Bowens and Caster were definitely a "sum is greater than the parts" team. Caster's loser streak continuing and Bowens not being able to find his place in the singles scene is good enough cause for them to get back together, as long as they don't bring Gunn along and ditch the scissoring and other bullshit comedy. Them getting back together, going on a hot streak, and being challengers to The Hurt Syndicate wouldn't be the worst way to go.

Hell yes. The Flanderization of the Acclaimed, by way of adding Billy Gunn as their mascot, was a fucking crime. The were fun and a little edgy, and then got turned into a one-note goofball act. They went from "we're smart ass pricks who are going to rap some mean shit at you, talk shit, and then beat you up" to "we're going to do our catchphrase ad nauseam and gosh darn it we're gonna win those six man belts for Billy!"
The Gunn/Bowens bit from Collision was horrible, especially because Bowens was on the floor and it was shot from behind Gunn, making Gunn look even bigger and Bowens look like a child.
I'm sure Billy Gunn's a nice guy but he was the 4th most over member of a hot act 30 years ago and is old enough to be the Acclaimed's grandfather. Making him the focus of their act was such a bad move.

It started off as WWE's idea to compete with the NFL on FOX morning show. So basically, they took constant shots at the NFL on FOX show and even made some (really lame and awful) skits centering around it being this dumb jock show etc. Unfortunately, WWE didn't have the hindsight that it would still be popular more than THIRTY YEARS LATER.
That's Vince for you. The man is a lunatic and sincerely believed his product was better than anything out there, including the top drawing sport in the country. "We have Santino!" He took up permanent residence in the WWF/E bubble and probably got his mail delivered there.

Absolutely! Flair/Garvin had some excellent, brutal matches. It was just that Garvin was in that mid-level Flair challenger group where you know you'd get a good match but none of those guys were at Flair's level in the kayfabe hierarchy. Like Flair would defend against Ricky Morton and Road Warrior Hawk on Bash tours but you knew they weren't going to win the belt. That's the level Garvin was at...but then he won the belt. Also, as you mentioned, the "going on a three month sabbatical to train for the rematch" was a dumb move and also not a good story for a babyface.

It's 1995 and a young Jay Reso is practicing flat back bumps with Ron Hutchison in a run down gym in Kitchener, Ontario. He gets a strange feeling and, for reasons he doesn't yet understand, realizes a deep desire for kinship with, and possibly to even mentor, Carl Oulette. It makes no sense to him then, but it will eventually.

@Technico Support Where is your weight at currently? Do you feel like the shed pounds have improved your cardio further? I mean I remember you telling that your cardio has always been on a good level despite being a big guy!
I ran without the weight vest last weekend and it felt like cheating !
Thanks for asking! Currently at 226 and change, down from around 310 about two years ago. I'm sure dropping the weight has helped, but this weather hasn't! It's been so hot and sunny (high 80s/low 90s) that it just wears me out and I'm lucky if I can get six miles (trying to find shadier routes definitely helps). But I had two recent days that were cloudier and cooler and I was able to go 10 miles each day -- contrast that with the fact that I've only done 10 twice before that and that was like a year-ish apart. So I guess increasing the long run frequency means I'm getting in better shape.

Haven't heard about it, but he seems rather small and she seems rather large? Even though it's only a four inch size difference, according to Wiki. Anyway, none of my business, and happy for them.
Death by snu snu or by power bomb off a building, whichever comes first.

Watching Double or Nothing 2020…Brodie Lee just hit Mox with a palm strike and JR starts talking seemingly out of nowhere about how Asian wrestlers are good at palm strikes…….did he think Brodie was Asian due to his kayfabe last name? Jesus.

Lashley looks like he's having a ball. And, for the record, he let by choice. If he really wanted to be there he would be.
Lashley giving AR Fox a thumbs up at ringside after Fox hit the Lo Mein Rain was hilarious. After working first for Vince and then for a soulless corporation, I can definitely see how he’d find AEW to be pretty great.
People who criticize TK, or any boss, for being “too nice,” are mentally ill. Thinking kindness is a negative is sociopathic. Needing a domineering lunatic to tell you what to do and treat you as less than in order to keep you in line just means you’re not a responsible adult and probably have daddy issues.

it looked like CM Punk loved working for Tony Khan. And Ricky Saints probably loved it as well at one point.
Both guys come across as carny malcontents. Better examples of this would be nice, though I agree with @username’s assessment that “I like my boss (who signs my checks)” is a flawed metric.

Hey yo, this week's workouts:
Sunday: ran 6 miles outside
Monday: ran 5 miles outside (was shooting for 6 but it was HOT)
Tuesday: half hour of lifting (chest, shoulders, triceps), 4 mile run outside
Wednesday: 7 mile run outside
Today: 5.25 mile run outside, half hour lifting (back, biceps, legs, core)
Taking tomorrow off for the holiday, Saturday off for my normal rest day, then back to the grind Sunday.

Hangman not winning the belt after this build is some Starrcade 97 shit and I have to believe TK is smarter than that.

Dave said that they're doing Hurt Syndicate vs JetSpeed vs Christian and Nick Wayne for the belts and holy shit losing the belts without actually getting pinned would be a) some WWE bullshit and b) exactly what I expect with how Hurt Syndicate has been booked and conducts themselves.

I wish my iPhone could screenshot streaming services. They had that promo shot of Superman on the barricade where he's standing with his arms crossed. In some matches, they'd shoot low from the floor, across the ring, and you'd just see the top of Superman's head. It looked like some weirdo peeking over the apron. Freaked me out.

WWE already has Joe Hendry and Mr. Iguana; I think they've hit their quota for meme wrestlers.

Steiner/Harts was really good, but I think I beat my record for the number of times I said JESUS CHRIST GORILLA SHUT THE FUCK UP in one match.

Yeah, I was about to recommend the Amazon Prime series to @Andrew POE! It's not five star art but it's certainly above average and really fun. Nails the feel of the books.

I don't even know what "Virtuosa" is supposed to mean. Like is the whole gimmick "I'm smart and really good at wrestling?" Because that's some two decades ago e-fed shit. It's All Elite Wrestling. Being good at wrestling is supposed to be everyone on the roster's baseline. Unless you're literally the best wrestler in the world or top 3ish, you seriously cannot make "really good wrestler" your whole thing. Deeb is flopping for the same reason.

There's a match between the Dream Team and Ricky Steamboat and Tito Santana in 1985 that was marvelous.
Holy shit that sounds awesome.
I wrote this in the Peacock or Netflix thread, but if we're talking Steiners vs babyface superteams, Steiners vs Sting & Luger from whatever Superbrawl that was was an awesome match. I love face vs face matches that eventually break down as guys lose their cool, and that's what the match was. It was a little sloppy but you can kayfabe it by attributing it to the teams slowly getting more irritated and chippy. Just a fun match.

This past weekend's beer: finished off the last can of the Sierra Nevada lager, and then moved to Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA. Somehow Sierra Nevada stays inflation-proof at 10.99 a six pack while everything else is going up. I'm sure the independently-owned stores near me sell it for a few bucks higher...big win for my local county-owned stores. Torpedo is 7.2% alcohol and really a can't miss beer if you like IPAs, just really flavorful.

2025 Movie Discussion Thread
in MOVIES & TV
Posted · Edited by Technico Support
Following up on the "too much shit before the movie" discussion from a few weeks ago...I went to the movies over the weekend and here's how it went:
So all that took roughly 20 minutes. Add in the commercials running long and the feature presentation started around 23 minutes after its advertised start time.
