  1. All this college talk on a wrestling message board just making me more bummed that there hasn't yet been a Mike Rotunda cameo in NXT to raid Chase U. for the Varsity Club.
  2. Muting and blocking has absolutely been my go-to for several years now. I still see some honestly trash and intellectually dishonest opinions whenever someone that doesn't just mute-and-block and HAS to "dunk-tweet", but all that does is give me one more account to mute and/or block. It's still wild to me how many people fall for the "posting intellectually dishonest opinions in bad faith for the sake of getting dunk-tweets" gimmick on social media. People think they are smart "correcting" the original bad tweet or clever for shouting "look at this idiot" when they don't realize that the original post was made for the sole purpose of engagement and signal-boosting, and that the majority of "posting in bad faith" accounts would choke to death from lack of engagement.
  3. Someone else here has watched TIPTOES! What a compelling piece of absolute insanity and career self-immolation. So many bad choices made with so many different aspects of that movie and I can't imagine that Bright's extended cut would have done that much more to make it less insane. Also over the weekend I watched DEATH MACHINES. Some very delightful 1970s American-produced martial arts trash with multiple insane deaths in just the first 15 minutes alone, with 3 badass silent assassins trained (drugged?) to not feel pain under the guidance of a Japanese lady boss intent on taking over action from the mafia and innocent bystanders, mobbed-up sleazoids and biker gangs all falling in their wake. Some pacing issues as it drags during the middle of the movie (as many of these lower budget 70s genre flicks do) but the adrenaline of the first 15 minutes as well as a fun final fight help make sitting through that sloggy middle worth it.
  4. Hey I was at this show. I have no memory of this, I assume because the minute I heard Black Veil Brides get announced I booked it to the bar for a refill of boozy beverages. A very surreal night. It was the day Jeff Hanneman of Slayer passed away. Metallica was also the headliner and it became apparent as the night went on that a large part of the crowd were "Metallica fans" but not necessarily "METAL fans". Two moments really hit home that dissonance: 1. The show started with an announcement and moment of silence for Jeff Hanneman. A dude in a Metallica t-shirt unironically asked me "Who's Jeff Hanneman?" 2. Watching everyone in Metallica shirts get alienated and pissed off as Dillinger Escape Plan's set started and continued: https://youtu.be/NgGZiQOOhAA?si=TtpAVZKpZjQZiO2a
  5. Are we counting the baby goat that came to the ring with Hillbilly Hills as a manager? Because out of all the managers and valets on that show, I thought the baby goat had the brightest future out of all them. PS yes, the guy doing the hillbilly gimmick on this show brought an actual baby goat to the ring with him. Unfortunately the goat was taken to the back once the match began
  6. ACW Summer Meltdown 2000, an Upper Peninsula Michigan indie wrestling event that I attended in Summer 2000 that had appearances from a Fake Doink and a Fake LA Parka but inexplicably somehow managed to book Real MENG while he was in WCW. And the opening match has Ken Anderson pre-WWE/TNA, and I assume he was my second favorite wrestler on the show next to Meng because he came out to "Push It" by Static X https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y42A33JBpwY
  7. Yeah Arrow seems pretty liberal when it comes to licensing their new sets to streaming at the same time, they put a few of the Coffin Joe movies up on their Arrow Streaming sub service as well at the same time as the physical set came out, and there's a lot of other stuff that goes up on their own streaming sub the same time as the physical set. Even with the box sets or collections a lot of those will go streaming at same time, though they (rightfully so) will sometimes withhold 1 or 2 movies from the bigger sets initially.
  8. I am bad at math. Are there enough match permutations between 3 Von Erichs and 3 Freebirds to pull off "8 Crazy Nights at Reunion Arena"?
  9. This is reminding me of the time that they had Bradshaw teaching Taka Michinoku how to drive like he was from a third-world country instead of JAPAN.
  10. I really wish we got more involvement from Dee Snider in 1980s WWF. He is a fantastic promo here and you can tell the dude "got" it. Some fun cameos from other MTV stars circa 1985 in this, especially the one at the end! https://twitter.com/allan_cheapshot/status/1759132154091487381
  11. This is obviously being posted this week to capitalize on a more salacious story, but this was still an interesting watch, KATU-TV in Portland posting a 1985 local talk show appearance on their station by Billy Jack Haynes and Sgt. Slaughter with a run-in by the Road Warriors to promote that night's show at the Portland Memorial Coliseum: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvGNKeDYa48 And the match itself - The Road Warriors vs Sgt Slaughter and Billy Jack Haynes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7-w-v9V5Zc
  12. Amityville 1992: Its About Time has the balls to be about an evil clock and use that title for the movie, Megan Ward, and the below death among several other very wacky deaths (though the Youtube title here is misleading, the clock doesn't actually KILL here): https://youtu.be/LvphtzVsYoA?si=sVNeUPdo9k8uwtG2
  13. Yeah, The Rock isn't as much of a pure Hollywood phenom as he was five or ten years ago, but a lot of folks here seem to be overreacting and talking like he's completely washed like Chuck Norris in 1995 or Steven Seagal in 2005.
  14. From the second half on an all-time classic Super Bowl. I had no side to take in this game (a Michigan kid from birth to my early 20's so was riding the Lions wave this year), but feel bad for the 49ers fans who are going to be hurting from that missed PAT for years if they don't exorcise the demon and win immediately within the next few years. I also feel bad for the 49ers caught in camera shots looking dejected while covered in celebratory confetti. That shit is about to replace Lieutenant Dan in social media memes.
  15. I said this elsewhere, but my emotions upon seeing that screencap of "pre-gimmicked" Chick Donovan was similar to when I found out years ago that Nikita Koloff was just some dude from Minnesota named Scott.
