I think I will watch that awful Chun Li movie, and then watch that awful Chun Li movie again, before I watch this new one. Neal is M. Bison in that one, which is its own kind of awesome/terrible.

Gaz-L posted:He plays him as Irish for some reason! When you get Neal McDonough to play M. Bison for your awful Chun Li movie, who are you to tell him he can't play Bison as Irish. From what I've heard, the movie is chock-full with bizarre performances like that, like the director gave everybody a Macho Man Promo amount of cocaine and had them brainstorm their ideas for their characters.

Liquid Communism posted:I mean this is his retirement. He shows up, does whatever, and spends most of his time getting paid and surfing. On the one hand, good for him, on the other hand one of the reasons I stopped watching WWE is how I'm supposed to be hyped for phenomenal wrestlers because they are successfully getting paid. Just totally losing my poo poo when someone like Owens makes his way to a lovely squash going "Wooo, go get that paycheck!"

forkboy84 posted:To be fair to WWE, they've done this lovely think for a lot longer than just All In, hell, even before AEW existed. It's an awful company that will fire you for any reason they want but won't let you leave if you're unhappy. I mean, it can be both. In fact, with WWE it can be every and any reason imaginable, as long as they are generally horrid, undermining the basic assumption of human dignity, or pleasing one or the other member of a fascist regime around the globe.

Island Nation posted:Honestly, If the strikes are still going on and they can't The Rock to appear at Mania, it's not worth bothering. He'll likely be booked up with film shoots for a few years around that time. Not sure when they'll induct him in the HOF in that case. lol who gives a poo poo about The Rock's last match anymore? It's abundantly clear he will be back eventually. It's honestly pretty pathetic of both Vince and The Rock how they are playing around with the expectations around the match against Roman; it's going to loving happen. Maybe not next year, or the year after, but it will happen and there will be a million lovely ads for it when it does, trying to convince everybody that this was actually worth the wait. And then five years after The Rock will have a five-second squash against Doink's grandson and die five days later, who loving cares?

Sami can be champion at whatever events there are that aren't necessary to build up for the inevitable Rock-Reigns-rematch to the inevitable first Rock-Reigns-Finally-Once-In-A-Lifetime-Episode I match. He will simply hand over the belts during a commercial break on Raw when the time comes and then proceed to beat Dolph Ziggler in handicap tag matches with Kevin Owens.

Like, seriously, hands up: Who is going to be hyped when The Rock drops the first hints that he has finally FINALLY COME BACK to fight roman reigns If you felt even the slightest rush imagining even current-day The Rock saying that in the middle of a WWE ring, you know that he is coming back. MJeff posted:I don't think Rock is coming back and I never have and I think it even less the more time passes cause the dude is in his drat 50s and tore a pec every time he wrestled a decade ago. Age and match quality is not going to stop him or WWE from eventually doing this, like come on!

Being part of a very successful TV program might help his brand. Getting millions of dollars from Saudi Arabia or whatever might help. Just betting on brand rejuvenation for delivering a "long-awaited" marquee match might help.

Holding titles forever is the new Thing, surely there is some female Bruno that Becky can "beat". That way, she has her very own Participation Price title to satisfy her fans and keep her out of the way of Charlotte until it is time for a title unification, baby.

I just watched/listened to that whole thing again despite having seen it a few dozen times because I love it a whole loving lot; many of those times I've seen it with my sons who love it just as much, possibly because they sense how much I love it. I am still incredibly wary of the live-action remake because I don't trust The Rock to bring that kind of fun and energy again and if he fucks it up it will probably make my sons at least a little sad... But I still want him to do it if it means Cody gets suckered again.

They will book him OK-ish for three weeks and then he will get hurt, WWE stans are going to lose their minds over the ~potential~ in his return! Also, quoting myself from a little over a week ago: Grendels Dad posted:lol who gives a poo poo about The Rock's last match anymore? It's abundantly clear he will be back eventually. It's honestly pretty pathetic of both Vince and The Rock how they are playing around with the expectations around the match against Roman; it's going to loving happen.

I am extremely cold on Cody because he acts like he is the protagonist of a story when he has done everything in his power not to be. It's not even his story anymore, he isn't the main character, he is not even a hero anymore. All this while being clearly very talented at many aspects of wrestling, it's just kind of frustrating to behold and makes Schadenfreude come easy.

The difference to me is that the Jackass guys set out to get hit in the nuts with a 20 pound frozen fish. They don't try to sell me on the idea that they went back to the Get Hit In The Nuts Factory to finally fulfil their dream and their promise to their dead dad and whatnot.

Pinche Rudo posted:I think now that Vince doesn’t have sole control, he’s going to be forced out/retired in the next few years. I just can’t see TKO/Endeavor keeping him on super long as he’s already 78, still has some lingering investigations going on, and could start clashing with Ari Emanuel as he’s used to being the top dog. I think Vince’s current role is going to be transitional and he eventually winds up with maybe a board seat, but no actual day to day authority over operations. Have you considered that Vince's world runs on the same narrative laws as the Game of Thrones show, wherein the dude/lady most suited for any role gets shanked five minutes into their time at the top and the most horrible person in any given scene getting the power?
