Yeah pretty much my point. The thing that makes it funny to me is the crowd of people in complete denial that something even close to that could have even happened, for some reason. Most probably because Braun = WWEhipstersdarling and Karen Jarrett = women (+ TNA & Jeff's wife at that). And the fact it was evilMeltz, who's always wrong about everything ever and HATES the WWE with a passion.

Jeannie doesn't get nearly the credit she deserves for being the greatest creative mind of the 90's. "Stevie honey, drink your tea before it gets stone cold." Yeah, Austin was raw. Wouldn't be too long before he would be RAW. He definitely showed potential as early as this as far as promo and look and carrying himself. Jeannie at his side doesn't hurt either, she's gorgeous. I actually like how Adams doesn't retaliate. Doesn't hit his former wife. Good. Good also how they don't say she's his ex-wife from the get-go. I'm kinda offended by the awfully stereotypical cajun name of that jobber.

Hmmm I thought the same thing. Those Indian guys...

For fuck's sake. Keep that stuff private, will you ? You didn't even click the link did you? They didn't tweet, it's a gif from after the match and people reading their lips He's gonna find a way to be mad about that too I actually clicked the link, but my old iMac regularly fucks up with gifs and doesn't load them. FUCK MY OLD iMAC !!! AND FUCK SAFARI TOO !!!!

The fact people are trying to find actual reasons to justify that it just COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED DAMNIT, NOT TO BRAUN, NOT WITH KAREN FUCKING JARRETT !!! is making this funnier and funnier each day. What's so hard to understand ? Like Matt said, tons of much crazier shit happens regularly in pro-wrestling. What Alberto and Paige are doing these days ?

Ku Klux Klan I vs Ku Klux Klan II. WHO THE FUCK DO YOU CHEER FOR ??!!!

Because Braun being rude (apparently, extremely so) to a woman asking an autograph for her son is a big deal to begin with in term of image. And it makes Braun seem like a complete jerk too (seriously, who does he think he is ?). Braun basically being rude to the son of Kurt Angle (who cares about how long him and Karen are divorced ?), well… if you are drunken Braun, yeah, you should freak the fuck out a bit (hell, if only if you consider Angle being kind of a crazy mofo with myriads of public problems… but really because he's Angle, he's back, he's an HOF and a legend respected by everyone etc…) People just don't want to picture Braun begging Karen like a bitch after he acted like an asshole to a mother asking for an autograph. People are funny like that. Still real to them etc… (bis repetita)

For fuck's sake. Keep that stuff private, will you ?

EP 22 Not sure I'm a fan of the whole Cueto Cup. A giant tournament is not the most exciting idea in the LU context. Aerostar vs Drago was on the sloppy side too. Mack vs that Alice in Wonderland guy was fun though. On the other hand, that Mysterio vs Mundo hype video with some British sounding narrator was excellent. And I guess Cage is officially the Gregor Clegane of Lucha Underground now.

You just gave me an idea for that paper I have to write, which actually deals with stereotypes and stuff. Couldn't find the right way to begin, been searching for hours. "Everyone is a stereotype" will do quite well. Thanks for the help (even if it wasn't intended).

Some people just aren't good at that. I totally understand. It used to piss me off (I'm always the one who picks up the phone and calls, or send e-mails/messages), but not that much anymore. I found this episode quite fascinating again and Tony very fair as usual. Gotta love the "Fingers" nickname Heenan gave to Tenay's wife.

What's actually ridiculous is a bunch of people having *zero* knowledge of what actually happened claiming "Oh, it surely didn't happen that way" because evilMeltz™ reported a favourite of them got verbally bitchslapped by a woman (Karen Jarrett of all people) after he acted like a rude mofo with an attitude. I guess it's still real to you, damnit. But you know, it's not that hard to picture a green ass rookie in the business (which is what Braun is, essentially) shitting himself after realizing he just cussed out Kurt Angle's ex-wife, when Kurt Angle's back in the company and seen as a legend by everyone, including management. I guess you never witnessed a petite woman (yeah, Karen ain't petite, but whatever) put some big fucker in their right place before. I tend to mark out for these kind of stories, admitedly.

Tonight during a Carl Craig set. He mixed Also Sprach Zarathustra in the middle of old-school Detroit techno. So yeah, I couldn't help it. I woooed.

I dunno (well, WCCW I don't care much for anyway, but the point stands). Pro-wrestling is also an atmosphere as a whole to me. It's part of the deal. It's part of the memories too.

And this is why old bootlegged TV stuff >>> Network cleaned up stuff. (who wants to watch Hollywood Hogan coming out to some generic bullshit theme or ECW without all the music that was part of the fun and identity ? or, for old fuckers, Kerry von Erich without Tom Sawyer and Fantastics without Sharp Dressed Man ?)

I never sell shit in real life. Well, I had an ankle sprain one time, I did the Raven laugh-sell when it happened and I was sitting down in the street, then I did sell it for days to come.

This is more entertaining that whatever crap those 25 "writers" come up with every week. If Karen bitchslaps Abyss next week on iMPACT, I'll watch.

What would have Bill Watts done ? (seriously, no idea if there's any truth to it, but the visual of Braun on his knees begging Karen Angle while she's cutting a terrific babyface promo is just too damn fantastic)

They should book meta and have Braun squash Jason Jordan now.

This is absolutely glorious.

I'll definitely pass. On the bullshit department, Mike Graham was pretty fucking high too. He got the idea for the nWo and he's the one responsible for getting Hogan in WCW, you know.

Quite smart ! Yeah, Manny looks like those old-school dipshits. No, everything wasn't better in the "good ol' days".

My digital recorder didn't record the show last night. Not sure what the issue was. Judging by this thread though, it seems to me that I won the fucking poney !

Not sure I would call it the best KOTM match, but it sure was a great one, redeeming the very disappointing mess of the previous year. It's also probably the very point where they should have pulled the trigger on Samoa Joe before it was too late. Angle didn't need the title (he's a guy who doesn't need a title to be at the top). He wasn't the worst choice (AJ Styles needed to be rebuilt as a top guy and Christian already was there for most of the year) but even Chris Harris would have been better as far as creating a new legit main event star. I'm not overly familiar with the chronology of the events to follow, but I do think this highlights the point where it was obvious TNA would not create any new star and would only trust WWE names at the top. It was Samoa Joe's to win there. The post-match was kinda idiotic since this whole feud was already done to death by this point, and Angle's attitude was confusing, as it has never been clear if this guy should be considered a heel or a babyface. This match is also one of Christian's best performance.
