There is nothing wrong with Pelosi. She's actually moves forward legislation etc. You can disagree with her philsophcally, but she's nowhere near Feinstein.
Cruz is like literally the worst and most pathethic senator. That dumbass is blaming his kids. And he booked a trip that was supposed to return on Saturday. I mean, at least act like you give a shit during this time of need when your fellows citizens, whom YOU REPRESENT. I mean O'Rourke whom he defeated a few years ago acts more like a Senator than he does.

You guys want to know that hilarious part of this? Vince wanted to sign him AGAIN even after all that. In late 1997 after Bret left, he once again offered Warrior a lucrative contract. Warrior declined and signed with WCW in 1998.
Years later, Vince was asked why he offered/wanted to sign Warrior again and his answer was: I don’t know. I guess I’m a glutton for punishment here.

Oh god...that was short lived. Did you hear about the comic book thing? Absurd.
Warrior had virtually been out of the business for 3 years after he fucked Vince the first time and then he virtually did the same thing.
He never worked for Vince again after this incident.
I remember how they played it off on tv too. Gorilla Monsoon said warrior had been missing dates and wouldn’t be back in the WWF unless made a ‘post appearance bond’ for the following cities’ then he listed several cities and they never mentioned him again.
Fool me once Shame on you fool me twice shame on me.
LOL, I don't remember the comic book but wasn't there a Warrior University tie in (it was equally as dumb)? I forget who Warrior was feuding with when he no showed in June 1996. He squashed HHH at Wrestlemania so it wasn't him. I think he was feuding for whatever reason with Jerry Lawler.

I didn't see that Havoc, I didn't really watch the skinny Hulk Hogan era WCW. Giant was a terrible champion. In the last show I watched his title defense was against Earthquake, and it was just thrown into the middle of the show.
Every time Hall and Nash show up, and I don't even think they wrestled yet, the crowd goes bananas. They really pulled that angle off well.
1995 in general was an awful year for wrestling in general in both WWF and WCW. I assumed you passed the infamous Doomsday cage match from Uncensored in 1996. It was just boring to me and not awful like most people say.
Oh man the Hall and Nash thing was brilliant by WCW. They don't go overkill and just bash you over the head with you like modern WWE. They did the slow build and it worked to perfection. It's like reading a great novel, every chapter builds on the previous one. Getting ahead here, but Bishoff sold that jacknife powerbomb by Nash at the Great American Bash very well.

WWF and WCW at that time, 96-98ish were weird opposites of one another. On WCW, they did the undercard stuff far better. But when it came to the main event stuff and actually paying off an angle, for the most part they disappointed. It was the opposite in WWF where their undercard stuff was spotty but more often than not the stuff in the main event was booked well and there was a satisfying payoff. I mean, Austin did win the title from Michaels at Wrestlemania 14.
Most of the time in WCW you had some sort of bullshit finish with the NWO makes all the emotional investment that you as a fan have "bought in" kind of wasted.

I've been watching this channel on YouTube that plays old Nitros and Raws from the Monday night wars, and holy shit I forgot how terrible Raw was back in the day. If it weren't for Hart and Austin it would've been the end of WWF.
Correct. Whatever Russo called his stuff think it was Crash TV or whatever was very hit and miss. The only positive is that it gave the mid card guys something to do and occassionally there was a decent story there.
Hart, Michaels, Austin and the Undertaker, maybe Mick Foley were the only reasons to watch. Later on the Rock and HHH as well. But especially 1995-1996 they were treading water. I'll give them credit on the Kane storyline though.

Supposedly Foles will be a part of the trade, too. I'm shocked they didn't go after Watson. Maybe they did? I thought the Patriots would be a player for Wentz. Don't see Trubisky signing a tender now.
The cost for Watson is going to be very high and their draft position is the lowest like at #20. Other teams like the Jets, Dolphins and Panthers have higher picks/multiple picks. They probably inquired and didn't want to pay that much.
The thing with the Pats is I think they are going to wait and see if Jimmy G gets cut from the Niners. That's their solution I think, otherwise they might be looking at another stopgap veteran type unless they draft one in round 1.
I think it would be awful if they have to give up much. He's not worth a first round pick to me.
Two things: there aren't enough good qb's in the league. And the Bears are desperate, supposedly both Pace and Nagy are under pressure to win next year. When you are in that scenario, you overpay. The Bears QB coach was there in PHI with Wentz and has a good relationship.
#628 Re: The Garden » NFL 2019 » 300 weeks ago
Looks like I was wrong on Wentz and he'll be traded soon, maybe to the Bears.

I'm going to make a really strange/weird response to this (ie white supremacy/racists in Congress). I really don't care if you are a (insert questionable/controversial viewpoint here) say racist here. As long as you bring in the federal bucks and don't make a fool out of yourself and take care of your district/state and tend to their concerns/issues of your constieunts.
I mean some of these congress people, they are just there and just don't do anything. I mean they don't sponsor legislation etc.. I get why people are frustrated at Congress.

Wasn't a tour in 2000 or 2001 cancelled because Axl had no idea it had been booked?
