Can't be bothered googling it but beyond the Austin link, I'm pretty sure that's the time the lad shot everyone in The Amityville Horror, so it always shits me up waking up at that time despite not owning a gun or being possessed by some demon who hates my family

I was 11 when he came back for Mania 12 and even I wasn't that fussed, he seemed like a relic even then compared to Bret at his peak, Diesel who'd gone back to being cool as fuck after Survivor Series and Taker and HBK I imagine if he'd stuck around he'd have had his version of the Codyverse where they kept him away from the proper main event programs (despite probably paying him more than anyone else) and then he'd have flounced when they asked him to put HBK over

Is it just me or is it like the internet didn't happen? I can imagine that slapping game in Memphis or somewhere backwards in the 70s, surely nowadays anyone could look up the risks and see it's ridiculously stupid? The plus side is the people doing that aren't exactly adding much to society

He's too small for any of his stuff to look believable, it's not that everyone has to be 6 foot 2 and 250 pounds but he's got such an odd body shape it makes everything he does look weird, plus Bret thought he was shite and he's the greatest

Lake Mungo Never heard of it til the other day, really enjoyed it, gets the creepy atmosphere perfect but I was most impressed with the documentary interviews with the Dad, Mum and brother, most natural acting I've ever seen in a fake documentary Most famous bit (which is why I heard of the film in the first place, thankfully it didn't spoil anything) was suitably horrific, ending was a bit different to what you'd normally get but made more sense than anything else and was really sad 4 stars on Letterboxd

Seeing as he was mentioned in passing I'll make my long held point that Malenko was massively overrated and his only really good singles match was with Scotty 2 Hotty at Backlash 2000

It's odd how Hunter happily put Banks and Charlotte in the main event of big NXT shows years ago yet seemingly won't do the same for the women on the main roster now, especially when under Vince of all people had 3 main event Mania 35 In regards to the men, it'll be interesting to see if Hunter really is a Nazi considering the amount of black talent they have, Keanu Carver looks the absolute part and just needs booking as a killer for now, he has that natural charisma though where you can easily picture him on talk shows with the belt

Don't see why, it's a perfectly cromulent analogy

From a kayfabe point of view it probably works, other than Taker putting him down with the Choke slam at Mania 40, when was the last time anyone got anything on him? Cena at Mania 29? He's either not been touched or put Rowan down in 7 seconds at whatever Mania it was

I do remember pissing myself at Cornette's podcast when he was laughing about Moxley posing while the flute part of Wild Thing played On another note, when did WCW start having the security knock on Goldberg's door? It wasn't from his debut surely?

Pretty shite episode this week, main event was terrible, Waller/Rook should be something a bit different at least Promo segment that started with Kelani was terrible too, only decent bits of the show were Zilla/DVD/Legacy (Sean Legacy is still the worst name going though) brawling with Birthright and the full on Borne heel turn Was a really inconsequential part of the show but Megastar Izzi Dame showing how natural she is with talking compared to 95% of the rest of the roster (I'm including the main roster and all the men) is laughable, if she doesn't make it as a star on the main roster in the next few years they might as well give up

It's Austin Vs Dude Love at Over the Edge '98 isn't it? Definitive Attitude era match, great main event and, most importantly as far as this thread goes, great brawl

Got me thinking how many memorable reigns Orton has actually had? Only one I can think of is his first WWE one when he feuded with HBK, Jericho, can't even remember how he lost it though

Just watched it, the scene with Lois Lane and Mister Terrific in Superman where Terrific leathers everyone was great, this film copying it 3 times wasn't Quite dark in some places, liked it overall though, imagine it bombed at the box office due to it being set in space but it'll no doubt be a massive success on streaming, 3 stars on Letterboxd

Better that than Boss Man/Al Snow

So that's Randy Orton mentioning it on the next episode of SmackDown to barely any reaction then

Stunning booking in the NA title match, cocky heel with his knobhead mates and Amazonian girlfriend/bodyguard valiantly overcomes a knackered ankle to spotlessly beat the babyface without needing any interference whatsoever, made Heights look amazing that

It would only have made sense putting the belt on Corbin if it was to get Trick away from a shite midcard belt and up the card, obviously it did neither I know they probably make a ton of money from replica belt sales but they could do with binning off the IC and US titles, they're belts either for killing time before moving back up the card or a lazy way to get 2 (or more) midcarders feuding Best example was Wade Barrett going for the IC title after his Cena/Orton feuds, as soon as he was involved with that belt you knew his main event run was finished

In fairness, it's not like the US title means anything

Always loved Heyman popping JR in 2001 when the camera cut to ZZ Top sitting ringside and Heyman screamed 'It's the Boogie Woogie man Jimmy Valiant!'

Skipped the 6 woman tag but the rest was decent enough, nothing amazing, main event was good I suppose but wasn't the point of the ending the same as Cody's Mania match with Cena? He doesn't have the killer instinct and it costs him? Presumably he'll beat Orton in an I quit or Last Man Standing to prove he can 'go to the dark side' or some bollocks

TIL Bron Breakker is the same age as his dad was when him and JR went to a hotel so JR could watch him knob Robin Greene

Enjoyed his work when I watched AEW, tragic at a young age

There's been plenty of criticism of Farage in The Times for a while now, I don't tend to read the editorials but they've been backing Badenoch pretty much since she got in

That's a shame, thought he more upside to him than a lot of other mens singles on the roster, they should be releasing stale dross off the main roster rather than anyone from NXT
