Most of the Upgrade discussion I've seen lately has been about how Logan Marshall Green is a Tom Hardy clone, and Upgrade is basically the same film as Venom.

and yet bus assault Lobov still has a job, and is even on this show. He'll probably lose though.

You spelled Scotland wrong. Besides which, it's only a sport if you can't smoke while you're doing it.

Steve Corino. Because people were posting pictures of Blonde hair/ Dark beard wrestlers in the other thread. But this is the photo thread so I'm putting it here.

It was not always so, though. Watch the 1992 Rumble and see how many times someone comes out and you think "Well, there's a guy who never got out of midcard purgatory". Because it is not very often.

If he's only commentating on SDLive, that's one day a week. Plus the odd PPV Sunday maybe.

Decided to read every Kitty Norville book by Carrie Vaughn, in order. These probably would have been adapted for TV by now, if True Blood hadn't stunk up the place so badly. They're about a Talk Radio host who's a Werewolf*... and a lot of other things. Although the series drifts into save the world clichés towards the end there. The best bit is where she meets a Vegas Magician who's actually a real magician as well. And he lets slip that although he knows some actual magic, technically he's actually a Gatekeeper. "What's on the other side of the gate?" "Ever read any Lovecraft?" "No." "Never mind, don't worry about it. Forget I said anything". * In old English, 'Man' meant human. A Werman was a male human, and a Wyfman (word root for both Wife, and Woman) was a female human. Hence Were-wolf, Man-wolf. So technically a female Werewolf should be called a Wifewolf. For my next trick, I will explain how Outlaws and In-Laws used to be mutually exclusive.

Exaggerates significantly is selling things short. But it starts out totally comprehensible, and only loses touch with reality once you're a ways in. That's the issue.

Watched Unbreakable last night and Split this morning. Did the guy dealing drugs in the Stadium grow up to be a CCTV operator? I will say this, if I'd seen Split without knowing it was in the Glass universe I would have totally rejected the stuff about people with dissociative personality disorder physically changing depending on which persona was in control. Their should have been some indication that we weren't playing by real life rules early on. Unbreakable did it with the train crash. Also, I never clocked that the Home Invader murderer (in Unbreakable) guy was watching a Ken Shamrock UFC fight before. You only hear commentary.

My God! They've killed him! Someone stop the damn match!

Yeah, it's when the guy in top position puts his dukes up. Press your button then. When you upload a character and people subscribe to it (even if it's only 17 of them), you feel a little pride. But when someone comments and says Thank You, that's even better. But when they thank you in Japanese, that's next level.

Might be like Marvel comics de-emphasising the X-Men because they couldn't use them in the movies. Netflix de-pushing Marvel characters to encourage Netflix fans to not like Superheroes any more. That's bound to work just fine. Apparently Netflix has a racist algorithm now. Tries to get black people to watch a two hour movie that features a black character for ten minutes by tricking them into thinking the black character is the main star and it's his movie.

Encourage him to stand back or circle instead of initiating grapples so much. And look at him doing more big moves early (so he gets reversed) and more weak moves late. Possibly make sure he has a lot of moves rated D or E, so he gasses himself out by using them. Question: How do you make edits heels? I've got one that should be booed no matter what he does.

So if Fox tells them to, they'll break the deal? I wonder what could encourage Fox to exert such pressure.

See since Matt Sydal started doing his whole Third Eye gimmick, has anyone ever eye gouged him in the middle of his forehead? And if not, why not?

One for the Tali fans.

Ingrid Goes West (2017) Starring Aubrey Plaza, Elizabeth Olsen, O'Shea Jackson Jr and Wyatt Russell. Interesting premise, well executed, but... once you know the premise, you can basically figure out literally everything that's going to happen in this movie. Point A is very obviously leading to Point B and then on to Point C, so there's not really anything surprising here. Although possibly it's intended for a much younger audience who would be less aware of the tropes... although at one point someone does literally say "This is like Single White Female" and that younger audience wouldn't have been born when that came out in 1992. Maybe that's one of those things where if your movie is very similar to another one, but someone on screen acknowledges it somehow that gives you a licence to copy. Like if at some point in Mean Girls, someone had said "This is like Heathers but without all the Death and Jack Nicholson impersonations". I dunno. Pretty Good, anyway. Wyatt Russell seems to be very good at playing "Guy who is really disappointed with how all of this turned out" type guys. Life (2017) Starring Jake Gyllenhall, Rebecca Ferguson, Ryan Reynolds, Hiroyuki Sanada and Ariyon Bakare. It's name is very appropriate, as it is indeed predictable and not as scary as you might have thought. In terms of Alien Sci-Fi/ Horror ripoffs, I preferred Event Horizon. Nice concept, and in the beginning they try to make it a bit more relatable present day science, not far future magic science, but ultimately it's a trapped in a house with a monster movie, only in zero gravity. And when it gets into the 'The Monster is loose!' portion of the film, it starts to get not as good. The original Alien really hangs over everything anyone tries to do in this genre, and with this one being an actual alien monster (unlike in Event Horizon) that's actually stalking and killing the crew, it's an even less escapable comparison. Also, the idea of Life's monster being a thing where every cell is simultaneously an eye, a brain, a muscle and a stomach, when it's just a tiny thing in a petri dish, that makes you look forward to seeing what it's final form will be. But I didn't like the actual final form. Again, it's OK, but if you've seen the trailer, you can pretty much figure out the movie.

So this 'Impact after dark' thing they're pitching is them putting a positive spin on getting moved out of primetime (in America), right? Because their start time on 5Spike (in the UK) is 11pm now. Are they planning on embracing it by going with more a blood and violence style than before? If you want to contrast with the competition being all family friendly PG clean, you want to go adults only NC17 dirty, right?

Anyone got a good Barry Windham?

Why would you use Chelsea Green as the example of 'too talented to be a trainee' why Mia Yim is right there? She started wrestling in '09, Green started in 2014. Don't they class everyone as a trainee, even if they're a super veteran, because they have to teach them 'WWE style'. WWE style meaning 'have good matches in NXT, than get disheartened and stop trying so hard on the main roster'.

He's not buying Wembley any more. He realised voter's opinion was not in favour, and he backed out on Wednesday.

The match structures were fine, if Triple H was Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels was Ricky Steamboat. It's a clear case of an attempt to have an epic match, with two Wrestlers who are incapable of working at that level.
