Agreed. I really can't believe anyone would think Vince's reaction to this would be anything but negative. I fully expect them to try and "bury" the film on their programming, whether it be through commentary or trotting out some legends to give the appearance they are doing much better than depicted.
I'm sure the sight of Melina riding Mickie piggy-back style fulfilled the fantasies of some people out there.
Also - Is Mickie intentionally going for the Lita look in regards to her pants?
I know they were used to emphasize his "Polynesian/Islander" gimmick, but the multi-colored tights he wore in his first WWE run also didn't help his status as a total bad-ass.
The problem, I think, was that casual fans didn't really know Meng/Haku was such a bad-ass in real life. Yeah, his character was tough, but if you didn't read or listen to the stories from other wrestlers... you didn't really know what he was capable of doing.
Good to see the Monday Night Wars roundtable coming up in January. It was pretty damned interesting watching Eric Bischoff navigate his way through that episode.
GFYM
What?
If I had to wager a guess, the "G" stands for go, the "Y" stands for your, and the "M" stands for mother.
Kind of makes the "F" a no brainer, unfortunately.
That is an awesome shot. The light coming off of Morrison's belt makes it that much cooler.
I also like the fact it looks as if they'll be carrying their Slammies around for a while.
Billy Gunn, Lashley, and X-Pac towards the end of his WWE run.
I liked Gunn with the Outlaws, but I hated them trying to push him as the next big thing. Lashley, well, just sucked donkey balls. X-Pac, well, do I even need to go over X-Factor?
Ha...
Judah Friedlander on 30 Rock is wearing a "Cactus Jack: Wanted Dead" shirt and a hat that says "Foley Artist".
(Sorry... couldn't bring myself to put this in the TNA folder)
At my elementary/middle school, myself and maybe a handful of people in my class liked it. (We're talking early to mid 90's here).
Now when I got to high school (1996 - 2000: Basically the entire span of the Monday Night Wars), there were several fans of varying degrees: casual to hardcore. After a Nitro or Raw came to Birmingham, you could see a lot of NWO or Austin/Rock shirts the next day. Myself and a couple of friends, however, were considered the wrestling authorities in my school. It wasn't looked down upon either. All the typical cliques of the school (popular kids to the outcasts) had big wrestling fans in them.
