Halloween Jack posted:It's still bizarre to me that before WCW brought him back onboard, it seems that Hogan really was interested in leaving wrestling behind to become a bigger star in other media. And then he was "Hollywood Hogan" after a proven record of being box office poison. Was this before or after Suburban Commando? Because I'll have you know that Suburban Commando is... kinda lovely but I like it a lot.

Hogan was still in WWF when they shot Suburban Commando. Hollywood Hogan was fine because they ran it as an excuse to take Hogan off TV and be a heel. He was still shooting movies, just what would amount to a WWE Films release today.

I love that Santa with Muscles played an important role in making Bash at the Beach 96 so impactful.

Why did WWE films partner with another company to release Oculus? I'm pretty sure it's the best movie they've been involved in (and there are no wrestlers in it, just an in-joke about Triple H).

I think there's been like 2 movies where they were the only production company.

Pope Corky the IX posted:Watching old Raws, Nitros and PPVs in the 90s is really funny if you pay attention to all the movies and TV shows Hogan mentions he's going to be in that either never materialized or failed spectacularly. The thing that never stopped amusing me throughout those Nitro episodes on the network was Hogan's assertion that he was raking in bank at the box office. More than once he says that Spielberg called him up to congratulate him. They were planning on Santa With Muscles being huge and it was a dismal failure. Funnily enough, Giant probably had a more successful movie career than Hogan did. At least he got to act with Arnie.

Pope Corky the IX posted:Thing is, you could still gimmick something like the Lethal Lottery and still end up with all that crazy poo poo. At least so you can make sure they can all work together or at least plan something out ahead of time. I honestly think the Lethal Lottery was a brilliant idea that really could work with some tweaking. Two guys feuding that are paired together and it leads to them losing. Or that they find some mutual respect for one another and become an antagonistic tag team. It could also be used as a way to start the split of a long-running tag team by having them on opposing teams. Etc, etc Yeah, but randomness (or, I guess, an admirable attempt at faking it) means that you can't just rely on the same cliches over and over again. The second one definitely felt a lot more predictable than the first one, iirc

It's a very special anniversary today! "In something the company and industry should have learned from about setting up stunts that mean nothing without careful planning, Bill Goldberg's career was threatened and Bret Hart's life was put in jeopardy in a stunt on a Thunder taping in Salisbury, MD. The close of the show was for Goldberg to chase Hart out of the building. Hart was to jump in a car and speed off, however, the parking lot was covered in ice, and Hart, suffering from the effects of a concussion, unbeknownst to himself at the time, lost control of the car and nearly crashed into a production truck before luckily gaining control. Goldberg wasn't nearly as lucky, as in the heat of battle, he decided to punch through a non-gimmicked limousine window that supposedly contained Vince Russo. When the first few blows didn't break the window (he was supposed to use a small hammer to break the window but didn't) his elbow did, resulting in a career threatening injury that kept him out of action for several months."

Retro Observer! From October 27th 1997:quote:World Championship Wrestling once again broke its all-time gate record this past week. But the amazing thing is, it's a show that is more than one month away. quote:With the Monday Night ratings war still being the hot topic of discussion and comparisons within the industry, at least in the United States, a secondary set of question which hasn't been answered has come up. Who draws what ratings and why? quote:Nitro on 10/20 from Biloxi, MS drew 5,950 paying $123,075. Lanny Poffo was involved in a dark match although we don't know his opponent or the result.

What a prick. Does he not realize how many people significantly more talented his dad had to bury and how many injuries he faked to send him to private school. I bet Big Kev even gave him Rey Mysterios' mask after he triumphed over him.

I am embarrassed to post this not because I was a big enough Sting fan when I was 14 that I made this for an art class but because it is really bad and I got so much better later on and took AP art classes. Unfortunately I never painted Sting in oils or even acrylic. It is my Christmas present to all of you.

Dude, that rules. Better than most of us could do. You should make a new one this year, with Joker Sting. Also, love the inclusion of the "When a man's heart..." monologue. Looking forward to the inevitable post-Mania Sting BR set, featuring the glossing over of post-WCW up to his appearance this year. "Then, the Man Called Sting went into exile..."
