    The worst thing is all the idiots who upload their Smackdown vs Raw versions of this week's matches (but still use a picture of the real match as the video ID). ARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH,

     

    This is the fucking worst.

     

    Yes it is.  100x fucking worse than recording with your phone.  Slightly more annoying than matches with action figures.

    Someone on the outside of a match (ref, valet, manager, announcer) is bound to try and make the match about themselves. Wrestling is 100% ego-driven. Hopefully you can train these people the right way (or the hard way), to remember their place...

     

    Interesting. So for the most part, the outside folks you've worked with try to get themselves over and not the match?

     

    That DOES happen alot, but it really depends on where you're working.  I've never really dealt with someone's ego getting in the way, but I've dealt with tons of inexperience, be it managers or refs.  That will frustrate you just as bad, because they miss basic stuff that you would think they learned in training.  Of course we've all dealt with bonehead refs with tons of experience too.

  3. I'm a big fan of little known 80s and early 90s action.  I think Stone Cold with the Boz is awesome!  Andy Sidaris films are always fun and Hard Ticket to Hawaii is the best of them.  Indonesia has put out the most insane action films of the 80s and I think are candidates of the best action films as it speeds through the plot and just gives one death-defying (quite literally) stunt after another.  Stabilizer and Lady Terminator are great ways to start.

     

    The Andy Sidaris films helped me become a man.  I will go to my grave having a crush on Julie Strain.  Speaking of cheesy 80's action movies, I feel the need to defend 1980's blockbuster "Collision Course" starring Jay Leno and Pat Morita.

     

    How about Blue Chips?  No one EVER talks about that movie, but I watched it recently, and it still holds up for me.  That side of college sports will always be relevant.

    On paper, this looks like the worst Survivor Series card of all-time. Big Show Vs. Randy Orton? John Cena Vs. Alberto Del Rio AGAIN. Punk/Bryan Vs. Rowan/Harper? ...UGH. Langston Vs. Axel rematch? Jesus... 7 on 7 Divas match!?!? Are you kidding me???

     

    Cody Rhodes & Goldust, The Usos & Rey Mysterio vs. The Shield & The Real Americans is the only match with potential...and we've already seen The Rhodes Brothers & The Shield about six-hundred times.

     

    Who the Hell would pay for this card?

    Yeah that's way worse than four Doinks vs fucking Bastion Booger, Mr Hyperbole

     

    The rest of 93 was pretty damn good, though.  Both on paper, and likely in execution.  The Doinks match, and the never ending Harts vs Knights match were the only duds.

  5. Heh, I thought Salli Richardson was smoking in The Great White Hype.  Speaking of which, that's one that gets no love, but it's one of my favorites.  I'll also throw in Cadence, Die Hard With a Vengeance and District 9(I'm offended by the number of people who shit on this film) into my list.

     

    Starship Troopers was pre-Wild Things, yeah?  Denise Richards was hardly a star yet.

  6. Speaking of Big Bang Theory, I loved the Thanksgiving episode.  Great, silly fun.  Again, Penny treats Leonard like shit, but oh well.  Is it just me, or is Raj by far the MVP of this season?  His character has been hilarious, especially the "Treasure Hunt" episode.

     

    Btw, I kinda like Kripke in a very juvenile sort of way.

  7. I think the case with Kaval, is that he asked them point blank if he was going to go any higher than the spot he was in, and they told him no.  Even if that wasn't the case, it had to be disheartening.  I know in a day to day job, if the bossman tells me that I'll never have a chance to advance, I'm looking for another job.

  8. Yeah, the show has a distinctly Nolan-esque feel to it. Which is good since it fits in with the movie universe - even though the Batman films and Superman ones are separate.

     

    Anyway, count me among the people who like the Skinny Flash. I get the point about sprinters having muscles but isn't one of his things that he burns an insane amount of calories/energy running? It was definitely part of the other TV Flash show. Besides, the power of his punches has nothing to do with muscles/strength. If you played the InJustice video game, you'd know his punching power is derived from being able to hit you with 5 shots in the space a normal man throws one then running across the country and delivering a super-uppercut.

    Something like this?  Btw, I fucking love this scene.
