http://finisher.wwe.com/040423.html I'm sorry, but I'm just laughing my ass off at the fact that Batista listens to "trans-" [trance?] house music.
-
This guy was Jubuki? Or am I thinking of something else? Kinda odd that he'd be allowed onto any part of TSM, regardless of the forums...
-
Hell yes. Or even better, a smarmy heel alliance between Edge, Christian & Trish [plus Tyson] would be cool too.
-
That would turn out to be severly annoying..

Dudes, the original DVD is only $10.99 Canadian at most HMV stores...
-
Mmmmmm Jena Malone....

Thank fucking god I'm not the only one..

Dude, take IMDB with a grain of salt. All of their information is submitted by various users.
-
..and even if the brand extension wasn't in effect, they're still the same titles, same lineage, etc.

He probably has to be in the ring. He probably blew all of the money from his hey-day on nose candy and prostitutes.

You know, I was just thinking. WWE brings a lot of this shit down on itself. I remember when their site first came out, and it was "the place to be" - and was all "insider" and shit. Then, a few years later, their stance is all "kayfabe 24/7" and "we hate the internet!" Yet they still have an internet presence, not to mention articles that are written by their wrestlers out-of-character. Yet we get blamed for exposing the business. They put programs like Tough Enough on the air, which is pretty much ALL ABOUT exposing the business, and yet.. the IWC still takes the blame. If they want to fix all of this shit, then maybe they should start in their own fucking back yard before they go harping on us. ..and if Ric Flair doesn't like me using the word 'kayfabe' - well boo-hoo, Mr. DVD can just go suck my left nut.

I'm not saying we shouldn't, ever. I'm saying we shouldn't have to. I'm not saying go up to said wrestler if you ever see him and start a conversation using his real name. I'm talking about general conversation. If I'm talking on the net [or anywhere else] to someone about the career of a certain wrestler and it's too taboo for me to mention his real name.. then fuck that. That is what I find pretentious. It's just a matter of figuring out where to draw the line. Fanboys striking up convos in the parking lot or a autograph signing with a wrestler, okay, I agree there. But if I'm a fan, who works somewhere that a wrestler frequents, using his real name [say, a car rental agency, etc] then I'm not exactly going to feel like a goon if I use his real name.

LMAO - some nimrod on IMDB called this movie the "greatest love story of all time" - my eyes hurt from rolling them once I read that.
-
I don't see why we shouldn't be allowed to call him Glen. People aren't always referring to the wrestler's character when talking about him. But, back on the original topic, I still stand by my initial statement.. we as fans have invested time and money into this form of entertainment, and I feel that if we want to use "insider terminology" or "real names" or whatever, than we can... especially when it concerns a publicly traded company like WWE.
-
I'm not so sure that that would be a more accurate example. Wrestlers are playing characters. A musician who goes by a stage name isn't, most of the time. Nikki Sixx is still Nikki Sixx off stage, Axl Rose. Tommy Lee. Whoever. Whereas, for example Kane, isn't Kane outside of the ring. He's Glen Jacobs. Just like James Gandolfini isn't Tony Soprano, he's James Gandolfini. It's just a case of certain wrestlers being to uppity and self-imporant for their own good. What's next? Users on this board freaking out if someone calls them by their name! VIVISECTVI: "That's it! I have no respect for anyone who calls me Bill! It's VIVISECTVI damnit!!"
-
You're right. From now on I will only refer to Hugh Jackman as "Wolverine" and Thomas Jane as "The Punisher" - it makes total sense! What in the world was I thinking?! Fuck that shit. I've been putting money in these guys' pockets since I was a kid, I can use whatever terminology I want. If Flair doesn't like it, maybe he should take a step back and stop frying his brain with all of that bleach, because it's having an adverse effect.

Dude, seriously, lay off the crack.
-
Fuuuuuuuuuuck, I come home last night to find that my VCR - once again - fucked up and didn't tape the show. Argh.
-
Dude, is that Muta & Molly [aka Miss Madness] in your sig?
-
RE: the 4H, gotta agree with that one. Hands down. ..and wow, about the whole "fans using insider talk" and him coming back to the internet. Yet, I wonder how much $$ WWE would lose if the internet magically disappeared tomorrow...

From Rajah, Maybe it's just me, but I could've sworn he's fought over there as the Undertaker in years past. Wasn't he in a match against Shinzaki [Hakushi]?
