That's not even an original piece of artwork, they just swiped it off some guy's deviantart and ran it through a filter! Somehow that makes me angrier than somebody making a card for a game with that nazi's name on it.

Halloween Jack posted:That championship was also held, very briefly, by each successive component of a bowl of curry, which a wrestler then won by eating the pork cutlet on top. Winning a championship belt by eating your opponent is more hardcore than 1,000,000,000,000,000 sick chairshots.

This is the same promotion that has a blowup doll and invisible man as competitors. That's silly as hell but you watch those matches and it blows your mind witnessing the talent of the person in the ring selling those as believable competitors. mango sentinel fucked around with this message at 20:13 on Feb 10, 2017 |

Evil Mastermind posted:Personally, I liked the one where the audience became champion, then immediately lost it due to being counted out of the ring. The fact that three different ladders have won, and at times successfully defended the title amuses me. Also the fact that the belt has not only been the champion of itself, but it has also been won and lost by an entirely imaginary wrestler named Arnold Skeskejanaker.

There was also the time that Eric Bischoff challenged Vince McMahon to a shoot fight, and when Vince declined, he did put himself on a WCW card just so he could have the ref count out McMahon and declare victory. That wasn't comedy wrestling, that's just how deluded and petty Bischoff was at the time.

The slow collapse of WCW is fascinating on a lot of levels. I still say the best was Bischoff trying to spoil that Mick Foley was going to win the belt on RAW, which lead to most of his audience going "oh poo poo, Foley's finally getting the belt? I gotta see that! *channel switch*". This also gives me a chance to link 306 Quotes from Meltzer about WCW, which is mostly about Russo's stuff but is still great reading. quote:"Thursday was supposed to be a grudge Flair vs. Benoit lumberjack match. However, WCW forgot to tell Flair he was booked. Jason Hervey was in Charlotte at request of management and they gave Flair off Thunder because they were producing an upcoming Flair home video, but never informed the people writing the show about Flair having the day off. When they panicked since Flair wasn't there at 6pm, they called him and told him to get to Syracuse. At the cost of thousands of dollars, they chartered a flight from Charlotte to Syracuse to get Flair to Thunder, but due to the weather problems it couldn't get off the ground until 7pm. The show was put together with the idea that Flair would do several interviews building to the Benoit match. So virtually the entire Thunder show was filling time. Flair finally arrived at 9:55pm, but they had already changed plans for the show because they had to be off the air at 10:03pm because TBS decreed that the Chimp movie had to start on time. When Flair got there, they told him he wasn't needed and to go right back home. So, as a panic move, the decision was made to turn the Kanyon-Saturn singles match into a tag title match. However, Bam Bam Bigelow wasn't there either, so Kanyon defended the titles with Page with zero explanation given to have this make sense. It wasn't even announced as a title match until about a minute left"

Evil Mastermind posted:Seriously, this guy sells being powerbombed by a blow-up doll better than some wrestlers I've seen facing real humans. Ibushi is maybe the best wrestler working today, and looks like an irl superhero. He's also in the latest movie from the visionary auteur behind Calamari Wrestler and Crab Goalkeeper. https://youtu.be/MyZQt-Rny4U Minoru Suzuki is also there for some reason.

The gaming industry could really tap into some serious cultural zeitgeist by releasing a bunch of antifa media right about now. Like, even a rerelease of the earlier Call of Duty games could probably sell well.

conversely, media such as tabletop games also serve as ways of communicating values to large bands of people, values such as "it is good to punch nazis"

Just play some Eclipse Phase. It has about as much nuance as the unilateral call for Nazi-punching has.
