I get excited when there’s no comments because I feel like I’ve won a race for treasure or something.
Congrats Nicholas Cage!
That’s high praise coming from Mr Snrub.
I miss your old avatar, Alex.
I leave it up to you, the With Leather Universe, to decide the fate of my avatar…

#AlexUSAGuy…great now I’m doing it too.
Did you guys see the Tank Abbot post Brandon put up today? I’ve been laughing all day. We need to someone to buy this thing and do a chapter-by-chapter review.
+1 to Duchess for Eve-atar.

That cat was a landmark in scrolling through comments….
I had this weird thing where I actually thought of Alex* as an actual Catperson. Tobogganing Bear too.
Here’s where we stand. Reminder, poll closes at midnight, (pacific).

This Business Cat wins! Thank you for voting.
Been hitting refresh every few minutes, it’s finally here!!! Best time of the day, every Tuesday.
So has Boob Zipper taken over the top spot on the “Embarrassing Diva Attire”? I thought Layla’s Boob LOL would never be taken down.
I read that as “Boob Ziggler” and I was confused.
I also read Boob Ziggler and was sexually confused… oh that’s not what you wrote. Why am I hitting post comment without editing this!
Layla’s LOL Boob sign is still worse than Aksana’s Boob Zipper.
I declare that Texas Stars jersey to be the real incriminating evidence. St. John’s IceCaps all up in this piece!
I want Buddy the Puffin back in Toronto!! Boo St. John’s. Boooooo.
Buddy is a relatable everypuffin.
Give me a break, they’re like 10 minutes from my house!
He’s a true delight and I miss him terribly.
I can’t judge, I live in Toronto. If I want to see an NHL game for under $200, I have to take the bus to Buffalo. (On the plus side, I can visit the Rick James Museum & Science Centre when I’m there.)
T-Boggs, if you’re lying to me about there being a Rick James Museum in Buffalo, I’m gonna be disappointed, but not terribly, because I’m not planning on going there anyways.
Come on, Sabres games are the best! Remember when Craig Rivet was thing? Neither does Buffalo! Ohohoho.
But in all seriousness, Sabres games are great. I feel way more at home in the HSBC than I ever have at the ACC. The only downside is that at no point did they discount Afinogenov jersies, so alas, no Max jersey for me.
John John – i might be fibbing about the Rick James thing, but there’s an honest to goodness Ghost/Johnny Rzenick Tour you can take in Buffalo. That’s worth the trip alone.
FembotDanielle – I haven’t been to either arena yet for a game (I’ve only been living in Toronto for a lil bit), but I’m glad to hear that Sabres games are the better option. I’m guessing there were no Afinogenov jerseys because he’s in the “Alumni Plaza”. No word on if Steve Shields, Doug Bodger or a sculpture made out of Patrick Kaleta’s old shin pad tape are in the Alumni Plaza as well.
You should absolutely go! Pegula’s put in a bunch of small but noticeable improvements to the arena, and tickets are pretty reasonable. We have a mini-pack even though we live in Burlington, but it’s still way better than fighting to get shitty tickets to see the Leafs. Plus, no Dion Phaneuf! The Sabres will charge more for Canadian teams (as most fans are from across the border anyways), so games against teams like Los Angeles (yay!) get relegated to Bronze level and are even more affordable.
Also, eff Kaleta. The sooner he’s out of the league, the better.
That settles it, I’m gonna go to Buffalo to check out a game. I’ll see you and your pals there in 2015! (Or whenever the lockout gets sorted.)
Huzzah!
And if it’s not back by February for the Kings game, shit’s gonna get real.
I miss the old Buffalo Auditorium. Just a little. I went there to see UFC 7 and a couple of different Leafs games. We even ripped a large Leaf logo (they used to have logos for all the NHL teams bolted to the wall in the concourse) of the wall and smuggled it out. Really, it was a repatriation. Crossing the border with it was a great moment in the unwritten history of Canada.
The NHL lockout is completing my awful year as a Philadelphia sports fan (and Boston basketball fan, long story but I don’t root for the Sixers): Phillies shit the bed, Eagles meltdown, and one of the most likeable Flyers teams of my life can’t follow up because the league is locked out.
Also, if y’all haven’t you have to get on the bootleg Chinese jersey wagon. I have two and they’re wonderful.
Aud history that isn’t a lock of Rick Jeanneret’s hair? That’s quite the get! (Seriously, the Buffalo Auditorium was one of those places I’d see on TV and get weirdly enchanted by. Also the guy with spotlight seemed super trigger happy and would put it on folks after anything he assumed was a goal.)
Tease-a-Louise the lockout’s a bummer. I totally get where you’re coming from SHough610, this lockout has been superfrustrating. (Especially if you’re missing a season of Claude Giroux being awesome.) I’m from Winnipeg originally, so it’s been a kick in the heart of the dick getting the Jets back and having their second season on hold.
was anyone else hoping to see Ryback literally feast on the wwe championship?
True story: I long thought of myself as Cory Matthews. Because like Cory, I have curly hair and was socially awkward in high school and didn’t know where I fit in and my best friend was universally admired by the ladies.
Every segment is made better by a 3MB appearance. Next week they’ll take on Team CoBro ins a Towel Snapping competition.
That photo is totally racist. Just because I’m Canadian doesn’t mean I only eat burritos. Hrmph.
Is it racist to think that you are hired help for Alberto Del Rio?
But I signed on to be the Vickie!
Now see, I know they intended it in a racist way, but why shouldn’t Vickie be eating burritos with Ricardo? One, burritos are delicious. Two, she’s lucha royalty. She should be lounging poolside sipping Patron with Alberto, eating burritos with Ricardo (as it’s been established that Del Rio is kind of a dick to Ricardo and unafraid to feed him to the wolves but is still unswervingly loyal to him), watching Sin Cara botch dives into the deep end, and teaching Dominick Mysterio how to toss folding chairs to his schoolyard bullies and pretend he got hit.
…I want to be /that/ Vickie.
Where do burritos rank on the Jerry Lawler “Best Thing to Come Out of Mexico” list?
Personally, I think it’s totally kinda sexist the way Brandon is holding his burrito. Or sexy. You be the judge!
Hah, did anyone else have SUN: Students Understanding Neighbors? The totally-unintentionally-racist videos about Canada and Mexico? In second grade I learned about Jean-Paul and Julie (said with a totally goofy French accent) who enjoyed maple syrup in Quebec. I also learned about Pedro (the narrator rolled the ‘r’) and Carmen who beat tortillas on a rock and rode a burro. Not making any of this up and it’s HILARIOUS.
IS THAT A VEGAN BURRITO OR A REAL BURRITO, BRANDON STROUD!
Scandalous!
DON’T GIVE ME YOUR ALLEGATIONS, ALEX
allegatortions, chomp chomp
“Allergortions” is how Coach Z would say it.
/Brandon proceeds to eat the burrito like he’s making out with it.
If it is a vegan burrito, it must be using Daiya cheddar-style shreds, because that’s the only vegan “cheese” that looks remotely close to that color!
So wait…what was actually in Brandon’s hand if it wasn’t a burrito?
a smaller burrito
ESCANDALO!
A subway sammich!
Maybe a kitten?
That is a secret that Danielle and I will take to our graves.
A photoshopped picture of Cena’s jorts boner perhaps?
Also another great Best and Worst of….It always makes me extra happy to get home from work on Tuesdays.
i thought the last segment would center around I’ve Vanquished Cena For The Last Time and After A Year I’m Done Wearing HIS Belt… :(
Is it possible for AJ to put that shirt on without assistance?
Oh yeah; you don’t actually tie yourself into those shirts, it’s just an aesthetic thing done to the shirt and then you wear it. Though, ha ha *straight jacket joke here*
*straitjacket
(Ziggler thinks I’m trash because I can’t spell)
There is a discrete folder hidden somewhere on my laptop that applauds your Faye Reagan reference.
Why make it discrete.
there is a folder in a folder in a folder in a folder on my pc that also would applaud if I had any idea who this “Faye Reagan” is.
DD you NEED to google search that right away, but um not on a work pc. Or in a library. Or around anyone else for that matter.
R.C: I seemed to have missed the reference, where is it?
Devil Dinosaur, you being coy with me? I’ve had a very long arduous week of work that does not end with Thanksgiving, unlike most Americans, my brain is not functioning the way it should.
Guilty as charged, I was being coy.
Homework for the Thanksgiving break: Research Faye Reagan and all of her pals. Book report due next Monday!
Knoxville you will not be disappointed. If you need a quick and somewhat “safe” lookup for her go to American Apparel site.
I was also being coy, haha. I’m a Lexi Belle guy though.
Damm all you coy bastards!!! Remy LeBeuax (sp?) and Jessie Andrews are my top 2. Stephanie Swift if my legends choice and Laney Boggs is my rookie of the year.
Christy Mack..
Does Christy Mack also have a White Boy Challenge?
She’s not bad but I’m not a fan of the Suicide Girls/Joanna Angel tattoo scene. I grew up around it so tattoos are old hat for me. To each their own. She is cute though in spite of the Skillrex haircut.
Christy Mack and Alexa Nicole or GTFO
I was born a Sasha Grey man, I’ll die a Sasha Grey man.
I agree with this article, Faye Reagan should guest host an episode of RAW, I mean they had Perez Hilton, so they might as well bring in somebody who menly manly men on testosterone fueled menlynissisteressiness-ous (It’s the leading brand of Man Cancer, or MANCER. Wait, where was I?
Oh yeah, in short Porn should appear more in Wrestling. (I mean porn appearing in wrestling not wrestling appearing in porn, nobody wants to to see wrestling in porn.)
I once tried to incorporate wrestling in to the bedroom, I now have a scar on my forehead.
I think XPW tried it and it wasn’t a good mix. Then again they brought in the D list of the porn world.
Apparently, plenty of people want to see wrestling in porn. Trufax.
I’ve been reading this column way too long when I look at 3 men wearing nothing but towels and a cowboy hat and say to myself “Brandon Stroud is going to best the shit out of this.”
And then, OP delivered.
Page 6 is up!
I NEED to be celebrity guest hosting Raw if that is to be Rosa’s new job description! Book it!!!
I keep imagining Prepico as just Epico showing up with two polo shirts with popped collars, a backwards visor and a sweet pair of plaid shorts.
John John, you are so with it. This is exactly what I was thinking.
i need to see Prepico in real lifes now.
So Kerwin White, but with Epico?
Yes but in wordplay form.
I’m all for it if it means we also unearth the next Ziggler.
(Sorry for the double post, I didn’t mean to put it in a comment the 1st time). Did you guys see the Tank Abbot post Brandon put up today? I’ve been laughing all day. We need to someone to buy this thing and do a chapter-by-chapter review.
i was honestly thinking of buying it an reviewing it for my mma blog (i sent the link to brandon/with leather like five minutes after he posted his article). it shall be done, oh yes, it shall be done.
I can’t wait!
Drew McIntyre only takes off his hat for one thing…
And so I’m calling him “The Bandit” forevermore.
Please tell me 3MB will cut a promo in an early ’77 Trans AM!!!
Gotta mkake this quick cuz my stop is coming but I completely disagree on the bathroom segment. I think it took that stupid angle from a confusing mess straight into a simple bad guy vs good guy feud because you finally got real evidence of what an ass Ziggler is.
Verified
I kind of like the idea of Ziggler as being secretly in love with AJ and this whole thing being his schoolyard way of admitting his crush. His beef with Cena is all jealousy.
Interesting. Taking the long view, it’s something that would make Vicki livid and could set up a Ziggler vs Vicki thing around him eventually cashing in his briefcase. Hmm.
Pfft! Ziggler thinks girls are icky.
Honestly, that’s EXACTLY how I read that segment.
I was absolutely expecting her to start making out with him for calling her trash.
My wife thought the same thing but she also thought Ziggs was really hurting Cena’s ankle. bless her heart.
I agree Dan. I thought they were kind of going that way for a minute.
If this end with AJ going Heel and getting a gimmick that involves having a brain, you have my full sport.
You’ll also have my full support. :)
The asshole in me was gonna correct this right away, the non-asshole decided to let it rock and the kid in me likes fruit and cake.
Just looking at the first page of last year’s Survivor Series report, it’s crazy to think there was a team we begged for even a glimpse of the Chickbusters.
Does it make me a bad person that I find comments from upset moms about their kids crying and throwing out their John Cena gear after last night to be among the funniest things ever?
no can you please compile these? where are they sounds awesome.
I really hated the Green Ranger for a while because he made out with Kimberly. Kids are weird.
imageshack[dot]us/scaled/landing/708/jjyjstj.jpg
I told you: John Cena must remain PURE!
ha! wuuuuut.
I hate other humans sometimes. :/
I like to think that Drew and Jinder were both wearing their wrestling briefs under their towels but not the the One Man Band. He was FREEEEE, FREEEEE BAALLLLLINGGGG

After following this site for almost a year with out an account, I finally got one. Finally somewhere I can talk wrestling without feeling like a 12 year old
Glad to have you around, friend!
You’re welcome here. You’re one of us.
Welcome, beards rule!
Welcome to the Herd. (sorry couldn’t resist)
Welcome to the…. what’s our Unofficial Official Name again?
“Leather Heads”…although recently I’ve been going with: “The With Leather Universe”.
I thought we were the WithLeather Daddies. :(
If any of you happen to come up to Waterloo Iowa for the Dan Gable Wrestling Museum at any point, I’ll buy you a drink
Talking about Waterloo always make me think of this Simpsons episode:
[www.youtube.com]
I chose the Spanish version of this clip in hopes that Jerry Lawler might somehow show up and say something inappropriate.
After college I moved back to Richmond from Philadelphia. One of the few perks was that I could watch wrestling with one of my childhood best friends again. He was a newlywed and I was barely employed so we went to Wrestlemania 26 at a Hooters. I remember the look on my friends face as he said, “now I see why people have a bad opinion of wrestling fans”. The withleather heads/daddies are the antithesis of the fans at that Hooters.
Still attempting to recover from both the boner run picture and the Matt Striker tashe reaction picture. Good week for pics.
Also, half of the arena was apparently empty for this one. Looks like NXT guys don’t draw, who knew.
Just wait ’till you get to 3MB.
Fuck, I’m printing these out.
I don’t care what anyone says, Striker’s ‘stache is f*cking amazing.
I think you’ve totally misread the whole 3MB/towels and hats in the locker room thing – they weren’t there to shower…they were shooting the album cover!!
Brilliant as always, Brandon.
Regarding Pual Heyman and the truth: Remember when Punk became a super face for dropping the truth on the WWE universe? Good time.
“WWE made it clear a while back that TV ratings were more important to them than pay-per-view revenue, so most pay-per-views are just used as a way to sell TV plots to people who were watching anyway.”
Which is weird, because wasn’t that one of WCW’s fatal mistakes?
That entire paragraph about the post-PPV Raws read eerily like a description of late-stage Nitros.
Wouldn’t have been great if AJ had listened to what Ziggler had set, made her infamous pouty face and said, “Man, that hurt…. but I’m going to hurt you EVER MORE RARR!” and then flailed at him, maybe grabbed the briefcase, smashed him over the head with it or put him through a table (“MAH GAWD”) and then stood up and realized she had the power to take care of herself all along and that the only person she needed to take on bullies was herself and then went out and took a shot at the Diva’s title?
I’m just saying. If we want to Be a Star or something. Oh, more Hornswoggle with squirting flowers? I guess.
May cross the line into Sheamus chair wailing territory, but the message is good.
Before I forget, have a nice Thanksgiving everybody:

Hope you don’t mind or anything but I just tweeted this to Faye Reagan, cause I’m British and bored. If you do mind then don’t worry I said you were very positive about her and she was the only positive thing about this thing.
I can only imagine the comments if we get her as a Verifed Guest.
I can’t believe I made top 10 comments again. I had a mediocre run and got home from work at 9:30ish. Its sad that I admit that made me smile more than it should have. Being a grown up sucks.
On the flip-side I was having the God’s shittiest day yesterday and was pretty confident I would make it for the “I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS” comment I made. I’m going to decline to mention my disappointment level on account of my age but being a grown up DOES suck. But your username and avatar is awesome.
The Wrestlemania thing being racist I will give you, sure. But sharing a burrito is racist now. I love burritos and I think my life would be worse off without them. I wouldn’t have these luscious curves that make the nursing home residents hum with delight between breathing treatments and bingo games.
All that said and off my now sweaty chest from the extra typing, I wanted to say that I knew I’d see 3MB in a towel mentioned here and I’m happy you didn’t let me down. Thank you.
What you don’t know is that the burritos are named Jose and Hose-B.
Ahh I see you’ve been reading from “Jerry Lawler’s Book of Humor” as well.
So, how much homoerotic 3MB fan fiction is going to be mass produced after last night’s Raw episode?
Antonio Cesaro is awesome and reminds me of GSP before he started to fight to not lose.
I’ve always been a fan of PTP’s and I hope last night will see them get some backstage support and we can see them become legitimate heel tag team champions.
Can you really blame Cena for getting an erection from kissing Aj?
Good job as always, Brandon. You’re spot on with how 2 out of 3 falls should work.
What exactly is the Boner Run hoping to cure? Boners? Running? Jorts?
never run off a boner before? better than a cold shower, I tells ya.
Boner + Jorts = Shaft Burn. We need Shaft Burn Awareness
Whatever you wanna call the condition where you fall on one. Especially if it bends.
“And trust me, when you’re watching Carlito wrestle, you need your colons to be at full strength.”
Brilliant.
I realized last night it’s a good thing Uproxx doesn’t give us all pic posting privileged since I would have spent most of last night just spamming the board with a pic of Lawler followed by that gif of the little black kid screaming THAT’S RACIST!
That said, this was both one of my favorite Raw’s and B/WoR in quite some time. Though, shame on you Brandon for not including Punk’s “Then why do you do it?” to Striker or him hiding behind the incredibly flimsy poster and easel while .RAR beat the be-JAYsus out of Ryback.
BALLOONS
How do they work?
BASKETBALL FLASHBACK, BALLOON PARTY. BASKETBALL FLASHBACK, BALLOON PARTY.BASKETBALL FLASHBACK, BALLOON PARTY.
To Darren’s credit, he is surprisingly bad on the mic. He was probably keeping schtum just in case he said something about nobody taking any wang from him or something.
365 and counting!
both Cory Matthews & Shawn Hunter sucked. Eric Matthews was the reason to watch that show, along with Rachel McGuire & KIT.
What about Mr. Turner?
He’s over there with Minkus.
I also have to say for the record that I love Matt Striker. Like, him, JBL and Scott Stanford are my dream commentary team. He’s like an infinitely better Josh Matthews.
I love him, and the sleazier and shadier he gets, the more I love him. I thought for a brief minute a couple weeks back that they were teaming him up with Rhodes Scholar, which would be INCREDIBLE.
Keep in mind, though, that a JBL/Striker commentary team would be a neverending cavalcade of esoterica. That’s enjoyable in its own right, but as much as I love those two, sometimes they get so caught up in their own game (or berating Michael Cole) that they ignore something happening in the ring.
Still, Striker nicknaming Regal “The Ringleader of the Tormentors” has earned him my undying support.
Strikers does get annoying, but I still like him on commentary because he’s the only one of the current WWE crop who actually sounds enthusiastic and excited for wrestling and not just the “Ohhh my!!” brand of fake Vince-produced enthusiasm and excitement.
*Faye Reagan should guest host an episode of Raw. Just throwing that out there.
Yes…yes she absolutely should
Whole new meaning to 5-knuckle shuffle
I’m pretty sure Faye Reagan has herpes. Just sayin’.
Who cares? It’s Faye Reagan. She could have a flesh eating virus and I’d still want to say what’s up.
Well, that’s disturbing on at least 3 different levels.
Isn’t that the actual meaning of five-knuckle shuffle?
True @Chilly. So “Gives back the actual meaning of five-knuckle shuffle” then.
Anyone see WWE.com’s recap of Raw which started with (roughly) Something you don’t see every day – Raw kicking off not with a match, but an address from the ring…. by Ryback.
Just pretending like every raw doesn’t start with 20 minutes of exposition – shame, WWE, shame.
I sort of wanted 3MB to play the Arrested Development Mariachi Band Fight Music while Cena and Ziggler were going at it in the stall.
Anda-anda-andale! Andale hermano!
I want to start a band just so I can call it Awkward Boner Run.
“The dress code for this party is Randy Orton Casual.”
Having to explain the context of this to my wife after busting out laughing was a challenge. Well played.
Faye Reagan for everything.
I am VERY glad that the PTP have stepped up their game with Titus on the stick. I was worried that after the AW debacle, that they would be jobbing and fading out. Good on Titus for picking up slack and good on the producers and VKM for not burying the guys who were associated with AW. Too many times we have seen that kind of BS happen
Don’t forget TLA, which is a Three Letter Acronym for Three Letter Acronym (and Two Letter Acronym)
What’s VERY stand for then? Voraciously Engaged Ruminating on YOLO (ANAGRAM RABBIT HOLE!!!!)?
Call me crazy but I like that this stupid AJ/Cena story-line FINALLY went somewhere, and it at least gives us some awesome Ziggler 80′s douchebag moments.
And if you told me I dreamed (Is that the right word?) last night’s Raw, I’d probably believe you.
Cesaro’s flying uppercut in slow motion is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.
Has Miz bulked up in some way that prevents him from locking in the full nelson for the SCF? It’s like he’s not even trying anymore.
BALLOONS MF’ER!! DID YOU GET THEM!?!?!
Speaking of Thanksgiving, Anyone remember when they had the Mr. McMahon and his ass cartoon and they did a thanksgiving episode? Who has a few beers and remembers that? This guy.
Enjoyable as always.
Top ten! Thanks, you guys.
So Seth Rollins is still the NXT champion? Because I think it would fit the current beef situation if he would be beaten this week by Ryback on NXT interfering in a championship match and causing him to lose the belt to whoever WWE choses and then Rollins could move up entirely to the main roster. This way it wouldn’t be just dropping the belt, because sooner or later it will be inevitable.
Jesus Christ, that Survivor Series column was a year ago? I’m starting to feel fucking old. The only thing I remember about the columns back then was Brandon got on Punk for not selling the arm after the Del Rio match and something about not watching the three hour special because he wanted to play Batman Arkham City. Also, the Rock sucked.
Anyone else reading Swagger of Mars to Starman?
♪Let all the children boogie♪
Each page was an enjoyment. One must now clean oneself.
“THE EVE OF DESTRUCTION IS THE DESTINY OF YOUR DOWNFALL HO KOGAN, FOR IT IS THE HAND OF AN AIRPLANE THAT MAKES OUTER SPACE RELEVANT”
This. Forever and ever.
If AJ keeps tongue spelunking every guy on the roster, she will usurp the role of Ho Kogan.
“I honestly don’t remember a hell of a lot about this match, because I spent most of it laughing at the Prime Time Players. That’s … probably not the point of ringside commentary, is it?”
I’ll bet you’re probably being a bit disingenuous with the second sentence there but, yeah, if they bring special guest commentators out then it should be to put their personality over. So if you were more into the commentary than the match because the commentary was awesome then that probably should get a “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED” banner and the writer who came up with the idea landing on the flight deck to give a speech.
NaNoGroFacialHairMo made me spit out my coffee this morning. Also, 3MB in hats and towels just chillaxin. Like ya do… Although Jinder looks a little shy in his towel.
THE FANFICTION WRITES ITSELF!!!
I made you a present
[imgur.com]
That’s a thing of beauty.
I would have accepted Ted Buckland’s plaintive “MY BALLOON!” from the 8th season of Scrubs or the Joker from the 1989 Batman complaining about losing his balloons as clips.
Man, I want a burrito affair! *kicks rocks, pouts*
Great writeup, solid top 10 (I’m glad one of my many dick jokes made the cut), but the funniest line of the night goes to “the John Cena Boner Run for the Cure,” because I laugh every time I read it, especially with the accompanying screen grab. I can’t believe I watch this show.
*Places turkey in oven*
It is Thanksgiving Eve, (YAY EVE!), and I am in a very thankful mood.
I just wanted to take some time out of my day to first thank Brandon Stroud for all of his hard work and dedication to this website and for posting these Best and Worst of RAW reports. Every Tuesday I can expect to have a good laugh and you always deliver, I thank you for always brightening up our lives with the funnies. If you are ever in Las Vegas HMU, (as the kids say), and we can hang out, we can look for that vegan place DBry always goes to when he’s in town.
I would also like to thank YOU! The With Leather Universe! ..or Leather Heads/Stroud Mouths/With Leather Daddies/whatever we are calling ourselves now-a-days. It is an honor to talk pro-graps with all you fine folks every Monday. You truly are the smartest/funniest/BEST wrestling internet community IN THE WORLD. If YOU are ever in the area & wanna meet up for a “THIS BUSINESS DINNER” let me know, I can always clear my schedule for #WrestlingBros HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE! Gobble Gobble.
my vote is for With Leather Daddies.
we are calling ourselves WEBSITE-IES. Thanks, Alex*!
They should totally do a running gag where Aksana briefly opens the boob zipper before each match and something zany pops out. E.g. – a go go dancer puppet that yells “sock it to me!,” the chest alien, Kool-Aid Man, moths, Spaghett ….
I just want to see her backstage, zipping and unzipping continuously until she finally just stops looks at the camera and sadly says: “why is this?”.
Maybe the boob zipper is to allow her to more quickly cool down, a’la the half zips on cycling jerseys?
Of the top ten comments, I like that they took it an extra level and made It a Raul Julia quote (Neal McDonough would have been too much) , and “randy Orton casual made me spit out my coffee.
As usual, the review was very funny. Well done.
Best of The Best And Worst Of WWE Raw 11/19/12: The John Cena Boner Run For The Cure 2012:
“They could have Camacho* walk up to Sin Cara and shoot him in the head with a gun, and Cole would still drop “Sin Cara was so popular in Mexico he had a comic book based on his life” in Owen voice.”
I’m loving 3MB so much right now. They’re wandering into 3 Count territory of awesomeness. (Yes, I actually did, and still do, love 3 Count).
I was extremely slow in getting around to reading this/”catching up” on Raw (Will watch it in earnest on Saturday), so these comments/thoughts are several days late and at least five dollars short.
Anyway, when Ziggler said AJ “gloms on to things” I instantly thought of Gail the Snail, so maybe Cena or Ziggler or someone just needs to salt her a little bit?
Also, anyone else confused/frustrated that RAR are dressed as security but don’t even break out batons to hit The Ryback? They’re basically Liefeld characters with extraneous, useless pouches (Toned down a million degrees, of course), right?
I would LOVE for a “salt the snail” angle. So long as it doesn’t involve Vince uttering the words “OK, now you’re just mashin’ it.”
I would love it if Cesaro starts using “My psycho power knows no limits!” as a catch phrase.
I’m guessing Cesaro is saving the Final Psycho Crusher for a big PPV match.
NIGHTMARE BOOSTER
The Naughty America reference makes me think more of you Brandon lol. Geez, did you get dumped or does Destiny not read this like I thought she did? Lots of verbal urges on this here 3rd page.
It’s a joke about porn, you can have a girlfriend and still make those, assuming you are not one of those weird TV husbands who are terrified to speak or act at all times because HARPIE WIFE.
Haha I meant more the proposition of Jern’s female accuser to call you also but only kidding.
B, you’ve been one of my favorite writers since I first found P Boi by searching for Gospel Bill, and you never let me down. Thank you for providing years of entertainment, and here’s to many more.
You don’t know how much it means to me to know that someone else in the world gives a shit about Gospel Bill.
Are you not aware that one of Brandon’s more memorable jokes (that doesn’t involve Jim Thome doing Jim Thome things) involved THIS VERY BUSINESS?
YHA I HATE YOU LIKE A WHALE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
okay, cool
Great stuff as usual. Thanks.
Stumbled upon this site and my new fav blog
So you can just come on here and talk wrestling huh? Great idea! Great column…looking forward to this weeks. Last night had some of the best matches in a long time. Pissed Bryan/Mysterio gets no build up and is an after thought then steals the show.
