Dammit I was hoping for the return of Jeremy Piven. I'd love for him to give us a sneak peek of the Summerfest card

They've already sold me on a big special edition blu-ray just so I can know how the f*** they pulled those stunts off. This movie is such a breath of fresh air for the stale as hell action genre. No bullshit tacked on love story, no needless subplots, just 2 hours of the most exciting action scenes I've ever seen. And goddamn was it ever refreshing to see a movie that actually follows "show, don't tell".

Great movie. I always found Mr Show's parody of it hilarious too. (potential language warning)

Let me think of who I'd like running things...

The Austin/Angle feud was the best part of the Invasion feud though it would have been 1000x better had "the Alliance" not been involved.

Riddle me this. Is there is anything more pathetic than seeing sweat sock lothario wobble down to the ring to the "sexy boy" theme while wearing a Shawn Michaels jacket? The knowledge that sold out crowds of unfortunate rubes got conned into paying good money to watch sweat sock lothario (Definitely the correct call on your part in not capitalizing his name. He never earned that honour) wrestle on a regular basis in the 60s and 70s? It's up there for me and it's a good example of why we shouldn't glamourize the old days of the territories too much. Yeah sure, you might get to see the living legend Lou Thesz come to your town to put on a clinic on technical wrestling with your local champ or Abdullah The Butcher or The Sheik brutalize your local favourite in a spectacle you'd never forget but then the next week you could get this geek coming in and stinking the joint out.

The Kennel From Hell too. That match severely injured the crowd's good will towards the show!

Just finished going through this amazing thread. Does anyone know if Jose has EVER looked young? Jesus, even the youngest pictures make him look about 38. In dog years.

As per most of their other updates before the last week or so, the big news: Global Force Wrestling HAS UPDATED ITS WEBSITE, even including the roster and newest articles! This, of course, is a huge deal to every GFW fan out there to see a more updated roster- JOIN THE FORCE! ...oh, and they also announced Shelton Benjamin's been signed, as well as Takaaki Watanabe [the New Japan young boy they sent to ROH]...but still! NEW WEBSITE! Not sure why. He wasn't all that impressive in the Nexus.

The Flair/Foley I Quit match is pretty damn violent for a WWE match, with Flair threatening to rip Foley's f***ing eye out on the mic and, in maybe the most cringeworthy moment in the Nature Boy's career, takes a back bump on thumbtacks and then Foley takes a backbump off the apron to the floor and smashes the back of his head on a trashcan. Good match but it's pretty ridiculous. Those are the breaks, though, because it wasn't a sit on your ass match, it was an I Quit match! Wooooooo!

"I'm Samoan." "No you're not, Taker. You're a white guy from Texas." *Tapes fists* ... "So how's Afa?"

It was terrible right from the start. He's the biggest thing in wrestling, with so much intrigue coming off the real events regarding his exit from the WWF, set to make his debut at Starrcade 97, your biggest PPV in history and instead of having a match to try and boost the buyrate even more or maybe shooting an angle to set something up for later, he's a referee. For Bischoff/Zbyszko. Then comes out and restarts the already terribly booked main event. And then he was just another guy on the roster, except most of them showed up on TV regularly. A lot of the people involved like to talk like Bret didn't succeed because he wasn't up to it or didn't care, but it doesn't take a lot to see what bullshit that was. The guy was given no favours creatively right from the start and I find it incredibly hard to believe that a guy with as much love and passion for wrestling as Bret was "just not up to it". Certainly he probably didn't care pretty quickly into his run but it's not like anyone else in WCW did either.

I'd refuse to join and instead align with Sting, so I can turn on him and join the nWo at a later time.

The documentaries are kayfabe. Especially any ones that include a hogan interview I remember it like it was yesterday, brother. I was backstage at Cobo Hall in Detroit about to hit the stage with the Rolling Stones for a gig when suddenly Vince calls me up and says, "Hey, Hulkster we got this Wrestlemania thing goin' down at the Silverdome. This is the biggest crowd in the world and we'd love to have ya wrestle Andre" and, brother, I look over at Mick, Keith and Ringo and they're all like "Brother, you gotta" so I got in my car and rushed to the Silverdome, Jack, as fast as I could. I barely made it there in time for my match but thank god I did, brother, because me and Andre tore the roof down. I lifted all 850 pounds of him up and bodyslammed him and it caused a seismic shift, brother, and once the 200-250, 000 Hulkamaniacs in that building started screaming it became a full scale earthquake, man. It was too much for Andre and he died a couple weeks later, brother.

I'd rather see 1993. I'd love to see the reaction to the Wrestlemania IX's ending as it went down.

They should have gone all out with CJ Parker's hippie gimmick by giving him a jam band gimmick. All matches would last for four hours and his finisher would be playing a 26 minute guitar solo that made his opponent just feel the music, maaaaan. He has to have a stupid signature move called "Bass Nectar" Nah, his specialty is the Phisherman Suplex.

worth also watching Beach Black 92 and Great American Batch 92 as well If WCW had booked Beach Black to be the guy to take down the dominant monster heel Vader in 92, they would have never had to sign Hogan, create Nitro or book the nWo angle to have WWF on the ropes.

everyone in WWE being shitheads who legitimately find such bollocks funny. Well, the story I heard was that Eugene was based on a real guy who'd come backstage sometimes to meet the wrestlers, who would then make fun of him as soon as he was gone so...
