James Storm Discusses NXT Debut 

WWE.com has posted video of James Storm discussing his NXT match last night.

Lucha Underground Losing Star?

While a number of outlets have started citing an October 13 post with The Richest, where the site interviews Lucha Underground Executive Producer Eric Van Wagenen, the Observer is reporting that Alberto Del Rio/Alberto El Patron may be out for Season 2 and could be looking to return to WWE before WrestleMania 32.

And here we are on Day 2 of me taking over as the Bayless of the Blog.

Both League Championship Series happened today. The bats came alive in Toronto and the Mets could put down the Cubs tonight. And of course we have NHL and preseason NBA action going on at various places.

Entertainment-wise, I’m sure there are Back to the Future marathons going on all over the place, which means references should be continuing until midnight. I expect nothing less.

Hogan’s Restaurant Shuttered 

The Tampa Bay Times is reporting that a Best Western hotel in Florida that included Hulk Hogan’s Beach Shop restaurant has been sold for $34.5 million. The new owners plan to renovate the property and shut the restaurant down.

Forgot that Bayless is the one who usually does these…

Baseball playoffs continue tonight, and Toronto is getting shalacked as I type this. Mets head to Chicago to try and continue their streak. Hockey is also on the dole tonight sports-wise.

On TV, there’s Flash, Agents of SHIELD, Scream Queens and a bunch of other stuff.

Orton Injured

During last night’s episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said  Randy Orton has a dislocated shoulder and will have an MRI done shortly to determine if he needs surgery (Thanks for the last-minute heads-up, Bayless!). This, of course, has led to the Orton/Ambrose vs. Harper/Stroman match being pulled from the Hell in a Cell preshow, and it will be replaced with Neville, Cesaro and Dolph Ziggler vs. Rusev, Sheamus and King Barrett.

WWE Veteran Returning? 

Goldust replied to a tweet from a fan last night asking him when he would be back by saying, “Soon young Padiwan.” While he may be teasing a return, he may have also just been referencing Star Wars, as he was also tweeting about watching the new trailer shown last night…

Nash Breaks Kayfabe

Kayfabe Commentaries released the latest installment of its Breaking Kayfabe series today, as Sean Oliver interviews Kevin Nash.

Best. Headline. Ever. 

One of the headlines on WWE.com this morning focuses on Brock Lesnar’s appearance on the Stone Cold Podcast last night. The headline? Stone Cold Podcast: “I Really Don’t Like People.”

You and me both, pal.

Football, baseball, hockey!

Announcements!

Go for it!

And now we turn our attention to Queens as the Mets host the Cubs in game 1 of the NCLS.

Live from New York… It’s the Saturday Night Open Thread!

Have at it, people. We’ve got college football, we’ve got baseball later tonight and a whole bunch of other stuff going on.

Tonight, we go 40 lightyears outside the Buttermilk Nebula! At least until the sticker comes off and we get towed outside the City Limits…

The ALCS kicks off tonight with the Blue Jays at the Royals. I’ll admit to being more invested in the NLCS, since I live in Queens and I used to live in Chicago. As far as the ALCS goes, I’ve been to Toronto three or four times and I know that there’s a song that has the lyrics, “Kansas City, Kansas City here I come…” But I get why people here would be excited about that. I assume a baseball thread will pop up later to try and usurp this one, but that’s definitely NOT Streets Ahead.

Also, there’s hockey, stuff on television and maybe you can go catch a new movie. Goosebumps, anyone?  As usual, I’ll be stuck here at work.

I’m doing a lot of these lately. Talk it up!

Stuff goes on, we should have a place to talk about it all. I’m catching up on TV from last freaking season before I head off to work to waste what seems like a rather nice day in New York City.

Talk about anything and everything.

Tonight, we get ready for the Sophie B. Hawkins dance in protest to the school’s Sadie Hawkins dance. Will Sophie B. Hawkins show up? Or will the whole night be Britta’d?

Also, the MLB Playoffs continue tonight – can the Blue Jays continue on into the ALCS for our fearless leader? Will the Dodgers take down Queens’ favorite sons? Also, other games.

Talk about anything and everything, and hopefully Bayless didn’t post something to undercut me!

Brock vs. Show headlines the big card from the World’s Most Famous Arena tonight, which also features Rollins jobbing to John Cena (again) and New Day defending against those damned Dudley Boys.

I’m bored and want people to talk to, so here’s a Saturday thread for us all!

Seems like everyone is off to the Puppy Parade today, so try not to get stuck in a bottle episode while trying to find a purple pen.

Make sure you all have your goatees to celebrate the Mets clinching the division and heading into the playoffs. Also, other stuff.

Cool. Cool cool cool.

We’re back in the command center, here on the muthaship! It’s BoD Saturday Afternoon, and we be clubberin’!

We’ve got college football, baseball and pumpkin spice lattes (just kidding, all I want is a coffee with my bagel), so let’s get some non-bot conversing going, bay-bee!

So, we discussed this yesterday a little bit, and here I am to make it a reality. We’ve got a lot of Doomers here in the greater New York City metro area, so I was thinking of setting up a meet-up. Once I have an idea of who would be interested and a good time to do the thing, we’ll get down to specifics.

Anyone who would be down to be a part of the new greatest night in the history of this business, you can drop me a line, send me an email at [email protected].

Otherwise, feel free to continue on with your daily lives and ignore this.

Not a recap, not a rundown, just my thoughts watching Raw on a Tuesday morning, with a remote control in hand.

Seth Rollins is really getting a good feel for this “20-minute Triple H-style opening promo,” but he seemed to fade out there toward the end. Maybe next week, we can start the show with an actual match? HA! Who am I kidding?

Tonight on a very special evening thread, the blog comes together to agree that they won’t agree on anything. Ever.

Here’s your open thread for the evening – talk about baseball, football, fantasy baseball and football and anything else that comes to mind, even wrestling.
