Welcome to Wednesday! Come hang out and chat with us throughout the day, talking whatever is on your mind!
This week in the Wednesday Walk: Jolene, the new queen of England, loads of bees(?), albino trees, time travel in art, children recreating paintings, interesting ideas from the mayor of Hell, marriage counseling from the dark ages, Terry Pratchett’s hard drive and our obligations to the dead, adopted kids, the urban planning implications of self-driving cars, and a llama costume contest.
Also check out the GWWE case for Kelly Kelly!
Here is a Topic of the Day as well: What is your favorite all time wrestling storyline?
Watching the 10/13/97 Nitro… that is when Debra reveals Jarrett is gone, so there really wasn’t much lag between hm leaving and showing up in WWF.
I am glad he is done, he was tedious in WCW during this run.
Also, Goldberg is 4-0!
I was watching the 1/5/98 Nitro a few nights ago. It has an awesome John Nord/Barbarian match.
Nord was great, wish he had a more sustained push somewhere.
Morning PTBN, hope all is well, just wondering if there will be a PTBN NFL Pick Em this year?
Yah I guess I can set that up
OK here is the info if you want to join the PTBN NFL Pick ‘Em. No cash on the line, just pride! If you were in it last year you should have gotten an email to renew… come join!

Wednesdays are a big GWWE day at PTBN – we have a new For Your Consideration (above), but also be sure to check out Stacey’s newest piece on the page as well today.
I am right on the edge of a big ass TStorm right now… hoping power holds up.
It’s pouring over here. Crazy thunder and lightning.
Just ended here, power flickered but held up.
PWInsider (i just saw the tweet) has a story up about Anthem looking to get out of GFW because they are losing a ton of money.
Who knew a company already losing money would continue to lose money as they expanded their roster and started to actually pay people?
What a disaster. They should have closed up TNA and just built from the ground up if they wanted in the business that bad. Jarrett does it again.
I know all the jokes, but i feel like this may really be the end. With Jarrett stepping down (a SI report today) in addition to his leave, feels like they’ll shutter this pretty quickly.
Shit show. A complete shit show. Makes you wonder if WWE attempts to scoop it up for peanuts.
Nikki Bella joining Dancing with the Stars
Should be some fun ads for that season of Total Bellas. “I look at that dance floor and I think, I should be there.” “Are you sure you want to risk dancing??”
WCW booked Raven so well… he is just starting to form the Flock and it is really well executed and Tony and Tenay get over the concept quite well. Kidman just joined on this episode.
Starting to look like Irma could make a hard turn east and avoid Florida.
St. Martin got leveled hard.
Looks like it should be a pretty bad night for Puerto Rico.
Yeah not looking good at all.
Chris Russo losing his mind over Apple Watch-Gate
“Dombrowski should get suspended and Farrell should be fired”
“Dombrowski sending MLB on a wild goose chase to try and find footage of the Yankees looking at YES cameras is ludacris.”
I think this is the first time that I agree with Russo.
And he HATES the Yankees.
They need to just own it, they clearly did it.
Firing Farrell would be doing the Sox a favor.

So, the new WWE Unreleased DVD is pretty damn great.
There may be a podcast miniseries in the works about that set…
An excellent idea – good buzz on the set for sure.
Heard there is a Yokozuna and Diesel Cage Match on there.
Indeed there is. It’s the last match on the set. Haven’t seen it yet.
That’s high on my watch list. I like Yoko a good bit. Really intrigued.
There is a great Rockers/Powers of Pain match from Jan 90 on here.
Excellent sendoff for Asuka on tonight’s episode of NXT.
