Guys I'm gonna need a spotter and a belt for this massive weight. Must have left my straps and gloves home.
90s a good warmup Weight, having the belt there and a spotter is just convenience.

I thought Mauro was great, but that part with Lawler was super weird. "A guy called JR"? Does Jim Ross own the trademark to JR or something? Why not just "I used to work with JR"? I don't think MR works as a nickname either.

I remember reading somewhere that you end up having to do like 100 reps for photoshoots so they always pick a low weight.
I have no doubt that trips can lift decent.

Don't fret, Fox318. Wins and losses don't matter. Belts don't matter. The WWE told me as much.
All that matters is how happy and fun-loving a performer is, that they're doing all the shit they do in the ring for the WWE Universe and that they have a signature spot or two and a popular chant I can sing along with.
Now they have nothing to fear for the biggest WrestleMania of all-time even though Cena is on the shelf.
I will go on record in favor of New Day's lame unicorn antics. It's tired and not funny in the least BUT it is effective in keeping them hated as heels (which they should be).

feels bad, man. Sorry to hear it.
At least someone is trying to clean the place up.

Naw, I think he's just calling out exceedingly boring and unfunny memes in an effort to challenge wrasslegaf to think a little harder about their zingers~
....which actually might be very anti-vince mcmahon :O

think it was the raw right before the new year, doing the same thing (coming out during miz tv).
I could swear there was an earlier point though, wasn't there?

he came back on the survivor series pre show
and they teased what could be an epic feud in the 90s.
Someone uploaded one of the full WBF shows from way back when

I am pretty overworked, to be sure. Things have really ramped up this year.
I don't troll anyone. I do like WWE more often than not, I don't have many complaints about their product, honestly, and I don't think I sound like I do either, so this is making me a bit concerned, heh.
I'm very tired of people regurgitating one-liners from that one podcast. It reeks or Wreddit, which is a terrible and disgusting place.¡HarlequinPanic!;191596509 said:

Really, that long ago?
I guess I really am out of the WWE loop now.
Feels kinda good.

Stro used to review those shows, it was pretty spectacular. It's not on legitshook.com, but somewhere here. It was great. I watched the two shows (and VASTLY one over the other) but they're incredibly entertaining.
He had a nice gif dump of it too, right here:

Oh yeah, Wrestle Kingdom 10 was great. Lower on the pageantry scale, but the match quality was more consistent than Wrestle Kingdom 9. Ishii vs. Shibata was my favorite match, though Styles vs. Nakamura was very close. Omega vs. Kushida is under-hyped. I've enjoyed Okada vs. Tanahashi in the past, and this was the conclusion the story needed. Tana focused on Okada's knee, but Okada didn't sell it consistently enough to make it all worthwhile. I love grumpy heelish Tana, and I don't need to see another Okada/Tana match for a few years.
Lol the only person Sunny is trolling these days is herself.
Gotta tough it out so she can join Balor Club/Bullet Club 2.0.

Not really, no. I really love his show. But he's about as opposite to Brock Lesnar as people get.
Loved almost every episode of everything he's done, especially the wrestling episode.
You had me scared there for a second

That shit was fucking stupid.We just need better booking.
I mean they paid Brock a shit ton just so they could make HHH feel like an actual athlete.
"I can shoot"
This is like a christmas special

It's a great episode, and everyone who likes either WCW, indie garbage feds, or posh assholes like Louis getting put in situations he's not equipped to be in should totally watch it. It delivers.
He only sings in French.
He probably sang about sang
Ok so I just started watching last night's Smackdown and the new commentary, now lead by Ranallo, is already leagues better than what we get on RAW. For fucks sake I hope someone at WWE realizes that's one of the main problems that needs to be fixed for RAW and PPVs.
EDIT: I still don't understand how Byron has a job as an announcer. Fuck he is awful.

I just watched some of the clips on WWE's youtube and it was all I need to hear. Mauro makes everyone else sound like amateur hour on night one, especially that geek michael cole.

If I was totally fine with the commentary last year, will I be fine with the Murican WK10 commentary?

I met Sheamus last night
So, with some hesitation, I made my way to target last night to pick up a few things. As I'm walking to the register, I see a beautiful petite brunette. Out of nowhere, Sheamus joins her. I walk up to him and couldn't help but notice how exhausted the guy was. So, I approached him to wish him well but did not want to be overbearing.
Me: "Excuse me."
Sheamus (looking up from his cellphone); "Oh, hey man."
Me: "I'll just ask one thing and leave you be."
Sheamus: "No you're perfectly fine, man; what's up?"
Me: "How's YOUR shoulder doing?"
At this point he covers his eyes and starts laughing. He hands his girl a lot of Star Wars merch he was buying and shakes my hand.
"I'm trying not to. Have you seen the new (Star Wars) movie?"
At this point, I'm thinking, this guy is fucking exhausted, and he is forcibly making small talk with me to be nice when he doesn't have to. We chit chat just a little bit more while waiting (They had just gotten out of watching the new movie at Alamo Drafthouse, a popular theatre chain here in Austin) before I wish him the best.
Super nice guy but rather than be star struck by it all, the only thought that kept racing in my head was how beat up the guy looked. He had scratches and marks all over his arms. Dude was a monster in person. He must be 7 ft tall (his gf was 5'3 ish). Super nice guy. I did not want a posed picture with him as I felt it would have been super stupid to do.
Good interaction. Outside of the ring, they all look annihilated. It's pretty nuts. CM Punk looked like a corpse when I found him at IHOP. Justin Roberts looked perfect, though. Punk's face was just...empty. This was in...2009? Maybe 2010?

Sounds like it was a good encounter, right on!
I've always been a Sheamus booster, if they didn't shotgun this league of nations thing into the mid card they could've really done more with him this past month or so.
I missed JR but it was totally fine. If you don't like Striker you won't like it though. He's still his typical self.
