Don’t meet your heroes I guess

Arguably a better babyface in the early 90’s than any of Vince's top guys at the time. Especially in the time Flair left Atlanta, he started making a connection with their strongholds, as well as making an impression in Japan too. His mid-90’s reinvention did much to help translate to a more edgy audience, but he never really lost being a good guy in all that. Even when companies stupidly tried turning him heel. Despite so much working against him, he could still bring it. I am very happy he got to go out with his head high. So many deserve that and few get it, I am glad he is one of the lucky ones. Because he was one of the great ones.

Paul Heyman the first inductee announced. In Philadelphia this could be a hell of a speech.

Johnson just announced he's producing a Flair bio-pic, even referencing him in the now viral promo he cut on Cody Rhodes. After the bad portrayal of him in The Iron Claw it'll likely behoove the filmmakers to do his story long-form that much more justice.

Dave Bautista is really good in both Dune movies, and in the 2nd one he has a bit more screen time. I could see Villeneuve keeping him in movies going forward, maybe even leading something.

Speaking of Netflix, the episode of their sports docu-drama series Untold, entitled “Crime & Penalties” has footage of Triple H, Rock and Chyna at a birthday party for the subject, whose father (both interviewed btw) is said to be the primary inspiration for Tony Soprano. They all look rather uncomfortable being there in the VHS footage of the party they are briefly seen in.

I have never seen the movie Diner but I remember a clip from it playing on television when a young Ellen Barkin says “I just like the music”. Kind of how I feel about fandom generally. AFAIK Bill Simmons left on bad terms with HBO so I don’t see them picking it up although they have the perfect footage of Vince going nuts on television to interviewers. Honestly the recent revelations have pushed me to not even care if it sees the light of day anymore. I will only watch Vince on tv again if someone gives him the Roger Robb treatment. Preferably in a court with 12 jurors.

He is making an art out of stuffing his foot into his mouth.

With the promise of new allegations

Especially if you have the hard-on for uncle sam Vince likely had

Not sure why were discussing it here

Logan Paul did a promo wearing Apple Vision. Long live the new flesh.

Fired today

Dwayne was the highest paid man in Hollywood for awhile, so that means something plus I was under the impression that Reagan's career wasn't as hot, even compared to stars of the time. He was doing pretty bad movies by the end of his acting career.

The movie he is doing with Ben Safdie about the UFC fighter sounds promising enough a project that can show him tackling something that can show his dramatic chops, which I believe hes always had going back to his first real run as a face after the run with the Nation. When he could be vulnerable but still intimidating in interviews.

So do we think the new job is the last nail in the coffin for his presidential delusions?

Heymans hands clean of this would be the first real good news to take from this whole mess.

Put him in the announcers booth.

If from just the perspective of the onscreen product, from a distance it looks like things are in trouble.

Every 60 seconds was stupid.

Did anyone else notice that the times they put up for the entrants in the longest didnt really jibe with the 90-second intervals? That means it is 45 minutes when the ring fills up, and it felt like some of them had 40 minutes in when it was still in the early 20’s as far as the draw.

McAfee was a third wheel in the booth tonight. The womens Rumble was better. Cody winning, and maybe more importantly Punk losing, makes a ton of sense.

The show must go on
