My biggest takeaway is how shockingly watchable the camerawork is. Still poorly framed and missing spots, but not nauseating.

Keep in mind this video was made square for whatever reason, so the widescreen/regular version probably isn't as weirdly framed. Kind of surprised at how little fast zooming in and out there is on impact compared to today's poo poo.

I should say that there is very little chance the series happens and other than a few vague variety articles and some follow up in the Observer you may never hear about this again.

Speaking of, who do you think will be cast as Stephanie, to tearfully deliver the "my dad's steroid trial/tax investigation was just as tragic as 9/11" speech, with emotional music swelling dramatically in the background

The drum roll from the start of Territorial Pissings but every drum hit is a montage shot of a needle hitting a butt cheek.

I wouldn't be surprised if they change the narrative to "The government planted those drugs in the locker room to bring down the WWF!" Bonus points if they try to imply it was at the behest of Ted Turner.

IT'S LIKE I CAN TOUCH YOU!

I, for one, am looking forward to this gripping true story of the scrappy underdog millionaire wrestling promoter/bodybuilding enthusiast/supplement salesman who just wants to put on some good, clean family wrestling fun but is beset at all sides by greedy wrestlers who care more about money than putting smiles on children's faces, dastardly rival promotions who want to put him out of business by putting on better shows than him, and evil mincing government thugs who want to ruin his life for literally no reason anyone can possibly imagine.

I’ve always thought Timothy Olyphant could do a good Vince. He doesn’t look like him at all but he’s a good actor who can do weird, which you need for Vince.

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.



I think I remember WWE wanting to do a Vince biopic at some point and Stephanie was hoping to get Bradley Cooper

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

Imagine if it was styled like 24 so you have like a scene where VInce and Nailz are fighting backstage (except in this show Vince is the one kicking Nailz' rear end) while another screen shows FDA agents cracking open crates of ICOPRO

Dave mentioned on Observer Radio this morning that the Nikki ASH gimmick is absolutely bombing hard with house show audiences. Probably not a good omen going forward for Nikki if so. I mean they'll try and sweeten the audience for her, but that won't work.

"I'm a giant loser and I want to feel better about myself" isn't a winning gimmick, who'd have thought it?

Funny thing is that this gimmick isn't a WWE idea. Nikki is taking all of the credit for the idea from the motivation to how her character is portrayed.

The one time Vince listens to someone and this is what happens. :negative:

Slapping on a 20 year old gimmick that was midcard level and then shoving a title belt onto it is probably not a winning combo.

The gimmick honestly had potential (the costume needed work though) but they literally gave the title to her 3 weeks after she debuted it so who gives a poo poo.
