Watching Once Upon a Time In Hollywood on FX. They left in all the f-bombs. I guess standards, and practice are non existent anymore.

How is this the first time I’ve heard about this? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wkZa6E9rfI8

Kinda unneeded at this point. It’s not like the docu-series was some obscure Oscar nominated documentary, and so a studio capitalized on an interesting little known story.

What did he mean by that? I know he was really a California boy, but it’s not like Eastwood used a stunt guy for horses. Him, and all those western mainstays literally learned the ropes. Eastwood even owned a ranch I believe. Edit: https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/cry-macho-star-clint-eastwood-admits-being-nervous-about-riding-horses-new-movie.html/ I see… Guess Jake read this article.

What do people say about the writers? “They know how to write to Vince’s taste”. This is most likely where the Gunther character is leading to knowing Vince’s stereotypes are very dated. To be honest if I was running a “character based” wrestling company I probably wouldn’t know how to add a German based character into a western promotion without it being either A)Military obsessed, or B)Octoberfest goofball. I’d literally have to send my writing staff over to Germany to understand the current culture much better. The WWE isn’t that nuanced, even though they are all about creating characters.

Yeah, that’s not a bad choice really. Could’ve really played up the two warriors thing between the two. Another thing that doesn’t get brought up enough, is that after he won the belt they wanted Warrior to tone down the gimmick for public appearance purposes. Which killed the mystique.

Britt making sexy pouty faces during that “zoom-in shocked kick out face” section saved that bit.

I think Hogan Vs. Warrior was the key mistake in Warrior’s failure to launch. Not only did it force fans to pick a side, but it was also not that big of a draw. Hogan should’ve lost the belt to Savage prior to WM 6, then you start the Warrior run there with Savage winning it at Mania. Later you decide if you want to do “The Ultimate Challenge” at the next Mania.

That’s another thing. He basically threatened to kill Hogan’s fans at the time. You really think a four year old Hulkamaniac is going to be one of the little Warriors after the things he said? Fuck that guy.

What do you call it when a beloved hero is replaced, with a character you don’t like? “Step-father Syndrome”? I was four years old, and I had that strong feeling of “Who the fuck do you think you are? You aren’t Hulk Hogan”. It also didn’t help that Warrior acted like an unreasonable monster during that build.

I hope the camera zoom-in’s on the kick out face aren’t because someone on the roster has gotten into the ear of the new show director.

Simply put, Warrior had no chance. He was Hot Rod replacing Optimus Prime. Maybe if Hogan disappeared like Backlund did he’d have a chance. But Backlund was no Hogan when he was replaced. So there weren’t any guarantees. I do truly feel he would’ve grown into the role, and accepted as the guy, if Hogan never returned eventually. It needed a lot of time for that to happen.

Sammy must be really tight with TK if he can get a break, and head to Brazil with his bombshell.

Wow he must’ve known. I joked about it, but I do believe he’ll get a weird chocolate loving German gimmick, and then carted off to Main Event.

He must’ve saw that picture with Shawn, Hunter, and Road Dogg looking old as shit. If that’s the case, then please stop putting the staff on camera. Or better yet, put them on a strict dress code. The reason they look so bad is that they dress like they are out fishing on a boat in the Key’s.

Kaun has such a great look, but he looks super limited in the ring. He also looked extremely gassed for somebody that looks in tremendous shape.

Edit: Forgot about the Dark thread. I’ll just contribute to that thread.

I don’t don’t think he has the face structure to pull it off. I hope they give him prosthetics. That actually might make it funnier.

I’m just not enjoying this. I wish they would’ve kept Boba as a reoccurring guest character who acts as both an ally & antagonist to The Mandalorian, instead of whatever they are doing with him here. Probably going to look back at that back door pilot filled 2nd season of Mandalorian as a major misstep to these Star Wars tv shows.

He was also in the build to Fall Brawl.

I think the incest would be more appealing to the man.

Necro Butcher sounding more intelligent than most old timers is quite shocking.

I remember when that was called Paycheck.
