    Horses for courses, but I really thought the post match shenanigans added to it. The bank note especially was quite insulting.The fact Taker always picked the opponent up and carried them to the back whilst in the bodybag really added to his character, I thought.Oh, and to revisit my original post - does anyone remember when Taker dropped the body bag gimmick? I've got a feeling it was probably around about the time he was feuding with Warrior but I can't remember.

    Was it not when he turned face over the Elizabeth dealy?

    What have you been watching on (proper scripted) telly?

    The Lister curse strikes again. Natural Born Sellers has been moved out of prime time. Officially it's because of poor ratings, though I suspect it may be specifically down to a lack of advertisers (last week's episode had one break with only one ad). I guess that makes sense as watching the show hardly leaves in the mood to listen to sales pitches.

    It may be out of primetime but what a show it was last week. Scott being the cockiest man alive and crashing back to earth with a bang. As well as that dark haired bint (really can't remember her name) seemingly wanting to whore her way to the top. SImply great stuff from start to finish.

    As I understand it, the Gorilla position isn't so much for the agent of the match, rather it's for the guy making sure each wrestler is in the right place so they can go out when their music hits, particularly at a TV taping or PPV.

    This. Back in the day, Gorilla Monsoon was the guy in charge of timing the TV shows. He would be just behind the curtain (or occasionally somewhere else in the arena with a clear view of the ring) on headset with a clock and a format sheet, making calls through the ref's earpiece to let the guys in the ring know what to do when. Because Vince was apparently the first guy to do that kind of thing in such a disciplined way (as opposed to just having the ringside timekeeper giving the guys signals), the position came to be named after the guy who was most famous for it.Nowadays, of course, there are several guys there - Vince himself, Kevin Dunn, Stephanie, and one or more agents may all be there.
    Its a bit surprising that it isn't the road agent whose responsible for that. Surely they've got the most to lose from a match they're in charge of falling apart?

    To what extent does Idris Elba feature? I spotted him in the trailer and was tempted to see it on that basis.

    If its who I think it is ( the black guy?) he's in the film a fair bit. Not one of the 'Main' characters but definately an upper mid carder to use a wrestling analogy. He's also very good in the film as well.EDIT - just googled him and it was who I was thinking of.

    I recently downloaded the complete Uncanny X-Men - something like 450 issues which means I'm pretty much on X-Men overload at the minute. I used to be a huge fan but drifted in and out of it for the last 4-5 years.I really found myself enjoying some of the newer stuff. From "New X-Men" onwards. Can anyone recommend me any TBPs of the recent stuff as I think I'm getting eyestrain from looking at my computer for half the night!

    If the Undertaker & Kane are brothers, and grew up together, and the Undertaker is from Death Valley, WHY THE FUCK IS KANE FROM PARTS UNKNOWN?!?!?!?!?!?!

    Probably for the same reason that Chris Benoit was from Atlanta.
    That would be such a great intro "originally hailing from Death Valley but now residing in Parts Unknown" I can just imagine the Fink saying it now. :laugh:

    I'm loving the fact that, right from the start, Moj explained the reasons as to why he would be putting Doug Williams as No. 1 - one of those reasons being to incite hilarious rants from people who didn't "get" it.Even though he said this publically right at the start and on this very forum, we're still getting hilarious rants from people who, of course, didn't "get" it and only signed up here to spout off and defend the honour of BRITWRES~ and their shitty mates.This already had Thread of the Year sewn up ages ago, but every new mong who comes on here to say their piece about how the internet is ruining British wrestling just confirms it even more. The very fact that these people consider the internet to be a real factor in general British wrestling is one of the main reasons why it is in the state that it is. The fact that they are transparently doing so because they are obviously associated with some of the very SHITARSERY this project has been trying to highlight keeps piling on the hilarity. Please, can we have more BRIT WRES~ mongs, please?As someone else once said: "Get off your keyboard and put some posters up".

    Don't wind him up, he's got an amoeba on his bum and he's not afraid to use it! :laugh: I wish I could be 'nirkmal' alas I didn't pass the entrance exam. :angry:

    in fact id venture a guess and say you've never seen any of these 50 guys work just what you heard from other people

    Have you missed the whole point of the thread? It wasn't just Moj deciding whose shit and who isn't. It was a counting of people's votes, the comments for each person were comments included on the ballots.So it's entirely possible that Moj hasn't seen some of the 'workers' included on the list.

    Did I miss the point when a really funny thread descended into a tiresome argument about percieved racism?Seriously Mo if this 'racism' bothers you so much then use the report button, otherwise take it to PMs instead of ruining the board with all the moaning and bitching.

    I did report it.Also, I asked Morty to take this to PM, but he doesn't want to because he's a dirty troll who prefers stirring shit on the board. Kenny also has no interest in discussing these things one to one. He also loves trolling and flaming me on the board. I've got better things to do with my time than take the bait, and often I won't, but these two just never give up.The sensible thing would be for the mods to tell those two to quit trying to cause trouble all the time. I hope they do.
    Or you could live dangerously and just not react to it.No offense meant but, like Neil says, this circular argument is taking place over 3 or more threads, its all getting a bit stupid now.

    Why is it amazing? It's full of holes and riddled with problems. It's a good film, nothing more.

    I think the amazing things about the film are the performances of Ledger, Eckhart and Oldman. All 3 were simply superb, I agree with you that the film wasn't perfect and did have some issues with the plot at times. I tend to judge a film by my immediate reaction with TDK it was "when can I see it again?". I've seen it twice so far and enjoyed it enormously both times, no film that I've seen recently has had the same effect.
