Sold as a horror movie but actually becomes a revenge drama. You're watching parts of it through your fingers and with your head turned. I saw it last weekend and thought it was one of the best comic book movies I've seen in a long time. Not one of the best movies, but really good within a genre that's gone off the boil.

I think the backstage fight story would've been awesome as Pillman was pretty vicious.

The thing I wish they'd included was the match on Raw the night after International Incident between Marc Mero and the Goon where Steve came out on commentary and dropped something along the lines of "I've beaten everyone you've put in front of me - well, there would've been Bret Hart, but he's gone...". Doesn't get talked about enough. If Pillman survived, he would've been brilliant as the guy Vince took on to get Austin because he knew him better than anyone. Pill would've been playing along but also having his own MO and getting into trouble with Vince's guys before getting more shots in on Austin.

Better said than written, but he once told the story of a lady coming up to him after a show who said "Your show was verging on the offensive", to which he replied "The only virgin on the offensive here is...".

Uh-oh!

Sounds like the language of some right cunny tees.

That's a Jim Cornette OVW nickname if ever there was one.

Double J apparently jumped off the apron onto Ahmed at a house show and had a shock go up his back so bad (of course, he could've been feigning it) that he never came back and left for WCW in the autumn. Got replaced in cage matches by Tatanka, who was also back from suspension and seemingly finishing up his contract before WrestleMania, including getting matches in the main event against Bret in India.

"Everyone knows a bloke called Norman!"

Last time I saw that commercial it was in 1997 on The Sunday Show being recalled by, you guessed it, Peter Kay on his That's Entertainment slot.

Surprised to hear What's Up was used so quickly after being used in Masters of the Universe, where it fit better for a number of reasons.

I had to spell the word 'zeitgeist' for a kid at work and they also asked if it started with a 'zee', which I was quick to correct too.

Beyond that big smile and tongue lolling out, it's a sign he's happy if he's rolling on his back and showing his belly. Very comfortable and feeling safe.

Absolute beaut of a lad, got so much character in his face and eyes.
