The SmarK DVD Rant – Action Comics

The SmarK DVD Rant - Action Comics!

- OK, this one is probably a bit of a stretch, but bear with me.

My eternal quest to string together somewhat-related DVD reviews brings us this time around to a pair of comedic-slanted action movies, one of which is much better than the other. I'll leave it to the reader to guess which one I liked more. See if you can figure it out by the end of the review!

Anyone wanna write for Pulse Wrestling?

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Hi everyone,
FYI, we have an opening for a weekly wrestling columnist at Pulse Wrestling, preferably someone who can post every Wed, Thu or Fri.  If you're interested or know someone who might be, please email me. (This doesn't have to be a long, 22-page work of art either. Can be anything from "Wrestling, News, Opinions"-esque to embedding wrestling videos and doing commentary around them.)
Thanks!

 

No problem.

Archive Update

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

Just a heads up that I updated the archive again, adding in the last batch of 24/7 rants and a bunch of stuff that had been saved on the laptop instead of my main computer in the office and thus hadn’t been available before. 

So as usual, here’s the link:  http://www.rspwfaq.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/full-archive.zip

Pulse Plug

Monday, April 20th, 2009

So frequent contributor Charlie Reneke has decided to branch out on his own as a reviewer for Insidepulse, and good for him. 

http://wrestling.insidepulse.com/2009/04/20/dvd-reviews-the-greatest-stars-of-the-90s/

My own review of the DVD will be forthcoming once it arrives from Highspots this week.

Archive Update

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

Nothing terribly exciting, but given the amount of content I pump out on a weekly basis I thought it best to update the Rant Archives for those who have already bought it or those who would still like to purchase it.  Basically I added all the 24/7, PPV and DVD reviews that I've done since the original offering in August, plus all the PDF versions of the WWE PPVs.  So the file is about 20MB now instead of 13MB. 

Those who have already bought it, feel free to download the new file and use the same password.  Those who would like to purchase it, send $20 US via Paypal to skeith@gmail.com and I'll send you the password.  Easy as that.

http://www.rspwfaq.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/full-archive.zip

And here's what you get:

  • The complete WWE/F archive in Word format, including all the RAW, Smackdown and DVD reviews. UPDATED!
  • The complete WCW archive in Word or TXT format (depending on the original file),including PPV, Thunder and Clash of Champions archives, plus the lost WCW book proposal from 2000.
  • The complete ECW archive in Word or TXT format
  • The complete TNA archive (such as it is)
  • The complete ROH archive (again, such as it is)
  • All of my 24/7 rants to date UPDATED!
  • The complete AWA archive (not much, but still it's all there)
  • All of my DVD reviews for 411/InsidePulse (or at least as many as I still have on the hard drive) UPDATED!
  • For the first time, the "WCWF" parodies I wrote in 1995, featuring a crew of major league rejects operating out of an abandoned grocery store.  Quality varies wildly, but I was mostly going for the jokes and not the life lessons or anything. 
  • All of my attempts at fiction, like the World Hero Federation and How I Spent My Armageddon.
  • All of the articles for Fighting Spirit Magazine in their original, unedited form.
  • All of my Netcop Rants, including King Lear, Lazarus, For The Want of a Nail and other various news updates I did for sites like Emzee.
  • All of my lame TV rants for shows like Prison Break and Rock Star and Ultimate Fighter.
  • Finally, a big directory of Other Stuff with assorted one-off wrestling PPVs like Heroes of Wrestling, XPW tapes, I-Generation, Women of Wrestling, Girls Gone Wild. Oh, and the complete unedited manuscript for The Buzz on Pro Wrestling, which is so long out of print that I doubt anyone would care if I sold it here.

One word of warning: The newer stuff (pretty much anything from 2007 onwards) is written in Word 2007 format, which shows up as a .docx file and can't be read without either Word 2007 or a standalone reader from Microsoft.

LIGHTNING ROUND~!

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

Oh man, I MAJORED in lightning rounds!

Here are some questions for the blog. No need for long answers, just a series of random rapid fire questions.
Here we go!
1/ What's the best Sting match (non-Flair, non-Vader)
2/ Lane/Eaton or Condrey/Eaton?
3/ What is the longest wrestling feud of all-time? I'm thinking Sting-Flair sicne it started in 88 and went all the way till the end of Nitro in 01. Any other REALLY long ones?
4/ What's the oldest ***** match you've seen? Flair/Race at Starrcade 83 is the oldest I found  in the archives, but you never know.
5/ InsidePulse just listed their top 100 OVERALL modern era wrestlers. The top 10 were: Flair, Austin, Hogan, HBK, Benoit, Bret, Rock, Steamboat, Angle & Funk. Anyone not belong? Who would belong in their place?
6/ Of all you books, which is YOUR personal favorite to read?
7/ Better worker Bret or Owen?
8/ Is Citizen Kane really the best movie ever made?
9/ Hotest female ever in wrestling?
10/ have you seen any of the flair/steamboat matches from the 70s bother guys say are as good as the 89 matches?

 

1.  Sting/Luger v. The Steiners.

2.  As much as I've grown to appreciate Condrey watching week after week of him on the NWA show, Lane and Eaton took tag team wrestling to a whole other level.

3.  Dusty v. Flair ran from the late 70s until almost 1990, so that's another contender. 

4.  Complete footage of pre-1980 matches is very tough to find, but I actually would give Terry Funk v. Jerry Lawler in the empty arena match *****, and that's from 1981, so there's your answer.

5.  I would probably bump Kurt Angle and replace him with Undertaker, but the rest is good. 

6.  That's like making me choose between my children, man.

7.  At his peak, Bret.  On a more consistent basis, Owen.

8.  I'm more partial to Casablanca, but Citizen Kane is certainly the most influential and the one that gave us the most parodies on The Simpsons.

9.  Trish Stratus in 2004 or Lita in 2005. 

10.  No, the footage is incredibly tough to find.  Earliest I've seen from them is 1980ish.
