Nick Saban may kill the special teams coach and his kickers before the year is out.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see Aldo defending tonight.
ReplyDeleteHush, you.
ReplyDeleteI miss when the blog would pick a pay-per-view and watch it together on a Saturday night.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't be bothered to come up with a "Portuguese Man of War" Aldo Montoya joke?
ReplyDeletePlease Vogelsong, do SOMETHING right.
ReplyDeleteHe's gonna lose.
ReplyDeleteSaturday night PPVs were a lot of fun, but no one ever wanted to take the initiative to pick something.
ReplyDeleteI doubt it.
ReplyDelete1997 Badd Blood.
ReplyDeleteOr something else with a hell in the cell.
Meh, no.
ReplyDeleteWrestleMania 15.
ReplyDeleteI'll watch Badd Blood. 8:30 PM EST start?
ReplyDeleteI doubt that you'll ever drink clean water.
ReplyDeleteThis blog needs a better class of villain.
ReplyDeleteFuck that noise.
ReplyDeleteYeah okay.
ReplyDeleteUnforgiven 2006.
ReplyDeleteFor those interested: We are watching Badd Blood 1997 at 8:30 PM EST.
ReplyDeleteThat got decided quick.
ReplyDeleteBetter name for a hypothetical band: Glasgow Kiss, or Glasgow Smile?
ReplyDeleteWe don't fuck around.
ReplyDeleteYou should check out twitter.com/_new_band_name_
ReplyDeleteWe picked Badd Blood 1997.
ReplyDeleteGlassgow Handjob.
ReplyDeleteSo my friends started a band I was suggesting band names, and my favorite was "The Dolcet Tones of Morgan Freeman" because I'm always trying to be as ridiculous as possible.
So, did anyone else watch Constantine? I desperately feel like talking about it with someone.
ReplyDeleteHey Stranger, can you add to the blog entry that we're watching Badd Blood 1997 tonight at 8:30 PM?
ReplyDeleteWell I'm gonna go watch The Sopranos.
ReplyDeleteI'm killing 1/2 hour by watching "This Week in WWE."
ReplyDeleteIt's been since, like, Summerslam since I've made it through even the Hulu edition of Raw, and I'm just curious how many weeks Cena/Ambrose v. Authority was the main event this month?
ReplyDeleteAnd is Brock/Orton happening for Survivor Series?
Aldo/Mendes is tonight?
ReplyDeleteWell knock yourself out.
ReplyDeleteSpoiler alert: the ending sucks.
YO YO YO YO POP A 40 AND CHECK YOUR ROLLIE
ReplyDeleteI haven't caught it yet, but not a good sign that it premiered to lower ratings than short-lived Dracula.
ReplyDeleteDebuting on Friday night against the World Series (Dracula didn't have the Series last year) didn't help anything.
ReplyDeleteHopefully word of mouth that the show was pretty good (and I thought it was) can help matters.
Is it a recap show of the week?
ReplyDeleteProbably not. I think Brock isn't going to be on TV until the first week of December.
ReplyDeleteNo it doesn't.
ReplyDeleteI think the Bruins goal horn is a Top 10 Most Annoying Sounds in Sports.
ReplyDeleteThe anti-Brass Bonanza?
ReplyDeleteYeah. My Apple TV decided to shut off in the middle of it so now I'm just watching the Pillman doc for a bit.
ReplyDeleteYes it does.
ReplyDeleteIt's not the size of your braces, it's the motion of your dennal plan
ReplyDeleteYes it does. I can't believe I invested so much emotionally into The Sopranos and it turned out it was inside a kid's snow globe the whole time.
ReplyDelete"Lisa needs braces....Dental plan!"
ReplyDeleteI'm so out of the MMA loop. Had no idea Aldo/Mendes was tonight. Quite the shit card after looking at it.
ReplyDeleteADIOS PLAN DENTAL
ReplyDeleteOutside of the Hell in the Cell main event, Badd Blood looks like a pretty so-so card.
ReplyDeleteAh, so that's how the request came in.
ReplyDeleteSettled on my team name in my family's fantasy basketball league (since I don't like changing my team name as defending champion, my BoD team is still Jeanie Buss's Playboy Shoot):
ReplyDeleteDon't Kawhi For Me Argentina
(with a profile pic of Sugar K and Manu)
I think there's a midget match.
ReplyDeleteBret/Bulldog v. Patriot/Vader is pretty good too probably.
And what's the DEEEEAL with the second "d"?
ReplyDeleteWait, is the midget match supposed to make it better?
ReplyDeleteIt turned out to be much worse than so-so too. Bret was in a flag match against Vader and The Patriot. Just do Bret/Vader dammit!
ReplyDeleteminis. you know the mexican dudes.
ReplyDeleteI'd say we had a pretty productive day today with that 5 star match thread.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know, I looked at the card on Wikipedia. The minis never really appealed to me that much, outside of the fact that it usually meant a Sunny appearance.
ReplyDeleteSo my friend and her friends are currently in the midst of a 24-hour gaming marathon for charity; watching them buttfumble through GoldenEye with a pre-dual-analog-stick set-up was hilarious. They wound up giving up traditional play for Slappers Only/License to Kill [one hit kills], which was hugely entertaining in any case.
ReplyDeleteGerald McCoy gets $52 million guaranteed. What the hell is wrong with the NFL?
ReplyDeleteCopyright.
ReplyDeleteI know that Constantine is the name of the villain in the new Muppet film, if that counts.
ReplyDeleteOne of my minions is doing that, too.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lot of fun actually.
ReplyDeleteFor SHAME! John Constantine is an iconic comic book character!
ReplyDeleteGoldeneye is still fantastic.
ReplyDeleteIs it on twitch?
ReplyDeleteCustom match types are the best. Proximity Mines is my preferred for-the-lulz multiplayer option.
ReplyDeleteOh sorry, never really followed comics growing up.
ReplyDeleteWhat was it conflicting with? Never heard of this, I always assumed they were just being extreme, like putting Z at the end of "Hardy" and "Dudley"
ReplyDeleteWhat's the name? Maybe I'll check it out.
ReplyDeleteAdding the extra D gives them something "original" they could own, which is also why they added the extra z
ReplyDeleteAh, I see now.
ReplyDeleteHere's Baddddddddddddddd Blood!
ReplyDeleteClassic "in over 100 countries..." opening to overcompensate for how badly they were being beating in the TV ratings on Monday nights.
I suck at Goldeneye.
ReplyDeleteRight, "Bad Blood" is ambiguous and thus anyone else could promote Bad Blood, but "Badd Blood" is a WWF trademark! And as we all know, the World Wrestling Federation never loses a trademark!
ReplyDeleteYes. Minis and Sunny. Sunny had a thing for short guys.
ReplyDeleteThis company.
ReplyDeleteI still pretty good in MP, but the single player is hard and cheap as a back-alley male escort. Not that I would know, I'm just assuming.
ReplyDeleteThe movie and the game were awesome.
ReplyDeleteZING! Poor Candido...
ReplyDelete"What's true is that in 48 hours, you and I will have more money than God."
ReplyDeleteHey @WWF1987, we're SOME POSTERS!!
ReplyDeleteWTF is JR talking about, a show in front of 50,000 fans in Kawasaki stadium seven days before Badddd Blood?
ReplyDeleteI think you're confused, The Sopranos ended with Newhart waking up.
ReplyDeleteSo it's a big Extra Life event?
ReplyDeleteThat's actually correct, because some means 2.
ReplyDeleteAlan Cumming's death is still my favorite in movie history, and don't forget Xenya Onatopp.
ReplyDeleteI loved the old Attitude era signs in the crowd.
ReplyDeleteHanidcapped match, LOD v. Rock/D-Lo Brown/Kama Mustafa opens the show. Shamrock was supposed to be on the face side but he was "spitting up blood" due to internal injuries in the back. This was chapter 219 in the 1000 chapter LOD/Shamrock/Johnson v. Nation feud.
ReplyDeleteGlad the logo can finally be unblurred as well.
ReplyDeleteShe always did enjoy a good squeeze
ReplyDeleteShamrock and his internal bleeding...
ReplyDeleteI love watching old events without feeling like I have glaucoma
ReplyDeleteI like the distinct look of the show/arena for Badd Blood. Survivor Series is in the same arena this year and it won't look any different than Night of Champions/Battleground/Extreme Rules/every ppv that wasn't WrestleMania in the last two years.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Shamrock and Rock ever had a decisive singles match. Every match they had was a crap ending.
ReplyDelete"Jesus Christ T, I can't believe 'Stugotts' was a reference to his boat the whole time!"
ReplyDeleteThis was actually legitimate internal bleeding. Maybe that's why he liked faking it so much. He was the "World's most dangerous man" up until that point; the only thing that could sideline him was INTERNAL BLEEDING.
ReplyDeleteMight want to tell your friend to change the character they use for future events, never trust that one Final Fantasy character.
ReplyDeleteI looked it up, it was a FMW card.
ReplyDeleteBUT MOOGLES ARE SO CUTE
ReplyDeleteKing of the Ring 1998. Shamrock wins via tapout.
ReplyDeleteWWE's probably thinking: "Oh look about 10 people are watching Badd Blood to get ready for tomorrow's event!"
ReplyDeleteThey seemed to push Shamrock to the moon for awhile, then they stopped.
ReplyDeleteYou want to talk about altering history, all that censoring is how you alter it.
ReplyDeleteTotally slipped my mind.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid, I thought Shamrock's title of the Most Dangerous Man in the World was legit.
ReplyDeleteKids are dumb.
And then Rock pinned Shamrock to advance in the WWF title tourney at Survivor Series 98, but that had a nightstick shot so it wasn't super-clean.
ReplyDeleteHe kind of was at the time.
ReplyDeleteBut from what I've seen in KH, they can also be huge A-holes. Kind of like Hornswoggle.
ReplyDeleteUntil Internal bleeding got the best of him.
ReplyDeleteI thought Shamrock's semifinal match with Jarrett was better.
ReplyDeleteThe blurring of the WWF logo is altering history?
ReplyDeleteIt would never occur to them to program the network that way though.
ReplyDeleteD-Lo Brown could have been somebody if he didn't break Droz's neck.
ReplyDeleteI think they left money on the table by not doing a Ken/Ryan smooching angle.
ReplyDeleteSlight history.
ReplyDeleteI really hope they get someone in the position eventually that is a fan, the way they have Joey Styles running the website.
ReplyDeleteI think we should've recognized that by now
ReplyDeleteI'm highly suspicious of this.
ReplyDelete*wobbly head shake*
ReplyDeleteComments like this are why I think you might secretly be Vince Russo.
ReplyDeleteI always thought Jarrett was something of an under-rated worker. He overexposed himself in TNA and towards the end of WCW, but he was a good mid-card hand to have back then.
ReplyDeleteWHAT DOES THE BROTHER LOOK LIKE, AN AARDVARK
ReplyDeleteI believe Satan is Vince.
ReplyDeleteWWE should go back to the In Your House moniker. Rename then: "On Your Network" or something.
ReplyDeleteDX impersonating the Rock was fantastic.
ReplyDeleteTHE $9.99 SPECIAL
ReplyDeleteLow blow, kid. Good job.
ReplyDelete::bottom 5 handshake::
Wish I could like this more then once. I dug the subtitled PPVs.
ReplyDeleteHe wasn't going to be able to overtake Austin as a face, and wasn't in the cards as a main event heel, so he was stuck.
ReplyDeleteFunny that back in the day when the first two In Your House's were $9.99, I was so excited and it was revolutionary. Now WrestleMania is $9.99 and I'm like "meh."
ReplyDeleteYES!!!! More Jason Sensation!
ReplyDeleteEVERYTHING IS FINE
ReplyDeleteSome of their newer ppv names are THE WORST. Like Hell in the Cell, TLC, Battleground and Extreme Rules. I hate them all and I miss the classics.
ReplyDeleteBring back WrestleWar, Halloween Havoc, The Great American Bash and Superbrawl. Those sound like WRESTLING shows.
Fuck even Badd Blood sounds good.
I tried to be a tough guy, but I just couldn't grow my damn beard in!
ReplyDeleteWell put, stupid.
ReplyDeleteI know I'm late, but my nose got here fifteen minutes ago! Woooo!
ReplyDeleteThere's a pretty good chance I'm gonna watch a Packers/Saints blowout instead of a WWE pay-per-view I'VE ALREADY PAID FOR.
ReplyDeleteEvery name that has come out the PPV generator over the last 5-6 years has been awful. Bragging Rights was the one exception except for the fact that winning meant nothing. except for a stupid trophy.
ReplyDeleteThe names wouldn't make the shows better on their own though, the modern era Great American bashes were some of the steamiest turds in wrestling history.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're Liberace.
ReplyDeleteJoey Styles running the network would be fucking brillant.
ReplyDeleteHell they could get anyone on this board to do it and they'd do a better job.
Bragging Rights holds a special place for me. My first ever live PPV was 5th row at the Mellon in Pittsburgh for Bragging Rights 2009.
ReplyDeleteI would be fantastic at programming. I wonder how much the network guys are handcuffed by the WWE.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't really watching, NOD over LOD but any other time I've watched it it's felt like **1/2. They were doing a lot of false tag stuff that the crowd was SUPER INTO, proof that any crowd can get really into the basic tag team psychology. So why would they de-emphazie that in the current product?
ReplyDeleteMike Tyson Mysteries premieres Monday on Adult Swim. That has to be dumb enough to be enjoyable, right?
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of coffee....ALL THE WAY FROM BRAZIL
ReplyDeleteHe's killing it at WWE.com, he probably do some wonders with the NEtwork.
ReplyDeleteMINIS MATCH. Nova and Max Mini v. Tarantula and Mosaic.
ReplyDeleteAnd I know they promote the ppvs as uncut, but it would have been totally okay with me if they edited some of the Pillman commentary out of the show.
whatever happened to him?
ReplyDeleteHow about booking too?
ReplyDeleteThe Usos?
ReplyDeleteWho knows if he can book? But he can sure as shit run a website, Let him play to his strengths.
ReplyDeleteToo bad they won't let him commentate.
Since all the good light heavyweights were taken by WCW, I don't know why Vince didn't take a serious run at trying to create a minis title instead.
ReplyDeleteAnd.........?
ReplyDeleteHe tried bringing back the minis on Smackdown back in 2008 or around there, too. The guy loves his little people.
ReplyDeleteHe's still doing indy stuff last I checked; his YT channel has a bunch of impressions, his Stone Cold is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThe Shield 6-man tags? The Rhodes Brothers? They do a lot of basic tag team wrestling
ReplyDeleteDid Badddd Blood have Tito Santana on the Spanish commentary team? I think so!
ReplyDeleteExplains Hornswoggle having a job for almost a decade now.
ReplyDeleteSaw today Game Change, it's 7/10.
ReplyDelete...I'd watch if it was Murder She Wrote but with Tyson as Lansbury
ReplyDeleteNow stay away from Draft Day.
ReplyDeleteThat would be fucking brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI just wanna pop in Any Given Sunday after the Series now.
ReplyDeleteMY NAME IS WILLIE
WILLIE BEEEEAMEN
College football is so useless. Every game is like 65-52.
ReplyDeleteGame Change is political film.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to look into this. Thanks for the heads up.
ReplyDeleteThe book is amazing
ReplyDeleteTCU hung 80+ today. I couldn't even score 80 in NFL Blitz.
ReplyDeleteMy non-BoD alter ego has created a blog all about nostalgia in events, music, films, TV, commercials, toys, breakfast cereal,......just stuff from when we were all young.
ReplyDeletememoriesat88mph.blogspot.com.
I just created this today, and the design is not ready to go yet, but I have made a few posts. So check it out. I plan on adding Disqus as a commenting system, but still feel free to leave your mark. Let me know what you think. There's more to come.
Catching up on Gotham, makes me feel that Gotham City would have been in a better place had Bruce Wayne spent more of his parents' money on rehabilitating the City instead of using it to turn himself into a psychopath in a 6-foot bat costume.
ReplyDeleteIs it that bad? I loved Costner in For Love of the Game.
ReplyDeleteWasn't bad. And as disappointed as I am in Obama, still prefer 8 years of nothing to whatever the fuck McCain and Palin would have cooked up
ReplyDeleteHe's good, movie's not so much. It defies football logic so much it broke my brain...even though he IS a Browns GM, so maybe it kinda makes sense...
ReplyDeleteI loved the book, read through it pretty quick.
ReplyDeleteNooooooooo, my gf wants to go out and I'm watching the Series.
ReplyDeleteIn anything a Browns GM did made sense, that wouldn't make sense. I live close enough to Cleveland that we get the constant bitching down here.
ReplyDeleteI bookmarked it.
ReplyDeleteHe could have at least done something about the lousy cloud cover.
ReplyDeleteMax pins Tarantula, *1/2ish.
ReplyDeleteMcCain/Palin winning would have turned this country into a fucking jungle, as I'm not convinced the GOP wouldn't have had McCain killed to put Palin in the Oval Office.
ReplyDeleteSunny introduces the tag titles, The Godwinns (with "Uncle Cletus" Tony Anthony, one of the last favors Vince did Cornette after SMW closed) v. The Headbangers.
ReplyDeleteMy g/f works tonight, so I'm free to consume as much sports as I wish to. You have my condolences.
ReplyDeleteI love that he wanted Lieberman
ReplyDeleteI also bookmarked.
ReplyDeleteMy girlfriend got us some dinner and is catching up on Gotham with me. She also was intrigued by Constantine and already loves Arrow and Flash.
ReplyDeleteI love this girl so much.
Another self serving asshole. So glad he retired, hilarious he lost his party at the end and had to run independent the last time
ReplyDeleteKC running wild. THAT'S WHAT SPEED DO
ReplyDeleteDefine young here, Stranger? I'm 29, so I'm curious what the age range is.
ReplyDeleteI didn't knew it was a book.
ReplyDeleteHow?
ReplyDeleteThe girl I'm seeing right now loves that kind of stuff so she's cool on that front. Not so much with sports though.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's mostly going to cover the 70's through the early 90's.
ReplyDeleteDid you know Phineas Godwinn is now like a renowned sushi chef? I saw it on Cracked.com (and I'm not the kind of guy to steal from Cracked.com without giving them proper due).
ReplyDeleteEh, why would someone from another country necessarily be up on US political books?
ReplyDeleteBe a a and tell her no.
ReplyDeleteWhere you at on Gotham?
ReplyDeleteA McCain/Lieberman ticket would have been another joke. You've got the GOP war vet that the GOP hates and the Dem standard bearer who frustrated and annoyed the Dems.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Blue calling him a self-serving asshole. Also, the physical inspiration for Droopy Dog.
I'll give it a read, even if most of the references will go over my head.
ReplyDelete
