I've noticed it once before on Peter Boyle who played Ray's dad in 'Everybody Loves Raymond'. He went from having very expressive eyes to a glazed blank look at some point very quickly. Comes with age I suppose.   I remember him mainly from playing the Monster in Young Frankenstein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"PUU'IIII' OOOOOO' THE RIIIIII'" Could be a mix of glaucoma, fading lenses and the like. No chance Vince is going to tap out to that.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted May 9, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 9, 2019 How completely unwatchable would the WWE network be if they still had to edit "WWF" and the scratch logo out of every show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted May 10, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 10, 2019 Vince's eyes always look red raw, like he's been crying. One thing that surprised me watching '98 stuff, early in Vince's heel run, is that he puts his reading glasses on to read a prepared statement. You can't imagine the psycho "Can't Let The Beard Win" Vince of 2019 conceding a sign of weakness like that, so I do wonder if he's fucked his vision by stubbornly never wearing his glasses/lenses any more.

Psycho Vince didn’t start in 2019. Surely the beard story happened years ago? His TV character was always willing to show weakness more than the real life character he plays.

His TV character was always willing to show weakness more than the real life character he plays. It's a specific kind of weakness, though. He'll be humiliated, covered in sewage, his face shoved in Rikishi's arse, and forced to waddle around with his kecks around his ankles, but he'll still power walk to the locker room on two blown out quads rather than accept help. He never shows any physical weakness. The beard thing reminds me of one of the great stories that never was; after the limo explosion, there was talk that when Vince was found to have faked his own death, he'd have gone all Howard Hughes, with long fingernails and a massive beard.

I’d love to have seen that. Mainly just because I have a weird fascination/curiosity to see how those who never grow out facial hair would look with it. I’ve always imagined John Cena could grow an immense, thick, proper lumberjack type beard that would just make him look like the most manliest of men. Never see him with so much as a bit of stubble though. Which makes me think he actually is a giant action figure come to life or he has a similar beard stance to mental Vince.

My interpretation of that is that Vince reckons its twatty and pompous to put glasses on to read, so he did so as a heel move. He does it very deliberately and hammily as I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Dem Wanz Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 The residents of Dallas in 2000 were jammy bastards, just watching the amazing February 7th Raw (thanks to @Liam O'Rourke podcast) and it’s held at the Reunion Arena, the same venue as  Fully Loaded 2000 in July of that year. That’s two of the best WWF shows ever in the space of 6 months! I wonder how many went to both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonworden Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Ah Fully Loaded 2000, one of the first PPV's I watched through and funnily enough I just mentioned in the questions thread. Very good card for a B level PPV that left you going away happy at the end Al Snow vs Taz and the tag title match are the weakest matches and are still OK. The second half of the show is fantastic. I have seen some people complain that Taker dominates Angle but with Angle's character at the time, the storyline through the show and beforehand it does make sense, plus Angle did get his win back a few months later in a less enjoyable title match at Survivor Series. Makes me feel nostalgic writing that as 14 year old me genuinely thought the title could/ would change hands at any point as he hadn't been bombarded with articles and news explaining the wrestling business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grecian Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Having ordered myself a Sky Sports NOW TV pass for the week, I watched WWE Experience. Charly Caruso might be lovely to look at, but dear Lord, she's terrible at reading an autocue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted May 12, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) A non-fan friend of mine took his nephews to a house show last night. This is his review: Quote Have you subscribed to the wwe network?  Some hot goth girls came out and got booed for some reason.  Men punched each other.  A man called Walter came out to punch people and everyone went to the bar.  Have you thought about signing up to the wwe network?  Famous people punch each other.  Buy our merch but quick because the punching will start again whilst you’re still only half way through the queue for a 6.50 pint of beer.  Famous ladies punch each other.  Some more punching.  Lots of famous people punch each other and the crowd lose their shit.  Would you like to try out the wwe network?  Good night.  Don’t forget about the wwe network. I actually really enjoyed it. Edited May 12, 2019 by HarmonicGenerator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaaad! Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I mean, if you were Walter you'd be pretty glad yours was the only name he remembered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
