Hey! It’s Monday… some of you are off for the holiday, others aren’t, but either way, you can spend some time chatting here! Of course, RAW is tonight so we will be talking and covering that but here are a few other things to keep you busy too:
If you are in the mood for some 1993 nostalgia, on Greetings from Allentown Peter recapped the 7/11/93 episode of WWF Challenge, which covered the USS Intrepid showdown between Yokozuna and America!
Also, from the archives, JT breaks down other possible candidates besides Lex Luger that could have slammed Yokozuna on July 4, 1993 in this piece
We also have plenty of NJPW’s G1 Special coverage as well from Ioan and the Strong Style boys! See you in the comments!
Jersey Shore marathon on MTV!
Yes! What season?
Uno
The best one, fantastic!
The forgotten JWOWW & Pauly D romance…
And Situation & Sammi! What a time!
“The party is in Pauly D’s pants tonight!”
Pauly was the smartest dude on this show… you can see the shift where he realizes he needed to change his personality from typical guido to likable dude to help his DJ career. And it worked, everyone liked him the most by the end.
Someone I know went to URI and is a DJ on the side and actually knew Pauly before the show. Said he was a decent enough guy.
Yeah one of my oldest friends went to Johnston High School with him… said he was nice overall, never had any issues.
On the other end of the spectrum, a buddy of mine works as a reporter and met with Snooki and said she is an awful person.
Not a shock, comes through pretty clearly on the show.
“It only takes 9 pounds of pressure to break a nose.”
I loved Pauly all the way through the show. He and Vinny are about the only likable ones throughout the whole show.
Jeez, poor Maria

Awful news.
Terrible to see this.
OMG. That’s terrible.
When I click on a link here it doesn’t open to a new tab, is that my settings (i suck at IT) or is that maybe a fix you can make for the chats?
Yeah need to look into how to amend that. For now, best bet is to copy the link and paste in a new window… will see if we can adjust the settings.
Try right clicking and selecting open in a new tab. We control how ptbn urls work but not ones in Disqus comments unfortunately
“Lose five or ten pounds and we can talk” … Situation laying the boots to Angelina
NBC News: Led by freshman Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, a group of growing Democratic co-signers has put forth a bill that could force President Donald Trump from office if he were found mentally or physically unfit.
Although it was introduced in April, the bill has gained steam in the past week as Trump’s tweet storms have grown in ferocity.
“We were listening to house music and battling on the floor” is a legendary excuse for cheating.

Can’t blame him. LeBron is gone next year and it’s going to be a mess to clean up.
If LeBron goes to the Lakers, does that make the Celtics the best team in the East?!?! If so, that’s crazy.
I can’t see LeBron staying in Cleveland at this point. He did what he came back to do… he should be allowed to pursue the best chance for rings. LA with George makes sense… but the West is so stacked does it really give him the best chance? Will be interesting…
The West being loaded is why i think he stays in the East. Be interesting to see how Cleveland would handle him leaving again even though he finally gave them a ring. Softens the blow, I’m guessing.
The Snooki gets punched episode is upon us!
Think I’ll start my Summerslam kick soon and might start with 88. Haven’t watched it since I rented the tape years ago.

Many taters will be mashed.
It’s not exciting per say but the Hart/Backlund Survivor Series match is pretty great. I love all the reversals and the chain wrestling the two do.
One of the best examples of pro wrestling as a morality play.
Yes it is a fun watch for sure… so different than anything else. Having now watched all the 94 Raws helps with context too… shows just how elevated Backlund was in that stretch.

Looks like the Broken gimmick is getting even closer to showing up in WWE…Hardys are about to work out a deal with Anthem, per Matt on Twitter.
WONDERFUL!
They’d have to give Matt as much leeway as possible. It has the potential to be huge if they don’t mess it up.
Kevin Durant to re-sign with the Warriors. 2 years/$53 million
Hey, yo:
Anybody planning on seeing the sweet festival movies released this month: “The Big Sick,” “The Beguiled,” “Baby Driver,” or “Okja?”
I am very much looking forward to seeing Baby Driver. The Beguiled looks interesting as well.
