I love Ryback. I was so pissed when they turned him heel a few years back so he could be fed (no pun intended) to Cena. Thankfully it looks like his career is back on track.

Why do wrestlers have to wrestle for the hard camera in the first place? The same reason backstage segments all have merchandise posters on the wall, colored lighting in the background, and everybody stands tilted to each other so their face hits the camera, creating some really dumb looking segments. Today's product is performed for the television viewer, not for the fans in the audience. Look at Cena's entrance these days. Even when he faces the crowd opposite hard camera he still holds up the belt so the television viewer sees the front of it.

Kevin Dunn hates "unique". Everything must look and feel exactly the same.

It really is horrible for the product.
Watch an old school battle royal then watch the one from WM 31 where every major spot and elimination was for the hard camera. Just looks so fake.

I don't know what's unnatural about that. I often see NBA players give up a chance at an open jumper in the corner so that he can take the ball to the top of the key and shoot a shot that will look better on SportCenter. This is a discussion for another thread, but ESPN has been quite damaging to sports over the past decade.

I know it's an order from Dunn, but I really hate how wrestlers will shift in the ring to obviously get in position for the hard camera. Completely takes me out of the match.

I'd be shocked that he got that good at acting and was taken that seriously. Certainly wouldn't feel like "f*** you Rock shoulda been here putting over Kofi" or anything. I think you're spot on with the biopic. Not sure who it would be though, because Rock is ROCK in all of his movies, he always sticks out because he's huge and has a distinctive face/voice/acting style. Remember how the WWE at first tried to distance themselves from The Wrestler...that is until it was serious Oscar Buzz and suddenly the WWE turned it into a WrestleMania angle. Just imagine how badly the WWE would try to piggyback off the success of Dwayne Johnson.

Joe was amazing, and proves the dude still can act and help make a good movie.
Problem is he also does a lot of shit movies, which i'm assuming he does for the money.

Well, it might be the Final Coundown for AMP Impact Implosion. Hopefully you and Mike will get to do other things for Angry Marks. Not to refer to the competition, but I'm really gonna miss Review-an-Impact. The worst part about all of this is that TNA Impact is basically a lame duck program, meaning that either Dixie will go nuts in finding yet another home for TNA, or they realize they reached the end of the road and treat it in a sullen fashion. You know, assuming they don't change when Impact airs (and let's be honest, they will), the final Impact will be on September 30th, my birthday. Oh, what a gift. We share the same birhday

Swagger needs to pin Resev once I don't care if Ziggler has to zigzag Rusev while the ref is distracted in a Swagger match. He needs the win for what Rusev did to Zeb and yes Zeb should come back Guy was gold as a manager. Swagger should have been the first to defeat Rusev clean. It would have been the rare example of two midcard guys elevating each other into an upper-level position solely through the strength of their grudge against one another. I really hope Swagger's used as a legitimate threat sometime soon, heck have Triple H go against him instead of his Neverending band of middle-aged part-timers. It would have been an awesome moment if Swagger finally beat Rusev at WrestleMania but everybody knows that John Cena is the REAL Real American on the roster, not Swagger. :/ I hope Swagger is back on TV soon, and with Zeb Coulter. It sucks when a person is punished after needing time off for surgery.

If Russo argued that wrestlers need to be booked strongly to make people care about them, that would be fine. The problem is that Russo's attitude tends to be that wrestlers need to be booked to not wrestle, because no one cares about wrestling. Russo looks at the wrestling business and genuinely doesn't understand why anyone watches that athletic stuff that takes place in the ring. His ideal wrestling company is one entirely consisting of non-wrestling segments and angles. Here's the thing bro, you gotta be invested in the STORRRRY, otherwise it's just 2 dudes in their underwear pretending to hurt wach other.

They are still around? I loved that podcast a few years ago but I thought they put an end to it. On another note, anybody have any experience using a OUYA sustem for retro gaming? Was thinking of buying one soon. They did a kickstarter and have been back for over a year. Its under a new feed but the name is the same and so are most of the players After you mentioned them, I went on my Podcasts app and saw that they have been making new episodes since 2013. I have a huge backlog to go through now, excellent!

Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Ricky Steamboat both were career faces with the WWF/E.
