Vince McMahon confused Michael Tarver for Shelton Benjamin:

From the recent Curt Hawkins shoot:

"On July 28th, the PG era in the WWE began. Brian said that they were told this would take place in a meeting backstage before the Great American Bash. He recalls how Vince was speaking at a podium when Michael Tarver, who had been used sparingly at this point, asked a question to which Vince replied "excellent question Shelton." He then said everyone laughed and Vince could not figure out why.

He then recalls at the Bash, JBL and Cena had a brutal Parking Lot Brawl match that was taped the day prior and they showed the finish live and he was watching backstage on the monitor with Mark Henry who said "since when is murder PG." He said that he were all trying to figure out the rules at the time."

Haven't seen lucha in 4 weeks. What should I watch to catch up tonight

Watch it all. But especially the cage match from the week before last, and last week's Grave Consequences match. Both are awesome.

Next year needs to be Bull going in. Sell me a foam wig with stand-uppy hair, I'll buy it.

Why does wrestling have a stigma of advertisers not wanting in?

Brock resigned LMAO poor Reigns. Seth is going to look so strong after takes that belt from Brock I can't wait

Because it's wrestling

Brock is going Mega Babyface at WM31, with or without the belt the next night. WM31 will the complete inverse of WM20 in terms of the crowd reactions to him. He loves the WWE (part time)!

 

[Bowser]

Wish you guys would stop reminding me how shitty Dexter got. One of the few shows I actually just quit watching which is saying a lot. Fuck, I even stuck with Nip/Tuck all the way through.

I watched all the way to the bitter end. That final season...my god.

Yes sir!

Once you start associating your product with Wrestling it's pretty much impossible to get that stink off of it. That's why only products that are low quality trash to start with like Slim Jims or Paper Jamz bother

The stigma is that people who watch wrestling are low income, not a high IQ, and a bunch of other things.

 

[Data West]

Told yall, Gail Kim said they used to mix her and Angela Fong up all the time.

You call it a stigma, I call it a demographic.

 

[The Elite]

I don't really want Brock to go face. He's perfect the way he is now. He's over because he is unstoppable and beats the shit out of guys we don't generally like but who may also be faces. Also, if he goes face he's going to be in chase mode sooner than later.

 

[RP912]

O_0 don't see the resemblance at all...

 

[Zach]

But not THE most offensive.

That would be this:

Why you guys reminding me of Dexter? What a crappy show. I thought I liked it for so long, too. >_>

 

[jred2k]

You call it a stigma, I call it a demographic.

There is a reason they were saying "$9.99" so much when the network launched. Market research has probably shown that a majority of wrestling fans are poor and need things repeated to them.

 

[avengers23]

O_0 don't see the resemblance at all...

You're not racist.

 

[JavyOO7]

I saw seasons 1 and 2 of Dexter which I felt were magnificent. Did not see anything after though. Going by the last GAF-OT thread of season eight, maybe I shouldn't go past season 2 after all. =p

 

[Toki767]

Little do they know that the main reason the Network doesn't sell is because the current product is lackluster.

But of course they can never blame themselves.

'Y-e-s' three letters. Something simple for the neanderthals to chant.

 

[Zach]

Haha. Wow. I kind of love it.

there is no video game fanbase worse than mgs/kojima fanbase.

they're the #BoycottRaw of kideo games

I love Metal Gear and Kojima. #NotAllFans v_v

WM31 predictions

Usos win
HHH wins
No idea who'll win the ARMBAR
Bryan wins
Rusev wins
AJ/Paige win
Undertaker wins
Orton wins
Brock wins

Why can't McMahon have what he lusts for: the unstoppable monster face champion? Like, a new Hulkster? The Brockster, if you will.

 

[avengers23]

Is she carrying his child, or grandchild?

If you're referring to the older guy, why not both?

Russo's twist is that it's actually the boy's child.

Brock doesn't have the look probably.

Vince is desperate to create the next Hogan and Rock, not the next Stone Cold.

probably his nephew

Re-posting from the morning.

Reminder about tonight's Lucha Underground:

-Angelico vs. Son of Havoc
-Alberto El Patron vs. Texano (bullrope match)
-Prince Puma vs. Cage (street fight)

Preview vid: https://youtu.be/0bvxwq7TDJo

Should be another home run.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

I think I need to get the answer straight from the experts -- do y'all think the whole Kojima/Konami thing is a WORK or a SHOOT? Vote now on the WWE App!

Kojima's the boy who cried wolf at this point. He pulls the wool over people's eyes a couple of times and, because of that, literally everything that he does anymore is expected to be part of some big deception or some shit, and not that maybe he just doesn't want to put up with the bullshit from a company as incompetent as Konami anymore.

This is a depressing page guys

Here's Vader asking for a beer from Stone Cold while destroying the Rock

 

[Data West]

You motherfucker.

That's depressing. WCW Vader wouldn't 'ask for beers.' He would DEMAND AUSTIN PAY SACRIFICE TO THE MAN

 

[Liquidsnake]

I had a friend who loved Dexter and would always tweet about how awesome it was. I never watched it. She died, so I like to just not watch it and imagine it was as awesome as she said it was.

What happened?

 

[Alucard]

Is Lucha Underground just flippy shit or is there a good variety in wrestling styles?

Mostly flippy, but you've also got some monsters in Big Ryck, Cage, and Mil Muertes. Regardless, it's an excellent hour of entertainment.

WM31 predictions

Coming from a guy who barely knows what's going on:

- Orton over Rollins clean*
- Undertaker over Bray to somehow set up Taker/Sting at Bash at the Beach
- Pai-J over the Bellas for the love of Jesus
- Cena over Rusev because dumb
- Daniel Bryan wins the IC strap
- It's a toss-up between Adrian Neville and Mark Henry for the Andre win, but I'm going with Mighty Mouse
- Sting over Triple H
- Kidd/Cesaro because awesome
- Reigns over Brock

*Rollins cashes in and wins the strap from Reigns to set up feuds with Orton (WM X-style, baby!), Reigns, AND babyface The Brockster down the road.

 

[bjork]

Haha

Both, obviously.

 

[Heel]

Alucard, while I can understand a child-like enthusiasm for something you enjoy, can you not "re-post" things you've already said about Lucha Underground?

 

[Liquidsnake]

I miss Brad Maddox.

 

[MC Safety]

Why can't McMahon have what he lusts for: the unstoppable monster face champion? Like, a new Hulkster? The Brockster, if you will.

I think the comparison is inelegant.

Brock is no Hulk Hogan, and Hogan was never marketed as an unstoppable monster.
