You missed one hell of a friendship defining hug, that’s for sure.

Someone get Dr Shelbey on the phone!

Dig through the Wrestling Machine vs Wrestling Machine thread. There are a few of them in there.

My grandpa used to call me Dave the Rave when I was on my 4th grade basketball team. I'm pretty sure that counts.

If a film has multiple directors, how would you like us to write it?

Satantango is on the Criterion Channel I am so excited I am happy Life is good! Hopefully get a chance to watch it this weekend. Ideally a full Sunday of watching it would be nice.

I'm looking at doing about 80. The last 20 to equate 100 would be a big enough drop off, but I got a week to decide. I don't see myself watching too much this up coming week. I wanted to get in a couple of Lav Diaz films, but that's not reasonable with my schedule. Maybe one or two more modern movies. My list is mostly set with room for slight wiggles.

May the blessed Baba look over you and bring you fortune on your journey. I’m excited to read this and hope this is a project I can contribute to. I always enjoy checking out your perspective.

Interesting discussion on narrative structure in Match Theory. I’ll try and piece my thoughts on it and ramble later. Interesting points here and something to consider. I tend to look at the merits of money in art to come down to what the purpose of the art is. Is it to entertain? Is it to provoke thought or emotion? Is it’s goal for you to buy more? Art has been financed for a long time now. Even the Renaissance Painters were financed by either the Catholic Church or a wealth family wanting portraits. Slippery slope indeed. As for the great religious paintings, you can either romanticize it as an advertisement/ propaganda for the church or a tribute to God. I wrote more but deleted it as my mumbling became less coherent. @Casey, I bet my favorite wrestlers could beat up your favorite wrestlers. *sees Bull Nakano* uh...um... they’re all busy though and I hear my mom calling. I love soaking in some of that King-Sized aura (gonna steal that term). Especially when you have two individuals just radiating importance and all they have to do is a stand-off. It can be over done, but when it hits I get goosebumps.

Nick Bockwinkel vs Tito Santana This one is a real treat!

Thanks. My grandma was a painter. She mostly did things like Wyoming Mountains or Matisse mimicked pieces, but I always loved her funky abstract work.

Picked this up from Mecha Shotei ( @Jiji posted the link 3 pages ago. Thanks again.). A little tight but I plan on losing a bit in the middle. Should be nice Fall wear.

When do my Timberwolves play?

I’m a fan of the Road To series.

SmackDome was right there

I know you can download on Spotify. But I’m not sure if that becomes an audio file you can play outside of the app to burn though. Worth a shot?

We say ‘Murica in these parts...

I really hope they keep playing Fall Guys. That game is fun to watch. Championship match: Prince Pretty vs Mighty Minx @kenyabaxterZXW, who would you like to see challenge for the UUDD title next?

Luckily it takes place on the same podcast feed, so you don’t need to subscribe to anything else. I enjoy their regular shows because I like their personalities, but I know little about action figures. Cardona is endearingly fussy and Myers’ balances out calm reactions makes it a fun listen. The Fed episodes are enjoyable for me because they get super pumped up about these fantasy bookings. Listening to it, it comes off more as likable nerds fantasy recapping a show as opposed to the toys themselves. Broken up into tv spot segments and a time limit to get everything in, it can get really funny, unintentionally. Also it is cool seeing their mind for the business through this. Myers being more into the wrestling matches with an added love for ECW wrestlers and Cardona being a fan of sports entertainment and wanting more promo segments. Matt half-jokingly quotes Russo (I think) by saying “I’m booking a television program” a lot. The main reason why I love it is how much fun they’re having. Moments in both the episodes where they are just cracking each other up.

The Figure Fed on the Major Figure Pod is my new favorite thing to listen to. 2 eps of it are up. So fun.

This band is way more hardcore. I’d link you to the original song, but I’m not sure if you’re ready for something this extreme.

Hey Hey Hey Your opponents blood stains On the front of your sister’s braids I knew no one could beat you They’d get suplexed and kicked in their face Forehead indented with your shoelace The smell of the mat as they fall down I knew when y’all collided You're the one I have decided who's future women’s champion Hey, Swole Sister Ain't that your big Sister on the tv, or is it no relation? The way you kick ain't fair, the match is done Hey, Swole sister I don't want to miss a single move you do Your matches are so fun Hey Hey Hey Just in time I don’t know your finishing move to complete this rhyme Your matches are perfection Your tag team connection we can't deny Pretty cool stuff Like Mortal Kombat you’ll rip a spine right out a chest I believe in you, like a Dentist, you're Michal Jordan And I'm gonna watch your match Hey, Swole Sister Ain't that your big Sister on the tv, or is it no relation? The way you kick ain't fair, the match is done Hey, Swole sister I don't want to miss a single move you do Your matches are so fun The way you can cut a promo Winning your matches, you don’t need luck You’re a wrestler, I'm a mark You're the best in the tourney and your gimmick doesn’t suck You’re in the Swole family Sorry Brandi, not sure if I can say family Or can I not say sisters? Hey, Swole Sister Ain't that your big Sister on the tv, or is it no relation? The way you kick ain't fair, the match is done Hey, Swole sister I don't want to miss a single move you do Your matches are so fun Hey Hey Hey Wednesday night Hey Hey Hey Dynamite

@Curt McGirt got me in a Corino mood! Bumping for Juggernaut and they both bleed. Bull Rope match.

The machine may be rusted, but a machine ‘s a machine. Steve Corino vs Barry Windham. A very fun match.
