Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/stabbing/disembowelment/domestic violence/breaking/drugs/animal cruelty/burning/medical

Road House, Road House, Road House yes Peter Griffin it is time for Road House: when Frank Tilghman [Kevin Tighe] is having problems with his bar establishment "Double Deuce" he goes to find  one of the best security guards in the bar industry today in James Dalton "Dalton" [Patrick Swayze] he puts over the other best security guards in the bar industry today in Wade Garrett [Sam Elliott,] but Tilghman doesn't want him he wants Dalton, so Dalton sets down what he wants to do the job, Tilghman agrees, Dalton throws in his current job which is also security for other bar "Band Stand." Dalton makes an instant impact by firing a selection of people including a security member by the name of Morgan [Terry Funk,] Dalton better be careful because sooner or later if he shakes the status quo too hard eventually someone is going to push back and hard.

The pacing of this 114 minutes film is like the rest of this film really solidly good, okay we have this instantaneous restoration of "Double Deuce." To be honest I know what they have done here and I get it; there was no problem here from me, to probably save some money they just went from then to now. I just went with how it looked first of all.

Comedy: there is a little bit of a running joke when it is appropriate of when Dalton's vehicle gets damaged.

Action: it revolves around hand-in-hand comeback, martial arts or/and a usage of a monster truck.

Art: Cody [Jeff Healey] Healey is a blind musician and yes full disclosure I know this because I did a little bit of research on him; he also plays some music throughout the closing credits with him on screen and the ending credits going over. Moving on to Garrett's blood running down his rose tattooed on his arm; this is good art.

Character developments and performances: they are all good; Dalton has baggage from a previous event, so it does give our lead role a little bit more substance and a dimension to him, which gives the film more to work with when it is appropriate to bring it into play and as I just made reference to the performances are good.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; I mean for a 1989 film where you could get away with this kind of thing, it fits in really well with this time in history of the film industry. But it was a good thing they didn't make a sequel Oh wait they did Road House 2: Last Call 2006, but at least they aren't thinking about making a remake, damn it Road House 2023 starring Jake Gyllenhaal as Dalton. This film also has some awards accredited to its name; 5 Nominees, I don't know how I'm going to say this so I am just going to come out and say it in one way or another all of these awards are negative; Razzie Awards 1990 Razzie Awards Worst Picture Joel Silver, Worst Supporting Actor Ben Gazzara, Worst Director Rowdy Herrington Worst Screenplay, Worst Screenplay R. Lance Hill (also story) Hilary Henkin and Worst Actor Patrick Swayze For Next of Kin.

Red Notice 2021 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/reference to Vladimir Putin/shooting/torture/electrocution/choking/suicide/burning

Don't Trust these three: Special Agent of FBI Behavioural Analyst Unit John Harley [Dwayne Johnson] is after The Bishop/Captain [Gal Gadot] or/and Nathan Booth [Ryan Reynolds] anyone of these two that had possession of one of three Cleopatra's Golden Eggs [we get this historic story as well including Mark Anthony.]

The pacing of this 116 minutes film is like the rest of it generally speaking a stable mobile pacing which later on has a bit of get up and go to it then just goes back into what it was originally. It really goes rely on these five characters/performers including Inspector Urvashi Das [Ritu Arya] and Sotto Voce [Chris Diamantopoulos] to keep this going and be entertaining.

Comedy and Action: Booth makes reference to Harley's back of his head looks like a penis on this escaping sequence that includes; in this basic description Booth stealing this chopper which has two entrances/exits one of those longer military choppers. This is an vitally important element for this next comedy piece, on escaping this prison in this military chopper this security/soldier fires this rocket launcher Harley noticing this he opens the far door so that this rocket can go straight through and hit this mountain. The next sequence I have to mention is this two on one Harley and Booth vs. The Bishop: mixed in with obviously the action, some comedy moments we also have this art; in this sequence at some point it spans across with this background of this black outline of objects and so on and so forth with this red background; it is clearly eye-catching just based on I can roughly remembered meaning I remember it clearly, but I may have got little bit wrong And finally Booth and Harley have this back and forth in this complicated situation involving this bull; where they have this conversation in a nutshell bringing up David Attleborough and Jurassic Park and Booth getting confused between basically real-life and this film franchise, in hindsight they could have made reference to David Attleborough and Richard Attleborough [yes actual brothers one went into nature whilst the other went into films and so on.Richard Attleborough was actually In the first two instalments as Dr.  John HarmmondJurassic Park 1993 and The Lost World: Jurassic Park 1997] so as you can see it would have been nice to get confused about the two brothers instead it would have been higher level of comedy.

I should really highlight something which is likewise clearly irritating, based on its repetitive usage, we have this how things were done and what we miss recap, well it wasn't such of the fact we missed it; it was shot from a different angle I mean in hindsight there was only one occasion where I picked up one something, but it is one of those occasions where if you use something too often it really does lose its appeal.

Characters and the performances; as I have already indicated it does take these characters which are absolutely fine versions of what they are meant to be and their performers to make/carry this film. But even with this being stated when this film is going through one of its slower sections the chemistry and comedy hell everything feels slightly yet noticeably forced, as it is jarring, but when this film is quicker this disappearance and then slightly comes back when things slow down a bit but it is no way as noticeable they just carry it so it doesn't go backwards.

This film receives: 5/10, this is mixed: it is a solid film for what it is which a crime comedy, in fact the person I watched this film said and I am paraphrasing here it was a pleasant little film and not only that it has one accredited award to its name Nominee Georgia Film Critics Association (GAFCA) 2022 Oglethorpe Award for Excellence in Georgia Cinema Rawson Marshall Thurber

Recommendation of: WWE Royal Rumble 2023 by AverageMansReviews

Recommendation of: WWE Royal Rumble 2023 by AverageMansReviews

Warning/Disclaimer/Blood warning/Legal dispute reference: there is flashing/colourful effects throughout. Disclaimer I have never or are likely to be a professional wrestler.

Men's Royal Rumble Match; 30-Man Royal Rumble Match for a Undisputed WWE Universal Championship Match at WrestleMania 39/2023: I don't have any problems with this match/match slot it was lots of fun, but it had been circling online that is to say for legal reasons which Michael Cole makes reference to they weren't going to mention a new tag team name consisting of Drew McIntyre & Sheamus and yes or people that know what I'm talking about yes that name. But it gets mentioned a few times in some capacity. This match/match slot receives: 10/10.

Bray Wyatt vs. LA Knight; Mountain Dew Pitch Black Match: for the next two sections of this Premium Live Event it becomes without giving too much away The Bray Wyatt Show, which I have no problem with whatsoever and you can tell by the way that Triple H. was very much in control of this event just based on the storyline telling, because there is no way in hell Mr. McMahon would put this level of storytelling or allow in some capacity in these matches/match slots. But back to here and now the storytelling is amazing, the match itself is somewhat creative to a certain extent, but it goes how you think it would go. This match/match slot receives: 9/10.

Alexa Bliss vs. Champ Bianca Belair; Singles Match for the WWE Raw Women's Championship: this match is the weakest on the card by some distance, I mean it was good, it does what it is designed to do, if it was known by was beginning to fall asleep, but once again and tell me if you've heard this already but yet again because of the match slot storyline it boosts the up the match/match slot up by one and woke me up again. This match/match slot receives: 7/10

Women's Royal Rumble Match; 30-Woman Royal Rumble Match for a WWE Raw or SmackDown Women's Championship Match at WrestleMania 39/2023: like the men's I have no problem with this; it was hard fought contest and if the new hierarchy were smart, they couldn't shouldn't be any more happier with how this match/match slot went down. Because mostly everyone looked better for being involved in this match/match slot and where the smart comment comes into it is basically this is one of the golden opportunities where as I have already referenced because mostly everyone looks good for being here, they could use this opportunity to have a hard reset on the women's divisions in general, so please WWE don't waste this opportunity and if you want to think about it; it couldn't have happened at a better time based on it is the beginning of 2023 and I'm sure they have some kind of plans in place for WrestleMania 39/2023 already, but it is much better to have a thriving division of any gender in any wrestling promotion for good competition and hopefully not, but you never know wrestlers of any gender unfortunately get injured, so sometimes you may need to use plan B or even C. and blood warning at some point here.

Kevin Owens vs. Champ The Bloodline's Roman Reigns [with Paul Heyman & Sami Zayn;] Singles Match for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championships: full disclosure I watched this match/match slot the next day, because I was just burned out from doing content nothing against this wrestling event. This match/match slot will get what it is given which I will leave on that later, but first I need to point out some things. I am now convinced that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will be a part of WrestleMania 39/2023, before you get your hopes up I am thinking of a Special Guest Referee or another official capacity only. Because we have Reigns performing a Rock Bottom and Michael Cole making reference to it on commentary. I do partly believe that Johnson may be too busy to get into ring shape, but then again it is WrestleMania 39/2023 in Hollywood and you can't not have one of the biggest wrestlers/movie stars/TV stars to not be on the card in some capacity.

It is very true I don't watch the WWE TV programming product, in a nutshell I can either create content or watch TV. But however this is completely speculation and opinion based. Now as WrestleMania 40/2024 is relatively right around the corner; they need something massive for this milestone event and I am beginning to get the feeling of 2012 where basically we had John Cena vs. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson at WrestleMania 28/2012 where for the younger wrestling fans we actually had a year of building up from WrestleMania 27/2011 to the following year. So as you can see it has been many moons since they have used this formula and yes I know Cena vs. Johnson had a rematch at the following year's WrestleMania 29/2013 for the WWE Championship but either way it is still quite a few years since they have used this formula so they should bring it back for Johnson vs. Reigns.

But back to here and now there is one comment on commentary which I am not being a snowflake or easily upset. But I have to be honest I did find it a poor choice of words from Cory Graves where on commentary; Michael Cole makes reference to the fact that Reigns hasn't been pinned in over three years. Graves: " It is difficult to fathom particularly in this business" [a moment or two later] "There are some careers that don't last three years in the WWE, careers let alone title reigns." I may have not got this down all correct, but just to cover my back this is pretty much what he says. Which I find in bad taste because of the amount of releases that the WWE has done throughout the recent years [which they financially didn't have to do] including impending releases at some point in the future. Then you have Cory Graves safely behind his desk bringing it up on commentary, with or without someone saying it in his headset, I don't care who says it; it is in bad taste and yes I know, I am fully aware the wrestling business is a business, but I think we can all agree or the vast majority of us can agree the way the WWE continues to do business such as Oh I don't know a hostile takeover of yes Mr. McMahon''s promotion, but The Board of Directors back then unanimously declined to have him back, but by hook or by crook he has got himself back onto  The Board of Directors as of this content he is facing not one, not two but three lawsuits because of this [in the interest of fairness and balance away from the lawsuits no one wants him anywhere near the WWE] and not forgetting this massive detail he also has settled out of court with an ex-referee Rita Chatterton going back years of sexual misconduct [I know what he has roughly done,] meaning I just had to pick softer wording for my content here and not to protect him in the slightest. So as you can see by Graves using the words he did here it is a snowball effect that you don't want to even touch because once you get that ball rolling with someone like me that has some idea of what I am talking about it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

But once again back to this match; the final thing I have to bring up is unfortunately Kevin Owens has botch moment, you are roughly looking for when he goes on to the top turnbuckle. I am not criticising this in the slightest, I just hope he is okay, it just looked like one of those heavy falls where he went straight down, but we come to the final stages of this content. It is one of those occasions where yes you can clearly see that I have a lot to say on it, but with taking everything into consideration this closing section is just too strong to give it anything less than what I will give it. This match/match slot receives: 10/10.

The average mark of this pay-per-view is: 10/10, well I couldn't give anything less based on the markings that are in front of you, yes it has its problems but the positives are as I have already made reference to; are too strong, so it compensates for the weaknesses.

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/strangling/drugs

How far would you go to save your son?: In this particular case in a nutshell John Matthews [Dwayne Johnson;] a business man of lorry distributing [meaning he has business of lorries distributing goods;] he makes a deal with District Attorney Janne Keeghan [Susan Sarandon] to go undercover to bring Malik a.k.a. Mark Anderson [Michael K. Williams/Michael Kenneth Williams;] with unknowingly at first Daniel James a.k.a. Cruzer [Jon Bernthal] down reduced from his son's Jason Collins [Rafi Gavron] potentially lengthy prison sentence. DEA Agent Cooper [Barry Pepper] has a quick decision to make between taking Malik or go for a bigger fish? Well you will have to watch to find out what he decides to do.

The pacing of this 112 minutes film is not the most quickest of films I have ever seen, but generally speaking it is like the rest of this film solid it knows what it wants to do and sticks to the plan.

Art: there are a small amount of occasions where we see the sky clearly moving; these are small and elegant moments.

Action: of what we have of the action involving a lorry these would be the notable action scenes of this film.

The character developments and the performances; on reflection I would say they were all good, their character types are what they are meant to be and the performances are likewise all good, the reason why I am being very deliberate in thinking about this is because I have been thinking about the pacing problem as in it leaves these performers high and dry so it comes off the feeling like they have to fill some of this empty space, so it is a very good thing that they chose Johnson to be in the lead role, because I knew him from his wrestling days originally and because he is not only a physically big guy, he can also fill up any screen with his stage presence which in this film he acts like the spearhead behind it, yes absolutely the other performers working off one another without Johnson they do good stuff as well, but this is another one of Johnson's films from his early years that you look back on and you go this guy is not only going to be a massive star in the wrestling industry, but also the film industry as well.

 This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed, as I have already referenced it is a solid film, so who knows if this film had a quick and pacing to  it I may have given it a higher marking, but that is all based on speculation and if you are a fan of Dwayne Johnson take a look at this film and it also has a Nominee accredited to its name and yes I know it has nothing to do with this film, but it is here nonetheless Acapulco Black Film Festival 2014 Hollywood Award  Artist of the Year Dwayne Johnson For Furious 6 , Pain & Gain and G.I.

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for WWE Royal Rumble 2023 by AverageMansReviews

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for WWE Royal Rumble 2023 by AverageMansReviews

Men's Royal Rumble Match; 30-Man Royal Rumble Match for a Undisputed WWE Universal Championship Match at WrestleMania 39/2023: my pick is Cody Rhodes. Just based on here and now if every opportunity that they have in mind falls through they have this option on the table. In both Royal Rumble Matches, I do now believe that they will take these opportunities to set up two programs for WrestleMania 39/2023 as it relates to this match; as some people have suggested, it will be Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley at minimum Singles Match, I would like to put them in a Hell In A Cell Match, it would be the perfect place to do it, I just don't see them doing it.

Women's Royal Rumble Match; 30-Woman Royal Rumble Match for a WWE Raw or SmackDown Women's Championship Match at WrestleMania 39/2023: my pick is well for me there is only one person and that would be Asuka, but not Asuka but Kana I have only seen a little bit here and a little bit there of this character. But put her up against Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 39/2023 for the WWE Raw Women's Championship and have her pick up this championship please and thank you WWE and yes if this match should transpire at the biggest stage of them all in professional wrestling; you can take this as my early prediction for this match. Full disclaimer I know I am not the only one that at least once per two win this year's Women's Royal Rumble Match. Just for the record there is only one other person that could win here and the only reason I haven't mentioned her name on reflection is because I know what I'm about to say next is going to sound really strange, but it will make sense; in my honest opinion of what I have seen online and of Premium Live Events, giving Rhea Ripley this opportunity [which I am not against] strangely feels like a step back for her at this time and once again I do agree that with people online that Ripley will have a strong Royal Rumble. But I do see her getting thrown out by a returning Beth Phoenix to set up a restart of a program between Phoenix & Edge vs. Ripley & Dominik; Mixed-Tag Team Match with the added stipulation of the other Judgement Day members banned from ringside.

Bray Wyatt vs. LA Knight; Mountain Dew Pitch Black Match: my pick is Bray Wyatt. I think this match and the next one after this one are going to be good, but I think they will probably be more and connecting storyline progression.

Alexa Bliss vs. Champ Bianca Belair; Singles Match for the WWE Raw Women's Championship: my pick is Bianca Belair. Bliss will lose and there will be strange goings-on after the match to lead her back to Wyatt.

Kevin Owens vs. Champ The Bloodline's Roman Reigns [with Paul Heyman;] Singles Match for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championships: my pick is Roman Reigns. As I think we all know this is obvious, I don't know I'm going to say that again I don't know if they are still going with something which was spoken about some time ago or not where we have Owens & Sami Zayn going after The Bloodline's the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos [Jey & Jimmy Uso] at WrestleMania 39/2023.

But let's finish this on a positive after this Premium Live Event there should be plenty of noteworthy news coming out and the picture for WrestleMania 39/2023 should be hopefully a little bit clearer.

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/stabbing/torture/breaking/biting/disfigurement/animal cruelty/animal and human vomiting/drugs/medical

What we have here is a Buddy Cop comedy: this is one of those storylines if I give you a rough outline it would be better so I don't give everything away; so here we go basically an LAPD Detective  Victor "Vic" Manning [Dave Batista] is seeking revenge against  Oka Tedjo [Iko Uwais] and to stop this drugs shipment coming in, but unfortunately on the day that this all goes down, LAPD Detective Manning goes in for corrective laser eye treatment; he means well, but he is focused on his work and he is a man's man; he has to rely on this Uber driver Stu Prasad [Kumail Nanjiani;] which he has this job and another one shop called "Outside The Box" he is a very nice man, but has no backbone.

The pacing of this 93 minute film is slow to begin with actually it is like the rest of this film slow to build up but a solid version of the mark which I will be giving at the end of this review.

Everything about this film is designed to follow the Buddy Cop genre; I know I usually split things down into different sections, but in this case it wouldn't make much sense for me to do that because everything is linked into being a safe and reliable genre version of a Buddy Cop movie. The character developments and performances allow this film to follow that format especially when we have the partnership of Batista and Nanjiani with all in all good chemistry to build this natural dynamic of what they were going for, the cast or all good as well.

The comedy ranges from LAPD Detective Manning having vision like Mr. Magoo [for those that are not even old enough to remember this cartoon character the first time around or too old to watch the new version; full disclosure as of this content being created I have never watched the new version I have seen commercials that is about it;] in short this cartoon character is a old man with severe visual issues and somehow he goes through every day not being harmed, but he gets so incredibly close to being harmed, but everything else around him at minimum takes evasive action.

Or later on Prasad comes up with the idea to throw this propane tank [a handheld size] in this car chasing sequins he is going to throw backwards our lead partnership have this brief back-and-forth about this is not like the Jaws [the 1975 film; without giving too much away this tactic was used well in this film;] I mean it works here as well, but not exactly according to plan; but hey at least it eliminates some hench-people in their vehicle.

This film receives: 6/10, this film is good; after everything is said and done this film finds itself at this mark, yes as I have already referenced in one way or another it is in version of the Buddy Cop genre. This film also has some awards accredited to its name 5 Nominees that ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards 2020 ASCAP Composers' Choice Award Joseph Trapanese and no they are not all positive either St. Louis Film Critics Association, US 2019 SLFCA Award Worst Film of the Year

Scream 3 2000 by AverageMansReviews

Scream 3 2000 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/stabbing/cutting/impaling/burning/beheading/decapitation/choking

As this is the end of a trilogy, what we thought were the rules no longer apply: in a nutshell; we are on the set of "Stab 3" and it looks that Ghostface is back; bring Sydney Prescott/Laura [Neve Campbell] out of hiding, to seek revenge. But one thing is sure the news of these murders will attract the attention of one Gayle Weathers [Courtney Cox ; yes when you come to watch this film her last name back then was Cox Arquette, because they were married at this point in history] looking for a story and Dewey Riley [David Arquette] is an advisor on the set for "Stab 3" and even though Jennifer Jolie/Gayle Weathers in the Stab franchise at this point [Parker Posey] has a bodyguard in Steve Stone [Patrick Warburton] she keeps Riley around for safety Man with Video Camera on Studio Tour [Director of this film Wes Craven;] full disclosure I didn't see him but he is on the cast list.

The framework uses background music to build suspense and pacing of this 117 minutes film is solidly progressive

Action: they are solid sequences for this franchise

Comedy: we have some cameos for two examples; Randy Meeks [Jamie Kennedy;] which met his end in Scream 2 1997, but as was a film buff he had made plans for this eventuality by recording a video recording [on a VHS video; for my younger readers this is the invention before DVDs] where he basically says to our watches that as I have already said in my headline of this review; I am paraphrasing here there are no rules and everything is basically on the table. Bianca [Carrie Fisher] a hard-nosed archive receptionist for this studio and yes she knows she looks like Carrie Fisher.

Character developments and the performances: this cast is all good, but having said that it does help when you have three main returning characters to be the driving force behind it, as in have experienced trying to solve this mystery before we lose more characters than we have two in Sydney Prescott/Laura [Neve Campbell,] Gayle Weathers [Courtney Cox] and Dewey Riley [David Arquette.]

This film receives: 6/10,this film is good; after everything is said and done this instalment find itself at this mark and on a side note once again for the younger people out there David Arquette can be deemed as a wrestler, based on the fact he won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship and held onto it for 12 days, when he won it off DDP Dimond Dallas Page on 25/04/2000 an episode of WCW Thunder then Arquette became a transitional champion and dropped it to Jeff Jarrett at WCW Slamboree 07/05/2000. But back to this film; it also has some awards accredited to its name 6 Winners that includes Blockbuster Entertainment Awards 2001 Blockbuster Entertainment Award; Favorite Actress - Horror (Internet Only) Neve Campbell Favorite Actor - Horror (Internet Only) David Arquette. 5 Nominees that includes from the same award ceremony/event Favorite Actress - Horror (Internet Only) Courteney Cox. But however the awards are not all positive ones there is one negative awards and that is Winner Bogey Awards, Germany 2000 Bogey Award.

Review Time:

5 things about this episode

Warning: there is flashing/colourful/other effects/bodily functions/child abuse

Who is Hercules Student #07 Generation X's Jade?: Storyline, Character [Character developments,] Action and Art; well in this episode as Jade doesn't show up to this IFW [Intergalactic Wrestling Federation] press conference for the next upcoming matches. But instead we meet again this strange and mysterious individual; who said Auf Wiedersehen [English interpretation; Goodbye] to The Muscle League, it was their best ever trainer Brocken Jr. He shows everyone what Jade is doing instead which is training and tells of this story of The Muscle League back years ago, himself and meeting this young individual by the name of Jade and his tragic story. In one training exercise we see this younger Jade who has a harness made out of rope which is connected to this big bell and he is running and pulling this bell behind him in this bad weather then falls down from exhaustion; it is a creative training exercise which simultaneously is imaginative art.

This episode receives: 8/10; this episode is excellent, it does a lot of ground/background work which keeps things nicely progressing forward.

Pay-Per-View Rewind of: WWF/WWE King of the Ring 13/06/1993 Match 2 Part 2 by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects

Match/Stipulations: Mr. Hughes [with Harvey Wippleman] vs. Mr. Perfect; King of the Ring; First Round/Quarter-Finals Singles Match: Additional First Round/Quarter-Finals 15 Minutes Time Limit, Second Round/Semi-Finals 30 Minutes and Final 60 Minutes, Pin Falls, Submissions, Count Outs and Disqualifications apply, just keep finding away to win. If there are any time limit expirations, double disqualifications count outs, whomever you were going to face in the next round gets a bye into the following round of the tournament.

Match Quality: 7/10

Match Slot Storyline: 7/10

Crowd Participation: 7/10

On Commentary: "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Jim Ross & Bobby " The Brain" Heenan/"Weasel" 8/10

Satisfying Conclusion: 7/10

Recommend Watch: 7/10

Match Total: 43/60 - this match is good

Comments: it is a good section and it keeps the upbeat momentum of this pay-per-view going. Apologies if you find this offensive as in the name of this camera; it goes by the name of Brain Scan, it is where Heenan in this case has the technology to draw on screen, you know the old-fashioned technology that is still used in the modern world in some capacity by sports pundits use on live events or replays like for example John Madden to dissect the potential or previous play. But in this Heenan draws a basic baseball bat and dots to re-enact Mr. Perfect spitting out his chewing gum from his mouth and hitting it with his hand and Heenan is putting over that basically it was a great hit going, going on that kind of thing.

Heenan accidentally yet quickly corrects himself when he calls Ross Gorilla Monsoon, Ross says I will take that as in it is a great honour to be mistaken as Monsoon.

During the match we have Ross interviewing "The Hitman" [he appears in a square on screen] in a nutshell he asked who would you like to face out of this match which is currently taking place right now? The WWE or AEW should be thinking about bringing this interview segment back, it is something productive, elegant and brings an element of realism to the world of wrestling.

For the match itself as I have already indicated it is good, but there is one small botch, it is where Mr. Hughes looks to potentially perform a spinebuster [I am not saying this is what was meant to happen, but this is something for you to look for] so Mr. Perfect comes running off the ropes Mr. Hughes goes into performer in move and they just collapse on top of one another, but simultaneously Mr. Perfect carries on.

Basic Result: Mr. Perfect books himself a spot in the next round vs. "The Hitman."

Basic walk-through of this event:

* Jim Ross: Commentary to the backdrop of Mr. Perfect's theme music of "Perfection" with the brackets of the King of the Ring and on screen up-date them.

* "Mean" Gene Okerlund: interviewer, interviews Yokozuna [with Mr. Fuji] about their match tonight with Hulk Hogan for the WWF Championship.

* The Finkel: Ring announcer says the stipulations and then introduces the competitors.

Move over Lieutenant Casey Ryback, there is a new chef in the kitchen: it is opening night for this restaurant known as "Etoile Rouge" ran by these two owners, this husband-and-wife of Ray [Don Johnson] and Ana [Olga Kurylenko;] Ray does the front of the house thing whilst Ana does her head chef thing. But however they are both lying to one another, Roy owes this large amount of money roughly $1.3 million to Dom [Dallas Page] so he wants to run this scheme where someone burns this restaurant to the ground to receive the insurance money, which it sounds like they have used this method when a few times; he hands the job to his son Mickey [Ivan Martin,] but things don't go according to plan. Whilst Ana has forgotten to tell her husband one very small detail; that she used to work for the KGB, but I am sure her skills and talents will come in very useful at some point throughout this film.

The pacing of this 87 minutes film is solidly good and the art used in the opening credits sequence of basically espionage, mystery and classy is easily engaging and likewise easy to settle down with.

Action: the action is good; here is one action sequence I should highlight Ana vs. Mimi [Kaitlin Doubleday;] let's just say they have a history, but hey at least Mimi has a husband Tom [Chris Diamantopoulos;] marriage on the rocks with two twin daughters which I will bring them up momentarily.

Comedy: there is a comedy tone intermittently in this film the best scene; these twin sisters Becky [Bianca D'Ambrosio] and Kaitlyn [Chiara D'Ambrosio] have the identical wardrobe, for a moment at like Alexie & Alexa Grady [from The Shining 1980 film.]

Character developments and performances; on both counts they are all good; with the two examples I have already made reference to in this content they are all reliably entertaining versions of their character types from this cast.

This film receives: 6/10, this film is good; this is a situation based film where they can make reference to previous events and but as long as we stay in the present and in this situation, which also covers for the end of this film it is something solid, but after this situation has been sorted out, it doesn't matter about after this event, because all we are is here and now in this night time.

Pay-Per-View Rewind of: WWF/WWE King of the Ring 13/06/1993 Match 1 Part 1 by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

Pay-Per-View Rewind of: WWF/WWE King of the Ring 13/06/1993 Match 1 Part 1 by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

Chosen by: Me; just because as things stand it has been speculated that this event may be coming back in 2023, so I was thinking I would look at the inaugural tournament, I should point out this is before the Mr. McMahon comeback situation.

Basic walk-through of this event:

* Vince McMahon voice over: screen graphics [from opening to the end of this section highly creative graphics were used here] of the first round/semi-final round matches of tonight's King of the Ring tournament.

* "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Jim Ross & Bobby " The Brain" Heenan/" Wiesel": Commentary basically welcomed us and between them talk about the championship matches we have tonight Ross and Savage are up first with Yokozuna [with Mr. Fuji] vs. the WWF Champion Hulk Hogan [with "Mouth of The South" Jimmy Hart] with Hogan's Championship on the line. Ross and Heenan discuss Crush vs. the Intercontinental Champion The Two Dudes with Attitude: Shawn Michaels [with Diesel] with likewise Michaels' Intercontinental Championship on the line here. Throughout this opening section here, we get these two matches on screen at one point or another and I should just point out before someone picks up on it without the accompanying characters on these graphics. Yes by today's standards and this is for the younger generations you may think they are relatively basic, but I see them as vintage WWF, they are clean and tidy. One final thing because we have three on the commentary table, the dynamics is something like this meaning they may agree with one another but this is their model; Savage [babyface,] Ross [neutral] and Heenan [heel] and what really puts this over is Savage and Heenan there is clearly friction between these two pairs their body language and mannerisms would suggest with Ross in the middle handing things over to our ring announcer The Finkel.

* The Finkel: says the stipulations and then introduces the competitors.

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects

Comments: it begins this pay-per-view with a bang and hopefully sets the tone for the rest of it. Ross highlights are the rules [which I have already put in the stipulations at one point or another they will apply and if you're wondering why I have put them all, it is because I know at some point I may run the risk of forgetting or changing, so if I put them all now I can't screwed up, but I will delete as we progress through this tournament] and a little later Savage and Heenan reinforce these rules on commentary and then a little later Savage highlighted again for both competitors. [Additionally: because I have seen a few matches after this one they make reference to the stipulations on a consistent basis, so I have decided to state that here for the first time and I won't make reference to it again unless I really have to or choose to for some reason, I don't mind them  bringing it up on commentary, because they are in the moment, but I don't want to come off as annoying by repeating something unless as I have already said I want to or need to.]

Between Heenan and Ross they make a mistake where we are on the outside and Heenan paraphrasing Ramon can't beat Hart on the outside of the ring the only winners advance which Ross concurs with this. Ross later on also makes a mistake with using Savage name as an in ring competitor in this match, but he corrected himself halfway through, I am still not going to take any marks off for these because Ross puts in so much enthusiastic energy that I can't overly criticise it yes absolutely I can point it out, but when someone is being enthusiastic it is very difficult to criticise someone unless I have a genuine reason to.

Likewise the crowd participation is amazing even though they are quiet can now and again, you can really get the undertone of electric crowd and finally this match ends very smartly indeed it protects its loser with being out wrestled.

Basic Result: Bret "The Hitman" Hart advances to the next round of the King of the Ring.

Basic walk-through of this event:

"Macho Man" Randy Savage, Jim Ross & Bobby "The Brain" Heenan:/" Wiesel" Commentary watching replays of part of this match with Bret "The Hitman" Hart's theme music "Hart Attack"

* Jim Ross: Commentary senders to a video package in a nutshell how Mr. Hughes and Harvey Wippleman got their hands on The Undertaker's urn

* The Finkel: Ring announcer says the stipulations and then introduces the competitors.
