Thanks for the additional info. And yes, the drop-twist is the hurricanrana - often shortened to rana as a term in pro-wrestling. It is a quite common move and was popularized, if not out right invented, in Mexican pro-wrestling (aka lucha libre). Perro has been wrestling since he was 16, and as mentioned…

The plywood thing makes sense, sadly. I was at an indy show where a guy took a bad bump to the head. They had a stretcher, but found it quicker and easier to just get a table, roll him unto it and carry him out. I was horrified, but then later was told it was common practice.

Gah. Every move in wrestling could injure a man, and the more routine ones are probably even more dangerous because you (as a wrestler) do not expect them to hurt you due to experience. Guys going up for the 450 splash are careful, but people doing ranas and dropkicks near the rope probably think it is harmless…

Yeah, I agree. I was more commenting/responding on how a lot of people in the comments section were (naturally) upset at Konnan for shaking Perro and I wanted to point out my opinion as to why he would do that. The EMS stuff... yeah, that was a mess. But Konnan's actions, as you also pointed out, could have been…

Thanks for the info, but I'm a bit confused which rope move you are describing: the one where Rey's legs go around his neck and he twists drops him outside the ring or the snapback that happens after he gets back into the ring? If you're a wrestling fan, let me rephrase: are you describing the rana or the dropkick?

Oh man, that's hard to watch. By the way, Perro wasn't just a star, he was a superstar - pro-wrestling royalty due to his father and his own place in the Mexican wresting world. As for the accident, it looks like the issue was how he took the rana to the outside. The twist of his body looked wrong and he appears to…

Torygraph had a wonderful description of Ronaldo's bitch face, calling it "stroppy," which I enjoyed tremendously.

I used to feel that way, but I think Barca fans are actually worse. I have found myself rooting against RM, except when they play Barca.

Wait, does AC Milan even have suitcases full of cash to spend? I don't mean legal vs. illegal. I mean, cash, period. I though Serie A was boned economically and not even in the fun French and German league way of haves and have-nots. Like, all of Serie A was on the down-swing.

I know they are trying to make Khal Drogo Lite into a thing, but given how Vince books and how he can turn on a dime, it can turn into Lesnar winning. I know it sounds like wishful thinking but there was the Mania where all booking indicated Cena had to go over Rock, and then the day of the show reality hit Vince and…

well, it's a mess, but then again it seems like a normal democratic process. The cranks and loons have a right to stand up and howl at the moon as much as others. And the presence Belser does seem to indicate that the fix isn't in. Gilbert's candidacy seems like the strongest on paper, but as others pointed out -…

Rapheal Davis now has a special place in my heart, but his team is still going nowhere. Anyone look at their strength of schedule? Yikes.

There's some kind of terrible joke to be made here about Jets shooting themselves while Pats shoot others, but it would piggyback off a murder trial of a guy accused of killing multiple people, so I'm just going to plant the vision of the joke in your head and not actually say it, because that's how journalists do it.

Wow. So ignoring the $114 million monopoly money figure which can easily be batted aside by lawyers and twisted into nonsense, the real story here is the $60 million guaranteed - that's QB money. Wonder what this will do the NFL arms race, and how much will trickle down to the next tier of defensive players. Thanks…

When I was in Russia, half a dozen beers in past midnight, almost every guy from Kavkaz would darkly hint to me that they are in the Chechen mafiya and/or have ties to the Chechen terrorists. The first time I heard it, I had no idea how to react. By the third time it happened, I was kinda over it. Well, one guy…

Usually Jeze articles make me facepalm and mutter things about Outrage Machines, but this one made me smile and I enjoyed your funny comments. Thanks, from a penis-bearing primate. That is all.

Expecting, not hoping.

2015 Gawker: ISIS skit on SNL tries to be a "funny" "death to America" parody, gets criticized on Twitter... "LOOK AT ALL THOSE DUMB PEOPLE NOT GETTING HUMOR!" Dustin Penner makes an ill advised rape joke... "He's a monster and rape is never funny, and I hope he gets fired from his job!" Oh, Gawker Echo Chamber,…

Fuck this in its post-ironic ironic ass. Power Rangers were fluff and harmless entertainment for children. Looking for some kind deep logic behind it and taking things to its extreme end while playing lip service to the original idea is how we end up with GI Joe movies. I'm over this shit.

So... Oliver Stone's son is a traitor? That makes sense.
