoes, based on the simple fact he stated that he didn't like the Rock.

Worse than Walt killing Jesse. Everybody can laugh now, but this board has A LOT of threads and a lot of people in those threads talking about TV shows they're starting to get into; book series they're starting to read, and movies they're interested in seeing. Notes are being taken. Lives will be ruined. See you all in a couple of weeks. I would like to note that I consider myself exempt from these discussions of which you two speak, because my reflections on them are meant to be done in an ironic manner. I'm like a postmodern chair shot.

Because the board has a problem with us establishing health self-esteem; it doesn't want us to "like" ourselves. Some of you - *ahem* - would have unnecessarily inflated "board statuses." You know I'm right. One other thought occurred to me, as an extension of the HOSS/ possibility of Lesnar-Taker at Mania: I may be alone here, but I have thought, since his return, that Lesnar wouldn't be such a horrendous promo, if they were to allow him to swear. Taker comes out for the inevitable "who you got for 30;" he does the whole, "No one's left." BWOWOWOWOWOW ... dunh dunh, dunh, dunh dunh DUNH ... Lesnar out, circles Taker two or three times, then just flatly says, "Are you fucking blind?" Far better than any "do you feel that feeling you're feeling, 'cause I feel it too," mushmouth "heeba deeba mooba boobins" bullshit he was going for earlier this year.

And pig mask ... bump the sheep mask.

Im on the fence as to how "in on it" Freight Train is. Sometimes I watch it and feel sorry for him and think Jake and Colt are dicks for poking fun at him. Sometimes I watch it and think, Im being worked here, he's totally in on the joke. Then I cant decide if he's either the greatest actor or the worst wrestler. Cant believe Vader Junior has been released. Wonder if Big Poppa Vader will get a Tweet to attend Raw next week! They also released that weird looking Irish guy after like 1 month! I've worked with Freight Train before, and I always got the impression that he knew what was going on. He's just so happy to be there, it doesn't really matter to him. He loves wrestling, he's having a blast, and I never once got the feeling he thought he was being taken advantage of. Jake loves the guy, FWIW. He's with him at all times, and makes sure he's taken care of in the ring. Then, there's that part where, if he ended up on Raw tomorrow, we'd all be thinking, "You sold out! You sold out!" *J/k; I've always hated that retarded ass chant. "You can take better care of your family! For that you fucking suck!"

I feel like this is where I should start introducing my new wrestling meme: "CHIKARA'd!" It probably won't take off, but neither did "KHADAFI'd!" so I'm only as much a failure at meme-making as Daniel Tosh.0.

He wrestled a some matches with his old man there in Zero-1 and the Vader Time shows. I wasn't expecting much when I saw his FCW look: He looks like a hitchhiker that's about to rape you. He looks like a Miz cosplayer. Judas wept, doesn't he though?!??!

The route I'm going is getting someone to buy the material to my specifications. That way, I might be able to squirrel away enough to do something of my own. My last post is on the cusp, though, of inspiring me to kill all other responsibilities, for the sake of firing up the N64 and running a No Mercy CAW best of 7 between El Rejeccione and Stone Cold Steve Autism. The wrestling would probably be so-so (**1/2 at best), but the promos would be fucking a-m-a-z-i-n-g.

Hey guys (and some gals, maybe): Really could use some help and feedback. I've lately been tasked by a friend to make his son a lucha mask. His key instructions are: He wants it to be cool-looking, and he wants it to be original. Which means that pre-existing character masks are off-limits; explicitly he wants a novelty Halloween item for this year, but then for other mortality/morbid reasons, he wants something to hang onto for a conversation piece, memorial type thing (I've been a bit sick as of late, then a lot of people around me have tendencies to freak out to extremes). Jeez, all that to say this: what goes in to making a good mask? The best are either extremely well designed and ornate, or extremely spartan in design. I'm going with a Santo mask as a template, but then, what the hell? Tailor something toward the personality of the wearer, go with mythology, or ...? I've spent all weekend looking at color theory, as well as tiki mythology for inspiration. Shit's more difficult than you'd think, this "art" stuff. I could just make an Ultimo Dragon mask with some different pattern, but now, that half-assing shit won't do. Anyway, it's a thing I'd like some insights into, so anyone putting in their two cents, I'll be appreciative. I won't be all El Rejecione if this thing post collects dust here 'til October, either; I should do my own work ...

There's one with Riker face-palming as well. Just saying, coulda done a smidgen better ...

I just envisioned a new millennial Schoolhouse Rocks type of PSA-via-entertainment, and one stars special guest DMX, and it starts off: "GRAMMAR! YOU THINK IT'S A GAME? YOU THINK IT'S A FUCKIN GAME?!??! *RAWF RAWF RAWF*" I think that would go over well, in the era of social media.

FTFU

It's much less tacky than it could be. Oh, and the short answer is that everyone in wrestling is a mark with the sole exception of Kevin Nash, and even he can be bought with a well-cut sports jacket. Another thought: Glad she won on a date that doesn't fall under that mm/dd/yyyy vs. dd/mm/yyyy hoolabaloo.

Well, shit, apparently Frankenstein's Monster was a wrestler AND a mark, then.
