El-P Posted March 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 5 minutes ago, NintendoLogic said: I'm surprised El-P doesn't know about Three Men and a Baby given that it was a remake of Trois hommes et un couffin. That's pretty much the reason why I would have never seen it actually. Hollywood remakes of French movies are just a no-no. Except for True Lies, which is pretty funny as a remake (especially the ridiculousness of it compared to the original). BTW, was Magnum TA named after Selleck's moustache ?

peachchaos Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Yes, TA was named after Selleck's character from the hit 80's American TV series Magnum, P.I. Another show consistently in the highest rated shows of it's initial airing. The mustache thing wasn't a meme until the 90's when he did the run on Friends. Mel Gibson, Kurt Russell, Chuck Norris, Van Damme, Dolph Lungren all had some rugged wrestler looks as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted March 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Well, in France "Magnum PI" was just called "Magnum", for obvious reasons, so I never made the connection with the name before ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 That's also why Scott Hall was "Magnum" Scott Hall for a minute in the AWA. All the stache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 I was reminded of this thread while watching R&Rs/Andersons from Starrcade 1986 and listening to a possibly drunk Johnny Weaver on commentary. Weaver was apparently quite the ladies' man who constantly had women throwing themselves at him when he was the top babyface in the Carolinas. This is the most flattering picture I could find of him: You want to talk about the wrestling curve, that's it right there. No wonder girls went crazy for Flair and Steamboat if this is what they were working with previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 On 3/1/2019 at 2:09 PM, El-P said: I have not seen one movie starring Tom Selleck. I couldn't give you one title of a movie with Tom Selleck. To me he's a guy from cheesy 80's US TV shows and the older guy fucking Monica in Friends. That's about it. I recon the stache is iconic though. In & Out was great, but it probably shouldn't be your first Selleck, simply because this role plays with the expectations everyone had of him at the time and turns them on its ear.

FMKK Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Reviving this thread to ask whether this year's G1 has the most objectively hot wrestlers of any grouping in history. I can think of 3-6 people in there I would consider attractive and 30% is not a bad ratio at all for pro wrestling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
