"His running knee strike has taken out more men than polio."TOO SOON

Yeah the receipt in the Raw match with Seth destroying his nose, which begs the question, is Cena that careful of a worker to not apply the hold correctly in fear of popping off someones head? I don't get it, hell even Austin has pleaded with him to tighten that shit up and he didn't. The most common answer I've seen about Cena's STF is that they're concerned about children using it while playing, so the looser it looks the less likely they would be to cinch it in and hurt each other.

My grandfather used to talk about being drinking buddies with Robert Lowry when he travelled to LA for work, but he'd always reference him as the hero of one of the Karloff Mummy movies. He told me that story for years before I found out Lowry was Batman in one of the serials and I lost my shit.

Netflix just added the early 2000s WB Batman series, so I'll finally get around to the last couple of seasons. I'm not crazy about some of the character designs and retooled origins, but it's a solid Batman show. I think it would be better regarded if it hadn't so closely followed the BTAS run. And they actually use Bane to do a takeoff of Knightfall, which was neat since BTAS sort of just jobbed him out from the start.

I could've sworn they had already done a second one and the new one was called Now You Three Me. I guess it's just inevitable.

McClaine was only really portrayed as a washed up alcoholic in With a Vengeance. Was that just something that was already in the original spec script before it became a Die Hard movie? That's the only one where he's drastically different by the end of the film.

I read Chris Gore's 50 Greatest Movies Never Made over and over when I was a kid. The book's almost 20 years old now, so it's interesting to see some of the movies that have gotten made in some manner since it was published.

Taker looks like hell, but he's still physically capable of holding up his end (and Shane's.) I'm sure he doesn't want to get embarrassed in his home state, especially when every Mania might be his last. I really hope the Shane match is every bit of the beautifully absurd schmohz that Sting/HHH was last year.

I saw those cereal boxes in a store and it reminded me how much I wish I hadn't lost the Batman 89 piggy bank that came in the bat-cereal.

Why don't they just donate the money they're going to throw away on these sword and sandals movies? Unless the tax write off is better...

Didn't Tyson's injury have to do with the way he took the bump because he was trying to help Joe get the Muscle Buster over with a new crowd?

It's a perfectly fine mob movie. Besides the obvious issues, it didn't help that it was released the same year as Goodfellas.

After last night's OJ episode, I want to know why Joseph Siravo (Johnny Boy from The Sopranos) isn't working on more high profile projects. His monologue as Fred Goldman was heartbreaking. The acting on this show is all over the map from kitschy to career highlights.

Vince gives the induction speech and makes Heyman stand on stage and watch. #vkm #conqueror

JJ Gittes, perhaps for the Two Jakes even more than Chinatown.

Are those really Shane's sons names? It sounded like he was work-shopping character names for a Highlander reboot.

James Woods in The Specialist.

I watched Barry Lyndon for the first time, and it's now my favorite Kubrick film. It's completely gorgeous and hypnotic. I seriously would get some of those establishing shots framed for my home. It's been criticized at times for being cold and removed from its characters and story, but I was so overwhelmed by what a technical masterpiece it was I may need to see it again to confirm if that's valid for me. It also displays Kubrick's uncanny ability to choose perfect pieces of music for every single scene.

The first thing that comes to mind whenever The Godfather comes up is his "match" with Road Dogg on the Owen tribute Raw. It was very touching and respectful to me as an 11-year-old, but seems...decidedly less so in retrospect.

I think this was the first song I downloaded from Napster.

Anchorman and The 40-Year-Old Virgin are probably the two most influential comedies of the 21st century. Every big studio comedy for the next eight years bit off of one or the other.

I think he'll serve a similar function as HBK. He'll show up on TV occasionally or stop by the performance center for a pep talk, but he's not going to be invested in creative or development. It'll just be doing favors from time to time.

I saw that Jim Carrey is currently shooting a Polish police procedural drama called True Crimes, and I went on to read the New Yorker article it's based on. It's a fascinating case. Edit: Link won't work, but Google New Yorker True Crime for the article.

Vince is going to finally prove the brand is bigger than any star by packing Jerry World with a Sheamus/Randy Orton title main event. The magnificent bastard.

HHH grooms Owens to be the face of the company for a couple months, then says just kidding you're fat, and they redo Bryan/Hunter at Mania.
