And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

You'll hit your head and say: 'Boy, how stupid could I have been. A moron could've figured this out. I must be a real dimwit. A pathetic nimnal. A wretched idiotic excuse for a human being for not having figured these simple puzzles out in the first place...As usual, you've been a real pantload!
Late posting but that was some classic steamroller at the beginning of the episode

Most Disgusting Promotional Tactic is TNA for suspending Del Rio for being the victim of domestic abuse.

It's a close race, and I wouldn't begrudge anyone for voting either way, but WWE is fronting their cancer charity push with someone who once said that he was glad Bobby Heenan had cancer, not to mention all the other lovely horrible things Warrior ever said.

And I mean all the charges against Alberto were dropped. I'm not, in any way whatsoever, trying to defend him or this push, but sadly "if he was THAT bad he'd be in prison!" is how a lot of people think.

Even if he's completely innocent of all wrongdoing, making an angle of "TNA screwed me over for suspending me when I was accused of assaulting a woman" is spectacular in its shittiness and was the primary main event title on their "WrestleMania".

Though an argument can be made that TNA made no money on this while Komen probably made a buttload off Warrior.

Yeah it's also important to remember that the breast cancer org in question is a bunch of scummy bullshit too. Like I said it's a close race but the TNA stuff is sort of run of the mill wrestling sleaze. WWE is managing to make partnering with a cancer charity a giant embarrassment. That's an awardworthy achievement imo.

he knows...


Aries was actually pretty reasonable about his approach to veganism even if he did pepper discussion with the occasional pseudoscientific nugget. And then he was very candid about his time in WWE and his place in wrestling at this point in his career.

Aaaaand then he made sure to say that fluoride causes autism in the last 30 seconds of the interview. So close, Austin, so close.
