I've included Sara Del Rey once. If we expand the scope then that means I've gotta look at the Joshi wrestlers too. And some of them are legit better than a lot of the US guys.

TBH Mark Henry Productions should have its own thread. It's already played out, giving it its own thread would just kill it dead. It was fun though. Now the "Who's The Racist Witch Hunt" that seems to be going around the board lately could probably be stowed away.

Look at it this way. If I include a solid, under-watched indy guy, and he gets trounced by Jack Swagger - no one cares, even the guy who probably likes the under-watched indy guy. BUT if I replace the under-watched indy guy with Rush...or Yuji Nagata, or Negro Casas, or KENTA, then the conversation might get a little more interesting. I think that if I expand it to Japan or Japan/Mexico, I'm going to pepper them in, nothing overwhelming like 32 puro and lucha guys. More like 12. My stupid hopes for March Madness is that it makes fans branch out. People complain sooooo much about the WWE, and yet it is the most watched program on this board. So why not include other shit that you could be watching instead?

I think I probably wouldn't be able to limit WWE to just 16, that was just a suggestion.

Just like he did every year before.

March is a ways away, but I gotta get ready to list 64 rasslers for the tourney. I think this year I promised to put Bryan and Punk in the same section so we could get that out of the way. But I was also thinking about shaking up things a little bit. In the past March Madness has been 64 of American/Canadian Wrestlers(sometimes a Japanese DGUSA guy would make it on). I would try to mix in a couple of small indy guys in hopes that more guys would get looked at and we could expand our horizons a little bit. Those threads were usually met with apathy or "WHO DIS?" Really the people who get the most looks are the ones that wrestle for WWE or TNA, which is kinda disappointing. Which is why in the past I haven't been including Puro or Lucha guys, because their viewership is much lower than the WWE here on this board. Especially with Lucha. So now with the new board I'm posing the question once again to the voters, how would they like the tournament to be run this year. Most importantly, do we want to move to a field of 64 of GLOBAL competitors or do we want to keep it American only? The benefits of going Global is that it gets us closer to crowning a true BEST IN THE WORLD. The downside is that it means we won't be looking at smaller fry guys in the USA(well maybe a couple to keep street cred), which nobody was doing anyway, so it won't really matter. If we do, do we create a bracket of Japanese, a bracket of US, a bracket of Lucha, and a Bracket of miscelaneous, and have them meet in the middle? Or do I keep it all mixed up? I need to know these things because if we decide to expand who gets in, then I have to do some research over the next couple of months to figure out who gets in. So answer the poll question, AND make other suggestions if you want.

If you're going to put a man on for three matches, they better all be fucking master class wrestling matches. That's how I look at it.

For sure. That's a travesty. He's had better stuff than Brock Lesnar this year. What the fuck has Jeff Hardy done? No really, I want to watch whatever it is, so I can get a valid opinion. Same with Kurt Angle. Has Kurt actually been having a Top 20 Wrestler in THE WORLD(errrr...outside of Mexico and Cenation) type of year? And then there's Antonio Cesaro who has been crushing it on every program and PPV. He doesn't even really get to talk, he just wins the crowd over with wrestling. He's like the new Matt Hardy.

I don't really care for anything Cena does, so I don't know if I'd actually put him in my Top 50. If he weren't in matches with guys I like (Ziggler/Bryan/Del Rio) I'd probably never watch him. Sometimes he comes through. The ladder match with Ziggler, the Bryan title change, for example. Sometimes I can see him walking guys through fucking everything, which takes me out of the match. I also think that depending on the match he becomes a really shitty actor trying to interject some melodrama, and it comes off really phony. You know how people complain about the "Pointing at the Wrestlemania Sign" or people talking about "Their Wrestlemania Moment", John Cena is that personified as a wrestler. SOMETIMES, usually when the build has been exemplary like it was against AmDrag, he earns those moments of melodrama. But most of the time it's just wishful thinking on his part.

Only Stephen Chow can make me get over terrible CGI. Also that Adam Sandler movie looks better than probably all of his last five-ten movies combined. Doesn't mean much, I know.

Boy. That escalated quickly.

Statham would just crumple to the ground and start crying. "Who am I fooling? I'm not a hard man. Please end my sham of a life as quickly as possible.." But Mark doesn't even notice him and inadvertently steps on him, killing him instantly.

So would anyone object to Mark Henry replacing Paul Walker in Fast and Furious 7? Rock: Did anyone notify his next of kin? Vin Diesel: Yeah, his cousin. cut to Mark Henry throwing cars at bad guys.

You can do that? That's fucking great.

No.

More gifs of Davey plz.

Okay, that was fucking rad. She should be in all the things now.

I thought Rippa's account was hacked by a Big Tobacco spam bot. #Truth

Final caught up on Revival. They went back to the sister murder case for a minute, which I originally thought was supposed to be the main mystery, but no I realize it's just another thread to drag out, which is fine. I kind of want things to get really out of hand, which it seems like this possible insurrection, might heat shit up. I really dig Norton's art, and I really don't want Winter to end, because this book won't look the same in the spring time. Umbral has a fun start. I don't know if I'm sticking with it, but the art is rad and scratchy, and the first issue had some wacky shit. I felt a little lost, which may have just been me being stupid, but there were moments where I didn't know where I was or how I got there.

John Cena can act just as phony. Sometimes he sells like he's imagining what it would look like on the RAW video package.

Daaaamn. People in Hollywood should be dreaming of having the careers and lives of these two. 96. 81. And a lot of great performances. It's sad, but man were we lucky to have these two.

So both Dallas and Philly lose...Green Bay and Chicago win...the prophesy is still on track.

Clearly Trestman feels that we won't need these timeouts later.

That's the best post you've ever made.

Here we go.
