Is it blasphemy if I say that Arn’s DDT was better than Jake’s?
Arn's looked more impactful, but Jake's was just so much smoother and quicker and deadly looking and fit his persona to a tee

I love how cynicism passes for insight these days

It is a mind screw that will stay with you for sure. I can imagine it would also make me very sad if I watched it now.
There was a definite pervading atmosphere of melancholy. The death scene with his 'daughter' at her bedside was brutal but the bit that upset me the most was Dianne Wiest's monologue toward the end.
Weird thing is, my theory of the film isn't what anyone else seems to think happened

Y'all are looking at it backwards. JBL is a shoe-in for the WWE Hall of Fame for all the reasons he is a Hall of Fame candidate for Lifetime Asshole. He's a Fox News talking head who sexually assaulted people in the locker room and beat up a guy for no reason while drunk on the job. Going by those reasons why shouldn't he be in?
Love this. Let’s conveniently ignore his community work in Bermuda, the youth rugby team he set up there, piloting a programme to provide meals to impoverished kids in Malawi and setting up a sports facility there too for stuff that possibly happened decades ago instead

I'm assuming WCW just used a shit ton of generic music library stuff
Any of my UK brethren over a certain age probably remember Television X and the 10 minute preview... so hearing the Hardy Boyz music used for a porno advert one time definitely messed with my head

The weirdest part is that Meltzer mentions this in the Observer from January 92 as Bret being ready to not only sign but bring the IC title with him
That's all I know of it TBH. I vaguely remember Bret talking about it at one point, it was definitely 92. I've no doubt it was never going to happen and was just leverage talk though

I just watched Synechdoche, New York for the first time and it has haunted me. Can't stop thinking about it.

Finished Episode 1 of Kentucky Route Zero... It was very Lynchian and over before I knew it.
Waiting a while before going on to Episode 2... or maybe I'll go back and play Ep 1 again as I played it purely linear and did no exploring

I've never really understood which Trek happened when... I always assumed Voyager happened way after TNG but obviously not!

You lot are nuts some time, of course JBL is deserving to be in the WWE HoF!
- company man
- one of the most over tag teams in the Attitude era
- great promo
- longest title reign in Smackdown history
- one of the big main eventers/characters of the Ruthless Aggression era (which WWE has suddenly started placing importance on)
- friends in high places
- philanthropist

Not get all fantasy-booking but I'd love Shane Douglas to show up in NWA as someone's mouthpiece. He could cut a promo on how he tried to destroy the NWA when he trashed the belt but it just won't die, but THIS GUY is gonna get the job done. Fuck, you could build a whole stable around that idea

Whoever goes to WrestleCon this year needs to ask Sid about this and tape it.
You expect him to show up?

Brock currently has the best of both worlds. He left before his prime, and came back without his body already being broken down, and now he’s the top guy again
Also, he beat McMahon in court which is the only real way to earn his respect

Here's a hot take: Takada blows.
Bad wrestler and worse fighter. I can get why he was the poster child of the worked shoot style (see Dean’s reply) but my god he was embarrassing in hindsight

Nevermind GIGGING while he is going up into the air off a slingshot. I'm still trying to figure where he got the blade from (his handwrap?).
The miracle blade job. Still never figured it out.
Tangentially, I rewatched that Race v Funk match on the NWA YouTube channel t’other night and I’ve no had how or where Funk bladed to lead into the stoppage. I kinda want to say Race hardway’d him like the pro he was

Flair blading in that Fujinami match is still the most pointless bladejob I've ever seen, and that's saying something. Cheap and desperate tactic to try and inject some drama into a match no one cared for

Was it Spain or Italy where Warrior came out of retirement to face Orlando Jordan?
EDIT: what a fucking bizarre sentence that is...

Brian Pillman’s contract and that whole thing happened so they had to have their rematch at Superbrawl in spite of everything
Are we talking about the Yellow Dog storyline here or something behind the scenes?

I was thinking about this recently, what's the natural end or evolution of the current 'video game' style of wrestling? It can't possibly get any faster, the moves can't get any more impactful or athletic, the new generation of wrestlers have reached peak gymnast, so what's next? A reverse big bang where everyone becomes Johnny Valentine by 2040?

Wasn't Windham advertised for the match until the day of the show when he was take out by the Enforcers slamming his hand in Dustin's car door?
I'd like to hear an answer to this. I don't remember Windham ever becoming 'a face' per se until this point. I suppose he kind of turned by proxy when Harley Race came out and aligned himself with Luger at GAB 91

Too late/early for #terrytuesday but I suppose it could be #funkfriday instead

In a rough about-turn, and against my better judgement, I'm going to give S3 a go as it looks like it might actually emphasize plot over cerebral fuckery this time
