Curt McGirt

Give me an animated Ghost Rider series with the Nightstalkers and Count Dracula and we're on. I don't care if it's anime style.

Thanks for bringing up Bobby Shane. I had forgot about his story and he was one of the biggest "what ifs" in wrestling. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Shane If you've ever read Gary Hart's book you know about the plane crash and how horrifying it was. Gary of course would be the greatest Dark Side guy if he was still alive. They should just repurpose footage from Heroes of World Class and make an episode.

That hype video is something else, dude is a straight killer (and bonus points for the Conan rip!). It's crazy that a guy who could have blown up to a likely King of Pancrase years earlier ended up being one of the funniest comedy guys in wrestling, then a super serious trainer, and is now gonna have a dream match with the freakin' Gracie Killer.

Mone's entrance got exposed by nobody keeping up with the "CEO" chant in the crowd after it stopped, which exposed it being incredibly cloying (even moreso) and super heelish. Kind of... hmmm. Ah, I got it, like this.

If Hook doesn't come back after Jericho with a barbed wire bat, well... it's still gonna be as bad as ever.

He'll be UNDISPUTED KINGDOM 4 LYFE in the latter case?

I'm probably the only person in the world who still hears "Like A Prayer" and thinks of Gummo.

I think we already got a version of that when Michael Hayes wore the stars n bars facepaint but yeah... not even posting that for a joke

It's it though that it's kinda the team that doesn't need any gold because they never lose?

Whoa. I just realized that nobody that I've seen in this thread has said yet said ANYTHING (unless I missed it) about

How has nobody brought this up yet?!

AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA No. In this show we got not only an "I'm sorry" but a "JUST DIE", and a point at a PPV logo sign. Anything else hardcore count? Two top belts in one division? An Edge match?

Wardlow looked like such a chump being the hired goon for THOSE puds. And to make another sexual reference, nice kick to the hoo-ha, Toni! Rosa don't need that belt again, she needs to be a dirty heel with Deonna. Dr. Looser earned his paycheck tonight from having his necked almost snapped from both a tornillo and running into the stairs, too.

In the chat we weren't sure if Swerve screwed up or not. I do, but it was saved very cleanly minus the wait for the stomp. Man, everyone in AEW hits really hard.

You know Eddie was crying in the back over that.

Dammit I forgot to mention the main (already? Jeez). I think it was a clean half Joe, half Swerve-booked match. Joe having to get into place for everything, especially the end where he was practically begging for Swerve to stomp him (stomp was good though finally) was egregious. But Swerve deserves to be champ so it was feel-good. And he wore Jimmy Rave's cape/coat/whatever! That swear jar comment I made... man, EVERYBODY was cussing. The wrestlers, the crowd, people throwing up the bird at each other, I'm surprised JR didn't say "shit" or something.

Best match was the opener. PAC and Okada laid out a surprisingly slow burn that featured Okada FINALLY turning into a great heel. So much smirking. He even mocked the kickout reaction face! PAC got an ovation after, too, which was sweet of them. I mean he deserved it after taking what even sounded like a shoot DDT on the ground. Second best was Danielson of course. The big deal in this one to me is all the stuff I typically don't like -- the reversals, the flippy dancy stuff -- was poetry in motion here. Art. Physical art. There are two or three 10-step reversal spots that are jaw-droppingly gif worthy. But this wasn't all gif wrestling, and based largely off the sheer Cult of Ospreay going on here, tackling the Master. Yeah, nobody likes Danielson doing injury sells anymore, but I thought it was legit his arm. At least he was kicking around so we knew he could move. Toni and even Rosa saved the bacon! You know why. Willow won, so good. And the ladder match did its best to keep people even chanting after they spent their load on what came before. The rest, I leave to y'all to discuss *sinister laugh* Oh man, Botchamania is gonna be a treat for the swear jar, too.

https://www.criterion.com/films/33670-bound Joey Pants got in! ...no Spun. But I think it's a perfect candidate for them.

ACK I didn't mean Spun. I meant Bound! It's the Joey Pants question. Spun is a very close favorite of mine that I have seen A LOT. I can quote that goddamn thing chapter and verse. There are so many reasons. 1. Hilarious 2. Mickey Rourke coming back with a vengeance into acting 3. Wrestling references and actual wrestling 4. Metal references and actual metal (because the director was in fucking Bathory) 5. Schwarzman and Britney fucking Murphy killing it 6. John Leguizamo actually ruling in a movie 7. Hilarious situations 8. Hilarious dialogue 9. Drugs 10. Cameos from Peter Stormare, Eric Roberts, Debbie Harry (?!), Rob Halford (?!?!), etc. I mean when you can make me like Leguizamo you've won. And name me this. What is another film about drug addiction that is a comedy? (Well, I guess Mickey was in another one, if you count alcohol)

I knew about the gold bobby pins George threw out but must've forget about the valet, with the old timey hand pump. So it is really one of the oldest gimmicks. This might surprise you but (yeah many people here probably know but just in case) Fit Finlay had his wife, Princess Paula, as a manager. And she was a faux Native American as well.

To FURTHER that analysis. 1. Doesn't it make sense for Claudio to have some Eurotrash to his look? 2. Takeshita and Fletcher were the heels. They probably dressed shitty on purpose. Me, I miss the braids, because I thought he was gonna let them grow into dreads.

Chris couldn't have invented the concept of a valet, right? There had to be somebody earlier. If he indeed was as Jeanie said... wow. Of course he does have the superkick and only Michaels could compare. It looks like the snap-slap was on his knee almost, or shin? And the spin is incredible. That's how he could fool 'em. Here's another question. How did Gino manage to be missing for several days without somebody checking? He had to make the shows. The thing with the Israel story is they just knock it out of the park on the other show with describing the escape, but the plane story takes its place this time. "FEEL THE POWAH" Time had to be terrifying. He just has that look on his brow normally, where you know not to fuck with this guy before he turns into another famous British Chris...

So what's the story with the Savoldi collection? Are they digitizing all that?
