There was a big show in '07 or '08 that had a much-hyped Danielson/McGuinness match on it that I couldn't wait to see. Then my dvd comes in the mail and the hard cam is totally out of focus for the entire match (maybe the whole show, I don't remember). I was so pissed. How hard is it to get a fucking in-focus shot?

******1/2 COTY

“You know all that power you got now? That’s a lot of fuckin’ responsibility, ya little prick!”

Candice and Johnny are adults who go to Disneyworld without children. They're already heels in my book.

It gets a two, then the person who did the move (which has never won them a match) sits there with their mouth open, eyes wide in shock that it didn't get the pin. Every fucking match.

Kinda awesome that Cornette still talks for Bobby.

I’ve managed not to piss myself during two showings of this. Do I chance it for a third?

So, it appears EC3 isn’t happy? Could we go as far as to say he’s “EC3PO’d”?

What if they involved actual missiles?

Watched this last night. My two-year-old son was watching some of it with me. He likes to comment on the matches. Usually just, "Chop!", "Punch, punch!" or "He mean!" During this match, he turned to me two or three times and just said, "Crazy."

I've fallen out a couple different times. I started watching around WM 2, but fell off right around post-WM 6 time. I honestly have no idea why. I think it just stopped being as popular with my friends, so I drifted away. I would see stuff here and there. I remember being shocked when I happened to see Ric Flair on WWF tv. I started to check back in somewhere around '95 or '96. One of the first things I remember seeing when I came back was British Bulldog's heel turn. I also happened to check in on Nitro when Scott Hall debuted. That brought me back big time. I watched WWF, WCW and started buying tapes of Japan and ECW. I fell off again around mid-2000. Again, I'd check in here and there. Weirdly, what brought me back was WWE starting to release dvds. Specifically, the Flair and Benoit ones. It was appealing to finally have stuff I'd had on shitty-VQ tapes in dvd quality. Since then, I've watched regularly, with my interest rising and falling at times. A couple of years ago, there ended up being a big group of wrestling fans at my job, so that kept me in it. Then my daughter got really into NXT, and that was fun to experience with her. Now, she's not as interested, the Saudi stuff leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and WWE is just flat-out not at all interesting. It's just so boring. Nothing matters. Nothing changes. I'm excited for AEW even though I'm not a big fan of a bunch of their guys. I like what they're doing so far, though, and I really enjoyed Double or Nothing. Really, right now, I'd rather look up old Andre the Giant matches on youtube more than anything. I'd like to think I'll always watch wrestling in some capacity.

I don't know. It seems like it'll be an over-long slog to sit through. That fits with the last few WMs.

Minimum.

I was telling a friend of mine that I think there's probably at lease a small reference to every single MCU movie in Endgame. That's impressive.

I’m out of the loop. Who’s the “NXT washout/domestic abuser”?

Gotta think that means movie's going to happen over a long time period/multiple time periods/dimentions.

I've always heard that pimpin' ain't easy, but these two are clearly proving that wrong. My whole world has been upended.

I totally agree with your sentiment, but wasn’t Funk famous for not working his punches? Like, he’d just punch you?

Man, Kobashi seems like a great dude. Probably not so much when he’s chopping you or dropping you on your head, but otherwise seems nice.

Combined age?

Surprised no one has posted this yet. Not sure if this is where the band got their name, but listen to that voiceover!

It’s a little thing, but I love that the official WWE tweet refers to him as “the” most recognizable announcer and not “one of the” most recognizable. Because it’s true. Mean Gene IS pro wrestling announcer to most people.

Well, Lana and Rusev are big Nashville people.
