WCW, particularly during the death spiral, never thought anything past "this would be a great visual joke!" WCW's final years were like hiring David Lynch and the ten hackiest comedy writers on Hollywood's D-List and giving them a blank checkbook and 18 trash bags full of cocaine.

I would much rather see David Cronenberg directing a wrestling company actually. Up next, the amorphous flesh beast made out of sexual organs versus the biomechanical acid-spitting psychic hooker.

Jerusalem posted:I liked Existenz, I never got the hate for it. The problem with Existenz was that it was extremely low budget for what he was trying to accomplish, and came out around the same time as the Matrix. While it is probably the smarter film, it just lacked a lot of polish and came off looking amateur for when it was made. The 90's kinda sucked him for, except for Crash (the good version).

Hey, does anyone else remember when two guys who were already named Fit Finlay and Brian Knobbs formed a team called the Hardcore Soldiers, dressed in different colours of military camo and led Al Green around on a leash as their human dog? That remains literally the gayest thing I have ever seen in my life.

I seriously loved the David-Crowbar-Daffney axis of whackiness. On the subject of wrestling gayness, WCW should have had Dustin do the whole creepy Goldust act, but dressed in his old "The Natural" getup. It would be pretty hosed looking... in a good way. Then turn him face, dragging the neolithic rasslin' fans into a 1,000 year reich of beautiful tolerance.

You know what was weird? The Flair/Crowbar/Daffney stable was called The Badlanders. No, I'm serious. That's what Penzer announced them as. Except that he only did it some of the time, which is why no one except me and a dozen or so sperglords in the south remember. Same thing with A.J. Styles' tag team, Air Raid (he had a team with a guy named "Air Paris").

The word "spotfest" gets thrown around a bit these days but nothing I have seen comes close to this match in perfectly encapsulating a spotfest at its most extreme. For ten minutes a match featuring absolutely zero psychology, finishers and big moves being no sold and the most lame finisher compared to every other move in the match wondering how the gently caress that put them away: Air Raid vs Jung Dragons (Jimmy Yang and Kaz Hayashi) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V37gmLnGlxQ

This is probably the best place to post this, I won't be able to do the standard monthly Sunday Nostalgia show this week, would anyone have any objection to opening up the MYSTERY BOX on Saturday, instead? Otherwise I'll have to leave it at least a couple of weeks since Mania is next week.

Despite the booking, I think DesX will be a PPV full of good wrestling so I'd want to watch it as well as the nostalgia thread.

I was watching a Nitro from 2001, and there was a scene where DDP was signing copies of his book for fans. I am pretty sure AJ Styles was an extra in the scene, playing a dude WAY too excited to see DDP. It was pretty hilarious
