Bitches be crazy? especially when they have their first period, or their mom starts bitching about their room not being clean or their lousy report card. That drives Jerry over the edge.

New Jack is such a good fucking promo.

Demolition were better than the Road Warriors.

If that match isn't on tape somewhere, then that is a goddam national tragedy.

Just say he moved to Boyle Heights and used to live in the Latino section of Paducah, KY. Problem solved. PJ should team with Paul London. (aaaawoooooo Darewolves of London) I'm so sorry

My partner was asking me who I was rooting for in the big game, and I said I'm torn, because I want to see Cam win because it will bother dumb racists, but I also have been annoyed by Vincey Greene's football ego all year. I was told that racists feeling bad is a better reason for rooting interest than being internet mad, so GO PANTHERS.

I personally wouldn't proclaim Demolition the best team ever, but I can see the argument especially considering the handicap they were saddled with.. Eadie, Darsow, and Adams managed to work within the confines of the Demolition monster brawler gimmick even though they all had extensive backgrounds. Eadie left his Masked Superstar arsenal in the locker room just as Darsow shied away from breaking out any of the signature moves gleaned from the billions of spots spots he'd used over dozens of gimmicks. And then there was Brian Adams, trained by Inoki and possessing a solid boxing and karate background, yet he did not incorporate any kicks or utilize his pugilistic skills when donning the Demolition Crush gimmick.. All that unused technique and Demolition still managed to stay in the title picture, wrestle smart, work stiff, and get convincing wins over really good teams. Demo kept it simple. They just beat people up. Best team ever though? I think my vote would go to either The Road Warriors, Williams / Gordy, or Hase / Mutoh, I think it is sad that the youngest member of that team died first.

I think being the father of one of wrestling's premier families should entitle him to a spot. Though some might use his infidelity against him.

Look at their faces Foley is the only one transfixed with the possibilities. The only who recognizes the power of the future. The only one already wondering how to harness this to connect with your favorite porn starlets.

I feel like this deserves a thread of its own so these things don't get lost in the "legit" movie of the month threads. I originally was going to title this "B Movie TV Report" after my favorite Roku channel, but I think it's bigger than that and that's too limiting. Everyone post here whatever amazing B-D grade movies they've just discovered or revisited by whatever means, app, sleazy DVD company release, VHS found at a salvation army store happens to have GALAXINA on it after an episode of A.K.A. PABLO. It all counts: Zombies Zombis Blaxploitation 80s vigilante movies slashers cheap american karate movies where roller-slating, BMX biking, arm-wrestling, disco dancing, break-dancing, or water skiing are done competitively or as a biblical allegory Star Wars ripoff movies where everyone is obviously Italian anything with the word "reform school" in the title anything with the words "spring break" in the title anything that mixes "ski" "swim" "stewardess" "beach" or "up the" with the word "academy" The complete Bolo Yeung catalog and so so much more. Tonight's Report, courtesy of B-Movie TV (on Roku): TUFF TURF (1985): Quintessential 80s "small town kid moves to tough hip LA high school and battles with punks for a hot girl in a half ass-ed West Side Story ripoff." It was directed by the guy who directed CHILDREN OF THE CORN. I don't know why that matters but somehow it does. If nothing else he seems to have s strong unconscious belief that youth is a plague of cultish death and that the power and strength of the young is a grotesque masque of violence and a danger to us all. Basically remake the KARATE KID without karate but with more of a DEATH WISH 3 vibe. But this one is special. The main kid is a super young, super thin, super ripped, super coiffed James Spader. This was a year before PRETTY IN PINK, so adjust you Spader hotness expectations accordingly: The "he meets the first day who becomes his sidekcik/ally" is a super young, super thin, super coiffed Robert Downey Jr. This was months before he was even the bully in WERID SCIENCE so adjust your Downey Hotness expectations accordingly. The girl in question is a super young, super hot, super coiffed Kim ("Now she's a screeching hutt of a real housewife of Beverly Hills") Richards. This is a year after MEATBALLS PART 2, so adjust your Richards hotness expectations accordingly. Her hair is, of course, about seven feet long, and has a different pattern of braiding, headbands, and dayglo shading in every scene. Now, no one buys Kim Richards as a bad girl gang chick, but the whole point is that she is going to transform into a scared wounded butterfly and she's pretty perfect for that. Like her hair gets progressively less braided as she gets progressively more wholesome. Hair allegory! Hairllegory! Also one of the other gang chicks was Leila in REPO MAN and that's royalty. To get yourself in the right mood for this movie, listen to this: The hair, the clothes, the music are all amazing. Spader has an older brother who is an evil preppy and who is literally wearing an izod shirt with a sweater tied around his neck. It's like a wax museum reproduction of the essence of the 80s. For me the best scenes are the random interstitial scenes of crowds of teens wandering around a school or club. The sheer weight of 1985 chic is overwhelming. Like many 80s movies, this is basically a musical. The soundtrack is constant and as often as possible is supplied diegetically with a band playing or someone listening to a boombox. there are at least six scenes that have no dialog, just teenagers congregating and dancing, and yet somehow the plot is moved forward by all of these scenes. It's amazing...the power of dance. Oh, God, the closing credits unfold over another dance scene! This one celebrating the death of a 17 year old thug! It's like the end of RETURN OF THE JEDI. As such there are at least 16 people in the credits just as members of various bands and about 35 listed just as "dancer." There is literally a dance number in this as Robert Downey Jr.s band plays in a typical "empty warehouse that is somehow also a teen club" and Spader seduces Richards. As I write this, Kim Richards is doing a full flashdance number in a bar. it is amazing, and the asshole who labelled this the 'worst 80s dance sequence ever" can go fuck himself, but I'm linking to him anyways because you probably need to see this: That dance scene leads right into another dance where they make out and then another one where they are running from the gang guys. THIS MOVIE IS 90% DANCING BEACAUSE LIFE IN THE 80S WAS LIVED THROUGH SYMBOLIC MOVEMENT!!! Once that is set in motion, it's a lot of Spader/Richards/Downey trolling yuppies while avoiding her former street gang members out to get her back. At one point Spader hijacks a country club piano and sings a song to Richards...did you not see what I just wrote JAMES SPADER SITS DOWN AT A PIANO AND FOR A FULL 5 MINUTES WE LISTEN TO HIM SERENADE KIM RICHARDS!!! Just know this: In his 25th year, James Spader, pretending to be a high schooler, spent some hours learning and rehearsing this in his apartment in L.A. singing this. And then spent a whole day in a recording studio pouring his heart into this. And then spent a few weeks rehearsing how to look like he's playing the piano while lip synching to himself. THIS IS THE LIFE OF AN ARTIST!!! THIS IS WHAT THE CRAFT IS ABOUT!! Obviously this is all going to get very violent in Act III when the punks and then and we go into full-on 80s vigilante movie territory....and a scene where Spader is brutally "Private Pyle-ed" in a locker room is pretty intense and would probably have scared 12 year old me into asking my parents if I could go to a private school...but I don't know how that matters after what you just saw/heard. Just know that you need to find and watch this movie. This is also in there: So soundtrack is LEGIT, MAN!!!

Point of Order - I don't care which version of Demo you post, just keep it the Demos (meaning not Darsow's 5942 other gimmicks, etc...) But here ya go - Best Tag Team ever according to lunatics who have posted on this board. http://youtu.be/atPNZsDm240 http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2lrh74_demolition-vs-genichiro-tenryu-koji-kitao-wwe-wrestlemania-vii-march-24-1991_sport vs. Tenryu/Kitao

Honestly Owens was the best player in the whole potential class. Top 2 at his position. Favre isn't even a top 10 QB.

Main Event 2/3 #175 The Usos & The Prime Time Players vs The Ascension & Stardust & Tyler Breeze The Prime Time Players are back together! Nice Flair flop into a tag by Breeze early on. Lawler gives a shoutout to Lance Russell during the match since they're in Memphis. Jey Uso gets trapped in the ring and plays face-in-peril for much of the match and it's pretty fun. Lots of quick tags by the heel team and some good teases for the hot tag. Darren Young is the one who receives the hot tag and (good) chaos ensues. The finish is nice as Titus makes a blind tag, the Usos hit a double dive and Titus finally hits the Clash of the Titus on Stardust for the win in 13 minutes. It's hard to go wrong with a six or eight man tag if everyone's working hard. Jack Swagger beat Fandango with the Patriot Lock in 3 minutes. Not much to it. Paige & Natalya vs. Naomi & Tamina As an overall match, I was disappointed by this but there were some individual parts that I really liked. Naomi definitely has something and would probably benefit greatly from going the Emma route of heading to NXT for 6 months and coming back fresh. Paige's knee based attacks all looked really good. Nattie's hot tag was solid. And Naomi's submission is cool and she was the right person to go over given the current direction. Those were all the positives. The negatives were a lot of the things in between the moves. Paige just grabbed a headlock and sat in it for no apparent reason so when Naomi came back with some flashy kicks it felt like a babyface spot. Tamina should never wrestle. Constantly out of position or slow to get in position and her power stuff doesn't even look all that good. I'd say replace her with Nia Jax but Nia might be just as bad as Tamina. Ultimately Naomi won clean with her submission move on Natalya in about 12 minutes. Superstars 2/5 #356 Jack Swagger & Mark Henry vs. The Ascension Is this a rib? We're doing this again? To everyone's credit, they actually did something different this time. Mark Henry looked to be hurting quite a bit while he was running and then he takes a damn bump over the top rope to the floor. WHY MARK WHY? Swagger is the one who gets the hot tag this time and gets the Patriot Lock on Viktor in about 4 minutes. Credit to them for mixing it up. If Mark really is retiring, it'd be great for them to build him and Swagger up to challenge New Day at Mania. Stardust vs. Zack Ryder Woo woo woo, the crowd still likes Zack. One of the things I like about C shows is when a guy like Zack gets 10+ minutes and is clearly fired up about it. He was hitting missile dropkicks and slingshot splashes and even a top rope frankensteiner! I've developed a pet peeve with Stardust because he'll create an opportunity to do some limb work and never follow up. I don't think every match needs to be focused on limb work but if you're going to do a sweet dragon screw leg whip using the ropes, you should follow up on it. Zack got to shine a lot in this match but Stardust pulled him off the top rope and hit the Queen's Crossbow for the win in 11 minutes. I'll give the best match of the week to the 8 man tag from Main Event but these were all worth watching.

Russo antics aside, I thought Steiner vs. Goldberg was a great match of two guys with seemingly unlimited power.

Well yeah pretty much.

I can't get over you thinking the in ring work didn't change to read the rest of that Seriously What the fuck

I wonder if there was a story behind why Rick Steiner and Chris Adams started beating the shit out of each other in a 5 minute Nitro match in 1999. Note that Rick Steiner moves more on the recoil from his own punches than from Adams' forearms.

Looks like the Konnan and friends era are over.

NO, BUT IT SHOULD BE.

That was just a Jake tall tale. If that was a legit guitar, it would not have broke at all. I remember taking even the cheapest of acoustics and trying to break it against a solid metal dumpster and had to swing it 5 or 6 times to even a piece of the back to break off. You just don't have the power of the Honky Tonk Man.

And neither of them could hold a candle to Walter Payton or Jim Brown.

I always enjoyed this Kafka quote, and it applies to movies as well: ‘I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us. If the book we’re reading doesn’t wake us up with a blow on the head, what are we reading it for? So that it will make us happy, as you write? Good Lord, we would be happy precisely if we had no books, and the kind of books that make us happy are the kind we could write ourselves if we had to. But we need the books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us. That is my belief.’ I love depressing movies. Family entertainment/sappy/happy/funny movies tend to bore me. Movies that depress me to no end (Lilja 4-Ever etc) are the ones that really get me deep, so I prefer to watch those. I'll feel like utter shit afterwards, but that feeling is genuine and deep, which is something I don't get with other kinds of movies.

Wasn't there worry about Hendricks' fitness and conditioning at the end of last year? I think Johny gassing is Thompson's best bet outside of a flash KO kick. Not liking Wonderboy's chances but does he have much to lose, really? A loss to a top contender like Hendricks won't push him down the rankings that much.

http://www.coreystapes.com/smw95.html "Instead of kissing the Confederate Flag as per the stipulation, the Gangstas brutally attack Smothers, Armstrong Cornette and even the referee. The Gangstas then spray paint the Gangstas’ X symbol on Bob Armstrong and continue beating on Smothers & Cornette until the Undertaker comes back in and clears the Gangstas out of the ring."

And, yeah, next season of Breaking Ground is going to be awesome.

To be fair, this statement is absolutely true in regard to practically any movie she's ever starred in.

Got to do a show with ventriloquist Willie Tyler tonight. Very cool.

My favorite kind of intergender wrestling is intergender apartment wrestling. Especially Russian amateur intergender apartment wrestling.

You know I was actually thinking that earlier,

If she got high and ruined a ppv main event, they'd have given her a title run.

So this showed up in my Twitter

Oh come on

Lawler really does make this show infuriating

And not a damn one would say it to his face.

Don't blame him because workers don't know when to cinch up.

Nothing says "midcard for life" like getting paired up with Miz.

Nonsense! Big E will win multiple world titles because he is your uncle and your daddy.

I look at like this: Sanders was the better pure runner. Smith was the better overall player.

Kevin Owens has a good Sharpshooter. Probably because it's taught in high school gym class in Canada.

Santana's been a Florida regular for years and had a brief TNA run in 2014 as "Brittany" but had a real breakout year last year, winning the NWA Women's Title & SHINE title and having long reigns with both plus a Japan tour so she was all over. Had some very good matches in Shine. Good to see her here and a solid short match with Asuka. Asuka continues to be the most fun performer to watch. I try to tune in to whichever episodes she's on. Balor/Crews was pretty good as well.

Abby could pull the engagement ring out of his forehead.

The answer is Godzilla. The answer is always Godzilla.

A Canadian able to get the internet on their phone? LOL. That's rich. They're all lining up outside a Radio Shack hoping to pre order Zach Morris' phone. Good luck with that..I'm on a 6 month wait list! Thank goodness for these handy AOL disks and my fast dial up speed! The only way I can post on this board is through a series of telegrams to my local member of parliament. He types them out for me.

Damn it, Cris, it's an upper-body photoshoot!

I honestly dont think they are worried about Jack & the Beanstalk or The Flash
