Melanie Pillman has passed away.

RIP

That woman has had a rough life. Still remember that interview Vince did with her the day after Brian died.... talk about distasteful and awkward. That DSOTR episode really shed a gloomy light on her life.

Sorry, I'll see myself out now

I dunno why I did not make the joke myself actually.

[Al]

I was actually surprised that Brian Jr. put out a great statement about a woman who he obviously did not have a great relationship with.

Janelly's brain is mashed potatoes and gravy, bubbas.

Not only is that one of the stupidest explanations I've heard, but the spot looked like absolute shit. You want a fire spot done right you take a page out of Kenoh's book 

 

[sek69]

I think I would risk having a reaction to the fire extinguisher chemicals over, y'know, having my leg burn off. 

[Al]

Or worse. What if he kicks the boot off and it flies into the audience? You really don’t want to fuck around with fire if you don’t know what you’re doing. 

[sek69]

Or if you are going to fuck around with fire, be damn sure you have the means to put it out if things get out of hand.

Read about Kane Hodder and fire

TIL There's a Bret Harte Middle School in San Jose. Disappointingly, no-one has stolen the last "e" from the sign.

[NintendoLogic]

There are a number of schools and roads in California named after Bret Harte (not the Hitman obviously but a 19th-century writer known for his short stories about the California Gold Rush). There's even a town named after him.

[Dav'oh]

My garage would be full of pilfered "E"s and no road sign would be safe if I lived in California. I used to live on Tucker Rd, but never defaced the signs because they were already, perpetually, defaced. And I'm too mature

You've just basically described Joey Janela's entire Twitter feed and Joey Janela himself. The man constantly comes across as a dimwitted man-child putz.

The Tiger Jeet Singh school in Canada is the real deal though.

Meltzer needs to roll over there with Wrestling with Shadows.

[KawadaSmile]

Timothy Thatcher is in NOAH what the fuck I guess I'll go back to that promotion now

[Flyin' Brian]

Here's something interesting that just got brought to my attention. 

 

 

[strobogo]

I'd like to see someone bring back Verne Gagne's running shoulder block back body drop. It kind of evolved into the front chopblock sold by the guy doing a flipping bump, but Verne's version was way cool and would get a big reaction.

Sometimes I wonder if Bo Dallas will ever come back to wrestling. He always seemed to be the better Windham bro when it came to both being a wrestler and being a good WWE wrestler. Dude was always killing it no matter what dumb shit they wanted him to do, and he never got a fair chance at anything past NXT level because he didn't have the right physique. I mean, dude did the best he could considering the genetics he had to work with. 

Unfortunately, he seems to be yet another person WWE beat the love of pro wrestling out of.

[KawadaSmile]

Still one of the best NXT Champs ever. Might still be top 5. 

But hey, dude has a farm and IIRC is still dating Liv Morgan. Life is good.

[NintendoLogic]

Also, he was part of the funniest thing that has ever happened in a wrestling ring.

[Clayton Jones]

Not that it negates that he had some good stretches here and there but didn't he end up being yet another conspiracy theory idiot manchild? Or something along those lines?

Yeah, he did have some weird intoxicated episodes on airports as well. Not great moments, but those conspiracies seem so off the fucking wall they are mostly on the harmless side of things.

[Embrodak]

Wait have we hit the point of Bo Dallas nostalgia now? He was roundly criticized as one of the sloppiest, least coordinated, least-compelling performers on the roster during his NXT run as a face, slightly enjoyed as a heel but still frequently criticized as being bad in the ring, then his main roster run was him doing a motivational lap around the ring and getting squashed. The only truly memorable Bo stuff I can remember was him continually trying to sneak back into Full Sail, which was indeed hilarious. Bray was absolutely better than him, let’s not gaslight ourselves now.

[KawadaSmile]

I always thought he was the better brother, to be fair. Bray always pissed me off with his promos that led to nowhere and were so "deep" in meaning.

In a vacuum he wasn't great, but his reign was well booked IMO. Great delusional heel. Plus he actually won a rap battle against Flo Rida which will never not be funny

[Embrodak]

Bray was an incredibly wasted opportunity, but he could go in the ring way better than Bo, limitations and all.
