Heyman: @WWE ‪#Raw1000‬ @CharlieSheen is ‪#LEAVING‬ the Twitterverse. Of all the things Charlie needs 2 quit, he picks TWITTER?!?

So Sheen apparently drops Twitter right before he's supposed to be Raw's Twitter ambassador? I don't know who to :lol: towards/weep for.

Something tells me he does. Even though the apology was a little disingenuous, I don't think the initial tweet really came from a place of malice or hatred.

I've said it before in the other thread, but at least he didn't use the stupid cop-out "IF I offended anyone" line.

It certainly seems suspicious, and that was probably what he meant, but he said "understood English well enough," and considering I have had problems with boring white people understanding what I say at Starbucks, I actually read it as "these stupid kids today" initially as well.

Though the idea that someone hearing Jim Ross talk for the first time would be 100% likely to understand him is probably the missing link here. The first time you hear someone speak perfect English with a new accent, you might be confused enough to need them to repeat it. Might!

"I'd like a small coffee."

"Our tall-small, or our short-tall? Is that bold, medium, or blond?"

"What in sam hell are you talking about? I said a small coffee."

All sorts of things can go wrong at a Starbucks.

Most people don't deserve rights n need ppl like Swagger/Coulter to tell them what's good for them. #InternmentCamps #MartialLaw

I have a feeling he was trolling.

Striker's been going Republican Heel on Main Event or whatever other shows he still commentates on, but I can't for the life of me remember the context of it (probably a Cesaro or del Rio match). I'm fairly sure it's part of his character at the moment, which of course doesn't say anything one way or the other about what his actual political leanings are (not that I care).

This pissed me off so loving much. Michael Cole and Lawler would both start literal pissing matches with him because he would correct them when they called spots in the ring and actually bother to put over the guys in the ring instead of plugging inane bullshit. They just wouldn't shut the gently caress up and let him do the thing all 3 of them were supposedly getting paid to do.

Figurative pissing matches, otherwise we would have had a whole series of additional problems.

"Well, not literally kicked his head off. His head is still on his shoulders. Figuratively is the word you're looking for." God I loved it when Striker went all :eng101: on Lawler.

ROH did a tag match with Misawa, Kenta, Marufuji and Morishima as a main event and it was a 30 minute draw. The finish sees Misawa and I think Morishima battling for a big move to lead to the nearfall at the time limit, except GLF and crew start chanting 10 9 8 7... as they set up. The wrestlers are kind of left unable to do the move they planned as these dumbfucks have killed the timing of the match.

My god, that's some amazing level of asshattery there.

DDP is the most positive carny, which comes off way better than the typical old carny wrestlers.

He was on an interview on CBC Radio last week and was able to turn literally every question he got into a minimum 45-second shill for his latest DDP Yoga DVD or the Jake the Snake doc he's working on. It was kind of awesome and frustrating at the same time.

because it's a seasonal item and is currently out of season

this press conference is over

The PSL syrup/potion/abomination comes into stores only for the fall. Sometimes it'll come a few weeks before they launch the seasonal marketing blitz. There's no secret code other than "did you get the PSL in yet?" and if anyone tells Punk otherwise they're probably going to end up giving him and AJ an untested and "improvised" beverage.

Personally if WWE just did a 1 hour Divas brand show with Paige, Emma, the Bellas, Natalya, Naomi, Charlotte, Banks, Lynch, and Bayley I'd probably be satisfied and never complain about a RAW Diva segment again.

I still really wished WWE felt motivated to use the Network to test out alternative products like that just to see how it would go over.

I'm pretty sure making an entire 1-hour Divas show that isn't poo poo is a hell of a lot more of a pipe dream than hoping for one not-poo poo Divas segment on Raw each week.
