Honk honk

 

[Valeyard]

I'd still bang MAGA Missy

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Maybe it’s Stockholm Syndrome from seeing her so much in my Twitter feed but she looks better than she did a few years ago.

 

[Valeyard]

Has she gone the onlyfans route? Because it feels incredibly natural at this point.

I just posted her link to an onlyfans type site this week. Not sure what thread. It doesn't promote anything straight up but the implication is there.

 

[Valeyard]

I appreciate such compiling. Were she not reprehensible I'd consider giving her no more than $3.

It has to be better than the WrestlingVixxens site with the infamous Sunny photo shoot with a cracked egg on her belly.

 

[Valeyard]

The blatant false advertising of the "new" Wrestlingvixxxens with Daffney, Lacey from ROH, and several others is one of my more bitter smark memories

Yeah dude, the fuck was up with that?

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Was it some sort of play on sunny side up eggs?

 

[BruiserBrody]

Was it some sort of play on sunny side up eggs?

I think it was "She's so hot you can fry eggs on her"

There's a Harry Bellefonte (or someone similar) song with the lyrics "You could fry eggs on the ce-men-tae!" or something like that.

Why did they give up so early on him being a heel, though?

Live event pitchman works best as neutral face to sell tickets.

He needed to be able to be generically excited.

 

[Valeyard]

Fuckin' Didinsky was right there

Bossman was still in a uppercard push w/ Nailz. I wonder what the booking was planned for this (assuming WWF had planned on a 90 min SNME block maybe?)

 

[Valeyard]

Bossman/Yokozuna could've been pretty fun.

1995 WWF Wrestling Trading Cards... - Top rope to heaven

1995 WWF Wrestling Trading Cards (Merlin) Nikolai Volkoff (No.18)

www.facebook.com

 

[Valeyard]

I didn't have that one but I had a bunch. Magazine used to print them all the time and I loved the stories on the back. Warrior's return ruined it all because it was a page of cards on one side and a giant picture of shitty 1996 Warrior on the back. Fuck am I gonna do with a contextless card of a Slaughter match or a picture of shitty ballcap era Warrior?

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

How did Roddy Piper not show up in the RoboCop universe until the TV series?

The RoboCop TV series was about as anticipated in 1994 as Piper Vs Jerry Lawler.

 

[Valeyard]

Worse ideas existed but the problem was it needed to be on HBO and like the first movie instead of syndication and a watered down third movie. Still more exciting than Highlander.

Robocop backing Piper against Lawler saves that match, too. Those guys in that company make that shit work in the dumbest, least insulting, hilarious way it can.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I never knew I wanted to see Jerry Lawler sell being terrified of RoboCop until now.

RoboCop: The Series was originally supposed to be RoboCop 4. I don’t get the mindset behind “Well, the last movie bombed so let’s make it even more watered down with an even lower budget.”

 

[Valeyard]

Combination of longer to tell a story and potentially money to be made with advertisers. Other properties were doing it to varying results too. It's a really dumb move for something like Robocop, though. Highlander only just worked and even then it was dogshit. You can't do sanitized Robocop with a low budget. But that show was my first exposure to Robocop since I wasn't allowed to watch the movies and I have a weird soft spot.

It's funny to think about how, if the New Generation WWF had Robocop or something do an appearance, it would just be one of those things of the time that was stupid but harmless. At worst it's up there with Shatner or Leslie Nielsen or Chuck Norris.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Part of me really misses mediocre to poor, low budget TV series adaptations of hit action movies. Could The CW really not give us a TV series version of “John Wick” with John Stamos in the titular role.

Actually, now that I think of it there were semi recent TV series versions of “Taken” and “Shooter”. Although I don’t even really remember the latter being that much of a hit.

 

[Valeyard]

Superboy was the pinnacle for me. It and the Bill and Ted sitcom live rent free and I can't tell you exactly why

 

[BruiserBrody]

"Uncle Buck" The sitcom. That theme rests in my head 30+ years later.

Being the money whore he was, I'm mildly surprised Candy didn't just take the role. He may have been powerful enough to make it a real hit.

Perhaps had he known his 90s work would mostly be bombs?

*Hums Camp Candy theme*

--
Candy was once asked why he made _______ as the script was the shits. He replied "Because they paid me 3 million dollars to shoot it".

 

[Valeyard]

Candy wasn't a whore. Guy had the Gene Wilder thing where he believed in almost everything, but he happened to believe in shit sometimes, and the stuff he didn't he tried hard in anyway. Read a Christopher Lee quote that was something like "every actor makes bad films, but good actors are never the reason they're bad." It's that kinda shit.

John Candy should've been at Wrestlemania 2.

 

[strummer]

Candy starred in the third Cannonball Run film that I don't even think got a theatrical release. Hopefully he did it as a favor to someone. Can't imsgine it being a high paying gig

 

[Hawk 34]

He also worked gratis on other films as well including some movie about a kid abandoned by his family at Christmas

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

John Candy should've been at Wrestlemania 2.

Oh man. “Celebrities that should’ve been at WrestleMania 2” would be a great thread that only me, you and @BruiserBrody would post in.
