Anything Goes 21: Sears Tower has a big cap hit

[Illinihockey]

I watched Wresltemania with a ton of buddies today.

Missed the game (and the win!) for it, but it was worth it. Tons of fun. Great matches, crazy endings.

I thought it was very entertaining.

Very appropriate that the wrestling talk is in the 'anything goes' thread rather than a sports thread.

Its not a sport, its a TV show

 

[Kurtosis]

Yeah, it's entertainment/drama. I used to watch back in the day when Stone Cold and the Rock were big.

I watched it in like 6th and 7th grade. Preferred WCW, was a big fan of Goldberg

I know. I was being genuine that I'm glad it's not in a sports thread.

 

[Kurtosis]

I did hear last night's event was pretty good though.

Yet they showed highlights of it on ESPN sportscenter last night

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Well, it does stand for "Entertainment and Sports Programming Network," but considering how they completely ignored the XFL it is surprising to hear that they showed WWE highlights...

Well the XFL was neither entertainment or a sport so it does make sense...

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Did ESPN have NFL games back then?

Well it was the overnight Steve levy one that is a little different (e.g. they show hockey highlights) and they just mentioned who won but mostly focused on Ronda rousey appearing with the rock. Could've been some movie tie in at work too if Disney has any producing affiliation with furious 7

Yes. They have for the last 25 years, I believe.

I hate group projects. This moron in my group interviewed the same person as me for a project and didn't realize until yesterday, and then when he went to schedule an interview with the correct person he messaged everybody asking if he should go Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday.

It's due Thursday morning, when tf do you think you should go

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Friday seems like the logical answer to that question.

 

[Ace Rothstein]

Sometimes you college kids make me wish I was younger with some of your stories. Those like Marina just posted make me glad to be done with school.

 

[JaegerDice]

I'm not shocked ESPN covered it. They covered the whole Brock Lesnar retiring from UFC and signing an extension with WWE just prior to wrestlemania too. Rousey + Lesnar in the event ensured they would at least take a look.

WWE isn't a sport but it's certainly athletic. It's basically a stunt-man show with violent soap opera storylines.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Man, work was brutal today. Nothing like getting three lender packages that needed to be inputted before I left for the day after 4:45.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Yeah I hate when that happens.

I may not have any Monday/Friday classes next semester. Four day weekends.

 

[x Tame Impala]

Friday classes were the worst. Made that mistake once and only once

 

[Pepe Silvia]

My school has hardly any classes on Fridays. It's great.

I took a Saturday morning class once though, and that was pretty stupid.

 

[Illinihockey]

Business school at U of I didn't have Friday classes. Junior and senior year were really nice. Think I had an ice skating class at 9 AM on Friday morning my senior year though.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

I have two classes on Friday, an 8:30 and a 1:30.. And then lifting at 5:30. So my Friday's aren't fun or relaxing until later at night, which is pretty lame I must admit. It's tough to get a schedule here without a class on Friday, but my bro pulled it off and I'm pretty jealous.

I got a D in billiards soph year, it was a Friday only class I skipped for a month straight.
