Batista wrestling TV and house shows? lolwut
ReplyDeletePlease Wolves go to TNA where you will be used properly.
ReplyDeleteNo real desire to watch the taped Raw tonight, although I may join in on the live thread for shits and giggles if my other plans fall through.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe the Batista news, though. What does he gain from a full-time comeback at this stage of the game?
Said no one seriously ever?
ReplyDelete12 months ago... 6 months ago... I might have agreed. Now? No chance in hell.
ReplyDeleteAnother big paycheck? Him coming back for less than BROCK! is getting (overall deal, not per-appearance) would surprise me.
ReplyDeleteAs long as it's somewhere that's not ROH I don't care where the hell Davey Richards goes.
ReplyDeleteWhat does he have to gain? Straight cash, homie, that's what.
ReplyDeleteA full time run after 4 years off at his age? I can't imagine that would last long. It also increases the risk of injury which could affect his acting schedule (the Guardians of the Galaxy movie should give him a springboard to SOME more roles, if anything).
ReplyDeleteI just can't imagine why he would agree to doing house shows, and not just TV.
He defeats TV by DQ when house show runs in.
ReplyDeleteBook it!
Dixie's new enforcers, perhaps? They're sure likely to get shot up the card faster.
ReplyDeleteCash. Plus it might help him cross promote some of his movie stuff.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that does seem kind of odd. Maybe he's bored...
ReplyDeleteTV and PPV appearances, sure. Not house shows, though. That sounds like the trade-off he made that he's going to wind up regretting for more of that cash.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with that. I would love to see Edwards return, though, but I can also see him being the more desired of the two of them by everyone.
ReplyDeleteI can't see the WWE signing Davey with how prone he is to say stupid stuff and his attitude. My guess is they want Edwards.
ReplyDeleteOf course TNA is interested in both guys. They'll likely offer them the same money they were making in ROH with the bonus of being on TV. It would be a terrible deal all around.
I can't imagine him working house shows full time tho. My assumption was he would just be working then to get the ring rust off but i could be wrong
ReplyDeleteHe's there to make money, not to kiss babies and hug fat girls.
ReplyDeleteTNA and "used properly" in the same sentence? lol
ReplyDeleteMaybe he just loves wrestling and misses it.
ReplyDeleteI'm more curious as to whether or not Batista has bulked back up. He was pretty lean when he was training for MMA, and while he was pretty muscular for filming as Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy, he still seemed smaller than he initially was. Regardless, it should be interesting to see how he fits in to a more corporate-minded, PG product than when he left. I could see them giving him a kind of Rock leeway to push the envelope beyond PG a tiny bit.
ReplyDeleteYou need to watch RAW tonight. How else are you going to know if Christmas is cancelled or not?
ReplyDeleteI assume by the crappy Secret Santa gift I got over the weekend that Christmas was, indeed, cancelled this year.
ReplyDeleteGlad to know I wasn't the only one!
ReplyDeleteAnother Update:
ReplyDeleteJeff Jarrett has resigned from TNA
http://www.f4wonline.com/more/more-top-stories/100-tna/34569-jarrett-announces-hes-leaving-tna
Mike Johnson reported that someone who had just seen him said he looked absolutely ripped
ReplyDeleteHe is here to make money, he is here to win championships
ReplyDeleteWM 30 appearance baby!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo what you are most interested in is looking at his body? LOLOMGURAFAG /internet
ReplyDeleteI am rooting for cancelation so I don't have to go to Mama Parallax1978's house on Wednesday
ReplyDeleteYou know why that that happened... you don't need us to tell you (anymore)
ReplyDeleteI am not buying the Batista stuff until I see him on TV
ReplyDeleteHe bought a ticket?
ReplyDeleteThey probably wouldn't even let him do that
ReplyDeleteId mark out if I saw him hit a diva over the head with a guitar at 30. Slap nuts!!
ReplyDeleteHe got a job as a parking attendant?
ReplyDeleteHe ends the streak or GTFO
ReplyDeleteHe is Vince's guy against HHH?
ReplyDeleteLMAO
ReplyDeleteGoes over bryan
ReplyDeleteAnd by Vince, I mean Russo, not McMahon
ReplyDeleteI guess we know who is main eventing against John Cena now.
ReplyDeleteThat goes on right after sting/taker
ReplyDeleteYankee Swaps are the worst but every year, I somehow manage to get the last selection so it works out for me, anyway.
ReplyDeleteAre you calling Vince McMahon a fag? I'm not saying BB is Vinnie Mac, but that IS Vince's "Do I push this guy or not?" test.
ReplyDeleteSomething about Bully's ass...?
ReplyDeleteThese days, it'd be more like Batista would be distracted by house show's music and he gets rolled up by TV for the fluke pin.
ReplyDeleteYea, we are going to need to know what the gift is now.
ReplyDelete(Roughly 250 posts to go before the end of the year to meet 'llax's 1500 posts challenge)
ReplyDeleteThis Batista thing's really happening, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI've needed more Hollywood Dave in my life! He'll make these shows watchable again!
Final nail in TNA's coffin?
ReplyDeleteIt was one of those crystal balls that when you touch it, the lightning reaches out to where your fingers are (what the fuck are those things called, anyway? I'm not sure I ever actually knew, and I already threw out the box for the thing).
ReplyDeleteYou know, because I'm apparently a 20-year-old stoner... I had to go through the night pretending I really liked the thing. I was talking to the girl who bought me the gift later on and she tells me, "It was either that or a Superman jersey (I'm a huge Superman fan), and I thought this was better."
I'm allowed to fire people over something like that, right? Can someone consult an employment lawyer?
When it comes to the possible return of the Bro-tista gimmick? All bets are off.
ReplyDeleteCan't have TV look bad.
ReplyDeleteBatista rolls up house show when Then...Now....Forever.... randomly pops up on the tron.
Now I'm going to go out later and hug a fat girl.
ReplyDeleteHe can sing "With My Baby Tonight" as he leaves the building.
ReplyDeleteWWE.com Article on "Top Ten Shocking Tag Breakups
ReplyDeleteMarty and Shawn are number 1 right? Mainly because I can't remember any other breakups off the top of my head.
If she's cute, a blowjob should be the minimal apology required.
ReplyDelete(I Am Not A Lawyer, for the record.)
I really don't want to cross the Hudson to see my family on Wednesday. I'm getting guilt trips every day about going, though. I'd love a day to myself.
ReplyDeleteThey are not. Megapowers are number one.
ReplyDeleteChauvinist Jeff Jarrett was a main eventer in my book.
ReplyDeleteYea, wtf. If she knew you liked Superman and still went with the stoner gift...fireable offense
ReplyDeleteSteroids are a wonderful thing.
ReplyDeleteForgot all about them. I like to think I found that one shocking cause I was 8. As an adult, I probably would have seen that coming.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I don't think adult me would have seen Shawn kicking Marty in the face. Didn't think Shawn had it in him to be a heel.
Ain't nothing wrong with hugging fat girls in the winter time.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the Rockers turn was much more shocking, even though they were teasing it for a bit leading up to it. The MegaPowers breakup seemed like a foregone conclusion as soon as they started teaming up, despite only being 9 when Mach turned on Hogan.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely better than cute. I won't lie, I wouldn't turn it down...
ReplyDeleteI wish the fans of WWE would chant "We Want Groot" when Batista's in the ring...
ReplyDeleteThe list isn't actually numbered. I'm kind of surprised they didn't mention HBK turning on Hogan to lead up to SummerSlam. That superkick was shocking as hell. Sure, Hogan and HBK isn't a name team, but that was one good turn.
ReplyDeleteShit man, I'm skinny as hell, sometimes you have to do things that you wouldn't normally do to stay warm...
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, we should all go out and hug a fat girl, because most chubby chicks fuck like champs. Straight up porno style and shit.
Wolves - Bad Influence.
ReplyDeleteHERE
WE
GO
I got a TV stolen from me last year... ended up with a radio.
ReplyDeleteMan, Wolves vs. Punk/Bryan or The Shield--I'd point my eyeballs at that.
ReplyDeleteWould they even have one from the last ten years make this list? Tag teams would get formed and broken up within the span of a few months so often and it would never do either guy any good. (See: The Hart Dynasty, Cryme Tyme)
ReplyDeleteThose PWG shows this weekend were off-the-charts. Best atmosphere in wrestling today.
ReplyDeleteYou would be correct sir. Off the top of my head the last breakup would be The Hardy Boyz. Matt turned on Jeff right?
ReplyDeleteLook at Tons of Funk. They broke up on Raw and had the blowoff on the following Smackdown
I never saw that one. Off to youtube I go
ReplyDeleteI like how you think. I was with a fat girl once but it was the summertime. Just so much sweat. I have no complaints, but there was just a whole bunch of sweat all over. What I'm trying to say is having sex with a big girl is very tiring.
ReplyDeleteIsn't he pushing 50?
ReplyDeleteORTON IS THE FACE OF THE DALLAS COWBOYS!
ReplyDeleteHe'll be 44 next month, according to Wikipedia.
ReplyDeleteThe Apex Predator will be throwing passes to Dez Bryant and shitting into the bags of the cheerleaders that reject his advance
ReplyDeleteDammit, I wanted to see Romo destroy the Cowboys season.
ReplyDelete*pours one out for the inability to celebrate a Cowboys meltdown*
ReplyDeleteHe already has, Curtis. He already has.
ReplyDeleteThey could just pipe it in.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Miz and Morrison.
ReplyDeleteI'd much rather they chant: "Groot, There It Is"
ReplyDeleteVince vs Jeff?
ReplyDeleteMega Powers?
ReplyDelete"Resigned" is one of my nost hated words for it's ambiguity. Did he leave the company, or did he sign up with them again?
ReplyDeleteThat made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteWatch this, Kyle Orton will throw for four TDs and lead the Cowboys the victory and the division title, leading to a whole offseason of a QB controversy in Dallas.
ReplyDeleteOn Batista coming back, where's the proof?
ReplyDeletePhilly win
ReplyDeleteChicago win
Saints loss
49ers win tonight
Arizona win next Sunday (OR, if 49ers lose tonight, SF/ARI tie next week)
Cowboys, Packers, Saints miss playoffs. The first two would bring me great cheer no matter when they happen. The last... well, New Orleans has BLOWN their way out of the NFC South title... why not the playoffs in whole?
Worst case: Saints at Cowboys, Wild Card Round. After the Saints lose to Tampa Bay... and watch San Francisco beat Arizona anyway.
Re-signed should be used for a guy staying... Resigned means "fancy way of quitting".
ReplyDeleteAs a 49ers fan both scenarios bring me great joy, however I need NO in the playoffs. They're the only team that will keep us away from Seattle.
ReplyDeleteThe only "elite" team who's season is over in Week 10.
ReplyDeleteI feel dumb for believing Morrison would be the bigger star.
ReplyDeleteJust like vs Washington on Sunday?
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though. I kind of came to the conclusion the other day that Heeltista would of saved these shows.
ReplyDeleteTo the Downvoter:
ReplyDeleteNFC South Standings
WLTPFPANew Orleans50013473Carolina1307458Atlanta13094104Tampa Bay0404470
I thought he was already gone......
ReplyDeletePlasma Globe.
ReplyDeleteI'd love one of those then again, I'm 20 and I can be easily distracted.
Ooh, look at Mr. I'm-too-good-for-unsubstantiated-rumors!
ReplyDeleteSteelers gonna win it all.
ReplyDelete"Orton once again throwing to that place that no one can get to."
ReplyDeleteThe AFC has little interest or suspense. Other than the hope that Baltimore misses the playoffs, I really don't care how it plays out. Even if that gives New England the #1 seed and a Giant-free road to the Super Bowl.
ReplyDeleteMainly because I have faith New England's patchwork offense will implode at the right time.
I really didn't remember that one til someone said it.
ReplyDeletehahaha. I honestly have no recollection of that one. Didn't Morrison team with Joey Mercury also? Did they break up? If Jeopardy had a category on tag teams of the mid-aughts, I'd get every question wrong.
ReplyDeleteHaving sex in general is tiring.
ReplyDeleteMan, I need to quit smoking and start working on my cardio...
Well it's not like Miz is a huge star. If Morrison came back right now it wouldn't take long to surpass Miz.
ReplyDeleteYou shouldn't, he's far better on any metric of what anyone would consider a good wrestler. The fact that he's doing random indy shows while Miz is making 6 figures from WWE is actually pretty disgusting.
ReplyDeleteHis name ending up in advertisements for house shows seems like a weird mistake to make otherwise.
ReplyDeleteAnd the timing's right.
There's no proof of anything until it happens. I mean, there's no proof that Zack Ryder isn't going to get a massive push starting next month.
There's just things that do or don't look too likely.
I would actually have to say that Hogan/Orndorff was better.
ReplyDeleteYou win.
ReplyDeleteA "team" that was together all of...two weeks?
ReplyDeleteI actually want the Cardinals to win next week, which is a weird feeling, because I (and just about everyone else) normally give less than zero fucks about anything involving the Arizona Cardinals. I feel the same way about the Bengals, a guy I work with said he was a Bengals fan, and I was astonished by that statement. They actually have fans? I think of those teams as being like the LA Clippers or NJ Devils, teams that only exist because... well fuck, you gotta play somebody.
ReplyDeleteTell her Hi from me.
ReplyDeleteClever
ReplyDeleteThe older ones are the best. They're more desperate AND experienced, and usually grateful for a guy their son's age giving them one up the ass.
ReplyDelete:: Gets upset ::
ReplyDelete:: Insults you back ::
:: Somehow involves HHH and/or Benoit ::
ReplyDelete:: Vastly overrates self importance on internet wrestling blog ::
:: Somehow involves Blink 182 ::
Why are you comparing me to Caliber?
ReplyDeleteI'm not. Just acting out some of the usual steps that happen around here, as I thought you were. Bored now.
ReplyDeleteThe smart money says he's inked in for house shows because Big Dave's winning the title at WM30. When they had two belts, they could afford to give the Rock one and let the other headline house show lineups. With only one title, they need the champ to work the house show circuits.
