[quote name='Halo05']At this point I've about given up on seeing The Wrestler in a theater. My fiancee simply cannot be persuaded to care about this movie. Girls are stupid.[/QUOTE]

Go without her?
 
[quote name='Sporadic']Go without her?[/QUOTE]

Nah. It's too weird for me to see movies in theaters alone. Well, at least I'm assuming so. It always weirded me out to see other people do it. Then again, I'm 99% sure that I'd like the movie so maybe I'll suck it up and be that creepy guy.

EDIT - Nevermind, I just checked all my local theaters. No Wrestler for me. At least I can see fucking Paul Blart. If I ever see Kevin James in real life that fat piece of shit better run.
 
I don't feel proud of myself, but i downloaded the screener copy because I thought it was going to be one of those ho-hum movies


....that movie made me want to put on some damn clothes and go to a theatre!

it might be the first movie i buy....EVER. yep, it's that damn good. only a few parts where i went "...???? why is this here????"

You won't go by yourself because you'll "get in trouble".

IIRC (and this was from Mick Foley's book) Holly lifted Al Snow up for a suplex and pulled his tights a little bit too much to the side, revealing Snow's junk, surrounded by a rather dense forest. He held it like that for at least ten seconds.
 
[quote name='pitfallharry219']The only time I ever came close to even thinking about liking Holly was when he was with Crash.[/QUOTE]

Yep, the best thing I could every associate with him, was when the Holly Family was together. RIP Crash :cry:

So did 360 users ever get the DLC yet? After watching smackdown!, I kinda want to make Kurt Angle 2.0 AKA Jake Swagger and remake Michelle, as well as just play some matches. Maybe even further my progress in that last "Hall of Fame" achievement.

I remember that as well, Foley's ribs on Al Snow was a highlight of the first book, his Test bashing in the 2nd book just wasn't as hilarious.
 
So Randy Orton attacked a fan at a house show. I'm shocked. Not really. The guy seems to have major attitude problems. Not too long ago he trashed his hotel room, somehow managing to do $25K worth of damage.

Then again, if your father got caught blowing Juventud Guerrera you would have issues too. Especially if you called Juvy first. It's like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade gone Tijuana... and gay.
 
What I get out of it is that Survivor Charlie's dad got caught blowing Juventud Guerrera, so now Charlie has issues with Randy Orton's behavior. Or something.
 
[quote name='mykevermin']I'm not sure what any of that means.[/QUOTE]

Randy Orton attacked a fan at a house show and I blamed it on his pent-up rage over the embarrassment of his father having a well known sexual fling with Juventud Guerrera. What's there not to understand?

:rofl: What? Is that true?

Your armchair psychology is not very good. That's what I understand.
 
[quote name='Blackout']:rofl: What? Is that true?[/QUOTE]

Who knows... it's one of those 'rasslin rumors' that guys hear in the lockerroom. It's not as funny as Randy Savage getting black listed for fucking 15 year-old Stephanie McMahon, but it's close enough.
 
If Punk loses again for the 3rd. straight week tonight equals:

Martin Luther King, Jr's dream is realized every time Cryme Tyme come out to chants of "MONEY MONEY, YEAH YEAH" and JTG flashes his grill.
 
[quote name='guyver2077']punk cant lose.. tonights from chicago...[/QUOTE]

Right...

Just like Cena can't job in Boston or Edge can't job in Toronto, or Shawn can't lose the Royal Rumble in San Antonio.

Never got the logic in that. That line of thinking is what leads to delusional Canadians getting screwed.
 
I was about to throw a fit if they had Punk break the armbar when Regal grabbed the ropes. Instead, we get the awesome "I'm don't have to break the hold, I'm gonna break his arm!!!"

Also, they need to put Layla's ass on tv more.
 
[quote name='Survivor Charlie']Right...

Just like Cena can't job in Boston or Edge can't job in Toronto, or Shawn can't lose the Royal Rumble in San Antonio.[/quote]Cena can't job anywhere, though. And HBK seems to job everywhere. Good match and good win for Punk.
 
What a shame the Chicago crowd is on CM Punk's nuts so much. He is so boring.

If only he said things like fart juice or had an awesome people's elbow rip-off.
 
Twas an okay match. I'm not a big fan of Punk's finisher though. Sometimes it looks okay (like tonight) and sometimes it looks like shat (like most other nights).

If you're talking about Cena, he's garbage too.
 
You know, this title storyline is actually really, really good. It's well written and well developed, and shows some semblance of weakness/doubt in the champion retaining the title. Kudos to WWE writers.

That said, (1) it's still, to me, wholly, wholly, laughably, pathetically, ridiculously fucking *UN*believable that Shawn Michaels is down on his luck financially. I don't care if it's a slap in the face to those wrestlers who are living hand to mouth, because that's none of my business. It's simply unbelievable. As believable as, say, Scotty Goldman getting a shot at Jeff Hardy's championship at the Royal Rumble would be. Also, (2) I simply don't give a good goddamn about Cena at all. His presence in a very good storyline clouded the fact that it has been very good until I just saw a video recap of the feud and thought "hey, that's pretty good for WWE!" So I can recognize that it's good, and if you're a Cena fan, then this is probably a genius feud. But it has the makings of very good wrestling, but unfortunately, the wrong players.

It simply is not believable because of HBK's involvement, and it lacks any sort of doubt about the champ's retaining the title because...well, because it's Cena.

They should have used it to push a mid-carder into the main event. Bobby "The Brain" Heenan sold Hercules to The Million Dollar Man in a moment that could have been the foundation for this feud. Now, Hercules immediately turned on DiBiase and went face (bad, bad, bad fuckin' idea from a booking perspective) - but Hercules wasn't a main eventer. He was a midcard muscle guy for Heenan. A step above The Red Rooster. So if you put Mysterio in that spot, or Big Show, or someone else? Yeah, I might believe someone was foolish with their money. But HBK? I may be a mark, but I'm not no fuckin' stupid mark.

EDIT: Wow, that beat down went over about as well as premature ejaculation typically does.
 
Why is it so unbelievable that a bible-thumping born-again Christian hayseed ex-junkie republican would squander all his money away by placing groundless faith in the Bush economy? Hell, it's the most true-to-life storyline the WWE could possibly write.
 
Cryme Tyme vs. Miz/Morrison for a title shot on MLK Day and on the eve of the swearing in of the first black president?

I'm biting mynails to see who comes out on top for this match.
 
That brief talk b/w Goldust and Cody was to hawk the Starrcade DVD set, but I'll be damned if that wasn't the most emotionally poignant segment on the show thus far. I know wrestling's a work, but I would love to see Cody get his ass handed to him by Goldust now. A great segment because (1) it worked, (2) it forced the merchandise without forcing the merchandise too much, and (3) it got a lot of important points across without wasting too much time. Brilliantly done.

Which means, of course, they'll never follow up on it (or, at best, do a one-shot, no-hype, bathroom-break-timeframe 4 minute match with Cody dominating Goludst due to Orton-ference).

Someone tell pro wrestling that, on the whole, camera shots of limos pulling up are vapid, cliche, and boring.

EDIT: Oh yeah, or Goldust will get fired for namedropping Sting on WWE TV. ;)
 
I'm suprised they had Dustin do that out of character


Also, damn, Candice looked good again, now to turn her back into an extra slutty heel.
 
I wish WWE gave storyline contracts instead of signing people by years. It'd keep that "Anything can happen in the WWE!" feeling alive.

//edit: LOL @ the crowd chanting "On your knees!" when Stephanie told Jericho to apologize to the crowd. I wonder if those were played over the PA and the crowd joined in, or if that was completely ad-libbed.

I'm amazed they haven't name dropped someone like Madoff at all during this storyline, unless I missed it.
