So is 31 any good? I'm a fan of Zombie and most of his movies, though Halloween 2 can eat a dick, but his white trash aesthetic can be grating when he pushes it too far.

Why is Anton Chigurth on that poster?

LOL Amazing Elbow Jesus > Crossfit Jesus

Awesome, thanks for the heads-up

He'll tear a quad carrying the prenup to the ring

Yeah, and only made up of established tag teams, no singles.

Some of the other ones I remember: A "Battle of the Network Stars" type thing with WWF vs NWA in various non-wrestling competitions like the 100 yard dash. A tag team tournament where the gimmick was that (in the story), members of teams were thrown in and drawn at random. I believe the final was Eaton & Morton vs Lane & Gibson. Hogan vs Tyson

I blame Crossfit

That was Wrestling Superstars. I loved reading those as a kid.

I liked Ocean's 11. Never saw 13 because 12 was so bad it killed my interest. One reason 12 sucked so bad was that it wasn't even an "Ocean's" movie. It started life as a completely different movie and was rewritten to shoehorn all the Ocean shit into it.

That is horrible on so many levels.

Ah, you're right. I also forgot they also did a Dusty Finish last week where the heels were the ones screwed. Un-fucking-believable. I guess booking the way wrestling has always been effectively booked is to rasslin' for Vince.

WWE books faces like shit. This is not news.

I never thought I'd find myself longing for the steadfast, articulate leadership of George W. Bush, but here we are.

Again, "take the belt off the up and comers and put it on a name before Mania" is WWE's thing. We just saw it with Styles. I'd rather have Owens beat Goldberg via Brock interference. Have Owens beat him with his old F-Cinq finisher just for fun.

Holy shit, you're right. It would still be a nasty bump, regardless, but damn.

Here's a longer questionnaire. It's from a localized entity and not the federal government, but guidelines are typically similar everywhere, from what I gather. It's amazing, allright. The only criteria where WWE workers qualify as independent contractors instead of employees are the ones that benefit WWE financially (job-related expenses, ability to quit without liability, taxes, insurance). They get away with it because nobody gives a shit about fake fighting, and the only people in a position to fight it are active wrestlers who don't want to be blackballed. For retired guys, the statute of limitations often runs out because they are hesitant to sue because "New York might call me for one last run, brother."

Dude looks like a the villain in a Bond movie. And not even a top tier Bond movie. I mean a Bond movie after the rights have gone public domain and we're seeing a flood of really crappy straight to video Bonds.

Random shit in no particular order: Somebody didn't learn from the Ghostbusters "reimagining," I guess. I had no idea what an "Awkwafina" was and had to Google. Did nobody consider the layout of this promo shot, where the white ladies are placed prominently in front and the minorities are in the background?

With Linda now heading the SBA, I wonder how long until this page is removed from the sba.gov site. Literally all three criteria the site lays out for someone to qualify as an employee as opposed to an independent contractor apply to WWE Superstars(tm)

Just like Sami Zayn, it doesn;t matter if the fans love you, if Vince doesn't understand your appeal (because he's old), you're fucked. In a just world, Charlotte would win most overrated this year. But Dave overrates her too, so that won't happen. Other random shit: We needed two minute intervals because of how long the ramp was. Shorter and we'd get the next guy's music while the preceding guy was just stepping through the ropes. Did everyone use the golf cart or just the bigger dudes? Absolutely zero cool surprise entrants was really a thing

Will Ospreay breaking up a pin with a running shooting star press was the exact moment they lost me. The dude is they very definition of a guy trying way too hard to get all his shit in.

Well one guy can get in there, do 5-10 minutes of gaga and probably no bumps. The other guy can't help but launch himself headfirst at his opponents because he thinks he owes it to the business to do dangerous shit. One grew up in an era where the marks were in the stands, not backstage.

Reminds me of Breaking Bad, season 2, where the names of the first, last, and two middle episodes added up to "737 Down Over ABQ."

You'll also learn that Bob Sweetan might have been the ugliest wrestler in history
