I thought the show hit it's stride when they absolutely stopped giving any pretense of a shit and started breaking the fourth wall, having Eric do any crazy shit the writers could think of, no matter how hard it pushed the bounds of reality, etc.

Try both NY NFL teams playing in NJ for a mindfuck when you're young. Drove me nuts when I was a kid and cared about really dumb stuff because I wasn't yet having to worry about anything important.

Simple editing that looks shitty, yes.

Now you're just being really pedantic about semantics. If I say something is kayfabe, you can read it as "part of kayfabe" if that makes it easier. Kayfabe extends beyond just the matches. The slammys, the belts, both the ones they use on TV and the ones the wrestlers get to keep, and the HoF rings are all kayfabe.

No, but that would be part of the total package. Get me some mainstream media coverage of the ceremony, media outlets contacting HoF'ers the week of Wrestlemania to do some media appearances for them the way NFL and MLB HoF'ers do for the Super Bowl and World Series, etc.

So are replica belts and they don't mean anything either. Hell, the Slammys you mention as being kayfabe are (or at least at one time were) given to the wrestlers who win them.

I agree that we've wasted too much time on this, but the Hall of Fame is totally kayfabe and if you don't understand that, I'm not sure what else to say.

Uh, thanks for the unnecessary link/clarification, I guess?

1. There's no physical building, the honor is recognized by no one but the WWE, the ceremony is not covered by any media outlets, etc. It's a nice honor for the inductees, but it's still a kayfabe thing that means nothing outside the pro wrestling world. And his death was the reason for this article. No one, myself,…

Mansecret: I've developed a habit of clearing my nose with a tissue on the toilet and disposing of said tissue between my legs by lifting the ballsack. I try to ensure no snot actually touches the taint, but should there be a doubt, more often than not, I never actually check to be positive.

"...a lot of what we do post is positive..."

1. Don't be intentionally dense. When a big name related to sports dies, sports blogs are going to cover it. When that same person is honored with a kayfabe award that means precisely dick outside of the pro wrestling universe, it's going to go unmentioned.

You're making a ton of assumptions. Obviously, anyone who would rub the fucking family's faces in his death is an asshole, but that's the fault of the person doing it, not the person who wrote the article. Death does not earn you a moratorium on discussing the less tasteful parts of your life.

For anybody thinking about babies, I strongly urge you to look up paternity leave laws in your state and cross-reference the with what your company's policy on such leave is (easier if your HR person is more useful than a fucking oscillating fan with a wig on [mine was not]), because paternity leave is not anywhere…

When he went into the Hall of Fame, that was the time to look at his career. When he died, that was the time to look at his life.

Taking 6 weeks later this year. DEAL WITH IT.

This. Our friend up top seems to be taking her statement that the two did not have sex before she lost any recollection of the evening to mean she did not have sex with anyone at all that night, something that cannot, based on the presented facts, be proven one way or the other seeing as she doesn't remember most of…

If you don't want a peanut gallery to "rip you a new one," then you shouldn't live your life as a public figure.

Yeah, I think ordering the murders of thousands of people is worthy of a red X in the average person's book.
