King Kamala

Yeah, this show isn't quite as bad as its reputation but it certainly isn't very good. Only Strike Force/Demolition, the main event, and Steamboat/Valentine stand out for me as really solid matches. I have a lot of nostalgia for it being one of the first tapes I owned but it's probably near the bottom if I were to list my favorite Manias.

Boy, I've got a bad feeling that Kahran is going to take the guy I've got in mind for my next pick. If not him, then Al. I really should start creating a list for these next rounds.

I don't know why the hell people would vote in this tournament if they haven't heard of half of the songs or even the artists. I mean I wouldn't vote in a Best Song of the 1930s tournament and be like "Rudy Vallee? That chick has a stupid name!" I guess it doesn't make any less sense than the people who seemingly hate '90s music voting in this thread. Anyways my picks; Montell Jordan- "This Is How We Do It" (Hopefully Howie Do It hasn't ruined this song's chances to make the Final Four and beyond) Snoop Dogg- "Gin and Juice" ("Groove Is In The Heart" is a fun song but this song just screams '90s) Warren G (ft. Nate Dogg)- "Regulate" (the battle between this and "This Is How We Do It" will be truly epic) Jay-Z- "Can I Get A..." Nirvana- "Heart Shaped Box" The Smashing Pumpkins- "1979" (Glad to see this one move on another round) R.E.M.- "Losing My Religion" Tom Cochrane- "Life Is A Highway" (For Inc) Skee-Lo- "I Wish" (Let's get the man to the Sweet 16. Pleasantly surprised to see him make it this far) 2-Pac- "California Love" (This is a battle of hip hop songs liked by people I know that don't normally like hip hop. Going off on a brief tangent here but I knew a guy who absolutely hated hip hop but he really liked DMX. What? He only liked shitty hip hop? Glad to see there weren't any DMX songs nominated even if he has been a good source of unintentional comedy over the years. ) Beastie Boys- "Sabotage" (Pretty good song, one of the better videos of the '90s) Red Hot Chili Peppers- "Under The Bridge" (Yeah, The Offspring were pretty lame. I enjoy "Under The Bridge" sort of despite myself) New Radicals- "You Get What You Give" (I really hope this makes it. One of my favorite singles of the '90s and "Creep" really isn't one of Radiohead's better songs by any stretch of the imagination) Sinead O'Connor- "Nothing Compares 2 U" (Love this song) Lisa Loeb- "Stay" (Let's keep the Cinderella run going. Keep it going for all the sensitive singer-songwriters and the hot chicks with glasses!) Meat Loaf- "I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" (This one's for BUTT)

Yeah, I got more of a male stripper vibe than a gay tag team. Though virtually all cowardly heel teams have had their homoerotic moments. And it's serial pillist instead of piller because we're merely repeating what Yuna called him in the Heath Ledger thread where the theory made its debut.

(see Old School Wrestling questions thread) Wow- two posts, both dedicated to Zeus! I commend your efforts, sir.

Saw I Love You, Man today. Really good stuff, probably Jason Segal's best film role to date. Heck, virtually everyone was good. I think in lesser hands, the movie might have felt kind of predictable and a bit dull but the great comic ensemble really raised it to another level. Plus I'm bound to enjoy any movie that prominently features Lou Ferrigno. Also, there's a sweet reference to Andre The Giant.

I don't think Zeus Vs Hogan was ever set in stone as a 'Mania event...I think Vince might have thought that if the feud had worked out well enough, Zeus/Hogan could work as the main event WrestleMania VI but like I said I don't think it was ever set in stone. Just a possible avenue to go down (I believe Hogan/Perfect was another potential WrestleMania VI main event).

You know watching it again, Hall's initial promo is pretty lousy but I guess the shock of seeing him on Nitro was 10x more than enough to put the segment over. Anyways some more career highlights Match is 10x more entertaining with the commentary en Espanol.

I've had way too many dreams involving wrestling over the years (for incquiring minds, none of them were wet dreams) and in this thread, I'll share some of the most notable ones. My favorite one was one I had about five or six years ago. In the dream, I was attending an indy show at the armory up the street where the local indy fed ran monthly at the time.For some reason, the crowd was incredibly small, even by local indy standards and I was sitting by myself for some reason. Besides myself, there were only about a dozen fans there. Anyways, I was sitting in the front row watching the main event which was The Road Warriors (this was shortly before Hawk's death) against a pair of faceless, scrawny jobbers. The match only lasted about ninety seconds with The Road Warriors getting the decisive win. Incensed at the disappointing main event and performance by the tag team legends- I began to loudly heckle The Road Warriors as they made their way to the back. This raised the ire of the tag team legends- who began lumbering after me. They managed to chase me out of the building into the parking lot. Just as it seemed like I was going to get hit with a Doomsday Device to the concrete- Hulk Hogan pulled in the parking lot in a red and yellow convertible and demanded that "I jump in the Hulkmobile brother!". I hopped into the Hulkmobile and we raced out of the parking lot. The dream ended just as the Road Warrior started giving chase on matching red and black motorcycles. This may be the geekiest thread I've started in my history at TSM. Anybody else got any wrestling related dreams (or nightmares) that they want to share?

Doll and Mike Enos were smart to just walk out of the ring. From my years of watching Nitro, it's clear that when a star makes a run in during a match between two jobbers, jobbers are about to get their asses whooped.

Dunn was probably most famous for being one of the guys in the ring when Scott Hall made his debut on Nitro.

Anybody have former WWF and WCW curtain jerker, Steve Dunn? Yeah, I know probably no one did but I figured it was worth asking anyways.

There was a marathon of Family Matters on BET and for some reason, I was compelled to watch two part "series finale"...man was that some bad television. I don't think that show was ever great but I guess it really fell of the rails after it got kicked off TGIF. Urkel engaged to Laura? Wasn't she supposed to hate him? And Urkel goes to space! That's never a good sign unless it's The Simpsons! It was nice to see Holmes Osbourne randomly get an applause break when he entered as the hard ass former astronaut that recruited Urkel. And has any show replaced/added more characters with no rhyme or reason than Family Matters? Did they think everybody was so enraptured with Urkel that they wouldn't notice? Why am I posting about Family Matters? Waldo Faldo was the real star of the show for my money.

Alright, I promised I wouldn't vote in this tournament but the allure of the Final Four has gotten me. goldengreek: You know what...I don't hate cabbageboy. I vehemently disagree with him on almost everything and think he's a dope but I don't think he's deliberately trying to piss us off in anyway. He's just trying to engage in discourse with us, it just so happens his side of the argument is usually pretty fucking stupid. Besides, it'd be kind of mean (though also kind of funny) to ban someone that I assume is completely unaware of the fact that he's in the tournament or even the fact that 90% of the board really doesn't like him. I don't have anything personal against goldengreek but his behavior in this thread has showed he's no one really worth saving. Enigma: Roho was seemingly pretty fine before everybody turned against him. Enigma sucked when he thought that everybody was cool with him and sucks now that he's aware everybody doesn't like him. Besides I think he's a slightly easier match up for goldengreek.

The Condemned stands out as the creepiest movie audience I've been a part of. Not because of anything they said or anything but solely because of the fact that the audience consisted of me, a friend, and four or five middle aged guys sitting by themselves. It probably looked like a porno movie audience to the usher.

I didn't say it was his best film (you're right, Forgetting Sarah Marshall is better than this and was my favorite comedy of '08) just that it was his best film role. I'm going to go against the grain and say his best role overall was as the creepy, obsessive ex-boyfriend on Undeclared, though obviously Freaks & Geeks is a close second.

No Udo Kier in this clip unfortunately but I swore that he played the doctor in the mental asylum. I must be crazy because I'm looking at DDT Digest's recap and there's a picture of the doctor that isn't very good but I can pretty much tell it is not Udo. Oh well. As to why we don't revive The Shitty WCW Watching club...eh there aren't that many full shows on YouTube or DailyMotion. I don't know a Match of The Week thread might be an interesting idea though.

Damn good pick there, Garth. After I picked DDP a couple rounds back, I swore that I'd pick Kanyon in a couple of rounds as Jarrett's goofball lackey against DDP (obviously, he would have been using the super underrated Positively Kanyon gimmick) and then I totally forgot about that plan. Oh well, win some, lose some

My dad insisted this was David Bowie for the longest time. Guess that's a compliment. Speaking of Bowie, "I'm Afraid of Americans" might not have been a bad selection if a NIN song or two had gotten in. Can't really argue for the inclusion of Bowie's NIN ripoff when NIN didn't get in themselves.

I don't know. It has to be a tossup between one of my cousins and one of my uncles. I wouldn't say I hate either of them but they both annoy me to some extent. My cousin is 16 but has the demeanor and intelligence of an eight year old. The latter is not an exaggeration. One of the most awkward moments at a family gathering was Thanksgiving about five years ago when Mama Kamala made all of the "kids" read a line or two of some really stupid poem before dinner and she quickly discovered that the aforementioned cousin (who was about 9 or 10) at the time couldn't read. Man, that was really awkward. That's what you get for making us read, Ma! Anyways, said cousin really kind of annoys the hell out of everybody in the family and we've all sort of resigned ourselves to the fact that she's probably going to get knocked up by some dope in the next year or two. Kind of depressing. Anyways, she's nice enough and means well but man is she obnoxious. The other one is an Uncle, who I actually just saw for the first time in three years or so yesterday when I went out for breakfast with my Ma, Grandma, Aunt, and him. He's just really loud and obnoxious and kind of an egomaniac. Even though he's really sort of a dick, he's been a source of unintentional comedy for me and my brothers for the time he got thrown out of an All You Can Eat Buffet, the soup and sandwich place he owned for about three months where he refused to serve cops (despite being across the street from the town police department), and the somewhat related incident where he went to jail for about a week for threatening a cop. These incidents really make him seem cooler than he actually is though.

Well, that wasn't bad at all either. I stand corrected and will edit that little line out. I blame it on me confusing Mick Foley calling Flair a terrible booker in one of his books with Flair's actual booking runs. And thanks for derailing my thread, ya jerks!

Wasn't he also responsible for some really terrible stuff in '93/'94ish though? I could just be getting confused.

I had a funny one the other night. I had a dream that the rage virus hit the little town in Vermont where I go to college and I led a group of students to safety to some barn a couple of miles away. In the barn, there was another group of survivors living there led by Tommy Dreamer of all people. The dream ended with a Vince Russo like swerve where me and Tommy went out to get supplies, only to discover that everything had inexplicably returned back to normal and the dream ended with me and him hanging out a giant cookout. Damn that dream was really weird as hell.

I don't know. I think if anything forgoing those last fifteen years of his career (which did have some great moments here and there) would have helped his reputation as the greatest of all time.. I don't think hanging on about a decade too long hurt his legacy as much as some people think but I think his legacy as a an all time great was already well established by '94.

I can't recall him doing one in the theatrical version (Haven't seen the extended cut) but he does a pretty good one in this.
