KENTA & Naomichi Marufuji vs Kuuga & Great Takeru - (IWA Japan 2000/12/26)
Fun match from KENTA's first pro year here, as he and Marufuji head to sleazy IWA Japan to take on Kuuga & the Great Takeru. KENTA's pretty good considering he only debuted nine months previously and it's cool to see him busting out headscissiors and hurricanranas, although there are flashes of the style to which he'd develop.

Well the invasion was also right around then, so I'm sure I had plenty to work with.

Wait. There was an IWA Japan? Any relation to IWA MS?
If only there was some sort of IWA MS expert around these parts

For some reason I keep forgetting Bay made The Rock and Bad Boys. Okay, so he's made more good films than Zack Snyder (2 to 1).
Bay:
Bad Boys (good), The Rock (good), Armageddon (sucked, but had the best power ballad of all time), Pearl Harbor (meh), Bad Boys 2 (sucked), The Island (sucked), Transformers 1-4 (sucked), Pain & Gain (haven't seen)
Snyder:
Dawn of the Dead (great), 300 (sucked), Watchmen (sucked), Legend of the Guardians (haven't seen), Sucker Punch (sucker sucked), Man of Steel (holy fucking shit, sucked isn't strong enough)
Both still mostly bad, point still stands

I see the Man of Steel hyperbole is still going on. Movie wasn't great by any means, but it wasn't terrible.

Nope, they were co-owned by the same guy who ran IWA Puerto Rico, though. IWA Japan started in '94 and hosted the infamous Kawasaki King of the Deathmatch tournament in '95, featuring Cactus Jack and Terry Funk.
I think it was bad. The worst thing a comic book movie can be is boring, and god damn of MoS wasn't boring as fuuuuuuuuuck. Compare that to ASM2, which was terrible, but still fun to watch. Dialogue was terrible in MoS. Especially anything with Pa Kent. I didn't like a single thing about MoS, but I'm not much of a Superman fan to begin with. Love 1978 and II, though. Enjoy him on JL/JLU, but never been a fan of solo Superman.

I liked it. It dragged and I thought it was clunky in some key moments, but I thought it set a nice stage for the universe as a whole. Superman origin stories in general aren't all that great. Most of the best Superman stuff is when he is established and interacting with the greater DCU, so I have hope for DC's future stuff.

I have very little faith in WWE writers, but whether they know it or not, money is right there in front of them:
- Paul toting Brock to Cesaro's chagrin when he was a Heyman guy
- Cesaro stops being a Heyman guy the night Brock returns
- MOST IMPORTANTLY: Brock broke the streak...he shouldn't lose for a while. Whoever beats him next would be made. Cesaro absolutely fits the bill of deserving such a rub better than any other...

Coming after WM Cesaro would've been the best candidate, but they'd have to do a loooooooooooot of work to rebuild him as a credible threat to Brock that they're definitely not interested in doing

Transformers 1 was great, so was 300.
The universe is in a giving mood. Just finished Twin Peaks and my library has the blu ray set. All that bonus material, the movie. Perfect timing.
Gonna dance all night and dance a little longer
Don't expect the movie to be like the show. That's my advice.
He's a guest commentator. Some football player. It was like his first time watching wrasslin' and he was on commentary all night. He asked the most ridiculous questions and Gorilla and Savage eventually gave up and ignored him.

Surprised they're running this show out of the old Maple Leaf Gardens instead of the Ted Reeve arena.
Any matches announced yet or just the usual list of performers that are guaranteed to appear?
The Rock is great Bad Boys 2 is great Watchmen is ok.

Because it's impossible for some to hold the opinion that it was, in fact, terrible.
Bad Boys, The Rock and Dawn Of The Dead were great. 300 was decent. Watchmen was alright, but nowhere near as good as it could've been. The rest are shit.

"holy fucking shit, sucked isn't strong enough" totally isn't hyperbolic, you're right.
Come on. If you think it was bad, then just say that. The "Man of Steel gave me cancer" BS that is all over the internet is just that. If you don't like a movie, then that's your prerogative, but portraying it as one of the worst things ever is, by definition, hyperbolic.

Would you say it's hyperbolic that it's the worst comic book movie I've ever seen? You sure do like to say things are hyperbolic when you have no idea what others have seen. Oh wait, "no idea", guess that's hyperbolic too.

Idk, I really hated MoS and it was one of the least enjoyable movies I've seen over the last 10 years. I legitimately thought it was terrible. On the same level as Green Lantern to me. No hyperbole.

I hope he was planning on retiring, because otherwise that is just heartless after 30 years of employment.

Is that bell 30 years old too?
Is that bell the oldest employed thing left in the company that isn't a McMahon or McMahon friend? #KeepTheBell

I guess they realized he had no use once they stopped doing that spot where they frantically ring the bell throughout a match interference beatdown.
