Aw, cmon. Stipe has always done deadpan well - he just hid it behind a wall of earnestness for most of their career.

They couldn't hope to touch what The Americans did with "Tusk".

IIRC, using Disturbed in DOTD was a studio concession to get to use Richard Cheese, so…

What's THIS? Why, it's that violet villain, the Purple Prince! What rock and roll wickedness could the Pasha of Paisley Park be up to this time?

I may have told this story before, but apparently WB pretty much did a cattle call of "alternative" artists for that soundtrack, including REM, who did this ridiculous Contractual Obligation Track that sounds like a so-so Automatic b-side (which it ended up being!) with Stipe and Mills yelping "BAT-MAAAAAAAAAN" over…

You have successfully covered why I don't watch wrestling anymore. The reason WWE is the only real game in town anymore is directly due to VKM being a giant piece of shit.

FUNNY STORY

Unfortunately, LOL RASSLINS FAKE seems to be all the protection Vince needs. The more he talks about it as a staged spectacle, the easier it is to dismiss as fake/for kids/for yokels/etc.

I know who he is, but being such a fucking fanboy that you'd let the Hulkster fuck your wife while you watch is some next-level shit.

real talk they will let ANYONE into the Ivy League so long as their family is willing to put a new wing on the library.

Professional wrestling is legit one of the three or four shadiest legitimate businesses out there. It's neck-and-neck with porn and a good bit ahead of used car dealerships.

Florida Man.

Yeah, but Jimmy Snuka (in all likelihood) killed someone and had Vince help cover it up.

You know, I was just thinking about that. Hayes literally painted a rebel flag on his face every night for a couple years and that dude is still in upper management at WWE. Even after he allegedly told Mark Henry "I'm blacker than you are".

The rumor going around was that the website team were called into the office at 3AM last night.

There's being a mark and then there's being a fucking MARK.

you are on fuckin' fire dude.

You don't want a good lawyer. You want a CRAZY lawyer.

See? What a mensch!

As a human being, I've never heard anything bad about Sandler. He's apparently always willing to do Make-a-Wish, always stops for people who recognize him, etc.
