Teh New Rita… Not Bad…

Swiped from some Tumblr somewhere, but no doubt swiped from some official source somewhere else. Here’s your new Rita Repulsa (as played by Elizabeth Banks) from the upcoming Power Rangers reboot movie thing that’s due next year.

On the one hand, I’m sort of glad they’re not sticking with trying to recreate the old look of the character, which would’ve been a bit goofy for something that’s supposed to be a little more mature and a little more expensive (for lack of a better term) than the original show. And in all honesty, she ain’t that bad looking; more alien-ish than just a Japanese woman in a hokey outfit and I particularly like the color choice here… I’m guessing she’ll be the Green Ranger in this flick?

(Seriously, though, that wouldn’t be a bad idea and it’s something that was teased in past fanfiction brainstorms years ago, but that’s another story.)

On the other hand, if they’re being this drastic in redesigning Rita, it does make me wonder how much of an overhaul the Rangers are going to get. But hey, so far, I’m liking what I see.

Every HHH Wrestlemania Main Event Sucked

Say what you will about Triple H, but the guy is a major player in WWE. Multi-time World Champion, main eventer, sometimes charismatic guy, head of NXT and various development projects, and one of the smartest, hardest working dudes in the business. That having been said, when it comes to being the main event of Wrestlemania… this is where the multi-time WWE World Champion falls a bit short and since we’ve had another in a series of them, I’d figure this would be the best time to talk about every main event HHH has partaken in at the Showcase Of The Immortals and why they suck.

For the purposes of this write-up, the main event of Wrestlemania refers to the closing match on the card. I’m not counting so-called “main events” that take place during the middle of the card or anything of the sort. For all intents and purposes, the main event of Wrestlemania is the last match on the show.

Also, for the purposes of this write, this is NOT a history of HHH’s Wrestlemania matches; only his main events, so no mention of the farce that is his World title defense against Booker T at Mania 19 with the racist storyline. To be completely fair to Hunter, he’s had some good Mania matches when not scratching that last match – his match with Undertaker at Wrestlemania X-Seven and the one with Daniel Bryan Danielson at Mania 30 are top-notch wrestling matches worth of the Show Of Shows.
