  1. You have to appreciate them giving the Cena figure his new lame-o hairstyle.
  2. How have none of us brought up that Viking squash yet?! The dumpy guy with the bald spot and the teenaged-Fenriz-from-Darkthrone getting killed was too fun. Somebody's gotta gif the kid ending up with his own crotch in his face on the mat.
  3. Neither is his sangre (heh), apparently. Also never expected to see the equivalent of a Ganso Bomb in a AAA match. Man, those announcers were treating this one like the building was on fire and all the doors were barred.
  4. I was thinking of Richard Slinger. Dammit. And yes, that is THE Johnny Swinger in Impact.
  5. If Swinger can still work like he did in All Japan this could be awesome.
  6. Jacob Fatu sounds trailer park as fuck. I approve 100%.
  7. The funny thing is we also got a Nattie chant tonight, which is a far cry from what happened in Montreal. As Bryan would say, "Fickle!" BTW, his loud, monotone meltdowns are still making me absolutely die with laughter.
  8. Did any of them ever rip off the supposed look of the actual Zodiac Killer?
  9. A goddamn three-way dance next week. Heyman marks, you must be in heaven. ...of course, they still had a fine match. That Uranage and then that Exploder were NASTY. Crowd was surprisingly subdued, but that might have been due to the pacing. Things I liked most about the beginning: Strowman flipping the table like it was made of paper and AJ doing that silly little jump in celebration that made me say out loud "What a goober!".
  10. Dunno why I've never seen Scream and Scream Again. That was at Circus Video for years and I always dug the coverart (plus, that lineup of actors? Get outta here)
  11. Also features a whole pile of Dusty being Dusty. He was really in rare form here with the "Rhodeisms". Poor Barry Houston. Also, didn't know "Maniac" Mike Davis from Global and World Class worked in WCW. I looked him up and he died at only 45 of a massive heart attack within the same six month period of the deaths of Terry Gordy and Chris Adams. EDIT: Huh. In Mike's Wiki it said that the Rock'n'Roll RPMs' finisher was called the Spandex Splits and was banned due to giving people neck injuries. What was that move exactly?
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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).
  15. Team PAWG vs. Nikki Cross and Sarah Logan I'll just leave that one there for the Ciberneticos to Cibernetico
  16. Stan deserves more than getting punched in the sack for his birthday
  17. 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)
  18. Dude on the right (sorry, don't know his name) is like "Rhyno? Seriously?"
  19. 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!"
  20. 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.
