I really hope they take him up on the non-wrestling role offer.
He was my first hero in wrestling. When I was little it was Sting, not Hogan, that I adored. If this is the end of his wrestling career, then all he'll ever have is my gratitude for entertaining me for years and really being the performer that got me into wrestling in the first place.

My biggest worry throughout has been the heavy handed studio presence in this. It just seems like a bunch of executives are having these ideas and then shoe-horning them through the underlings whether they fit or not. I think the first one worked because it was an oddball passion project from the mind of Dan Akroyd and tempered by Harold Ramis with some of the key humor fine tuned by Bill Murray. If this was born from Kristen Wigg in the same manner, I think it would show better. Here's hoping my fears are unfounded, but I'm getting really worried.

Good grief was that intense! I really love this theme of movies! A lot of thrills using the unseen and unanswered as a driving force! Plus the fact that they are like these fun puzzles one gets to try to solve. I still hear people quibble over what little details mean what on the first one. I want so much more of this its not even funny! {Spoiler} And this is not a gimmick thing on my part I promise, but did anyone else notice all of the freaking ducks all over this movie? The most obvious being the shower curtain, but there were little statues and signs all over with ducks on them, and not just in the bunker. I kept wondering what that meant.

He's a terrible copy of Cena's awkward humble corny Superman routine. He needs to be a bad ass. Period. Be it heel or face, that's what got him to the dance so to speak and now its just weird and off balance.

Ugh. I got the Network again cause I wanted to get back into the swing of things leading up to Mania. This pile set up exactly jack and shit other than The Rock's annoying cousin facing HHH. No big run ins or surprise appearances setting anything up. The Owens match was good and the main even was OK even though I hoped that after being away I wouldn't have been "Romaned" again. Well, at least I get to catch up on NXT again. That's always been fun.
Edit: The AJ Styles Jericho match was also pretty legit. Its cool seeing him get big pops. I would not have predicted that but its a really pleasant surprise

I voted Nexus leader Barret. BNB is a really REALLY close second to me, but damn did he fascinate me with a legit top-tier heel routine so damned early in his run. It all stemmed from him being able to sell the package of the Nexus as a real threat and him as the force behind it all. It was just so rare and I personally was beyond impressed with how he took all that was at hand and helped spin it into gold.

As someone who was once upon a time a part of that elite group let me let you all in on a little secret. About one in five of us was just a glitch. Nobody approved us whatsoever. One day its like "Whoa green name and more access! Kewl!". Nobody knows how it happens. So one day maybe one of you lucky lads or lassies will just wake up and find that you too are now a glorious (and EXTREMELY well payed) mod at this illustrious institution.

I haven't watched in a few months. Is JBL really as bad/worse than King now? How is that even possible?

Maybe the dialogue with your mom can help transition into one with your father. Don't know you or what other aspects of your relationship with him are like so its hard to say specifically. Do you feel he supports you in general in your life, this issue aside? First off, thanks for the support. Again, it mean a lot. As for my dad... (Note: It might sound like I'm rambling, but it will make sense eventually. I promise.) On one hand, my father is the type of guy who thinks his kids can do anything and will defend us till his death. He is so supportive of my writing, for example, that he was actively disappointed in me when I told him I got a fulltime job. In the same token, no one was happier than him to hear that I was downsized due to a merger. On the flipside, he is also an emotional train wreck whose feelings get hurt ridiculously easy. It's the Beverley Goldberg "I failed you as a mother" stereotype, only done by a guy and with everyone he knows. (As you can probably guess, my mom is the calm, logical one in the relationship.) At the same time, he is also a classic stubborn, stuck in the old ways Italian that can hold a grudge for decades. (His father was the same way in that regard. Case in point: The entire family was "forbidden" to go to Sears for eight years because of a fight he had with a tractor salesman. We went anyway.) And in good "old world" fashion, he doesn't let you forget it. I still hear about things I did when I was four. No, that is not an exaggeration. So to recap: My father is an overly sensitive, stubborn jackass who clearly remembers when his feelings are hurt. Which again, is pretty much all of the time for reasons often too minor to mention. It is a combination that logically should not exist, but it does. And man, it's annoying. Having my mom talk to him about it won't help. She once told him that a trans woman she saw on the TV was pretty attractive. She wasn't saying anything particularly progressive; just that the person looked like something other than Benny Hill in a dress. That fight lasted for two days, most of which was centered around how her parents are awful people who treated him like utter shit for years for no other reason than he was an Italian with a college degree. They most certainly are that rotten and they most certainly did all of that (and so much more), but it ultimately had nothing to do with the topic at hand. But it didn't matter though. All the dirty laundry comes out when he's offended or upset. This is what would happen to me, only a million times worse. Every lie I told when I was fourteen, every sport I couldn't play, every slight that a normal person would have forgotten minutes after it happened... It would all be thrown back in my face. It would be an audio retelling of all of my screw-ups, all because I can't "get with" gender norms and "act like a man." Honestly, I would rather stay in the closet. I do have one saving grace though: The wife and I live eleven hours away. We talk to them every week, but only physically see them at most twice a year. It makes it things easier than if, say, they lived around the corner, but it's far from perfect. I still have play the role "virile, heterosexual guy" over the phone, which kills me a little inside. Still better than the alternative though. One more thing: The post above makes my dad sound like either the worst person ever or an emotionally abusive crazy man. He isn't. Really. He's just stuck in his ways. Yeah, I dig that. My father is a great and kind man. However I'm a bit on the flaky side when it comes to being "an adult". Basically I'm not super good at it a lot of time and I can't seem to find anyone willing to take my resignation. He will go on and on and on and talk at me in circles about things, including aspects about me that are painful and that I can not control. So I certainly know, while most definitely not in the same way, a similar deal. There is one aspect of myself that it took years and years of repeating for him to finally grasp regardless of any facts for him to conceive of it. He still seems to slip and forget from time to time. All that said, we each have our own story weighted by things on either side of us tipping our choices one way or the next. Only you can measure truly which is heavier. Either choice is valid. Just do right by you.

He didn't look how you were supposed to look. He didn't sound like you were supposed to sound like. He took that, he embraced that, and he channeled it into something not only entertaining, but pretty inspirational and relateable. Its not about being perfect, its about being passionate. Its not about being a great person, its about being a great you. R.I.P. Dusty Rhodes.

The net was in fact around and D-Lo was in fact desired to have a push by the denizens of the internet of old. Dean Malenko also got a lot of love from what I vaguely recall.

Right now he still exists as something I never ever enjoyed in wrestling, the unnatural and totally forced push. Even Goldberg, who was easily one of the most successful brands of this, had me rolling my eyes pretty much right from the start. What's almost worse is that he's never felt anything more than a big dude taking up space that either doesn't feel he needs to work on his charisma or is just incapable of it. So he really REALLY needs to kick it up a notch, have his own "Die Rocky Die" moment or whatever and get to the point where he isn't just the tall guy from the Shield. Because right now that is all I see. There were two guys who had personalities and that big dude who'd do power moves in the group. He looks like the high school jock who is hanging out in the parking lot a few years after graduation still wearing his letter jacket. I don't know what he is or is not capable of and I don't know what they will or won't let him do, but I do know that just being that same old one dimensional character that just screams "PLEASE LIKE ME!" is uncomfortable and pretty unwatchable.

For me it was Zack, Lisa and Mr. Belding in that order, but everybody had their moments. This a thousand times for me as well. Wanted to be Zack, date Lisa, and have Belding be my principal. The others were OK, but didn't come close to this holy trinity.

Is it more money for him, or more money for the show that he wants? I feel like its unclear. If its the former it puts a sour taste in my mouth about Lynch unless they were truly offering him chicken-feed. If it is the latter than it ups my respect for the man. Either way I'm gonna give it a try if it still gets made. That show has always been a personal favorite

I keep wondering if there is any actual hope of them putting out another Final Fantasy that actually has Fantasy in it. I'm currently at the very end of IX after a play through from VI to IX and I keep wondering why it feels as if all they want to throw out now is this odd sci-fi junk with no special or fun characters and environments. Playing through the a fore mentioned games makes me feel as if Square will only put that kind of feel in Kingdom Hearts. While I like KH its not even remotely the same. Not that X was terrible, but it just felt from then on they keep phasing out a lot of the elements that endeared me to the franchise and that maybe I'm better off just being done with it

Perhaps a Running Man entrance where he wears the yellow jump suit. Jesse Ventura can even reprise his role as Captain Freedom!
