I was watching The Princess Bride last month and he sounded like one of the adults in Charlie Brown and Snoopy holding their nose.

Thanks, I'll download an episode or two and see how they go.

I'd recommend "Honky Tonk man likes to watch"

I was looking at his wiki page today so I'm sold.

Thanks mate

come on man:(

It was a valid question. I feel genuinely bad for the announcer. Was he an athlete in his day before becoming a broadcaster?

NXT tag titles are Roman proof. WCW Hardcore championship is pretty random though.

Oh yeah. Football player. Probably has CTE.

That's a real shame for the guy.

According to JBL, WWE canceled his "Legends with JBL" show for the WWE Network. The upcoming episode with Jimmy Hart is going to be the series finale.

What happened to that show where they complained about the IWC?

Either they realized a ATH/PTI-like show doesn't work for wrestling with how they did it or just felt like wasting a bunch of money to trash their fans.

WWE Paige wants to do MMA after WWE and Del Rio has been "training" her.

I don't think a few sessions of ground and pound counts.

Del Rio has been training her not Jimmy Snuka.

Oh you meant in the sexual way.

Da fuck, the way that Umbrella reacts near the end of that clip is just weird.

Oh good, I thought it was just me that saw that.

Yeah it just flies off like its still being held, i'd have expected it just to fall over.

Not sure about Holy Foley but Edge has been teasing for a while on Twitter about them working on ideas and gags for the next season. Pretty much them having a hard time coming up with enough gags is why its taking them a long time.

Laws of aerodynamics, sucka

Here's an odd fact I just found out while researching something...

Out of all wrestlers with at least 250 matches under their belt, Goldberg has the best winning percentage of all time. Number two? Mojo Rawley.

lolwhat?

GET ON THAT HYPE TRAIN, BABY

Slightly less odd, if we limit it to just wrestlers with over 50 matches The Ultimate Warrior has the best winning percentage of all time and Asuka is 2nd.

That really is weird. There is something to unpack there about how guys are booked, frankly. Asuka having the best winning percentage of all-time would be a great gimmick if they kept her strong and clear of the 50/50 club.

According to WWE's recent fiscal report, Network has around 1.5 million subscribers with the breakdown being 1.4 million paid in the US and around 400k for the rest of the world. Puts them around the break even range (1.3-1.5 million per month) although for the first time they didn't include free accounts into the numbers.

WWE did not announce how many subscribers they currently have if you include the free subscriptions they have given away through Wrestlemania to former paid subscribers

In terms of overall revenues, WWE managed to have its highest fiscal year ever at $729 million in revenue. Net profit ended up being around $33.4 million overall which ends up being lower than pre-Network era for that category. TV fees basically carried the company this year since everything else was mostly down.

Revenue numbers are the highest in company history. Profits are still well below the pre-Network levels, although most projections are they will be at or ahead of those levels in 2017 due to an increase in TV rights fees and lower tax rates.

Most of the year was actually somewhat even in profits except that last year in the fourth quarter the company lost $1.2 million and this year's fourth quarter profits were $8.0 million. Total revenue in quarter four was $194.9 million, up from $166.2 million in quarter four of 2015 ...

U.S. subscriber numbers at year-end were 1,033,000, up from 940,000. However, the Network division overall decreased in profitability for the year from $48.4 million to $36.9 million, due to increases in costs of the Network programming and a major decline in PPV.

Virtually all significant profit growth comes from television rights fees. Profits were up on television from $88.0 million in 2015 to $114.8 million in 2016, even though revenue increased by $10.6 million. Some of that is misleading, in the sense that they expense some things to the Network that were formerly expensed to television ...

If there was a hidden negative, it's that live event attendance, while up overall due to running more shows, decreased in profitability as well as average attendance.

For the main brand shows, the average paid attendance in quarter four was 5,300, down from 6,300 in the same quarter last year. That doesn't factor in NXT events. The total profits for all fourth quarter shows, including NXT events, fell from $7.3 million to $6.2 million in the fourth quarter.

TALK N SHOP MOTHERFUCKERS!!

The umbrella reacts how you'd expect a fully open umbrella to act in an environment with very little wind. At least a good quality one.
