On the Spud Webb note, good grief. 5'5". He has to have well over a 40 inch vert to do that.

 

I went to high school with a dude shorter than me who could dunk.  He was a sophmore who unseated a 3-year starting senior at middle linebacker on the football team, and quit after the first game (the linebacker he replace went on to be all-district).  He was like 5'5" and maybe 190 lbs. but could out lift, out run, and out jump damn near everyone on the team.  We had a guard who went to the NFL, and little fucker could outlift him.  The crazy thing is that he wasn't even the most unlikely athletic freak on the team, we had a defensive lineman who was like 5'8" 275 and was faster than all but 2 running backs on the team.  We were really good that year (I say "we" very loosely, because I contributed next to nothing to contribute to that success) and it's the craziest collection of insane athletes I've ever been around.

You supplied...whatever it is what you had to supply back then, uh, sticktoitiveness!

A guy from my high school was like that, 5’6” - 5’7”, unassuming and kind of chubby, but his legs and core were insane.  He would just run you over with his power.  I always thought he would have made a great sumo wrestler.

Reportedly Vince has taken Interest in NXT. The change in direction booking wise for NXT is to be more sports entertainment.

Because that's going so well for Raw and Smackdown

And free airfare and accommodations and anything else necessary, dammit. Maybe convince Dan Marino to play one more game. For the Jaguars of course.

Don't make me quit watching Dynamite.

I am a big fan of that one thread he started.

[odessasteps]

Then why hasn't Tony hired Jimmy Golden yet?

Jimmy as Papa Hager would be tremendous.

With Cody buying up as many of Dusty's old ppv and gimmicks as he could. All I want to see is a bunkhouse match and a bullrope match.

[Cristobal]

Ok I have not been super-active on this board lately but did I miss the big reveal?

Cuz I need to go search people I've got in slapfights on here with and if it's clean then I can pitch Chris Daniels as the one to take the TNT title off of Cody.

Yeah he was really @RIPPA this whole time but don't bother him about it okay?

Yeah, someone dug far back and the thought is that he was "Coach Tony K" from fucking forever ago. Pre-Dutch hackers, or wherever the fuck they were from.

I'm willing to bet he probably also joined in making fun of Kurtie H for mistakenly calling Kurt Angle "Jurt Angle." And also for Kurtie being a Lakers fan.

[Craig H]

Also, seeing as how Mookieghana works for Tony Khan, he may as well also retain the services of DevinIntervention or hire Winnipagan for an events coordinator.

[RIPPA]

On the actual wrestling front - Asuka vs Charlotte for the title has officially been announced for RAW

[RIPPA]

This will mean nothing because the WWE won't do anything different and get away with it but the Orange County's Mayor is signing an executive order requiring masks to be worn in all public spaces.

Orange County is where the PC is

*reads Tony tweet*

*clicks on comments*

With a tear. In my eye!

The whole thread cracked me up. Talk about playing the hits.

There is something I find viscerally pleasing about Chono making his catchphrase "I am Chono", as if this one statement explained everything that one needed to know.
