A 77 year old liquor store owner was shot in the eye during a robbery. He says that CM Punk losing the strap is worse than that. r
See what you and your stupid elbow mean to people, Dwayne? Go back to Hollywood where you can buy more arm butter and practice your peck-pop.
If Scott dresses me down for openly speaking against The Rock then I'll be forced to tell the Federal Government about the drugs he forces his writers to take. Fuj is actually Zahorian's son.

At least you put me over Caliber, Ill give you that. I have no clue what you are talking about half the time, but you put me over.
ReplyDeleteHere, here!!
ReplyDeleteConfusing post but i'll comment anyways. Rock is definitely going back to hollywood after wrestlemania but I would have no problem if he ditched his acting career to bring pro wrestling back into another boom period by returning to the wwe full time. Rock vs Austin at wrestlemania 30 is a show I would have to think about buying a ticket to and seeing live much less ordering the ppv.
ReplyDeleteI was never prescribed anything. I found those in a brown paper lunch bag on my porch. The guy who delivered them had a Canadian accent but I didn't think much of it.
ReplyDeleteWay to pull a Nash there, taking heat and transferring to yourself(badly) for no reason what so ever.
ReplyDeleteHE'S HARDCORE! HE'S HARDCORE!
ReplyDeleteA single wrestler does not a boom period make, Austin notwithstanding.
ReplyDelete1984 Hulk Hogan says hi.
ReplyDeleteWeird that a 77 year old would be a Punk fan. It's like Abe Simpson and Jimbo Jones or Otto the Bus Driver becoming best pals.
ReplyDeleteIt was Chad Kroeger.
ReplyDeleteSo you DO understand him half of the time?
ReplyDeleteGot me beat.
Sort of....but not really. The WWF was headed for the "Attitude Era" in terms of style and tone with or without Austin, and it probably would've seen an upturn regardless of who was feuded with Vince. The stratosphere they reached? Yeah, that doesn't happen without Austin. And they don't stay there in 1999 and 2000 when Austin was hurt without Rock.
ReplyDeleteAnd, as Flair said, Hogan in '84.
Wrestling is much like the NBA in this regard: they're both superstar driven businesses, as they should be. (And others: senile, megalomaniacal boss, questionable officiating, superstar from Chicago falling short to superstar from Miami.....alright, now I just made myself sad, I'm stoopping now) It takes organizational strength from the top down to succeed, without a doubt. But without THE guy? Shit ain't happening.
The overall strength of the WWE's creative direction and overall business plans in any given era doesn't mean shit unless you have a Hogan, Austin, Rock or Cena to drive the bottom line. (Or even, to a lesser extent, a Savage, Hart, HHH, Punk, etc. In this analogy if those in the first group win you an NBA title, this group at least has you going deep in the playoffs.) Just like your overall roster strength, coaching staff, cap management, etc doesn't mean dick in the NBA doesn't mean dick unless you have a LeBron, Duncan, Shaq, MJ, etc.
Don't give them any ideas!
ReplyDeleteThat's....that's not a bad plot! Much better then Moe's dishrag or the end of the world cult episode a few weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteWhile we are on the subject we all saw the You Tube video of the fat kid going ballistic after The Rock beat Punk right, (ironically enough he was holding the attitude era replica belt that The Rock frequently wore,) What is it was fat, uneducated wrestling fans making fools of themselves on You Tube anyway?
ReplyDeleteAnd Hogan.
ReplyDeleteHaha, what do you mean you don't know what I'm talking about?
ReplyDeleteDr. Zahorian was the guy who was giving all the wrestlers drugs back in the 80's.
Arm butter is the grease that Rock seems to have all over his arms in everyone one of his movies lately, especially Fast 5. And the peck-pop is some BS from Journey 2 that I saw in a commercial.
How about Reverend Lovejoy actually being a porn star in his past life? Look at his last name! It's PERFECT!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat I really want is a Lisa/Millhouse/Nelson love triangle. They can do it as a season finale and do a mock Twilight with vote for "Team Millhouse" or "Team Nelson" over the summer.
ReplyDeleteNot sure about the love triangle idea but I'm all about more Milhouse. And his dad ("Can I borrow a feelinggggg...."). They keep on doing Simpson family-oriented episodes when they should be focused on the other Springfieldians more. I mean, how many more Bart episodes do we really need?!
ReplyDeleteWhy are people so upset about the People's Elbow beating Punk? I agree there should have been some more near-falls but that crowd was RABID after Vince restarted the match. So why not finish the match with the move that gets a guaranteed monster pop?
ReplyDeleteBesides, with the rematch coming, maybe Rock and Punk didn't want to waste all their big spots with the Rock Bottom and the GTS right away. And it's not like the People's Elbow hasn't beaten top dudes before. It's been used to pin HHH, Hogan, Big Show, Angle and others.
The sad part for non-Rock fans is that he keeps popping ratings and drawing record buys. Brandon Stroud must be throwing a literal temper tantrum right now.
ReplyDeleteSaw this story yesterday. That's one crazy, tough, old man.
ReplyDeleteI don't know but I was wondering after I saw that. Is that the image people think of when they think of Wrestling fans?
ReplyDeleteIt's pec....short for pectoral.
ReplyDeleteRead a book that has words on every page.
The worst part is that guy isn't even a kid. He has gray hair and a somewhat mature jawline. If I had to guess I'd put the under at 25 and he could be as old as 32-33. And while I'm hoping the woman taping it is his sister and he's still living at home, it's entirely possible that's his wife.
ReplyDeleteIt's why I don't tell people I watch wrestling as an adult. That is what they would think of me.
Nah.
ReplyDeleteThey think of toothless rednecks who watch on a crappy TV while yelling at their wives "Give me a beer, woman! Rasslin's on!"
Alex, I have no problem admitting that i watch wrestling. My passion is fitness so I am ripped to the bone, (not trying to brag just saying) which means that I can relate to the training that a lot of these guys do. If anyone asks me why I like pro wrestling I respond that I love sports, and love theater, (and I was an actor in my high school and college days) and wrestling sort of combines the two.
ReplyDeleteHey Fred, I've written over 300 articles. Published a book that's sold more than self-published books by Leonard Maltin and Roger Ebert. I have people who hound me almost daily for new material. Things I've created have gotten a soldier through an entire year in Iraq, helped people get out of abusive relationships, and a multitude of other things that matter.
ReplyDeleteSo, while I continue to do things like that, you continue being this obnoxious, snarky little punk, because honestly the world needs more of'em.
You're into body-building too? How long have you been at it?
ReplyDeleteI am not into body-building per say, although I incorporate a lot of bodybuilding principles into my workouts. I started working out and weight training on a regular basis in college back in 2000, (although I have to say it took until about 2004 before I really knew what I was doing.)
ReplyDeleteOh man, do I know what you're talking about.
ReplyDeleteI was a bit over-weight, not by much, but enough that I wanted to do something about it around 2004. Well, my friends were also the scene so I had my fair share of "knowledge". So, I start running 2 miles everyday, and working out. I'm taking tips from Arnold, so I'm doing all the shit he use to do, while taking in about 1500 calories a day. It was beyond ridiculous. I lost the weight, sure, but I barely put on any muscle and it's a wonder I didn't injure myself.
Anyway, after a few years I got lazy and stopped doing it. Then about 3 years ago I got serious, and really got into the culture. You ever heard of Mike Metzner and his training regimen known as High-Intensity Training, or Heavy-Duty? That's what I do. Fantastic stuff that really opened my eyes to all the bullshit you get from the Weider mags and places like bodybuilding.com.
Are you natural?
Depends on your definition of natural. I take stuff like post workout protein, creatine and some test boosters but nothing illegal. I was a bit overweight in college, (freshman 15,) and a friend of mine was a certified personal trainer so she got me started doing cardio. Once I took the weight off I got into weight training. These days I mix up the two although the emphasis is on the weights.
ReplyDeleteI meant like steroids, or HGH. I would love to try out some of the steroids, and then get into the HGH when I'm older, but I've always been a 'play it safe' kinda guy and would only do it under a DR's watch with blood work and such.
ReplyDeleteHow are the test-boosters working for you?
You ever take Kre-Alkalyn creatine? It's awesome stuff, much better than traditional monohydrate, I believe.
Yeah no steroids or HGH. Not out of any moral high ground mind you but the stuff if expensive and I wouldn't want to do it unless a doctor was monitoring it the entire way. The test boosters work ok though. Try A-HD by BMI labs. Never tried Kre-Alkalyn, I just put in some monohyrate and gluetmine in with my shake post workout.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm sure you've got a big dick too.
ReplyDeleteYou're "right" because you've sold books? Because people know who you are? Because you steal articles from Cracked? If you think popularity is related to talent, you're a bigger clown than I thought. Fiona Apple has sold less albums than Katy Perry. Waka Flocka Flame has sold more albums than Tech N9ne. Those are true things. I dare you to call Waka Flocka a better rapper than Tech.
Caliber, you slack-jacked, dim-witted, vocabulary deficient overgrown fratboy, populists have been arguing against intellectuals since the dawn of man, and the populists always lose because the only debate style they've mastered involves a sock.
Mr. Winfield, your inability to spell the word pec aside, you can call yourself a writer when you get a basic grasp of the english language and can transmit your thoughts in a matter more detailed than whatever dick joke passed through your head.
They really need to give Otto his due. He was the focus of an episode back in, what, Season 4 and then he's never even had a really strong B plot since.
ReplyDeleteWell, he was a key player in the med. Marijuana episode. But I get what you're saying, I just always got the feeling no one liked writing for him.
ReplyDeleteSweet Sassy Malassy, if you have done all those great things you wouldn't be worried about Comment Trolls.
ReplyDeleteI'm not worried about it, but Fred is always a prick, and people like that need to be put in their place. He's the kind of person who just flat out needs to be decked. People think they can just run their mouths without consequence these days and it's sickening.
