I mean it's not as openly anti-Palestine as the last time she tweeted on the subject, it's more just incredibly wishy-washy.

Needs more bad old pop songs.

Now John Lennon singing about imagining no possessions while living in Central Park West, that's a heel for you.

I thought the New Breed's extent of their Transformers references was talking about drinking energon, but no. They are agents from the Decepticon High Council on Cybertron! Jimmy Valiant does not know what he's in for.

WCW's Robocop tie-in was 31 years ago, so they didn't go back quite far enough.

Having revisited Capital Combat recently what I had forgotten is Robocop doesn't even help in the main event (and considering it's a cage match beatdown of Ric and Barry on Lex, you'd think that would be the perfect time) but no. It was earlier in the show and didn't really matter. If you watch you can see a piece fall off Robocop on his way back down the aisle so maybe they didn't want to risk a second trip, but on the other hand it's more like Ole understandably didn't want him near the main event.

Great Steiners/Doom match, though.

Shida actually is a weird case as she fell into wrestling entirely by accident, she was a model and actress who got cast in a movie about pro wrestling so went to train for her role and now here we are.

Oh, sure. I was just thinking about her main eventing Bull's retirement show and that was like ten years ago.

I saw them at Summer Sanitarium 18 years ago to the day, and luckily they only played 2 songs off of it.

It's easily one of the worst albums ever made.

Although the defenses of it are interesting. It has its fans and they go to the wall for it with things like "it's supposed to be hard to listen to because it's Hetfield's journey through his pain to cleaner living" and things and if I squint I can see what the fans are going for even if it all the songs feel like they have the exact same tempo and it sounds like Lars is banging on paint cans because the sound mixing is so horrible.

i think its that and that hes always been a mega mark for this version of how wrestling was in the 80s and 90s that mostly just exists in his head, also displayed by how desperately he wanted ric to love him

This feels like the key. HHH has never been 'the guy' no matter how much hanging around Shawn or putting himself with Austin or having his own Four Horsemen in Evolution he did. Even on top it doesn't feel like anybody respects him, not that I think he's done a lot to earn it.

Part of the reason she was ousted from AEW was she was accused of stealing stuff. The rumor I heard was it was thunder rosa’s athletic tape and it turned into a shouting match TK had to sort out

Was the other part she seemed to just be an unpleasant presence backstage overall?

Wait, if the Nasty Boys hazed Ken Shamrock then how are they still alive?

Well the first time it was because Sags ambushed Shamrock and nearly killed him and every other time they met when Ken got hot (once because Owen Hart was trying to wind him up, because Owen could honestly be kind of a dick) others separated them. Also Sags seemed to be at least vaguely embarrassed about it and never brought it up on his own and Knobs was black out drunk during the thing so didn't remember.

I grew up with JCP so watching Tony's passion for the sport being whittled down broadcast after broadcast in the late 90's was very depressing. I'm glad to see him enjoy himself again.

I think my cap was Sting telling him to give him a hug. :unsmith:
