  1. I really think it's a knock on his legacy and ranking as an all-timer if he can't figure out a way to work around really hurting himself by making some changes.
  2. I misunderstood the title at first. Still in.
  3. Besides being a big man when hardcore fans were all about smaller guys and go-go styles, I think Mark's initial sweetheart contract really hurt his perception. Anytime he got a push I'd hear that it was only because Vince had to get his money's worth out of him. I didn't really appreciate him until his ECW run, but I've gone back and watched his initial run and even in the late 90s he had something.
  4. "Listen up, ladies and gentlemen. Our disgruntled wrestling employee has been on the run for 90 minutes. Average foot speed over uneven ground, barring hernias, is 4 miles-an-hour. That gives us a radius of six miles. What I want out of each and every one of you is a hard-target search of every Pac Sun, Vitamin Shoppe, Sally Beauty, tribal tattoo den, outhouse and Big Doghouse in that area. Checkpoints go up at fifteen miles. Your fugitive’s name is Leati Ani...Anay...An...it's Roman Reigns. Go get him."
  5. I can't remember. That might have been the earlier one that was part of the string of losses that turned Jericho heel when he was throwing tantrums after every match.
  6. Oddly enough I'm pretty sure Mania falls on Rusev Day this year, so it sort of makes sense.
  7. Shane vs either KO or Sami solo, and the other one faces Nak to crown a new champion. The title was always going on Nak anyway, plus AJ comes back with a legitimate issue hopefully by Summerslam.
  8. That's kind of what I was driving at with my question. I don't think it benefits them to put him back in a ring in any kind of capacity where there are caveats and he's not allowed to go balls to the wall or there's no future for him either part or full time. They're just poking the bear for no reason.
  9. Are there levels of medical clearance? Hogan and Flair talked about being cleared when they came back from TNA, but there was never any plan to use them in ring beyond what we saw. Bret's match with Vince was obviously more of an angle, but he also worked some other matches where he'd do the five moves of doom and just not really bump. Is it in for a penny in for a pound? If they clear Bryan for a tag match where he just has some offense after Shane takes all of the bumps does that mean he's actually cleared going forward?
  10. I've had receding gums for a few years, and I've been putting off getting them looked at like a knob because I hadn't gotten set up with a new dentist since I moved. This morning while I was getting ready for work I brushed off most of what was protecting the back of my front bottom teeth, and now they feel completely exposed. It got worse when I tried to eat something at lunch. My wife's dentist said they're booked for two weeks and if I want to get put in as an emergency I have to call same day. Now I have to call first thing tomorrow (my only day off) to try to get a babysitter to watch my daughter while I go, all with a snowstorm looming over our heads. Nearly all of my big problems are because my passivity about everyday small problems ends up always leading me to dealing with some dumb crisis I coud have easily avoided.
  11. Over/under on "give him a hand" jokes during the induction?
  12. There were a few times where they would throw Jericho and Flair together for no particular reason without a program and they had fun matches.
  13. Yeah, they might have screwed up, but I remember Thunder either not being shown or being delayed quite a bit.
  14. Dwayne Johnson is Jakked Cousteau!!!
  15. I want to use that picture to make a Harley Race wall clock.
  16. It's on YouTube in full. It's pretty poor quality with Arabic subtitles, but it'll give you an idea of what you're in for.
  17. Really fell down a rabbit hole here. Allow me to introduce Robert Bronzi. Robert seems to be an affable man with an impenetrably thick accent of indeterminate origin who also happens to look hauntingly similar to Charles Bronson. Up until recently this has led to some look-alike gigs for Robert, but how much demand is there for a Charles Bronson at celebrity tribute shows? But this past year some low budget film makers with an entrepreneurial carny spirit have discovered Robert. In 2017 he starred in his first movie, From Hell to the Wild West, which, you guessed it, is cowboy Charles Bronson archetype versus Jack the Ripper. Certainly a fun concept, but this is a softcore porn level production. In fact, a Caligula-style cut of added sex scenes wouldn't look out of place at all and would pad out the runtime to feature length. Robert's character barely speaks and is dubbed as to not break the illusion. Up next this year is Death Kiss, which appears to be the unlicensed Death Wish sequel co-starring a Baldwin I never knew I wanted. No, I won't look up which Baldwin. It's a big step up production wise from the first film and even if it's still cheap trash, it's curiously well made cheap trash with a hook. Anyway, I kind of like this guy and I'm charmed by the Bowfingeresque nonsense that these film makers are getting up to. I'd definitely check Death Kiss out before I'll watch that Eli Roth remake.
  18. Looking forward to Dwayne's new original concept. Can't believe no one's ever thought to make a movie about a law enforcement officer chasing an international art thief. Wild.
  19. They treated Luna like shit when she was alive and I don't think they care about promoting her legacy now.
  20. I love that his name still isn't on the poster.
  21. Goosebumps was pretty toothless, especially compared to AYAOTD (that didn't feel any easier to abbreviate. Yeesh.) I did like the one with the werewolf at the summer camp because I'm a sucker for a good old fashioned Serling-style, "They were aliens the whole time!"
  22. The Infinite Amount of Time on Our Hands War.
  23. Let's call the whole thing off.
  24. As a 90s kid and an anthology horror fiend, first on my list has to be Are You Afraid of the Dark? It was pretty hardcore for YA horror. The effects could be pretty gnarly and about half the time the kids wouldn't even survive.
