Just really lean... And then started playing villain roles in like a Guy Ritchie or a Tarantino or a Coen Brothers film. Something with snappy dialogue where his charisma can really pump up the volume on a scene. Make that happen Hollywood, and he'd go from overexposed to movie star again in a heartbeat. You articulated this much better than I did, but that's exactly the sort of thing I was thinking of when I said a 'smarmy' role - thank you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakk_Sabbath Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) @odessasteps Damn, that is kind of incredible to think about. I gave Toots a quick Wiki to find out what year he passed, and he broke in six years before my great grandmother was even born.

Not that it matters at all but I’ve always been amused by how much Dave hates him (I’m not a Dave hater and don’t care if someone has or doesn’t have the same opinions as me). But he just hates him so consistently. Low key mvp of the G1 every time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Log Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 When I first moved to Lousiville in '05, Mordecai and some other OVW guys (the Tolans and Daniel Pruder) lived in my apartment complex. In fact, we signed our lease with his then-fiance. One summer, a few days after 4th of July, some jackass was lighting off fireworks way too late in the evening. Mordecai's (sorry, can't recall his real name) fiance/wife/whatever went out to tell them to knock it off. I'm seeing this from my balcony on the second floor. The fireworks guy is drunk and starts giving her a hard time. Then Mordecai comes around the corner. Now, he wasn't a huge guy for a wrestler, but he's normal-people huge. The drunk guy shut up really quick and gathered up his fireworks and left. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be a very interesting test of how hot they are. Last time through the Bay Area they skipped chase, after doing tv tapings there the two previous times through Northern California, with crazy low attendance. Like 3k for raw and smackdown. Very curious how this one does. I’m gonna bring my boys to that show. Honestly thought it would start out stronger with how hot wwe is, but they are strong late movers and Cody will probably work his social media magic. I’m pretty certain that 3995 is their highest total because I remember the first time through when chase center was brand new the numbers for raw and smackdown were shockingly low. Kind of ashamed for the city lol. I’m pretty sure gcw is done with SF as well. Anyway I got my tickets in yet another attempt to get my boys into wrestling. I think this is my first wwe house show in 10 years and I’m looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me crazy, but doing the kind of numbers they were doing for a Raw coming out of pandemic restrictions two years ago seems pretty good for a house show that’s two months away.

My comments are more San Francisco related in general. First time through was before the pandemic and raw and smackdown did like 2500 in a brand new arena. They were very cold then of course, but that was super low. Thought this would be an interesting test of how hot they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it ends up with 7-8k easy, it just started real slow when tickets first went on sale. First week was probably only 2k sold. I’ve been waiting for wrestletix to do a post before I posted about it again. Advertised talent is Cody, Uso’s, Bianca, Rhea, and Seth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contentious C Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) Heyyyyyyy, yeah, so I never venture into this space anymore because, yeah, I have some complicated feelings about wrestling. How complicated? Well, it would make my year and a half of film mini-reviews in the Movies/TV forum look like the trivia blurb on the back of a baseball card. But, having said that, I know a lot of you are DC-adjacent, so I wondered if any of you had seen this group before - they might be the strangest indy I've seen that didn't have Kaiju... https://www.flyingvtheatre.com/wings/fights/doubledash/ It's right down the road from my place, and I'm still debating whether I'd go at all, because, well, if I'm going to drop $25 on something, I want it to be *good* and I have no idea if this would even be that. But, it seems none of the rest of you have a clue about it either, if the search function is to be believed. But hey, there's an indy show *tomorrow night* for cripes sake. Anyone else with an opinion?? Edited July 28, 2023 by Contentious C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
