Boondocks Kernoodle

Of course he got banned. Why, look at his final post. Jerk. Who says something like that? A guy who's on THIN ICE, that's who. AND THAT ICE JUST MELTED.

NBC fired Vince as producer after Vince demanded Costas change his name to "Colby Breckman" because "there are already too many Bobs on TV." Also Costas was dismayed with Vince's banning the term "talk show," instead choosing to refer to each Later telecast as a "fireside chat." It did make for some great TV seeing Bob come out every night wearing eight-inch lifts in his shoes because "nobody's going to stay up late to watch a show if they think they can kick the host's ass." Note: Nothing in the above paragraph is true.

Obviously that's why Flair never made it to his room!

The WWE Universe message board was pretty funny stuff when it first was launched because it had little to no moderation and it was a hotbed of hilarious and extremely tasteless gimmick posts from "Chris Benoit," "Lex Luger," "The Iron Sheik," "Dave Meltzer," and "Jesus Christ," among others. Also there was a funny thread of Mike Von Erich tampon jokes (you know, because of the Toxic Shock Syndrome). This is quite a turnaround from a year ago when they were pretending that MySpace and YouTube didn't exist. I always thought one thing TNA did smarter than WWE was latch onto the YouTube phenomenon fairly early. (In addition to giving their videos the opportunity to have greater exposure, it also saved TNA a hell of a lot of money on bandwidth.) Also I've felt that WWE should create "in-character" Myspace profiles for all their Entertainers (except those whose characters would be compromised by the illusion that they maintain a Myspace, like the Undertaker) to help the fans really feel like they "know" the wrestlers. (I know they have WWE Fan Myspace and Facebook accounts for all the wrestlers, but that isn't quite what I want out of them.)

Maybe they subscribe to Hogan's belief Re: Warrior that mentioning that you've defeated someone before is "the ultimate no-no in this business." I don't think HHH would let his wife portray some other dude's love interest on TV. He knows how that often ends. Besides which, if she leaves her lotion at home now she can have one of her writing team goons get it.

How dare you discount the fine work of Deputy Managing Editor Scott Williams.

Just because he's a hate-filled grouch doesn't mean he can't admire a wrestler's work. Speaking of WWE's MMA issues, did anyone see the wwe.com article about how UFC PPVs are an unsafe bet because they might end early? Some of the most hilarious sour grapes I've ever seen from them. You know that's what Vince keeps telling himself. "Entertainment is superior to UFC because their fights can end after 30 seconds." It's just like after the Tyson-McNeely fight when they were all "our main event won't last 87 seconds!" (Although given that their main event that month was Kevin Nash vs Mabel, they may have picked the wrong fight.) Besides which, the fights ending quickly DOESN'T leave them scrambling to fill time, because they always tape three to five dark matches to show if they need to fill time. Maybe the fact that the shows don't end with the winner of the main event celebrating alone in the octagon with some dated-sounding nu-metal blaring over the loudspeaker and fireworks going off means that UFC doesn't produce climatic "movie endings" as well as WWE does (because, you know, MMA is an actual sport), but it works for them.

Anyone ever see that episode of Hogan Knows Best where Hulk makes reference to the Undertaker injuring him in Detroit in '74? Maybe he wasn't so far off!

I think King Diamond spent a little too much time at backstage catering. And one of 'em is Big Val Puccio! The less-talented predecessor to Big Sal! Jeez.

All sounds reasonable to me. I heard a rumor that Black Bart wrote Vanessa Williams' hit song "Save the Best For Last", and he came up with the idea of casting Fabio in the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter commercials. But this is unconfirmed and obviously there are forces out there who wouldn't want you to know.

Trish wore an LED belt right before retiring. I've never seen her last match, but I know she wore one in her match with Mickie the week before.

Does anyone know what exactly the deal was with Coliseum Video? They were just a division of Evart Enterprises (a porn video distributor, apparently), not of Titan Sports, right?

If Dustin had a bad back, a boob job is the last thing he should have wanted done! OR At the rate he's growing, he'll have a sizable pair of natural breasts soon enough! TAKE YOUR PICK

From an old RSPW post:

There's a difference between making fun of her for getting breast implants and calling her a fatass.

Smackdown Spoiler: lolololol take that u fat biatch!!!!! :lol: :lol: There was a time when Hunter's wife wasn't looking so svelte on TV. I don't recall anyone making light of that.

Not really relevant but I just thought this note from the 9/30/91 Observer posted today was funny:

And this. You seem to be arguing that the fact that Vince was trying to get out of the contract somehow refutes the claim that Hart was being buried, when in fact it supports it. I don't know exactly what he wrote, but if it looks like they were trying to make Bret look bad, they probably were. He was the one on his way out. Nothing wrong with that. That's what you do when one of your stars is leaving for the competition, you bury them. Especially when Bret's reluctant to leave. You want to make the decision easy for him.

Except that DX weren't faces at all when Michaels was part of the group.

Jim Barnett wasn't a "job4lifer" but Vince still gave him a "sit at home, do nothing, and call Alvarez to find out what happened to Raw in order to write your consultant report" job after WCW went down. And that was after they had that nasty split in '87. Of course, Vince has that weird habit of kissing up to those that shit on him. If Vickie had badmouthed him after Eddie's death or tried to negotiate with TNA, she'd probably have a better deal now.

In a recent blog entry, Scott refers to the Rock-HHH feud in 2000 as "The biggest money-drawing feud in the history of wrestling up until that point." Is there any truth to that? It just seems wrong althoug they did headline a number of big-money PPVs during the boom, so I guess it could be...

When he had that match with Bischoff on PPV.

But Jingus, without Vickie out there every week, how would they go about reminding all their fans that EDDIE GUERRERO IS DEAD DEAD DEAD AND NEVER COMING BACK?

Well, that's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. I know WWE is all about physical appearance, and that's fine, but I'll never understand how they got so wrapped up in presentation that even the "ugly" women have to have their weaknesses hidden. VICKIE GUERRERO IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HOT. IT'S OK IF SHE'S FAT. I wonder if, if Yokozuna was around were around today, they'd make him wear a shirt. You know, so the fans wouldn't know he had man-boobs.
