The production values of WM 1 in particular make me laugh. The lighting makes that shit look like it's in a bingo hall.
This would probably qualify as a shoot: WM 7 is easily the best of the first nine manias.

Ebersol did more to modernize wrestling than McMahon did.
Also Starrcade 83 blows away anything the WWE ever did until Mania 3.

Hell yeah
Absolutely. Don't Breathe which just came out, The Witch. Most of the worthwhile stuff just doesn't make it to theaters, like We Are Still Here, and A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night
They fucked up when they moved Starrcade away from thanksgiving and away from the south but even Starrcade 85 did the multicity stuff better.
They bet too much on Dusty's booking and they bet too much on Magnum TA.
Plus the fucking move to Dallas and Vince fucked them over so bad with the survivor series shit,
Frankly I'm still amazed that cable companies even though Vince would pull Wrestlemania from markets in the first place.
So cold.
Oh, I guess Hulk Hogan lifting Andre the Giant high above his head and slamming him to the canvas just means nothing now.
I find it hilarious how finding an avid wrestling fan amongst a normal group of adults is a super rare thing nowadays. Met a super friendly guy out with his lady friend, he found out my girlfriend and I watch. Dude got so excited and we are already planning on doing something for Clash of Champions. It's like children making play dates.
Frankly I never grew up on WCW and only going back now am I enjoying some of their stuff. I really started watching wrestling 1998 and 1999.
Even WWE I didn't order many PPVs when I was younger but if I had to pick a fav off the top of my head?
WWE:Wrestlemania 20
WCW: Starrcade 93
Frankly I think most of the WCW stuff has aged a little bit better as the cartoony WWF/WWE stuff doesnt age as well.
At the time I will never forget what that Wrestlemania felt like.
Its so sad looking back.

Starcade 83 is such a surprisingly great PPV when compared to WM
The brawl between Colon and Abdullah is really captivating
Bob Orton and Dick Slater are great heels
Piper vs Valentine is amazing
even the Downtown Charlie Brown match is great. And I hate Jimmy Valiant.
Briscoes, Steamboat roided out of his mind.

Didn't you see him slam The Giant Paul Wight at World War 3 '95? It doesn't mean SHIT.
I actually think that match is fine.
That felt like such a huge moment and the specticle wasn't exagerated.
IT was such a terrible match that no cares anymore.

The best part of the match is when Hogan (the babyface) tries to kill Andre with a piledriver in the outside. And Andre reverses with the slowest back bodydrop of all time.

Like Dave said, the moment was shocking enough to the audience (that forgot previous slams, and future slams depending on when you watch) you forget how shit the other 99.9 percent of that match is
Andre should have tore his back brace off and got hogan in a double wrist lock.

should've did a Meltzer driver
Gotta do anything to slay Andre the Giant, brother.
it follows, you're next, the conjuring, don't breathe, off the top of my head. and probably in that order. there will be more i can't remember right this moment but yeah there are plenty of good horror films coming out all the time, it's just the lazy perception of the middle brow that it all stinks cos they saw like, paranormal activity 3 or something and said 'wow horror sucks now i remember when the shining came out'
like i saw don't breath, lights out and blair witch in the past 2 weeks and they were all at least decent.
not saying that's you, people just kind of hear people say that and go 'huh well i guess horror stinks in 2016', but it doesn't, at all.

I saw The Master Cleanse recently and highly recommend it, despite it starring the main guy from Big Bang Theory. It was sold to me as Rosemary's Baby meets Gremlins and that's a pretty good description, tbh. Good performances from the cast, good use of practical effects over CG bullshit and a really creepy yet touching story. Loved it.
Also saw Sadako vs Kayako, which is batshit insane and if you loved The Ring & The Grudge, plus wacky Japanese horrors in general, check it out.
Another one I absolutely adore from the past few years is Berberian Sound Studio, a super weird love letter to Giallo horror that's all about sound and tension.

Absolutely. Long live the new flesh
4, 9 and 11 were the worst for I though I do agree it's a poor Wrestlemania.
I'll add it to my list. Estimated watch year: 2019.

Backlash 2000 was the real Wrestlemania that year
nothing tops Steve Austin coming back to help the Rock beat the McMahon-Helmsley family for an main event ending

Apparently that was the original plan for WM2000 but Austin claimed he was hurting and couldn't participate.
I think I like Lapsed Fan's version of Austin better than Lapsed Vince. I think it's cos, Lapsed Vince pops up every 5 mins, whether JP has a good bit on his mind or not, but when Austin shows it, it's usually great. He's portrayed as a demented man who cannot live outside of his gimmick in any situation.

It's hilarious that the guy from the Kliq who learned from the best/worst with various stories of protecting his spot and running to whine to Vince about losing and has his place in wrasslin' history largely from his reign of terror is now saying wins and losses don't matter.
Vintage Michael Cole!
It's crazy that he has been in WWE since 1996. 20 fucking years and he is mediocre at best.
