  1. From what I recall, he came to the conclusion that they would never seriously push him. This came on the heels of him jobbing to Drew Mac in like 2 minutes on Smackdown. From there he asked for his release. It's rumored he found out he was going to be fired, and the "asked for his release" story was put out to let him save face (Whether that's true or not, I dunno. It seems slightly more likely than quitting a job that pays better than anything else in your profession. But, I can see ki thinking that it wasn't worth it and hoping he could get enough bookings in the indys and Japan to make out ok. Might have worked out too if he wasn't so adept at burning bridges.) Well, if we go by what DB said about his brief firing after NecktieGate, Indy-famous wrestlers like Ki make more money writing their own tickets than they do jerking the curtain for Vince. Really? Things have changed then.I remember when Punk first signed with Vince and Meltz or someone asked him in an interview what he would do if they (WWE) booked him like Shannon Moore? Punk replied along the lines of "Suck it up and pay for my house in cash, like he did." implying that the money for jobbers was much better than anything on the indy market.
  2. Batman: The Brave and the Bold = The best Batman series It has the perfect balance of seriousness and camp that appeals to both the Nolan Batman fan and the Adam West Batman fan in me.
  3. I remember an episode where Sammo schooled a co-worker with a chalk duster just to prove a point.
  4. Looking back I think Hall's best shot at a WWE World Title would've been to beat Bret at the 93 Rumble and drop it to Yoko at WM9. Bret can take Hall's spot v Backland.
  5. Id take Dracula over Space Balls any day. Robin Hood: Men in Tights is also a very rewatchable film.
  6. Wife and I watched Her last night. It had some nice ideas but fuck me was it boring.
  7. JCM - It's what makes a great baby face in any wrestling company outside of WWE. Vince has (outside of Austin) always booked his top faces as almost unbeatable super hero types. Totally against the grain of just about every territory/fed before and after the Monday Night Wars. I think Ambrose can have a run at the top, but I dont see him being anywhere close to a long term main eventer while Vince is around. When Hunter takes over, then we might see a better balance in our top faces. He seems to favor an older school, NWA type of system so hopefully he can really revamp the company. At least, thats what most of us are holding on for right?
  8. Ahh man... Maybe linked to the whole "Fred Durst/Pray for Taker coz he's in a bad way" thing? Hope he found some peace.
  9. How about "My Wife and Kids" with Damon Wayans? His 3 kids, all the boyfriends and girlfriends, as well as that Franklin kid... Ugh...
  10. Test was a hero in my circle of friends for trying to kill people with his foot. We named his finish "Das Boot" and it always got a massive pop. Have to put in a nomination for Billy Kidman's Shooting Star. As someone who didnt get any Lucha/Japanese stuff the SSP blew my mind as a 13 year old kid. Worst move (not already mentioned) - Super Kick. HBK used it in some amazing spots but every damn indy wrestler used this at one point and it was annoying as fuck to watch people trade super kicks like knife edge chops.
  11. Im still trying to work out how James Bond is any sort of hero in Goldfinger. He gets caught multiple times, discovers Goldfinger's smuggling and Fort Knox plans through sheer luck and isn't even the person who disarms yhe bomb at the end! If it wasnt for the bomb disposal guy's great timing and Pussy Galore's change of heart then Goldfinger's plan goes off without a hitch. Also he flat out RAPES Ms Galore in the barn scene. Go watch it again if you dont believe me. There's no "aggressive foreplay" it's just straight up rape. For a movie that is so often brought up by casual fans as being the 'best' Bond movie, it's really quite terrible.
  12. Jamaal Charles can bite my shiny metal ass. So can Antonio Gates but only because I left him on the bench in favour of Greg Olsen. Damn Seattle D....
  13. Would like to plug "The Lightbulb Conspiracy" Goes over the history of planned obsolence in products using the story of the first lightbulb which supposedly could last close to 100,000 hours. Then company heads realised that shorter lasting bulbs would need replacing more often, resulting in more profit.
  14. NXT is the best promotion in the world right now. Happy with the name change from KENTA to Hideo Itami. I-TA-MI is easy to chant to I expect the Impact Zo.... errr NXT Arena to buy in like they have with Sami, Neville, Cesaro etc. Cant wait for Itami vs Zayn at Takeover 3. Anyone know when Steen and Devitt come in?
  15. Ray Rice v Big Show at Mania 31??
  16. How is it that nXt can be booked so perfectly, while Raw and SD are either a jumbled mess or replays/recaps? I honestly cant explain how these 'rookiez' can be presented so so well while guys like Reigns, Big E, Wyatts etc can be fucked up so badly.
  17. Same with spamming TU's on the poor kid. At least you're not picking Blanka and just crouching for the whole fight...
  18. Im sure they'll work ot out with makeup and CGI. Exciting if true. I like Foxx when he is playing more dramatic/serious roles and I think a Tyson pic is something he could do alot with.
  19. Not when Fast and Furious and Aaron Paul are both hot at the same time. Calling it now: Need for Speed will do better box office numbers than Guardians of the Galaxy. Oh man, digging up old quotes is fun. GotG's opening weekend more than doubled NFS's total domestic take, for the record. Hey I was only out by like... *looks at numbers* well, fuck. More than happy to eat humble pie on this.
  20. I think Brie is rootable and I'm sure many of the Poms and Aussies on here would agree.
  21. This is WWE, Vince probably thinks it would be HI-larious to have a random indy guy pretend to be Sam and be all sterotypically gay and stuff and then be beaten up by someone. I can see this going Trump/Rosie and be really really bad. I hope not but that's what I'm expecting because that's what WWE has lead me to expect. I bet they have Sandow pretend to be Sam if they can't get the real one, or do a bit with the real Sam if he does show up. Michael Sam-Dow ??? This is going to be one of those "Why the fuck am I still a fan?" moments isn't it?
  22. I didnt mind Constantine. Put S4 against any of the other non Sup flicks here and I would vote for it. When I was a kid a actually thought that the Nuclear Man was Lex Luger haha
