Vaudevillains is also fucking stupid because you're pigeonholing both of them into heel roles that can't breathe or change in any way. It's stupid.

Disco Inferno is fun.
Vaudevillians is some shit someone thought up in 5 seconds and made no effort towards. It screams hipster wrestling writer shit.
Yeah but they're cool. It's like getting pidgeonholed into being LOD or Demolition.

Presenting a character that may be problematic does not by itself make the media problematic.

I consider the try hard Ascension to be just as bad as the vaudevillains

Vaudevillains are awesome. What is going on here?
Edit:
God damn! We need to have some kind of Pro/Con Vaudevillain tags on our avatars. XD

I personally wouldn't consider that clean, but I guess that would kinda put a wrench in my argument that Bryan was.
I saw Transformers last night in IMAX 3D. I had a good time, enjoyed the eye candy, villain was cool, and no Shia actually made me like it more. I don't hate him, but I just think it's fresher without him now.
I think I liked it about the same as part 3, but still not as much as 1, and I still don't know what Bay was thinking about part2. I'm glad he has not gone back to that style.
I know people hate these movies with a passion so I almost have to categorize this as guilty pleasure. And I don't feel guilty really, but it's at that level.
EDIT: supposedly you have to be demented to like Pain n Gain, but I liked that too :\

I enjoyed the first movie. Glad you enjoyed whatever number this one was!

I agree (except for the Disco stuff, what a hack), they're just a second rate Matt Classic.
My biggest issue is that they don't wrestle old-timey - one of them does a swanton, ffs. They should be doing cravates, bear-hugs, double-axehandles off the bottom rope, etc.

I honestly enjoy the Transformers movies. I liked 1 a lot, hated 2, was cool with 3 (though you can just skip to the Chicago parts), and 4 was alright. Too long, though.
And they're always a visual feast for the eyes so that's always a bonus for me. Say what you will about Bay, but he loves trying new tech out.
I like the Vaudevillains on NXT. They'll have to be outfitted with a different gimmick if/when they get called up though.
I think it's OK to give someone a wacky gimmick in developmental. They can get into a silly character, have fun, and still get some experience in terms of developing a character, cutting promos, telling a story in the ring, becoming familiar with camera placement, spot timing, etc. Then once they hit the main roster they're doing something completely different. Kind of like Brodus Clay only you would ideally want a less stupid gimmick and more actual wrestling ability.

The stuff shot in IMAX 3D cameras was phenomenal. If Bay can't make you look good, you're pretty much fucked.

Matt Classic did his homework, and I agree with Boots, if you're gonna get the LOOK so old, do old shit.
First I thought they did because they bored the piss out of me but Matt Classic did it right, goddammit.

Pretty much. I think James Cameron asked him to start using that stuff because the Avatar sequels are going to take so long, he didn't want the medium to die.
But yeah, Transformers movies are visual feasts with bad writing after the first one.

Vaudevillians are entertaining . Lots of fun and personality
I appreciate them at least trying to keep some sort of continuity despite the faults.
I wasn't THAT hyped about a 4th one but then I saw a pic of Prime on a Dino-T-Rex.
What was I supposed to do. Not go?

I kind of like the growing audacity they have in terms of just slotting shit in to try and fit with it. It works in a goofy Fast & Furious continuity kind of way.
Also Kelsey Grammer is awesome as a complete dickhead in AoE...and yeah Prime riding Grimlock pretty much guaranteed everybody would go
That really surprised me. He was amazing. Just perfect.

Those dudes had some sweet entrance gear. Too bad their in-ring gear though.
And since you brought them up. When I was a kid I used to think that Edge & Christian were a repackaged TT2K.
But this is the New New generation!

Thank for all the kind words. I'm really excited about the job.
I'm pumped to start. I took the drug test today. I'm kind in holding. So, a few questions if you guy have any experience with this thing -- Is there anything I should be doing or just wait for the final-final call? The manager already verbally offered the job over the phone and I accepted. How long to this process take? A few days? Should I double-check the test result made it to the employer tomorrow or just let it go and wait to hear from them?
Fingers crossed for you Liquid.

One thing Hercules has going for it is its manageable runtime compared to most of today's summer movies.

Three wrestlers so far have confirmed they've been invited to auditions for TNA's British Bootcamp 2;
. 'White Lightning' Mark Andrews - current PROGRESS Tag Team Champion, former PROGRESS Champion
. 'The F'n Guvnor' Martin Stone - current RPW British Tag Champion, final FWA Heavyweight Champion, former NXT jobber
. 'The Bollywood Dream' RJ Singh - current FPW Champion, former RPW British Tag Champion
Good opportunity for the lads, Andrews would be a perfect fit for the X-Division, as much as I'd loathe not being able to see him wrestle for PROGRESS.
