They really thought they could get Edge? Eeesh that's silly.
ReplyDeleteWith New Japan debuting on AXS (is that what's it called) and Bellator on Spike this Friday, will anyone bother watching a canned (and not particularly interesting sounding) Impact?
It's absolutely hilarious to think TNA actually thought Edge would cut ties with relatively cushy role with WWE to act as an authority figure for TNA tapings every 2 months.
ReplyDeleteEdge obviously knows TNA too well.
ReplyDeleteIn all fairness, good on them for trying. If Edge says no, then you're in the same spot you were before.
ReplyDeleteI'll DVR it and watch it at some point. Maybe once a year I'll decide to watch Impact and it's fun to watch for an episode or two just because it's something different. Then the novelty wears off and I remember that it's exponentially, near-objectively worse than WWE in every conceivable way, and I stop after maybe three episodes.
ReplyDeleteOh of course. No harm, no foul. It's still hilarious though.
ReplyDeleteI shan't let them off lightly for this! They wanted to pay huge bucks presumably for an authority figure who can't wrestle. An Authority Figure Who Can't Wrestle. Bad TNA! Bad bad bad TNA!
ReplyDeleteBecause the Hogan deal worked out so well for them, right?
ReplyDeleteHey...that guy was just made to look like a total chump on raw the other week..LETS GET HIM!
ReplyDeleteYou know, TNA, you don't need an on air authority role.
ReplyDeleteThis news is a positive just because we are all talking about TNA. This is how they need to get their name out there while they continue to promote their all new show on an all new channel. It's a win-win-win. It costs nothing to have Edge turn you down.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame Rick Rude is no longer with us. He would have made the ULTIMATE Authority figure.
ReplyDeleteOr it'll cause people to checkout the show to see why it was turned down.
ReplyDeleteBeing rejected doesn’t matter, it’s how you
ReplyDeletehandle rejection and bounce back that shows true character. #positivelydanimal
The casual fan will ask themselves, "Why can't Edge run with these bad boys?" It works. It works on a lot of levels.
ReplyDeleteIndonesia.
ReplyDelete"What's Copeland Adams doing in the Impact Zone, Taz?"
ReplyDeleteWhat's Adam Haven doing in the Impact Zone Taz?
ReplyDeleteOn this day, I see clearly that TNA sucks balls.
ReplyDeleteI laughed way harder at that then I should have.
ReplyDeleteHardsex Toncastle.
ReplyDeleteThe first RAW of 2014 did a 3.2
ReplyDeleteThe first RAW of 2015 did a 2.8
But let's keep doing the same shit over and over again.
The answer is more McMahons.
ReplyDeleteNice. So Raw down 12% year by year, TNA down 70% year by year, this is going to be quite the boom year for professional wrestling!
ReplyDeleteDixie thought she knew him.
ReplyDeleteShe did not. She did not.
And last year's Raw was against the college football title game, this year's was a week later.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be like this until Aurora Levesque takes over the company in 2026.
ReplyDeleteI just realized yesterday that Parks and Rec is back tonight. FUCK AND YES.
ReplyDeleteRoman Reigns is gonna be quite the money maker.
ReplyDeleteIT'S CYCLICAL, JACK! THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THATS HOW THE NUMBERS WORK IN *THIS* BUSINESS
ReplyDeleteIf I'm TNA I run a hotline where you call in to find out which former World Champion decided he couldn't handle TOTAL IMPACT and needs to stay home.
ReplyDelete(It's former World Champion Adam Copeland. Otherwise known as Edge. )
Did they advertise Bryan and Lesnar for this week's Raw?
ReplyDelete"YouShoot" with Lanny Poffo = Two hours. One hour and fifty-two minutes spent talking about his brother in some hyperbolic way.
ReplyDeleteAnd Always Sunny tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've heard, she's really old-school, focusing on strong angles, giving titles prestige and character development.
ReplyDeleteSemi-aside, but do things like that (or MNF, obviously) really have that much of an effect on the ratings? I haven't paid attention to the ratings since Raw and Nitro were actually close in them, so in other worse, shortly after I started watching. So I really have no idea.
ReplyDeleteHow much do the guys on legends contracts get? (I assume that's what Edge has, but I don't really know)
ReplyDeleteMoved to tuesdays and they're burning off the entire season in 6 weeks.
ReplyDeleteDamn it NBC i don't watch anything on Thursday nights, wish they had left it there.
Wrestling without an authority figure? What's next, a college football championship where we let the best teams determine the champion head to head?
ReplyDeleteOh yeah!
ReplyDeleteSo her mother belittles her and calls her a dork then.
ReplyDeleteAnd Workaholics, and Broad City. And Archer came back last week. Weeknights are funny again.
ReplyDeleteCrazy talk!
ReplyDelete#GoBucks
Last season ;_;
ReplyDeleteAt least 40 minutes will be his stories about how he can suck his own dick. Seriously, he brings that up in interviews
ReplyDeleteShe is REALLY old school. She believes in keeping Big Show strong and she thinks Kane has one more title run in him.
ReplyDeleteYeah, aside from Archer I really don't have anything on Thursdays anymore. I could've lived with it staying there. Though I don't mind them burning it off with the back-to-backs; this season, I think, is mostly going to feel like a postscript with the way the last season ended.
ReplyDeleteDidn't Shawn and Bret score 2.8s and whatever when they were champion?
ReplyDelete[Live on WWE TV, Christian approaches Edge backstage]
ReplyDeleteChristian: "Now, I've heard you've been offered the authority figure role in TNA - I mean, are you sure you want to do
that? I mean, I know quite a lot about that place, and it's a bloody
awful place, the nonsense that goes on there is unbelievable - I mean, I
don't want to second guess you but are you really sure? I mean, there
is rather a stench in the air and I wouldn't want to cause, you know, as
much as I think of you, I wouldn't want you to get in any trouble above
yourself or anything..."
[On simulcast, Taz responds]
Taz: "I
don't want to sit here and, and as a person who's been on Impact for many
years, take issue with anything anyone's said - Mr. Edge...it's his
money, he can do whatever he wants, he can...I don't know what he's
gonna do tonight, but...let me say this: to sit here and listen to them *rip* TNA? Come on. I mean, we've had to do some crazy
things, *Christian Cage,* including put *your* ass over on TV. Sorry."
She also likes My Little Pony, so watch for a Bronie character to show up any day now.
ReplyDeleteI'm finding that no one is talking about the BIGGEST news from last night: Roman Reigns has an actual goose that lays golden eggs!!!
ReplyDeleteThis disturbs me.
ReplyDeleteShe'd probably bring back a pretty boy tag-team or two like every successful wrestling promotion used to do to great success.
ReplyDeleteHell with it promote her now.
Seconded
ReplyDeleteIt's better than that brass ring Vince is gonna give him.
ReplyDeleteUh huh. Back in 1994-1995-1996, when they weren't a publicly-traded multi-million dollar company with legit advertisers and multiple departments.
ReplyDeleteYour lack of a zombie gimmick disturbs me.
ReplyDeleteNothing, but Gookers hatch from Roman's eggs.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I was necromance'd.
ReplyDeleteI never found Amy Pohler's character likable. And the fat guy that everyone hates for no reason seems too much like a new version of Toby from the office.
ReplyDeleteIt's a decent enough show, but it still feels like a watered down version of The Office to me.
I have to point out that ratings change over the years.
ReplyDeleteA 2.0 rating in 1995 and the same in 2005 or 2015 are completley different in terms of the actual amount of people watching.
Matt_NOTDEED!! (said in Scottish accent)
ReplyDeleteWhat's Sharp doing in the Impact Zone, Taz?
ReplyDeleteThe only one of those statements not true about that time period is that they weren't publicly traded. They were all those other things in 94-95-96.
ReplyDeleteI barely remembered that Raw was on last night.
ReplyDeleteI know, I know...it's just that it seems unfair to criticize Shawn and Bret as bad ratings draws when Cena gets rewarded for it.
ReplyDeleteIt was to start. Then it got hilarious.
ReplyDeleteEdge wasn't interested in TNA. In other news, Russel Wilson isn't interested in the CFL.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a change to me.
ReplyDeleteDid you quit your job, Hoss? I saw something while scrolling through the evening thread this morning.
ReplyDeleteShe's so cute!
ReplyDeleteAs far as I'm concerned, that still makes you a zombie.
ReplyDeleteThen I guess I'm not excited after all! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIf you count Jakks and Karate Fighters legit advertising.
ReplyDeleteBruno in the Hall, and now Savage? If Trips can get Martha Hart to let Owen in next, I think this will essentially make HHH's career behind the curtain more successful than his career in front of it.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't even gonna watch until my buddy who I normally watch with just showed up. Which was fine, but I told him I was more interested in the national title game. Still watched a good chunk of Raw and just made fun of it.
ReplyDeleteMartha is going to be a tough one. She's always hated wrestling and she's a philanthropist now so being associated with WWE might not be in her foundation's best interest.
ReplyDeleteSTRIDEX ACNE PADS PRESENTS SUMMERSLAM
ReplyDeleteThe real test for him will be to bury the hatchet with Punk
ReplyDeleteAubery (sp?) Plaza and the one who plays the nurse are better.
ReplyDeletePrecisely.
ReplyDeleteTHERE ARE GIANTS IN THE SKYYYYY
ReplyDeleteTHERE ARE BIG TALL TERRIBLE GIANTS IN THE SKYYYYY
That's the best way to watch the show now.
ReplyDeleteYeah, because football is the biggest draw on TV (SNF is the highest rated show on TV and the CFP semifinals last week drew the highest cable ratings ever), so against a MNF or something even bigger like CFB semifinals or finals, that's probably drawing a huge chunk of 18-49 males like myself away from RAW.
ReplyDeleteYou say tomato.
ReplyDeleteIn fairness, ratings-wise, nothing is as highly rated as it was 20 years ago because there's exponentially more ways to consume entertainment.
ReplyDeleteHow is it not legit advertising?
ReplyDeleteYup it's easy to mend fences with someone who never wronged you in any real way.
ReplyDeleteI mean i'm sure the Warrior was probably dismissive of him back in 1996 and didn't shake his hand and thank him for putting him over but that's hardly the same as mending Vince & Bruno's relationship.
As mad as Punk is, he didn't spit on Vince, punch him or publicly accuse him of murder, steroid usage or any of the other things that Vince forgave others for.
ReplyDeleteUh. Zombie tomato?
ReplyDelete"Be...different from WWE? But...but we already have James Storm doing Bray Wyatt, and we had that whole business last year where we were doing the CM Punk MITB angle from 2011, but vowed to do it better than WWE (yet almost did it worse). If we didn't have an authority figure, we might actually be relatively fresh and/or original. Fuck that."
ReplyDeleteOr that, yes.
ReplyDeleteYup.
ReplyDeleteCongrats. Proud of you bro.
ReplyDeleteFuck that. I'll give HHH no kudos at all until I see Nailz's HoF acceptance speech.
ReplyDeleteTV ratings are a fucking dumpster fire compared to 20 years ago.
ReplyDeletePart of that is due to other forms of entertainment but a lot of it is a doomed and outdated Nielsen ratings system.
It's bittersweet for me. I'm thrilled to have new episodes and more Swansonisms but bummed that this is the end.
ReplyDeleteWelcome. Sooner or later you'll discover that everything in life is going to be one big disappointment. One you realize that, there is nothing to do but just sit back, relax and wait for your body to die.
ReplyDeleteps- I got that quote from the masthead of the AARP magazine
Hulk vs Thing.
ReplyDeleteWhy would that be on AARP's masthead? Don't they already know that better than anyone? Put that shit in Highlights.
ReplyDeleteYou know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteCoke, Pepsi, McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Mountain Dew, etc, etc, etc.
"Jumpin' Pumpin' Jerkin' Dolls Presents In Your House: Step Away From the STDs" it ain't.
When your organization is called the Owen Hart Foundation, it's kind of hard to divorce yourself from the context associated with the name. It'd be like naming your organization the Joe Namath Foundation but not wanting anyone to mention that he played football.
ReplyDeletePunk will come around eventually. There's too much money on the table for either party to turn it down.
ReplyDeleteIn 10 years or so they'll be running low on headliners anyway. Unless you want to see a Hall of Fame class headlined by Chris Masters.
Wow. Hope it all works out! Sure you'll find something more fulfilling.
ReplyDeleteI find the abuse of Jerry funnier than the abuse of Toby, because it's weirdly hilarious how every character (instead of just one, like Michael to Toby) not only hates Jerry, but they do for no reason and don't question it. The lack of justification really sells it.
ReplyDeleteThe Office wishes it was as strong post-S3 as Parks has been; it didn't fall off a cliff like that show did in its back half.
If he gets Nailz, then that pretty much tells me Hunter gives the best head in the business.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but last season would've been such a perfect series finale that I'm just looking at it like a postscript, and just enjoying that we have more to finish everyone's stories.
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
ReplyDeleteI hope to see some BoD representation in the Lanny Poffo YouShoot
ReplyDeleteWait. Why the fuck would Nailz be in the HoF to begin with?
ReplyDeleteI would settle for not a call center.
ReplyDeleteHulk is in one of the sure to be biggest movies of the year,the Thing is in a FOX joint that they haven't even bothered to release a teaser for yet...or a promo poster,picture etc.
ReplyDeleteHulk wins this round.
Yeah, but Martha seems damned committed to separating the man Owen Hart from the wrestler Owen Hart.
ReplyDeleteWeren't those also considered shitty ratings back then?
ReplyDeleteHe pulled that tree out of the ground that one time.
ReplyDeleteWell, yes, that too. If I had to take a barely-educated guess, I'd say today's 2.8 at least translates to a 4.0 or so 20 years ago.
ReplyDeleteHe was a good worker by the end! And he saved his mother's life!
ReplyDeleteHonestly, from what I gathered, Hunter and Owen were really good friends backstage despite what was going on between Shawn and Bret. Look no further than his video testimony for Raw is Owen, the guy is breaking down just as bad as Jarrett was and seriously needed Chyna there for support.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone could, it's him.
Hogan inducting Savage?? Is this some sort of sick joke?
ReplyDeleteGood point.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone has any valid argument as to why Lanny Poffo would go into the Hall of Fame? He says in the shoot that he wants Randy, Angelo, and himself inducted together. Randy is a given and I get the argument for Angelo, but how the fuck would the Genius rate induction?
ReplyDelete"cabspaintedyellow from Scott's Blog of Doom writes, 'What do you enjoy most about retirement? It's the ice packs, right?'"
ReplyDelete"Well, cabs. Technically, that was before my time..."
Not sure that's a valid criteria for combat.
ReplyDeleteNobody knows, but do you really think doing 8 or so TNA tapings a year would match whatever he makes from whatever deal he has with WWE?
ReplyDeleteMahna mahna
ReplyDeleteDO DOOOOOO DODODO
Mahna Mahna
DO DODO DO
Mahna Mahna
DO DOOOOO DODODO DODODO DODODO DODODO DODODODO
I'd say so. And enough to get Vince to change the focus of the company. But nowadays, Cena just gets another title reign/main event angle.
ReplyDeleteHe wore a suit of armor to the ring for a Bunkhouse Stampede match one time. He popularized the Moonsault in North America. The Genius is one of the most well known characters of the early 90's. He has great hair. He comes from a wrestling family.
ReplyDeleteOwen - Hey Trips think you can at least put me over once in this 1998 feud? I mean it's just the European title.
ReplyDeleteHHH - Nah
*stares blankly at screen for a very long time*
ReplyDeleteI don't have anything concrete, I just vaguely remember Hulk getting the better of the Thing whenever FF crossed over with Avengers.
ReplyDeleteHulk. The angrier he gets, the stronger he gets.
ReplyDelete"Matt_NOTDEED!!! asks, 'So I just heard you can suck your own dick. Sup wit dat?!'"
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't. But it was Randy's stipulation for going in the Hall. It wasn't that Vince didn't want to induct him, it's that Randy wouldn't allow himself to be inducted unless his family went in with him, since he still felt Vince disrespected his father by not putting him in an MSG legends battle royal in the mid-80s because he didn't think anyone would know who Angelo Poffo was.
ReplyDeleteWhat argument for Angelo? Guy ran an outlaw indy promotion for like 7 years and spawned the Macho Man.
ReplyDeleteAside from that he was just a journeyman who no one would remember. Hell even Gordon Solie got pissed at his WCW induction.
Most well-known characters of the early 90s? Dude's biggest achievement was getting a major wrestling company to pay him for years without even appearing. I'll give him kudos for that.
ReplyDeleteI dunno. I read that HHH's tears were crocodile in nature and lots of wrestlers were pissed at him for it. Mostly because when Bret left, HHH and Shawn took continued shots at Owen, who just kept on being as professional as he could.
ReplyDeleteI don't know. If Macho Man Randy Savage springs forth from your loins, you deserve some kind of recognition.
ReplyDeletethe office should've ended with pan and jim's wedding. Or at least when Carell left
ReplyDeleteParks should've ended when Leslie won the election
Hey, HHH let Goldust job in his place!
ReplyDeleteValid argument? This is the HoF, one question only:
ReplyDeleteDoes he pass the Koko test?
Dude has an undefeated TV record against Hogan. Not a lot of people can say that. He was also a great prancer. Sandow is the modern day equivalent to what Lanny bought to the table. Great character guy.
ReplyDeleteMach insisted he go into WCW's crummy Hall Of Fame too.
ReplyDeleteHulk kicks the shit out of Thing quite effortlessly.
ReplyDeleteI have no argument against his prancing.
ReplyDeleteHe did an epic beatdown on Boss Man?
ReplyDeleteOwen - Okay. Is it alright if I go over X-Pac instead?
ReplyDeleteHHH - Nah
odd original pre muppett version
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXo1ufdQ4sg
When I need some entertainment I watch Boston no-sell Cena/Orton
ReplyDeleteCan Hogan make it through this induction speech without making it all about him?
ReplyDeleteThe argument for The Genius is the argument for Koko B. Ware. It's basically a Hall of Recognition.
ReplyDeleteExcept you could kind of make the case for Koko from his territory days and his (arguable) innovation in bringing a certain style to wider audiences. But even then...
Basically, it's the James Dudley Clause (which many basically consider the Koko B. Ware Clause now): if James Dudley -- Vince's limo driver -- can get in, there's no real bar for who can't.
That is what I was thinking.
ReplyDeleteBeat Hulk Hogan on national television?
ReplyDelete"Caliber Winfield writes, 'So I heard youse a bitch, and I'm ain't. Comments?"
ReplyDeleteOnly 17 men were inducted into the WCW Hall Of Fame the vast majority of whom are all legitimate legends.
ReplyDeleteLou Thesz,Verne Gagne,Harley Race,Dusty Rhodes,Terry Funk etc.
Billy Kidman isn't a Hall of Famer either.
ReplyDeleteThere is no thinking to it, Hulk has kicked Thing's ass every time they've met. And its not even been close.
ReplyDeletefor a shitty 70's band, those guys were pretty tough
ReplyDeletetrivia - every band named after a real place has been awfull
Vince is writing his speech. It starts out with, "SUFFERING SUCCOTASH!"
ReplyDeleteEdge's response
ReplyDelete[URL=http://gifsoup.com/view/3553678/domino-s-pizza-ceo-laughs.html][IMG]http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view5/3553678/domino-s-pizza-ceo-laughs-o.gif[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://gifsoup.com]GIFSoup[/URL]
Plus RAW was against Nitro then, meaning like 6+ million people were watching wrestling Monday nights. Now it's a third of that.
ReplyDeleteThere's something almost endearing about the abuse of Jerry. I think it's because they've shown us how fucking spectacular his home life is: awesome house, gorgeous wife, etc. Plus, eventually they feel bad about it at some point or get their comeuppance for it (like when Tom, Donna and Ann...I think that's who, at least, realized they did get an invite to Jerry's awesome Christmas party, they just never saw it because it was an e-mail from Jerry).
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, Toby has a sad, miserable life and Michael never really gets any comeuppance for torturing him. We're just asked to continually laugh along at his abuse of him.
He'll make it all of 12 seconds
ReplyDeleteLET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT THE MACHO MAN DUDE!...HE KNEW HOW TO LIFT THE SPIRIT OF THE CROWD ALL THE WAY TO THE HEAVENS, BROTHER...JUST LIKE HOW I LIFTED ANDRE THE GIANT OVER MY HEAD IN FRONT OF 100,000 HULKAMANIACS AT THE SILVERDOME, DUDE!
Well, it sounds as significant as anything Koko did, so alright.
ReplyDeleteYup. It was really good for a Hall of Fame. Normally, every Hall has a handful of guys you could argue against, but WCW's was pretty rock solid.
ReplyDeleteKansas. Alabama. Boston. Chicago. My god, he's right.
ReplyDeletebtw - my favorite part of this place is that sometimes I get a chance to unload some dumb piece of trivia that I've been carrying around for years.
ReplyDeleteHulk. Why would a disembodied hand give him trouble?
ReplyDeleteSaw the new Age of Ultron trailer, and I find myself wondering if they're going to just have the Avengers fight each other in every movie.
ReplyDeleteasia, Black Oak Arkansas, the list goes on and on
ReplyDeleteThese ads on the site ae a joke. The ads on the site for me today are the HHH work out program on top. I will NEVER use HHH's work out program. The one on the bottom says I should donate my car to breast Cancer. I will NEVER donate my car to breast cancer.
ReplyDeleteJust a thought: Remember how Rey Mysterio was all about winning belts as a tribute to Eddie after he inducted Eddie in the Hall of Fame? Another good way for WWE to set up Hulk Hogan's final match(es) would be for him to do it as a tribute to Randy Savage and Ultimate Warrior. How moving would that be?
ReplyDeleteI know people have a problem with it but who else could it be? I've heard Flair (he'll make it about himself), DDP (he'll talk about the same boring story when Randy let him go over), Bret (would probably do a good job but they aren't tied together professionally that well), Steamboat (ugh, Mr. Charisma himself who, despite being in an all-time classic, criticizes the match as being too formulaic) and Lanny (who will probably receive the induction and do a GREAT speech).
ReplyDeleteIt makes sense that Hulk inducts Savage. I'm not a Hulk mark but Hogan does talk glowingly about Savage as a wrestler.
*slow clap*
ReplyDelete"Moving" might be problematic at his age
ReplyDeleteOne of those two Office moments should've been the end, no doubt.
ReplyDeletehttp://omgcutethings.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/nope-005-060220131.jpg
ReplyDeleteI know, right? He'll be doing a final run for all his fellow wrestlers who went to the Big Hulkster in the Sky.
ReplyDeleteI donated a car to NPR once. I think I made the right call.
ReplyDeleteWhat will happen to this gimmick when the Hulkster dies? My god, think of the children!
ReplyDeleteI'd be OK with that
ReplyDeleteWell, in the first one it made sense since Thor was basically just going after Loki on his own while Iron Man and Cap were bringing him in. And Hulk losing control on the Helicarrier.
ReplyDeleteIn this, apparently Scarlet Witch shows each of them some vision that causes them to go at it. Including Hulk going off.
It didn't really seem any different from the first trailer, which I'm totally ok with because I don't want anything more to be spoiled.
ReplyDeleteThe advertisers they had at the name were completely legit advertisers in every aspect and in line with the demographics they were attempting to appeal to.
ReplyDeleteI'm skeptical. Other than Winter Soldier, Marvel sequels aren't really that great.
ReplyDeleteHe's IMMORTAL, brother.
ReplyDeletemake it a triple threat match, and my money is on "Zip, the What Is It"
ReplyDeletehttp://www.sideshowworld.com/13-TGOD/2005/zipzz1.JPG
I donated a car to a fat Mexican who paid me in cash once.
ReplyDelete*yawn*
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Make this happen MichaelXavier!
ReplyDeleteAlso, he's not going to need to do the Flying Elbow Drop as a tribute.
ReplyDeleteWell, there will be a Hogan match this year so it's already happening. I'm just trying to suggest some additional context.
ReplyDeleteI just meant it was crummy in the sense that they never really made anything of it or did anything with it. I think it was dropped after 2 years.
ReplyDeleteWhat's this about NJPW and AXS?
ReplyDeleteActually, I think Hulk should do that. Just so I can see a hip explosion live on TV.
ReplyDeleteEven if all of the above have small reasons why they wouldn't be a perfect fit, that still puts them ahead of Hogan for me. I would go with Steamboat (assuming Lanny is being inducted).
ReplyDeleteGive it time.
ReplyDeleteAn English language TV show debuting on Friday night
ReplyDeleteAfter the heart stops beating, the body immediately starts turning cold. This phase is known as algor mortis, or the death chill. Each hour, the body temperature falls about 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit (0.83 degrees Celsius) until it reaches room temperature. At the same time, without circulation to keep it moving through the body, blood starts to pool and settle. Rigor mortis, or a stiffening of the body, sets in about two to six hours after death While the body as a whole may be dead, little things within the body are still alive. Skin cells, for example, can be viably harvested for up to 24 hours after death But some things that are still alive lead to the putrefaction, or decomposition, of the body -- we're talking about little organisms that live in the intestines.
ReplyDeleteA few days after death, these bacteria and enzymes start the process of breaking down their host. The pancreas is full of so many bacteria that it essentially digests itself. As these organisms work their way to other organs, the body becomes discolored, first turning green, then purple, then black. If you can't see the change, you'll smell it soon enough, because the bacteria create an awful-smelling gas. In addition to smelling up the room, that gas will cause the body to bloat, the eyes to bulge out of their sockets and the tongue to swell and protrude. (In rare instances, this gas has created enough pressure after a few weeks to cause decomposing pregnant women to expel the fetus in a process known as coffin birth.)
A week after death, the skin has blistered and the slightest touch could cause it to fall off. A month after death, the hair, nails and teeth will fall out. The hair and nails, by the way, while long rumored to keep growing after death, don't have any magical growth properties. They merely look bigger as the skin dries out. Internal organs and tissues have liquefied, which will swell the body until it bursts open. At that point, a skeleton remains.
Thor was okay, but it mostly the Loki show.
ReplyDeleteIron Man 2 is better in hindsight since it's building up to the Avengers movie, but as a standalone it leaves a lot to be desired. Iron Man 3 on the other hand is a work of genius.
Maybe a Hogan match on an indie show that Jimmy Hart runs. But on WWE TV? Nope, not happening.
ReplyDelete
