  1. I think he's at the Undertaker level, where he only loses to who he chooses. But he'll have to choose someone sooner or later.
  2. Streets of Rage with Super-powers, but like power trees, so you evolve. Super jump level three is flight. Weapons level one is melee, and level two is projectiles, but combining Weapons with Energy Blast gives you lightsabres or explosive bullets. Super Strength makes you physically bigger. Higher levels of armour change your costume so you actually are armoured. Strength (or Energy Blast) + Speed gives you charge attacks, but Strength and Jump gives you Earthquake Stomp. And so on. Oh, and dead enemies don't despawn, so every level ends up full of huge corpse piles.
  3. Being Straight Edge makes you better than other people.
  4. So, hypothetically suppose you've just left a TV show where you play one of the most villainous villains in the history of the medium. Where do you go from there? How do you follow it up? Who do you play next? Hitler!
  5. I used to do that. But then one time I didn't pop one, and it healed up much faster. Drained itself somehow.
  6. The thing with Sabre is, number one you shouldn't be Zack Sabre Jr when there was no Zack Sabre Sr. Two, he's 29 and is still built like a gangly teenager, which kind of implies he'll never fill out... and wrestlers generally should look like they could beat somebody up. Those wrestlers who don't look like they could beat somebody up, there's specific ways of working that play into that (Rockstar Spud is good at one type of that; Mandrews is good at another type of it; 1-2-3 Kid was good at it in away X-Pac wasn't). Also, he's a Southerner. Jack Gallagher is credible in that World of Sport style because he's from Wigan, Lancashire. Sabre lacks that legitimacy. Long story short, you should work like you look. And his work implies a level of toughness he can't physically project.
  7. What's more likely, me winning a Deathmatch using your tactics, or you winning a Deathmatch using my tactics? Actually, how do you do in them with your camping spots, now you haven't got the Team Carrier charging around perpetual motion, flushing the other team from cover every ten seconds? Finish 0-0 all the time?
  8. Filth (2013) stars James McAvoy and is based on the Irvine Welsh novel of the same name. It's a great performance from McAvoy, an award winning performance, but the film as a whole is a confusing mess. The book is too, but it works on the page in a way that it doesn't on screen. The shifts in tone it has, the way they try to simulate the disorientation the characters feel by disorienting the viewer... you can see what they were going for, but it kind of feels like they got a bit fancy with the direction. It's the old question about having films with characters who see things that aren't there - do you show them to the audience, or do you trust the actor to sell that they're there without showing them? I think McAvoy's performance would be enough to tell the viewer that this guy's reacting to stimuli no-one else in the room can see or hear. He made this and Trance back to back (I preferred Trance. Rosario Dawson~!). A film based on a book by the guy who wrote Trainspotting, and a film directed by the guy who directed Trainspotting. Wonder if he tried to get a supporting role in T2?
  9. Hypothetically, if Dixie's out of the picture (or just a TV talent with no power), could Spike TV be back in the picture? Because it would be funny if they said to Billy "Fire Dixie and we're back to funding the promotion". He'd do it. He's a cold guy.
  10. Well, I don't see them putting another stone in a Thor film (because Asgard has already had 2 of them), and Spider-Kid isn't really ready to be dealing with Thanos, which leaves Black Panther's movie. And Soul fits better than Time with T'Challa. So possibly the Time stone will be in Dr Strange. Or maybe the first scene in Infinity War will be Thanos easily finding the missing one, to illustrate that the various Marvel heroes wasted time fighting amongst each other & being distracted by lesser problems, and could have made things harder for him if they'd used some sense.
  11. Marty Jones. AKA The Great Brit who gets no internet love (because he never really wrestled outside of the UK... a couple of tours of NJPW in the early 80s, but he made less of a splash than Rocco, never mind Dynamite). Check him out, he's good.
  12. All of him shrank, but at different times. For all we know, he's trapped in the Microverse with original Wasp. So far, we've seen four of the Infinity Stones: The Space Stone (inside the Tesseract, in the vault in Asgard), the Mind Stone (was inside Loki's sceptre, now in Vision's forehead), the Power Stone (in GotG, now in Nova Corps' vault) and the Reality Stone (the Aether, in the Collector's collection). The Soul stone and Time stone have yet to be seen... any guesses which movie they'll show up in? I'd say one or the other is bound to be in Dr Strange. But the other... Guardians 2? Thor Ragnarok? Spider-Man? Black Panther?
  13. Depends which nation the national stage is in. Scotland? Sure. England? OK. The USA? Not really. I mean, he's been in TNA on and off for, what, a year and a half? Hasn't made any kind of splash.
  14. Managed to get Mercenaries called on me during a deathmatch again . Team Deathmatch at the Strip Club, five in the lobby, levels 160, 94 (me), 91, 91 and 8. Teams break down as Team 1: 160, 91 and 91. Team 2, me and the 8. And then my teammate quits the match in the first ten seconds (which probably helped, actually). Get it to 1-1 and started retreating on foot towards the Hospital so they can't use their numbers advantage, but they manage to surround me and get a 2-1 lead. Go up the flyover, get a sniper kill on the guy tracking me, try to get a car and get run over. 2-2. Respawn in the car park, jump in a car and drive away. Mercs get called. Stop to kill some Mercs, they catch up, drive away again. Up a hill, over the crest, the Mercs are sticking to the roadbut one of them's done a blip reveal and chased me. Stop and get out, the guy who's tailing me flies over the hilltop and crashes. Advanced Rifle kill, 3-2 to me. Drive some more, and I'm heading to Sandy Shores airfield, but the Mercs get me. The blip reveal guy then suicides to respawn near the map, but they don't lose the point like you do in Vehicle Deathmatches. The guy who didn't chase me has apparently got AFK at some point. I say hello headshot, 4-2. Go up onto the freeway, two of them assume I'm in a car and get in one to chase me. Sticky Boom, 6-2. Then I get shot, 6-3, and... what's that? There's only ten seconds left? I can win easily by the mere act of not doing a fast respawn? Well, then. Sucks to be you guys. I won by spending 98% of the match by running away. The Cristobal technique.
  15. So I was rewatching Ant-Man, and at the end the way that he ultimately beats Yellowjacket, it's not really clear what happened there. He breaks YJ's suit up, and then bits of him start shrinking at random, and he disappears. Is he dead? Is he in the microverse? He doesn't get changed into red goop like the sheep he was zapping with the shrink ray earlier in the movie, so.... But then it got me thinking about how most Marvel movie villains seem to die, but not in an actual 'dead corpse lying on the floor' kind of way (because that would get them a 15 rating, instead of the 12A they need). So looking at all the movies' villains: Iron Man 1's Iron Monger: Blown up and dead. Hulk's Abomination: Choked unconscious but apparently alive. Iron Man 2's Whiplash: Blown up and dead. Justin Hammer alive and arrested. Thor's Loki: Fell from the Bifrost, but returned later. Captain America's Red Skull: Zapped by the Tesseract and who knows? The Avengers' Loki: Alive and arrested. Iron Man 3's Aldrich Killian: Blown up and dead. Fake Mandarin alive and arrested, but kidnapped from jail by actual Mandarin later? Thor Dark World's Malekith: Crushed and dead. Cap Winter Soldier's Alexander Pierce: Shot and dead. Agent Rumlow: Crushed and alive. Batroc: Alive and arrested. Guardians o'Galaxy's Ronan: Blasted by an energy ray and... dead? Avengers Ultron's Ultron: Deleted. Ant Man's Yellowjacket: Something. Cap Civil War's Zemo: Alive and arrested. Agent Rumlow blown up and dead. Anything I'm missing? Anyone else who might have survived? Anyone know why Tony Stark is so fond of immolating his adversaries?
  16. Shit, I meant Lazer, not Hydra for the Deathmatches. There's a way to do the Pac Standard finale without losing a single dollar. PetrolCB has done it about a million times. I was there for two of them. You need to own the apartment that's near where the bikes are stowed and have a Kuruma in that garage. Have one person pick up all the money, and protect them during the run to the bikes (stay in the bank while they clear the street, then have two people clear the front while one watches the back). Ignore the bikes, hide from the cops until the game lets you into the apt, then Kuruma drive up the Pacific Coast and around to the boat (don't go the way the game wants you to, with the roadblocks and the parachute jump. Go like you were doing the Fleeca job again).
  17. I've been unbeatable in Vehicle Deathmatches lately. Because I've not been doing any Tank ones, and low levellers who haven't really flown a Buzzard or Hydra accept the invite and then don't know what they're doing. Made a bunch of progress in Deathmatch quest 2.0 because I ran into someone who was convinced that if we just found the right map, he'd be able to beat me. Just the two of us, but they were always set as Team DMs, until we did Boatyard which was normal, and we could see each other's win-loss records. He was 0-12. I was 442-403 (across both characters).
  18. Bobby Roode used to do the Rolling Necksnap in every match. But he's always said Perfect was his #1 favourite Wrestler.
  19. Michael PS Hayes managing a younger team, dressing up like they do? Perhaps not.
  20. So, did Trips get smaller when he went to WCW, or did he briefly tag with Saturn between leaving WCW and joining the WWF?
  21. Joe Rogan: "What's going to be the next move that isn't supposed to work in a real fight, that's going to work in a real fight?" Bas Rutten: "Clothesline!"
