  1. Ummm, stalling and heel tactics are in-ring work.

  2. You know... wasn't there another badass cocky heel tag team running around in 1988 that needed a manager? The Midnight something...

  3. Sure, here on Earth, but what about on the Cotati planet? What about on Arago-7? You terran-centric-ists.

  4. Bases never get as much credit as they deserve for mind-blowing state of the art work. Because they aren't the ones doing the mind blowing state of the art moves. Nevermind the fact that you can't do that shit without someone taking it, and taking it safely for both you and themselves. Nevermind that they normally have to do the job of filling in the moments between those "MBSOTAM" in order to actually have a match. Glamour Girls vs The Jumping Bomb Angels matches are great because both teams brought their end to the table and held it up. The real shame is how little WWF women's tag division stuff there is.

  5. I, for one, am happy that we’re in a serious discussion about two women’s tag teams from 30 years ago. Round of applause for the pros and cons of this debate.

  8. Bingo. That was rough. Also, I'm not trying to pile on Joss Whedon but I was listening to a pod on The Ringer earlier and they made a great point. The Russos found ways to up the tension in a lot of these scenes so they don't just come off like "oh here's another city blowing up." The scene where it gets all quiet and the camera follows Tony outside and the aftermath was chilling as fuck.. like a horror movie. They said it made Avengers look like a B movie basically. I won't go that far but I understand it. Avengers Infinity War is an impossible movie to make and not only did the Russos make it.... it was excellent. That's why it's in my top 3.

  11. "Don't talk to the judge alone! Let Anders and Thomas do the talking for you! Right Glenn?" "The government said I owed years of taxes. Then I called Anders and Thomas!" "Thanks, Glenn, we'll see you next visitor's day. You, too, can negotiate a pretty decent plea deal. Call Anders and Thomas at 555-5555." "Don't want no jive? Call 5555!" "Cut! Great take, guys. Now switch suits and try it again!"

  16. I just watched the 4/2/83 Mid-Atlantic episode that had Piper handing out Easter Seals charity t-shirts to kids and he cut this amazing, coked up rambling promo about helping out kids "who are for no reason are all messed up and they're all crippled up because they ain't got no bucks and we gotta help 'em out because they're all crippled up and these kids are the real super heroes and they need a real hero because they're all crippled up and I'm gonna show em a hero right now and get in the ring." Then he got in the ring and beat up some jobber in 30 seconds.

  17. To paraphrase what I wrote earlier about Michael Hayes, sometimes the name is enough. The Glamour Girls looked like Patty and Thelma. Then they beat your ass like Patty and Thelma would. They weren't required to do promos. There is little to no evidence saying that they couldn't. I'd err on the side of them being able to. Ain't lookin' to catch a lit Virginia Slim to the eye.

  18. Everyone in late 80's WWF had a manager. Does that mean Savage couldn't cut a promo? Orndorff? Rude? Hennig? Kind of a weird conclusion to jump to. It was a different time.

  19. What the fuck are you talking about, buster? Look, I pass this off on you not having watched the matches for a long time, but the Glamour Girls were great. Kai was good, but Judy Martin was the best female wrestler in the company from 1980-2010. First of all, they were bases. If you go back and watch those matches with 2018 eyes, it's obvious that they were driving things, that they were grounding things, that they were putting things together. They were the ones taking all of the JBA offense and giving the matches form and meaning. If you look at, let's say, Judy Martin vs Desiree Peterson from that same period, you can see just how solid and mean her stuff came off, how credible it came off as. Did she work that "Moolah" style? Sure, but she's one of the few who really made it work. If you care (and you shouldn't), she wasn't just all hair-throwing though. She was doing top rope clothesline drapes and power bombs in 1985. Seriously, watch this and look at how she worked the heat:

  25. Marvel's running a big infinity stone storyline right now. Obviously this isn't exactly how it works in the movie, but I sort of like the general conceit behind it, which is that the stones help empower each other as a circuit, thus allowing the effects of something like the reality stone to be stronger.

  34. Browsing the past couple of pages, there doesn't seem to too much attention on Sam Robert's Wrestling Podcast (I can generally guess how the board may feel), but he and Peter Rosenberg talked GRR. The most fascinating part was Robert's breakdown of Vince's relationships with Reigns and Strowman, but in like BF/GF relationship terms. Vince is in a committed relationship with Reigns...but then there's this new person who's come along and grabbed the attention of Vince, and Vince's heart. And while he's still in this committed relationship, his eye is on someone else and he's in that "checked out" phase of relationships and Vince has really fallen in love with Strowman, but he hasn't broken up with Roman yet. Like Roman Reigns was this new Hulk Hogan for Vince to play with, but then Strowman came along and he's the new Hogan and Roman Reigns has become the Randy Savage to Strowman's Hogan. I'm butchering it, but I liked his assessment.

  35. I'm fully aware of what you said - I'm just not sure you are. You're essentially making the argument that Dolph Ziggler is better than Gorgeous George at the cocky heel gimmick because he gets more mic time. And it's as ridiculous as it sounds.

  36. Bottom line is, Leilani Kai and Judy Martin will stomp your narrow ass into the blacktop. Ya feel me? If not, take it up with them and see where it gets ya.

  38. The nineteen series in a row mark is probably the most untouchable team mark in hockey. In some ways I don't think that Islanders dynasty gets nearly the credit it deserves because the Islanders have such a crappy modern reputation.
