where's salty old wrasslegaf?

see5harp · Mar 16, 2015

I don't watch wrestling but found this pretty entertaining. The chick who plays Cena is fine as shit.

Sibersk Esto · Mar 16, 2015

no mention of Nash or Hall huh?

The Shockmaster shoutout was the best

ezekial45 · Mar 16, 2015

I loved the Shockmaster reference.

God King Bork was also snubbed. His sympy memorial after he died at Summerslam would have worked well for this.

It was a great video, but I think not mentioning WCW and NWO at all was a mistake

That was really really good.

I'm marking out.

Striker · Mar 16, 2015

Weird inaccuracies aside, that was neat. Easily the best part was finding the actors/past employers of WWE/TNA/indies in there.

bishoptl · Mar 16, 2015

This was very well done, and Cena's music had me on the floor. Even if you're a old wrestling head (like me) there's a lot to like here.

What was going on in WCW wasn't really that relevant to the HHH character arc. The video is only dealing with things like characters' personalities and motivations rather than the external factors like the state of the business at the time.

Kevin Nash's and Scott Hall's popularity around the new generation as well as their departure and the WCW and WWF rivalry were pretty important to the rise of HHH

Sure, but that's more in the sense of them leaving created space at the main event level for HHH to move up the card and then HHH being a good fit for the new direction the industry was heading in. The video is just a character study which is just talking about things from a kayfabe point of view. Nash and Hall have had a huge impact on HHH's career, but more in the backstage aspect.

Wreck-It Ralph · Mar 16, 2015

I've never cared for wrestling, but that was really interesting and funny.

Wendel Clark · Mar 16, 2015

this makes triple h seem interesting

Shamrock7r · Mar 16, 2015

His "Death and Return of Superman" video was laughably terrible, but I will give it a watch. If anything it will also be laughably terrible, although I can imagine what it's about and would be hard to get wrong.

Why was it laughably terrible?

He is a good story teller who makes fun little internet videos. He is also pretty accurate in telling the story for those who didn't live through the event in the 90s.

BeatnikGunsoo · Mar 16, 2015

This was amazing

It's been awhile since I saw the video but I disagreed with most of his opinions about the story arc and Superman in general. Just putting on the video real quick, within the first 30 seconds of the video he shows that he doesn't really understand the Superman character at all.

if you're referring to the "nobody cares about Superman" riff, he admitted he was being facetious and actually likes the superman character

Then d... does he actually like the John Cena character?

Again, I'd have to re-watch it, but I remember him being extremely nitpicky about a lot of stuff.

Probably not

Man of Steel on blast.

It occurs to me that Max Landis would fucking love One Punch Man.

Anth0ny · Mar 16, 2015

Okay that was pretty good. Some insane cameos in there.

Thanks for the link. That's a much better video on his thoughts about Superman. I don't feel like he articulated that thought process well in the Death and Return video.

Girl Shawn Michaels is hooooooot

He understands the character better than most.*

*Most being some comic book nut who is ready to tell me every breath Clark Kent took in print, and why everything is wrong.

He is able to straddle his nerd knowledge into an accessible layman story pretty well.

He says he just told it from memory. I mean, most of these "events" took place over like 2-3 years, its not surprising he didn't get it all right.

Indrid Cold1 · Mar 16, 2015

That was great, really funny. I wish I had daddy's money and connections to throw around to indulge my nerdiness. I'm super jealous of the guy cause he seems kind of talented in his own right as well. The salt is real here.

poopninjamvc3mk · Mar 16, 2015

That cena theme is downright amazing.

Goddamn Josh Peck is handsome as hell.

Needed more Ric Flair

'People who are better than him.'

In 2000, the time Landis is talking about, HHH was legit worlds ahead of Chris Jericho in every possible regard.

Man... I...

Nah.

I just wish the Cena part was longer it had me rolling

Jamie OD · Mar 16, 2015

The AT&T girl got to be the Ultimate Warrior lol

Singularity42 · Mar 17, 2015

I caught most of the cameos with the exception of John Landis and Chris Hero.

It was a stupidly fun video just like wrestling.

Wanted to hate it but it grew on me as I watched

Angry Grimace · Mar 17, 2015

Also, I caught a Titty Master sign in the little fake crowd which had me laughing.
