I do think not having similar interference finishes in a row helps

Finally saw the new Wes Anderson film and I can't decide if I liked it or not. Not much of a plot, and what is there just seems to provide a reason for the performances. Certainly his most experimental film yet. (Like when Douglas Adams wrote Dirk Gently' Holistic detective service as a novel with out a plot, or The Big Lebowski as a character study where the plot doesn't matter)

So I found the Sting v Vader match on Facebook of all places. Remember when you said Scott Hall was a large man who was great at working small? I'd say the same thing about Sting. Some of his best matches are working underneath against Vader and The Giant.

When me and my friend went to see Orville a while back we both remarked that he really seemed have gotten into working out

Yhea its bland if unoffensive pop

This showed up on the WCW vault so some thoughts. Opener is very Aughts TNA YMMV on this. I found it fun for what it was. Chavo v Rey was predictably excellent. I thought to myself "wrestling in overalls seems incredibly difficult" and then Rey proceeds to blow spots, I wonder if his choice in ring gear had something to do with it? Did he ever wear those things again? Wall v Hugh wasn't bad but made me wonder why this company was so head strong on pushing Hugh for so long? Thrillers explode was decent. These guys all seem solid but I don't know if any of them had a particularly high ceiling if this promotion stuck around. really surprised at how much I enjoyed the mic work of Totally Buff, and I was legit surprised and fooled by Mike Awesome's disguise, now I do question not blowing this off on a PPV. This felt like something that belonged on Nitro and I think not giving people definitive finishes on PPVs hurts overall as it says don't both paying. Now Cat/Storm, DDP/Kanyon & JJ, and Steiner/Nash where all a little too much sports entertainment for me. one of these matches would have been find but three off them just feels too Russo. great performance by DDP for sure. About the main event. I said in the Greed PPV that Nash in the tag teams division as an aging veteran was the best use of him. This is why. He obviously thinks he was a bigger star than he was. He never really had a great Main event singles run. to me he's like Jeff Jarrett a great buy for the top of the midcard in a tag team or a secondary champ. (Nash was better teaming with HBK or as IC champ that World Champ in WWF). He's no someone to build the company around

The OJ stuff was also largely pre internet, so him having a domestic violence incident wasn't going to go viral like today. A lot easier to hide in plane sight

The Sting - Cactus match is up on The Vault with Jesse Ventura's commentary intact. The version on The Greatest Hits and Misses DVD had only Foley and Coachman. I'm a fan of Jesse's WCW run working with either Ross or Tony. Jesse might be my favorite color commentator and I wonder what a Ross/Body team during the MNW might have sounded like (lets say if Lawler goes to prison). On the DVD Foley said this was his best match up until he wrestled HBK and Austin. As for the top rope rule Watts claims is that he banned top rope moves so that the heels could us it to get heat behind the refs back. Only problem with that is a top rope spot is a high spot (at least back in the day, now everyone just GTSI) so the faces should be doing those moves on their come back.

The Full Monty (I saw it once when it came out on VHS) is fine but kinda an odd choice for a best picture nom

Pulling a Bad News Brown at Survivor Series? nice

Jim Wilson talks a lot about it in his book Chokehold. I wrote up a review in the books thread

As I go back and read some these 96/97/98 reviews that I missed I want to respond to your comments about Chae

When I watch scrubs I like to pretend that Dr. Cox is the same character John C. McGinley plays in Platoon.

Wow they got a couple of skinny teenagers to impersonate Drew and Jinder for TLWEE

The Jericho Cruise does have a men's and women's Oceanic title

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqQYsJZlE3Q MOX v Jericho

See I know Hogan got the belt right back, so maybe I'm getting it confused with one of the other "title wasn't actually on the line" matches

Help me out with this. I remember JJ Dillon over turning Lex's Title win over Hogan because the paperwork was filed in time or something. Did Lex's title win count officially and I'm misremembering something?

yes Netflix has All Quiet On The Western Front
