Let's see if this works Based on various conversations - I finally figured I should upload this. http://youtu.be/I9jvNV9I9Rk Just a note before anyone bitches. I ripped this off a DVD that I made of random matches off of my copies of Dean's perm tapes. So it is basically 4th generation. But it is definitely good enough for government work.

Fantasy Booking Warning: Orton unifies the two titles this Sunday. Monday's Raw opens with Orton and the Authority in the ring claiming there is only one true champion, champion of champions, when unfamiliar music hits. AJ Styles walks down to the ring, grabs the microphone from Stephanie, and proclaims that are still two World Champions. He raises his TNA title triumphantly. The Authority and Orton stare at him in silence momentarily before breaking into a fit of laughter. Styles lowers his head in shame and walks to the back...never to be heard from again.

They all look like something a bird left on my windshield.

Dayamn.

We've all had that thought.

My first born child will be throwing with his left arm from the age of 4 months

Today I am youtube chaining Senegalese wrestling videos, thought you guys might enjoy some African Catch rasslin. That entrance blows anything Wrestlemania has done out of the water.

OK, this is where I get off. DVDVR won me over on Mark Henry and Chris Masters, but Ultimate Warrior pimping is a bridge too far.

"So there's a guy that spins around?" "Yes." "And he's called the Top?" "Yes." "And he dates a woman who used to be a figure skater?" "Yes." "And her name is the Golden Glider?" "Yes." "And there's another guy ..." "Please don't ask about the Rainbow Raider." "I was going to ask how you pronounce Killg%re." "Oh."

The only people who see Ryback and don't think "Goldberg" are kids and the internet crowd that overthinks it. I always wanted Ryback to scream crazy coke/roid promos, but he never did and his actual promos, outside the bully stuff, are just dreadful. It's really hard to buy into the guy. All the head shaking and snorting and stuff looks so phony. Some of that is the writing, most of it is the fact that Ryback is just some normal dude who works out too much.

Raven had the best theme music.

Goddamn there's some anger in this thing.

Still don't get it? People read your thread, but you cant have Michael Cera getting a Rimjob on the same list as Children of Men and claim thematic elements-! It's a foolish list that can't be tied together by any tone or style.

Is no one talking about this? http://youtu.be/6FgfOi_E_3U

Carrying the tie theme:

I don't know if I have anything constructive to say about Ryback's push, but I see people say Goldberg wasn't a good wrestler and was worthless after his streak died, and that is just wrong, damn it. First of all, Goldberg got really good at one point and was having good matches. Everyone points to the Havoc match against DDP, but he had good matches against Scott Steiner too, and he was a legitimately awesome big match worker on a consistent basis by the time he got to WWE. He got better pretty quickly. People always say things like "But, but, but the Lesnar match" when the crowd was the reason that it sucked and "But, but, but Regal made him look terrible in a random Nitro match" when that isn't the case at all and it was a legitimately awesome competitive six-minute match before Spear, Jackhammer, Splat. It's like people are desperate to paint Goldberg as sucky in the ring when he was absolutely not. He was green at one point, but he never flat out sucked. Second of all, Goldberg was rendered worthless by WCW's (mostly Russo and Nash's) stupid booking. He was still amazingly over, but he was made to look like an ass by the nWo numerous times (see: Fingerpoke of Doom, where how Goldberg is treated ended up as the very worst thing about that angle), ended up turning heel for some bizarre reason when the fans still wanted to see him destroy the nWo for good, and then ended up stuck in a feud with Totally Buff which he lost and was then taken off TV and pretty much killed dead at a time when the fans obviously wanted Goldberg/Booker T for the title and would have been open to Goldberg/Steiner for another round of matches, too. WCW tried to kill his heat about a billion times and then finally, when they couldn't do that, they simply took him off TV. He was absolutely not worthless inherently; he was just made so by every booker that he came across from the time that Nash started booking the shows.

This argument is dumb for a myriad of reasons, but the biggest one is simply the fact that Ryback wasn't even the guy's first gimmick or quasi-main event run. The fact he had his run as Skip Sheffield in the Nexus should kill idea of him being a main eventer dead since: 1) Him getting injured is a big part of what made the angle no longer work (hence he's not dependable, so Vince would never put the belt on him and give him a bigger workload after he couldn't handle the workload of being protected in a 8 man group) 2) He was in the ring with top stars constantly during that run (and hurt people in that run as well) so he really had no excuse for being as green as he was and still is. 3) If he had such great charisma he would have found himself in the #2 turncoat role of Nexus but nobody was ever really clamoring for him to get in that spot (that went to DB and then Otunga for God's sake). 4) HE WAS THE LEAST OVER WRESTLER ON NXT SEASON 1 BY MILES. He wasn't competing with the Cena's and Taker's of the world. He was on a show with 8 other complete unknowns on an even playing field and couldn't get a soul to notice him organically to save his life. So what makes you think he has the required it factor to be WWE champion? Even if he was over, it clearly wasn't anything he was doing right. His push against Punk was no different than the flavour of the week heels Cena and Hogan get fed during long title reigns or what Flair used to get for his NWA title reigns. He was never EVER gonna touch that belt, they just needed a guy to keep Punk busy. Saying "he was over, why not give him the belt" is like saying "hey, Earthquake was over after he squashed Hogan that one time, why not give him the belt?". Cause it makes no goddamn sense in the long run.

Girlfriend whines about getting married? No sells it and acts cool. Girlfriend whines about arguing with her sister? No sells it and acts cool. Girlfriend whines about her insecurities and not being able to relax in his home? No sells it and acts cool. Girlfriend puts sweat clothes in the nice clothes hamper? WHAT THE FUCK? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

As soon as I saw Children of Men occupying the same list as the Matrix sequels I said "fuck this thread." Outloud. My neighbors heard me. I hope they were watching Four Brothers.

Seems like the first thing Fandango's dance partner should be able to do is dance. Summer Rae can not. Fandangirl had the perfect balance of elegance and snobbiness. She was subtle, giving off the vibe that she wasn't really a bitch, just someone who happened to be with a bit of a dick. She was realistic. Summer Rae is too over-the-top, too mannered, too distracting. She's too obviously playing a character. I dont' want to come off all weird about Fandangirl the way some people do with AJ, so I'll just close by saying that I'm possibly in love with her, and if she was selling her shit on ebay I would probably buy it.

Maybe Col. Parker got Bunkhouse Buck to send his nephews The Young Bucks to poison the Briscoes' chickens in order to create a chicken shortage so the Colonel could increase the price of his chickens.

It's the Fargate.

Cena or Orton wins, and then HHH comes out, congratulates the winner, says they're retiring the two belts or whatever unified belt they're making, and then announces himself as new champion, revealing an undisclosed third belt.

Don't be ridiculous. That gumpy clown clearly couldn't deliver in a main event match, and the idea that he should have been put over and had the promotion focus around him is dipshittery

Some of those logos make me think of Wonder Woman.

Goddamn I don't even know if they ever wrestle but I'm HYPED.

Alternate WWE Network logos...

Are you really retiring on top when your last "win" was a fight you didn't win?

Most "YES" chants don't go much longer than 20 seconds. And can DVDVR just collectively agree to start ignoring Victator explaining that everyone other than 3 internet nerds agrees with him like most of us ignore Gonzalez arguing merch sales?

I've noticed a lot of people making races that are 200 miles long. I don't have the attention span for it, this isn't NASCAR. I've also noticed quite a few people making missions and putting the descriptions in Spanish. I'm like "?" Some guy attacked me and a buddy last night unprovoked and my buddy's all like "screw him, let's go do some parachuting," and I'm like "SCREW PARACHUTING, I WANT MY POUND OF FLESH!"

Hey I know a dude who doesn't get on the internet who thinks that Ryback is a Goldberg ripoff so since everyone is just completely making shit up in this thread, I'll definitively state that all casuals think Ryback is a Goldberg clone.

It be easier to read if we didn't have to constantly check your footnotes* *Which are as distracting to posts as kids are to movies.** ** See? THAT'S thematically the same.

"So, you're super fast." "Right" "And one of your two arch-enemies is a guy with the exact same power with the same costume, only the colors reversed." "Yes." "And the other one?" "He's a gorilla." "A gorilla?" "Well, he's from a race of super-intelligent gorillas that live in a hidden city. And he's telepathic." "...." So, once again, the best rogues gallery in all of comics: The Motherfucking Flash.

Sangre Chicana vs. Ringo Mendoza (10/28/83) Luchawiki says this is title vs. title, Mendoza's NWA World Light Heavyweight Championship vs. Chicana's UWA World Light Heavyweight Championship, but while both men came to the ring wearing their respective belts, the footage suggests that it was Chicana's belt being defended. That was the belt the wrestlers posed with during the photographs at any rate. Mendoza is a guy who's easy to overlook as just another maskless wrestler, but he was more important than you'd think. When he debut in '68, he was given a Native American gimmick and wore a headdress similar to Wahoo McDaniel. He was also given the ring name "Mendoza" in order to get a rub from Ray Mendoza. Like his namesake, he was an extremely successful singles wrestler, winning titles in both the middleweight and light heavyweight classes, which as you're probably aware by now were the weight classes where most of the best talent in Mexico presided. He was particularly synonymous with the NWA World Middleweight Championship, a title he held on five occasions from 1977 to 1981. The World Middleweight title was the focal point of many of the most memorable rivalries of his career, including names such as Perro Aguayo, El Faraon, Tony Salazar, and indeed Sangre Chicana. Chicana and Mendoza basically belonged to the same weight class and challenged for the same belts. When Chicana was the NWA World Middleweight Champion in 1980, he defended the belt against both Mendoza brothers, Cachorro and Ringo. Ringo later took the belt from Chicana in '81, prompting a series of rematches, but their feud wasn't simply a bit of tit for tat for the middleweight titles. Chicana and Mendoza were no strangers to hair matches and they were no strangers to facing each other in hair matches, either. During the late 70s through to the early 80s, tag team apuestas were a lot more common than they are today. Ringo and El Faraon formed a team at the time that took a number of scalps, including Chicana and Alfonso Dantes' hair in '78. Faraon turned rudo overnight in '81 by turning on Mendoza and aligning with Chicana, which was the catalyst for Mendoza teaming with his brother Cachorro. Of all the people Chicana hated at this time, and there were many (Fishman, MS-1, Satanico, Aguayo, and still to come Villano III), he seemed to have a special place in his heart for Mendoza. His hatred for Mendoza even managed to forge an alliance with Satanico for long enough to take the Mendoza brothers' hair. At this particular juncture, Mendoza was the NWA World Light Heavyweight champion having bested both Faraon and Satanico in the same year, two of his biggest career rivals, as well as Mexican National Tag Team champion with his brother. Chicana was UWA World Light Heavyweight champion having defeated Fishman three weeks earlier at El Toreo. Mendoza would go on to hold both titles until '85 while Chicana vacated his title in early '84, but this was really towards the end of their run as top middleweights of their day.

I don't recognize all of these titles, but there is at least one straight-to-DVD movie on the list. Lol. Compare that one to CHILDREN OF MEN.

Surely Goldust is flying the flag for great paintjobs right now?

A super intelligent gorilla with telepathy= RATINGS!

I'm sure to lose some people with this statement, but Temple of Doom isn't that good. Really, Raiders (despite its massive flaw) and Last Crusade (so awesome) are the crux of the series.

Trying to argue that Jonah Hill getting posessed by demon cock is an example of a film being "overly serious" is about as troll as it gets.

WHAT THE FUCK. How?

Alicia is really good and she's 1 of the only Diva's who has offense that looks credible and hurty.

I really want the rumor to be that the new Sin Cara is the Ultimate Warrior. Doesn't matter which Warrior either (I, II, or III)

So the Animal House ending.

"Let's find out who's really been trying to shutdown the WWE...." "PHIL MUSHNICK!" "And I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you meddling kids!"

I don't think he really watched any of these movies.
