It's a fun, memorable and quotable film that holds up to repeat viewings, but is also absolutely put on a pedestal that it hasn't really earned.

Yeah. The holding it up as though it's some kind of seminal piece of work that is somehow beyond criticism is really bizarre, especially since it was immediately followed by bad sequels. It's a quite good film and had really good cartoons and toys but it's not particularly More Special than a lot of other fun films of the era or just after. It's not like people are this devoted to Men In Black.

Though I did enjoy my Stay Puft Marshmallow Man toy very much and he would always storm my Fisher-Price Castle :colbert:

I really hope he gets his "Sorry for not being at Forb" match soon. He really is a highlight of every MLW show I've seen him on and I was really excited for him to get a big Pape showing :smith:

According to Renee, he barely knows how to use a computer, and hunt and pecked his entire book on her laptop

I've mentioned this before but DJ Hyde once told me Mox had a flip phone until, like, 2015, and until he met Renee the only furniture he had in his house was a gigantic bed he'd use for orgies. Whenever he wanted a new CZW guy's shirt Deej would have to send it to a PO Box address and wait for WWE to tour there. This would not surprise me.

Mox was a CZW guy so any/all caveman poo poo about him will never surprise me. The only surprising thing is that someone who came out of that fed made it so far, he was the crown jewel of a dungheap

This is such a 2011-rear end take. CZW had tons of great talent throughout, and most of today's stars that are getting big shots like MJF, Adam Cole, Dezmond Xavier, Sami Callihan, Private Party, and far more were all wrestling there in 2017. 2017 CZW especially was a hotbed of talent along with PWG just before All In and AEW. They're not all Cage Of Death matches. This isn't NWA Mountain State.

skate zone was good times

It really felt like an incredible era, and the people behind the scenes were poised to run the world. The locker room energy was hot. It still warms my heart to see Ace Austin killing it in Impact and Japan. I could only make it to one show and it was to work the merch table but it was electric. The pandemic put an end to it way too quickly.

Man, I miss Ace Romero.

You're too right here. :smith: Reprehensible poo poo chanted constantly. One of my good friends was just coming out as gay when Jake Crist debuted his Artist gimmick there and got some violently homophobic chants and it messed him up. Sucked. Great product, horrendous fans.

Gunner somehow managed to get worse every single year he wrestled and now that he's had the most hilariously underwhelming retirement possible he's found rock bottom and is digging ever deeper. It's almost impressive.

I only read Tietam Brown and while the ending didn't quite work, I thought it was pretty drat good up to that point. Hey, if Stephen King can make a phenomenally successful career out of that, why not Mick Foley!

Man, I miss my copy of Tietam Brown. I found it in a charity shop in England and devoured it but when my nan died I think it got thrown away or sold. His books really were ambitious and interesting even if they got a little shaky. I still remember the revulsion I felt at the scene where a guy nearly gets his balls pulled off :stonk:

I love Mick. His books made me love wrestling and he's still making great posts on FB and is one of the few reasons to still be on it. The man is a multi-time bestselling author! Let him cook!

Yeah, it’s great! A while back he was giving access to his WCW google drive which also rules and if I ever make the homebrew TV station in my house that’s for sure going to be in there.

It's such a great drive. The MTV WCW specials are especially worth it. There's only two of them but they are so bizarre, and Raven spends one of them very clearly hating his life and talking poo poo about Madonna. Hilarious.

That Brian Hildebrand story is really nice. I knew about him but didn't know the pyro part. Great stuff.

The crossover aspect still whips now, I didn't watch it as it aired because I wasn't into wrestling at the time but even seeing it in a modern context it feels so cool. There's some cheese to it but the crossover aspect of it all has such great energy. I don't know what the equivalent of it would be today. Maybe the AEW/CEO crossover, maybe Kenny Omega as Sans? Either way it would be cool if a modern day version of the Snowbrawl and Beach Brawl could happen.
