VIDEO – RAW Zyu2 Footage From Jeff Pruitt

Former Power Rangers stunt co-ordinator Jeff Pruitt had posted this gem about a month ago; raw footage of the “Zyu2” footage that was shot for Power Rangers and edited to hell to incorporate the Dairanger mecha in the second season. None of that is here; so now you have the original Megazord and Dragonzord fighting the various monsters of Season 2, including a couple zord fights omitted from the show altogether as well as alternate takes of certain scenes that were replaced entirely by US-shot footage. There’s not much to it, but it’s a nice little piece into the inner workings of Power Rangers and something for those who often wondered what some of those zord battles might have been like without hack-style editing that permeated the second season.

Somewhere in the morphin grid, John Green is shedding a tear.

DVD Review – The Self-Destruction Of The Ultimate Warrior (2005 DVD Review)

The Ultimate Warrior is a bit of an interesting character. Inside the squared circle, he was one of the most colorful and dynamic wrestlers you’d find in the WWF atmosphere. Regardless of what you thought of him as a wrestler, a promo guy, or character, you can’t deny.

However, outside the squared circle, Warrior was a bit of an asshole who seemed to have a hatred for anything or anyone who didn’t worship the ground he walked on. He had controversial opinions that drew the ire of colleges and colleagues, burn bridges on a whim, and had an absolute disdain for Vince McMahon and his circle of stooges to the point where both were involved in lawsuits up the wazoo.

So for WWE to induct the Ultimate Warrior into the Hall of Fame is as much of a surprise to me as anyone, especially to those who knew of the rather turbulent relationship between the two sides over the years. All of a sudden, both sides are happily

Therefore, to celebrate the occasion, we’ll be taking a look at The Self-Destruction Of The Ultimate Warrior, a DVD release from 2005-ish where everyone shits on Warrior, back when it was cool to shit on Warrior because he was such a cunt.

Oy. I Knew I Heard That Idea Somewhere.

I came across this post while looking through the archives. For those who are lazy, let me repost the blurb that I wrote back in May 2012.

Someone commented somewhere that he hoped that Hogan would go back to WWE because WWE is boring… yes, because a broken-down 60-year-old man is the answer to WWE’s woes. Miraculously, I resisted the urge to call him a fucking idiot right then and there.

Less than two years later, Hulk Hogan has returned to host Wrestlemania XXX… and presumably, that’s all he’ll be doing. It’s not like WWE would be stupid enough to have him win the title in a 2-minute squash once Bore-Tista wins it.

By the way, if that happens, I want my royalty checks.

CM Punk Took A Leak

According to various wrestling news sources, CM Punk was reportedly spotted walking into the bathroom where he apparently releaved his bodily wastes. No further comment was made in this regard, but one anonymous tipster was heard to have said, “You fucking sites have nothing better to report on these days, don’t ya?”

Further details to follow…

By the way, while digging through the blog archives, I came across this archived transcript of CM Punk’s rant regarding a (storyline) walkout back in 2011. You read that and then you look back at what happened back in January… hmm. Make of that what you will.

Cop Guns Down Kid Armed With Wii Remote

http://thelibertarianrepublic.com/child-gunned-cop-answering-door-holding-wii-controler/#axzz2tnRuNzCN

For those who don’t want to read the whole thing, basically a female cop was a little trigger-happy and shot a seventeen-year-old kid who was armed with a Wii Remote. She apparently thought that the kid was armed with a gun, despite the fact that a Wii Remote looks nothing like a gun. There is no possible way a SANE and MENTALLY FUNCTIONAL human being could confuse the two.

And people wonder why I have no faith in law enforcement.

BOOK REVIEW – WWE’s Big Apple Takedown (2006)

The cover of this book depicts former WWE Diva Torrie Wilson wielding a gun while wearing a suggestive outfit with an awkward smile on her face, much like a lot of these promo pics where superstars and divas are told to smile in the most unnatural, unrealistic way possible. You look at this cover and you’re wondering why anyone would want to read this in public?
