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...

"Like Eugene?"

I'm not a child so I've never seen Shrek.

This Cena interview is amazing guys.

didn't she get her knees up?

I want Billy vs. D'arcy in a cage match. Billy talking about watching the NWA title being defended at 4 am in Malaysia made me think of this episode of Seinfeld where they're at a cockfight at 4 am.

Didn't know where to put this, but thought it was pretty cool http://www.digitalspy.com/movies/feature/a825774/marvel-cinematic-universe-in-chronological-order/

I posted about that the night of The Embrace in how weirdly symmetrical it all is. Jay was the one to carry Ibushi to the back on that fateful night and there he is beating Omega to light the spark of the two reconnecting. This is such a ridiculously amazing angle that has LAYERZ. Beautiful layers and because there is a sense of ownership and even reality, you get this attention to detail and care that is normally absent in such angles. It's the best. It's cool that he specifically mentions that and remembers it. He's already starting to make some adjustments in his in-ring persona to match his new character, now I think there are just a few aesthetic tweaks to make and he's more or less good to go. His hair has a bit of the Bret Hart/Curt Hennig syndrome where it puffs up quite a bit as it dries out later on in matches and it's not a good look. He needs to get hold of whatever stay-in conditioner or whatever it is that Roman soaks his hair with, as that mother fucker's locks are dripping nonstop.

LU is finally taping again?

I think I am tainted with them because my first Deep Purple album as a teenager (and, in a sense, my introduction to the concept of live long-take prog rock as a concept) was Made In Japan and it probably set an unreasonable bar. Those Constantines tracks are good. I really like that Hotline Operator one the best.

"No I'm not Green Lantern Fan, you lunkhead security guard. He wears a Green Lantern shirt and this is clearly a Black Lantern Corps shirt. I want you to go get your supervisor, and I will be timing you!"

But to be a dick he read it in Bulgarian.

Man I wish the Czechs had beaten Not Russia. Czechs/Germany would have been a good "nothing to lose" final, and Canada/Russia playing where one of them goes home with NOTHING would have breathed some life into a bronze game for once.

I feel like wearing a Golden Lovers shirt would have people think you're into being pissed on and don't mind making your fetishes public knowledge.

Black Panther versus Namor, please. You can do that whole thing where someone starts as a "villain" but ends up as a hero by the end of the movie, setting up their own line of movies eventually.

Killmonger's last line was heavy shit for an MCU film. Shit straight up shattered T'challa.

Minor geek out moment - my question (about people who they thought they would click with, but found a struggle) got answered. Huge smile on my face as I was driving home.

This is what happens when you allow a director to do his thing. Black Panther was A+ level film making. A film that had A LOT to say.. this touched on everything from colonists to isolationism, it was beautifully done, the world building was perfect. No dumb corny joke making. Killmonger is MCU's best villain by a wide margin. I think this might top Winter Soldier for Marvel's best film. The cast was flawless. Only bad shit was some of the CGI at the end. They could have tidied that up.
