Just gonna post CZW gifs until you guys stop with Guy Fieri.
Yep, he also has Guitarra de Muerte, which is basically a Cop Killa/Kudo Driver - also, that's the second version of Guitarra de Angel, the first was a lot less safe; he hoisted the dude into a full splash-mountain position and then Steiner Screwdriver'd them. Brutal.
Enjoying your New Japan reviews man. In regards to the young lions, they have to earn a bit of individuality, but for now will stick to the black trunks and basic move-sets. It's interesting to see how they're being positioned though - Komatsu shows a lot of fire and is very speedy, he'll almost certainly be a Jr. and, while Tanaka isn't terribly tall, I feel like they're highlighting his strength and he'll end up a heavyweight.
El Desperado's Guitarra de Angel finisher looks damn good.
I'm assuming that's what I'm seeing here anyway.

I'm going to post 80's Bond openings until you stop posting CZW gifs.

I'm OK with this. Doing a run-through of Bond at the moment, From Russia With Love is still my favourite; more actual espionage than over the top spy action. Also, no Roger Moore.
I'd love someone to review A View to a Kill in this thread. It's right up someone's alley.
The plot makes no sense...for a James Bond movie even. Christopher Walken is supposedly playing a superhuman. Grace Jones is in it (and threatened to sodomize a nearly 60 year old Rodger Moore during a scene)
Plus it has that dope ass Duran Duran opening.

Don't even know what's going on here, but I feel like this will quickly be adopted gaming side. Also those 80's Bond Intros had some great music. My Wife hates the Bond movies, as apparently he's really racist and sexist. I never noticed.
Please put it on youtube so we can see the wonderful story unfold. I'll Sub, Like, Vote Up, Retweet and Hashtag it.
There are some entertaining aspects of the film. Like for instance anything involving Christopher Walken's ridiculous blimp. Also of course as mentioned the theme. Although I'm more partial to A-ha's Living Daylights when it comes to the Bond New Wave themes.

Ric Blade's never ending feud against Johnny Kashmere and Trent Acid, the Backseat Boys in CZW back in 1999 all the way to early 2001.
Can't believe that was now forever ago.

Ah man, that's a shame - From Russia With Love is really the most restrained of all the Bond films, no wacky gadgets, ridiculous henchmen or crazy 60s quasi-futuristic clothing. Even the other Connery films are far more OTT than From Russia and the Roger Moore films seem entirely ridiculous by comparison. Perhaps try some Timothy Dalton-era Bond? License to Kill in particular is a great action film, more modern and without any of the ridiculous aspects of Bond.

Any of the Sean Connery Bond films > that thing which you like.
It is a great song. Both Netflix and Network run out on the 24th for me. I'm trying to bank a bunch of PPV reviews, but I might take a break and try another Bond movie.

License to Kill is a lot like the current Craig movies, moviegoing public just wasn't ready for a subdued Bond at the time. It also opened near the first Tim Burton Batman so it stood no chance.

Jesus, that Punk UFC thread...people salty that Punk, shock horror, is a carny-ass businessman, people salty that he's "disrespecting the biz, maaaaaaan", people salty because any new fans Punk may attract to the sport aren't the sort of fans they want, dagnammit! Just salt pouring forth in general, huge mountains of it. I hope Punk does well, just for the fucking lulz that undoubtedly will transpire.
UFC is still real to them, damnit. The fix is in! It might take them awhile to reach it but they will.
There's only upside with Punk doing UFC. There's upside for the people that like Punk, there's upside for the people that hate Punk, there's upside for the people that like UFC, there's upside for Punk, there's upside for UFC, even upside for the Cable Companies selling the PPV's he's on.
Everybody fucking wins.
Everybody fucking wins.

Apart from whoever actually loses the MMA match. Say if Punk loses, he gets paid sure. But he literally won't have won.
Except the people who he knocks of PPV cards and costs them pay days and Reebok sponsorship money because Dana just wanted to give his "friend" a shot...by a giving not even an amateur a big money, multi-fight contract at the expense of people he already employs and barely pays to get brain damage.
He will, but he'll just end up calling him fruity or something anyway.
To be fair though there's a billion cards these days and too many jabroni fighters no one gives a shit about that need to be trimmed anyways. Of course someone who can actually make them money gets to skip the line. Friendship has jackshit to do with it.

I think what bothers most people is that it's simply nepotism at its worst. Why shouldn't people be upset when that happens at a high level in their sport?

Nepotism refers to blood relations, its etymology is from the Italian for nephew. Popes that had sons were presented as nephews and the special favors they received due to their secret status spawned the word nepotismo.
Since Dana and Punk aren't related, you want to use cronyism.

You keep playing-up the whole friendship angle which is ridiculous, this is all about name value and potential PPV buys.
By "keep playing up" do you mean one post in here about it and one post about it in the Punk thread, which is a quote from Dana himself saying he gave Punk a shot because they became friends?

Yes, numerous posts. As for what Dana said, don't be naive, Dana says a lot of shit. Do you expect him to come out and say he signed him because he is hoping for the crossover potential to spike his business, which has declined? This is business, PPV dollars are at the heart of this deal. I'm sure Dana has quite a lot of "friends" would would like to be in the UFC but who are not
