  1. I think that tends to slowly start as soon as you sign with TNA.

  2. This is my first time doing one of these for any board, so this may be a little different than what others have done. We had 13 ballots submitted to make up 284 films (there's a technicality here that will show itself very late in the reveals list. I went back and fourth on the number of films before resting on starting this countdown at #110 for a couple of reasons. 1) 110 is a nice number when considering the decade tie-in. 2) The first film that will be shown in the countdown is one that caused great debate on this board (and honestly, everywhere) after its release. I did allow for ties on this list. I broke any ties where a film received more votes. (Due to the low volume of ballots, I decided vote volume should supersede point averages in a tie). 97 movies hit 100 movies also hit the 100 point threshold. I also tried a couple of different point variables, and it did not shuffle my top too drastically, so the formula is straight forward. Each vote was a descending scale of 2 points with #1 vote getting 100 points.

  3. It's bad to know that having an opinion can still be shat on without contributing to the discussion. All the stuff that's talked about on here, and this is the topic you choose to pick on.

  4. It's good to know that DVDVR has so many MBAs that could step in if WWE ever decides they need a marketing department.

  5. I don't know how to post the link from Deadspin but apparently in a lawsuit over Sandusky witnesses said JoePa knew about him being a kid toucher/sexual predator as early as 1976. If this is indeed the case they should take that fucking statue out of storage and melt it down into urinals so people can literally piss all over it.

  7. IMO, you can't look at what they're doing and not think they could do more. Simple things could do a lot toward investing in the future and gaining new fans. If they can develop a rolling ring truck for a few of their guys, how hard can it be to consider putting together a Big Sister-type Bayley doll? Make a few and see where they go. If they don't sell, give them to some children's charities with Bayley handing them out in person. You're a PG company, develop some PG friendly merchandise for the kids. How hard can it be to have a new coloring book with current stars printed and sold in Dollar General stores? And this is just stuff that some of us have put out there during our coffee breaks. Pull some stars into a brainstorming session and I bet they'd come up with some cool stuff. New Day got over something that doubles as a sex toy, for crying out loud. Invest in the roster and make money while doing it.

  8. They buy everything at wholesale prices. Even if they put the t-shirts on sale for $10 to clear them out, they turn a profit. If it still doesn't sell, ship them to whatever country thinks the Buffalo Bills are 4-time NFL world champions and get a tax write-off.

  9. There is simply no excuse not to have a t-shirt for every person on the roster. You know when Cena and Rollins come back, they're going to be swimming in new ones. And granted, Cena needs 10,000 tees to satisfy demand. But they can't throw in an order for 1,000 for Sandow? Come on. How they keep ignoring Tyler Breeze's selfie stick is ridiculous. Make that sucker for $3.00, sell it for $15.00. There are so many inexpensive items they could do. Have some sports/water bottles with the WWE logo slapped on them at least, yeesh!

  10. I love Ty Dillinger so much. Works the hell out of his gimmick, makes guys look like a million bucks, yet I buy him as a credible threat. And The Revival, those guys get it. Folks complain there are no heels in wrestling anymore; well, there isn't a damn thing likable about The Revival, and I love it. I don't love the Full Sail crowd. Starting to feel too much like mid-2000s Impact Zone.

  11. If "senile Vince" thinks Ryback is Punk with an extra 100 pounds of muscle, does he think Batista lost 100 and became Austin Aries?

  12. Our first and probably only film post this evening will be all honorable mention films that received a vote but did not make the top 110 films countdown.

  13. I can't be the only person who wants TNA to bring Ryback in as "Ryfront", can I?

  14. Some team also tried the Pierre McGuire method, too. That netted them a 23-37 record and a captain saying their coach getting fired was the best thing ever. It also netted them an ex-coach who gave confidential scouting reports to another team (say bye bye to half that salary, Pierre!)

  15. Did you wear a Heros of Wrestling tshirt in a porno by chance? I swear I have seen this. In terms of marketing, how is the WWE not leaving lots of money on the table considering they only seem to market toys, tshirts, and dvds mainly? Just sounds like they aren't even tapping into all the possibilities. Maybe all the over merchandising in the 90's has lead to this core model.

  16. Since I wore my Ultimo Guerrero mask while at the show had a bunch of kids ask me "Are you Sin Cara's cousin?" Told them "Nope I am Rey Jr's cousin. We don't claim Sin Cara anymore."

  18. And I get accused of reading too much into things. No one is saying that the ideas thrown out are full-proof. They could very well be flawed. If anything, we're shooting the breeze among ourselves, until the No Fun Bus came to DVDVR University, trying to spread the internet version of the clap. Luckily, Live Sex Celebration condoms provide up to 98% protection against STIs! And if they should fail, a F5 morning-after pill will finish off any potential of an unwanted pregnancy! Pretty sure the ZZ thing was a joke, too. (rides off on Kevin Nash's Big Diesel Wheels tricycle)

  19. Eric Young is the TNA refugee that I looked forward to the least. That being said, doesn't it feel disappointing that Styles, Joe, Roode, Aries and especially Sting wasted so much time down there?

  23. Thanks again for doing this, @Chaos. Respect. Looking at the honourable mentions, I voted for: Iron Man 3, Paul, Thor, The Wolverine, The Town, Superman vs. The Elite, The Hunger Games, Easy A, Man of Steel, Thor: The Dark World, The King’s Speech, Batman: Year One, Everything or Nothing: The Untold Story of 007, Night Will Fall and Ted. I'm surprised Thor: The Dark World got more votes/is higher than Thor because Thor's the better of the two IMHO. I originally forgot Easy A but I was able to send an amended ballot to Chaos. Night Will Fall is a documentary that tells and shows footage from a documentary in 1945 about liberated concentration camps. The footage from 1945 is shelved and has only recently been shown in this film. Said footage/film is horrific. Such evil on our fellow man/woman.

  24. After another middlin' day in Los Santos, Roast hit the scene and we laid the smacketh down on two candyasses out by the O'Neil's farm. They weren't working together, which was about their only hope. One caught a case of the limbertail and headed back to town, while the other took a good old-fashioned DVDR asskicking until I saw him hit that pause menu, killed him again for his trouble, and he disappeared. I had to split after that - I'd been saying for probably the last hour "this is the last thing I do, and then I'm gonna go," when Roast invited me to a Capture, which is Roast-speak for "I need this for my daily objectives." You can't imagine how much I hate captures. I did the bus one earlier in the day with some random 'cause I figured he needed it for his daily objectives, and he kept shooting me as I was bringing him buses. I think he finally caught on around bus 4 that I was helping him, and he quit shooting. Roast played one with "zombies," and I thought "this'll be fun," and it was better than usual - the "zombies" were the typical "shitdick" talking O'Neil brother types, except they were decked out in clown suits and carrying knives. It still couldn't end quickly enough. Odd day besides that - did a lot of VIPing, which is fun, but I still don't have the rhythm of "calling my spots," giving the bodyguards fun work to do spaced out in decent intervals. I did play one tense-as-hell "find the VIP," or whatever it's called, where I was JUST about to get got when the time expired. One guy would breach my bodyguards' perimeter and I'd pop up from my hiding place (a drained swimming pool) and shoot him, since I was off the radar and all. I like the ones where you have to go fetch the briefcase and bring it somewhere. You can do those solo with no bodyguards, in a room by yourself (at least I think so - there was one other guy in the room when I started, but he left). There's one at the altruists' camp that's easy if you have a Kuruma, one at the Merriweather outpost where stocks and scares is held (quite a bit trickier, but doable), one at the airport (cops swarm, difficult, probably OK with a Kuruma) and one at Fort Zancudo (haven't tried it yet, don't wanna know). There's another absolutely psychotic one where you have to steal sports cars from a police station and take them to a drop-off point. Just a butt-ton of cops, and the game dares other players to shut you down, so it gets hairy when there's 10,000 cops, a guy in a jet and a guy in a buzzard bearing down on you. All they gotta do is destroy the cars and it's over. And when you get near the dropoff, you gotta lose (usually) a four-star wanted level before you can drop off the cars. It's amazing to me how often crazy shit happens in this game and I think "man, would this make a great action scene in a movie." I usually plow into a room and invite everyone in the room to be my bodyguard - since you can only have three, it makes for an interesting roll of the dice. You get quite a few people who don't participate in the activity at all, just leech the free money that comes from "bodyguarding" me. Some are serious about it and are damn good at what they do. One today shocked me - he was a Level 65, so I wasn't expecting much, and he was the star of the show in that Executive Search - he kept several people at bay. It's weird that you can feel proud of strangers. I feel like a football coach or something. I do wish we could communicate better, but I'm not getting in no game chat with no 13-year-olds, sorry. I'd prefer them to just be silent killers for Big Daddy.

  29. I would be happy as can be if you all were cool with a Rusev/Kevin Owens tribute thread. Both are absolute gold in what they do. Now a more feasible option would be the social media thread similar to what we had in the old board. An example of not only why said thread would be great but why Rusev rules:
