MassRafTer posted:Do I only notice Chris Claremont talk after 372 Pages did his Willow book with George Lucas or did Claremont have some kind of renaissance in the last year? His storyline re-introducing Carol Danvers to the Marvel comics continuity and how he called out the then all-male writing and editorial team deserves some respect, especially by having her pretty much tell the Avengers to go choke on a gently caress and kill themselves for being great big fans of rape.

Jerusalem posted:I think we might have had this conversation before, but what IS Randy Orton's best match? Vs. Mick Foley waaaaaay loving back in like 2004? I'm having a look at profightdb's list of Meltz stars In his first couple of years after making the main roster, he's consistently hanging around the 3.5~4.5 stars area. They start listing his matches from 2003 onwards (it looks like his OVW work hasn't been rated and I'm not sure how widely available it is, and I can't recall if he had any matches in 2002 prior to busting up his shoulder). So here are the 3.5 or higher matches, according to Meltz's ratings (Note: I've ignored Royal Rumbles MITB and Elimination Chamber matches) 2003 Randy Orton v. Shawn Michaels (Unforgiven) - 3.5 Team Bischoff v. Team Austin (Survivor Series) - 4.25 - I know this is a multi-man, but as I recall, Orton was a major part of this match. 2004 Evolution v. Rock 'n' Sock Connection (WrestleMania XX) - 3.75 Evolution v. Benoit, Foley, HBK and Shelton Benjamin (RAW, 12/4) - 4 Randy Orton v. Cactus Jack (Backlash) - 4.5 Batista and Orton v. Benoit and Edge (Raw, 17/5) - 4 Randy Orton v. Chris Jericho (Raw, 5/7) - 3.5 Randy Orton v. Edge (Vengeance) - 4.25 Randy Orton v. Edge (Raw, 19/7) - 4 Batista, Orton and Flair v.

But at Survivor Series 1999, he's booked like a goddamned megastar: Starts the night beating the poo poo out of his Survivor Series match team mates because he doesn't need them. Beats the piss out of the team of Bossman, Albert, Mideon and Viscera, barely breaking a sweat and eliminating 3 of them within a minute, causing Bossman to run away. Gets added to the title match, and despite Rock and HHH double teaming him constantly and interference from DX, he wins the title, ending the night as champion.

PaybackJack posted:As someone who lives in Asia I can tell you that if you buy a wiener on a stick in a night market they'll most certainly squirt it with ketchup, same with corn dogs. Yellow mustard is an option but a slightly rarer one. Relish is not very popular here because pickles aren't popular, probably due to the price but also dill isn't really a thing here so you don't have people making their own. Kimchi and Sriracha are not common but I have seen it before. If the place is very westernized then there might be a "Mexican" dog on the menu which includes pico de gallo. Similarly there are "Japanese" dogs that have teriyaki sauce or "Texas" dogs that have BBQ sauce. Chili dogs are also fairly common at such places, though not popular. Curry dogs exist as well but these are usually situations where the sausage is a homemade one that had curry powered added during the mixing and not curry poured on top. Basically, Americans are to junkfood what the English are to sports - they're good at coming up with good ones, but someone else will always do it better.

I can't say I'm a fan of "top face (or someone pretty close to it) takes on guy who's already wrestled earlier in the show." It feels like an inherent heel move. The match was great, and I suppose it gives O'Reilly an out, and gives O'Reilly and co. potentially something to do.
