  1. WRONG PUNISHER. I think. If you're talking about Harry Heck, that's the Tom Jane Punisher.

    That would be an even better matchup: Spirtual successor to 80's sci-fi/fantasy B-movies vs. spiritual successor to 80's action B-movies.

     

    Speaking of Punisher movies, where's Dolph Lundgren? Best Punisher movie, probably better than at least half the movies in the Marvel bracket, certainly deserving of getting in over a crappy Hulk TV  movie...

  2. Many years ago on DVDVR one of the lads wrote an excellent piece on how Southern wrestling was generally framed in the context of the Civil War from the Confederate point of view. Basically, it's gutsy babyfaces fighting valiantly in a (usually) losing cause against heels with superior numbers and firepower.

    I've always felt that the Hooks/Dunn/Jackson triumvirate was the best trio of females the show ever had, edging out Radner/Curtin/Newman, and miles above the ridiculously overhyped and generally horrible Shannon/Oteri/Gasteyer grouping...

     

    Ana Gasteyer was one of those people who did well in everything she was in.... it just wasn't funny. Similar to Maya Rudolph.

     

    Gilda Radner and Jan Hooks were the best female cast members.

     

    And Will Forte is seriously underrated, but perhaps I'm influenced by his other work. I've enjoyed him in almost everything he's done, from flawlessly playing Ted Turner on Conan to his numerous Tim and Eric cameos.

     

     

    Agreed on Gasteyer, Radner, and Hooks. I think someone else said Radner was underrated, which is very true. To me, her and Belushi were the All-Stars of the original cast.

  4. As great as Heyman's promos are on their own, Brock's facial expressions make them that much better.

    Also, Cole and King unrelentingly whining about JBL being a heel color guy was way more irritating than usual.

  5. No way Cena wins. They can't be that stupid, I refuse to believe they'd be that dumb to waste Lesnar against Cena AGAIN

     

    Yeah I mean, Lesnar over Cena is a tap-in. Yes, WWE has blown tap-ins in the past, and they certainly aren't playing their best game this summer in general, but odds still favor them making the tap-in.

  6. I was legitimately shocked by Piper showing up since he just did that shoot where he insinuates that Patterson sexually harassed him back in the day. And when Lesnar showed up, my first thought was to wonder if anyone in the ring could still take a bump. Speaking of Lesnar, I'm trying to come up with a name for Heyman's John Cena dis. "Paul E.ther"? "Fuck Wit' Hey Day"? "Real Muthaphukkin' Jewz"?

    You ran with the Jets, I take it?

     

    True story:

     

    Me and a friend are walking with our dates through their neighborhood (a plush neighborhood in Bloomfield Hills, MI).  We're just walking when a group of like 7 guys appear out of nowhere.  They start talking trash to our dates and our girls are all "no, don't do it, don't fight them".  The guys keep going and eventually the girls are like "alright, go take 'em out" and we start moving toward the group.  One of them yells "They're from Pontiac,  RUN!" and they bolted.

     

    100% true story.

     

     

    So Bloomfield Hills is where the Orphans relocated to...
