Curt McGirt

Man, the stuff I missed when I was a kid... a mysterious benefactor has aided me in my quest for Dangerous Alliance material and this is the first serious gem I've seen. The story is that Barry Windham has been tagging with a 21-year old Dustin but the Enforcers have smashed his arm in a car door (thus leading to Larry nicknaming himself "the Cruncher") and he had to have reconstructive surgery. Barry shows up with his arm taped and says he's got another partner for Dustin. Out comes a guy wearing a cape and one of those gigantic dragon Halloween masks that costs like a hundred bucks at the local magic shop. Dustin takes them off and it's the missing Rick Steamboat, leading to the Clash crowd E-X-P-L-O-D-I-N-G and the Enforcers losing it in a fit of panic. Then all four guys proceed to tear it up in a classic tag. Larry was a great partner for Arn and the part where he slaps Steamer and flat sprints out of the ring to escape his wrath is the best. Super angle, super crowd, super hot match.

The Honest Trailer for T2 totally ripped the entire logic of the series to pieces. After watching that I can't even take the first one seriously. I mean, it still rules, but there is no logic there.

I'll get that Robocop just for the poster alone.

I just bought Overlord on the cheapo tip ($4.99 at Family Video) and watched it again. It was worth about five times that. Such a great horror film and great war film are hard to find and that movie does both, plus sticks the landing. The closest film I can think of to doing both of those is probably Near Dark (different styles, but similar concept and execution).

Team PAWG vs. Nikki Cross and Sarah Logan I'll just leave that one there for the Ciberneticos to Cibernetico

This might help ?

Stan deserves more than getting punched in the sack for his birthday

Its all those mountain climbing jobs he's taken trying to rip off Tony Bourdain's job (who was only dumb enough to get wrecked riding a four wheeler)

Dude on the right (sorry, don't know his name) is like "Rhyno? Seriously?"

Speaking of Botchamania, the bit of Sandman dancing in that ending segment they made for him in the last one needs a gif. That was really hilarious and made me have to look up the original video of the skater dude going down the list of shit he hated about his rival. "Me? I'm tight as fuck!"

This DVR sure is coming in handy. Among the gems I've scored already is To Live and Die in LA by William Friedkin. It's pretty much Manhunter (Kinda) Works for the Secret Service. William L. Petersen, playing one Dick Chance (heh), is a not-so-ethical SS guy whos partner gets whacked out raiding a counterfeit money operation by a very, VERY seedy Willem Dafoe so him and his reluctant new partner get locked in a full-bore run at getting revenge. They do all kinds of perjurous shit, from stealing from a crime scene to an operation involving another theft that goes extremely wrong and ends up in a car chase to rival Friedkin's other classic in The French Connection. It's the film's centerpiece -- like Connection's was -- and how they pulled off multiple cars chasing one car through LA's film-famous drainage basins and up the freeway going the wrong way with a thousand wrecks occurring is beyond me. You can kind of grasp how they pulled off Gene Hackman chasing that train but this one is mind boggling. Aside from that the plot is complex but reasonable and the goings on are nice and sleazy, plus there's some welcome gore; Friedkin's a fan of people getting shot in the face apparently. Roger Ebert actually gave this four stars when it came out. I wouldn't go that high but it's a solid, very '80s noir.

The only thing is, Flair is still Flair and Bryan is still Bryan. They can lose a fall and still be who they are, which is wrestling gods. You really think that losing to Pillman would have derailed a Sting feud, or losing to Buddy will derail a Reigns feud? If anything I think it shows that they have chinks in their armor and can be infallible, which gives their opponents a psychological advantage in the audience's eyes. And if they win, well, they're Flair and Bryan, they're supposed to.

That lineup is so Japan Indie World it ain't even funny.

Is that Ibushi? Also: IRON CHICKEN

Fuck you, Lodi

That bump that one of those ladies took out of the ring was fucking psycho. There's people today that wouldn't want to do that.

Yeah, that's what I remember, somebody posting him being excited for fucking Cracker Barrel. It is pretty damn cool when you're nine years old though.

Just thought about this: Did it even end a match the first time it was ever done, which IIRC was Kanemoto vs. El Samurai (which I haven't seen in forever)? And if so how stupid is that?

I just want to say Re: the match pictured above, fuck those guys for the Poisoned Frankensteiner. It's bad enough I have to watch that shit in New Japan, now I have to see it in WWE, and it will still not end a match.

One Man Gang was a biker gimmick so...

THAT was the reason for the braces! Forgot all about it, that was nasty.

Found this in the list of the last video, leaving it here for later perusal. I like seeing baby Takayama since he got trashed for so long.

To wrap this back around, didn't Cracker Barrel have a prior connection to wrestling in some way too? Like THE RYBACK used to love to go there or something?
