Hell, even Punk's pipebomb and WWE Championship walk out resulted in a job to Triple H, a job in the Hell in a Cell, and then a job as Triple H's tag team partner.

That's on the WWE, though. I think a pipebomb promo is a fun thing every now and then. I enjoyed Punk's, I thought AJ's was okay, but the problem with them is that any follow up in entirely on the WWE's shoulders. If Punk hadn't gotten HHH-ed, that whole story would have been amazing. The pipe bomb attacks the WWE, and if the WWE could get its head out of its rear end they could have done something fun with it.

Honestly though, after AJ's promo I agree the WWE probably needed to send some sort of message backstage to get people to stop copying it. It could be a fun moment every couple of years or so, otherwise you have Miz and Ziggler just bitching every week about how lovely they have it. Even if they do, you gotta capitalize when you're actually rising to the top.

The "WWE Sign Guy" has been more in the WWE than Colt Cabana.

That dude randomly showed up to an Andrew WK concert this past Saturday in Dallas.



I looked at him, did a double take, then next thing you know he storms the stage and Andrew WK totally goes "let's hear it for WWE Sign Guy!" and my mind just collapsed on itself.

CM Punk, crucified in the middle of the ring, with Stephanie threatening to resign him against his will. Who will save him? Glass shatters, AJ runs down and clears house.

I like how as more people speak up, Demott is gradually becoming the Bill Cosby of wrestling.

That's giving him way too much credit. I'm sorry, I just don't see how Demott is somehow more qualified than literally any other has-been who picks up training people. If the WWE wants to keep the retard around, at least explain what he does that's somehow so great for developing young talent. If all they have is "pushes them hard, is an abusive cockhead" for training qualities, they've got the right guy but they could still find thousands more like him.


I guess I'm saying I find Demott completely expendable to the whole developing process, and until someone can explain to me why he's not I'm just gonna keep hoping he gets fired.

I'll remember AJ because I made her laugh at Axxess. I goon'd it up, acting like I was gonna ask for her number or something dumb like that, and asked for her DS friend code instead.

She then took the time to explain to me how she got in a lot of trouble when she gave out her Xbox Live username on the air. She found it all pretty funny though.

I just made myself sad.

I don't know why I find this so funny, but I do. Maybe because the image of Punk actually beating up Hulk Hogan is A+ stuff. I think he could do it, mind you, but still. It'd be really funny to watch.

There's a classic story about Norm MacDonald and Stallone. When MacDonald did weekend update he made a LOT of jokes based around how awful Sylvester's brother Frank was as a singer. Like every weekend update had a shot at Frank, they were great. But Sylvester felt bad for his little brother being a laughingstock and quietly asked Norm while he was meeting the cast before hosting the show, to lay off the Frank jokes as a favor. So Norm had a great idea, he said "I'll do that if you do one sketch I wrote without any changes at all." Sylvester, being a good brother accepted the terms and this, video is what they made

http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/bad-stallone-movies/n11010

Seriously it's a funny sketch on it's own, but the story behind it makes it so much better

That is amazing. What a great guy.

not sure that makes sense. seems like his face being famous would just compound with his existing fame since it is his face which I would argue is the single physical feature that is most often used to identify someone. if there are any people that are aware of him outside of botchamania, and surely there are many since he has been in the business for a long time and probably was known to older fans that don't follow a web video series, then the addition of those people to people aware of the face would disprove your assumption


We live in a world of internet memes, friend, and I find it more likely Cornette's face has been used as a reaction face and nicknamed something dumb like "SurprisedDad.jpeg"

I mean, I know who he is but I'm also old enough to be familiar with some of his years in the business. Can't say the same for everyone though.
