Anything with Diamond Dallas Page sounds great, but I also realized this morning on my walk that we have our own wrestler in the Hall of Fame, Rowdy Roddy Piper, and other than Tough and Deadly a couple weeks ago, he's been pretty neglected lately. I should do a wreslting series though, maybe after the Hong Kong one coming up.Direct to Video Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310858965138247572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-82537247667892354862010-04-18T03:33:37.195-04:002010-04-18T03:33:37.195-04:00First off, Love your blog.

Keep up the good work.<br /><br />I kinda liked 12 Rounds in a mindless fun type of way. Wasn't as good as all the hype WWE gave it but good nonetheless. The character I liked the most was probably the guy from the Shield that was Cena's partner. If you want to do a movie with a wrestler in it, you should do Ready to Rumble with David Arquette and Diamond Dallas Page.Tim Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18432941745298984483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-73682647763032769142010-04-16T22:52:56.592-04:002010-04-16T22:52:56.592-04:00Yeah, you should definitely have a Hulk Hogan week...Yeah, you should definitely have a Hulk Hogan week or something like that.venomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06632381738581803935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-19138209197581049032010-04-16T16:39:45.879-04:002010-04-16T16:39:45.879-04:00Detroit has real hooligans, though, just like Bost...Detroit has real hooligans, though, just like Boston has some real ones too. I'm talking about wannabe hooligans, who grew up in the suburbs, and romanticize about "being hard" or this "tough Irish" or "tough Italian" ideal that the real people who really live that life in a place like downtown Detroit would laugh at them about. Again, it's just this whole "dude, you wanna go?" mentality. Jim Rome on his show yesterday referred to him as Likes to Fight Guy.<br /><br />I loved Thunder in Paradise. What's better than Knight Rider as a boat? And you know that's how they pitched it to TNT too. Hogan's best work, in my humble wrestling opinion, came when he was Hollywood Hulk Hogan. "Just too sweeeeeeeeet!" Maybe I should do a series of his films for the Wild Card posts...Direct to Video Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310858965138247572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-67828135821141351172010-04-16T15:59:55.709-04:002010-04-16T15:59:55.709-04:00Detroit has the most hooligans, I mean they aren&#...Detroit has the most hooligans, I mean they aren't even afraid of pummeling the crap out of athletes. (Pistons/Pacers) Also there was a male cheerleader in 93, In which The Lions won the division that year, anyway after a 10-6 loss to the Bears on Thanksgiving at home (Though we would beat them in Chicago 20-14) a bunch of drunk fans beat up the male cheerleader. <br /><br />Anyway Hulk Hogan is possibly the worst wrestler turned actor, I mean watch Thunder In Paradise a couple times.Kennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01664118447662130586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-49952058538977943222010-04-16T14:18:23.021-04:002010-04-16T14:18:23.021-04:00Yeah, not every guy around here is like that, but ...Yeah, not every guy around here is like that, but Cena is definitely making fun of that type as a wrestler, which works well as a joke, but when we're supposed to take him seriously, he's pretty much every tool at the local bars starting fights with people for no good reason. Not what I want in my action hero.<br /><br />I need to see The Condemmed. See no Evil be one to consider, but I wasn't really a big fan, and am not sure I want to revisit it anytime soon.Direct to Video Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310858965138247572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-46749975520335928942010-04-16T12:02:32.631-04:002010-04-16T12:02:32.631-04:00Well luckily for me I rarely have to deal with guy...Well luckily for me I rarely have to deal with guys like that in Illinois,(i'm also glad I don't have to deal with weekend long blackouts where I live, our blackouts only last a few hours, but those few hours just seem to dra on so much longer wihout electricity, If I had to go without power for a whole weekend, i'd probably go insane!) anyways I agree that it's a poor man's Die Hard 3, but it was still a decent enough watch overall. Also just curious, do you have any plans to review the WWE films See No Evil and The Condemned?venomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06632381738581803935noreply@blogger.com
