S.K.o.S.

The first point of comparison that comes to mind is that both those matches felt very different from what you'd expect in WWE/WWF, even right when they were announced. For Shield vs. Wyatts, a high-profile heel faction vs. heel faction match in WWE is nearly unheard of (which probably has something to do with why we got "This is awesome" chants before the match even started). For Michaels vs. Mankind, Foley had been in the WWF for less than a year, and being put in the main event so soon was pretty unexpected. Also Michaels was coming off big matches with Bret and Bulldog earlier that year, which were more on the pure wrestling side of things. I know he had the No DQ match with Diesel, but my point is, this felt like it was going to be something completely different for him. Something really crazy.

Welcome back! I haven't seen either of those. Had no idea Harmony Korine was in Stoker.

But if some poster with a wife who likes Roman Reigns died today, that would mean one more single woman in the world who is amenable to watching wrestling. Some guys would be lining up to "console" her, especially if her dead husband leaves her a lot of wrestling memorabilia. Struggling to keep the smile off her face at her husband's funeral, and then dirtying up the bedsheets before he's even cold in the ground! How dare she!

Toronto mayoral candidates are starting their campaign early!

That's a pretty dire commentary on the state of the indies when Roderick Strong is a standout promo. Roderick Strong. Not to mention Kevin Steen being in better shape. Unless it just means "better shape than he used to be". His waistline is still pretty huge last I saw.

Ambrose also used it on a PPV earlier this year (I think Elimination Chamber) and texted Nigel to say thanks. Nigel tweeted about it, saying something like "I appreciate the text, but don't thank me, thank (name of guy who originally came up with the move)." So he seemed surprisingly okay with it.

I think with me having it at #4, it's going to be one of those things where if I look back at the list a few years from now, I'll think "Wow, I put that way too high." And then I'll watch the movie again some other time and be like "Oh never mind, #4 was the right spot for it."

You know, the first time I saw the commercial, it was in a bar with no sound on the tv, and it looked like it could be a pretty good movie. Then when I saw it again later somewhere else with the sound on... ugh. And I think that's right in line with what you guys are saying.

Aronofsky has a pretty good track record for making movies that get critical acclaim.

I remember the top three matches being seen as a kind of old guard vs. new guard theme at the time. Also remember seeing it live at a movie theater and a little kid in front of me absolutely losing his mind (in a good way) over the main event finish.

I enjoyed how they were apparently trying to have the rich guy put on the most abrasive music possible at his place, and managed to put together a brostep song with a drop that lasted for like ten minutes straight. Also neat to see the leads of The Innkeepers reunited under very different circumstances.

Rippa, the board is posting threads backwards.

I was the other vote for The Past. It's like someone watched The Descendants and said "That was okay, but we could switch some things around and make it way more interesting."

I had no idea what was meant by Glassholes. I was like "Philip Glass fans?"

Computer screens all across the country are dotted with spittle as wrestling fans splutter with outrage

We don't know. It's like soccer.

Oh my goodness that Filth movie looks amazing. My ballot had 22 movies... I'd say I'd expect 13 of them to show up on the countdown. We'll see!

If you can have co-winners of a Royal Rumble, you can have co-winners of March Madness.

I was down there last summer (business trip - not my choice to go that far south in the summer) and thought Redfish had really great food, though it might be just a touch fancier than what you're looking for. They had this drink that had peach jam in it and was served in a jam jar... and I closed out the meal with bread pudding. Food coma.

Seriously, send me a PM on it once you watch it and get some thoughts together, or do a board post or whatever. I will reply with a massive wall of text.

Watched Enemy for the second time last night. I was looking to confirm some theories I had from the first time I watched it - instead, I noticed a whole bunch of stuff that I'd missed, and now I've kind of got a new take on it, but haven't totally figured it out. There are Lynch movies like Lost Highway and Inland Empire where I know I'm never going to understand it and don't even bother to try figuring it out. There are Nolan movies like Memento and Following where I can watch it a couple of times and feel like I've got it 100%. Enemy is right in between. I've almost got it, but not quite, and I feel like there is something to "get" but I don't know if I ever totally will. More people need to see this.

Don't be a Cock. Not even. Here is a Cesaro shoulderbutt: Here is an uppercut: You'll notice the first one looks like a flashy way of disguising a soft move. The latter is fucking disgusting. An uppercut involves hitting a guy with your fist. Cesaro is supposed to be doing a European uppercut, which involves hitting a guy with your forearm, since hitting with a closed fist is illegal in wrestling. I assume everyone already knew that and are not bothering to explain it for some feed-the-troll type reason

Ahahahaha. I love that you essentially wrote "I know this isn't what it means, but it means that actually." Well if it gets someone to think to themselves "Hey, you know what, I actually would've voted Reigns over absolutely anyone who isn't Bryan or Cesaro! I am a complete yogurt!" then that post did its job IMO.

So, Enemy opens in theatres today, but I think it's only in the Toronto and NYC areas. I have some Very Important Points to make about that movie, but it needs to be exposed to a wider audience before I start blabbing about it. Maybe I'll go drag a friend to see it this weekend and then talk their ear off afterwards.

You missed my point: it's not that his moveset is stale, it's that he's typically not connected to it. The match with Cesaro, where he was very much wrestling with some intention and character motivation really puts a spotlight on the rest of his matches both in the voting period, and in the past couple of years. So he has a great match, and it's a point against him because of all those other matches he had that weren't as great. Interesting
