  1. Right, but Colt wasn't born ten years ago. I'd imagine a guy in his thirties would maybe have heard of Lestat. Again, maybe it's just me. No. Most of the world doesn't know what Lestat is. They know Dracula.Right. But I'm not talking about most of the world. I'm talking about dudes in their thirties in America. Like I said, maybe it's just me but Interview was a pretty big movie.
  2. So, once again this year I helped run the annual Frozen Dead Guy Days Festival up in the mountain town of Nederland, Colorado. http://www.legendsofamerica.com/co-frozendeadguy.html http://frozendeadguydays.org/ Amongst other things I always run and MC the Polar Plunge event. People come from all over the world and this year we hosted a Japanese variety show and some of their crew who flew here to film a segment. I have no idea what the show is called, but it just popped up on DailyMotion. You can see yours truly announcing at the 26 minute mark. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1kn8er_140330-%E4%B8%96%E7%95%8C%E3%81%AE%E6%9E%9C%E3%81%A6%E3%81%BE%E3%81%A7%E3%82%A4%E3%83%83%E3%83%86q-%E6%98%A5%E3%81%AE%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A3%E3%83%83%E3%83%95%E3%83%ABsp2014-2-3_lifestyle
  3. I was enjoying Corporate Kane but this was the evil monster character done right. No dopey "throwing a guy off a cliff" or "Electrocute his balls", (as funny as that was), but the simplicity and scariness of three fucking tombstone piledrivers on the floor, the stairs, and a table. So, besides the awesome Kane beatdown that was some bad ass old school Pro Rasslin' style heel shit, this was a really fun show, better than last week, which was really good. ~Holy Fuck, Barrett vs Sheamus was good shit. Bad News is the perfect example of what you always hear guys like Austin and Ross talk about, in regards to "taking a gimmick, making it yours, embrace it, and that's how to get over." The fact that he's gonna be a face sooner than later with this gimmick is cool as fuck, and I didn't see it coming. ~Both Bo Dallas vignettes were god damned genius. I've seen so many dopey videos like these in corporate meetings back in my old profession, and these are dead on. They remind me also of these stupid inspirational presentations they'd show us in high school. ~The promo video for the midget feud was well done, and the match was fun for what it was. ~ Evolution coming out dressed well looked fucking bad ass, and the whole segment kicked ass. The new Evolution TitanTron video was cool showing them young and then now, as was the video proper. Shield coming out with the attitude "Hey Old men, we're the bad asses around here now!" was great, as was HHH looking at them with scorn as he used his power to bring out the heel squad. ~Tag match was ok. We're getting the Rhodes brothers breakup that I'm looking forward to, if just for the promos to explain it. Ryback is so good on the mic, shit..he was the best wrestling announcer all night, besides Cole during the Bryan massacre. ~ Remember the mid to late 80's WWF where no one was married or had a family until Jake Roberts and Cheryl ? No one existed before they were in the WWF and no one had a wife or kids. Now, in one show we see them acknowledging marriages. Times have changed. ~The Crowd DID pop for the pink Cobra to be fair. ~Weird miscue with Paul getting cut off, and boy...a LOT of the camera work tonight stunk. So many cut aways to Heyman during this match and Lana during the Rusev match that looked awful. ~ I need to start a "NO H8" movement for RVD. That match was perfectly fine, and got really good by the end. I realize that RVD could save a widow and ten orphans from a burning building while delivering Meals On Wheels and some of you would still hate him, but I digress. DAMN, did RVD get killed with that flip powerbomb. And yes,, the crowd didn't care about RVD. You could tell by the crowd chanting "RVD". It's a known fact that chanting a guy's name means they don't care about him. What they didn't care about was headlock spots. I totally loved the Blassie, Albano, Grand Wizard and Bobby Davis mentions. This might have been the first time the Wizard has been mentioned on WWE TV in decades. The ending totally worked, as Cesaro didn't get pinned and they can now have a main event on SD that people will tune in for. I know "RVD beat Cesaro" causes people to cry and shit their pants, but the way it was done made total sense. But again, boy...was there some terrible, terrible quick cuts and shots from the production crew here. If there was a choice between showing the ring action or Heyman being all method, they went with Heyman. ~Paige is hot. And she fucking smashed Aksana's nose in. ~Rusev reminds me of the Tazmaniac. A Lot. Match was fun. Handicap match at the PPV seems off. Truth should be able to be a guy who handles Rusev but gets beat solo. I'm guessing they do some sort of "Woods gets beat" and pisses off Truth deal. ~ The whole Wyatt/ Cena deal is so much fun. Wyatt is the PERFECT foil/ arch-enemy for Cena. Cena's had lots of rivals and they've always been about titles pretty much, with some personal stuff thrown in. This is Dusty/ Sullivan, Valiant/ Jones, etc stuff. I want this to go on forever. The fact that they've taken the crowd singing along and waving and using it as a part of the story, ie: Wyatt gaining followers everywhere and parts of the crowd are "rejecting " Cena and embracing The Wyatts is some cool slick work.
  4. Today was my nephew's first day of pre-school. Here he is ready to take on the world.
  5. Right, but Colt wasn't born ten years ago. I'd imagine a guy in his thirties would maybe have heard of Lestat. Again, maybe it's just me.
  6. The latest show with Gangrel is really good. But when he mentions that he briefly was called Lestat, and Cabana had no idea what that meant, is it right for me to be thinking "How could you be that ignorant about something famous ?" or is Lestat not as common knowledge as I think it is?
  7. Add to the beginning Crusher Darsow, Hillbilly guy who became a traitor.
  8. According to Meltzer, every time someone says something about guys who "want to be there", "didn't quit" or some variation of the taking the ball home line, it's a dig at CM Punk. Example: Triple H telling Bryan that he "stuck it out", etc.. Right, but those are little digs with no names mentioned. Not a pre taped "Bret screwed Bret" bit or midget in a Punk outfit type deal.
  9. from TMZ. How dare Nancy Grace insinuate that a death which has "caused by drugs" written all over it was, in fact, caused by drugs? Oh, God. I just realized WWE has me defending Nancy Grace. *hangs head in shame* Well, even if you grant her Warrior... Owen? Putting Owen's name on the scroll was bad, but at least you could chalk it up to a production error/lack of research. A mistake, a stupid one, but still. Nah, it's not a mistake. Any wrestler, referee, or anyone who has died is on her list. Back during the Benoit deal I was watching her and saw "the list". It had Andre, Joey Marella, and Jerry Blackwell on it. So I called into the show with the naive idea that they'd let me correct her. My thinking being, "Having that list be inaccurate takes away from the real life issue of drugs and steroids in wrestling." I know, I know. Anyway, I get put through to the producer and I tell her my issue. She gets pissed and adamantly says to me "No, its ALL steroids." I say, "Jerry Blackwell was a morbidly obese man, a giant fat man." and she says, "He probably got fat after he stopped taking the steroids, that can happen." So, they're aware that "the list" is bullshit and they don't care. And honestly, I realize now I shouldn't have cared, it's like writing into the Weekly World News to complain that there really wasn't a Bat Boy.
  10. Like someone said, the reasons why guys get depushed are probably almost always things we don't know about. I've heard that Zach wouldn't go straight to Vince with his ideas and that's what you have to do. I've heard tons of guys say that guys have to go to Vince and throw out ideas or refuse gimmicks to get ahead. Basically show some balls. That's a big reason why Punk isn't being buried on TV. Yes, Vince is concerned about merch sales, but Punk has said that he and Vince have a personal relationship and I'd guess Vince respects him for being a lot like him and standing up to him.
  11. Maybe Superman helped rebuild Metropolis. It's pretty much what he would have done in the comics. I'm a HUGE Superman fan, and have been since I was a toddler. And I enjoyed the movie even though there were more than a few parts I thought stunk. But I can overlook that stuff and still fucking dig me some Superman especially one that makes a point to show that despite it all he's a guy from Kansas at heart. But boy did they not show Pa Kent as he should be. And I thought Costner was great in the role being that character that this movie showed, but man, that wasn't Jonathan Kent from the comics at all. And young Clark running around with a red towel pretending to be Superman was probably the stupidest and most illogical thing ever that did look good. But made no sense . All I'd need is a quick shot of Toddler Clark looking at an old Captain Marvel comic or watching a caped hero on an old black and white TV and then throwing on a towel as a cape and then , fine. I'll accept the towel was red by chance , even.
  12. Yeah, Patrice was something special , just one of the funniest and smartest guys there was. Listening to him commentate on the "epic beard man on the bus " video on Opie and Anthony a few years ago had me laughing so hard I couldn't breathe.
  13. Bill Burr is really awesome, he's so funny I have to pull over when I'm listening to him while driving. And Doug Stanhope's latest special "Beer Hall Putsch" is fucking amazing.
  14. I went looking for the old Stand Up thread and couldn't find it. Cause Otto Peterson, of Otto and George died . And that stinks. He was fucking hilarious and so filthy. RIP. And anyway, let's talk stand up.
  15. Haha, that's awesome. What's with the TPB art like this and Game of Thrones Bubbles? Fan creations or some sort of promo stuff ?
  16. Monsters University is amazingly good. It's funny, touching, and a great prequel.
  17. With Trip reforming Evolution to get things back to where he wants them to be, and Steph's over-the-top heeling, along with pushing their Director of Operations to turn back into the Hellbeast he used to be, its not out of the question that the "Board of Directors" of a "Publically Traded Company" would get tired of the Levesque's shit and appoint someone to take decision making out of their hands, since they obiviously can't do it objectivly anymore.I mean shit, we spend the 80's/90's with NWA/WCW having that nebulous "Board of Directors" to put authority figures in place to counter Bischoff's shit when he got out of hand. And the WWE "Board" removed Vince from power already. They have precident. And Sting just being an authority figure would be awesome. Especially since they can play up that Sting can be impartial since he has no WWF history with these guys.
  18. Because hes one of the funniest and best stand ups alive?
  19. Thats fucking awesome.
  20. If you can find it, read his autobiography. Its hilarious and he doesn't shy away from talking about every sordid and x rated detail of his life and classic Hollywood. When I was working at the nursing home, I picked it up from the library to read to our residents, figuring that they'd love to hear stories about Mickey and Judy. Thankfully I started reading it ahead of time as I don't think the residents wanted to hear about Tallulah Bankhead eating pussy or Marilyn Monroe telling him that she wanted to be the best at sucking cock in Hollywood.
  21. I'm totally digging Evolution reforming to feud with the Shield. You know full well The Shield will come out on top by the end of the program and no matter how you personally feel about Evolution outside of what's on TV or what you thought ten years ago, that's a hell of a rub. They're doing "old guys vs young guys" and doing it right, which almost never happens. That being said, the announcing sucked, JR or Heyman would have been screaming and putting over the "Holy Shit, Evolution is back!" moment and the old lions vs young lions deal making it more chaotic.
  22. Cena's promo was fine and was consistent with his character. He's always been a guy to try and deflect things with jokes, going all the way back to his rapper days. In this instance, he was feeling comfortable after defeating Wyatt at Mania and fell back on his ways. Wyatt called him out on always hiding behind jokes, Cena got serious and made the challenge for Extreme Rules, Wyatt is gleeful to accept and it ends with Cena looking uncomfortable as Wyatt sings and sections of fans behind him are waving along to their leader. Just because the jokes stink, doesn't mean the Wyatt's got "ruined".
  23. Seth Rockins Anstonio Cesaro Heath Slate Basaltista Dean Limestone Big E Langstone Damian Sandstone Kofi Kingstone Micheal Coal
  24. TCM is showing a Mickey Rooney marathon today. I'm watching Boy's Town and holy fuck, Rooney is just fantastic. The scene where Pee Wee gets hit by a car and Whitey breaks down is heart breaking.
  25. That was the funniest episode they've done in some time.
