    One day? It started before SummerSlam and more/or less been on a slow burn since then. The Wyatt thing was a bit sidetrack but it's been a pretty steady narrative since then.

     

    Until a month ago, the match was Punk-v-Hunter. It hasn't been a slow burn, it had been bypassed entirely. 

     

    And I felt that the whole Punk vs HHH thing seemed like it was gonna interrupt the obvious long term story they'd been telling that was Bryan vs HHH. HHH has been screwing over Bryan since Summerslam and suddenly it's gonna be Punk vs HHH? That's what didn't make sense.

  2. I just watched "Primary Colors" for the first time in years. Man, I forgot just how great it was. Travolta is so good, probably the best role he's ever had, and he's almost outshined by the supporting cast from heaven. Emma Thompson, Billy Bob Thornton, Kathy fucking Bates, Maura Tierney, Larry Hagman, Diane Ladd, Allison Janney, Robert Klein, Tony Shaloub, and Adrian Lester as the young unknown who's the center of the film.

    Rick Rude went from pretty meh in the ring to pretty badass in a fairly short amount of time in my opinion. I don't remember him being much of anything when he was in World Class or NWA and the first few months of his WWF stint. Then in 1988, he got damn good.

    I'm in the "Rude was always awesome" camp myself..

    Yeah, he was decent in Florida and Memphis, better in World Class, and half of the greatest team ever in Crockett.

     

    You've heard the story of Manny getting frustrated with Rude over the fact Rude was making him do all the work, right?

     

    Oh yeah. But when I was 16 I didn't notice, nor give a shit. And therefore my feelings stand. Ravishing and Raging were the best.

  5. Comic fans couldn't handle Superman breaking Zod's neck. Could the world's inhaler manufacturers cover a crisis caused by people being shot in a Guardians movie?

    Apples, oranges.

    Comic book fans couldn't handle Superman breaking Zod's neck because Superman isn't supposed to kill people, not because they can't handle violence. Rocket has a machine gun. I look forward to the blatant shedding of Kree blood.

    .

    Well, not Kree, because the Kree are part of Fox's Fantastic Four license, but I get your point.
    Where are you getting that from? Are you sure you're not thinking of the Skrulls?
    IGN's Rewind Theater on the trailer. Ronan and Korvath are not Kree in this movie for that reason.

    That makes no sense. The Kree don't have a strong tie to the FF outside of the Inhumans which Marvel does have the rights to.
    Does it have anything to do with the Kree first appearing in FF comics?
  6. I do see shades of HHH/Orton from 2009, though. Hate filled feud, blow off match should have reflected that... but they had to do it within the confines of a singles match at WrestleMania.

    .

    I just watched the HHH DVD doc and he talks about how that match flopped. A hate fueled angle that led to a match with the stip that made them have to wrestle a straight match that should have been a brawling riot.
