  1. In my opinion I thought the music was a bit on the nose. It was like a college project where your film is called Photograph, so you look for any song called Photograph.

     

    Not really,once you actually listen to the lyrics of the song and consider Walt and Jesse's relationship and history.

  2. Bryan and his Bella are engaged according to their Twitter accounts:

     

    Finally got Bri to say YES… I’m such an overachiever.

     

    I'm the happiest girl in the world, the Future Mrs. Danielson,makes my heart smile.

     

    Poor Cena is going to have to buy his one another car or something shiny to keep her quiet.

  3. Saw 'In A World' the other night in the cinema.Was enjoyable enough,stayed just on the right side of smug Hollywood wankery.The main girl (Lake Bell) is a decent actress as well as being easy on the eye,and the majority of the supporting cast have their moments,Nick Offerman and Ken Marino especially.Plus the guy who played Lake Bell's dad reminded me of Uncle Phil from the Fresh Prince,which can only be a good thing.

  4. Meltzer's view on AJ's crap tattoo:

     

    On the A.J. thing, this is going to break some hearts, but people who run wrestling companies laugh at wrestlers who are "belt marks" for undercard belts, especially when it comes to a pass-around belt vs. a main event belt that is given with the idea the person with it is anchoring business.

     

    Promoters throughout time feel that there are the guys who want to be paid and the guys who want a belt and they can pay whatever they want to them as long as they give them a make-believe pass-around belt.

     

    In both TNA and WWE there is that designation, given a few times a year from both sides in conversations that reference, which goes back longer than I've been following wrestling, has been around. One group is considered pros and the other group is considered fans who are on the roster and the belief is you can treat them very differently. There is an old saying about the latter group that you throw them a fish and watch them jump.

     

    For ones own career, even if they consider it an accomplishment, if you want respect, you don't sell it publicly behind the scenes, only in fake media interviews and on TV.

     

    Again, the world title (or the main event belt in any territory) is viewed entirely differently (although people who don't like Bret Hart would knock him over the same subject, but those people probably were going to find something to do that about either way, given I never heard anyone except Bockwinkel in fun, knock Harley Race over the same thing). I know of stories where someone in the industry will bring up to Lawler about all the belts he's won over his career and he immediately gives then a glare like they have no understanding of the business.

  5. Fat lad who paid for the 'in bed with Sunny' pics diary entry of the momentous occasion:

    A Sunny Day

     

    Yesterday I met former WWF DIVA Sunny once again. This was the third time I had met her but this time would be a bit different. She was doing Under The Cover photo ops. My friend Shannon and I took off to meet her at the Dungeon Oven, aka Frank & Son Collectibles in City of Industy, CA. The weather in SoCal has been horribly hot and humid in the last couple of weeks. This warehouse has no AC. It has some fans, but it really doesn't help. People standing still are sweating their ass off. We meet up with people and have some good chats until finally Sunny arrives.

     

    Sunny was in a great mood, talking with fans, signing their stuff, and unfortunately sweating like crazy, just like the rest of us. LOL. The table was at the front door and it was bad inside the warehouse today. We waited in line and our turn finally came. Sunny remembered me from when I had drinks with her and Terri Runnels at the bar during WrestleReunion, and we reminisced about good times in the past. I didn't have her sign anything due to having tons of autographs already but I did get an updated photo op. My friend Shannon got a photo op and had some of his stuff signed. We stuck around for a while and then headed out to CVS to get out photo ops printed.

     

    After we got our photo ops printed at CVS we headed to the hippo to meet inside the restaurant with the other VIPS. Sunny came in, we ordered out lunch, and we had a nice Q&A during lunch learning more about Sunny, and heard some great stories. After we were done eating, and asking questions, Sunny signed everyones stuff. I had her sign my photo op.

     

    Now it was time, Sunny left to go to her hippo room. About 15 minutes later they began pulling us by groups of two, to go up to Sunny's room, to take photos with her in bed. I let them know me and Shannon would go last. I went to the restroom and changed to get in gimmick for the photo op. I thought, why I'm I going to be in bed wearing street clothes? So I changed into shorts, and put a bathrobe on..

     

    It was finally our turn to go up into Sunny's room. As I walked in Sunny looked at how I was dressed and was happy that I actually put some thought into it. We went over a couple rules, and then told me to lay down, and instructed me how to lay, where to place my hand etc. She kept it real classy. I took a few different photo ops with her. My friend Shannon got one as well. I then cut a video promo with her. This has been a tradition of mine since WrestleReunion. Sunny took control and pretty much told me to follow her lead and I did. I improvised as usual. The video will be debuting on the Live Internet Show called The Sunday Nite Stu, Sunday 8th, 9pm PST / 12am EST http://www.sundaynitestu.com/.

     

    After we stuck around in her room and chatted for a while about a bunch of different stuff that was definitely entertaining. I'd like to thank Victor of Gemini Sportscards for putting on such an awesome event.

  6. From an interview he did with Grantland a few weeks back:

     

    Speaking of writers, when do you first remember the Internet becoming a factor? There were dirt sheets before then, but they really blew up on the web. I know you guys pretend you're not listening to it, but come on.

     

    When I got into the business, obviously the dirt sheets were there. In my mind, it was like a gossip column. I remember Dallas Page coming in. I used to go to the Power Plant every day just to train with Terry Taylor. Page would come in and he'd be so upset because the dirt sheets were ripping him apart all the time. Especially Wade Keller, who was fucking brutal: "Page is a waste of skin. I don't even know why he has a job there." Stuff like that. Page could do no right and it really bothered him. I would say "What do you care? Who cares what he thinks? Just do what you do, man, and worry about if they're cheering or not." But he'd say to me, "You don't understand, man. Bischoff puts a lot of stock into this." So one day he came in with a dirt sheet and Keller had ripped him up and he got so mad that he went into Jody Hamilton's office and got Wade Keller's phone number. We were all in the office; it was me and Terry Taylor and I think Big Show, and Page called and left Keller this scathing message. A little while later, over the intercom, they say "Page, Wade Keller's on the line." They get on a phone together, and boy, they hit it off. And they're talking and Page is saying, "I just don't understand why you're giving me such a hard time. Yeah, I'm coming into this late, but I try and I work harder than everybody else." From then on Wade Keller was digging Page.

     

    He flipped?

     

    Completely. I was like, "You just worked the dirt sheet guy!" It blew my mind that these guys don't even really have an honest opinion. There's a lot of guys over the years I've seen put over [in the dirt sheets] and I just didn't get it. But then I realized, those guys give them insider dirt. In the Attitude Era, we'd be on a plane and there'd be four of us traveling in first class or something, and a week later, I'd read the conversation verbatim in the dirt sheets. I'd be like "Fuck, how does that happen?" Because it had to be one of the four of us. I always thought, just do your job. If the crowd reacts to you, positively, negatively, if you're getting a reaction, they're going to push you. That's what nobody gets. We don't tell the fans who's going to be over. We put somebody on the table, fans react, and then we decide where to go with them. What people forget is we have a focus group every single night, 10,000 people somewhere. We didn't get Austin over. Austin got over with the fans.

  7. Good Raw again,Triple H and Steph are brilliant in their roles,particularly liked HHH hiding behind Steph with a smirk on his face when Show threatened to clatter him.Ryback was good value again this week too,plus he beat that tosser Ziggler which is a bonus.Ricardo has to be turning on RVD at Night of Champions.

     

    Also that Jojo one seems to have grown a cracking arse since Total Divas was filmed.
