I would guess it's to set up a decisive win on a bigger stage, but... because WWE Cage Matches don't prevent interference (in fact, they encourage it) there's not really a stip match they can go to that can say 'Feud over, this guy's better than that guy' short of HiaC. Which is too big of a match for a midcard deal.

Well, it's the problem when you're trying to do an unpredictable gimmick in a company where everyone has to wrestle the same style. 'You never know what Dean Ambrose is going to do next' but it'll probably be a series of punches and a running clothesline like everyone else does. What hurt Foley was, every time he tried to be less of a 'crazy guy who takes crazy bumps' and more of a storyteller (which he tried to do almost constantly after the first Sabu match in '94), people were disappointed he wasn't taking enough crazy bumps, and didn't want to invest in his stories, so he got pulled back into a style he was trying to get away from.

Vince so loved the Bellas, he put them on Superstars, then had them both pursue super-nerd Daniel Bryan, get dumped by him so he could go out with Gail Kim instead, then get fired them. He bought them back for Total Divas. That's it.

The Armageddon Rag sold terribly and nearly killed his career though (it's really good. It just failed commercially on it's release). But then he went to Hollywood to write TV, made a shitload of money from scripts, and put together the Wild Cards book series and wrote some of his best short stories at the same time. He's had a bit of a habit of landing on his feet if you think about it.

Normally I applaud alternate casting, but Little John was a white man. There was no such thing as a black Saxon. Some folklore always seems to place a Saracen or a Moor in the company of the Merry Men so why can't Foxx play one of them? They invited Azeem just to get Morgan Freeman a paycheck in Prince of Thieves and the assassin Nasir was a pretty popular character in the BBC series. Little John is supposed to be played by a great big bear of a man. Jamie Foxx is 5'9" and skinny. Bad Casting~! Nasir was in the ITV series from the 80s, not the BBC one. The BBC one was only 8 years ago. The Costner one was rubbish. Nottingham is over 150 mile from the South Coast, you're never walking that in a day. Shit, you aren't riding a horse that far in a day. And it made a terrible Bryan Adams song number one in the hit parade for three sodding months. And loads of Americans can't even pronounce Robin Hood properly. Rob-In (pause) Hood. Not Rob'n'hood. Although if they were doing a modern urban/ghetto version of the story, Rob'n'Hood would be a good title.

Well, when you have eight minutes of material, and you take eight minutes to say it, it's generally good. If you've got five minutes of material to fill a 20 minute segment with, not so much.

The greatest missed opportunity ever - from the days when TV producers didn't have the 'just film everything' mentality. Also, Bowie did this with Bolan right before Bolan died in September '77, then a month later did Little Drummer Boy with Bing Crosby, who died almost immediately thereafter. Which is why the music business had a weird superstition about doing duets with Bowie for a few years (until Freddie did one).

Wouldn't it be funny if they gave the Warrior award to John Cena for all his Make-a-Wish deals? I mean, they're giving it to the CEO of Susan G Komen at some point, that's obvious. Maybe even this year.

He did an interview in Power Slam while he was still in WCW, where he was asked if he missed the WWF. He said he did, but he didn't miss it the way it 'is now' (in 1999), he missed it the way it was (when he was there). He was upset about how they were setting up a Hart Foundation vs NoD feud with the racist graffitti in the locker room angle as well.

Gary Albright started it though. And I'd blame Angle as much, for stealing the spot and making it an 'anyone can do this' move, rather than it being a signature move for one guy and one guy only. If they'd made doing one German Suplex a legit finisher, and the Rolling Germans into the WWE equivalent of the Tiger Driver 91 EmergencyKillKillDeathMove, that would have been better. But they didn't, and it's too late now.

What would you do if they sang 'Closer' by Nine Inch Nails? Or Killing in the Name?

How much do they cost in America? Because the ones I've seen in England are never cheaper than £20 (like $30). Which to me isn't cheap for something that small.

Open some factories and solve local unemployment.

The first episode new Beowulf: Return to the Shieldlands show was a bit rubbish. Comes across too similar to The Last Kingdom, only with added cgi monsters. Hopefully it'll pick up.

Gibbet is pronounced with a soft g, why wouldn't flibbertigibbet?

It is pronounced 'Jiff' and always has been. Who are you to doubt Big E? EDIT for proof: http://www.olsenhome.com/gif

When your gimmick is 'The Man of 1000 Holds', doing the same ones in every match is going to kill your credibility. Of course, they gave him the name after he started doing the style, so it's a circular argument. He had to do that style though, really, because he wasn't going to get himself over with high-flying, wasn't a big power move guy like Benoit, didn't have the natural charisma of an Eddy, didn't have a body like Bagwell, wasn't a prettyboy like Alex Wright, wasn't crazy like Sabu... He played to his strengths and it worked. He was in nobody's top 5 favourite Wrestlers, but he was in everyone's top 5 favourite matches.

I watched Under the Skin and kind of wish I hadn't bothered. I really don't like those type of movies that have loads of long takes in which nothing happens and no-one says or does anything. I don't see the point of them... Any time your 90 minute movie could be edited down to a 20 minute short without losing any of the plot whatsoever, it just seems like it's been a wasteful exercise. I think a lot of it depends on the cache of Scarlett Johansen being the sexiest woman in the world and then making this movie where she's all naked and oddly sexless, but I've never really seen her in that sex symbol that way (I think you have to have watched Lost in Translation to think that, because I've never seen it, and everyone who has seen it is in love with her somehow). Although mentioning that does mean I can bring out the old "Sexiest woman in the World? She wasn't even the sexiest woman in Ghost World!" quote, which is the sort of thing some people feel really proud to think they thought of. Back to Under the Skin, she's driving around Glasgow meeting all these Scotsmen, and they all try to have consensual sex with her. The Czech guy doesn't really get around to it because he stops to save a life he can't save, but the only guy in the film with an English accent That's just pandering, just pointlessly feeding Scottish bigotry towards their Southern neighbours. You expect that shit from Mel Gibson, you don't expect it from bloody 'I make Radiohead videos' Glazer. Apparently loads of critics gave it five out of five and said it was the best film of 2014. But really, at the end of the day, it's shit, isn't it?

There's also a kickstarter for a joint Lemmy & Slash statue in Stoke on Trent (England. They're both from there originally), and for a new element on the periodic table to be called "Lemmium".

So in other words, you're trying to make fantasy booking the forum a thing? I can see it now, people encouraging banned posters to make comebacks and suggesting invading another forum. Lacelle complains about fantasy booking, and it leads to someone saying banned posters should be encouraged to make comebacks? Isn't that ironic? Don't you think? A little?

Styles make fights, and Tate's basic ground and pound style is on paper one of the best ways to counter a technical striker. But from a UFC company standpoint, Holm winning by KO is best f'r biz. McGregor vs RDA is happening? Bet that doesn't go to decision.

For copyright reasons, they'd have to spell it 'Clurbe'.

And 90 minutes into the livestream, Foz wins his first Rocket League match!

The thing about every character in Star Wars episodes 1-3 is

I don't see them using a Gary Glitter song. The UK tabloids would be in uproar about the idea of giving publicity & publishing money to their favourite pariah (he's a convicted paedophile, in jail for 16 years). Do they still play Rock n Roll part 2 at American sports games? Someone should tell them to stop doing that.
