  1. Random Randomness

    1 Comment

    Well since this will be the final Random Randomness of 2011, I figured I’d end it off with a stunner er I mean bang.  This week I’m gonna do something I’ve always wanted to do and take a look at some of Stone Cold Steve Austin’s movie and tell you whether you should watch them or not.  Now, I’m only gonna focus one the ones that he was the major star in, so I don’t want to hear any complaining that I left out “The Expendables” or any other movie that he was a co star in.  Since there is one or two out there I haven’t seen yet, I won’t be talking about those either. So without further ado, lets get this show on the road:

    1.  The Condemned (2007)-  His “first” starring role, he plays a convict who is forced to fight other convicts to death as part of an illegal game broadcast to the public.  We all mostly know this one since it’s a WWE Films product that was crammed down out throats until it tanked at the box office.  And hey I don’t blame it I payed to see it in the theater and was throughly disappointed with it.  It kept having that feeling that it was missing something.  Well my opinion is that if you haven’t seen it, don’t waste your time, it’s not even on netflix and I don’t recommend paying money for it.

    2.  Damage (2009)- He plays a prisoner just released from prison who ends up working in the illegal underground fighting world fighting MMA style in order to help the daughter of the person he killed in self-defense.  This isn’t a WWE Films release and was straight to DVD.  I actually liked this movie and is probably the best of all that I’ve seen, so check it out if you can.  I found it in the $5 DVD section at Walmart.

    3.  Knockout (2011)- He plays a janitor (who was a former boxer) in a high school who stands up for a new kid who gets bullied but the “popular kid who is the school star athlete” type.  The kid tries out for the boxing team which ironically the bully is also on, is unsuccessful, Austin trains him on his own, he challenges the bully to a match where if he wins he’s on the team, bully wins but shows respect to the kid, they shake hands, kid makes team anyway, we all live happily ever after the end.  Yeah this movie was pretty predictable, I almost shut it off several times.  This isn’t a WWE Films release, but it should since it fits their anti bullying campaign.  I don’t recommend this movie hence why I told you the whole plot.  But if you must netflix it.

    4.  Hunt To Kill (2010)-  Here Austin plays a Border Patrol Officer who gets kidnapped, along with his daughter, by a bunch of thieves and is made to go after another thief who betrayed them and is in the woods.  Yeah I know the plot sounds kinda confusing, but trust me it isn’t.  This one was really good in my opinion and probably the most action packed of all the films on here so I suggest you check this one out.  It is available on DVD and netflix you can find it in both places.

    5.  The Stranger (2010)-  In this film, Austin plays a man who has lost his memory.  He spends the whole film trying to remember who he is and how he got to where he was.  What is it?  Well you just have to watch it to find out.  Not a bad film in my opinion and worth a viewing or two if you can find it.  I found it in the $7.50 section but if you wait a few weeks it’ll probably be in the $5 section soon enough.

    Well I guess 3 good ones out of 5 isn’t bad .  Well that’s all I’ve got for this week, thanks for reading and see you all next time.  Have a safe and Happy holiday season.

     

  2. ECW on SyFy results 10/6/09

    1 Comment

    Last week, interim General Manager William Regal was pinned in a tag team match by Yoshi Tatsu.

    Speaking of Regal, he’s the first one out to start the show tonight, along with Vladimir Kozlov and Ezekiel Jackson.  He sends his best wishes to Tiffany as she recovers from her injury.  Last week, Regal was told not to make any decisions regarding the ECW Championship.  However, in the face of adversity, sometimes you have to bend the rules, and therefore, William Regal is the new number one contender.  Zack Ryder disagrees, bro.  Regal and Ryder argue, until Christian comes out and has news for them – neither one of them deserve it.  Need proof?  A janitor, Tony Atlas, and Yoshi Tatsu come out to the stage.  The janitor replaced all the urinal cakes in the bathrooms in section 105 today, which means he accomplished something, which is more he can say for Regal or Ryder, which makes him more deserving of an ECW title shot than either of them.  Tony Atlas may hang out with Abraham Washington, but he’s a hall of famer, and he does the laugh, which is a great accomplishment, and better than anything Regal or Ryder’s done.  Yoshi Tatsu has won some matches, including matches over Regal and Ryder.  Regal protests, and Christian tells him to be quiet and calls him Bill.  Christian says that Tatsu should be the number one contender.  It’s not up to Bill who the number one contender is, because Christian happened to run into somebody in the hallway…

    I know I want that girl so bad…

    Tiffany is here, arm in a sling and she’s ready to be General Manager again.  She has not yet decided who the number one contender is, but all of them can make their case tonight in singles competition.  Ryder will face Christian, Regal will face Tatsu, and Jackson and Kozlov will be in tag team action, next!

    <COMMERCIAL BREAK>

    So, just who are Kozlov and Jackson’s opponents?  Well, the generic Alice In Chains knockoff of a theme song indicates Tommy Dreamer, and the fact that my picture just went into letterbox format despite the fact this show is already airing in widescreen seems to indicate Goldust.

    Vladimir Kozlov & Ezekiel Jackson vs. Tommy Dreamer & Goldust

    I haven’t really paid a lot of attention to ECW lately, and that includes last week when I watched the show, and Goldust seems to be in much better shape right now than he was the last time I actually watched one of his matches.  In the end, Dreamer takes his eyes off of Jackson to focus on Kozlov for a split second and falls victim to the Uranage, allowing Jackson to get the pinfall.

    Backstage, Regal is sucking up to Tiffany, who seems to think that John Cena would actually come to ECW instead of SmackDown if he were to lose at Bragging Rights.  She tells Regal to get ready, because his match is next.

    <COMMERCIAL BREAK>

    RAW Rebound: Complete with SportCenter highlights.

    Yoshi Tatsu and his DDR music make their way to the ring.  William Regal is not in a good mood when he makes his entrance, and seems like he just wants to dispose of Tatsu and get this over with.  By the way, the new ECW ring announcer SUCKS!

    William Regal vs. Yoshi Tatsu

    Because Regal doesn’t believe in runsheets, he wasn’t ready for his match and he has to take up two minutes of our time to lace up his boots.  Yes, advertisers, you’re sponsoring a show where we get to watch one of the top stars tying his shoes.  In fact, he actually knocks Tatsu down and goes back to trying to tie his boots.  It didn’t matter anyway, Tatsu ultimately picked up the win with a roundhouse kick to the face.

    After the match, Matt Striker mentions on commentary that Regal’s foot appeared to be outside of the rope.  Kozlov and Jackson came down to argue with the referee on Regal’s behalf.  Josh Matthews reminds us there’s no instant replay, and that the referee’s decision is final.

    Last week, Shelton Benjamin was attacked before the match and still managed to get a clean victory over Paul Burchill.  Benjamin will face his attacker, Sheamus, this Thursday on Superstars – Enjoy that one, tharvey1!

    Oh radio, tell me everything you know

    Zack Ryder makes his way to the ring while Regal continues to protest his loss.

    <COMMERCIAL BREAK>

    William Regal is still ringside as the ECW Champion, Christian comes out to face Zack Ryder, who made his entrance before the break.

    Christian def. Zack Ryder via disqualification

    Hey, here’s a question.  What the hell ever happened to Curt Hawkins?  Anyways, the action spilled to the outside, and the match ended when Regal, Kozlov, and Jackson attacked Christian, giving him the disqualification win.

    After the match, Ryder questioned why Regal and his associates would attack Christian – and he gets dropped by the trio for his troubles as well.

    That’s it for me tonight, time to go watch Homer Simpson by a Canyonero.  Goodnight from the land of Extreme everybody!
