How dare you deride the acting skills of the star of Boone: The Bounty Hunter? Are you sure you're not thinking of Ricky Mandel?

When the commentary called "New Trios champs!" I thought someone was going to say "Well, 2/3 of them are new." Has there ever been a team-switching championship match? I don't recall seeing that in wrestling before.

Yep, and it was pretty great.

The return of Lucha Underground on 5/31 did a disastrous 65,000 viewers for the Johnny Mundo vs. The Mack All Night Long (Iron Man) match. A replay did 36,000 viewers. The combined 101,000 for the two airings was down 34 percent from the season three average leading up to this of 154,000.

Random El Rey tangent: I watched Heavy Metal for the first time since El Rey has been showing it a thousand times over the past couple months, and even by the standards of trashy 80s "adult" animation, I don't get it. :shrug:

Did people only like this because it was the first time they saw cartoon boobies?

Heavy Metal is kind of uneven, but it has parts that I still really like.

I think "Den" is hilarious, because it's basically the story of a nerd being transported into the body of a character he probably would have read about in Heavy Metal magazine.

The "Bomber" sequence scared the crap out of me the first time I saw it. I skip that part if I watch it now.

The trial sequence with Hanover Fist is just weird, but weird enough to be memorable.

The final story is probably my favourite. Some beautiful animation in this segment. The way the ending ties everything together is really excellent.

This is also my pick, but I'll take it further by predicting the quarterfinals:

Pentagon/Mack, Mil/Killshot, Cage/Fenix, Puma/Azteca.

Those are all rad-as-hell matches, and I'm glad I didn't read the spoilers to preemptively disappoint myself.

I'd say Mil/Jeremiah is more likely since there's the whole love angle going on. Otherwise, I agree with everything.

I'd even go as far as saying it has to be Pentagon vs Puma at the final, mayyybe Mil vs Cage and the temple is destroyed.
