Obviously, the dirt bike realized there was a Charismatic Engima on it, and couldn't handle being charismatically engimated.
ReplyDeleteThose aren't words.
Well that point could have been in '03, '09, '11, or when he did that stupid stair spot last fall, but head shaking must commence.
ReplyDeleteI almost hope this shit with Bryan is part of some secret Big Summer Angle that they do every year. Of course, I also hope it's not, since they always fuck up the Big Summer Angle. Every year.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the stair spot? I don't watch TNA, but always love seeing Jeff Hardy antics. A link or at least a description would be appreciated. Thanks man
ReplyDeleteJones stripped of the belt and suspended indefinitely. Good riddance.
ReplyDeleteHe did a swanton from the top rope on to the stairs against Bobby Lashley. Lashley moved, and Jeff hit the stair, flat backed and all. It was nuts.
ReplyDeleteOne of the most dominate fighters in history, and, unfortunately, a total douchenozzle.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing at all going on in wrestling. It's kinda sad, actually.
ReplyDeleteI'm quite surprised he isn't dead or permanently crippled,tbh
ReplyDeleteBryan not booked until July, basically.
ReplyDeleteStill will keep saying he should've not come back.
At least we have Joe Gomez's historical video records to fall back on.
ReplyDeleteIf you just search for Jeff Hardy stairs it will come up. Basically, he was crotched on the cage door and the spot was the door being slammed into the cage causing him to fall all the way onto the ring steps, and getting legit knocked out cold. I'm pretty sure he ended up coming to and finishing the match.
ReplyDeleteI want to see how bad it can get. It's almost fun at this point.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Jeff will have fun painting his cast at least.
ReplyDeleteReebok dropped him as well.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad to say, but has anyone noticed the IC title missing on TV for the past couple of weeks?
ReplyDeleteWhat the fuck is going on at UFC?!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.tmz.com/2015/01/10/jeff-hardy-fall-video-impact-wrestling-cage/
ReplyDeleteHe's lucky he didn't paralyze himself back at RR 2000 or Mania 2000. RR he almost broke his back jumping off the balcony in the table match and then at Mania he almost compressed his spine over-rotating on his swanton onto Bubba off the 20' ladder. And that was 15 years ago.
ReplyDeleteTournament Time?
ReplyDeleteCormier vs. Johnson for the vacant title at 187.
ReplyDeleteNobody likes a hit and run case. If he had stopped? If it had just been an accident. All is forgiven. But running and potentially leaving someone to die?
ReplyDeleteHe fled the scene of an injured pregnant woman TWICE
ReplyDeleteAnd a pregnant woman on top of that.
ReplyDeleteWith the US title elevated with Cena, nope. But then when both are taken seriously, they're more or less the same thing anyway.
ReplyDeleteRan away, then back to grab cash, then away again.
ReplyDeleteI guess there is no one else to put in that spot but I don't see what Daniel Cormier has achieved at Light Heavyweight. He beat a coffee barista and completely washed up and done for Henderson.
ReplyDeleteIs it really Bayless' fault? It's not like exciting news in wrestling is coming in hot and heavy...
ReplyDeleteWatching Clash IX now and just heard Jim Ross say you could call the hotline (900-909-9900) to hear play by play of the show! Could you imagine paying to listen to a couple of guys call a wrestling match without being able to watch it??
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling you'll be grading a lot of matches with F in the future. You might even use a letter Z.
ReplyDeleteNoticed Rocky 4 is on, turn to it just as Drago kills Apollo. :(
ReplyDeleteIs anybody else looking forward to Barrett's inevitable new theme on Monday?
ReplyDeleteOne night tournament...see who the real fighter is.
ReplyDeleteAhh. I guess that makes the most sense, if not the more entertaining option.
ReplyDeleteThere's pressure on me from the other guys at work for having never seen a Rocky movie. I might give in.
ReplyDeleteOh, then spoiler alert: Apollo dies.
ReplyDeleteI still say that movie doesn't exist. If it did, it's be hilarious that Stallone could turn an entire nation to cheering him. That part's so absurd - that would get laughed off the script!
ReplyDeleteThe first one is legitimately great. 2 and 3 were good, then it drops right off a cliff.
ReplyDeleteThat's ok, if I watch them then I'll read the synopsis first.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what they said.
ReplyDeleteThe last one wasn't awful, just depressing.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's funny how hated the Dynamic Dudes were.
ReplyDeleteStop at Mr. T, and you're good to go from there.
ReplyDeleteWait until you get to Luger/Pillman.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of which, the way WCW booked Luger in 95 seems like the mirror version of him in 89 and it was brilliant because you knew he could pull it off.
Like Slaughter's heel turn, Luger's American Hero gimmick, or Sting coming to WWE, it was just something that happened 10 years too late.
ReplyDeleteHow I'd rate them:
ReplyDeleteRocky: ****
Rocky 2: ***1/2
Rocky 3: ***1/4
Rocky 4: ***1/4
Rocky 5: **1/2
Rocky Balboa: ***1/2
Just finished watching the King of the Ring from last night. That went exactly as I expected it to.
ReplyDeleteI hope the Sheamus-Ziggler match at Payback is contested under special "Who Can Distract Us This Time?" rules, where a new person cuts a promo on them both ever couple of minutes.
Nothing against Goldberg's music, but you have to be daft to vote it over Demolition.
ReplyDeleteThe respondants have directed me to two totally different insane spots onto the stairs in the last year - Lashley and the cage one. That's just so...Jeff Hardy
ReplyDeleteSly was always open to doing American propaganda films. Just look at Rambo III where he helps the noble Afghani desert warriors fight the evil commie Russians.
ReplyDeleteWe have always been at war with east asia.
Really? Giving 3 and 4 *** 1/2?
ReplyDeleteIf they made a fourth Rocky movie, it'd get ** from me, tops. And if they did in fact make it, they would incorporate James Brown, which would add an extra * to get it to **.
Was thinking about Barrett's KOTR win... do you think Vince saw Game of Thrones recently and thought it'd be cool to have a King with a British accent on the roster?
ReplyDeleteWell, a movie showing what actually happened would just be dull. Take that, Tom Hanks.
ReplyDeleteThe first one has my vote for best sports movie ever made. Two was a depressing retread, but one that tried to stay true to the characters. 3 traded realism for fun.
ReplyDeleteThat stair spot was one of the most dangerous bumps I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't anyone tell me that the Network uploaded Prime Time Wrestling episodes through the end of 1986?!?!? I know what I'm doing today.
ReplyDeleteI've never really thought of it as a sports movie, actually.
ReplyDeleteHe probably just saw Robin Hood with Kevin Costner for the first time
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of Tony Garea house show matches.
ReplyDeleteYeah. The entrance is what made Goldberg's music. It's not exactly about entrances its about the music itself.
ReplyDeleteThe finals of the KotR last night were awesome. How did Andy only give it **1/4?!
ReplyDeleteHe hasn't been charged with anything drug-related, but he also left a bag of weed and a pipe in the car. I think that would just be a misdemeanor charge, though.
ReplyDeleteHey Extant, the Network uploaded PTW through the end of '86! Check it out!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Seriously?! Wish I was home.
ReplyDeleteEach Rocky movie is a blessing from above, equal to or perhaps better than the one that preceded it. Except 5, that one can fuck off and die.
ReplyDeleteApollo would still be alive if you hadn't turned it on to see him die
ReplyDeleteWAY TO GO, BOBBY
Schrodinger's boxer?
ReplyDeleteHe'd be like, "Redstorm, why are you shaking your assface at me? I can't tell if you're disappointed or gettin' down"
ReplyDeleteIf you want a seriously depressing read, look up the boxer that played Tommy Gunn in 5. His life story is FUCKED UP.
ReplyDeleteThe tag team scene in late 80s NWA/WCW was incredible. This clash has Steiners, Midnights, Skyscrapers, Freebirds, Road Warriors, and Doom.
ReplyDeleteSo weird seeing my hometown in a Daily Update. That said, I'm glad to no longer be living in the poorest city in America.
ReplyDeleteTommy Morrison, and yes it is.
ReplyDeleteCuteville?
ReplyDeleteNo, ***1/4. HUGE difference.
ReplyDeleteESPN needs to do a 30 for 30 on him.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I did like about V was the somewhat realistic foreshadowing of modern athletes making million upon millions of dollars and going broke because they didn't know how to handle it. Rocky V was terrible but I always appreciated that thread reflecting real life.
ReplyDeleteIt's a gift and a curse. Even when I'm sad I can still get down.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet, I still find a way to quote Rocky V every now and then:
ReplyDelete"Hey! You knock him down, how about tryin' knockin me down?"
"Who's Twain?"
"He was a painter."
"He ain't got no class."
June 28th is my birthday
ReplyDeletePOTD
ReplyDeleteIt's ok, he ascends to Action Jackson heaven.
ReplyDeleteThanks, SD Jones! Or are you George Wells?
ReplyDeleteHey at least it's not Camden, or Chester
ReplyDeleteHey everybody, let's all go do something not involving TatR on... oh, how's about June 28th?
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! You get Daniel Bryan back to try and cripple himself!
ReplyDeleteAnd then starts an acting school.
ReplyDeleteThey haven't quite figured out that little "notify our paying customers of new content" thing.
ReplyDeleteIf there's some Killer Khan goodness, I'm in.
ReplyDeleteEvery time that he posts I will now read his name as Tater.
ReplyDeleteStill doesn't beat Rampage's police chase on his rims in his monster truck with HIS face painted on the side.
ReplyDeleteOh man, I hope he likes it because this is never going away.
ReplyDeleteFirst of the new episodes I noticed has action featuring Kamala, the British Bulldogs and many more! Plus, Mean Gene sitting in the studio with Gorilla and the Brain!
ReplyDeleteTatR!
ReplyDeleteYeah, which era of the Joe Gomez catalog should we start with?
ReplyDeleteBunch of jerks. I'm gonna go up in the rafters for a year and glare at you all. I'll change my name to TimeintheRafters.
ReplyDeleteTater!
ReplyDeleteHoly shit, no way.
ReplyDeleteBecause he has an overly long complicated name that I decided to shorten via initials, I've unintentionally branded TatR 4 Lyfe!!!!
ReplyDeleteI gotta go Carey Elwes in Robin Hood: Men in Tights. After all, unlike some other Robin Hoods, he can speak with an English accent.
ReplyDeleteWhen he has a kid, it's gonna be a TatR Tot
ReplyDeleteThose reverse sit-up... things Sly does in all these movies just look fucking impossible.
ReplyDeleteIt's Time! It's Time! It's not Tater Time!
ReplyDeleteKamala vs. Pat Paterson? What the ever loving fuck?
ReplyDeleteAssisted by Friday? When did they change it to Kimchee?
Oh great.
ReplyDeleteIt's Wednesday afternoon where he is, and TatR is already smashed
I think it's a problem that you aren't, Pez Whatley.
ReplyDeleteHey, that makes your kid a Tater Tot!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean, "you, black guy, Pez Whatley"?!
ReplyDeleteI ALREADY MADE THAT AWESOME JOKE
ReplyDeleteListen, Junkyard Dog, don't go trying to trip me up.
ReplyDeleteThat's nice, Iceman Parsons. Go back to coming up with new emails to send to Scott.
ReplyDeletePoor little unborn Shelton and Benjaman :(
ReplyDeleteThey really should've had the IC title as part of the King of the Ring tournament.
ReplyDelete*grabs Extant's cakes*
ReplyDeleteI actually think that would be a great angle for Cena, where he calls someone "the best black/Latino/etc. athlete in WWE" and gets beat down for it.
ReplyDeleteBaby, you've got a stew going!
ReplyDeleteThen we clap afterwards
ReplyDeleteOh, this has nothing to do with New Day, we'll just be glad he got what was coming to him
Oh this has nothing to do with anything coming to him because of saying a statement like that, we'll just be glad he got beat down in general
So it works on multiple levels!
ReplyDeleteIt's a problem for everyone that they aren't Pez Whatley. Except for, you know, Pez Whatley.
ReplyDeletehi why michael hayes bigger n***er than mark henry
ReplyDeleteNo, actually look how it turned out for me (Pez Whatley) to be Pez Whatley
ReplyDeleteFigures that his theme song would involve theft and food...
ReplyDeleteI've gotten all the way down to a -F before.
ReplyDelete#HOSSNOTAPPROVED
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty bummed that I missed out on this bobcat gag. :(
ReplyDeleteSo I went to the Yankees-Rays game last night. On the way to the Stadium, I got on the uptown 4 train, which was PACKED, shoulder-to-shoulder, no room to move. Getting off and on the train was nigh impossible without everyone shifting around a little bit.
ReplyDeleteAt the second stop after I hopped on, I was close to the door, and shifting around as I could to let people move around. One guy, desperately trying to get on, reached around me to try and move me over so he could maneuver into the far corner of the train and basically grabbed my crotch as he moved me over.
I wanted to shout "BAD TOUCH! BAD TOUCH!" as he moved past me. I still feel so violated.
On the upside, I noticed that the Yankees still use a photo of Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner's face superimposed on Bret Hart's body (hair included) whenever Gardner gets a hit.
Jeff Hardy is such an idiot stupid.
ReplyDeleteMen in Tights?
ReplyDeleteHe just discovered that youngster in the movie that Andre just finished
I hope Barrett never holds that belt again.
ReplyDeletehi we'll run it into ground
ReplyDeleteMuch better.
ReplyDeleteMy dad has moved back to California for the rest of the warriors run. He subleased a place in sf though June. He's visiting at my place until Friday. Its funny I know he would way rather stay in a hotel but he's just at my place. My dad is such a penny pincher, I know he thinks my apartment is too expensive to just be renting and he's stink eyeing my plans to buy another car (thanks to my gf spilling the beans) but its still fun.
ReplyDeleteMy gf wants to do a dinner with her mom and my dad but that would be an awful idea so I'll have to throw some water on that plan.
I do not miss public transportation. Not even a little bit.
ReplyDeleteHe's gonna smoke yo' herb, dawg
ReplyDeleteI once rode the special event trolley to a chargers Monday night game. Being stuffed on top of people heading to a sports game is an awful experience.
ReplyDeleteSounds like this dude went for some pubic transportation
ReplyDeleteHe's going to tell JBL to say "INCONCEIVABLE, MAGGLE!" every time something happens.
ReplyDeleteLol yeah I had to hide all my weed too.
ReplyDeleteI hated Goldberg's entrance. Here's the toughest guy in the company who breathes smoke and crushes superstars like they're jobbers, and he needs a security team to walk him to the ring.
ReplyDelete"My name is Stephanie McMahon. You disrespected my father. Prepare to job"
ReplyDeleteMan, I hate that.The London underground was like that when I went to Raw. There were massive delays and two trains went by before we could even get on.
ReplyDeleteI read that as "the special trolley"
ReplyDeleteI would also accept "Prepare to be compared to 9/11."
ReplyDeleteYeah dude they are awful at announcing archive updates. I just check the wwe network reddit everyday because there is a daily update post with the new stuff.
ReplyDeleteI think the idea was not to protect Goldberg,but to protect others from Goldberg.
ReplyDeleteI heard a rumor that Jeff Hardy got run off the road by our own Adam Curry!
ReplyDeleteSabu's Hannibal Lecter entrances portrayed that better.
ReplyDeleteI had to let four trains go by before I got on the uptown 4 train. Three five trains came by before a 4 train even stopped, and the first 4 train was PACKED to the point that NO ONE could get on.
ReplyDeleteI still don't think that word means what he thinks it means.
ReplyDeleteHow great would it be if we years from now we found out that Bryan was just lying and milking injuries so he ONLY had to work mania season?
ReplyDeleteTE1979 - ESGI
ReplyDeletePoor TatR, all mashed
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n92Rnq7olrQ
ReplyDeleteThat should be a Baphomet goat there
ReplyDeletehttp://www.alef.net/ALEFThings/SatanicSymbols/BaphometGoat.Gif
Yep. Even Flair/Anderson got involved with Doom too, they had some good matches. 89-91 NWA/WCW is what I've been watching the most on the network.
ReplyDeleteYay! More pain killers for meeeee!!!!
ReplyDelete- Jeff Hardy
truly a student of HBK.
ReplyDeletehuh, you were at the game too? I took the MNR in, which was a lot easier.
ReplyDeleteThe pen was really impressive. Fuck all the people who started leaving around the 6th inning when Esmil was pitching.
God damn it Jeff. Matt is trying so hard to stay relevant in wrestling and then you have to go and hurt yourself. Back to the woodshed for Version 1.
ReplyDeleteHey! No gimmick infringement!
ReplyDeleteAlso, get it right
#HEALTHFOOD
Watch out for folks with chainsaws.
ReplyDeletegive De Blasio another term and it'll be even shittier.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was "why take this unnecessary risk?" Second thought? "Because Jeff Hardy."
ReplyDelete"Hello, Jeff. You are a stupid head"
ReplyDelete"Matt, is that you?"
"Aaahhh"
I'd vote for Here comes the Ax, here comes the Smasher over pretty much any other entrance song. Sorry, Flair/Austin/Taker.
ReplyDeleteWAY too many bigger words.
ReplyDeleteHe is the charismatic enigma after all.
ReplyDeleteBlindfold match so that neither can be distracted.
ReplyDeleteDoes that mean strung out junkie?
ReplyDeleteShame you're allergic to snakes.
ReplyDeleteActually, what version of Matt Hardy are we on at this point?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was there. Always go to a Yankees game for my wife's birthday. Unfortunately, today's game is a day game and she can't take off work, so we went yesterday instead.
ReplyDeleteGreat fucking game, stayed all the way to the end. Didn't get my Tanaka bobblehead, though, because my wife couldn't manage to leave work soon enough.
Version 3.whogivesafuck.
ReplyDeleteI read that in Lana's voice.
ReplyDeleteWriting a mock draft is hard when people get in trouble with the law after you slotted them in the 1st round.
ReplyDeleteSince the MTA relies on state funding, I think de Blaz has less to do with it than you seem to think he does. But it's OK, the state is going to gyp the MTA a little bit more and the MTA will raise fares to $3.15 per ride. And the world will be a better place.
ReplyDeleteSince 2009
ReplyDeletemissed the bobblehead too. not pleased. Got in about 6:40 as well.
ReplyDeleteEven better - the Red Sox rotation melted down again.
yup.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I called Version1.
ReplyDeleteOn Saturday.
ReplyDeleteWhat section were you in? I used a discount at work to get cheap tickets in section 209. Closest I'd ever been to the field.
ReplyDeletehonestly, given the way the MTA is run, I don't blame Cuomo; it's a black hole of waste. I've seen one escalator being repaired for 2 weeks by 5 guys.
ReplyDeleteI liked Version 1. The Matt Facts and laggy video effect were great. I just wish he'd updated (upgraded?) his moveset and look a bit.
ReplyDeleteI was in 217. Think I might have walked by you a couple of times when I went to get the garlic fries.
ReplyDeleteGarlic fries there are so good.
ReplyDeleteSox rotation is a bunch of #4-5 starters. If Buchholz is your ace, then your staff sucks.
ReplyDeleteSailboat...sailboat... sailboat...WHEN, LORD?!? WHEN DO I GET TO SEE THE GODDAMN SAILBOAT? AAAARRGGHH!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! A SCHOONER!!!
ReplyDeleteTough break with Tanaka news. At least you got to see a good game. My experience at the new stadium has been people love to leave early whether winning or losing. Weird.
ReplyDeleteThe qualifier for Tanaka throughout the winter was "If he can stay healthy..." and no one was convinced 100 percent that he could. It's disappointing, but not really a surprise.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the new stadium, it's weird. Getting to and from the stadium is a complete pain in the ass. Getting around the stadium is a complete pain in the ass, and despite only opening in 2009, it doesn't feel like a new ball park. Citi Field out in Flushing feels much more modern and gives off a much better ball park experience than YS3, I think. They both debuted at the same time.
That'd be a funny shoot interview. "The crazy thing was, I just said I feel woozy and they said 'PLEASE! TAKE AS MUCH TIME OFF AS YOU NEED!!!"
ReplyDeleteHe's creating separation from reality.
ReplyDeleteThankfully Pineda looks ready to be the #1
ReplyDeletethey've also got enough depth in pitching that losing Tanaka sucks, but isn't a total season killer like it was last year. Pineda's been awesome, Warren and Eovaldi are showing potential, and Nova's due to return in a month. Plus Severaino has been lights out in the minors - won't be shocked if he's called up by August or so.
ReplyDeleteAnd even then, whoever they slot in (even Capuano) might be better than most of the Sox rotation, and a couple of the Jays' starters too.
Hey, it's Jack Foley getting the shit kicked out of him by the British Bulldogs! An historic moment you can watch exclusively on the WWE Network for just $9.99. Or free for the next day and a half.
ReplyDeleteMy rehab of my fantasy baseball team is going better. Actually winning so far this week! I'm waiting for the inevitable 2-3 day stretch when all my hitters suck, though. I'm thinking of trying to ways I can "game" the system (it's a head-2-head league) and maybe just get a ton of relievers to get a low ERA, low WHIP, win holds, then get a few guys with decent BA's that steal tons of bases.
ReplyDeleteThe Jays are the Jays, man. I never, ever put any stock in them until they can prove they can put it together. Every offseason, they are the pick to finally break through but they play sloppy and stupid and it kills them.
ReplyDeleteHoping Nova comes back OK in June and Severino comes up late in the year for the final push.
Oh, absolutely, they're in a better place than they were last season, but I need to be convinced with Pineda, too. He looked great in his last start, having learned to work in cold weather without the pine tar (or, he learned how to hide it better).
ReplyDeleteAt this point in the season, I have a lot more faith in the Yankees' playoff hopes than I did a couple months ago.
Piling up wins in the division will help too. Big series this weekend, two out of three would be nice.
ReplyDeleteWell, let's not discount the importance of taking the series from the Rays, too, putting them right on top of the division. I was more worried about this series than I was the Sox this weekend.
ReplyDelete
