There was a wrassler named Rikishi and his trademark move was to force his opponent to motorboat his huge rear end.

lol scrolling through Val Venis's feed, he believes that when he sends an email, it is "no longer in his possession" so he has to use #cryptography for his #digiassets.

They call it a "Sent Items" folder you loving president.

Also he's big into weed, and weed is good, as such, Val Venis is a person of contrasts.

But he posts photoshops of Obama holding weed cigars, and Obama is bad, but weed cigars are good, but Obama smoking weed is very bad, so I have come to the conclusion that Val Venis, the person of contrasts, is not working with a complete toolbox.

He probably smells what The Rock is cooking, which is a combination of burnt toast and almonds. Which, now that you mention it, what time is the treehouse?

his (first) book is really good if you can get a hold of it, particularly for a legitimately self-written autobiography by someone who had to retire in 2000 after getting smashed in the head professionally until he couldn't remember things any more

Any second hand bookstore like Half Price Books is going to have a copy. They probably have like 100 in the back because that thing sold so many copies.

In the late 90's/early aughts, the pro wrestling rumors and news website was big business. Some of the sites are still around, like WrestleZone.com, WrestlingRumors.net, Rajah.com. Of course there are guys like Dave Meltzer at the Wrestling Observer who have actual connections in the business as far as agents, wrestlers, executives, etc. but this was a different thing all together. These wrestling proto-blogs were all over the place, often hosted on subdomains like HyperStreet or VirtualAve, usually by people in their teens or twenties, so you had plenty of places like "wrestlingnewsroundup.virtualave.net" or something like that. Stealing "news" and "rumors" from each other, some stolen from the legit newsletters and reporters, some surely made out of whole cloth. The "reporters" would "work" for different sites using different names to avoid being detected. Like if part of Meltzer's newsletter leaked to one site, every other site would post it saying they had this breaking news first. Sites would merge and take a new domain, or there'd be a fight over which domain they would use, sites would rent out URLs and hosting - you too can have a powerbomb.com/yoursite address! It was serious business. There were people that specialized in designing forums and graphics for these wrestling sites, for a fee of course.

An acquaintance of mine ran one of those sites, and sold the domain in 2004 or 2005 for $75,000.

edit: the domain sits idle, no content, wrestling or otherwise.

I had that ring, it was sweet.

Also holy poo poo I remember Adam Bomb

It definitely was sweet.

Going through an image search to try to remember some of the figures I had. Most or all of them had some signature move/feature and you just had to use your imagination for the rest. Just banging toy figures of beefy, sweaty men together.

Hulk Hogan who did a bear hug action.
Hulk Hogan who did a body slam.
Ultimate Warrior who also did a body slam.
Ultimate Warrior who had a spring action in his back/torso and he could actually jump off the turnbuckle!
Jake the Snake who had an arm that was completely straight, you could pull it back and punch a guy.
Randy Savage, you had to make this one jump on your own but the elbow cocked up and swung back for maximum Macho.
Ted DiBiase who had an arm bent 90 degrees that you could cock back and knock someone in the head with.
Demolition tag team, one did the bodyslam, the other had an arm you could wind back and the movement stopped right around groin level.
The Rockers, Michaels had the spring back and who the gently caress cares what Jannetty did.
The Bushwhackers who did their weird arm swinging thing.
Ravishing Rick Rude who had one arm to headlock you with and a swinging arm to bash your head in. Because of the position of the headlock arm, it made for some pretty devastating elbows as well.

I'm sure a handful of other jobber dudes or gimmicks that didn't go over as well.

I still have that ring, one of my all time favorite toys, as more than just wrestlers could settle their beef in it. G.I. Joes, Superheroes. Use of powers was a DQ though.

Oh hell yeah, had many TMNT vs. myriad enemies matches in there, too.

Great stuff, especially the He-Man episode

He blue, why they think he He-Man?



Also I thought his name was Fakor, not Faker. Bad name choice bro.

You could be Faker, the Fake He-Man, or Fakor, the clandestine He-Man that sneaks into Snake Mountain.

It's Wednesday night, and you know what that means!

Service at 5:30 then Bible Study from 6:30-7 and Fellowship (drinks and light snacks provided) until 7:30.

At least that's what it should mean you filthy heathens, watching your sweaty, oily, tattooed men fight.
