  1. When you look at literally everything the WWE puts out, from the in-ring to the merch to the magazines and website, you get a pretty good idea of what they think their fans are like. And the way they see us is, generally speaking, rather different to the way we see ourselves. They might not think 'this shirt we put out, I'd happily wear it in public myself' but they're damn sure the wwe universe would sport it with pride.
  2. Bohemian Rhapsody is at 57% on RT. Apparently it ends at Live Aid. Perhaps they're thinking of doing the last six years as a sequel.
  3. I saw this one youtuber did a Make-a-Wish (the Wish kid wanted to be in one of his videos) and he was super bubbly and positive the whole time he was with the kid. And then when he's walking out after the visit is over, as soon as he's far enough away that the kid can't hear him, he collapses to the floor crying his eyes out. For ages.
  4. They want enough time to pass that everyone forgets about Justice League.
  5. Brock is fighting Daniel Cormier (or possibly Derrick Lewis) in UFC... some time before March 20th 2019. So if he's winning the WWE Universal title, he's dropping it quickly. No way they're letting him fight an MMA match as WWE champion. Especially if he loses to a guy who might be commentating Smackdown a couple of months later.
  6. Weight cutting is bad, because when you dehydrate a body, all the fluids get drier, including Cerebrospinal fluid. So instead of your brain floating around in a nicely high pressured water tank, it's rattling around in a dryer, lower pressure one. And then getting hit in the head, so it bounces around, means the brain damage is exacerbated more than if someone wasn't dehydrated. And it takes the body quite a while to generate new brain fluid, so even fully rehydrating won't necessarily fix it.
  7. You'd think, though, that when you're casting Bane, you'd look for a really jacked up muscle guy. Not just cast a skinny lad and put him in a really obvious, badly proportioned muscle suit.
  8. 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.
  9. You spelled Scotland wrong. Besides which, it's only a sport if you can't smoke while you're doing it.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. If he's only commentating on SDLive, that's one day a week. Plus the odd PPV Sunday maybe.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. My God! They've killed him! Someone stop the damn match!
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. So if Fox tells them to, they'll break the deal? I wonder what could encourage Fox to exert such pressure.
  21. 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?
  22. Someone made World of Sport era Regal: https://firepro-w.com/item/detail/25584
