    any word on why it's a 5 rounder?

    my buddy is a HUGE Godzilla fan. we've been going back and forth for 20 years about Kaiju battles. King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962) always gets his goat. he's been extremely isolated due to COVID. he just got his vaccination and i decided to celebrate by renting out a theater for a private screening of Godzilla vs Kong. we're going tomorrow night and i am PSYCHED!

    1. Thunder Rosa. my current favorite wrestler, full stop. can't make a full list because i don't watch enough variety of worldwide wrestling.

    complete fuckup that he is, i love Jon Jones. the Jones/Ngannou fight is gonna be MASSIVE.
  5. twiztor
    AND NEW! those heavy hands of Ngannou are fucking scary.

    Woodley came to fight! Luque was more than up for the challenge. big excitement in that one!

    first walk off KO didn't work out? no problem, just do it again later. RIP Almeida's UFC career. 4 straight losses, his last win came in 2016.

    came here to post that exact thing!

    well that turned into quite the beatdown. Excellent work, Power Bar! gotta love when the first fight is a bloody mess and the canvas shows that the rest of the night.

    seriously. the first Marvel hero. gets his name ripped off for a cocky upstart. disappears for decades at a time. brought back once every few years for a short-lived "Invaders" book then disappears again. He's bounced around relegated to rarely-seen background character. He ran Namor's organization way back when. He's been the Vision, but not really. At one point he was an agent of SHIELD. not that it really ever got mentioned again. How is he not AT LEAST in the big crossover events? He doesn't even have to play a major role. I think Marvel should be doing a hell of a better job with their WW2 heroes in general, but the man who killed Hitler especially. back-up pick: Ben Reilly. no further explanation needed. good call on the Blazing Skull, though. I would love to see more from him. His storyline in whichever Invaders reboot was the highlight of that run.

    you mean you don't have muscles in those places? Maybe they're supposed to be gills? ? OMG Namor's right calf is gigantic! it looks like Scott Steiner's bicep!

    nuke it all. If cutting out all racist/sexist/etc segments makes MNW-era Raws last 15 minutes, what's the point of keeping any of it? if it results in PPVs that run 1hr and half of that has the audio cut, why bother? what brings the views is current stuff (even if i'll never understand why...) and Specials/documentaries. Both of those can continue. yes, i'll lament that we'll never get 80s weekly AWA (most of that is unavailable through other means) or 90s WCW B and C Shows, but we were unlikely to ever see most of that stuff anyway. "Hidden Gems" was my favorite part and they killed that off a couple years ago. We all know WWE (and pro wrestling as a whole) is sleazy and horrible and has been forever. But i feel like this argument is dangerously close to "we need the Confederacy statues to remind us of what not to do" which is just silly. There's no shortage of examples that show just how goddamn shitty this business sorry to whoever this was, but i'm not digging through multiple pages of responses any more. Somebody suggested a sit down introduction to problematic segments, discussing what the issue was, what the context was, and why it needs this warning. I think this is the best take yet. Deleting streaming video that's been widely available for years will never erase it. Forcing viewers to confront the issue at least brings attention to it.

    the irony of this is that, if you listen to him tell it, Piper doing that bullshit at WM6 was his way of showing solidarity. we've come a long ways in 30 years but we're all still stupid and prejudiced.

    wait, this card is this weekend? i though we were still a few weeks away. good lord, my sense of time has completely shattered.
  15. twiztor
    Miesha Tate is one of my all time fave female fighters, so this is exciting news! returning after 5 years off, after having 2 kids, seems like a big hurdle, but i'm not complaining. Come on, Cupcake!

    i thought the show was largely fine, but nothing felt important. i'm with you in wishing Tim Storm would've had a match. Adonis is a good addition to the roster. wasn't a fan of the chant happy crowd. the Thunder Rosa/Kamille match stood out to me because Rosa is awesome. Kamille is definitely the inferior of the two, as she was out of place a number of times and her strikes weren't great. Aldis wrestled the same kind of match he puts on when his challenger doesn't really stand a chance.

    if i were to give it one reason, he wasn't a good promo. He had the look, he was decent enough in the ring, but his charisma and promo skills were severely lacking. there was just always somebody better around, so it never got to be his turn. i listened to a shoot interview with him a few years ago. it was interesting but nothing amazing. He doesn't seem bitter at all, and said he enjoyed his time as "enhancement talent". talked about how he rarely got to win, but at least he got to wrestle every big star around. re: cards that looked great, i remember buying the VHS (!) of No Mercy 2000 because the lineup on the back of the box looked amazing. This would've been a few years after it happened, and i likely would have watched it live on PPV, but i had no recollection of this awesome card taking place. The VHS didn't really live up to the hype, which should be a no-brainer since the PPV didn't leave a lasting impression. Doesn't live up to the former/future World Champ debate, but i feel like it is in line with HH98. No DQ / WWF Title: Kurt Angle vs. the Rock (c) Triple H vs. Chris Benoit Tag Team Titles: Hardy Boys (c) vs. Los Conquistadores (Edge & Christian) European Title: William Regal (c) vs. Naked Mideon (wtf?!?) No Holds Barred: Steve Austin vs. Rikishi (this was Austin's return from injury/getting hit by a car) Cage Match: Chris Jericho vs. X-Pac plus the Dudley Boyz in a Tables Gauntlet Match

    this is my recollection as well.

    what's your take on this? specifically long term. does it label the "New 52" a failed experiment? does it become the biggest stain on Didio's legacy? or is it just part of the ever-evolving DC Universe, an inevitable outcome of continuing Crisis events?
  20. twiztor
    just another example of Vince not being in the "wrestling" business
  21. twiztor
    no, it's all good! not trying to take any credit since all i did was cut out a segment of Saturday Night. i love that more people are seeing it and it was a cool moment realizing that it gets shared around.
  22. twiztor
    hey this is my youtube video! cool to see it posted here (i likely uploaded it to post it here in the first place).
  23. twiztor
    that's a great picture. the one on the far right doesn't look familiar to me. I would've liked to see Agent 37 included and Dick with his long ponytail too (they have Knightfall-era Nightwing which kinda fits the same era, but still...). I appreciate Tony Daniel's art, but that era of him writing Dick as Batman (2009-10) didn't really do much for me.
  24. twiztor
    early reviews that i've read have been very positive. will pick up my copy tomorrow. very excited.
  25. twiztor
    OMG FF7 remastered part 2 coming in April! too late! if my prediction doesn't come true then i'm going all cancel culture on Square
