I believe that opening "Marvel go see" weekend aside, this movie is going to keep going just because it's a really good movie. I don't think they can make an equal movie out of...that.

Looking at the weekend total it looks like it was pretty front loaded with a ton of fans seeing it on opening day so who knows.

It is a really good film i think even if you don't really give a poo poo about comics you can enjoy it as the actors interact so well with each other among other things. Basically go see it!

If this film is the lowest grossing MCU film 3 weeks after it's release I will sing Batista's theme song :toxx:

Let's make it more interesting, if it doesn't get into atleast 5th place on this ranking http://www.boxofficemojo.com/franchises/chart/?id=avengers.htm I will sing his theme :toxx:

I like comics well enough but I don't really care to see another superhero movie at this point so i'll check back with everyone when it's 2017 and I end up watching it because I'm bored and have netflix open.

Popular culture has passed you by.
The source material is so obscure it might as well not be a superhero comic at all and instead be a homage to Flash Gordon or suchlike.

I actually thought about this the other day, about how it would be cool if the site had some way to keep track of Toxes and stuff like that. So you could see a list of people who are about to get banned for not paying up, or see all the whacky poo poo people need to do

I think the only ones I have got going just now are if Bray or Roman gets the WWE Title, or Seth cashes in on Brock, then im gone from here till Mania. Plus the Batista one

At what point did WWE stop developing true heel Main Eventers? Does everyone have to have a silly gimmick or be a face? I feel like they've seriously painted themselves into a corner.

Rollins is the only fresh heel that they have right now. I like Orton but he's been around in the main event scene forever and I've become completely indifferent to Kane. Bray Wyatt probably isn't going to be competing for the belt any time soon and they're burying Cesaro. I guess you could call Lesnar a heel but he almost feels like a Tweener at this point.

Anybody else feel this way or am I just forgetting how the Main Event scene is supposed to work these days?

Bray could easily be a big time heel main eventer but they seem really committed to having the Wyatts lose constantly.

Just watched Angle/Benoit Royal Rumble '03 for the first time, and it hella cool to see a one-on-one match between top tier wrestlers where the whiny heel won clean. Even though he's a giant baby who surrounds himself with bodyguards, he's still an excellent wrestler and he simply out-wrestled the other guy. No interference, no ref bump, no foreign objects, no cheating or even an attempt at cheating. Good poo poo. Also Benoit always seemed like a big idiot for doing the flying headbutt and hurting himself. (anybody have that "IT HURTS" gif handy?)

Yeah, kind of disappointing the way they've been handled. I really want to see them become the new Ministry of Darkness. Not a carbon copy, just the way they are, but a dominant supernatural-ish force that holds the WWE Belt and the Tag Titles.

Oh yeah that's a match where Angle does a moonsault off the cage and Benoit does a flying headbutt off the cage.

Less "what he really is" and more "what the Cena feud turned him into." He really should have been off TV for a while before showing up again to start this Jericho feud, especially since it's a carbon copy of the Cena feud with the only difference being that he might actually be allowed to look good at the end of it.

I came back into this poo poo with Wrestlemania and I loved Bray the moment I saw him. Now I'm just bored of him due to this repetitive poo poo.

From what I gather from talking to friends, this is one of those movies that people would be iffy on seeing, but it's gotten absolutely great word of mouth and managed to draw interest.

Yeah, I was going to wait and catch it on DVD or something, but the good buzz/reviews I read and my theater only costing $5 for the Matinee sold me on it. I saw it on a small, mall-theater screen and still loved it.

If you like marvel films at all, I strongly recommend it. Right now I'd put it just below Avengers and Iron Man 1 and 3 (I liked 3 a lot more than most people, I think), but above the rest of the MCU films which I've generally enjoyed quite a bit.

His doctors cleared him and he does virtually nothing in his matches, it's not a big deal. He really likes doing it. As long as he doesn't have Dolph Ziggler dropping repeated hard elbows to his chest he'll be fine.

Is it really wrestling when you shuffle around the ring for a few minutes, throw some punches, and fall onto your butt at the end?

Nobody move and nobody gets hurt.

Bray really needs to just wreck Jericho at Summerslam, with Rowan and Harper banned from ringside. I know Jericho's recent history has made beating him less of a star-making feat, but I think it would still be effective in re-establishing Bray as a force.

That being said, I expect them to have the Family interfere somehow to set up the third match.

Yeah I'm sure all the times he's talked about his doctor telling him what the elbows did are a work. Gotta keep up the work in every podcast and interview. Plus when word was circulating before he even talked about it in public. If there's one thing Lawler is known for these days it is putting a lot of effort into his job.
