Greetings, Superfriends. Today we have a daily double. The first is from Jeff Bailey:
“Looking back on Dusty Rhodes’ stint as booker, does the knowledge that
Ric Flair is such a gigantic cock alter your perspective on it?”
Well, not really. I’ve never really heard a bad-word about Flair during that era. It was only when he started to look like a piece of beef jerky with bleached strands of hair coming out of the top that he became a prick. I’ve often wondered what would happen if Triple H from 2003 and Dusty Rhodes from 1988 were in the same company. It would have to implode. Like in Time Cop when two beings take up the same space.
Second question comes from QOTD Hall of Famer, Mr. Gavin Lee.
"Not a wrestling question today but with the impending release of Star Wars ep7 What do you want to see or what storyline should they follow? There's rumours
there bringing back the original cast Luke han leia etc I'm unsure if I could
belive a 70yr old (!) mark hamill pulling Jedi shit any more hopefully JJ won't
make a Star Trek clone."
It's no longer rumors, as I believe most of the original cast is returning. I have
no problem believing in older Jedis being able to bring the goods. Look at
The Emperor. He looks older than dirt and he's the biggest bad ass of them all. Yoda
is ancient, about 2 feet tall and he's feared completely. The Jedi only get stronger as they
get older. I always thought they'd just film the Heir To The Empire books, which I read a few
years ago and are great. I'm all about bringing The Emperor back, as he's my favorite
character. There's so much material to work with it's ridiculous. Not only are there
100's of books, but 1000's of comics. There is honestly to excuse for fucking
this film up. There are tried & true stories that are great, and that fans want
to see.
I apologize for the font, blogger is a piece of crap and believes letting you
choose your format is something of an antiquated notion.
