It's so blatantly obvious that this cash-in only happened so Charlotte can immediately win the title back. Gotta rack up them title wins somehow.

Drakkel posted:

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.

From the press release:

quote:



"The show will delve into WWE during the 1990s, at the time Rupert Murdoch had purchased the New York Post to further his massive infiltration into the U.S. media landscape. For years, infamous Post writer Phil Mushnick regularly hammered WWE Chairman & CEO Vince McMahon in his column. Headlines like “Legislators Give WWE A Free Pass On ‘Roids” and “McMahon Skips Through the Cemetery” eventually captured the attention of the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York – the nation’s most prestigious federal prosecutor’s office with a conviction rate of over 96 percent.

In 1994, the U.S. government indicted McMahon for allegedly supplying anabolic steroids to WWE talent. McMahon, with his liberty at stake, two school-aged children at home and with WWE on the brink of bankruptcy, refused to take a plea deal. Ultimately, McMahon stood trial and was acquitted unanimously by a jury of his peers and went on to build a multi-billion-dollar global sports entertainment empire."

Good thing there was only one massive scandal facing this proud American and father at that time. Now that we're settled that, we can only focus on the bright future of the WWE!

This is totally going to be on the same level as United Passions. The recaps and reviews of this are going to be amazing.

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

Do you think Dunn saw that clip from Taken where Liam Neeson has to climb over a fence and it somehow takes 48 camera cuts and a dozen different camera angles to do it and was like "This is it, this is what motion picture is meant to be!"

It definitely didn't invalidate him in his mind seeing his approach utilized in what became a film franchise worth nearly ($70mil shy of) a billion dollars at the worldwide box office

Taken 3 wasn’t as bad as Raw, there weren’t any incredibly bad-looking camera angles where they follow Liam neeson swinging a bat or other blunt object at someone and have the cameraman start violently headbanging so they can give me motion sickness
