    In other Dudley-related news, I wonder if we're going to find out who took out Bully Ray on Impact. Y'know, seeing as Bully Ray is still listed on the TNA roster 4 days after showing up on RAW and announcing they signed a long term deal.

    I find it harder and harder to remember that TNA still exists.

    Depending on how far ahead the pre-taped events are we may experience a Rick Rude situation where Bully Ray is on both companies shows.

    IIRC, Bully Ray wasn't on the most recent tapings. He basically showed up, took one look at the sorry state the company was in, and nope'd right the fuck out of there.

    He came back for one or two weeks to be their GM, and then bailed 2 weeks later (a month ago). They wrote him out by basically saying he was attacked by
    Chris Mordetzky from GFW (formerly Chris Masters from WWE) so Jarrett could become GM and do a GFW vs TNA feud

    I hate that I remember all of that

    As far as attitude era bellwethers for insane bumps and reckless endangerment, I'd think Angle/Shane from KotR takes the cake. It was my favorite match at the time, but it is hard to watch now, especially knowing just how injured those guys were by thr dumb shit like overhead suplexes through non-gimmicked glass, and head first crashes into concrete when said glass wouldn't break.

    One of my other favorite brutal matches is entering queasy territory as well: Danielson vs. McGuinness at ROH United. The story-telling is still great, but Nigel's head turning into ground beef at the end of the bout is terrifying considering how quickly his career ended from doing that shit to himself.

    So will the Dudleys be doing the creepy thing where they spend a month obsessing over a woman in the WWE and then slam that woman into a table like they did during the attitude era?

    "During the attitude era"

    like Bully Ray didn't spend months obsessing with putting Dixie through a table in [BIGFOOT WRESTLING LEAGUE]

    Edit: that joke backfired, because now i want bigfoot wrestling

    To be fair, I imagine a lot of people working for [MYSTERY WRESTLE VORTEX] probably would wanna put her through a table at some point.

    Observer Live has had King of Trios preview interviews all this week, featuring Kevin Condron, Eddie Kingston, MAX SMASHMASTER and Juan Francisco de Coronado. I don't know who they're going to have on today but it's probably going to be somebody.

    Well, it's probably because if anyone knows about hard times, it's Dusty and Boss Man.

    I actually met Booker T in a Best Buy and we talked about Junkyard Dog. This was like a month after he wrestled HHH for the title at Wrestlemania 19. Booker's a cool guy.

    The only wrestler or celeb for that matter I have ever met outside of a planned appearance was the Million Dollar Man. I was behind him in line for Food at a Disney Resort. I was actually surprised at how big he was up close, considering for a wrestler he was never really all that huge. Hands like dinner plates.

    Question: has there ever been a tag titles ladder match where two members of different teams are either both dangling from the belts and manage to unhook them and fall or get to them at the same time and thus have to share the title together and essentially form a new tag team?

    Seems like a potentially fun story

    That almost happened in one of the TLC matches. Christian and Matt Hardy were on top of a table that was propped up on two ladders and were fighting over the belts.

    Unfortunately it ended with Christian knocking Matt off the table and grabbing the titles.

    edit: it was WM2000 and it was just a ladder match(that happened to involve tables). And it was Edge knocking Matt off the table. At least I got some of it right!

    Was that the time Edge just kind of swiped near Hardy and he launched himself off in a ridiculous manner?

    Yeah, it looked like they wanted to do something more but the table set up was so precarious that they probably just called an audible and went with the buttshove.

    Paul Hayman's Smackdown was ludicrously filled with week-in-week-out ladder matches. It was crazy nuts.

    I have a thoughtful and infrequently updated blog about games http://whatithinkaboutwhenithinkaboutgames.wordpress.com/

    I made a game, it has penguins in it. It's pay what you like on Gumroad.

    In addition to Kana, WWE has apparently signed Athena, who I know nothing about but I'm sure someone here will.

    Also, "kayfabe" has been added to the dictionary. And "awesomesauce", because humanity is doomed.

    and Mai Waifu as of now (poor attempt at ironic humor)

    the two terms are not equivalent

    "waifu" is an inherently infantilizing and objectifying word. It carries with it a level of disrespect similar to referring to women wrestlers as "the girls"

    The term "my waifu" is based around an engrish version of "my wife" and I might be reading way to much into it but putting that to a real Japanese person kind of wigs me out.
