12 minutes into License to Kill and it is already better than the entirety of Octopussy. The stunt in the cold opening is better than all of the stunts in Octopussy, the music is MUCH better, and it has Benicio Del Toro/ED from Twin Peaks/FBI Special Agent Big Johnson from Die Hard.

Before I watched Bond the word on the street was that the Dalton movies sucked, so I came into them thinking that way. Nope. License to Kill is DOPE AS FUCK. Living Daylights might be even better.

This match is so bad that I'm gonna focus on Magnum Takayama instead

Every time TARU is in the ring, Bernard holds his hand up like, 'please tag me in, you are fucking terrible.'
 
I thought it was booked right from beginning to end for who was in the match. I got actually hyped at moments for it despite not giving a fuck about anything going on in the show.

I just thought the booking was bad at the end due to the ref having 5 minutes to make a count whilst old men walked slowly to the ring and postured, other than that I remember the shitty Henry elimination, and the shitty Show turn. I'll need to give it a re-watch though.

I liked Dalton a lot in The Living Daylights, but didn't care much for the movie. License to Kill is looking like it is going to be a Bond edition of Miami Vice.
 
- WWE officials are said to be afraid of hurting Bray Wyatt by having him lose to Dean Ambrose in their series of matches recently. The plan is to keep Wyatt strong in case the rumored match with The Undertaker at WrestleMania 31 comes to fruition.

both of these guys suck but they're keeping bray strong for an old part timer who now has really no point to even be at WM anymore now that his streak is up. just so dumb and their match will suck and the feud will have bray cutting his same dumb spooky promo with undertaker following with some dumb spooky promo. bray looks weak too.

Wyatt and. Ambrose both look weak. Ambrose looks stupid after that monitor spot, and I literally can't remember the last meaningful win. Wyatt had. Bryan at Royal Rumble?

It was a great match. Totally a dream, man.

Data, what are you watching?

If you watch it, just skip to the last 7 or 8 minutes. The only highlight is Bernard unable to put up with TARU's shit anymore and throwing him down and Suwama's german suplex. And all of that is at the end. Old man Choshu throws out some lariats. I guess some people like that because, for some unknown reason, people like Riki Choshu.

his last few wins over ambrose kinda meant something. he def looks strong over ambrose. both look like midcard guys who would get crushed by part timers, cena (only top star right now), and reigns if they were booked with him. just pitiful. rollins doesn't look much better and neither does ziggler. nobody on their roster looks believably strong except cena and reigns and then brock miles ahead of those two. I want heyman to cut a shoot promo on reigns live on raw but that'll never happen.

Sounding "deep" does not make a promo "deep", and all of Wyatt's are nonsense because of it. Has any of them actually ever built into something, resolved for telling a story?

Wyatt still has a tendency to ramble in his promos and i think they're too long sometimes, but he's still captivating every time he picks up a microphone, not to mention he's got amazing presence, he's fine in the ring too though i'd like to see more power moves from him

Thank God Yujiro became a purveyor of escorts. That dude had zero gimmick before. I don't even remember what he was supposed to be when he was wearing the black trunks but still teaming with Naito.

There you go, Bootaaay.

And who in the WWE does?
Of course. I don't like main roster WWE at all right now. Wyatt is one of the top reasons. He's a waste of everything.

Never. He's always right on the edge of having anything real to say about anything. He never goes all the way at all. All of his feuds feel so distant and heatless.
 
In terms of promo ability, while Bray Wyatt mumbles about nonsense for far too long, Jimmy Uso rocketed past him with five simple words:

"Stay away from my wife!"

Guys, help me appreciate Terry Gordy. I've seen quite a few matches but he's never really done much for me. What's the appeal?

He's a big ol hoss and he beats people up. I mean, liking Terry Gordy is about as simple as it gets for liking a wrestler.

Bray's got charisma, presence and a workable gimmick. That he never talks about anything and nothing comes of his talking is bad writing. If that's on him fine, but I think the writers are having him give his pointless sermons because he did it well for months on end and they won't stop leaning on it like a crutch. It would stop being annoying if there was a sense of build to it, or an endgame in sight.

Lol, this scene and the big climax afterwards with Bond and Q raiding Kamal Khan's palace with the help of the ninja gypsy girls is comedy gold.

Stro, why no mention of this in the review:

Anyone ever notice Anderson works at the exact same speed throughout an entire match? Like he has no sense of pacing whatsoever. He's either selling on the ground or moving at the same speed throughout the match regardless of length and amount of time spent in the ring.

This tag match is constantly putting over Naito as the babyface getting the tar kicked out of him and he does an amazing job of it. So amazing that it is just highlighting Anderson constantly working at X-Division squash match speed.

Bray Wyatt is the 2014 equivalent of the monsters of the week that Undertaker was programmed with in the 90s. He'd be managed by Paul Bearer if the man were still alive.

Are we back to 'guy doesn't agree with me so he's a gimmick poster' again?

Notice these accusation always come from fans of a certain wrestler...

Because I was done with the movie way before the end. Total dud on every level.

We've come full circle, like a carny road tour.

Just remember that time has proven that I was right all along, friends.
