Awesome stuff. You can check out the full gallery here and follow the adventures of hacksawjimpuggan on Instagram.

Seeing this pug in these costumes is probably the cutest WWE-related thing I’ve seen since Wrestling Buddies from back in the day. Here’s missroseblood explaining how this project came together.

We watch wrestling together and I wanted to combine two things that provide me with endless hours of entertainment. Sewing is how I bridged that gap. His costumes are tailored to fit. Have had great responses from people who wouldn’t call themselves wrestling fans but do know who he’s supposed to be. Just want to add to the positive experience the sport is. And since everyone loves dogs, here it is. Any ideas as to who he should be next are greatly appreciated. So far he has been, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Macho Man Randy Savage, Rowdy Roddy Piper and The Undertaker. My list of future projects includes, Goldust, Ric Flair, HBK, Kane and El Genérico.

Love the Ric Flair idea, as his flowing robes are the stuff of legend. I’d also really like to see a “Stone Cold” Steve Austin costume too. Maybe have the little guy crush a few O’doul’s and dole out some stunners to pesky squirrels for good measure.


WATCH: The Most Unfair, Quickest Bouncer Knockout You’ll Ever See

Bar Fight Video Knockout

YouTube

Sometimes I see bouncers fighting drunk people and I think to myself “I really hope the bouncer gets it in this one.” Other times, I find myself rooting for the bouncer. Not that it really matters, of course, because the bouncers always win, but as a blogger I seem to like picking sides.

But in this video, I didn’t even have time to figure out who I liked more because the fight was over lickety-split. Hell, this thing was over before it even began. It probably ended in a knockout the moment this f*cking idiot took off his shirt and decided he had anything even resembling a chance against this 6’2″ 270-pound animal.

Yeah, those jabs looked real good kid, but unless you KO someone like that ASAP, you’re going to be fresh meat on concrete.

Not for nothing, the bouncer keeping the loser on the ground in that “Draw me like one of your french girls” poses has got to be the most embarrassing thing in the world.

In FIFA 17, user skills (and luck) are seriously important, but if you’ve got a player like Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo attacking the goal on a fast break, there’s little you can do about it except for hope that they mess up somehow. That’s why when before you start playing the game, it’s important to know who are the best FIFA 17 players. Because just like in real life, sometimes there’s no counter for the likes of Messi, Neymar and CR7.

Kiante Enis Child Molestation Charges

Kiante Enis, a freshman wide receiver at Indiana University, has just been dismissed from Indiana Football after he was charged and arrested with child molestation. It took the team less than one hour from the news hitting the wire to the time that he was cut.


Who Is Kiante Enis?

Kiante Enis is a freshman who verbally committed to Michigan before deciding to actually attend Indiana. CampusSports reports that during his senior year, Enis rushed for almost 2,400 yards and 35 touchdowns.


What Happened?

Kiante Ennis Mugshot

Kiante Enis was arrested and charged with child molestation after he admitted to at least two “consensual sexual encounters” with a child who was 13 years old or younger. The Star Press reports the piece of dirt could serve 16 years or more for his crimes if convicted.

Uhhh… Why Has It Taken Me So Long To Realize How Hot Sarah Paulson Is?

Maybe because she stars on American Horror Story and is always wearing weird clothes. Maybe because she’s dating a 70-something-year-old woman and that distracts me. Maybe it’s because she usually dresses relatively conservatively when walking a red carpet. Or maybe I’m a blatant idiot and should open my damn eyes, cause wow, Sarah Paulson is like really, really, dangerously attractive.

Sarah Catharine Paulson , born in 1974, is an American actress who began her career with the television series American Gothic and Jack & Jill . Paulson would later appear in comedies such as What Women Want  and Down with Love. Shortly after, she began acting in dramatic roles in films, such as Path to War and The Notorious Bettie Page. From 2006 to 2007, Paulson played the role of Harriet Hayes in the NBC comedy-drama series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, for which she received a Golden Globe Award nomination. In 2008, she starred as Ellen Dolan in the superhero noir film The Spirit.

In 2011, Paulson got her big break, when she began starring in the FX hit series American Horror Story, playing different characters in each of the show’s six seasons. For her work on AHS, she has been nominated for four Primetime Emmy Awards and won two Critics’ Choice Television Awards. In 2016, Paulson portrayed prosecutor Marcia Clark in the first season of the anthology series

In 2016, Paulson brought home her first major award, winning an Emmy for her portrayal of prosecutor Marcia Clark in the first season of the anthology series American Crime Story. Now, Paulson is becoming one of the most sought-after actresses in Hollywood.

Paulson has this classic beauty about her that we just find irresistible, so we gathered her hottest photos for you!

Billllll Nyeeee, The Science Guy! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Thank god for Bill Nye, cause, seriously, when I’m about four or five episodes into my binge, sometimes I question myself and where my life is headed. Luckily, thanks to Bill Nye and his BFF science (!), I don’t feel like such a piece of shit anymore.

The reason for this video is because Bill Nye is making his epic return to television with a new show on Netflix called Bill Nye Saves The World. If we’re lucky, it’ll be half as good as his show from the ’90s, Bill Nye the Science Guy. That show was my jam as a kid, so you can bet your ass I’ll be tuning into Nye’s new show to see what kind of sciencey goodness he’ll be serving up in 2016.

Week 3 of the 2016 NFL season kicks off tonight with a Thursday Night Football matchup between the 2-0 Houston Texas visiting the 2-0 New England Patriots. The Houston Texans, who are in first place in the AFC South, are coming off impressive wins over the Kansas City Chiefs in week 1, and the Chicago Bears in week 2. The New England Patriots, who are in first place in the AFC East, have looked equally as impressive to kick off the season. Even without legendary quarterback Tom Brady, the Patriots have opened the season with wins over the Arizona Cardinals and the Miami Dolphins.

After the shoulder injury that Patriots starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo sustained in last week’s game, third-round pick rookie quarterback Jacoby Brissett will step into the starting lineup. On top of that, tight end Rob Gronkowski has yet to play in a game this season. As for the Texans, the defense is it’s usual stout self, while the offense has looked impressive with the additions of quarterback Brock Osweiler, running back Lamar Miller, and rookie wide receiver Will Fuller.

Mark Zuckerberg and His Wife Are Donating $3 Billion To ‘End All Disease’ And Wait Whatttttttttt

I don’t know if y’all knew this, but Mark Zuckerberg is rich AF AF AF. Like, can’t-fully-wrap-your-head-around-it-rich. The CEO of Facebook is the youngest billionaire in the world, with an estimated $51.8 billion net worth. To put that in perspective, according to CNBC, The Zucks has made $4.4 million for every day he’s been alive. You know how they say walk a mile in another man’s shoes? A literal mile walk in Zuckerberg’s shoes will probably earn you enough money to live off of for the rest of your life.

While speaking at a San Francisco event to announce the initiative, Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan announced they will pledge more than $3 billion toward a plan to ‘cure, prevent, or manage all disease within our children’s lifetime.’

Via Metro:

‘Today, just four kinds of diseases cause the majority of deaths,’ Zuckerberg added in a posting on his Facebook page, citing cancer, heart disease, infectious diseases and neurological diseases. ‘We can make progress on all of them with the right technology.’

The plan includes creating a bioscience research center, called the Biohub, developing a chip to diagnose diseases, and ways to monitor the bloodstream continuously and map cell types in the body.

Two initial Biohub projects will be a Cell Atlas, a map of cells controlling the body’s major organs, and the Infectious Disease Initiative to develop new tools, tests, vaccines and strategies for fighting diseases such as HIV, Ebola and Zika.

The Biohub will be led by University of California, San Francisco professor Joseph DeRisi and Stanford University professor Stephen Quake, whose work includes small molecule screening and biological measurements. Dr. Cori Bargmann, a Rockefeller University neuroscientist, will lead all of Chan Zuckerberg’s science initiatives.

Any research, tools and material coming out of Biohub, which will work with a network of 10 to 15 laboratories across the world, will be ‘available to every scientist, everywhere,’ Bargmann said.

Pretty dope move on behalf of the Zucks & his lady. At a certain point, you have more money than you can spend in an eternity, so you might as well start pouring it back into the well-being of society.


The Loser Who Grabbed Gigi Hadid Is The Same Loser Who Tried To Kiss Will Smith

vitalii-sediuk gigi hadid

Vitalii Sediuk, a Ukrainian prankster/troll, admitted that he was the man who yesterday grabbed Gigi Hadid from behind. For his efforts, Vitalii was elbowed hard in the face by Gigi Hadid, who was clearly not about that life. He might even face criminal charges if Hadid and her camp want to file for assault.

Who Is Vitalii Sediuk?

Vitalii has long been known to Hollywood celebrities as a man who loves to assault and attack them for their reactions, then stand back and call it all a prank. A few years ago, Vitalii infamously tried to kiss Will Smith at the Russian premiere of Men In Black III.

Before that, he had buried his head in Leonardo DiCaprio’s groin while at the 2014 Santa Barbara Film Festival.

As for his reaction around the world, I think that it’s clear no one likes this creep or his stunts. GQ UK once explained that Vitalii is “the reason why Ukrainian comedy has yet to take over the world,” which in my opinion is the deepest burn Vitalii could ever receive.


What Happened?

As Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid were leaving an event during Milan Fashion Week, Vitalii snuck up behind Gigi, grabbed her and picked her up. Gigi was less than thrilled that some random person had just assaulted her, so she elbowed Vitalii in the nose. The troll then ran away as Gigi followed him for a short while, yelling “who the f*ck are you, you piece of sh*t!” before getting back in her car with her security detail.

Here’s what Vitalii the troll had to say about the incident:

“While I consider Gigi Hadid beautiful, she and her friend Kendall Jenner, have nothing to do with high fashion. By doing this I encourage fashion industry to put true talents on the runway and Vogue covers instead of well-connected cute girls from Instagram. You can call it a manifest or a protest. This is also a wake up call for Anna Wintour who turned Vogue into tabloid by putting Kardashians and other doubtful celebrities on a cover of a well-respected magazine.”

Dude plays hot, hot fire.

The icing on the cake is Slim Thug, who we’re happy to see is Still Tippin.

Slim Thug and the whole Swishahouse movement was my absolute jam back in the day, so it’s good to see kids these days respecting a legend. Of course, Slim is a Texas local so it makes sense that College Station would stay bumping his music. Check out the party below.

Kennesaw State Dude Hacks Into School Account And Goes All Robin Hood On His Friends Grades

Chase Hughes is a Kennesaw State University student and probably the best friend that anyone could have ever asked for. Chase was accused of hacking into the school’s system and then changing his own grades from a “B” to an “A” and the grades of some of his friends from an “F” to an “A.” Of course, he also stole some personal identification information from 32 of his KSU professors and some of his fellow students, but let’s not really concentrate on that little tidbit of information.

From Fox 5 Atlanta:

Kennesaw Police say Chase Arthur Hughes illegally accessed the university’s Owl Express program to alter his grades and the grades of four other students. Police say he also stole the personal data of his fellow students and, at least, three professors at the university.

Hughes reportedly used his girlfriend’s Internet to hack the system between May and September.

Using the professor’s professional accounts, police say he examined sensitive information, including employment history, credit, financial and medical information.

Hughes also recorded the usernames and passwords of, at least, 36 faculty members in a notebook officers found in his home.

Chase is a guy who takes one for the team. Not only is he bumping his grades up, he’s bumping up the grades of his friends from literally failing, to top of the class. No doubt that he’s a standup guy.

**Side note: What are the chances that he changed his friends grades drastically from an F to an A to make it look like they could have been the ones to do it? That would be some really serious hacker mentality type stuff.**

Wisconsin Student Gets Drunk, Emails Essay To Professor

McKenna Clark drunk essay

McKenna Clark is a freshman at the University of Wisconsin-Richland. Unfortunately, she thought it was a good idea to put off her Criminal Justice assignment to the last minute. If that wasn’t bad enough, her solution was a drunken rush job of an essay, concluding with “love you.” The next day she went through her sent emails and realized her mistake. We can only assume that she entered a panicked state at this point. Hopefully, Professor Grams cut her some slack and Clark was able to make up the assignment.

Clark went on to post a thoughtful little PSA on Twitter: “Don’t write papers hammered and then turn them in like me.” The PSA went viral with over 100,000 likes and over 36,000 shares. It’s safe to assume that someone from her town of Appleton, Wisconsin has found out by now.  If having an embarrassing moment go viral isn’t enough to make you be more considerate of your actions, nothing else will. We’re rooting for you, McKenna. You can read her full essay below.

Illegal to kiss on train (mala prohibita) talk about weather it should be illegal or not. It should be legal to kiss on the train because it is romantic. Professor Grams, my name is McKenna, I had some Dr. Pepper’s I am doing good. Your assignment is way too hard. I can’t do it right now. I am better now however, because the Dr. Pepper’s wore off I am now contemplating the assignmetn that you gave me.  It’s illegal to kiss on the train because it is a safety violation. If you are kissing while on the train you must realize that it could end up being dangerous. If the driver was kissing on the train, who would be driving the train. You are welcome.

Love you,

Charlotte Police Arrested Felon They Believe Killed Protestor Wednesday Night

Rayquan Borum has been arrested for the shooting of 26-year-old Justin Carr, a protestor in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department tweeted out the news this morning.


What Happened?

Justin Carr was shot and killed on Wednesday night outside of the Omni Hotel on Trade Street. Crowds had gathered there to protest the death of Keith Scott, who they believe was killed unjustly by the Charlotte Police Department.

It was at first believed that Carr’s death had also been caused by the Charlotte Police Department, but now that doesn’t seem to be the case. Carr was taken to Carolinas Medical Center immediately, but he died on Thursday. Reports indicate that he had been shot in the head.


Who is Rayquan Borum?

Rayquan Borum is a 21-year-old man who was arrested on Friday morning at 7 AM by the CMPD Violent Criminal Apprehension Team for the shooting of Justin Carr. Borum has been previously arrested for larceny & breaking and entering charges from Mecklenburg County. He served three months for those crimes. He has two pending gun charges that he has yet to face.

Joe Bruno, a contributor for WSOC-TV, tweeted out this photo of Borum’s mugshot.


Our thoughts are with Justin Carr’s family and the peaceful protestors out in Charlotte showing their support and solidarity. I don’t think it’s any stretch to say that things in Charlotte have been chaotic over the past few days and we hope that the violence ends soon.

It’s also important that we remember that Rayquan’s full story hasn’t exactly been made public.

Fantastic News: Hangover-Free Alcohol Could Be Here By 2050

Finally, scientists are working on something that will actually contribute to society. No more wasting everyone’s time trying to save the environment and cure diseases, they are working to give the people a real game-changer. I’m of course talking about the ability to drink a million beers and not want to jump off a bridge the following morning. According to The Independent, that glorious, hangover-free day is coming.

A new type of synthetic alcohol has been discovered which could allow people to enjoy the sociable effects of a few pints, but skip the hangover that usually follows.

The new drink, known as ‘alcosynth’, is designed to mimic the positive effects of alcohol but doesn’t cause a dry mouth, nausea and a throbbing head, according to its creator Professor David Nutt.

The Imperial College Professor and former government drugs advisor told The Independent he has patented around 90 different alcosynth compounds.

Two of them are now being rigorously tested for widespread use, he said – and by 2050, he hopes alcosynth could completely replace normal alcohol.

This is absolutely fantastic news. Not only will alcosynth give you a buzz, it also won’t damage your liver or heart. If only this stuff could prevent you from drunk texting your ex, then it’d really be perfect.

I just wish I didn’t have to wait till 2050 for alcosynth to rescue me from my godawful hangovers. My hangovers are already getting worse and worse, so I can’t even imagine how brutal a 2049 hangover is going to be. I might need a month’s bed rest to recuperate from a night out by then.

Sometimes in life, there you come across teachers and mentors who really care about you and how you grow as a student and person. They’re not doing it for the respect or the thanks, but because they’re good people trying to make the world a better place.

It seems like at least one particular teacher in Lubbock, TX is doing just that. High school student Hector Montez saved up some of his own money and bought his coach and teacher, Coach Walser, a pair of Coach’s favorite shoes: the Air Jordan 12’s. Apparently not only is Coach Walser a great guy, the dude has great taste. The Air Jordan 12s are about as fresh a shoe as there ever was.

Check out the amazing video and show of appreciation from Montez below:

Of course, now the videos are being shared by NBC Sports and Bleacher Report and everyone else, so Hector Montez is also receiving a ton of followers and support on his Twitter. What a sneaky smart dude. But also a good dude. Big ups big man.

Brook Lopez Net Worth 2016

The Brooklyn Nets are coming off a less than memorable 21-61 season. They are hoping to rely on center Brook Lopez to turn things around for them next season and they are paying him over $21 million this upcoming season to do so.

Lopez may not be a player that comes to mind when NBA fans talk about the best players in basketball but Lopez’s stats and contracts would say otherwise. In the upcoming seasons, the Nets center will be making over an average of $21 million a year. That is incredible, considering that Lopez’s net worth was $14 million a year ago!

Brook Lopez Net Worth as of 2016: $30 million

Let’s look at how Lopez earned his worth, on and off the court.


2008

Brook Lopez Net Worth 2008

With the 10th pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, the Brooklyn Nets drafted the center from Stanford University. Lopez’s brother Robin Lopez was drafted five picks later by the Phoenix Suns. A modest rookie season drew attention towards Lopez after scoring 13.0 points, 8.1 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game. He ranked 9th in the NBA in blocks and led rookies in that category. Lopez came in third in Rookie of the Year voting and made the All-Rookie first team.


2009 – 2012

After his rookie season, Lopez became a scoring threat for the Nets. With a delicate jump-shot and refined post moves, Lopez saw his stats rise. In the next three seasons, Lopez developed into the Nets star but that didn’t help the Nets overall. They struggled to make the playoffs but Lopez’s performances were leading him towards a big payday.


2013 – 2016

In 2012, Lopez re-signed with the Nets to a four-year, $61 million contract. Lopez proved to the Nets that he was worth the big bucks by making it to the 2013 NBA-All Star Game. The Nets were finally able to make the playoffs under Lopez but lost to the Chicago Bulls in the first round of the playoffs.

Around this time, Lopez started missing games due to injury. He played in only 17 games in the 2013-2014 season due to a foot injury he suffered against the Philadelphia 76ers. After missing the first two games of the 2014-2015 season, Lopez played brilliantly in his return, scoring 18 points in just 24 minutes. Lopez went on to have a great season with averages of 20.8 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 2 blocks. After the season ended, Lopez opted out of his contract and re-signed with the Nets to a three-year/$63,497,025 contract.

Before the 2015-2016 season started, Lopez’s net worth was $14 million. During the season, Lopez made more than he had in his bank account. Now, Lopez is worth over $30 million and that will only increase because he is guaranteed $43 million during the next two seasons.

Presidential Debate Hillary Clinton Donald Trump

The first presidential debate between Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump will take place Monday, September 26, at 9:00 P.M. EST. It will be held at Hofstra University, which has hosted debates during the last two election cycles. NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt is set to moderate. According to Election Central, all major networks will be live streaming including YouTube and Twitter. All debates are set to be broadcast live on ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC. Cable networks like CNN, C-SPAN, Fox News, and MSNBC will carry it as well.

If Clinton and Trump’s social media interactions are any indication of how the debate will go, we’re in for a hot one. Trump’s flippant remarks regarding everything from race to the war on terror has made him one of the most intentionally polarizing figures to run for office. Clinton on the other hand, has been dealing with the backlash of her ambition. Both have seemingly divided the country and drudged up some ugliness from supporters and detractors alike. This will likely have the highest viewership of any debate in history.

Date: Monday, September 26, 2016

This Dude Right Here Is Suing Emirates Airlines For Seating Him Next To A Fat Guy

via Mattino Padova

A couple words came to my mind when I read this headline: Aggressive. Bold. Ballsy. Those are adjectives that describe one Giorgio Destro, is suing Emirates Airlines because his journey was ‘ruined’ by his seat companion, who he claims made his trip from Cape Town to Dubai uncomfortable due to his rather rotund size.

According to Italian newspaper Mattino Padova, Destro, from Padua in Italy, reported that despite being a ‘gold member’ with Emirates, he was not allowed to change seats as the flight, and he was allegedly not offered compensation or apology by the airline. So what’d he decide? ‘F*ck it, I’m suing.’ I doubt money is any object to this guy anyway, considering he is a gold member with Emirates.

According to reports, Destro is seeking about $2500 (US) in damages for ‘spillover’ as the man’s large stature ‘encroached’ into his own seat.

‘For nine hours, I had to stand in the aisle, sit on seats reserved for the cabin crew when they were free, and in the final phase of flight resign myself to suffer the ‘spillover’ of the passenger at my side,’ Destro told Mattino Padova

As for the Curb Your Enthusiasm-esque selfie, he took it selfie as evidence of his in-flight conditions. On top of the $2500 for damages, Destro wants another $3000 for compensation, and a $850 dollar refund for the flight.

Honestly, I mean you can’t blame the dude – that’s one long ass flight to be uncomfortable for – but what the hell is the airline supposed to do? Not let fat people on? I don’t think so. The rich tend to be larger folk, and Emirates certainly aren’t turning them away anytime soon.

Props to my fellow Italian Giorgio Destro for not taking a shit.

You know those conspiracy theorists who are all like “Yeah the media and entertainment industry are just here to distract us from the real issues in the world”? We all have those friends. I’m lucky (?) enough to have multiple. Well, it’s times like these where I can’t help but think they’re right. North Carolina is literally tearing itself to pieces, yet 70% of the week has been spent talking about two movie stars ending their marriage. As my boy, Dr. Evil would say, “Whoopdy doo Basil.”

In comes Samuel L. Mothaf*ckin’ Jackson, who for about three decades now, has done nothing but speak the mothaf*ckin’ truth. Appearing on Good Morning Britain, promoting some movie (I guess?) called Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, Jackson was asked what he thought about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s divorce.

His response? Classic Samuel L:

Also, anytime I can work a Seinfeld, South Park, or Chappelle Show reference into an article, I do, so here you go (fun fact, the second guy to order was my screenwriting teacher at Rutgers):
