  1. Starrcade '89: When Bullies Collide.
  2. Neither of these is from the source material. So they took the sidekick character from the books, sort of made him the protagonist, and turned it into another "chosen one" young adult fantasy? Amazing.
  3. Damn, you'd think someone who had to be mistaken for a dude at least a few times would be more sensitive to LGBTQ issues.
  4. Seriously, here's me reading that sentence: "HA! That's funny because he actually looks like..." "oh holy shit"
  5. Wow, file that under "things I did not expect to read today."
  6. She was just in Big Little Lies. I get the impression her talk about "not wanting to do TV" was really a polite way of expressing not wanting to do this TV specifically. PS not white knighting for Woodley, who I refer to internally as "Bobo Jlaw."
  7. "LOL" somehow isn't enough for this. Holy shit.
  8. Everything he does is for show. You genuinely want to give a guy some advice? Call him. Doing it in public via Twitter video is just performative bullshit.
  9. Ray Lewis To Colin Kaepernick: "What You Do Off The Field, Don’t Let Too Many People Know" "Just your defense lawyer, but that's it, okay?" "Or if it's performative charity functions or bullshit preaching, that's cool, too." "Or 'support our troops' style glurge, that's fine." "Okay, basically anything except for the one specific thing you're protesting is a-ok." -Ravens fan for whom Lewis' shtick was old long before he retired
  10. So the history of WWE's foray into the UK is: Start hot with a tournament and big plans for TV, local touring, the works Meltzer tells the world the sky is falling and the UK scene will die off like the territories One TV special Hit a down period and realize this shit is too expensive to do Scale back to just the WWE UK champion defending on UK indies Title is eventually forgotten and never mentioned again outside of DVDVR posts a few years from now, "remember when WWE created a UK promotion? Or did I imagine that?" Business really is "out of sight, out of mind" and I always figured, economic downturn or not, that Vince would lose interest in a far-flung territory.
  11. At first, Brock's like, "I'm not touching that." Then he remembers he's worked on a farm and has seen worse.
  12. I finally quit on Prichard's show this morning -- stopped it and deleted it from my phone -- for this very reason. Here's the threadbare formula of the show: 3-4 minutes of advertisements Defensive bitching and/or clarifications from last week Conrad reads the Observer's coverage of whatever their topic is Interspersed with Bruce shitting on Meltzer (as you said, it's just a gimmick at this point, and a very annoying one) and being overly defensive of WWF/E because all the boys are marks for New York deep down and are desperate to get back there, despite what they all say More LONG ad breaks Rinse, repeat I gave up while listening to their review of Fully Loaded 98, where two or three matches in a row were derided by Meltzer, so Prichard trotted out the same old song and dance in reaction each time. It's just old at this point. I also can't stand the intellectually-dishonest defense of, "insert critic here could never do this job so he has no right to criticize," which Prichard pulls out regularly. This was a good show when it started but now they're just lazily falling back on the gimmicks they're known for and nothing else. Seriously, if the whole show is just becoming "Conrad trolls Bruce for the easy reaction," I'd rather just skip this tired shit.
  13. Working my way through Man on the Silver Mountain...Keith Lee vs Lio Rush was GREAT.
  14. I use Caliv6 red revisited and see two issues: https://s1.postimg.org/w4vfuaj8v/DVDVR.jpg There's an invisible link to the main board page at the top, but it's always been that way The thread starter's avatar and some thread header text is misaligned. Wait, I just double checked...everything on the left is misaligned and weird. Also, does posting images by just pasting the link no longer work or is postimage.org being goofy?
  15. His head? Shit, he's lucky he didn't re-break that arm. It had just finally healed the week before.
  16. Yes but that shot is actually the Reseda American Legion hall.
  17. I'm not going to get into politics, but this is pretty good Just needs a Bobby Heenan drop, "but whose side is he on?!"
  18. A+ psychology by Arn, understanding "you can just graze nuts and the man would be fucked up."
  19. It's why lifelong jobber Johnny Rodz trained more guys than Ric Flair
  20. "Nobody cared who I was until I put on the mask"
  21. Punisher: War Zone is amazing. When Castle blows up a member of a parkour gang with a RPG, you know your time is being well spent. Check out the HDTGM podcast on it, too.
  22. So is Flair just working throughout this ESPN feature? I ask because he doesn't strike me as a guy with the kind of depth and self-awareness to actually realize and admit how bad being "Ric Flair" fucked his life up.
  23. I'd recognize the home of PWG anywhere
