  1. For matt

     

    Everyone needs to watch this.  DDP"s AWA mullet is.... something.... even by the standards of ridiculous wrestling mullets.

     

    Actually, the Diamond Doll that appears in that segment with Tanaka, Diamond, and DDP may have the worst hair of the lot,

     

    And, DDP from '96 on was one of my favorites.  Guy had an amazing run, considering he was a manager in AWA and his early WCW run was pretty dull (and. god, I hate that feud with Johnny B. Badd, where Badd left in the middle and the Booty Man replaced him.  Ugh).

  2.  

    I did enjoy that "over my head" line.

     

    But that scene does not instill in me a confidence in Batista's acting ability.

     

    I didn't see that "Iron Fists" movie he was in.

     

    The "Iron Fists" role really didn't require much acting (I don't remember if he even had lines).  Batista's job was mostly to have the right look and carry through on the fight scenes the stunt choreographer laid out.  Not to say he can't act, but the movie didn't really indicate much either way.

  3. I stopped reading it when JDR left, honestly. 

     

    Yeah, I think a lot of people did. I wasn't familiar with Tom Taylor, so I ignored the book for several months, then did a lot of catchup at once. It's one of my favorite books lately, with both the art and writing clicking for me.  I'm really digging the focus on Earth-2 versions of Supes/Bats/Red Tornado/etc.  Taylor has managed to do a fresh take on both well-known Justice League characters and the JSA concept in general.  I like Alan Scott, Jay Garrick, etc., but after Johns, it's really hard to do much fresh with those characters or the group.

  4. Anyone reading Justice League Dark?  How has it been since DeMatteis took over writing chores?  I just caught up on Phantom Stranger and am digging it.  DeMatteis might be my favorite comic book writer ever, but I'm a much bigger fan of his pre-Justice League work than post.  When he tries to be funny, it generally falls flat for me.  I love the JM who wrote Defenders, Moonshadow, the Dr. Fate mini, etc. 

     

    Also, does anyone else like Earth-2 more since Robinson left.  A lot of people seem to think Earth-2 was a return to form for JDR, but I was kinda underwhelmed.  It's been a really fun book of late (I do really like Robinson's FF book, fwiw).

  5. Eddy/Chavo? I don't see the body of work.

     

    Same here.  They were a decent team handicapped by Chavo being one half of the team.  Voted for Malenko/Benoit, even though I don't think they go fair either.

     

    Edit: I was wondering why you ran with Malenko/Benoit instead of Dean/Joe.  Holy crap!  How did i not realize Joe is still alive?  I thought he was deceased.

  6. Hell yeah! At the moment I don't care that it's about the original team and that Andy Lanning isn't on board, at the moment I'm just happy Dan Abnett is writing a new GotG ongoing.

    Best comic book news in a long time.

     

    Yeah. great news.  I like the Abnett/Lanning book quite a bit, but I probably prefer the original team from a character standpoint,  Hopefully, Lanning doesn't turn out to be the talented half of the team.

     

    Book needs Nikki though.  No Nikki, no buys.  Or maybe not.

     

    Anything ever said about why Abnett & Lanning dissolved the partnership?

  7. TNA should set up a 4 sided ring and a 6 sided ring for every show.  Have the fans vote before each match to determine what ring the match will take place in.  Sure lugging around 2 rings is a pain, and the idea is pretty stupid....BUT 2 rings will take up more space, hence less empty seats.  Genius, innovative....TNA.

     

    Great idea, and it will get massive heat when the four sided ring turns heel on the six sided ring.

     

    It's a shame Hogan left the company.  Six sided ring will never be able to get his win back from the loser leaves match it lost when Hogan came in.

    Layla's bump was amazing. She flew like a fucking Valkyrie into that shit filled pool.

     

     

    Linked for size..

     

    Layla turns 37 this week and she's still like one of the best looking divas ever. I also think she's one of the best performers the divas have ever had. I felt like they could've made a much bigger deal what she is. Sigh.

     

     

    Best part of that pic is the "what the hell is she doing?" look on Steph and Vickie's faces.

  9.  

    Which will we see first: GFW's first show, or that Wrestling Retribution thingy?

    Even if they never run a show, GFW's at least fulfilled merchandise orders.

     

    Allegedly filled.  Do you know anyone who has actually ordered and gotten their stuff>

     

    I ordered a hat.  All I keep getting are postcards showing Jeff walking across various continents and talking about his rambles,  Weirdly, they're were all postmakred Memphis - even the ones mailed while he was in Europe.

     

    Also, I'm much more bitter about Mage III than anything Kevin Smith has ever done/not done.

    Jesus holy hell OW!

     

     

    I thought he fell off the ladder, then I realized the botch was the table not breaking.  I think the planned spot had Kasi (I think that's Kasai) headbutting his way through the table and then headbutting the belt Kanemura is helpfully holding across his body. 

     

    Yeah....That's kinda a dumb idea. 

  11.  

    There were a few other framistans that always made me laugh. I remember when "jump the shark" was replaced with "sex with grandma" for a while. I also have no recollection what it was replacing, but there was a period where a ton of posts had "BOP SHE BOP SHE BOP" in them.

    I think that one was for " pure sports build "

     

     

    It was. 

     

    What was "humped your mom" a framistan for?  I remember that one popping up a lot for awhile.
