Right, that's what I meant. He has the tattoos, including the forehead wording, the too on-the-nose "HAHAHAHAHAHA" on his chest and the Juggalo skull, in the trailer.

Remember when the Leto Joker pic was tweeted out and everyone lost their shit? Do I remember correctly that the makers of the film walked it back and said it was just a Tweet to celebrate the Joker's anniversary and that the Joker would not look like that in the film? He looks exactly the same.

The Bonnie Tyler album featuring "Ravishing" was released about six months after "The Wrestling Album". The album took about two years to produce (another single from that album, "Holding Out for a Hero", was released on the "Footloose" soundtrack in 1984), and it appears Jim Steinman came up with the instrumental first, then slightly changed the melody and added lyrics for the Tyler version.
Actually, Wikipedia says Steinman was working on the Wrestling Album and the Tyler album at the same time. So I guess he just figured the Tyler track could do double duty, maybe thinking nobody would care about a wrestling album. To be fair, both the Tyler song and Hulk Hogan's Theme are pretty obscure. Mainstream wise, Tyler was done by the time the album came out (Holding Out for a Hero was on the album but it had already been out for two years by then) and Hogan only used that song briefly. I was a kid of the 80s and never heard "Ravishing" until recently when reading about its similarity to the Hogan song.
Jim Steinman can write like a motherfucker, though.

I thought that Divas segment was a fucking mess. I don't get why Sasha would just join up with Tamina and Naomi. Is it because they are all minorities? I need to watch the Cesaro segment. There really is nothing else of value on the show, right?
It's the Wrestling Rule of Minorities. They must team or feud.
So does that mean Alicia is too light skinned to team with the darker skin women so they shoved her with the two Hispanic women?
I must consult the Vince McMahon Minority Power Rankings

I still have some hope, since "Kevin Steen goes to Raw looking indy as ever and is booked pretty well" is something nobody in their right mind would have predicted.

I'm sick of any commercial that uses an overplayed Imagine Dragons song
I pray I never have to hear that freakin' "I bet my life on you" song again, and I've only heard it in commercials and promos for things.
Another one that makes me want to jab a pen in my ear. Also, any song featured in commercials for The Biggest Loser can eat a preemptive dick.

Shit, I'm more in on Ray Donovan than I am on True Detective now. I was done with it last year and now they've pulled me back in. Ian McShane showing up as a drunk billionaire and Jon Voight becoming a pimp with a heart of (sorta) gold were better than any damn gunfight.
Great first episode. Luchadores, Cousin Balki, Xanax-assisted drownings. "You are discreet and have no problem with violence."

Russev's shit talking to Owens was great. He's really coming into his own on the mic. Match was top notch as well. I hope we haven't seen the last of Cesaro vs. Russev. That's a feud I'd much rather see than Russev mucking about with Ziggler.
As good as the Divas segment was, it could have been better as it almost seemed like Gang Warfare Divas Edition. Also, why was Stephanie acting like a face here? Granted she came across incredibly disingenuous and her acting was pretty horrid, but it doesn't make sense with her character.
JBL made a TL Hopper reference during the R Truth match. That got a guffaw out of me.
Steph could just hate the Bellas. That's something heels and faces can do easily.
And Becky Lynch was at Hogan levels of orange tonight. It was distracting.
I was hoping someone would bring up Becky's spray tan because, holy shit, that was bad. Al Jolson saw it and said, "hey, that's a bit much."
The conscious decision to slightly downplay the NXT women was weird. As mentioned, no belt on Sasha, which is really stupid. Also, Becky didn't get her entrance or gear. Is this a Kevin Dunn, "their guys shouldn't look like bigger stars than our guys" thing? Because it was really obvious they were being minimized.

A few cards after my first one (I was 11), we all went to a TV taping. Incidentally, it was the one where Piper comes back and destroys the Flower Shop. Which was funny, as they "broke his leg" early in the night, conducted one Flower Shop interview in the middle of the show, then he came back at the end to get his revenge. But anyway, yeah, TV tapings were fucking brutal. 1-2 minute jobber squash, 5-10 minutes of nothing, another squash, rinse repeat.
It's the 9/16/86 show about halfway down the page here. I'll save your sanity, and your eyes, by not pasting it.

I was a little over 11 years old and my sister bought tickets for me for Christmas. Shitty card -- 7 matches with 3 fuck finishes and a cavalcade of jobbers -- but it was still awesome. WWF was firmly entrenched in the strategy of "load the 'A city' shows with shit but put Hogan on them" and the tradition of "put the main on in the middle so you can announce next month's main and sell tickets at intermission" was alive and well. I am old.

Tangentially, theres a new GB comic book where the movie team meets the cartoon counterparts.
Seeing the covers of those comics reminded me of a question that has always bugged me. I mean "always" as in, "this shit bugged me when I was a kid seeing it for the first time."
Why did they swap the looks of Venkman (Murray) and Stantz (Akroyd) where cartoon version of Venkman looks more like Dan Akroyd and the cartoon version of Stantz looks more like Bill Murray? Was it some sort of image rights issue?

I just read about those card in the last issue of Horrorhound. Pretty cool.

Has Hulk Hogan's WCW contract and its many many perks ever been leaked? Fuck the WWE announcer notes, I bet that's the read of a life time
Its just 26 pages of your username over and over
And at the very end, just the word "bandanas."
needs more "brother" in there

Is there a better way to debut Zayn than as a surprise in the Rumble eliminating Owens?
Any scenario that ends up with what is essentially Kevin Steen vs El Generico at Wrestlemania is amazing

Damn, JT. I forgot all about The Darkroom. The credits alone scared me. Of course, I was like 6.
Masters of Horror was great. I didn't like Imprint as much as many other did; I think it was overhyped because it was initially banned.

Scream has a television series and now The Omen. At least the Friday the 13th series was awesome without having anything to do with Jason Voorhees.
I eagerly await a Friday the 13th TV series with a sexy Jason who wears the mask because he's disfigured on the inside. A hot actress 5-10 years older than him will play Mrs. Vorhees.

There's a pretty great story about Dario Cueto debuting in front of a Mexican crowd on the Unleashed show with Eric Van Wagenen that released today
Thanks for the heads-up. That story was awesome.

I'm sick of any commercial that uses an overplayed Imagine Dragons song or that fucking "OHHH COME WITH ME NOW" track. Is every fucking musician or their team of writers and producers today writing songs with the sole intent of getting played in as many commercials and TV show promos as possible?
I heard that god damn "Safe and Sound" song in so many ads that I had to look it up. Turns out the band who does the song started off as TV jingle writers and were quite successful at it for years. This at the same time makes perfect sense and is horribly cynical as fuck. Pop music and commercial jingles are just the same damn thing nowadays.
I guess I'm the old man yelling at a cloud but god damn.

So Damien is a sexy sexy young man instead of a creepy kid? For fuck's sake. I blame Bates Motel for this bullshit.

Those are awesome except the new Savage figure looks like Steve Williams and the Bayley prototype has ridiculous bewbs

Good point about Elgin being better in tags. Bring in Brian Cage, reunite the Unbreakable Fucking Machines and put them against War Machine. It would either be an amazing mean guy match or a fucking trainwreck but fuck it, I'd be entertained.
