@BuckStarkAuthor Warrior/Savage at WM 7 is a banger too. So is Bret/Owen from WM 10 if you want more old school WM classics

@MarvelAAge I have to admit, I have not seen that one. I will check it out as soon as I can and report back.

The greatest WrestleMania match of all time was at 3, and it involved Randy Savage and Ricky “the Dragon” Steamboat. Second place is the ladder match at X. This could be in third place, but no higher.

@AIRGold_ I mean, he’s not wrong. The PLE might as well be called Product Placement Events for the amount of ads they have over matches. 5 matches on a 3 hour card where so little ever happens is diabolical

Maven watched an entire episode of WWE RAW and his biggest criticism was: “They run too many commercials and have too few matches.”

@Apollokid3000 This is one of 2 original Spider-Man comics my brother doesn’t own. Him walking into somehere that has this for sale is probably his ultimate dream

Loook what my friend found today!!!!!

@SkytelWrestling He rushed it. And he never understood WCWs worth. The big money he refused to pay out would’ve made him much more if he’d had shelled out for Goldberg/ Sting and used DDP and Booker as true main event guys. Then he could’ve gradually brought him nWo etc when their deals expired

The myth of Vince McMahon being a "genius" was destroyed in real time, when we saw how badly botched the biggest can't miss big money angle ever between March through November 2001. The biggest blown opportunity in professional wrestling history. Easily.

@AreVeeAye @SkytelWrestling He paid their talent more to come work for him and did whatever he could to sabotage their business. Ruthless? Yes. Genius? No. He simply had more money than them.

@SkytelWrestling Vince was a genius at running other companies out of business. But people never realized his “creative genius” only showed up when societal obsessions aligned with his own. In the 80’s it was beefy action hero’s and in the latest 90’s it was gross out humor and car crash tv.

@shamartTM I’ve always felt he looked like Ryan Phillipe And he looks nothing like the shows model for Peter who will only be a few years older at that point

I'm still fixated on this one scene in the Spider-Man Unlimited Intro where Peter looks like a lightskin black kid

@VashKohime Most actors would give their left nut for this CV.

as someone who was the perfect age to consider him my generation's Great Movie Star his post-DARK KNIGHT RISES run of projects has been nothing short of calamitous. I can only assume working with David O Russell gave him the acting equivalent of CTE and he's just never recovered.

@KyleEll17963613 @allan_cheapshot Because he was infatuated with Shawn, for whatever reason

@allan_cheapshot This is one of the reasons she scratch my head and wonder why Vince pushed Bret out of WWE and Bret still had so much left.

#OnThisDay in 1997: Bret Hart vs Steve Austin at WrestleMania 13 happened at the Rosemont Horizon in a no disqualification submission match, with Ken Shamrock as special guest referee. It is still the clearest example of WWF turning a match into a character shift. *****+ match.

@GrappleClips This is it, the best match of all time

29 years ago today… Submission Match Bret Hart vs Steve Austin Special Referee: Ken Shamrock WWF Wrestlemania 13 March 23, 1997

@KungFu_Grip @OTD_in_WWE 18 months prior to that, their heavily pushed heel was Bob Backlund who was older than Hogan and Savage. In the NEW GENERATION. Don’t forget Jake returned only 2 months earlier

they were running this vintages as their contemporaries Roddy Piper and Ultimate Warrior were returning to the WWF for Wrestlemania angles

@Gavin2Hell Not to admit that I am mesmerised by the suit but I’ve watched this trailer 4 times and seen this GIF flood my feed and this is the first time I’ve noticed that Boomerang is in it 😅

Deadass if you took this exact same shot and replaced it with the Raimi suit we’d be seeing an army of 37 year old virgins posting it on here every hour of the day

@aakashgupta Look at the reaction to the suit reveal and the anticipation for this trailer. The longer wait has built up anticipation, not hampered it Providing it is not utterly terrible, this movie will make huge bank

Sony is betting its entire 2026 on a five-year gap and a memory wipe. No Way Home made $1.9 billion worldwide. $815 million domestic. The highest-grossing Spider-Man film ever, the highest-grossing Sony release in history, and the first film to cross $1 billion during COVID. That was December 2021. Tom Holland hasn’t worn the suit since. Five years between installments is a lifetime in franchise filmmaking. The Fast & Furious gap from Tokyo Drift to Fast Five was four years and the studio treated it as a full reboot. Marvel waited three years between Avengers films and spent $200 million on marketing each one. Sony just went five years with zero Holland Spider-Man content and dropped the trailer by handing two-second clips to fans on Instagram. The trailer rollout tells you everything about their confidence level. No Super Bowl spot. No exclusive theater preview. They let random fans in Lima, Peru and Columbus, Ohio release the first footage on personal social accounts, then had Holland standing on the Empire State Building at 7 AM to drop the full cut. You only do that when you know the product sells itself. The real signal is what the trailer sets up. Holland’s Peter is mutating. Organic webbing, DNA instability, Bruce Banner running tests. They’re doing a version of the Man-Spider arc from the comics, which means this isn’t just a standalone sequel. It’s a biological transformation story that feeds directly into Avengers: Doomsday in December. Sony needs this to clear $1.5 billion to justify the deal structure with Marvel Studios. Holland’s final contracted solo film means the negotiation for the next agreement starts the week after opening weekend. The box office number on Brand New Day determines whether Sony or Marvel has leverage in that conversation. $1.9 billion bought five years of patience. July 31 is when they find out if the patience was worth it.

@DaudReaboi You haven’t read the tweet correctly here fella. He was $200K in debt BEFORE Creed.

Keep in mind he had already the black panther and creed series and still found himself in $200k student loan debt

@PatientMental3 @eskays15 @Marvel You’ve seen the hype for the trailer before it was released. Easy money here

@MarvelAAge @eskays15 @Marvel Those days are over

A Brand New Day starts now. Watch the official trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day - exclusively in theatres July 31.

@mark_ippol51515 @Marvel They are not spoiling the film in the trailer. Terrific teaser

@Marvel No villians? No jean grey? No symbiote? No hulk? What is this a Spiderman movie or a hallmark series? The zendaya fatigue is real...

@eskays15 @Marvel This movie will easily make a billion you dope.

@Marvel Nobody watching this mid junk that has that woke anti semite libtard Mark Ruffalo in it. Hard pass.

@justaguy0507 This exists though

That WoS cover is ugly as shit. The MSM2 cover isn’t great but it’s better. I’ll actually give EoT credit here. This is probably the best Spider-Man video game cover.

@ovppodcast I thought this was utter bullshit at the time but to be fair to what was a really lousy WM, Backlash 2000 the following month is arguably the best WWF PPV ever

HHH retains his title because cahoots, becoming the first time Wrestlemania closed entirely with a heel winning

@FadeAwayMedia This absolutely should’ve been Bret vs Austin with Bret passing the torch. Even without his back injury, there was no heat for Austin/HBK, it was Tyson/Austin, DX was very much a third wheel

Stone Cold said after he won the Championship at Wrestlemania 14 from Shawn Michaels he didn’t think the match was good at all. “That was rough out there” Vince: “Don’t worry it will all change tomorrow” The rest was history. (TakeDown SI)
