Hogan and Savage doing the Mega Powers hand shake after Liz rips her skirt off is one of the most ridiculous and funny things I've ever seen in wrestling.

Secret Weapon...deployed.

It's such a shame that Liz always looks like she's on the verge of a panic attack whenever she was on camera. It seemed to be at its worst during her run with Lex in WCW where she looked like she was actually having panic attacks at all times.

wait. They are honoring Carlos Colon? Fuck that guy and his covering up Bruiser Brody's murder.

Probably from all the drugs Lex injected into her

But on the flipside, she was so hot. So very hot.

I really need to brush up on my wrestling history, I didn't know Carlos was involved in the Brody case at all, I thought it was just Atlus refusing to testify

This notion that stro brings out from time to time has me at least partially convinced he is actually Vince Russo creeping on Liz all day.

He could also be Kanyon after faking his death though.

And in addition to being involved with Brody's murder, he also is responsible for Carlito. That's not cool.

She had more meat on her and showed more skin. In addition to having better hair. Hard to argue with facts.

I think she was so much hotter in WCW. Bad 80s hair and being way skinny wasn't a turn on to me.

Yeah, that's what I mean. That 98-99 run she had with the NWO and Lex, she looked amazing. She would probably make my all time fave five list at that point.

She did look good stro but that contract doesn't mean you own her! You can't tell her what to wear and what to do in your office! Quit being so creepy!
 
Wasn't Zeb in Puerto Rico with Bruiser at that time? I wonder how he feels about the induction of Carlos. I could be wrong
(I'm legit shook by the latest episode of The Walking Dead)
, but I thought a read an article about Zeb and the craziness with the trial or something.

Total Divas is off to a great start as Eva Marie gets put over, Natalya proves what an awful person she is, and Summer owns her, all within the first 3 minutes
 
Finishing watching that ROH show (Raising the Bar Night 2), been real good stuff so far - Cedric Alexander vs Kevin Steen was great, also enjoyed Bennett vs Lethal and Taven vs Young. Show's well worth a watch so far, and I've still got Hero vs Cole and Red Dragon vs the Bucks left.

And a Maria gif for you;

Wrestling behind the scenes is so goddamn shady.

There's an outstanding book called Wrestling Babylon that is essentially Hollywood Babylon with wrestling. It's not perfect, but it does reasonably cite its sources.

Total Divas was fairly meh - Nattie was a silly highlight though. Eva stole the show.

I could easily buy the Bellas becoming Wyatt Family members. Might take a while for their beards to grow, but I'm sure they can get it done by Wrestlemania 31

For Total Divas, can anyone actually explain to me how it is supposed to get viewers of it to watch WWE, when the show seems so intent on making everyone just an awful person for whatever reason? Is that supposed to be a draw?

The divas are horrible horrible people. All E! people are horrible horrible people.
 

Aiii

So not worth it
2 minutes in, Summer was told she's been doing great with "all the matches" (I think she's had two so far?) and has been paired with Eva because "Eva has been out there a little more."

Yes, I love this show!

-Edit: And now Natty and her drinking problem is trying to dry hump Vinny on the dance floor. Best show ever.

Natalya is actually growing on me. She can have good matches when the circunstances allow it and she has drinking problems, which makes her totally relatable.

Some people, when they get drunk, oscilate between doing shit and feeling guilty they are doing shit. She is the kind of people who stick to her guns while there's clearly something in her head going "you know, you are pretty drunk and there's a possibility other people are upset for a reason". I respect that.
 

Aiii

So not worth it
Natalya is antagonizing herself to me. I think the pretending to be the be-all end-all of women's wrestling makes her seem very entitled. Especially because it comes from her priviliged position of being born into the right family. She's just a natural heel in that roll.

Eva Marie on the other hand is totally charming and nice in the new season. Everyone seems to like her now. As long as they don't have her wrestle or doing anything on Main WWE outside of stand beside the ring and look pretty every once in a while she might actually become likable.
 
When the hell did Eva Marie get a fan club on here?

And why?
It has to be gimmick posters, nothing else makes sense.

Hey guys, remember when Kane and Orton had a Wrestlemania match over a hand shake and Kane won completely clean?
I never forget, Kane getting his due over the Golden Boy clean as a whistle was like a wrestlemania moment for me.
Plus handshakes are serious business in the world of wrasslin'.

What I also recall was a few weeks before that WM event Orton bigged up his match as more important and bigger than the WHC match on some interview, everyone laughed but then we saw what happened to the WHC match, Orton vindicated.

All this talk here about Bret Hart being bitter makes me understand Natalya better by thinking she comes from a bitter background. Whining is her blood, you can't fight that.

And Eva Marie really is actually adorable this first chapter. You can't hate the timeless struggle of a woman chosing love over family.

Dump the cardio. Get your diet sorted - eat 500 cal above your current maintenance calories. Hell, even more. It's going to be tough, but you have to feed your body in order for muscle growth.

Monday
Squat - 3 sets of 5
Bench Press - 3 sets of 5
Deadlifts - 1 set of 5
Pull-Ups - 3 sets of 8-15

Wednesday
Squat - 3 sets of 5
Overhead Press - 3 sets of 5
Power Cleans - 5 sets of 3
Abdominal work

Friday
Squat - 3 sets of 5
Bench Press - 3 sets of 5
Deadlift - 1 set of 5
Bent Over Rows - 3 set of 5
Arm work, if desired

Start LOW. Do not do MORE than what is suggested in the beginning. Youtube any movements you're not sure of. Remove Power Cleans if you can't do them right - they're not easy to do.

What are you doing Vince, you can't just tell a guy to eat 500 more calories. You can't just tell a guy to do difficult exercises without telling him how to do them properly.

Spider, if you want to grow muscle you do have to eat more. But you have to have make sure you're getting a lot of your calories from protein. Aim for getting 1g of protein per lb of lean mass that you want. For instance, if you want to be 200 lbs and 10% body fat (that's actually Zacked, but this is a goal), 20 lbs of you will be fat and so you want 180 grams of protein. That's 720 protein calories, as 1g of protein = 1g of carbohydrate = 4 calories (1g of fat is 9, btw). For the other 1,280 you should divide them more or less evenly between carb and fat. Don't worry about it as long as they're close, but remember that a gram of fat has 2.25x the calories of a gram of carb. And it will be fine if you get extra protein and split the rest. Drink water.

Squats and deadlifts and overhead presses and power cleans require full-body technique and you will need to research them. Mark Rippetoe is the authoritative source on how to do them.
