VogeGandire posted:Plus gently caress you guys, Con Air was a good movie. You're wrong there; Con Air was a GREAT movie. And Drive Angry (3D) was my movie of the year for whatever year that came out. Greatest movie ever to decide that instead of having a sex scene and a gunfight scene that they should just make them both the same scene. Nicholas Cage owns bones and I forgive all his lovely movies because sometimes, just sometimes you need scenery chewing Cage to pick up a movie and carry it to greatness. I mean, hes turned in some legitimately fantastic performances in his day, but they just arent as entertaining as The Rock, Con Air and Drive Angry.

Saul Goode posted:Cena is the embodiment of a corporate suckass who places more emphasis on good PR than being a good wrestler, of course he's going to be nice to people. He can't sell a feud, build new stars, cut a memorable promo or take any opponent seriously, but he sure can be a nice marketable public face for the WWE. Punk is the antithesis of all of that. If the trade-off for being good at being a professional wrestler is not being a baby-kissing politician to the fans then I'll take it any day of the week. Or, he could be a legit decent guy whose wrestling you just dont like. Being a bad worker doesnt automatically mean that you are a bad person, and being a good worker doesnt really excuse you being a total toolbox.

I remember hearing a few years ago that the WWE looked at Venus as a sort of test for prospective talent. If they wanted to give someone a try out they had them do a dark match with Val. He was a solid journeyman wrestler but hardly a ring general who could get a good match out of a broom, so if the match was good then the other guy must have been at least okay, and if the match sucked then they were looking at someone who needs someone to carry them to a decent match. Dont know if any of that is actually true, but there you go.

njsykora posted:Colt is one of the few guys I think can really make decent money just doing random indies around the world so I have no idea why he's constantly hung up about not being in WWE. Like every time there's a former WWE guy on AOW it always ends up at "When I was in developmental..." Because every time he meets someone who doesnt follow wrestling he has to have this converstion; "So what do you do?" "I'm a professional wrestler" "Really? Are you in the WWF?" "No." "Oh."

I've occasionally wondered; If Austin had kept everything else the same, the look, the moveset, the catchphrases, but had gone with Chilly McFreeze, or Ice Dagger, or Otto Von Ruthless instead of Stone Cold Steve Austin, would he still have got over? Would casual fans have bought T-shirts with "Otto 3:16" on them?

I'm from Glasgow originally and have (briefly) met Nikki a couple of times back when she was in ICW (We have mutual friends, if you know anyone who trains at Source you end up meeting half the indie wrestlers in the west of scotland one way or another). If you told me that she slipped up and accidently called someone a loving oval office then I'd believe it no problem. human being? Not so much. Catching herself about to say "Fuckers" and trying to change it to "Maggots" I'd also believe. Also, if you think her accent is rough you really dont know many Glaswegians.

One thing I've never got is how wrestlers seem to think "big dog" makes you sound tough. I've known some bernese mountain dogs and Newfoundlands. Commentator calls a wrestler "the big dog" I'm not thinking "tough scary bastard", I'm thinking "big drooling softy probably gonna shed all over the furniture".

superLINUS posted:Some sketchy thoughts about a serious topic... How is that a can of worms? If they do work, they deserve pay. End of. If a promoter cant afford to pay their workers, then they cant afford to put on a show. If you want to put on a show by getting people to work for free* then gently caress you get in the loving bin. If wrestlers are eligible for equity, then so are valets and referees because they are essentially doing the same job, ring announcing is essentially voice acting, so sure. Everything else... Well how does it work for plays? You have actors (wrestlers/valets/referees) onstage (in the ring) who are equity members. I'd assume stagehands (ring crew) and sound/lighting guys in the theatre have their own unions? Wrestling is basically carny kabuki theater, now wrestlers can join equity there is no reason that a wrestling show should run much differently than any other staged performance show. "Paying your dues" in wrestling has always been and will always be a bullshit concept and anyone who uses it to justify not paying someone for their labour can also get in the aforementioned bin. *outside of things like benefit/charity shows where people might want to donate their time but tbh even then my attitude is "pay them and they can then donate their wage if the choose to". A wrestling school putting on a trainee "friends and family" type show is obviously more like amateur dramatics.

Like all the original wrestlers who got it I think we’re just being ironic and having a fun time. I dunno... When I think of wrestling legends of the 80s and 90s I dont associate them, as a group, with "Strong grasp of irony".
