  2. Ha! I actually work in the skyscraper on the top right corner. When I was a kid my mom told me there were 20 guys behind that sign smoking cigarettes who all exhaled at the same time.

  3. Why do I feel that Davey being called Pitbull in any fashion is a direct troll on this board?

  4. These are the sorts of names you make up on the spot and mumble out when you don't want to give someone your real name. All the WWE's fake names of late have been this way. There has to be one single person making these up, because most people would come up with something better (note, for instance, that nearly every indy worker's fake name is a thousand times better than the WWE's generi-wrestler names). So who is it? Triple H? Stephanie? Whoever their lead writer is? I doubt Vince cares about coming up with names for jobbers these days. Is Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards really less generic than John Cahill or Eric Philbin? You are just used to their current names, but if the situation was reversed we would be like "What kind of lame ass writer came up wtih Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards"

  5. I know ya'll are talking about this in the Movie Club, but I will defend Speed Racer to my dying breath. The Wachowskis said that they were making a live-action take on a 60s anime series, no more, no less, and that's exactly what they made. If you weren't already familiar with the source material I can see how you would think it was ridiculous, but those two made an honest-to-God love letter to that show and basically made the whole thing PURE Speed Racer. Also, John Goodman was THE perfect choice for Pops. "Was that a ninja?!" "More like a non-ja. It's embarrassing what passes for a ninja these days."

  8. Man, I hope so. If only to see the reactions of the over-the-top Davey Richards haters on this board--especially the guy with the "Davey Richards inside a steel Davey Richards" gimmick. Yeah. That dude is an asshole. Fuck whoever said that.

  9. Are people seriously retroactively hating on the Lawler/Miz stuff? Former great trying to prove he still has it against a mouthy young upstart is a tremendous story archetype. Shit, NOAH was basically built around it for the last five years of Misawa's life. Every Clint Eastwood movie since 1992 has been a variation on this theme. I also don't buy at all that the feud with Lawler devalued the title. Miz was very clearly a heel transitional champ, even from the very beginning. If you felt when Miz won the belt that it was a changing of the guard, you were probably upset with the Lawler mini feud. If you realized a head of time that Miz was destined to lose to Cena, it was good TV and a pleasant surprise that he made it all the way to Wrestlemania. Also, that promo he cut where he was walking backstage and talking about how JBL bullied him and no one believed in him was money and doesn't get mentioned enough as one of the better promos in the past few years.

  11. I can't get the QUOTE function to work, but RandomAct makes a good point: I used EGO because that's what I've been dealing with lately, but a lot of it IS just being green, etc. Sometimes you get wrapped up in the moment and you so want to shine that...yeah, you screw up and make it about you when it isn't supposed to be. I had a guy who was helping me with getting sponsors, and was working as a heel manager. He was able to get some good heat...but then his ego got in the way. He cut a ringside promo he wasn't supposed to, post-match, and the two babyfaces his team beat (who themselves have some raging egos), gave him a baseball slide to the back when he wasn't looking and knocked him down hard; he came backstage looking for justice. I very curtly pointed out that justice had, in fact, already been dished out...and reminded him even more curtly that the show didn't revolve around him.

  12. Interesting. So for the most part, the outside folks you've worked with try to get themselves over and not the match? That DOES happen alot, but it really depends on where you're working. I've never really dealt with someone's ego getting in the way, but I've dealt with tons of inexperience, be it managers or refs. That will frustrate you just as bad, because they miss basic stuff that you would think they learned in training. Of course we've all dealt with bonehead refs with tons of experience too.

  13. Not to be too vague, but it basically depends. Straight edge, like any dogma, varies tremendously. Generally, the people I know draw the line at recreational drug use. If it's "mandatory" - i.e., required for surgery, disease treatment, etc. - you take what you need to, but for no longer than needed. Maybe it's worth noting that many straight edge kids tend towards veg*n diets, and abstain from out-of-committed-relationship sex. So it's not like Punk has a perfect score on his edge card anyway, if we're going by the most strict rules.

  15. Masters of the Universe because despite all of its goofiness, it had some really inspired stuff in it. Had some legit good costumes and FX for its time, and Frank Langella as Skeletor was badass. I'm disappointed Gary Goddard didn't get to have more of a film career because he comes off as a clever guy. Mattel wanted to put like every MOTU character in it and he saw how stupid that was. I remember reading an updated MOTU script by Justin Marks when the project was getting some more traction about 6 years ago. He jammed like every character in it and none of them had any impact at all. Zodiac gets introduced on page 5 to be Adam's Yoda and gets killed two pages later. Seriously. I think it's looked at more fondly now, but I've always enjoyed License to Kill and pre-Casino Royale, it was still one of my favorite Bond films. I think Robert Davi was great as a scumbag drug cartel dealer. I loved seeing Bond on a revenge trip. I like watching it today even more because of all the familiar faces that pop up in it that I recognize now.

  16. One of my friends who was a grade younger than me snuck a bullhorn into our senior graduation and imitated the Souled Out announcer when a couple of guys we hated went up to get their diploma. The principle would call their name and my friend would yell, "American Male...LOSER" into the bullhorn. He got about three of those out before people started looking for him and he took off without getting caught.

  23. On paper, this looks like the worst Survivor Series card of all-time. Big Show Vs. Randy Orton? John Cena Vs. Alberto Del Rio AGAIN. Punk/Bryan Vs. Rowan/Harper? ...UGH. Langston Vs. Axel rematch? Jesus... 7 on 7 Divas match!?!? Are you kidding me??? Cody Rhodes & Goldust, The Usos & Rey Mysterio vs. The Shield & The Real Americans is the only match with potential...and we've already seen The Rhodes Brothers & The Shield about six-hundred times. Who the Hell would pay for this card?

  28. Here's a few random pics that I'm saving on my cloud accounts before the Commodore 64 I've been using loses it's shite. Again. If ya'll dig em I'll drop some more jpg's this way. Enjoy! Here's some wrasslin paintings, digital and mixed media artwork; Ouchie. HOMICIDE performing "Da Cop Killa" thru a car windshield on some unlucky goof. In the amazing world of professional wrestling, Donkey Kong(or maybe Don K. Kong?!) finally gets revenge as he sits down into the Texas Cloverleaf on a not so super Mario. I've always dug ULTIMO DRAGON(the ONLY bad-ass to hold 9 belts at one time), it's almost as if he's perched over top of the wrestling world...awaiting time to return. Motor City Mapleleafs?! Bad ass, nuff said. Bane's mask is backbreaking bad-ass...but it's no match for Bat's stache. ROWDY RODDY PIPER will always be known for kicking major ass in the flick "They Live". Slick tie-in with this famous catchphrase, adding Big League Chew sinches it. I hope the images appeared on here...

  36. RIPPA RETRO NXT WORKRATE REPORT – MARCH 6, 2013 WHAT WORKED Show opens with Dusty Rhodes ON THE STICK~! Since it is just Dusty by himself this week – I will give him a pass on booking the same triple threat match from last week. But hey – Dusty is paying out of his own pocket for extra security. We get a fatboy Kassius Ohno interview to continue the slow burn for Ohno vs. Regal. I liked the inclusion of referencing Richie Steamboat not being around. So who gets to squash Yoshi Tatsu this week? The winner is… LEO KRUGER! COME ON DOWN! As opposed to the tag match below, I don’t mind this kind of one sided affair as the crowd is into Tatsu so there is some heat to the match and I prefer Kruger’s “I’m going bend your arms and fingers in ways they shouldn’t” offense. Welp, it looks like the Kruger/Justin Gabriel feud MUST CONTINUE~! You know – I am going to spotlight Aksana for a second because during the nightmare of a match (see down below for the rest) Aksana of all fucking people has the presence of mind – after Naomi (with the help of Audrey Marie) totally screwed up her finisher – to improvise a pin break up and then a brawl (you can see her wave in Alicia Fox to help with the ref distraction) just so Naomi could do everything over again. So yeah… it’s a good thing she isn’t on the main roster helping folks muddle their way through matches. Sigh… Renee Young probably should have screen tested her top before going on camera. I think she would have wanted to realize it was so sheer. God – why did the WWE never do these great Shield grainy video inserts? Oh because they are stupid. I don’t think any of us would doubt that Dean Ambrose really did own a bunker that these were being shot out of. Bray Wyatt spends multiple segments with his hands in his pockets as he basically embarks on a walkabout and he is still the best guy on a very disappointing week of NXT. WHAT DIDN’T WORK Man – I didn’t realize that we didn’t even get one single tag title defense from Adrian Neville and Oliver Gray before Gray blew out his knee. Poor poor probably roided out fella. That means we have Neville pretending he has no idea where Gray is and deciding to just wrestle the tag match by himself. He is taking on NXT Enhancement Talent (which still makes me way happier than it should ) Judas Devlin and Scott Dawson. One of those two dudes (who I may or may not be able to figure out which) is wearing some great Florence Griffith Joyner-esqe tights. He also has so many hideous tattoos that I am shocked he isn’t being pushed in TNA. Okay – that guy is Judas Devlin. Ah… here is Gray storyline reason for being out – The Wyatt Family takes him out in with a phantom beatdown (just don’t tell Meltzer I called it that or will be here forever). Mind you Neville was so distraught about his best friend getting destroyed that he finished the match first before checking on Grey. CLEARLY THE TERRORISTS HAVE WON! Throughout the show – they give the men in the triple threat promo time. O’Brian’s is done in that shitty purple lighting and fog that makes it look like the camera was smeared with Vaseline. Graves, during his, does what one could best describe as a potty dance. And Jesus Mary and Joseph – How the fuck did I never notice Bo Dallas’ speech impediment? Quick! Best Buy needs a tech expert! Get the Middle Eastern Dude! I see nothing wrong with this! A 6 Diva Tag Match. WHY WON’T ANYONE THINK OF THE KITTENS??? It’s Sasha Banks and The Funkadactyls vs. Aksana/Alicia Fox/Audrey Marie. Or The Sistas vs. The Letter A. Clearly NXT is being booked by the same person who makes the US Open pairings. I guess if you needed proof that Banks doesn’t have fake cans just look at the shot of her standing in-between Cameron and Naomi. Good Christ – WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TEACH THE DIVAS THAT YOU DON’T STAND ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE APRON IN A SIX MAN TAG!!!! This is easily the worst match I have seen on NXT so far. Naomi fucked up her finisher so much that they had to redo it. So much fail. Is it too much to ask that Tony Dawson learns the name of at least one move? Two weeks of filler just to get back to Conor O’Brian as the #1 contender to Big E Langston. Sure glad I had to sit through like 30 minutes of nonsense for that.

  40. From what I can remember: Starrcade '98 VS Nash Starrcade '99 VS Bret (Montreal Screw Job finish) Fall Brawl '00 VS Scott Steiner Sin (w/Dewayne Bruce) against Totally Buff (ate the pin after being maced by a fan and a Doomsday Blockuster) Armageddon '03 IIRC he ate the pin in the triple threat against HHH & Kane. Found a site that also has: 10/25/99: lost U.S. title to Bret 12/20/99: lost Starrcade re-match to Bret 7/24/00: lost to Booker T So there's at least 8 televised jobs in Goldberg's career. A dark match loss to Chad Fortune. The Elimination Chamber
