  1. Sometimes I feel like it's very obvious who came here and felt at home after reading the DVDVR Crew's writings, and who's here for just another lame-ass wrestling forum.
  2. Pac moves like a cyborg who somehow learned how to be spiteful towards human life. I love it.
  3. AEW hasn't been around for long enough for me to forget, and then be surprised by reading about and reminding myself, that DDP wrestled a match there. Additionally, it's probably his defacto retirement match. Wild. Edit: wrong thread but the damage is done.
  4. I'm definitely going to have to disagree with this take but I love that we both have a version we can like the most. There was just something about the art style of the comics, the dream sequences and all of the time we got to be alone with Eric that just wasn't present in the film. It was pretentious and over the top and moody as all hell exactly perfect for a brooding teenager like I was when I finally got around to reading it.
  5. The previous movie is very violent and the comics were almost over the top. It's a story of two people brutally murdered by sleazebags, with one victim coming back as an avenging spirit who leaves blown-off heads galore in his wake.
  6. Honestly that doesn't look terrible but it could totally be it's own thing - making it a remake (or whatever) of Eric & Shelly's story is the baffling part.
  7. Oh yeah and give Julia a bonus for making Moné's finisher look crisp, I feel like that's potentially the most awkward moment of a debut and they stuck the landing so well.
  8. Once again I was stoked from the beginning minutes all the way up until the Jericho match The only thing I can coherently communicate right now is that there were three men I didn't ever really care for in a match along with three men I find absolutely captivating and it made the whole greater than the sum of its parts. Okada's mannerisms are fantastic, like how he casually waved the ref over after hitting his finisher. He knew it was over - what a cocky motherfucker that you just want to see get his face punched in.
  9. Throw the hammer & anvil elbows in there too - sometimes it's rad but it suffers from the same issues as the stomps.
  10. Good goddamn do I wanna live in a world where wrestlers have names like that again...
  11. I've had the same exact thought. Killing off your customer base at a rapid clip seems like exact wrong idea, on top of the whole brutally immoral aspect.
  12. Masuimi Max was the accidental OD, fentanyl mixed in with cocaine. She was less "porn star" and more "fetish model," but obviously a similar category.
  13. We never watch this thing but the bit with Arnold, DeVito, and Keaton was worth it all.
  14. Either the joke went over my head or I have no idea what you mean Unless the joke is regarding the word "perfect," in which case well done!
  15. A lot of dudes who are meant to be Mr. Perfect think they should actually be Shawn Michaels. I get it, we all are our best advocates and want what we think we deserve, but there's no shame in occupying a lower position and excelling at it.
  16. Collision was chugging along so well until Jericho came out, but aside from that and some Wrestlecrap fodder in the main event (specifically the bit with Sonjay), but all in all it feels like we're on a roll
  17. Still got all that hair - good for him! I've never doubted the man for a minute, not with those punches.
  18. I wasn't trying to come in hot, we're all good. It's just an odd trend on here lately with some people who seem to suggest that AEW are the ones doing a bad job when it's actually the poster who wasn't paying attention. We all view the world through our own lenses, but we shouldn't think that our perception is a blanket fact for the rest of the world.
  19. So you're equating your own personal unfamiliarity with somebody, to a whole company not advertising them correctly? I can assure you, anybody who's been aware of the former Sasha Banks - which is a very large portion of the US wrestling viewing population - can see the extremely obvious branding for what it is.
  20. They didn't hint at Punk nearly as blatantly as they're doing for Moné and that was a smashing success. I just took a look at tickets available for Bos(s)ton and they're very, very limited and quite expensive. I really like the approach of, "we're not gonna say but... well, you know" and it's clearly working well for them. We're leagues past The Butcher & The Blade. Could Okada's debut been hyped more? Sure. Would the kind of people who'd pay money to see Okada NOT be internet dweebs like us? I highly doubt that.
  21. With no knowledge of what either scenario would generate in dollar-bucks, I wonder if the reason they continue with the surprises is to have their monetized YouTube vid of the debut get a bajillion views. I know I've watched AJ showing up at his first Rumble an absurd amount of times...
  22. I'm not usually one to harp on videogame-style matches but like... if you're not gonna suddenly put Fletcher in the main event scene, why the hell is he kicking out of SO much of Ospreay's most dangerous looking shit?! It's one thing with Takeshita because he's got an aura of "could be THE guy" to him, but Kyle, bless his heart, isn't in that category even by the standards of most AEW smart-mark fans. Mutual respect aside, it was a very odd choice, and if HE can endure that much, somebody higher up the ladder should theoretically have a much easier time beating Will.
  23. The whole opening segment told a really solid story, specifically with Swerve showing Joe to his face that maybe he IS better than the champ. Way good. Stat just ragdolling Riho was killer, and Riho looked like she put a little more snap on her offense. I'll take a best of 5 plz. Lots of other stuff. Really all around solid show. Rampage doesn't look thrilling but Collision has some good stuff. Oh yeah fuggin OSPREAY v DANIELSON
  24. Oh fucking hell, here we are talking about Jack and thinking maybe he can get over the suckiness of the heel turn, buuuuuut (NJPW spoilers)...
