So I turn on the TV and the original Karate Kid is on and it's at the scene where Miyagi gets drunk and breaks down over the revelation of how his wife and son died, and how he treats Daniel like the son he lost. Then just before the tournament, he pretends he doesn't speak English and then goes welcome at the end. It's such a great performance, in just had to come and mention it.

I don't know if anyone follows Scott Hudson on Facebook but he's been posting funny memories of Gene including this one:
GENE STORY: REVIEW OF GARY CAPPETTA'S BOOK NOTE: I have a lot, A LOT, of respect for Gary Cappetta. Sorry Gary. The announcing crew had our own dressing room at Nitros and PPVs. Tony, Mike, Mark, Penzer, DJ Ran, Buffer, Gene - we shared one space and spent almost the entire time cracking each other up. One night, we were all there prepping for the show and talking about former WCW ring announcer Gary Cappetta's book, "Memoirs of a Pitchman." Gene wanders in, fashionably late. I believe it was David Penzer that announced to Gene, "Hey Gene! Cappetta wrote a book. It's called "Memoirs of a Pitchman." Gene, with his suit bag still slung over his shoulder, lowered his sunglasses and mused, "Pitchman?! Cappetta couldn't sell a sick whore a bean sandwich!" We all collapsed (even though none of us had any idea what the hell he was talking about). Miss you, Gene.

TNA seems to have given up on "controlling" their workers. Hell, TNA seems more inclined to go out of their way to work with well-established indies. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to share a Commodore Ballroom show with ECCW at some point and get the whole thing on Twitch.
This may be it, because he just worked Luke Hawx at the Wildkat show in Louisiana on Christmas Day.

No one went to see Aquaman?
I guess you missed my post on the last page lol

I enjoyed Aquaman. No spoilers I thought it was really good. I loved Black Manta in the little we got to see of him

So apparantly DJ Durkin has been working at Bama as a consultant. I'm a Bama fan but I don't agree with this decision

I know some people are curious what gifts the bowls will be giving this year. Here you go.

Pete Thamel is reporting Urban Meyer is retiring after the Rose Bowl and Ryan Day will take over afterwards

Reports coming out Louisville has hired App St Coach Scott Satterfield as its next head coach
-
There was supposed to have been a sequel to that but I don't believe it got made, or it was a straight to video.
I do agree with your sentiment in that its interesting more than good. I still like watching it every now and then on HD-DVD

This is your annual-ish reminder of how much it sucks that Valiant sold their rights off piecemeal to a half dozen companies that will never ever actually release a show or movie.
Reminds me of the time back in the 90's we would get a lot of these announcements about Rob Liefeld selling the rights to many of his properties and none of them ever got made, even that Youngblood cartoon

Been watching the Netflix documentary series Dogs. It wasnt what I thought it would be, I'm not feeling it 2 episodes in. I'm not sure what I was expecting, maybe more about the dogs instead of the people I guess

Rumours are Gus Malzhan's seat is so hot some are looking for a way to buy him out and possibly bring in Bob Stoops at Auburn.

Sorry Dolfan

In case anyone is interested Fathom Events is doing a Death/Return of Superman double feature in theaters. My theater is doing it and I think I'm gonna go. With that and the Broly movie later on. That's a big week for me

Anyone watch ACTION Wrestling on Powerbomb.tv? Man I like that ACTION Wrestling that is some good wrestling content.
Didn't watch on powerbomb but I was sent a youtube link to a sample match. It was good.

Apparently it was a punter who was the whistleblower at Maryland. And some pro-Durkin players intentionally injured him at practice

Halloween yesterday had me thinking of movies I watched once and had no need to see again, Irreversable is one of those. A few years back here someone mentioned an indie movie called The Bunny Game. Anyone ever watch that one? From the trailer it looks like another one of those types but I still have a morbid curiosity about it.

That's probably the best choice Craig. If you were haunted during Kids you're going to be having nightmares watching Irreversible. It haunted me after watching it once. I had to stop watching those types of movies after A Serbian Film

Maybe it's the older man in me but it was the little touches that the remake didnt have. I saw it as a kid as well and really didnt get it. I just saw a kid overcome through Karate and it made me want to learn it. But seeing it with my older eyes I do appreciate it more from Miyagi's perspective
