I can't get ROH, NJPW, and LU on my cable provider.
Me neither, but they're still available to a decent chunk of the American population.

I don't get AXS or a Sinclair station. Wish ROH could get a slot on a small cable station to at least have nationwide coverage.
That was their last tv deal, which they fucked up. MAV is surprisingly on a lot of packages.
I honestly wish TBS, TNT, or even TLC would get a promotion going.
Hell if TNA actually got their shit together they would be a perfect fit on TLC.

I thought Crank 1 and 2 were phenomenal. It came out before and around the time that shithead Robert Rodriguez tried too hard to make a grindhouse movie, and in the process he completely missed the point. Purposefully sucking doesn't make it "grindhouse. Movies like Crank, The Devil's Rejects, and Hostel were the real modern grindhouse.

In addition to, was my point. Just to get clearance in places that don't have a Sinclair station.
:/ I hated friends as a child, skipped it as a teenager, and laugh at my wife for watching at least one episode. Screw it, I'll rewatch The Wonder Years.

Hey, well, I'd give them a go. They're pretty funny and lighthearted. They have Nazis. Jean Dujardin! Berenice Bejo!
What's your favourite Bond parody?
Funny I was actually thinking of that movie earlier...thanks.
I don't know. I would have said Austin Powers until I rewatched it and found it brutally unfunny and dated.

Lol, I just read the earlier Statham posts and tried to remember the movie of his I watched. It's pretty fun though, Franco's good too.
A good 2/3 of the jokes in Austin Powers fall flat for me. They lean way too much on gross out humour and the sequels especially are just flat out bad. I'm not against dumb humour either, just think it's poorly executed there
Not really a fan of Myers as a performer overall.

I'm honestly surprised that TBS never went back to wrestling with their push for original content. If your just building a TV promotion it seems like it would be cheap enough to pay off.

Considering the mismanagement before I can understand them not wanting to get back into it.

They should have made a bid for TNA. It'd go well with their comedy angle. Very funny.
Best thing HHH did with next if give guys roles and let them do their job.
The CEO of Universal is not responsible for writing the scripts for movies.

Hello fellow Marks and Jobronies alike!
My name is NuclearRaven and after some lurking I've decided to post in this GAF. For those who have an interest (and for those of you with the benefits of flash photography! Sorry, bad Edge and Christian joke) let me tell you a bit about my life as a wrestling fan. I was a kid back in the 90's and became a fan of Pro Wrestling (I absolutely refuse to use "Sports Entertainment." Makes me sick to say/hear it) around 1996 just as the NWO formed which led to the kick off of the Monday Night Wars and the Attitude Era. If you weren't around during that time or were too young to remember, you have my deepest condolences because you missed out on the very best era of Pro Wrestling ever. That's right I said it. Anyway, I followed wrestling up until the death of Eddie Guerrero in 2005 and as I was about to get back into wrestling, figured as I had grieved enough the whole Chris Benoit situation happened which caused me to keep away for a few more years until CM Punk cut his "Pipebomb" promo and the rest as people say is history. I've recently branched outside of WWE to follow other promotions like ROH, PWG, Chikara, Lucha Underground and most recently NJPW. If you want to know anything else from me, feel free to ask! Okay enough with the back story (sorry if it sounded like one of Triple H's 45 minute long promos) on to my top five favorite Wrestlers of all time.
5. Eddie Guerrero: Guy was the first Lucha Libre wrestler that I watched and he was extremely entertaining in and out of the ring. Miss him dearly even to this day.
4: Goldberg: Yeah yeah I know the guy couldn't wrestle at all and he only had two moves but he was booked like a monster back in the WCW days and that was quite impressionable on a young kid like me back in the day.
3: Mick Foley: Whether it was the Hardcore style of Cactus Jack, the Crazy talking Mankind that ripped out his own hair, or the smooth talking disco loving cool cat that was Dude Love, Mick was always a great performer that you couldn't help but love.
2: The Rock: The People's Champion. Need I say more?
1: Stone Cold Steve Austin: The man who personifies the Attitude Era with his two middle fingers and drinks beer in the middle of the ring with one of the coolest finishers ever in wrestling, the Stone Cold Stunner. The Texas Rattlesnake is my all time favorite wrestler and IMO he's the best.
Hope to enjoy a lot of wrestling discussions with all you guys!

why are they fighting in the impact zone

Why does Impact look like a WWE house show?

Can't be the Impact Zone. I still see people in the audience.
Nice to see Y2J groom Daniel Bryan's future WrestleMania opponent (I'm going to stick with Harper until Sheamus gets back).
i look at this and I see Black 3 Stooges. They'd be so much better off as a heel group, especially if they brought in Truth, IMO.
I'd love that. Perhaps they bring up CJ Parker for jobbing alone. WWE could use more Matadores and Xavier Woods to give others wins after losing their feuds.

He wanted to work Bryan as a heel. Those plans fell apart when they needed Bryan more than they thought they did.

Brother Brody Harper and Chris Cage in da Impact Zone!
Their real life personalities are three stooges goofballs. It's an extension of them.
