Wolf of Wall Street seems to be too out there for WWF especially with Vince's story spanning several decades.
It's going to be Patton meets The Hudsucker Proxy with a slight touch of Being There.
Now I have visions of Vince watching WCW and saying, "Turner, you magnificent bastard, I read your BOOK!"

This feels too normal for A24. I'm going to need a talking goat, a bizarre pagan sex ritual in the last 5 minutes, a decapitation out of left field, one of them being possessed, a crazed fan where the camera slowly zooms in on them at least 7 times, or all of the above.
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...

Jimmy Butler would beat James Harden to death with a coffee tumbler the first time he rolled into practice late smelling like south beach.
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...

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.

Bugenhagen (Bugez) is a bit miffed, and thinks he was released due to 'a backstage political play'. In the comments.....
I can definitely see what he's saying, though I can't exactly say that I'm in desperate need of seeing Bugenhagen wrestle ever again and in WWE that actually matters. But it is interesting to see someone who should have been right up 279% up Vince's ally (decent amateur background, ridiculous muscular development, perfectly suited to 'written on weed, delivered on coke' promos) basically completely fail.
I think the truth is though, you look at his Cagematch record, think about how short many of those matches were....and this is a guy with very little actual ringtime, with the vast majority of his matches against other green guys. Whilst the current house show schedule is better for many, I'm not sure it was good for a guy like Bugenhagen - he really needed time with the veteran heavyweights and it didn't happen.Sounds like this dude is just waiting to go full Ryback...

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.

Hey let's not bring Shelter into this now...

There is that narrative of, "I can control him and you cannot...".
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...

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...

This had to be idk 5 or 6 years ago but I was in a mall Vegas with my mom we walked past a man that looked an awful lot like Jim Brown my mom was convinced it was Jim Brown but this man wearing an Orange shirt and in every people appearance I’ve ever seen of Jim Brown’s he was wearing a black shirt so I was convinced he wasn’t Jim Brown. I’m still not sure if it was Jim Brown or not.
Strangely enough, he never didn't wear an orange helmet...

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...

SECRET SATAN 2023
in MOVIES & TV
Posted
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.
