JAN 2014 WRESTLING DISCUSSION REBOOT THREAD
tbarrie replied to RIPPA's topic in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
How can you be sure? Would you have noticed if he was? -
I really don't get what anybody sees in Big E. Langston. He's been terrible any time they've given him the mike and his ringwork, while not terrible or anything, has been pretty pedestrian. Was he that great in NXT? I've only seen him since he was called up.
-
Whenever he wins his first WWE Championship, that's how Reigns has to finish the match. No questions asked. ...by reversing one of Cody Rhodes's signature spots?

According to Wikipedia Brave won last year.

The Attitude Era was pretty clearly marketed at teenagers, John.

JANUARY PRO WRES YAMMERING
tbarrie replied to Fat Spanish Waiter's topic in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
Is that a surprise? The Wii-U has barely sold 4 million units in over a year. Yes, Wii sales are probably down, what with every household in the developed world already owning a Wii. I don't see why that would dissuade WWE from supporting the platform. -

The Wii is conspicuous by its absence from the list of supported devices. -

hbk.gif HBK also had about nine gazillion times more charisma and presence than Dolph does. Besides, does anybody think it was a good idea to make HBK a main eventer? -
See, I'd say it was about humility first and foremost. And as fun as the movies were, I don't think they got that.

I don't know how old this is, but somebody did a wrestling territories map on Google Maps: https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zVPwR5corACM.kfFoEgDSaqVk -
The Marvel Studios thread (2008-)
tbarrie replied to The Natural's topic in "COMIC BOOK" MOVIES & TV
Sure, but it's not like they didn't have long careers before that fact was revealed/retconned in. If Marvel ever gets the rights to the X-Men back, they can retcon it in in the movieverse too. If not, oh well.- 4,313 replies

Changing which villain they used to work for hardly makes them "nothing like the source material". It's a minor detail.- 4,313 replies

Are there really people who would vote if they were only familiar with one of the options in a poll?

Teach me about: Davey Richards
tbarrie replied to JAxlMorrison's topic in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
I'm going to pretend you said "Shango". Did he set Davey's boots on fire? -
Batman vs Spider-Man is always on-topic. And I don't just mean on the internet. Feel free to bring it up at symposia and funerals and whatnot.
-
Counterpoint: Venom didn't even exist when I was a kid, and the people who like him need to remove themselves from my lawn forthwith.
-
If it's an action movie, special effects certainly do make a movie good, or at least contribute towards it. And the black suit, with the implication that Spidey might be flirting with going evil, may have been a draw to mainstream fans, yeah. But no way does anybody give a rat's ass about Venom.
-
But you're okay with the radioactive spider thing?
-
Spider-Man 3 had the Goddamn Sandman looking awesome in a live-action film, something all right-thinking people had wanted to see since childhood. Other than that, the actors did a good job of getting Peter and MJ's relationship problems across, the confident, womanizing Peter scenes were hilarious, and the action scenes generally delivered. Venom was unnecessary (they could have done the alien suit plot and left Venom as a sequel hook), but it didn't kill the film.
-
Yeah, but Spider-man 3 wasn't actually bad. It only gets shit on because the first two set the bar so high.
-
True, the Spider-Man vs Batman talk is off-topic, especially as Spidey's never really had a bad movie.
-
First might actually be the Fantastic Four, because Doctor Doom is worth any five other villains, and Galactus is in there too. Their depth sucks though. Second is Spidey. Third is Batman.
-
Green Goblin, Doc Ock, Kraven, Electro, Lizard, Kingpin, Vulture, Mysterio, Morbius, Sandman and that is off the top of my head. Outside of the top 2, none of these make Bats top 10. And Kingpin is more of a general villian, not Spidey based. I'm curious what makes Killer Croc a better villain than the Lizard. Kingpin is totally a Spider-Man villain. Sure Daredevil fights him too, but that's because Spidey's rogues' gallery is so awesome other heroes need to borrow from him.
