AND it also explains why Warrior was always billed as hailing from Queens, NY in the Apter mags, even after he relocated to Parts Unknown.

That's awesome. Thanks! I always wondered why Gang had "MOON" on the side of his tights.

I was thinking the same thing! Like, on Earth, sure, Tony or Cap would tell someone what happened, and then the information would be disseminated. But on some shit planet like Jakku? They'd be absolutely clueless.

Claire Danes has said she's done after next season and the showrunner has said it's likely that season 8 is it. So, 90% chance it's done? And I agree: awesome season.

LOL saw this online, figured I'd put it here

They'll have to restrain Vince during the prayer break, lest he perform a hilarious~! bit where he challenges Allah to a match.

I absolutely forgot Torres was in Westworld. Now that you mention it, yeah. She was Bernard's "wife."

I was going to make a Zach Gowan joke but alas

Now I'm just trying to figure out who the Rob Liefeld of wrestling is and all I can come up with is jokes about pouches and a lack of feet.

Lawler would be the expert on giving young women payoffs

It's really slow right now

All I know is I was trying to watch Will Ospreay vs Liger in NJPW, when Osprey missed a flippy-doo and landed of his feet, then started selling like he'd blown his knee out. Then he did a Sasuke Special less than a minute later. Liger's a legend and Ospreay is apparently getting more credit nowadays, but that' just shit. This is all apropos of nothing except to say that I guess we all have our lines where we say "yeah, this is good wrestling and this isn't." And those lines are flexible.

Come on, @Craig H, that's Grandma from Get Out

Ah, thanks for all that. Jesus, this whole thing is depressing.

If "getting the most out of the least" is the metric for good wrestling vs bad wrestling, then Sid was the greatest wrestler in the world.

Everything HHH said is corporate drone doublespeak bullshit. No, you absolutely do not need to be tolerant of an intolerant system because "hey man, it's just a different culture." Fuck all that. If that were true, blacks would still be confined to the nosebleed seats in Memphis. "Hey, the south is just a different culture and if they see blacks as subhumnan, who am I to judge?" I made the reference earlier, but this is like if they'd have run a show in apartheid South Africa in the 80s. I guess I shouldn't expect better of a dude rocking the iron cross. Not saying HHH is a bigot, just saying the dude is a) blinded by cash and b) ignorant. "You have to change the system from the inside" is the battle cry of zero-integrity sellouts everywhere and always has been. Call a spade a spade: they are running a show in a misogynist hellhole built on human rights abuses, and they're holding their nose and looking the other way because their greed is boundless. Vince will be dead in the next decade, has all the money he'll ever need, and his family is likely set for life as well, but they still want more. It's disgusting.

LOOOL "Allow me to exfoliate my colon..." I also like him mentioning his incredible mentors over the years. Like LayCool.

Is this origin change as dumb as Darren Aranofsky's proposed Batman: Year One? No, but it's close

So the only valid form of pro wrestling is that in which the workers are getting the most reaction out of the least amount of effort? Is there an acceptable ratio written down someplace? I'm more in line with @thee Reverend Axl Future. Maybe sometimes, this "efficient ratio" style is fun to watch, and sometimes I just want to see some guys go balls to the wall. Who cares? Wrestling is a continuum with plenty of middle ground between "50s style wrestling with old guys rolling around in their drawers doing nothing" and "bad workers doing painful stuff to each other that doesn't even look good."

Hardy's accent sounds like he extensively studied Method Man and Michael Rappaort.

They actually had the balls to just go ahead and do a time jump and synchronize both shows' timelines. I haven't watched episode 2 of FTWD yet but ep 1 starts right where the TWD finale left off. Morgan is living in the junkyard for a bit. Jesus, Carol, and Rick stop by to talk him into coming back, then he just leaves. There's a montage of him wandering -- walking, running, hotwiring cars, etc -- next thing you know, he's in Texas. The whole first episode is just Morgan and two other new characters, and they meet the FTWD cast at the very end. It's literally a bridge episode and not an actual episode of FTWD. I guess this season will catch us up on what happened to the FTWD cast in the interim, but it's pretty ridiculous. Obviously, the call to make this a soft reboot was made in order to get more TWD viewers watching this show. I actually find FTWD less tedious than the original show, with some decent human drama instead of TWD's "let's change a character's whole outlook based on whatever the plot needs" bullshit that they do several times each season.

I watched Insidious: The Last Key over the weekend and it was not good at all. I enjoyed the previous three but this one was just bad. Dull plot, not scary at all, and some of the acting was on par with The Room. Any expository, "not horror" scene where two human beings are talking to each other in broad daylight feels like it was shot in one take with half a script by aliens in human bodies who had never actually had human interaction before. Just so awkward and bizarre. There were two fun little fakeouts where the person you think is a ghost actually isn't, and a quick, neat tie-in to the first film (because this is a prequel), but really not much else and nothing I'd recommend unless you're a completist or masochist. It's funny how Blumhouse fell ass-backwards into respectability with Get Out. They're going to preface all their horror schlock -- whether good, bad, or dirt-worst -- with "from the studio that brought you Get Out" until the end of time.

Apparently, he's the same person who worked as "Big Van Walter" some time ago. I wrote him off back then, assuming he was one of those subpar German wrestling tribute acts like "Legend of Doom." He's been okay in PWG so far; I liked his matches against Ricochet and Sabre but didn't see him as a guy you'd put the belt on this soon. PWG (and bigger indies in general) is in a weird spot right now. WWE is so much more in tune with who the talented indy guys are, so anyone who is any good and who is championship material gets signed right away. That's how you get Chuck Taylor (and I love Chuck's work but even he was incredulous about being the champion) and WALTER as your top guys.

Good start to the season. It looks like they're going to be a little less cute with the timelines. So far it's just "right after the robot uprising" and "a week or so later." Then again, the trailers also show young Man in Black, too, so who knows?

LOL Why dies Tully have a pentagram on his chest?
