Placebo Effect

Tenay yelling "My God!" when they went to commercial after the 4LK segment was awful. And I don't usually mind Tenay. Abyss shouldn't have gone done to just a Twist of Fate. Even with the weak chairshot, it would've been nice to end it with a Swanton. No Rhyno run-in to end the show? Only smarks know that Gayda is Haas' wife, so whatever. It's going to be a crappy angle though.

Yep. Season 4 is the 10 episodes that aired last Spring.

Hard to really be sad since he lived a full life and died of natural causes, but Morita was awesome. I'm glad he got to lend his voice to Robot Chicken before he died.

I doubt it. UPN is trying to change the image of their network, and the ratings have improved, albeit not a lot. It's opposite Lost too, so that helps their case.

Exactly. Absurdity with tons of little angles > Blandness with lower card guys completly ignored.

Benoit and Booker have never 'clicked.' As a result, WCW naturally put them in the ring for seven matches together in the span of three weeks, none of which topped *** at the most.

Chairshots are a very, very, very small part of the problem. Chairshots do not hurt nearly as bad as you think, as wrestlers can protect themselves quite well.

I was wondering that myself. It was funny as hell but I thought it was just some random Seth non sequitor. Any background info is appreciated. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It doesn't really have much of a backstory.

You must have missed the time William Regal peed on The Big Show. It was green, for god sake. Another WTF angle/segment was in WCW (surprise) when The Giant just started smoking for no reason. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So Heenan could crack "It's gonna stunt his growth!" jokes. I also think it was some sort of jab at The Giant, as he was out of shape and since he was/is a smoker, they blamed his lack of cardio on the smoking.

WCW did this back in the day a few times. They had one particular drug test occur at a WCW Saturday Night taping, which shockingly did not have Luger or Scott Steiner booked on it.

Since week one of Impact on Spike TV.

Meh episode with an awful third act. A lot of the flashbacks fell flat (the Jesus one in particular, and the Jew joke was lifted right from America: The Book), and the Chris/Creepy Old Man storyline failed to deliver a SINGLE good joke, and a horrendous song that is probably the worst thing Family Guy's ever done. "Why are you dressed like Rerun?" was great, as was Peanut Butter Jelly Time and a few things in-between. This is the only Family Guy since its return that I immediately deleted from my TiVo instead of eventually watching it for a second time.

Ahhh, forgot about Family Guy. That can go right above Seinfeld on my list and knock Strangers With Candy to number six.

1) The Simpsons 2) Arrested Development 3) Seinfeld 4) South Park 5) Strangers With Candy

Here's a great WCW 2000 one. Kronic vs. Big Vito/Reno at Starrcade - Reno had spent the last month getting the shit beat out of him by Kronic. At the PPV he turns on Vito and reveals that he had been paying Kronic to attack him, just so he could get revenge on Vito.

Tenay's been screaming for quite sometime now. Remember the annoying "DAMN YOU, RUSSO!!!" when Russo first appeared on TNA in 2002? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "GOLDYLOCKS YOU WHORE!"

Face it. "Wrestler A costs Wrestler B a match" is ALWAYS going to be used when building up feuds. It will be used until the end of time.

Joe's squash was awesome with a nice post-match promo by AJ. I'm guessing it took him ten takes to do it right. Jeff Jarrett. Yay. Sonny Siaki and Apolo are just around to serve as mucular jobbers, and they did their job well tonight. Hot little tag match between them and AMW. D-Von has no business being shirtless, regardless of how many gallons of oil he dumps on his chest before coming out. More Russoriffic booking, as instead of doing a regular PPV match followed by a gimmick PPV match, they're skipping right to the gimmick. How the hell does Gail Kim have Zbyszko's cell phone number? Wouldn't they have used that BEFORE screaming at Tenay? God I hate this 3LK-Billy Gunn bullshit. Hopefully Killings turns heel by December. Laziest resthold ever by Abyss. The fans' hugely positive response to Christian is going to help him in the eyes of the marks. On the other hand, Monty Brown commenting on Christian's clothes is going to help no one.

Actual music during the opening video! Not great music, but music nonetheless.

Sex with Missy Hyatt.

I think Isaac Hayes is just happy to get occasional paychecks.

Larry David has NO connection to AD. It's Ron Howard that does.

Ahhh fuck Bigelow. He was a joke after 1994, and didn't care enough to even hit the Greetings From Asbury Park right half the time. Plus, he was an asshole on the two occasions I met him.

Another great episode. I'm digging the show even more without Wallace to bring it down. The last five minutes of that episode were so beyond awesome. That awesome song playing in the background and the long overdue dimension addition to Lamb's character was awesome. And next week's episode looks even better. Holy shit.

"We're usually on my boat if you want to come around, smoke a J, and fool around." So freakin' unexpected.
