Now I'm incredibily sad that Hogan and Mutoh never made a buddy cop action flick in the 80's.

Watching it again, the best part is how Kurt shuffled around in the background like Stan Laurel or like a guilty little kid while HHH was trying to calm things down. He's literally acting like a slow-witted child while starting an arson orgy between three millionaires.

I like how he cropped Baron Corbin from the picture

EA would drink chocolate milk to show how diverse they are

A neckbeard is the unshaven and sloppy looking guy with the nachos who tries to get a ridiculous and unfunny chant started every three seconds and then leans in to make sure you know that Kurt isn't REALLY Jason Jordan's dad.

The Black Panther movie had a lot of the MLK / Malcom X back and forth that the X-Men comics did in the '60's had when it was a more blatant fable about racism. I don't think that Killmonger's dying words shattered T'Challa as much as they inspired him to right the wrong of Wakandan isolationism his way rather than follow Killmonger's path of conquest or T'Chaka's path of selective ignorance.. Oh, and "Hi, Auntie!" = Best Line Of The Movie.

Asuka's hardcore. She'll take 'em both.

Seriously though, Kurt Angle, out of nowhere is like the cheekiest, slickest bastard in the WWE. That was some Columbo level "accidentally fucking up and annoying some rich assholes." I assume this is his way to get back at Steph. for humiliating him over and over and, while it makes literally no sense since the power they have over him to fire him is still 100% in effect, but still....that was so great.

Top 5 best things tonight: 1) Kurt Angle: sly motherfucker 2) Ronda's mean face 3) Hunter's smug face 4) Braun picking people up 5) Elias mugging

Cena sounds like a man contemplating suicide right now.

Cena's giving a pretty great broken man promo on the post show right now.

Collision Course 2.

I don't think I've ever done a 180 on someone as fast with pure character work than I have with Cody. Dude's been on fire.

Hogan came in as a full timer, so Punk would have been ok with it.

For the discerning gentleman who wants to look like a creepy no sock weirdo without the shoe stench of a creepy no sock weirdo

It does feel a bit like New Japan is leaving money on the table in California, and (broadly) may not quite have anticipated how big of a deal the Golden Lovers/Elite/Bullet Club angle would be. But I do want to be careful with that latter point. Even if they're only indulging what the primary actors want to do and being totally hands off otherwise, that takes a great deal of trust. Regardless, it's all happening, which I didn't really ever expect, so... yeah. A cool thing to file away in the "Jay White is gonna make me wonder why I ever doubted him really soon" tab: Unprompted, during his backstage interview, he mentioned that Ibushi should be wary of Omega, lest he get his heart broken again. Specifically, he should remember the distraction against AJ. Of course this furthers his character's apparent thrill at creating division, which is good. But it's especially cool because, as White mentions, he was ringside for the match as a Young Lion. But he wasn't just standing there, he and his buzzut mohawk basically carried Kota to the back after Kenny (albeit reluctantly) betrayed him. Continuity!

Might want to rewrite that last sentence, dude.

Needs an obligatory exit interview: "In your time with the organization, is there anything that hindered you, or you think should be improved moving forward?" "Well, I, individually, thought I was performing to the best of my ability, but I felt management lent a deaf ear to how my productivity and success ultimately suffered from a co-worker repeatedly blasting me a crutch..." "Sure, we hear that a lot."

Seriously, how is Rusev not a bigger deal? Sometimes I swear WWE hates making money.

Aw.

Nah, he don't want none.

My friend, let me tell you about the gay community...

Marty Scurll will be the most over person with the Mania crowd. Woop Woop.

I know I'm the only one but if I wasn't already sick of Braun, that match definitely made it that way. What a boring ass Chamber match to see every single guy eliminated the exact same way. Absolute buzzkill and the same kind of shit that killed Survivor Series to me last year. Gotta be up there with one of the most predictable matches they've done and it went the lamest possible way to get there with absolutely nothing interesting along the way, no setting anything else up, nothing for any of the other guys in the match. On the flip side, the womens chamber had some real good moments. Alexa's Twisted Bliss off the pod was absolutely awesome, even if it wasn't sold - still a super cool visual and risk that looked great in execution as well. Thought the early portion was pretty good but the middle fell apart some and was real disappointed when Sonya went out, but overall a pretty good first womens chamber, the pre-match feud video deal was a pretty cool one as well. Alexa's post match promo was excellent, loved that the most of anything on the show. the Rousey segment was overall full of awkwardness but was entertaining to watch unfold. Kurt was hilarious, guessing he'll be Ronda's partner at WM so that'll be fun. Always dig Asuka vs. Nia but this one felt the least of their three bigger matches and the ending was rather abrupt, not a bad match but shorter than expected.

If they give her a bell, she can be the new Festus.

Sasha may be an even worse strategist. She knocks Bayley off the pod and then doesn't even bother pinning her, going after Alexa instead. WWE faces in general seem to be really dumb.

Baron probably requested it to hide that outfit.

That seems like a pretty big return for the older, poor man's Phil Kessel. Good for the Rangers I guess.

BATISTA FASHION WATCH UPDATE~!

Maybe they'll actually book a local guy to work Harry now, instead of spending all that money to put two out-of-town names against each other like fucking money marks.

I'd rather watch a show with Peter Facinelli, Tiffani Amber Thiessen, and Bill Bellamy called Fastlane.

There's something extremely visually unpleasant about seeing the two bended W's on the side of something that's supposed to be a square. Also, the E not being the same size as the W's...

Black Bolt has been one of marvel’s best comics this last year.

If you are into big bombastic 70's shit that we should be thankful a listenable bootleg has survived of, whoa boy have I got a treat for you.

Magnum would've been a great heel.

You guys make it too easy for me.

There needs to be a you are not the smartest person in the room scene in IW where Shuri burns Tony Stark's ego to the ground.

Shuri and Peter.

The x23 book is easily the best x book maybe since Gillen.

One thing I noticed - and this is connected to my love of Cinema Sins - is the action cinematography. The casino scene, into the car chase, then later the fight for the throne seemed to be shot with very few cuts, unlike some of the action scenes in other Marvel flicks.

That is high praise. I just watched some thorough review of it and I gotta say it looks rad. Will probably give it a shot once I get through my Metal Gear series replay. Not a fan of the upside down castle stuff though. But I do love how OP the protagonist is and the magic scrolls is a fine way of stopping you from more or less breaking the game right away. Tangent!: The Netflix Castlevania series was really good. It was like a blend of the series' style/history and Berserk and that'll always win me over.

The Stop Making Sense versions of Life During Wartime and Slippery People will always be definitive to me.
