  4. Nothing is more markish than "workers" having some unwritten code of how to act like a "real worker" and sitting around judging whether someone is conforming to it or not. Except, maybe injecting who knows what into your body so your pecs pop better when the lights hit you because otherwise some 70 year old perv won't notice you and tell his daughter and her husband what a fucking stud you are. Fucking marks, man. BURN IT TO THE GROUND, AJ....OLD MEN, ROID JUNKIES, AND MARKS!!!! BURN BURN BURN!!!!!!

  5. It's about the context of the story, not whether it's realistic or logical. If two wrestler's decide to tell me a story about one guy trying to break another guy's leg throughout the match and the guy with the nearly broken leg starts doing springboard dropkicks with no ill effects, that takes me out of the story. It doesn't have to be like a real life fight, it just has to have a continuity to what they're trying to tell. I've seen several matches where a guy gets his arm worked on and his finish is a lariat. And that guy tries to use that arm for the lariat and it fails him. And the smarter guys(from a character standpoint) decide to switch arms. It's a cool bit of psychology, that makes a match that much more engaging. It's not about being more realistic, it's more about the creating a story that connects with the audience through context.. You can do that with any style of match. There was a HUSTLE match in which a guy was shooting lasers. Psychology in that match was brilliant.

  6. I measure my age in Cusacks. I've always been two or three years younger than whatever age John Cusack is playing at any given moment. (He always plays a few years younger than he is, since he's actually 40 fucking 7 now!). Which worked out, because I would then see his movies on video a year or so after they came out and we would match up prefectly and he could be my template for what the next part of my life was supposed to represent. It worked out marvelously. So, when he was playing a nerdy freshman in SIXTEEN CANDLES, I was in Jr. High. When he was playing a directionless 20-year-old in SAY ANYTHING, I was a senior in High School. When he was getting ready to deal with his 10 year high school reunion in GROSSE POINTE BLANK I was just a couple of years shy of my 10 year reunion, too. By the time I saw HIGH FIDELITY, I, too, was in my early surly thirties. And when he looked back at it all with regret as a 40 year old in HOT TUB TIME MACHINE, I was 39. (and by the time I saw that on cable I was there). The one that hurts is GROSSE POINTE BLANK. I saw it in like 1999 when I was right there...one year to my 10 year reunion. I seriously related to that movie...it really hit...then the next time I saw it was in, like 2008 and I wasn't sure how I was supposed to react to it. Martin Blank was still 28. He was still headed to his ten year reunion. And here I was coming up on my 20th and pushing 40. I wanted to relate to the movie the same way I had...and I could remember those feelings. But that moment, and all it represents was gone. That whole thing about clearing out the mess of your twenties and starting over as an actual adult...I'd been through it and past it. I so wanted to be Martin Blank again...not whatever the guy's name was in HOT TUB TIME MACHINE. Close enough to 20 to still be able to horse around in your old girlfriend's parent's house one last time and be quoting The Specials and expect the people around you to remember something about their life when they hear it. But close enough to 30 that you don't feel threatened by anything back there in that past and are, in the end, heading off in a completely new direction that will end up defining your life more than any of that previous decade will. But, shit, now I've crossed two years into the 40s and Cusack is a fucking mess now and I don't know who I'm supposed to check in with on Starz anymore. I feel more Paul Giamatti than John Cusack right now and that's not the place to be. Fucking Giamatti.

  10. A. Problems with Execution. B. Problems with Theory. I know it's a lot of fun to be ironic and point out how people have been complaining and are still complaining but it's completely missing the point.

  14. Man this is reaching almost abusive levels with the Panthers. You love them week after week and they do nothing but break your heart. Maybe football would be more enjoyable if I just turned the tv off at the end of the third quarter.

  15. A Torneo Ci-Bear-netico??? Sorry, I'll show myself out. I think with Cesaro's giant swing from last week we might see a return of spinny moves on the indies. Davey Richards will probably do a 17 minute 38000 revolution Airplane Spin.

  21. I try not to ever put over my wrestling career on here, but I had to mention that I legitimately took an airplane spin for the first time in my 10 year career tonight. It was the most awful experience I've ever had lol.

  34. He did a show up here last season at halftime, and no joke... he was really quite fun. No one was more shocked than I. I am still not sure how he's got his way into NFL halftime level though. The Black Eyed Peas can be in only so many places.

  43. I wasn't sure, but at the same time I did not want to ruin a really cool story. The amputation issues were some dark stuff. My least favorite part of later Claremont era X-Books was the Cameron Hodge mega push. I never bought him as a villain big enough to give all three teams trouble. Slime ball business man, he is fine. Secret money man behind The Right, he was great. But big giant unkillable cyborg. Not so much.

  44. My son's favorite thing in the world is the Sheetz Mac & Cheese for some reason so every time we head through PA on the way home from NY - we stop there lunch. Joe speaks the truth about their pretzel melts. And Kyle speaks the true about Wendy's Pretzel Bacon Cheeseburger. It's insanely greasy. The first one I got I thought it was just poorly cooked and someone was sloopy. But the next three I got were the same. God I am going to die before 40
