yes, because it happened in the ring in front of 15K or so people. 

the Raw the next night was heartbreaking. I’ll never forget the sight of Mark Henry bawling his eyes out in sadness. 

me too.  We didn’t have PPV and were watching something else. Then a buddy called and told us about the fall. We found the “scramble channel” (we also had scramble Spice) and listened. Then we got on my roommates’s dial up modem to read wrestling boards about it.  The fact the WWF just moved on with the show was…

and made more than the costs with the settlement for all of the guilty scumbags it nailed. 

I heard about that. Bummer. My buddy got banned from Humphrey’s and sued because a bounder body slammed him in the street. Judge Judy offered to bring the case to their show. He declined as he was going into JAG.

02-05, law school. Toasted ravs and wings from Laclede Street and Humphrey’s got me good! You got some good hoops - Spoonball, Bonner, Waldman, Claggett, Highmark, etc. 

I’ve been avoiding my wife’s sister for 10+ years now for free. 1.5 cans of beer would be enough to keep that streak going. 

JC Penny the old Miami Hurricanes running back?  He’s probably worth as much at Sears stock these days.

you can’t really be defending rubbery cheese on top of a cracker, can you? I’ll give you toasted ravs, they contributed mightily to my weight gain when I was at SLU

they deserve this just for having to live with St. Louis style pizza. 

I went to grad school for three years in STL. One was during the lockout so I only was there for two seasons for Blues hockey. As a Red Wings fan I felt sorry for Blues fans. They were loyal but all they had to brag about was having (at the time, later eclipsed by the Red Wings) the longest playoff streak in major…

yeah, took one or so too many on a recent flight. I started feeling dizzy as we were sitting on the tarmac and the plane started spinning. On the bright side, I didn’t wake up until I got to Chicago. 

Robert Horry.  That’s when I was done with Sheed. The dude is called “Big Shot Bob” for a reason! Plus, I have heard that the reason Darko never developed with Sheed treated him like absolute shit and destroyed any confidence the kid ever had. 

I’m saying that population size plays a greater role, along with being the only game in town at the time, because it magnifies those guys and their place in the community and thus expectations for personal conduct. In places like Chicago, NYC, Dallas, etc, that are much larger with 5+ professional teams and where…

not you but the author.  Nothing you said in your post was inaccurate. 

Pistons fans loved Sheed, until the 2008 Boston series when he regressed into a malcontent once again, even showing up for game 6 of the Boston series (Pistons down 3-2) less than 30 minutes before tip and allegedly smelling of booze and playing like he couldn’t give a damn And not only did Sheed had Big Ben to take…

I’m not trying to paint them as racist (it is a majority minority town) but rather explain why she hates it. 

maybe now, but when she was there, hardly. Also, being an Asian (I have no idea how her parents ended up in Sagnasty) she was constantly given shit by people blaming her “people” for them losing their jobs (which was interesting since she’s Filipina, not Japanese, but there you were either Chinese or Japanese). Plus,…

My wife is from the same city as Draymond. It’s a hell hole, little to be proud of, so everyone there worships Draymond. She’s hated him for years as we’re Blazers fans and have seen him in person acting like an ass (flexing, taunting fans, whining, etc.; what you don’t see on camera). Yesterday she said “what…

exactly.  If you haven’t seen the Netflix series “Sunderland Till I Die” you should - it shows how psychotic those fans are, even when they were in the Premiership and Championship.  It also shows what a depressing place Sunderland is. People in Detroit feel sorry for them.
