Hehehahahaha. Hahahahaha. Something the matter CorSchroeda? Came expecting to fight a mad man, but instead found, A GOD?! And you...YOU. I see you. I know who you are. You, are Mat Elfring. REBORN! Well my friend, just as things are born, they also must die. At the next podcast, it will be you against me, and I will *swish swish swish dink dink dink...CLEAN YOU UP! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Hit my music! Hit my music!
I would send you guys some questions but despite the fact that I listen to all the podcasts on this site I've fully accepted that I'm cursed when it comes to my questions getting through. Still no interest in WWE regardless of how many people are creaming their pants over Payback. My problem with that promotion was never with the wrestling, it's always been the writing, booking, and finishes that make me completely uninterested. If I took a shot for the number of times I've heard the word 'phenomenal' on wrestling podcasts this week I would be dead. Speaking of podcasts I've been listening to On This Very Screen and for some reason hearing Corey swear openly makes me so happy.
I'm pretty skeptical that you guys can make an all women's wrestling episode work. Either I'm underestimating you or you're overestimating your knowledge on the topic. I'm pretty sure neither of you are watching Shimmer or Stardom or even SMASH. You know, places that have been reportedly killing it in that genre of matches. And I'd be surprised if you talk about the Sexy Star vs Mariposa match that just blew the minds of all us Lucha Underground marks this week. So at most it will be you talking about how good the girls in NXT are, which any smark worth their salt is already aware of.
@inferiorego:Well the first time I ever heard about that was on this podcast over a year ago. If I recall you sounded pretty baffled by that knowledge drop back then so I don't know where your mind was at the time. Perhaps Corey inception-ed you or something.
You know, they say all men are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Mat Elfring, and you can see that statement is not true! See, normally if you go one-on-one with another wrestlin' fan, you got a 50-50 chance of winnin'. But I'm a genetic freak, and I'm not normal, so you got a 25% at best at beatin' me! And then you add Corey Schroeder to the mix? Your chances of winnin' drasticy go down.
Always a pleasure to listen to the Endless Promo or as I like to call it "The Insufferably Super Infrequent Wrestling Podcast of Giggling." Fastlane sounds bad. It's funny that you guys mention how bad the past year of WWE has been because I would say 2015 will go down as one of my all time favorite years in wrestling and part of that is me not watching that product if you don't count NXT. I did watch the Royal Rumble with my brother since he had the network but now I just read about it and shake my head. The real hotness in wrestling has been the past year of New Japan, Lucha Underground, and PWG. That is as much wrestling as I need to feel satisfied with that hobby and if I ever decide that I want to watch more, the LAST promotion I would go to is WWE. I'd rather start buying Hoodslam DVDs or subscribing to Chikara.
Mat indeed heard from a friend about the original Ryback gimmick, that friend's name is Corey because he told that to you on an older episode of this very podcast. Sorry I have a really good memory of trivial details for some reason. Thanks again for the podcast guys. I really enjoy hearing you guys complain about a product that you supposedly love enough to keep watching.
You know in the many years that I've been listening to these podcasts I've never once audibly groaned as I listened. That has changed in the past couple of weeks since you guys just can't seem to shut up about Star Wars. Admittedly I'm not a huge fan of that franchise but still the discussion has become borderline nauseating to me. Anyway here are my personal picks for last year.
My favorite comic book TV show would definitely be One-Punch Man. It's a fantastic deconstructionist satire of comic book culture in my opinion. If I absolutely HAD to choose a live action show I'd probably go with Jessica Jones. Great performances, awesome tension throughout, and some sharp cinematography. Me and Corey seem to have similar taste in stuff (except he seems way more into Star Wars than me) so I guess that makes me a ding dong. Also really loved Ash vs Evil Dead.
Favorite non comic book TV show was probably Lucha Underground just by virtue of being an actual GOOD wrestling show. Of course Tony would look back fondly on Lost if he only watched the first two seasons because those are literally the only two good seasons. 99% of the stuff that comes after is utter trash.
Favorite comic book movie was Ant-Man. I went in with zero expectations and was blown away by how good it was. Thanks as always for the podcasts guys.
I really love how they depict Deadites as having no inherent weaknesses. You just have to kill the ever living "s-" out of them until they stop moving. This show is so freaking awesome and silly.
Thanks for the podcast. Loving Ash vs Evil Dead so far. Evil Dead 2 is one of my all time favorite movies and it feels like it captures the mania of that movie rather well. I forgot how much I miss the super zombie aspect of deadites. You get sick of regular zombies after a while. I actually beat that Evil Dead: Regeneration game at a friend's house. It was okay, nothing great, decent adaptation of the mythos I guess.
The Flash in my opinion is one of the best live action super hero shows ever made (in America anyway). That's kind of sad to say because there are still parts of that show that I DO NOT LIKE. Those times when the CW-ness of the episode just oozes through the screen are sometimes unbearable. I hope Zoom shows up on the next season of Lucha Underground.
I'm more than half way through season 3 of Arrow but it took me MONTHS to get through those seasons. It has been a real slow burn and it's a shame because that series is precisely half great. About 50%, like 20 out of the 40 minutes of the episodes are freaking awesome and the action scenes are way better than most of the stuff in The Flash. Then about 10 minutes are okay, like nothing really happening but characters getting sort of established with some decent acting, then another 10 mins are that unbearable CW sludge that they have to squeeze in there to give it a broader appeal or whatever. Overall I like it a lot.
