To be fair, I had a topic for blocking him too. Gotta follow up major news stories though.

I want to hear the Val Kilmer story now too!

I'll try to transcribe it as best as I can:

One of the first action scenes we filmed was the gang versus Batman, and we prepped it for five days. The stunt coordinator said, "Val will be here, Val is coming." And for five days we worked with his stand-in. But Val was supposed to be in the scene. I don't know if he was working on it somewhere else, but we were in the actual scene, and he never showed up. Until the day of filming.

Now there's this moment in the scene, you can watch, where he delivers this big booted kick to a thug's chest. And the thug goes off-screen and that's their entire spot in the fight. That was me; when Val came in to work, we weren't going to have many opportunities to shoot and reshoot for this scene. Val, to his credit, he goes for the kick just like the rest of us and practiced, but he takes those huge boots and he just crushes my chest and I go flying off-screen for real. And I'm gasping and wheezing for air during the rest of the take. I got a massive bruise on my chest that was probably there for a month or six weeks. The scene finishes shooting, Kilmer walks off. Everyone is just sort of surprised because he clearly knocked the wind out of me and he didn't even give a courtesy apology. I was supposed to land on the bag, but he had kicked me so hard that I went over it, and I hit the floor. I wasn't seriously injured, but it's one of those situations where you are expected to actually say something afterwards. Like a week later, I'm standing on set and Val is talking to the stunt coordinator next to me. The coordinator is explaining the scene and he's like stressing that Val needs to be sure he does the practice runs of this stunt because he's already beaten up two of the stuntmen. And Val acts surprised, like he's done nothing wrong. And the stunt guy sort of pull the top of my shirt down a little and shows the top of this massive bruise. Val just sort of shoots the coordinator a glare and walks away.

And this kind of circulates for the week. He'd been in a really bad mood because word I think had gotten to him about Jim. Jim's salary, man, everyone was mad about it. Val thought he was the star. He was Batman, he was the guy in the title, so why was all the buzz about Carrey and Tommy? He didn't leave his trailer that much. I think he expected the movie to be one thing and it ended up being another for him.

He did apologize to me eventually. He came up to me in the Bat-suit, actually. And he has these raccoon eyes from the make-up under the mask, but the mask had to be taken off all the time because it was just so uncomfortable. Anyways, we were headed to a lunch break during a scene and eventually did apologize about knocking me on my ass."

"Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer

As many of you know, I manage a comic and game shop. From time to time, I get some interesting characters in the shop, whether it be a low-level writer or artist, an MtG card artist, etc. Today, however, a man in his mid-50s wandered into my shop, just sort of looking around. I got to talking to him, and I learned he was one of the stuntmen in Batman Forever. He was specifically a thug under the employ of Two-Face, and he appeared in five different action sequences in the movies (for moments apiece).

He had developed a working relationship with Joel Schumacher as well as Tommy Lee Jones stretching back two years beforehand; he had also appeared in a small role in The Client. Schumacher invited him to work on Batman Forever, and he was chatting to me about his work in the movie since I pressed him on it, being the comic and movie nerd that I am. He was on set for about five weeks for Batman Forever, and he was telling me about the individual actors and his few encounters with them (aside from Tommy Lee Jones, where he actually knew him and chatted him up frequently).

All of this is preface to say this: at one point I said, "You know, there's a really famous story that Jones didn't get along with Carrey." This guy laughed and said, "Yeah, Tommy was not a happy camper when it came to Carrey." I didn't press him about the line, but here's roughly what he told me:

"When Carrey came in, everyone was told not to talk to him, not to look at him. Just keep our distance. We were all being told that Carrey was becoming the biggest star in Hollywood thanks to this, that he was the first star to get paid $20 million for a single movie. Tommy didn't say anything in particular to me, but he grunted at the mention of Carrey being paid such a big amount. Carrey came in and it was actually the opposite of what the producers told us. Carrey was very genial-like, he talked to everyone, he was always trying to make you laugh off-screen. I had a great conversation with him because I was from Memphis and I got this job because Schumacher had seen me do my Elvis act, so Carrey said, 'I heard you're the Memphis guy!' We had a great conversation. He loved Elvis.

But Tommy thought Jim was unprofessional, that he slowed down filming, that he distracted everybody. And I remember once on The Client, I tried to say good morning to Tommy right before he was gonna film one of his big scenes. He was pacing up and down, reciting his lines out loud. When I stepped into his view and spoke, he held up a finger and he just shot me a glance, it was deadly. 'Don't even think it.' So I knew Tommy took things very seriously on set. I know that I was in commissary, and I got called out for a wardrobe change. Everyone else had these sleeveless leather jackets, but I was being 'upgraded' to a sleeved jacket because my arms were skinnier than everyone else's. On my way there, I saw Tommy and we chatted while I waited for my fitting. And I'll never forget it, I mentioned that I had finally run into Jim, and he actually stopped me and said, "I hate that man." He actually said that to me.

But actually, the biggest diva on the set was Val Kilmer."

Anyways, I thought I would share with you my brush with buffoonery today!

#26 - Dan Lambert Nominated by: JONA




Kurt Angle is the person who took to wrestling faster than anyone else. Dan Lambert is the person who took to managing faster than anyone else. For, truly, I've never seen someone come in and be as immediately compelling purely in a management role as Dan Lambert's brief but brilliant run in Impact.

Lambert had the ability to channel his legitimacy in the realm of MMA into a mocking derision of both the fake and staged wrestlers and the stupid fans who would buy into the worked matches they watched. By being so utterly arrogant, so holier-than-thou, he gave Bobby Lashley a fresh coat of paint and made his presence felt in Impact. Lambert's attitude was enhanced by his voice which was JUST annoying enough to be a heel without being so annoying that you wanted to turn off his mic. He also cut deep in his promos. He wasn't overboard, he didn't choose to be cartoonish or outrageous. What most impressed me about Lambert is he was that great Flair/Austin "Turn Yourself to 11" style of talker. You can tell when someone not only has a passion for the business and his willing to put in the effort as a character, but they also believe (at least a little bit) in the character they play. They embody it. For me, Dan Lambert reaches the Heyman level of promo skill but in a different way.

Despite a lack of much experience in wrestling, I now hold Lambert as my benchmark for non-wrestler promo success. And that says a lot for his ability, his presence and my desire to see him to return to wrestling. Could you imagine Lashley facing Lesnar with two fantastic promos battling back and forth? With Heyman being allowed to shape his own storylines in WWE, I think it could be a sight to see.

"Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer

#27 - Eddie Guerrero Nominated by: Johnbobb




Am I doing this now? I'm doing this now.

I have very fond memories of Eddie Guerrero as he was one of my favorites when I was younger. Eddie could captivate an audience with his in ring skills and charisma like no other. It's strange to watch back WCW and witness this when, in shoot interviews, certain WCW main eventers like to say he wasn't over. I think his run in the early to mid-2000's really proves otherwise - especially after his "Lie, Cheat, Steal" character really took hold. The gimmick was great and it helped to boost his career to a height that others seem to consider unexpected.

I think Guerrero is a master of timeless matches. Guerrero had many classics wherever he went, whether it be to ECW, to WCW, or to the WWE. I recall so many phenomenal bouts like his last ECW match that he had with Malenko. Probably his greatest match at Halloween Havoc 97 with Rey Mysterio. I actually watched it for the first time with JONA, and I really was blown away watching it; I don't think a cruiserweight match has ever really been that good before or since. Of course, you've also got his match with Brock Lesnar. I know the match itself wasn't the greatest but Eddie played the perfect underdog to Brock's beast and defeating Brock for the Undisputed Championship was such a feel good moment.

Eddie's death is naturally one of the sadder days in wrestling history, and the subsequent commercialization of such a tragedy is beyond appalling. I'd rather not discuss it, but I will say that it's too bad Eddie felt he needed to be massive in order to succeed. He wasn't wrong, but he shouldn't have been right. That young Eddie Guerrero was phenomenal at his size, truly something special to see. But regardless of the era, Eddie's wry smile and crisp moves made him one of the level best in the history of the sport.

Lopen posted...

I do get what you (and Meltzer) are saying though. Like I recently rewatched Jericho vs Benoit's ladder match from Rumble 200... 1? And I was all like "why was this match so highly rated" but I mean the more I think about it the more it was probably because I'm so damn burnt out on ladder spots about 16-17 years after its original broadcast, and in the moment those kinda things were very innovative. But I do think there are a lot of matches out there that are timeless, a lot of matches that were great in the moment but haven't aged well, and a lot of matches that weren't really that good to begin with. Sorting out the latter two is difficult, but I do think a timeless factor to a match makes it better and shouldn't just be discarded either.

I certainly agree that you shouldn't discard that timeless factor. But I also think it's a mistake to throw out an older match because when compared to the matches of the present, it appears not to stack up. The measure of success for a wrestler is the pop in the building and the subsequent draw, in my opinion. So when I look at these Edge matches that feel slightly hokier than, say, an Almas-Gargano match, that doesn't mean they are worse for it.

I do understand the position that Edge's weakpoint is his matches. But, in a lot of ways, Steve Austin's weakpoint was his matches during his peak of success. I do think that, had Edge come up today, he would be a main eventer and also a bit of a better wrestler. The issue is that the style Vince wanted wasn't to the caliber of wrestling I think Edge could have reached.

But yes, the vastly superior Christian would be in serious contention for a Top 10 spot on this list!
---

"Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer

#28 - Edge Nominated by: ZeroSignal




Right behind Chris Jericho these days sits Edge on the list of "Wrestlers Who Most Seem Like Dads."

I honestly find it difficult to rank Edge. He's been party to so many great WWE moments, whether they involve the superior Christian (and why no one nominated him I'll never know) in TLC matches or the superior Christian in the last great comedy segments in WWE history or the superior Christian in their suprisingly enjoyable WWE Network show. By the way, I'm extremely excited to hear that it's returning sometime this year. But Edge by himself also produced a lot of great, compelling moments. Whether they were outrageous (live sex celebration) or pulse-pounding (Ric Flair TLC match), Edge took every opportunity presented to him and turned them into must-see TV. Even the Miz never really reached the levels of Edge moment-seizing.

The reason Edge is involved in memorable moments is simple: he outworks the writers. Edge has a natural relationship with the audience (something Big Cass never found after he lost Enzo), and it allows him to be earnest as a face, but more importantly, a dastardly heel you love to hate. At the same time, you love to love him as well. As an audience participant, you want to follow Edge on his journey because he's cool. But more importantly, he's not SO cool that you want to derail shows in order to CHEER WHO YOU NORMALLY BOO AND BOO WHO YOU NORMALLY CHEER. That's because Edge can measure an audience and find ways to deliver lines that make them matter. The difference between kazoos and five-second poses and whatever terrible line they've asked face Finn Balor or face Seth Rollins to deliver this week is that additional level of psychology Edge presents. His face contorts in just the right way to deliver the emotions necessary in any situation. In fact, I would argue that Edge was one of the best actors in WWE. Ever.

Of course, he drops in the rankings for having a terrible spear. It seems like over time, Edge has lost his edge when it comes to wrestling. His matches haven't aged well. But I'm always reminded by Meltzer of something important: you can't rate a match from the past as if it's being run in the present. Matches truly only matter when they happen. The workers are trying to get over in the time period in which they are wrestling. So to try and dismiss Edge's skill as a wrestler now is counterintuitive to wrestling. And Edge fit perfectly in his era, so I would argue that in the era of the most sports entertainment-y matches, Edge was a fantastic worker.

"Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer

#29 - Hiroshi Tanahashi Nominated by: CybrMonkey



Making the claim that Tanahashi is a once-in-a-century talent is certainly a statement that should normally come off as the arrogant ramblings of a heel, and yet the Ace (Go Ace!) almost single-handedly pulled New Japan back from the brink of banruptcy. He's certainly get a large weight of evidence in support of the prowess of his ability. In a new era where Okada is the newest moneymaker, Naito is growing to be the man of the people, and Kenny Omega is becoming the international face of the promotion, Tanahashi has carved a new role for himself. He has evolved into a living legend. For years we've heard the comparisons of Tanahashi and John Cena, but there's no reason to consider those negative. Cena served as the draw during a dark age of WWE, and Tanahashi is the man who pulled NJPW out of its own bleak era of near-bankruptcy. In many ways, Tanahashi was a better Cena than Cena.

For me, the key is that he is just utterly, utterly charismatic. He has a winning smile and a babyface attitude that doesn't diminish his character or the pathos and drama of his matches. He gets likability because he has likability. That's why he can be graceful in defeat and stand tall in victory. He's become the brand ambassador of New Japan in a way that none of the current Big 3 are... yet. And that role fits him well.

I also want to mention that he gave Billy Gunn a 4 star match. In 2017. Billy Gunn. The guy is such an underrated hand these days.

Finally, his hair is the best hair in the history of not only wrestling, but also real life human hair.

I understand the issue of users who intentionally bait others. The problem is that so many of the people who claim to be against this sort of baiting or circular trolling and response participate in it themselves. So there's a large amount of lip service that isn't followed with any real action. In this case, it should be followed with inaction.

I mean, when I got to the point of being done with Ulti in that thread where he lied about Oceans 8, I did actually block him. And I think it's important t to draw lines from time to time . Ulti participates in bad faith discussions that don't promote the board as a community. If we want politics topics to not resemble trashy backwater imageboards, we have to demonstrate that we won t engage in bad faith behavior.
