Something close to the natural evolution from those matches. Everything was bigger, faster, dumber 10 years later. Less a sense that all of these little things were adding up to the degree that they were with Crazy/Tajiri, but that feels more like a change in ring psych philosophy as a whole.

Fuck Meltzer, that was the most fun I've had watching wrestling in a long time.

and Generico says fuck sentimentality and murders Steen. Beautiful.

Remsburg and Sinclair bumping like MEN

This is fucking insanity.

I'm pretty sure its because they only have five weeks, and it'll be easier to rush through a season if they're just introducing the new chicks.

No one has reported anything of that sort. Meltzer has only made references to her not keeping her partying under control on the road, and for all you know that means she's doing lines off a stripper in the arena parking lot.

It's "natural athletes", not pure. Pure refers to something else.

The biggest point that is being ignored here is that people are getting self righteous about a situation that no one has the slightest amount of detail about. I'm going to make an assumption, and it could be 100% false, but I'd guess that whatever she was doing, it was a bit more involved than going out and having one too many drinks every night.

Finkel can be replaced by someone young and attractive who does the job just as well. You can do the same with Lawler, but it will take multiple people if you want to fill each job he does. It's worthwhile to keep around one of your main tv announcers because he brings something major to the show each week. With the ring announcer, hearing Fink brings back memories for people who have watched forever, but most people wouldn't notice him not being there.

Because Jerry Lawler is a 60 year old who makes rare ring appearances, will always be taken seriously regardless of his age, and will always help make his opponents look good. Howard Finkel is an old dude who says peoples names before their match.

They were talking about guys cheating, IIRC.

I thought he looked awesome. Threw a great dropkick.

Yeah, the guest commentary is optional.

Yeah, I get that Dave's a busy dude and without Alvarez, we wouldn't currently have the Observer in an online format. I've just been baffled as to why Dave hasn't found someone else to host the site for his newsletter that isn't looking to take advantage of all the eyeballs he brings to it. It's like Bill James joining Deadspin because they offered to give him an online voice.

But like Kevin Nash, he's not nearly as funny as he thinks he is.

Is Dave oblivious to the fact that Alvarez is a tool and is making his shit look lower rent because of the people he keeps as hangers on, or is Dave cool with all that?

Yeah, I don't think you understand the argument. Wrestling and MMA share a lot of fans.

Newest update: Ricky Steamboat's condition has been upgraded to stable, but he is likely to be hospitalized for some time after suffering a brain aneurysm last night in Tampa.

Anyone have pictures of Savage under the hood as Mr. Madness? I don't recall ever seeing it on television (was he even working television at the time?) and don't remember ever seeing any evidence of it.

It depends on how long they were working with expired visas. If they expired and just flew home to avoid trouble, it might not be a problem. If they got caught working with no visa, and actually got deported, it's trouble. Maybe WWE being a huge household name of a company will help move things along quickly, but it's usually pretty sticky.

Is there a place to download the Maria shoot? I'm not paying for that shit.
