  1. Man, I have no idea why I love that movie so much but I do. In fact I'm dying to watch it now. I feel like I've seen it dozens of times......it must have been one of those movies that ran a lot of HBO or Showtime or something. It was a great staple of the 80's that film. EDIT: On second thought I wanna remember happy Rae Dawn Chong film moments.
  2. The Rusev/Swagger feud should have kept going. But Vince has this mentality of "well they feuded for a ppv and a half...that's good enough" for the lower card guys. Rusev as United States Champion needs to happen. JBL losing his mind on commentary after the win would be one of the best tv moments ever. Only thing I would ask is his first appearence as champion needs to happen at The Barclays Center for a RAW. A vast majority of the crowd would be like from Brighton Beach so it would be all Pro Russian. It would be beautiful to behold as Putin gets a standing ovation in Brooklyn.
  3. I think there were shots at ali baba as well, at least by inference. . . Last week I was listening to the radio and some caller on the show I was listening to said "did you get your Alibaba buys in". I was like Alibaba...that can't be a real company. Anyway this episode was a great way to start the season. The funniest part had to be Butters being like "I'm not gonna get raped if I stay with you...am i?" The Goodell bot was pretty damn spot on. I can only imagine what they will do if they spoof the ALS bucket thing.
  4. Lance would have the hammer for the ring bell and he'd tell Barrett he might beat him down, but he'd get one good lick in before he did.
  5. Man all this talk about Hall getting a run as a World Champion, it should have happened after he won the WW3 battle royal. Yes I know Hogan was Hogan and Hall had his issues. But I think somewhere in between Superbrawl and say Slamboree it could have worked.
  6. I miss the days when a respected wrestling champion (Patterson/Bruno) would move on to color commentary. When I was a child, I was certain that when Hogan retired (funny I was thinking about this in 1987) he would eventually move on to become like Bruno and commentate on Superstars. Where's our new Gorilla Monsoon. A wrestler who can call the lead action. Get Kurt Angle some maroon colored suits and it could probably work. One thing though I wish they would change now is the whole "kayfabed injury" thing. It's supposedly the "reality era" so when a story like Dean Ambrose is going to film the new WWE studios movie is all over the internets on actual sites like Yahoo and Variety why come up with some dumb thing like the cinder blocks. If you have to come up with something, have them announce it and have Seth all jealous and he does a Nancy Karrigan deal and Kane club's Ambrose's knee. I mean from a violence stand point a pipe to the knee would probably be a lot less worse for the kiddies then seeing a guy get his face driven through a pile of bricks.
  7. I had no idea B-Boy was still wrestling. I know he came back from a retirement, but I hadn't heard anything about him in years so I assumed he was back to being retired. Also I'm really surprised Tim Donst hasn't gotten a shot in TNA or at least a WWE NXT deal yet.
  8. If they had him be like Ric Flair from the start, maybe the whole Figure Four thing would have worked. Bland babyface Miz absolutley killed him. Thank God for Damien Mizdow for breathing life into him again.
  9. I want to see Sting and Sting do a Roxxane duet.
  10. Great, now I'm picturing Kane as the WWE's Bing Crosby beating kids with a sack full of oranges.
  11. I skipped a lot of the show tonight. The opening with Ambrose was outstanding. The people are feeling it. Sweet Ambrosia is running wild over them. Cena being Cena and then Dean being all "this is my fight...i'll fight you too if you don't leave" was so awesome. Rollins is such a great chickenshit heel and the whole fight and him carjacking someone to get away from Ambrose was awesome. What was not awesome was them doing another Ambrose/Kane and Orton/Cena match. I like Corporate Kane and all, but God his matches now are so paint by numbers (I mean they always were but now more so). Damien Mizdow is amazing. I couldn't stop laughing when he had his stunt double title belt. It's a shame he wasn't cast in Marine 4 because hes a thousand times more entertaining than The Miz ever could be.
  12. Vince McMahon and Victor Newman have a LOT in common.
  13. It was doing pretty good with Barrett until Swagger injured him. I blame Swagger for this.
  14. I completely forgot about the most infuritating thing of the night at least for me. The WWE nuked their PPV bridge tonight. They ripped on anyone who doesn't have the network by basically saying "you must be a real idiot to be paying $54.95 for this". I bet the companies they haven't pissed off because of the network must have been thrilled when they did that and then they did it again later in the night. It's amazing how this company is run.
  15. The problem is, who realistically takes the belt off of Brock? Besides Cena, he's the only guy I can think of. Ambrose is WHITE HOT but I don't think you give him the belt right now. Hell, it took Steve Austin almost 2 years. Yeah, but that was the mid 90's and they were still using the old model of you have to slowly build someone up. They've shown in the last 15 years that they will speed through months of storylines in a couple of weeks. I have no doubt if someone can convince Vince that this Ambrose kid is the one to go with, he'll say fuck it and green light Dean in the main event. Of course if there is an active sabotage campaign against Ambrose by some in the WWE, then we're all screwed.
  16. You know why else a lot of us want to see Brock/Austin? Because the WWE hasn't done shit to build up anyone worthy of facing Brock. If Cena doesn't win tonight, then who is there to stop Brock? Answer: NO ONE. If they didn't dick around Cesaro after Wrestlemania with their stupid "well, we'll make you look like crap for a while just because we have to know you won't abandon us" loyalty tests and take Ambrose off television when he was getting red hot to film a movie there would at least be two viable challengers for Brock in the next couple of months before the Royal Rumble rolled around and it was a coin flip between Roman Reigns or Cena for them.
  17. I'm watching No Holds Barred on Blu ray and I never noticed until now that the first guy Stan Hansen beat up was Jos LeDuc. Did a match between the two ever happen anywhere (singles, tag or six man). Seems like it would have been a fun clubbering contest to watch.
  18. If they built it up where Brock was this unmerciful God who was just destroying everyone and The Authority couldn't control him, it would make perfect sense for them to beg Austin to do what needs to be done to end Brock's reign of terror. Austin has always said he needs three to four months to prepare for a match of a high quality. I mean there is zero chance this will happen for Wrestlemania 31, but Brock running down Austin for being a pussy on that night they were supposed to fight in 2002 would be all the storyline you would need for this thing. Just imagine the promos from Heyman when he says "Steve Austin fears one man...and that's Brock Lesnar and I can prove it...roll the video footage". Oh yeah, Cena probably will get his win back tomorrow night. Maybe he doesn't win the title, but he'll come out the winner.
  19. Crossface Chickenwing is my favorite submission. Dean Ambrose busted one out during a Shield match and it looked so crisp and sweet. His forward DDT is pretty good, but he could go full crazy Bob Backlund just locking guys in the chickenwing whild screaming gibberish at them.
  20. Great, now I'm picturing Lil Petey Pump's story about Steiner doing 90 down some small down street. 88 MILES PER HOUR. Weed is legal here in Colorado.Who's gonna be first guy to photoshop a blunt between his fingers? I'm sure if I wasnt rushing I could do better.
  21. Why can't a triple threat match with all 3 members of the Shield fighting it out for the World Heavyweight Championship be a dream match? because NWA in the 80s didn't have those kinds of matches!!! I bet there are nights where Dusty is like "Damn it to hell, if I heard about that dang ol triple threat I could have booked myself to beat Flair and Blanchard in the same match if you wheeeel".
  22. I don't see the fake Ziggler bit with Truth to be racist. Then again I wasn't really watching the match to begin with. The notion that Billy Gunn is there is perfect for Ziggler but people would think "wow Dolph is Billy's kid" and no one wants to make people think that Ziggler could be Billy's kid. He's got enough problems in the company. He doesn't need to be Billy Gunned like that.
  23. This now has to happen. Cameron repeatedly trying to pin people on their stomachs. I'd also be okay with her painting stars on her stomach. Probably best to leave Kim Chee and the spear and shield out of it, though. They had no problem with Seth doing a monkey pose tonight though. That was seriously a legit WTF from me when I was watching. This whole show was a big WTF. Between them doing the whole halftime thing (I mean it's the Eagles and Colts) to pander a ratings pop at a certain time to closing the show with that painful rah rah America thing. It's a shame it can't happen, but as I've said before if this were any other production on earth Vince would have been removed as the show runner a long time ago. Tonight was a prime example of why his vision of television is so bad. Nothing remotely in the show that was worth us watching other than Paul's "turn to the dark side" promo. Of course Cena and his damn moral ethics wouldn't allow for that. We the lowly television viewers are begging for something new and anyone they have that could be new they ruin (see Cesaro) or they just don't know what to do with them. I understand the WWE has to be so much more than a rasslin company. But if they just go back to the status quo of lolcenawins this sunday, they might as well just rebrand themselves as WCW.
  24. Man that Russ Davis (no kin of mine) was such a snarky asshole. I was laughing so hard when he was running down Haystacks for being a fat bastard. "A dozen eggs, a loaf of bread and a half pound of butter to feed him for breakfast". There needs to be more Bobby Davis in wrestling though. He was in the match for 30 seconds during the introductions and he looked like the kinda guy who could have started riots 30 years later in Atlanta.
