That's what we strive for Futch. Legit. Thanks for marking over my return, man. Good times ahead. I read archives going back as far as possible, so I know you were one of the forefathers of the pre-WFWF era. |

Other than the owners and Bishop I only let the cat out to two other people that you were the guy I got to come in. Biggest acquisition in (recent) WFWF history. As for that opening, Stan McMann's a comedy character who was a weird ass writer that was actually a damn good writer for as ridiculous as his RPs (similar to the opening you just saw) who knocked off a pretty big name and could have been in title contention had he not left for personal life things. But I asked him to come back for a SuperBrawl moment, and this is it. Gotcha, man. I dug his style of writing...it really was highly entertaining. Just...the sheer size of the font was jarring, lol. The whole RAW thread could have known if they paid close attention to you chiding me every Monday night... I feel like every event coming is gonna just be top-notch leading into Superbrawl, if this is any indication. That's what we strive for Futch. |

So LeBron can intentionally knock Green down, step over him, and not get anything called. But then Green gets suspended for retaliation? he didnt get suspended for this one incident though is what is being missed in everything...he got suspended bc hes a repeat offender and honestly should have been suspended a long time ago...he had to many flagrant points...while you can question whether this should have been a flagrant or not it doesnt change the fact that he put himself in this situation I understand Draymond being in multiple incidents as a primary reason for his suspension, but this incident proves my point about LeBron being the most protected player in the NBA. Not even so much as a slap on the wrist when it can be argument can be made he had the worst actions of that whole deal. He basically back hands Draymond to the floor, then steps over him as he's trying to get up. Once the play ends, he's talking to the refs and bad mouthing Draymond, coming toward him like he wanted to scrap, no doubt trying to embellish to get Draymond booted. Then he rag dolls Curry on an inbounds play. I mean c'mon, where's the consistency? Cleveland fans and LeBron apologists, this is why so much of the sporting world has lost respect for him. |

Playtime's over.  Do you have a headache yet? I've been jabbing this doll with a pin for the past hour. Nope, I'm good. |

Anyway guys, sexuh set of result as per usual. I love the story lines being set up, the returns. Did I mention a Stan McMann sighting is like the greatest thing ever? Then you top it off with the return of Future! FUTURE! This is one of the pillars of this fed that even predates WFWF as we know it, and I'm marking out. Great show gents.

Wow, looks like the Thunderbirds really got under Joshua Dean's skin. A barbwire baseball bat? Really? Sounds like someone is feeling a little inadequate after his cage match loss. Gonna be fun going into the tag title match at Exodus. I'm already working on some voodoo dolls so If Drakz & jdfranchise start experiencing migraines so bad that they can't write you know who to blame.  Enough trash talk, better save something for the RPs. Let's put on a good show! The McMann and the Future stuff was kinda weird. I'm guessing that any limits I was imposing on my writing were unnecessary after all that stuff. Playtime's over. |

Mark Hunt has the biggest 1 punch knockout power in the UFC, period. I know Brock fought Shane Carwin (another knockout artist) and came back from getting rocked, but Hunt is a different animal all together (former K-1 Kickboxing Champ). Brock better hope he can get Hunt to the mat, otherwise it's going to be a bad night for him. He has the wrestling to pull this off, but he has to get the fight the mat early and cut Hunt off when he tries to create scrambles. Hunt has shown himself to be susceptible to wrestlers (not jujitsu guys because the takedown setups are completely different), and Brock can keep him down and work for submissions.
Early prediction: Hunt by TKO in the second. I think Brock wants to prove that he can take a punch since his last two fights ended by first round TKO. He'll stand longer than he should and show a little bit of improvement in his striking, but get caught with a big shot. Interesting match up choice, WWE could easily lose big time in this deal.

Just an annihilation tonight. I'm not sure even going home will be enough to help Cleveland psychologically recover from the past two games.

Hoping for another dominant showing by the Warriors, really put the pressure on the Cavs and see how LeBron handles the heat. This...including the intentional pun |

Aw man see, multiman matches are honestly the most fun to write to me. explains why you were constantly booking multi man matches with no rhyme or reason. they  ing suck if you're trying to tell any sort of coherent story in a match I don't mind writing multiman matches from time to time, but I do agree they sometimes tend to go down the car crash route more often than not. |

Anyone else fancy writing a match? I told Trace earlier that I would write Bish/Hall. So go ahead and put me down for it. |

Clinic. Ball movement, balance and overall defense. Dubs played great tonight.

I'll look at the card and see what matches need taken to help the results process.

Yeah. Most LeBron fans can't understand that it's possible for people to love his play not not like him. This basically. Kinda the same way I was with Kobe years back. Hated the attitude because it broke up one of the most dominant dynasties ever seen (2000-2004 Lakers), but man I loved his intensity and the repertoire of ways he could score. |

Before I start this, I will acknowledge that LeBron is a fantastic all around player. That's fair to say, and his overall body of work validates that. For me, it's always been the way the media portrays the guy and a certain amount of entitlement that comes with it. They've treated him like a basketball god since he was 14, and with that comes its fair share of praise and criticism. Do I think he handles it well, probably as well as anyone would in the same circumstances. But let's not pretend he's a saint. This is a guy that thought the NBA draft rules didn't apply to him when he tried to declare for the NBA Draft as a junior in high school. Then he proceeded to get suspended from his high school team for accepting gifts (we all know that's a big no no for amateur athletes). But all of that was swept under the rug because we all knew where he was eventually going to end up.
I actually rooted for the guy, until the Decision. I'm of an old school mentality that a player should play for one team, likening it to that team gave said player a chance. Let's not forget that playing a sport professionally is a privilege, not a right, reserved for those who have the talent and work ethic to make it. So the whole Decision process soured me to him, because of the disingenuous nature behind the whole deal. We all knew he wasn't going back to Cleveland, that much was clear after the Boston series. It was the way the whole thing drug on when his mind was probably made up mid season. That's where I really started to see what felt like his true colors.
Then he arrives in Miami and they throw a ticker tape parade for the "Big 3" like they just won the championship. Now in comparing Miami's Big 3 to Boston's, you had three stars past their primes that came together and sacrificed stats for wins, building around the homegrown talent in place (in Rondo, Pierce when arguably Allen and KG were the better players). I didn't see that in Miami on LeBron's part. I saw Bosh and Wade sacrifice to fit LeBron's game and I believe it's the media's doing to a degree by making the narrative seem like it was the only way Miami could be successful (they know the organizations read and listen to it). I thought that was completely ass backwards because LeBron's game is more versatile, but there was not as much sacrificing stats on his end. But the big issue I really took with Miami (once again comparing with Boston) is that there was a structured hierarchy in place with Ainge and Doc Rivers as the figureheads. I didn't get that same vibe from Spolstra, and I think LeBron bullied him the same way he bullies the Cleveland front office by probably threatening to leave. The only difference is that the buck stopped in Miami with Pat Riley, where as LeBron's running amuck up there in Cleveland.
Then finally, LeBron says he's "willing to accept the challenge" and Cleveland welcomes him back with open arms, forgetting the way he sh*t on them. The media goes on their gush spree. The big difference is now they brought in a superstar via the draft in Irving and traded for another in Love. They hire a good coach in David Blatt. Then they lose last year, and David Blatt ends up being the fall guy because he and LeBron clash and Blatt stands up for himself, the kicker being they're still winning in the early parts of the season. Enter Tyronn Lue, who we've seen in a lot of instances (Iman Shumpert towel rack, allowing LeBron to go to Miami during the season to hang out with Wade, throwing Kyrie and Love under the bus many times over social media anyone?) basically lets LeBron call the shots. But because they're winning, no one addresses the problem.
The pattern here with my issue with LeBron is often times the same issue I have with another transcendent athlete, Jon Jones. Both guys are otherworldly talents who have basically had everything in their careers catered to them, and because of it they believe they don't have to conduct themselves professionally and when they are called on it they act like "who me"? Everyone unfairly criticizes me. It's so disingenuous that it gets sickening.

For 45 minutes I wouldve bet anything that OKC was walking away with a win, but some clutch 3s said otherwise. Tonight me, tonight was a culmination of the way Golden State has played all year. There were times throughout the year that it looked like a team had them down and out, only for them to turn it on with timely shooting and key stops. And I think it broke OKC, a team that for the first four games played beautiful basketball. We started seeing not only players, but Billy Donovan go away from what got the collective unit so much success. And the sad part is that OKC has by and large outplayed Golden State, but the inability to close (which has been a liability all season) has given the one thing you don't want to give them. An opening. Two days is not enough time to psychologically recover from tonight's loss and Monday we're liable to see the rails come completely off. |

I hate to say this, but OKC looked mentally defeated. They had Golden State by the throat and couldn't close the deal. Now that Golden State's confidence is back, I can't see them losing Game 7 at home.
