Just did and....eewww. Gross. Also checked out bukkake after the blue khaki reference.
I don't remember any jokes about THAT during the Attitude Era, even from Val Venis the pornstar. Well, besides the "Money Shot" finisher. ...never mind.
I'm truly aging out of the intended demo when I have to start doing online research to understand promos.
There are few "wrestling logic" things that still manage to entertain me more than the way contracts work in the pro wrestling industry. I will always love the fact that anyone who manages to sign a contract is legally due and/or obligated to do everything stipulated in that contract, no matter what level of previous involvement they've had in contract discussion. And I loved how Cole acknowledged this as it was happening, he knew as soon as Austin caught sight of the clipboard that signing it would be ironclad and absolute.
Next time there is a contract signing for a World Title match, dudes should be running from the back to get in the ring to sign it. Why not, right? I'm waiting for the 1st 23-way dance for the title. "Hey, we all signed the contract, we're legally bound to be in the match!"

I wasn't at all offended by the segment. I figure any parent stupid enough to bring their children to watch people pretend to beat each other up are the same type of trash who keep open containers of alcohol within reach in the home, so they're not being exposed to anything new.
You're PHIL MUSHNIK, aren't you? You have just been UNMASKED!
Just saw the show. Shawn's selling of Trips/Taker was interesting. Cena's promo wasn't even close to the last one. Perhaps the lack of seriousness is due to the fact that they won't wrestle? Rock's promo last week was almost TOO intense and real to be useful if there isn't going to be a match. Sunny should be inducted by Shawn Michaels' penis. I haven't agreed thus far, but this week I got there: Cole made me FFWD most of RAW. Austin's routine is played but it's his shtick. At least for me. Can't expect him not to do it. And he was only burying Bradshaw, who won't be around forever. Also, Snooki, for what it's worth, is a much bigger star than Angelina. If you're going to get anyone from that show, her and the Situation are the ones you want. Ziggler has been upgraded to RAW, but did they have to put him over Morrison? Also, Vickie shrieking to sell her fear of Trish is...off. Trish doesn't strike me as this notorious ass-kicker who strikes fear in the hearts of the wicked.

Wait a minute... The contract had to have had JBL's name printed on it somewhere a couple of times, right?
But because Austin signed his name to it; that automatically changes the terms of the contract so that it's now valid for Austin? So the contract now reads something like:
----
I, John Bradshaw Layfield will be the guest referee at WrestleMania XXVII.
SIGNED: (Steve Austin).
----
And yes, I know this "Another guy signs a pre-existing contract that was written up for another wrestler" thing has been done before, but it's still a silly way to go about it.
Interesting that Jack Swagger (who came out to comfort Cole after he had the beers poured on him) didn't rush the ring to confront Austin. He's the only active wrestler out of the bunch in the segment, after all.
Must not've been feeling lucky.

I've signed plenty of paperwork which isn't name-specific. You just put your signature down then print your name underneath.

Or he realized how it would play out
I was surprised that Cole didn't get stunnered. But I guess that will have to wait until Wrestlemania.

You can assume I'm responding with the =-O face pretty much every week. I don't even understand how this is possible. The only successful anagram I ever made was 'gramming a girl's name to "Her: All-American Dyke." Which is also "Ee! Anally Dick-Ram Her." She's one of my better friends!

Ditto regarding the =-O face.
My most sucessful anagram was turning my own name into "Anal-Jammed Yaks" and I needed a computer's help with that one.

There's definitely a way we can figure the legalities of this out.

Actually, why hasn't there ever been a lawyer who wrestles? There's been a tax man which made no sense, school teachers, different 'Millionaires' which makes some sense, but never a lawyer.
Wouldn't he be the ultimate chickenshit heel? Always with a loophole, out clause, hidden provision or poison pill.
I'm not in love with the idea, but why the hell not. We can do better than Clarence Mason.

Luck and the time to find it. I've had a LOT of the former and I probably use more of the latter than I should. It's a lot easier when the show hands me the punchlines on a silver platter.

So glad someone else mentioned that.
Was thinking how great it would be if Truth came and said "HOUSTON, TEXAS". The guy from the crowd was the next best thing. Golden opportunity missed, WWE. For shame.

Well, as one of the resident grumps on the board who has been complaining a lot about things, I have to say this Smackdown was quite a decent little show. I dug most of what I saw, including:
-Rock/Hogan: I dug the promo something fierce.
