  1. But we knew 20-30 years ago that Hogan was a piece of shit, the signs were all there, it just wasn't important then. Similarly I'm sure the Rock will slip up and make a wrong comment years down the track about the LGBTQ community and we'll feel awkward because it was semi-acceptable at the time. And that's before we start sweeping AJ Styles' comments under the rug.
  2. I enjoyed Mamma Mia 2 far more than I ever expected possible. One of those movies where you can tell the entire cast is having a blast and its infectious (Dominic Cooper noticeable exception though, just looks super awkward throughout). Thoroughly enjoyable.
  3. Easier to smash Hogan for his values, because essentially based on the age demographic, they aren't *our* values. But Rock is pretty much our age, and having to harshly assess his views and comments, means we have to confront our own dubious values and approval of that when we were that age, which isn't as satisfying.
  4. It's strange how in the context of things, Rock cutting grossly homophobic and anti-trans promos twice a week for about 10 years gets well overlooked.
  5. Twin Towers were probably what caused all this. Hogan never got a clean win over Akeem until he was the One Man Gang again.
  6. I was all in on Mr Perfect, because perfecting the gum swat and the behind the back towel throw were difficult as an uncoordinated child. And Mabel. Who doesn't love purple pyjama wear? And when he lost, he never really got beat, he was just fat. Come to think of it, that was mostly how he won too. He was just fat.
  7. I hope he gets a Ricky Martin gimmick. It's not too late.
  8. What are some of the most prominent missed babyface/heel turns in the history of the business? i.e "in hindsight, this should have happened instead, the fans really wanted this to happen" or even just standard hindsight booking it properly...
  9. Was there ever any talk of Hank Aaron wrestling a match in WCW? He's all over their TV in 1992
  10. Yeah - don't really care what her political bend is either way, don't really have a horse in that one at all, or know enough about it, but using that platform to call for death to Palestinians in the context of being an ex-IDF seems a little....off? Any other celebrity being so pro-military in Hollywood seems to be routinely shit on for it.
  11. Sean O'Haire was booked to be the next guy I felt, towards the end. Six months later he was stinking up HWA. Enjoyed Jason Jett's run also, as a guy WWE then did nothing with.
  12. Not necessarily sure NWO should have taken over either so much as it needed a distinctive ending. Hulk got injured, so they just shelved everything awkwardly, some of the guys were faces (Hogan, Nash) but still aligned with heels (Steiner, Luger) Three year angle shouldn't have just fizzled out as it did.
  13. WCW spaceship logo was early 99. I thought it looked great in terms of the upgrade to the Nitro set, was a huge upside on the minimalist Raw one. As a logo, a bit ambiguous granted.
  14. New Jack vs Racist Gorilla Monsoon still the clubhouse leader.
  15. Say what you will about the MIA, they were over as hell, put on some great multi man openers to the PPV, somehow managed to get Bill Demott over as a top babyface, and led to a very forgotten Chavo run as the top cruiserweight heel before the company went under.
  16. 1988 Randy Savage vs 1992 Cactus Jack, Falls Count Anywhere. I just can't see Savage allowing Foley to upstage him on the bumping front, I just can't see how he tops him either.
  17. Still can't believe how teflon Gal Gadot has been over the rape allegations and also some of the incredibly gross things she constantly promotes on Twitter re: middle eastern politics.
  18. Saw Ant-Man tonight. Funny as fuck, granted, but just....pointless? Was surprised it went barely 2 hours with trailers, felt a lot longer and unnecessarily so. Post-credits scene has to be seen though.
  19. Loved, loved, loved The Incredibles 2. Genuine contender for best sequel of all time?
  20. I want to hear from Isiah Thomas.
  21. Crowd and bench clear and Thon Maker just throwing flying knees like he's Sagat. Sets up an awesome War Games with Horn and Pacquiao captaining.
