You should because it's better than Goodfellas. Just fast forward through the scenes with coked up Sharon Stone and when Sam has a late night talk show.

Cheers, mate.

On the subject of Goodfellas/Casino, the "funny, how?" scene in the former. Was that adlibbed by Joe Pesci?

I haven't seen a lot of Martin Scorsese films but I prefer Raging Bull to Goodfellas.

BUT THERE ARE NO FAST FORWARD SCENES IN GOODFELLAS.

GOODFELLAS BEST.

THE END.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I'd fast forward through the shit when they're in prison and most Edie Falco scenes.

EDIT: Except when Edie Falco is also high as fuck towards the back half of the movie. No fast forwarding through that.

WrestleMania logos through the years. Fuck Vince McMahon for removing the numbers particularly the Roman ones. Celebrate that history. My favourites are WrestleMania, WrestleMania X, WrestleMania X-Seven, WrestleMania XIX, WrestleMania XX, WrestleMania XXIV and WrestleMania XXX.

Scorcese is one of those directors you'd never dare ad lib in front of.  The point of the scene is to show that Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci) is a very scary psycho who they're all clearly afraid of. It's like if you were out walking and ran across a fox (since you're in Ingleterre).

You know it can be friendly so you may approach it or even like it.  But you can never, ever lose track of the fact that it is a wild animal who can and WILL bite if provoked.  And the fun part is, you'll never know what provokes it.

Back to Mania news, apparently the Hell in the Cell will go back to it's original color for the Balor-Edge match.

All for the Hell in a Cell going back to it's original colour. Thats colour spelt right btw ;).

Better still, bring back back the OG Hell in a Cell from October 1997-June 2005.  Still the best.

The number of people on Wrestling Twitter posting some variation of “I loved the Bloodline/Goodfellas parody. I’ve never even seen Goodfellas!” is really disheartening.

Wonder if Phil has seen Goodfellas.

I'm pretty sure Goodfellas is one of the most rewatched movies ever, that has to be Wrestling Bubble chatter.

People dismissed it as goodfellas part 2, but it is such a great movie. Highly recommended. 

It is a great movie but Goodfellas is a perfect movie.  That's the difference for me.  Plus, as good as Pesci is in Casino, he's better in Goodfellas (Won the Best Supporting Actor for Tommy), De Niro is terrifying and Ray Liotta is a better hang than psycho Sharon Stone.  Scorsese was stunting on the rest of Hollywood with Goodfellas.  The steadicam shot at the Copacabana is just wonderfully crafted.

So I'm just going by what Wiki says is the order from now on as the nerds over there can fight and bicker all day about it. 

Anywho.... happy anniversary to this:

Randy Orton's most memorable RKO ever. The Diamond Cutter/RKO is my favourite finisher of all time for how it can be hit outta nowhere Michael Cole (c). The execution was so perfect, Orton was so pumped he didn't pin Seth Rollins straight away. To me, WrestleMania XXXI is one of the best WrestleMania's ever mainly for the ***** main event between Brock Lesnar/Roman Reigns.

Daniel Bryan wins the WWE Intercontinental Championship in the hot opener, a multi man Ladder match including the late great Luke Harper/Mr. Brodie Lee. There's Rusev in THAT tank (what he did in it too. I love @NikoBaltimore story about he and his missus meeting TAFKA Miro last year. I love you, Nick). Having said all the good about WrestleMania XXXI, Triple H vs. Sting still pisses me off. Sting under contract to WWE, the guy who represented WCW never jumping ship vs. the poster figure of the WWE, the Undertaker who never left there. Instead Sting jobs and gets help from the nWo including fucking Hulk Hogan? Fuck that shit.

During an interview Becky did intimate or basically says she'd be wrestling on both nights.  

It'd make sense if they added a Women's Tag Title match on Sunday as a way to get the straps off the part timer.  (Lita too.)

Didn't realize it was this weekend!  Really haven't paid attention since Sami lost, and hadn't been paying attention to much before that either.  Anything to look forward to? Is this Edge's retirement match?

The Usos match and the main event are both good. Edge/Balor and Rey/Dom both have good story’s. Edge isn’t retiring until August in Toronto (or so he announced last year). 

Other than that it’s a good card with a lack of build for the most part.
