      As of tonight, It’s going to come in right at Tampa, and head straight at Orlando. It’s going to remain a hurricane through it’s entire stay in Florida. Hopefully WWE has helped the NXT and Performance center people escape, traffic on TV looks horrible.

      I know last week we underestimated what was coming and now half of Georgia and NC are in bad shape and this hurricane looks bigger. The weather people are now saying, if you don’t leave, you will die to people living at the coast.

    I just want to let everyone know, now that Jimmy is back, I will be changing my ring tone to Becky’s theme to bring her back. It worked with Jimmy and Roman

          Ok, WWE is leaving money on the table here.

          I know “Atomic Bell” is just some stock ringtone, but just think about it. You get an overweight female wrestler, with blonde hair to be the antithisis of the Kelly Kelly type. She starts her match TRYING to be the ditzy dumb blonde, but then sometime in the match she gets mad at having to conform to societial norms. She gets angry at having to hide her body.

          So just like kurt angle doing the straps down, she tears away her top to reveal her hidden ring attire, which is radioactive themed. She puts on a pair of goggles, goes to the top rope, and does a canon ball. In the midst of doing this canon ball, her blonde wig falls off to reveal a completely shaven head. The move is called “The Atomic Bomb”, and she’s the kayfabe daughter of Adam Bomb.

          …ok, I can see why they haven’t done this gimmick yet. It’s TOO good! It would break the world ecenomy, and give WWE all the money in the world!

    We watched a bunch of Hey EWs today, as well as the one episode of Meal and a Match. That was way more than I wanted to see of either Penta or Fenix’s faces.

    Hey EW is so fucking funny. We watched all of Danhausen, Juice Robinson, Ricochet (no one told this man it was a joke interview), The Outrunners (funniest fucking youngest men alive), and MxM. Such a good time. Does anybody have some favorites they wanna share?

      My favs are the ones with (fake or real) language barriers cause RJ just goes off and things get awkward. Mina, Aminata (she knows english but didnt get most of RJ’s jokes), Penta (cause he keeps up the “i dont know English” schtick despite being fluent), Abadon, Mortos.

        Penta is fucking fluid fluent? I almost thought that one time but brushed it off. That is my favorite one.

        There is no place for hate in professional wrestling, but for today only, I am Penta Hate

    Not sure if anyone else ever watched G Gundam, but I’m rewatching it for the first time since it was on Toonami a good 20+ years ago. I just got to an episode where two Gundams have an electrified exploding barbed wire cagematch. They could have done more with the cage and spent less time in flashbacks, 2½ stars. The show usually doesn’t have any wrestling overtones so it was a bit out of left field.
