Don't forget, Hulk Hogan's heel turn was completely out of the blue. Plus, the lines are so blurred nowadays, who can keep track of who's a heel and who's not?

I recall mine quite well and I recall that the Europeans did not import black slaves so much, maybe by the thousands or the tens of thousands but not anywhere the level they did to the Americas. They were mainly viewed as better field workers than native Americans and so brought over to work in our plantations.

Exactly what I was thinking of.

They should go completely off the wall with it. Have Daniel Bryan out because Bray Wyatt snuck into his house, murdered his dog and beat him half to death with a baseball bat. I mean that's just one suggestion, I'm just saying they could do better.

I find superheroes more boring than a well-done badass. The illusion of danger is always a bit more believable with a standard ass-kicker.

I don't mean this facetiously, but how many black people live in England? If anything I find the lack of Muslim characters to be a bigger omission.

Sadly no, time is gradually, if imperceptibly destroying those.

Why does everyone care what the PT Cruiser looks like? It has great storage capacity!

I actually really liked how it was a Superhero show that didn't dwell on the "super" aspect of it's character. It was more like a really badass guy than a "superhero".

I think the horns should be sharper and more pronounced, almost like Hellboy's horns, though obviously not as long. Just having two little bumps makes his head look lumpy, not like he has devil horns.

I think it was terribly introduced as well. With the voice-over about how he needs to up his game, then he's standing on top of the building like we're all supposed to be in awe.

Could it be that the source material for this piece, media reporting in the 60's, didn't cover the predilections of the country's gay community? That would be preposterous of course, why would they not do that?

Luc Besson made Morgan Freeman's voice personally vomit-inducing. That was a feat. "We only use 10% of the human brain." No we don't! FUCK YOU FREEMAN!

Here's how you don't suck at shooters: go to college, sit in a dorm room, smoke pot, never go to class, play Call of Duty or Battlefield for a year of your life. Boom, you will now be excellent at shooters. It worked for me, it can work for you too!

All serious actors in England until very recently were basically expected to speak in the "Queen's English", which is essentially posh Londoner. Speaking anything but was considered very low-brow.

But Doctor Who is an immortal shape-shifter. Frankly at this point it kind of hurts the entire concept if he keeps coming back as a London-native British man. You figure the other Time Lords are like, dude, what's the deal?

Yeah works for me.

HAH! Oh no! Why did you just do that to me?

Wrestling, for as decent as it is on TV, was meant to be watched live and drunk. When everything is a little hazy and you can't see the punches miss ever so slightly and everyone is cheering and booing, it all becomes real, and is fucking awesome.

I come from a family of professors, and they don't get it. The way I explained it is that the WWE is the last vestige of working-class theater. It's the pit of the Globe, with commoners hurling insults at the actors they hate and wildly cheering those they like. It's an interactive, vaudevillian bit of theater.
