  1. Oh trump lied? What a shocker. But damn those progressives.
  2. Oh so you prefer to embrace conspiracies rather then facts. The Steele dossier has not been debunked. It’s transparent when you say that. Turn fox off.
  3. CNN is largely the most fair and balanced newscast. It just is.
  4. Hahaha no it hasn’t!!! The Steele dossier has been mostly confirmed. Dude stop believing fox!
  5. I think trump is confused. Also he clearly thought his gop pals could vote the trial down before it got this far. I mean, that’s why he bowed to their pressure to take out the Iran general isn’t it?
  6. Makes sense to have a free version. Her those people in between cord cutting and loading up on streaming. The future is streaming. It won’t be cheaper than cable but you’ll have more content and better options.
  7. Just about the same as last week. Good for both.
  8. Interesting isn’t it? Had she sent them over when the House voted the senate would have acquitted trump already. They still will but they’ll have to wear it throughout the election that they ignored evidence and refuses to hear from witnesses who wanted to testify.
  9. He’s been a commentator for years for wwe and Impact and I don’t recall any issues. He’s good at it and they seem to like him. I’d like to see AEW work on developing new talent in those roles rather then rehashing but I can understand that for a national broadcast they need experienced people.
  10. So NBC’s streaming services. Among the new shows are revivals of: Punky Brewster Saved By The Bell Battlestar Galactica Real Housewives it will be the streaming home for The office (which is a blow to Netflix), Frasier etc And maybe an Office revival? Should be more info out later today.
  11. I was really intrigued by the premise actually. Their problem was how poor it looked having two white guys developing it.
  12. He’ll be in broadcasting. He did Dark as a guest commentator and was on Dynamite last week. Presumably he passed the try out. He’s good in that role and is suspect it’s because of the expanding tv footprint.
  13. Great so when is he going to be indicted
  14. Meanwhile Barr’s DOJ doesn’t care. Keep in mind this bombshell evidence from Parnas is only public because he asked a judge to allow him to give it to the House. The DOJ has the evidence for weeks and did nothinf with it. Cover up.
  15. That’s fantastic! I was tempted to go this year. looks like a hell of a good time. the boys love it too. I was talking to Dalton Castle about it and he said they all got together the day before the cruise last year and went out for dinner and they were all not looking forward to it. Obvious reasons. Being stuck on a boat with crazy fans. But he said they all ended up loving it and really enjoying their time with the fans. this year even better with AEW tv. I’m jealous! Will you have wifi? Give us some updates!
  16. The clowns are marching in now. Press secretary trying to laugh off Parnas since he had a company called fraud guarantee. Ummmm so why was rudy working with him? Trying to say well what he says about rudy has nothing to do with trump. man...they really are going to throw rudy under the bus aren’t they.
  17. No I only meant among certain people here. Lol
  18. Real strong episode of aew tonight. Weak part belonging to Brandi’s segment again but show was entertaining over all. Sammy is a million bucks. Kid is everything. Kenny is as over as anyone. Mox too. Next week they’re on the cruise. Should be pretty damn unique
  19. Probably a scenario where maybe some players were unhappy combined with a coach they loved coming available.
  20. Gop coronating trump as king they let all this new evidence disappear. But yeah Bernie vs Liz is definitely the big news of the day lol
  21. Quick Meltzer bio Rocky "Soulman" Johnson, the father of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and one of the most agile heavyweight wrestlers of the 70s, passed away today. Brian Blair, the head of the Cauliflower Alley Club, and a friend of Johnson's, said that he had been ill over the last two weeks. Johnson was 75. Johnson was born Wayde Douglas Bowles in Amherst, Nova Scotia. While a pro wrestler, he worked as a sparring partner for Muhammad Ali, George Foreman and Henry Clark, and boxing combinations and the Ali shuffle were a big part of his pro wrestling comebacks. He was the king of the dropkicks in the 70s. Even though he was built like a thick bodybuilder, 6 feet and 255 pounds, he was generally considered the most agile heavyweight in the industry at the time. He had the highest dropkicks, very similar to Kazuchika Okada today or Jim Brunzell in the 80s, but even more impressive in that he usually did a series of three dropkicks, all high, leading to his usual Boston crab finish. He also would land on his feet after high backdrops. Johnson, while being based in California, began dating and married Ata Maivia, the daughter of Peter Maivia, who was a frequent tag team partner. On May 2, 1972, the couple, living in Hayward, CA, gave birth to their only child, Dwayne. Johnson had two children from a prior marriage. The couple split up and Johnson married Sheila Northern, a longtime wrestling fan. Johnson, who legally changed his name to Rocky Johnson during his career, started wrestling in Nova Scotia in 1964. By 1966 he was working the top circuits in Canada like Maple Leaf Wrestling, International Wrestling and Stampede Wrestling, and captured the Canadian Open tag team title with Don Leo Jonathan in 1967. His combination of fire and agility, along with an impressive physique made him a headliner from 1966 on. He had a run as world tag team champion in Detroit in 1969 with Ben Justice, and then came to Los Angeles in 1970 during a wrestling boom. Johnson won the first-ever major Los Angeles Battle Royal, and the Americas title from the Great Kojika, on the same night. He was the top babyface in the territory until the turn of Fred Blassie, after the two had a big money singles program. He then had a long tenure in San Francisco, where he would be remembered as one of the biggest stars in the history of Roy Shire's Big Time Wrestling. Always a babyface, was both a singles headliner at the Cow Palace, and tag team headliner with partners like Ray Stevens, Pat Patterson, Maivia and Pepper Gomez. He remained a headliner, being one of the biggest draws in the history of the Tennessee territory for his matches with Jerry Lawler, where he started out in 1976 with a storyline that he was a top-ten ranked boxer who had never wrestled, doing a boxer vs wrestler program with Lawler to take advantage of the topical Muhammad Ali vs. Antonio Inoki program. He remained one of the most in-demand wrestlers in the country, working different territories, where he almost always won the top singles title, as well as the major markets like St. Louis, Houston and sometimes Tennessee or San Francisco as a fly-in star. He was a frequent opponent of both Terry Funk and Harley Race as world champion and would be ranked as one of the bigger stars for Sam Muchnick of the 70s. On the biggest night of pro wrestling in the 70s, the night of the Ali vs. Inoki closed circuit show, Johnson was chosen on one of the regional undercards broadcast in many NWA cities and territories to face Terry Funk in a match in Houston for the NWA title. He also worked under a mask as Sweet Ebony Diamond in the Carolinas. He is a member of the St. Louis Wrestling Hall of Fame and the WWE Hall of Fame. He was the first wrestler of his race to hold the Georgia state title and the first to hold any title in the WWF, when he and Tony Atlas, called The Soul Patrol, beat The Wild Samoans, Afa & Sika, to win the tag team title. The team didn't get along outside the ring and was broken up quickly, losing to **** Murdoch & Adrian Adonis. When Dwayne Johnson, a childhood wrestling fan who moved from territory to territory while growing up, was cut from the Canadian Football League, he asked his father to train him for pro wrestling. Rocky Johnson was very negative on his son becoming a wrestler, but eventually he and Ron Slinker trained Johnson, and through Rocky Johnson's longtime friendship with Pat Patterson, brought Patterson in on a session. Patterson reported to Vince McMahon that Dwayne Johnson had more potential to be a pro wrestling star than anyone he had ever seen, and recommended they sign him. Johnson worked a little with his son as a rookie, and later worked as a coach for WWE developmental in Louisville but had been out of pro wrestling.
  22. To clarify, the old deal was TNT paid production costs ($400,000 or so per week) and split ad revenue with AEW. This new deal requires AEW to cover their own production costs but they get $45 million per year and continue to get a cut of ad revenue. Pretty big raise. According to big Dave, this makes them profitable this year.
  23. Yeah its popular for certain alt right supporters to pretend to be anti trump because its really embarrassing to admit you're a trump fan. But he's totally their dream. You see it in how many GOP fell in line behind him and you start to realize that any sense of moderation or centrist-ness was a sham. If Trump put on a white hood in the Oval office, the GOP would cheer him on.
