It's a total wink to smarks. References the place of the famous Bomaye chants which links it back to Inoki which links it to NJPW and of course links to the origin of the move/name/Shinsuke. If a fan is invested to make those connections than its super rewarding when you figure it out.

I really miss Graves yelling Kinshasa as it really did add a lot to the moment Nakamura hits it. Phillips tries so hard but just can't quite sell out and capture the magic of it.

Unfortunately they will never go for finisher named "KILL HIM" but Kinshasa is a nice compromise that actually shows some clever thinking for a change.

Depends really. I'm from Missouri and have had some dealings within and around local politics and at some point it is all about who is gonna volunteer and what qualifies them for the position they run for. We have a State AG who was a D.C. Lawyer and clerked for a judge for a hot minute and then decided to run and if…

Titus is sorta a bad dude snake oil salesman who recruited a good dude in Crews and is trying to recruit another good dude in Tozwa.

There is a great myth that republicans don't want people to vote. They want THEIR people to vote. Republicans tend focus on a ground game that utilizes more functional and well organized state and local republican networks to door knock, hand out literature, and march in parades etc. It's 24/7 365 Machine of a local…

Because the media( and therefore both parties) overhyped its significance and poured so much money into it that it woke up the apathetic republicans in that district to come out and vote.

Not saying GITS or Lucy are great or even good movies but they are very different kinds of big budget projects that don't get made without a star like ScarJo having the financial freedom and star power afforded her by playing Black Widow for 6-18 weeks a year. It's a rare renewable power position for a female star…

I think it works out pretty swell for her. She is in at least one of those marvel movies a year, makes a ton of dough which pays the bills, and then gets to make 1 or 2 passion projects or different creative projects a year. There is no way things like the Ghost in the Shell adaptation or Under The Skin or Lucy get…

Yeah but then they book Billy Gunn in a title match with no build to main event a show. It's like nobody wants the American dollars.

I have always liked Corbin for what he is. He is a brute who does brutish things and brags about how legit his NFL pedigree and golden gloves make him. He is handpicked and lets everyone know about and mocks anyone who had to work and strive to get to the WWE knowing he got the red carpet( him trash talking Apollo…

I'm just imagining a Summerslam where Cena is so close to beating Mahal, restoring honor to the WWE championship and breaking the record but as Corbin cashes in and pins Mahal to steal the moment from Cena. That's the best case scenario right?

Yeah I will also add that there are is a variety of ideas on the grace and salvation of Jesus Christ in Baptist churches. There are still some Baptists who believe that grace can be lost through sin. From experience I can say Southern Baptists and First Baptists adhere to the once saved always saved interpretation…

As a baptist let me just chime in on the once saved always saved portion of your post. No baptist church will ever teach or preach that once you are saved you can act awfully and it be ok. If there is zero change in a person's life or he/she claimed to be saved in their youth but not truly understand the prayer they…

God lord will this shit never die. We had a political assaination attempt and President officially becoming the subject of an obstruction of justice investigation but all these knuckleheads are conceded about is some satirical update of a play that has zero bearing on anything. Will these progandists at least try…

I don't think I have ever done that in front of someone( I had the rushed experience of paranoid high school sexual trists and the infrequency of college hook ups before finally settling down) but in my youth I found in funny in an immature way. I think being ashamed of bodies is a silly prospect.

I honestly don't see what's so terrifying about it. The human body holds no horror for me unless it's been cut open.

Having seen two of her stand ups on Netflix, she really excels at expressing how hard it is to be the weird oddball girl in conservative Texas while now also being the weird oddball girl who comes from a conservative background who is now in a more liberal profession.

That law sure has successfully stop those crazy young people from shaking their asses all these years. Just think how society will fall into ruin if the law is repealed.

Psst. That's not strictly true, women in his other movies are usually awesome characters, and maybe we should not have a great director not follow his passions.
