TheDuke

I just feel the whole face turn has been kind of lame. If you watch AAA, it was awesome, but I think the majority of people buying tickets for Raw each week aren't watching AAA and so don't really care. I don't think most American fans care what happens in AAA. And really, Gable's face run should be playing out on AAA. He lost an unmasking match, not a loser leaves town match. He should have done his apology tour and then went back to AAA. The AAA fans would have loved him right now. On Raw his face run just seems kind of flat.

When Chad Gable made his speech after beating Penta I was kind of hoping he was going to say that now he has proven he is superior to Lucha Libre and turn heel again.

Sometimes my posts can be more "Dookie" than "Duke" I will give you that.

Looks awful.

If you guys end up doing an episode on Teen Titans you should give that episode the subtitle: "Mystery Teen Titans Theatre"

Happy Canada day @Ricky Jacksonand Travis and any other Canadians visiting today. (I think @The Thread Killer is Canadian). When Kelly and Johnny were discussing Canada and Spider-Man, I don't remember if you mentioned Todd McFarlane was Canadian, and I don't think you showed off when he drew the cover for the Canadian exclusive comic that was given out free in schools, The Amazing Spider-Man: Skating on Thin Ice! #1.

Dude, forget Marvel. You should check in on what's happening with Fantasy Masterpieces. We learn a lot this episode about Kelly's love for The Mighty Hercules!

Walloping Websnappers that was a great season! Here is my comments in my usual stream of consciousness style. Feel free to not read them on the show or to just cherry pick certain comments and don't feel you have to read the whole thing. My favorite Simpsons quote about Canada is the one Johnny quoted: "I moved here from Canada and they think I'm slow,eh?" Actually, one time on a high school band trip to the USA, we were meeting a group of American students and they asked if any of us Canadians wanted to say anything to the American group, my brother said "I'm from Canada and they say that I'm slow, eh?" as a garbled reference to that episode. I don't think they were Simpsons fans as they completely no-sold it, and I was completely embarrassed as I was afraid they thought my brother was serious. I grew up watching the Rocket Robin Hood cartoon and loved the theme song but don't remember if it aired daily or weekly or even which channel it was on. I am surprised Johnny doesn't like Prince of Thieves as I feel like I remember everyone liking that movie and it was huge when it came out. The Disney animated Robin Hood was a big deal as well when I was a kid but as an adult I don't think it's as amazing as I remember. The one thing I remember about the Russel Crowe Robin Hood was the silly stunt casting of having the Merry Man Alan A'Dayle played by a man named Alan Doyle of Canadian band Great Big Sea. Come to think of it, Prince of Thieves was also connected to a different famous Canadian singer Bryan Adams who had a hit from the movie soundtrack "Everything I Do". So there's some connection between Canadians and Robin Hood I guess. Actually I'm surprised you didn't play the Michael Buble version of Spider-Man since he's Canadian and save the Ramones for the actual Spider-Man episode. Man, I had such feelings of nostalgia hearing those audio clips, especially Rocket Robin Hood. I haven't seen this since I was a child but it stayed in my subconscious because of how freaky it seemed to me. I really love when science fiction is weird. One of the biggest strengths of Star Trek TOS was how weird and creepy and unexplained a lot of it's science fiction was. Like the mysterious Guardian of forever that modern Trek Discovery changed into a friendly grandpa or when the Squire of Gothos was over-explained as being a Q in Strange New Worlds. You know, Nixon has been Vice President in the 50s and had run and lost against JFK so I could imagine the voice actor for the president of space deciding to do a Nixon impersonation. It's been a long time now, but I believe we had UHF here in Atlantic Canada. I believe Global was on UHF. If Kelly thought those Marvel cartoons with just the moving mouths were bad, I am guessing he maybe never owned the VHS tapes from the 80s that were just a slide show of still pictures froma children's book with audio of somebody just reading the book. But even in more recent times we have had "motion comics" on DVD which were still images from the comics that were very slightly animated (like an image moving across the screen for example) and somebody acting out the characters. I remember having a hard time with the Watchmen motion comic with that dude doing the female characters by trying to talk in a girly voice. I can't believe Tito Santana of all people did a "run-in" during your Spider-Man review. These modern bookers today I wish I could remember the first comic I owned. When I was 8 my family moved from Labrador to Nova Scotia and I feel like a lot of my toys and comics were just abandoned or given away rather than packed up and shipped across the oceans ( since where we were in Labrador wasn't reachable by highway from the rest of Canada but only by plane or boat). My first super hero comics would have been Batman or Superman as well as Archie, Disney, and comics based on 80s toys like He-Man or whatever. I do remember most of my first comic books had the cover missing, and I realized afterwards per that warning on the books that they were probably ones that the store had returned the front covers for refunds and then probably sold the coverless books to my mom at a discount. I remember that Saturday Mornin Cartoon album coming out and how cool it was, but I really liked the School House Rock Rocks album was really awesome. George Lopez' stand up is okay but his work pencilling Teen Titans just before Perez was out of this world

I have to admit, outside of Justice League and Superfriends, I am not a big fan of Wonder Woman. I recently bought a Wonder Woman: Challenge of the Gods book at a Free Comic Book Day sale at my local comic shop that reprints issues 8 to 14 of the George Lopez post-crisis 80s run so we will see how that goes. I did like that movie about the creator of Wonder Woman you guys mentioned. I don't believe I ever saw the 70s live action series. The modern DC movie wasn't that great, and I started watching the sequel but never finished it because I wasn't enjoying it. That Justice League unlimited series Johnny mentioned is I think my favorite DC animated series. Can't wait for Herc and Rocket Robin Hood.

Thank you guys for continuing to make these. I really enjoyed this one. And thank you Johnny for singing the full Popeye song. I love the full song but it feels like I usually only hear the first part of it. And yes, I am a dude. I have never read the Popeye comics. They used to show the original black and white Fleischer cartoons on Saturday mornings on TCM where they would only show one a week which was annoying as I would usually want to sit and watch a block of cartoons not just one, but I think they were trying to emulate the feel of being at a movie theatre in the 30s as they would usually also show an hour long B western, a live action short, and a single episode of an old movie serial like Tarzan or Flash Gordon or something. I loved the live action Popeye movie as a kid. We had it on Betamax where I think my dad did the old trick of renting it once on VHS and copying it on a blank Betamax tape as I don't remember seeing commercials. I love all the little things in the town of Sweethaven like that guy chasing his hat who keeps kicking it away before he can grab it and the guy who keeps telling Popeye all the taxes he is gonna charge him. The music is weird but adds to the charm of the movie. Its annoying that Popeye hates spinach up until the climax but it really builds up that awesome moment when he finally eats it and punches the octopus. I just wish we had more of Popeye kicking ass but then I feel the same way about the old cartoons so it's appropriate. Popeye was a hero to me as a kid at the level of Hulk Hogan and Superman because I loved seeing them just beat the bad guy at the end. Popeye vs Sinbad is probably the best Popeye cartoon I have seen. Sinbad is my favorite version of Bluto and the stakes in this cartoon feel a lot higher than typical Popeye cartoons which are mostly gag cartoons. The animation looks amazing in color and to be honest sometimes I think I find the Fleischer style with the rotoscoping is a cool effect and makes the movement in their cartoons look smoother than Warner or Disney even though Disney and WB tend to look like they are drawn better. Another comic strip where a new character showed up and replaced the main character was Robotman/Monty, although I think Monty was meant to be more of a main character than Popeye. The bathroom break you added was funny. It reminds me of the Matt Cardona and Bryan Meyers podcast where whenever they talk about AEW action figures, Matt Cardona has to "take a bathroom break" ever since he was rehired by WWE, so I guess he is not allowed to talk about AEW. If you want to talk about TV themes to fall asleep to, I used to have a small black and white tv in my bedroom at my parent's house that I would put on at night when I went to sleep, and I remember watching a lot of Taxi which had a great theme to fall asleep to. I think Johnny meant boring songs and this is not boring but Taxi sounded like a great jazzy lullaby to me. Other greats TV themes to fall asleep to were MASH, Hill Street Blues, and the original Law & Order. Overall a really great episode.

I have only seen very little Puroresu, which is a big reason I didn't submit a ballot in a poll like this, but I didn't realize Onita, or "The Great Nita" was better than The Great Muta. Although I'm guessing his placement is not due to his matches under the "Great Nita" gimmick.

If anybody is new here to view the GWE results, or is old poster returning to see how the poll went this decade, I highly recommend taking a few minutes out of your day to check out this awesome work from Johnny and Kelly. This was another great episode, guys. I had no idea that subscription comics used to arrive in the mail folded. I'm guessing my local comic shops probably don't buy them in that condition since I don't recall seeing comics with huge creases in the middle. I am pretty sure I must have seen that 60s Fantastic Four cartoon on tv at some point because the song sounds so familiar.. I thought I had rented it but cant find any 80s VHS tapes of it online so it must not have been available on VHS. I also remember the Herbie the robot version of Fantastic Four on VHS and thinking as a young child that there must be some episode I missed where something happened to Human Torch like he was kidnapped or lost his powers or something. The Spider-Woman cartoon I believe also had a VHS tape that we rented. If you do Rocket Robin Hood you should make Johnny watch that episode that had the script and some of the animation reused in the 60s Spider-Man cartoon.

To be fair, maybe if more voters had taken time to understand and use the BIGLAV system of ranking wrestlers, perhaps 2016 could have gone a lot smoother...

I don't know about Kofi but Xavier Woods is awesome and I would love to see him in AEW, as a single, or tagging with Kofi, or whoever. I think he would be a fun fit.

I'm OK if we have no more dumb supernatural powers. Maybe the unnamed TKO exec just isn't a fan of people disappearing when the lights go off. Maybe now we can go back to cult leader characters who just psychology and brainwashing to control their followers instead of magic. I loved the Wyatt family before they started using magic powers.
