  1. Not a shocker at all but, man, Vince is really a dick.
  2. Really, never do anything in front of Vince that you wouldn't want to be your gimmick.
  3. King hates it and then, in 30 years, we get a Mick Garris TV remake.
  4. It was Vince's bump to take. She let go of him two feet from the ropes.
  5. I started watching Sense8 last night (I know it's been cancelled and will wrap up with a movie sometime next year). Has anyone here watched it and can you let me know if it gets any better? The first episode was all table-setting, no plot, and the LGBT content was so clumsily and forcefully executed it was downright laughable.
  6. I bought two PWG shirts from Highspots because they were sold out on their site back then. The 1% shirt was comfortable and really nice. The Revolucion shirt was the same but the logo wore off pretty quickly.
  7. I just watched the Young Bucks/Lucha Brothers match from Head Like a Cole. One of the Bucks kicks off the match by grabbing the mic and demanding the match stips get changed to a "Texas Tornado Spotfest." The Bucks are awesome.
  8. You can't snort meth off a digital download, you square
  9. Did I see Paul Sheer in Disaster Artist? Quite meta.
  10. Is this the lead-in to a WWE-films "Taken" spinoff?
  11. Every actor in big glasses and old man makeup looks like Johnny Knoxville to me
  12. It's like when you hit your shin on the coffee table Times a million
  13. So does the sequel assume the "Director's Cut" is canon or the Original Theatrical Release? ie is Deckard a replicant in this? Because fuck a director's cut
  14. You may think they've come a long way with making the dolls' bodies more realistic, then you look up and realize Yankem's right arm looks like it belongs to Gregg Valentino
  15. I can't wait for Enzo to end up working Mexico or county fairs as N. Zo Amor.
  16. The romantic relationship part was godawful. The whole book, the girl (sorry, I forget the names, it's been a while) is telling the guy that they can't meet IRL because she's ugly, not presentable, that he'll be disappointed, something like that. Then it turns out she's a pretty girl with a little scar or birthmark or something. Wow, bold choice by the author, there.
  17. God damn, dude. I'm sorry to hear that. Best to both of you.
  18. Don't forget, the WWF rings were really hard from right around the time SNME started until the time Vince started wrestling.
  19. Artists may or may not be able to do whatever they're handed; depends on their skill level. Look up shops near you. A good shop should at least have their artists and portfolios online. Find an artist whose style you like and set up a consultation. Show him what you want to get done and get his feedback. You should be able to get a feel for whether he can do it or not and what his approach will be. Now on the "just hand a guy some source material and ask him to put it on you" front, this may just be my preference, but I feel like a good artist will collaborate with you and throw ideas out, not just ink whatever you give him. Some of the coolest aspects of tattoos I have came from a guy saying, "hey, I was thinking we could..." At the same time, if a guy throws an idea out there that you don't like, just tell him that you'd rather not. A good artist won't be a baby about it Finally, on price, there's the adage, "a good tattoo is not cheap and a cheap tattoo is not good." The artist should be able to tell you what their hourly rate is. I can't tell you what's high or low in your area but if it sounds like a bargain, go someplace else. I am absolutely happy with my last tattoo and it was $175/hour. I'm in suburan (or exurban?) DC. And don't forget to tip your tattoo guy. Around 20% is great. It sounds high but remember that unless he owns the shop, probably half of what he charges goes to the shop owner. He gets the other half but has to pay for all his own supplies, so it's not like he's getting rich on this shit. LOOOL My first wasn't meaningful at all. It was shitty $60 flash that I got just to be getting a tattoo. It's covered up under a larger piece now. The Enterprise tattoo sounds awesome. People get really hung up on "oh man it has to be super meaningful" and if they can just get past that, they're in for a fun lifetime of getting goofy shit tattooed on them.
  20. Shane's kids probably fight over who gets to wear it on Halloween
  21. Maybe they gave Diamond the entire suit and then he showed up at the taping with just a few pieces , telling Vince he dog ate the rest. The Undertaker "flag overcoat" excuse.
  22. WOW. I honestly had no idea that there was an actual complete mech costume. I always thought the costume was what we saw with Diamond: just arm gauntlets and a backpack. Holy shit. So Konnan left/was fired in part because he didn't want to lug all that shit around. And then they gave his replacement a much smaller outfit, like, "hey yeah, maybe Carlos had a point there."
  23. Ginger in Lakers hat: Carlos Espada, Luchador. A man barely alive Vince McMahon: Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's first bionic man. Carlos will be that man. Better than he was before. Better... stronger... faster. Thus, the Six Million Peso Man was born
  24. Everybody should get a tattoo, at least once. On an unrelated topic, my boss tends to use the incorrect words for things. I'm not sure if he just has brainfarts, or if he's just a dumb guy trying to look smart -- he only went as far as high school but I never hold that against anybody and don't assume anyone is unintelligent just because of it. Anyway, enough disclaimers. Today, in a meeting where we were discussing information we needed to get from a company, he said we needed to be specific and send a very "poignant" email. Unless he meant that our email had to be sad and heartfelt, I think he meant to say "pointed." Holee shit.
