DaVinci code will outgross X3. Bank on it. X3 may have a bigger opening weekend.... all comic book movies do. Not that I'm going to the movies anytime soon. Movie theatres fucking suck. Poseiden looks like fucking shit.

Well, that'll do it. How old are you in actuality, Bob? 23? And, yeah, Jenna is incredibly cute. Still need to see her Tromo movie. (Not a typical Troma movie) called lolli-something. Stubble looks good on you. Groom that shit like Rick Rude.

Bob... How did you go from 12 to 45 in a year? Plus.... I'm jealous. And for the love of all that is holy, bend the fucking brim on your caps!

But... But... the Lohan movie has a stuntman doing a shooting-star press! ***

Here's a tangent: Stinko Malenko I have a ton of his matches. And they're ALWAYS good. Sometimes the mat wrestling in puro Jr's feels like such a formality, but he always makes these segments really, really entertaining. That said, while I like pretty much all his matches from the early 90's time period, not a one really sticks out. (Ok, when the 'iceman' beat Lyger and started jumping up and down, celebrating a'la Owen Hart, that stuck out) Is Malenko/Guerrero 2/3 from ECW his best match? Don't get me wrong, it's a terrific match, an incredible story, and the crowd just rules. The 'please don't go' chants are incredible. And Joey Styles is at his best, explaining the story, and increasing the passion of the match. But is that his best match?

I really, really like Maeda/Fujinami too. And the match was cut short by a brutal spin-kick. Fujinami MUST have been concussed by that kick. He bled all over the fucking place. Maybe I just like watching people getting the shit beat out of them and coming back. The one shot that will always make me feel a little sick is the shot of Misawa bleeding out of his ear in that match. He hoists himself up, and blood runs from the fucking inside of his ear down his face. That Kawada's a sick bastard. Made even more apparent by him literally breaking Misawa's fucking face in the Champions Carny.

Nobody's debating your enjoyment of the match! Nobody;s pulling a Chris Coey and saying "if you like this match, you're an idiot". Andre/Hogan. again had a better match than anyone could've expected. I enjoyed the match when I watched it. I have no desire to see it again. I'm not one to rank matches, but who cares? You enjoyed Andre/Hogan. It drew a huge crowd. You think it's a good match, I don't. You did a pbp that would make JR blush, and I still don't see it. Let it stand. EDIT: And if crowd enthusiasm was a determining factor in how good a match was, we'd have Tokyo Dome and Bingo Hall shows and nothing else.

It better fucking be. If people liked the JLI, what's the point of killing them off? Why don't we kill off Bats and Martian Manhunter, too? Then we can have a really great series with Fire and Guy Gardner? /entertained, but a little bitter.

Um, Andre/Hogan isn't a very good match. A historic match? Yes. Better than expected? Yes. And while I'm answering my own question.. Totally watchable? Yes. But It's not a good wrestling match. Really. If you're going by crowd heat, any Tokyo Dome show kills WWE. Or with my limited experience, Lucha crowds are even crazier. I've seen a couple Lucha matches that sucked, and people were literally crying in the stands.

Those are some vicious, vicious punches and kicks, my man. Hatred. That's why that match is, in my eyes, the best I've ever seen. You cannot watch that match and suspend belief. And Hokuto can sell like it's nobody's business. And bleed like Flair.

I think so. I don't know the date, but it's '93. Dreamslam is the name of the event. I think you have the match in question. EDIT: It's bloody as hell.

Ok, I just rewatched Hokuto/Kandori and Thunderqueen. Both of these matches have little context to me. Both of these matches may be the very best I've ever seen. If you know Joshi, hook me up with some recommendations. I'm looking to buy a comp tape, However, I really have no sense of history or storylines, other than what's told in the match. What made me appreciate Misawa/Kawada '94 is seeing their history, and previous bouts. (and even if you want to go back, the Jumbo/Misawa bouts)

I don't know, I have it on tape. It's fucking incredible. You have to get past the annoyance of harsh, shrill, Japanese women screaming. But it's so great. It's worth buying Dreamslam. I would put it like... the long term selling is excellent, a'la Flair/Steamboat. The offense is fucking cringe-worthy. Basically, great selling, GREAT story. crazy moves. It's the best of all 3 worlds.

After rewatching Hokuto/Kandori, I think I can safely say it's the best singles match ever. It's effin' incredible.

Bastard. Angela is actually beautiful when she smiles. Ryan's one of the writers, right?

Rudo should recap every match ever. Or at least pursue a career in writing. Shit, me cleaning up my apartment would sound more epic than Godzilla vs. Gamera through his eyes. That's not an insult, that was, as they say, a masterful "word picture". Now if Rudo would recap GOOD matches. Do Thunderqueen!

If I had known a Danza impersonation was coming up, I may have stuck around. Never fails to crack me up.

I just wanted to say, i LOVE Maeda/Fujinami. As for Hogan/Andre? It's fun to watch. Twice. I have no desire to watch that match again, heat or no. It's NOT a great wrestling match. Just because the crowd marks the fuck out for Andre OR Baba, it doesn't make their matches good. I hear Baba had good matches in the early '70's. Sorry. It pains me to see Kawada and Taue selling his weak-ass motherfucking chops. He's the equiva;ent of Hogan. Hogan CANNOT EVEN DROP THE LEG. Retire. Please.

I turned it off during Caitlin. I mean, I like Amy Poehler, but this was the most annoying, grating sketch I've ever seen. I couldn't fucking STAND it. And I've sat through half an episode of MAD TV.

I've never seen this opnion expressed, ever. And I can't see where they're coming from. I don't want to be an ass, but I can probably think of at least 10 better WWF/e matches off the top of my head. And, just to rereiterate, I really like the match. It's a terrific fucking match.

Well, everyone knows they're my favorite band, ever. Along with the Velvet Underground. The new album, which you can stream (and I did) in its entirety sorta... sucks. Well it doesn't suck but it sounds like half of Murray Street and Sonic Nurse. The reason I loved Sonic Youth were they had crazy unique chords, that I hadn't heard. I don't mind their hippy sensibility at all. Rain On Tin Kills. It just Kills. And they repeated themselves just once, if at all. Rather Ripped? A lot like Cromulantly Crappy. Not that it's bad. Kim's toned it down for years, and she;s actually the best part of the album, vocally. but the good songs sound like weak spectres of Murray Street and Sonic Nurse. So, So, Dissappointed.

Either way it's RIDICULOUS! We spent hours of pouring over footage my ass. As I said. I really like WMXVII Austin/Rock I really, really like that match. But if you judge it AGAINST 20 fucking YEARS of wrestling: it doesn't compare. As I said, at LEAST 20 US matches are better, in the last 10 years. If you're talking just BIG MATCHES. What's Flair/Funk doing there (a match that I LOVE)? Why isn't Sting/Hogan there? It was such a BIG match. It's certainly not a bad list of matches. But when you bloviate about your research... shit I' may be more knowledgable than him, and I've just got some Schneider Comps. Hell, I'd pay $50 in a heartbeat for a compilation of those matches, even though I have two thirds of them. I just think, don't try to pass yourself off as an expert. And don't fucking make excuses for it either. Man, I've seen quite a few better matches than were on that list, and I don't think I've watched a wrestling match in a year. EDIT: IT'S TO WHIT, not to wit TO WIT!

BTW, even though it's a hilarious show, I am SO invested in the Jim/Pam relationship like a 14 yo girl (you know a lot of 14 yo girls?) Best couple ever in a sitcom. Ever. It is a bit too soon, but, but. Well I just watched the 6-hour Pride & Prejudice, and dammit, Go for it Jim. Go for it Pam. I know if this show's successful we'll have a fucking sitcom moment, but that felt natural, real, and completely unaffected. Pam is so goddamn cute. And Jim is fucking cuter. And as was said, it was done in a realistic way. A way every cute nerd guy, and every cute nerd girl could relate to. I mean GAY nerd. Who sniffs jockstraps. And does mothers.

I sure hope there's a sequel to Octagon or Deltron. Well, Apparently, Keith and Automator had a falling out. Damn fucking shame. Dan the Automator's the shit, but he needs to be paired with a clever rapper. Handsome boy modelling club is sorta mediocre, IMO. The first Body Count album should have some consideration. I don't think it's quite 'classic', but it still fucking cuts like a knife. EDIT: I just looked up the Automator on wikipedia, I had no idea he did Stereotype A. Another album I love of his.

A college class that takes attendance? Fuck that! My crowning achievment was going to Calc II (the hardest of the calcs, IMO) for: the first test, the three tests and the final. A- Of course then engineering prob/stat was so hard (and I'm good at basic prob/stat!) That I had to take it twice. Karma's a bitch. Fucking Fourier. No one likes you.
