This was in 1996. Flair was driven home by a girl from a party, apparently not aware she was underage. They were pulled over, and she was underage and drunk herself. How can someone not know a girl is 14 years old. How can a 14 year old possibly look overage? It makes it sound like you're defending peods when you say it, but if you ever go anywhere teenagers congregate you'll see lots of girls who dress/act a lot older than they are.

I don't get why people get upset when they put someone in the celebrity wing, at least Trump actually played a role in a huge buyrate. That puts him ahead of a lot of the non celebrity wing entrants actually.

I wouldn't be shocked if Taker shows up at Mania suddenly looking defined. I'm not saying like Rock levels, but I don't see someone so obsessed with protecting their gimmick showing up to the big show looking tubby. One of the photos from the house show was of him doing Old School so he must be feeling good enough to be jumping off the top rope. I was under the impression the main reason for his current body shape was that he got his shoulder repaired finally and couldn't work his upper body until it healed. Also I'm surprised Glenn Beck didn't take the bait WWE left for him. While I've been convinced for a while his nutty TV meltdowns were worked, he seemed like a guy who's easy to goad into doing something if you press the right buttons.

If he was actually stoned while driving, then fuck him since he could have killed other people. If he just had a baggie and a pipe in his car when he got pulled over for speeding, while still a dumb thing, isn't something he should have his career ended over.

Just because he was charged with DUI doesn't mean he was actually high at the time he was arrested. In most states if you're stopped with paraphernalia you get charged with DUI since it's not like booze where they can do a breath test to see if you're drunk or not.

I'm starting to think the whole Colter/Swagger angle is just Vince trolling the right for not supporting Linda more in her election attempts. You could tell by the way Cole was name dropping right wing talking heads like Rush/Beck/Alex Jones that Vince was making sure that point got across.

So the people at infowars are apparently upset at the Zeb Colter angle, there's a joke to be made about Alex Jones fans not being smartened up for sure.

Cesaro strikes me as a modern take on the Rougeau Brothers "foreign heels pretend to love America" gimmick. Not that it's a bad thing, mind you, it's just what comes to mind when he comes out waving a big US flag. I like the character of Zeb, it just seems out of place in a company that markets toward kids to have a heel manager who's political. Not to mention in some cities, his DEY TERK OUR JERBS act might end up getting them over as faces.

I like Dirty Dutch as much as anyone else, but I think it's blinding people to the fact his Teabagger gimmick is going over the heads of WWE's current audience and no one seems to care. I guess there's still time to get it over, but all the Dutch love in the universe won't hide the fact his State of the Union speech played to crickets tonight.

The guy from Houston (drawing a blank on the name) who did an interview with Meltzer pretty much shot this down by saying it was just the end of the territories and the oil crisis at best maybe shaved a year or two off the inevitable. You figure that was around 1986-1987, it was pretty clear how things were going to go down for anyone not the WWF by that point.

Wasn't that also the reason Randy Savage started wearing the full bodysuit in the 90s? I recall it being stated he wore that to hide his smaller build because he got off the gas to have a kid with Liz.

So I read on the luchablog how Namajague got dropped on his head on a botched Spanish Fly and got hurt. The match aired on TV this week, and it was one of the more alarming things I've seen. The bump wasn't just a blown spot, but a total "holy shit, I think that guy might be dead" botch. Not only that, but Rey Cometa kept picking him up and doing more spots despite his opponent clearly being out on his feet for half of them. I don't expect Mexico to be up to date on head trauma safety issues (no one outside the US seems to be too concerned it seems), but you'd think it would be a clue when the guy you're trying to pick up to do moves on is a sack of potatoes.

I would assume Foley was the backup plan as the HOF "main event" if Bruno hadn't agreed, but now with the group they have now (and they aren't done for this year yet) they've kind of shot their load for a while with top level entries. The only top level guy left it seems would be Edge since Rock's going to probably be around to some extent for another year or so probably. *edit* lol, brain cramp on my part forgetting Edge was already inducted. Who else do they have left who would qualify for a big name?

Not only did I love his video, but Lawler saying the most diplomatic version of "about fucking time" ever afterwards was awesome too.

Triple H seems like a guy people will look back on in 20 years and wonder why everyone was so down on his work. I wouldn't suggest he's GOAT or anything, but it seems like a lot of people can't separate the in ring guy with the asshole backstage who buried people for shits and giggles. From what I can tell, the things he's got his fingerprints on now since he's taken up some of the reigns look to be positive changes for the company and that will likely go a long way toward changing people's overall opinion of him. What strikes me as particularly funny is that his schtick of trying to be a modern era touring NWA champion would most likely endear himself to long time fans if he didn't have the other baggage.

Watching CMLL every week, it's really amazing how great Negro Casas still is at age 53. He can go from doing comedy teaming with Mr. Niebla to having serious main event matches for whatever they call the old NWA titles now that are top notch.

Hogan used a leg drop for decades, the AA is just a basic fireman's carry. As long as it's established as something that can end a match, it doesn't matter if it's a wristlock or a triple flip brain busting suplex,

When you boil it down, it seems like most people are just upset Rock won with the elbow more than anything else. As if it somehow invalidates Punk's year-plus reign to lose to a move that's been a signature for over a decade.

I liked it. What can I tell ya? Here's something I don't like. Mania is in New Jersey, not New York. This whole "NY/NJ" stuff is fucking horseshit. I LOVE NYC, always have. But Mania is in Jersey, period. Fucking typical Jersey disrespect. The HOF ceremony is taking place in MSG, which last I checked is still in New York. Plus NYC has more of a cache than billing your top event as just in New Jersey. That's why the Giants and Jets don't bill themselves from Jersey and no one ever accused them of disrespect.

WWC continues to be a land of completely random wrestling, just this past year Big Andy Levine of Tough Enough fame had a run as Universal Champion.

I thought it was a good show, all things considered. It was kind of predictable and that did kill some of the buzz, but WWE always gets blasted for changing plans all the time so we shouldn't get upset when they don't. The Rumble match was pretty well paced, didn't seem to have that dead spot that a lot of them end up having when there's too many midcarders/jobbers clogging things up. The surprises got good reactions, and everyone seemed to be working hard. The WWE title match was what it was. It probably wasn't the best idea to have Rock be in such a long match after being away for a while (and Punk seemed to have a clear "I'm jobbing" air about him at times), but the match itself was a solid main event and the title means more than it has in years so it's hard for me to complain too much.

I was thinking the same thing about Cena, once again it was amazing how the franchise guy was once again portrayed as an out of touch fool. He comes across as someone's cornball father trying to sound hip. Also I'm looking forward to Backlund going in the HOF just to see how many times Dave implies he's legit retarded between now and then.

I think David didn't want to sell the family business, there really isn't any other reason for him to object to the sale. JCP was good as dead financially at that point, and as I recall they had no money left to pay the top guys after Vince cock blocked them out of PPV in most markets in 1988. What I found interesting is that interview Dave and Bryan did with Peter Birkholz where he said the oil economy crashing (what Watts blames for killing the UWF) wasn't the territory killer everyone says it is, it was just the business had changed by that point and it was clear their time was coming to an end. I was surprised since that was the common wisdom for a while now that Bill Watts could have taken over the world had it not been for the territory he was based in taking an economic hit.

I think everyone who first came online in the mid 90s read Rantsylvania. There weren't many sites covering a wide array of wrestling at the time, and there were some good writers there before it seemingly crumbled into a sea of egos and interwebs POLITIXXX~!

While this is true, JBL spends more and more time on Smackdown bullying Josh Matthews than calling the action.
