  1. With Bobby being placed up on the Brock/Roman level where he belongs now, maybe Trips' next trick will be to retcon out the entire Hurt Business break up ...
  2. Hey, speaking of Important Internet Wrestling Figures of the Late 90's... With Cornette's recent revelation of booking notes from 1997 in which Vince Russo pitched bringing Yokozuna back to put him in the Hart Foundation, does that mean that Al Isaacs is finally vindicated after all these years? SCOOPS FOREVER BABY!
  3. LOL @ Dan Snyder turning into the villain from The Last Boy Scout...they gonna "novelly remove him" with a briefcase rigged with explosives...
  4. At the rate the Yankees retire numbers, Roberto Kelly's gonna be in there soon...Jesse Barfield's got a fighting chance...
  5. Also, as either an alternate or concurrent interpretation:
  6. It seems like everyone rates the one where Hokuto wins, but I've always preferred the one where Kandori wins. Great finish, after all the bombs thrown Kandori just wallops DQ with an uppercut to put her away, all while LCO and Kong in hysterics at ringside really sells the moment...
  7. Among other things, The Last Broadcast was prescient I think in noting the dangers of internet anonymity all the way back in 1998...
  8. They did a great job of bringing DD into the sitcom world of She-Hulk without making a joke of him in the process. Teasing another big DD hallway fight only for Jen to drop through the roof on the bad guys instead was fantastic.
  9. If nothing else, Pieces is the only film I've ever seen that uses Brucesploitation as a jump scare...
  10. Dude, is that the theme to A Better Tomorrow in the background? Awesome...
  11. Ya know ,I've always heard that Randy Savage's "retirement" to commentator/part-timer status in the 90's was at Vince's insistence, which I never quite got. He's your biggest and most bankable star post-Hogan, and he only turns 40 in '92, which in wrestling terms is still his prime. Vince being so hard-up for ideas in a post-Hogan/ongoing steroid trial world and leaning so hard into jingoism that he had Undertaker going patriotic and ran an evil Finn gimmick is pretty hilarious. I wonder if Bucky was already influencing him at that time, whispering in Vince's ear, "I know Halme's got the look Vince, but the accent! Have you heard him speak? Cartoon villain's our only booking option!"
  12. My biggest complaint about Criterion Channel has always been the paultry selection of horror films, so hopefully they'll add some interesting stuff.
  13. Bad News had a house show run with Savage early in Savage's World title run. There's a really awesome street fight between the two on some Coliseum Video tape I once saw. Anyway, story goes that before they were deadset on the Savage heel turn, Bad News as transitional champ from Savage back to Hogan was discussed.
  14. Now we just have to hope that Feige realizes that the same is true for Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson.
  15. Well, that was the least-inspiring season opener win I've ever seen from the Eagles. Is it too late to bring back actual preseasons so teams won't look like they've barely played together in Week 1?
  16. Personally I'd like to see TK really go scorched earth. Like have Colt Cabana come back and win the Trios Title with his surprise partners, Ryback and CP Munk...
  17. How has that shit not bombed out already? "Hey guys, let's do an Indy wrestling promotion where the gimmick is that we hate Indy wrestling!" Fuckin' brilliant I tell ya ...
  18. If nothing else, she could be the poster woman for the whole "people don't age as quickly as they used to" thing... Here's 33-year-old Judy. Bianca Belair and Bayley are currently 33 for reference.
  19. I loved Prometheus and felt like it was a victim of a massive internet campaign to get people to hate it sight-unseen...
  20. As a 45-year-old who's literally going in to get an ultrasound to see if I have thrombosis in my leg in 40 minutes, this is something I wish I hadn't read...
  21. Possibly the first televised male power bomb. At the very least Judy Martin had to have been doing them on the distaff side before then. Had the original Tanaka/Sato Orient Express debuted yet? Sato was finishing their prelim matches with a seated power bomb (dubbed the "Japanese Veg-o-matic" in true Gorilla Monsoon fashion).
  22. First episode is brisk, to-the-point, fun, funny, CGI not as bad as the previews, Tatiana Maslany is barefoot so much you'd think Tarantino was involved (if you like that sort of thing)... I enjoyed it.
  23. Maffew's become a slave to his own format. I prefer Promo Joe these days.
  24. Do we really want Ric anywhere near the same ring as a woman who's offense is about 45% "jumping at you ass-first"?
