It's funny Phil was talking about Black Christmas, since I was torn between choosing one of Bob Clark's other 2 early horror films. I ended up going with CSPWDT over Deathdream, which is a technically superior film and also has a MESSAGE~! delivered with METAPHORICAL SYMBOLISM~! and such (undead 'Nam vet must inject himself with victim's blood to keep from rotting)...but I went with the more fun option of "theatre troupe gets mauled by zombies". I've seen all four Blind Dead films (even the really shitty one on the boat). They're a crazy mish-mosh of things; vampire zombie skeleton warriors steeped in Templar occultism and Wild Hunt mythology. From what I recall the second one was the best.

Now I have visions of Vince watching WCW and saying, "Turner, you magnificent bastard, I read your BOOK!" -

They could always use some sleaze thread stuff to spice it up. Lots of dead cats anyway... -
St. Elmo's Fire might be garbage, but "St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion)" is fucking great and I won't hear otherwise...

Yeah I don't know, it looks like Jimmy's pretty open to dancing and partying all night these days...while drinking some cherry wine of course...

Two pages of increasingly angry bickering degenerating into baseless accusations of bigotry all because Jade Cargill didn't use Grammarly for a tweet. Some of y'all need to go smoke some reefer or something.... -
Honestly, who influenced me the most in expanding my horizons in wrestling? The Great Man of DVDVR... Grew up on WWF in the 80's, found WCW through 90's cable, got back into things for the Monday Night Wars, and then found the IWC...Scoops, Micasa, etc...and then in '99 I found DVDVR, and a man so jubilant, so enthusiastic in his love of wrestling, you couldn't not pay attention... Recently I watched former DVDVRer Kim Justice's excellent youtube video on Michinoku's "These Days", and when he got to the Battlarts match it brought tears to my eyes when he mentioned that that fed had been championed by "the late, great Dean Rasmussen"...that's how he should be remembered, as one of the the greatest writers ever on the subject of professional wrestling. He was our Great Man. I miss him terribly.

Sounds like this dude is just waiting to go full Ryback...

Man all I ask for is one more big stupid Alien film that features Ripley finally giving David the android his comeuppance...

Will Ferrell winning their "Best SNL cast member" tourney was pretty much all I needed to know about Grantland... -
Hey, speaking of that, are we gonna do a Secret Satan again this year? I even put together an updated and somewhat more uniform list of previous picks:

The Termination of CM Punk by The Coward Tony Khan
The Comedian replied to Elsalvajeloco's topic in ALL ELITE WRESTLING
It was the skaters that introduced me to hardcore. Didn't learn til much later that it was a specific genre (ie. NY Crew), but yeah mostly the Relativity Records shit, Youth of Today, Shelter, Bold, Judge, and of course the Gorilla Biscuits. South Jersey's own Turning Point also got a lot of love. I always did like how the GB's Start Today is essentially a self-improvement tape with more cussing. "Get off the couch and turn off the TV, be true to your friends, don't be racist, don't be jealous, be productive and don't waste your time! Fuck fuckity shit fuck!" Shelter's "A Society Based on Bodies" is one of the all-time hidden gem basslines. That's all for now. -

Better yet, "I can control my locker room and you can't" For all their philosophical booking differences, if there's one thing I'm sure Vince and HHH see eye to eye on, it's the superiority of "the WWE way" of doing things, in particular running the locker room. "We can integrate this guy into our locker room, even with people who don't like him, because we're professionals over here, not amateur money marks" is a message I'm sure they wouldn't mind sending. With Punk's ego and sense of self-righteousness, I'd bet he's dying to walk into a WWE arena, bask in the "welcome back" cheers, and take shots at AEW. If he's smart he goes in and tells them what they wanna hear. Beyond that, who knows? Once Rock turns down working Roman at Mania for like the fifth straight year, Vince may get keen on Punk as a suitable replacement, you never know... -
I think 1991 was the last time Notre Dame was fun to watch for their fans too...

Nice of Colorado's run defense to show up for the final drive of the game... TCU's QB is also horrible... I am already sick of hearing the words "Coach Prime" one game into the season...
-
They certainly are improved from last year, but let's not pretend TCU's defense hasn't been complete garbage...

Jack Perry needs to pitch TK on bringing in Ryback as his bodyguard.

They don't have one. That's part of the problem. TK should just hire Haku to stand in the back with his arms folded. If anyone gets feisty they suddenly look over at Haku and he just slowly turns his head side-to-side and just like that everyone's friends again...
