Question Of The Day: The Return

Howdy folks, I figured since we lost our unofficial community organizer, I’d take a run at doing the QOTD, which will hopefully be more successful than my video game reviews. Of course that pro-wrestling show with Xpac and Vampiro on MTV was more successful than my video game reviews, but hey, who’s counting (besides me).

So, here’s the question for this lovely Saturday Afternoon:

What’s your favorite comeback? 

  
To get the ball rolling, I have a few:

Wrestling: Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H at Summerslam 2002.

When I first heard this match was happening, I had never seen Shawn Michaels wrestle, having only known him as ‘the guy’ from a previous generation I never watched.  So I was expecting his ‘match’ against Triple H to be, well, essentially what we got a bunch of years later when Bret squared off against Vince.

But instead I was absolutely blown away, and it was probably the first sense I got for great story-telling in a match at a young age – and how they worked real life issues (Shawn’s back, the HHH/HBK Bromance) into a worked angle that came off like gangbusters.

Movies: RDJ is Iron Man, baby.

RDJ was sort of a punchline up until the whole ‘Iron Man’ thing for people born in the 80s. Sure, you had heard of him, he popped up in a few roles here and there and was mostly good, but unfortunately he was most known as the guy who did the drugs and got caught – so like a less personable Charlie Sheen.

Then he kind of cleaned himself up (he actually just hired a driver) and got cast as Tony Stark, which is about as perfect as you could get for that role – up there with Patrick Stewart as Professor X and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.  It was great!

1. Would anyone be interested in a Madden 25 league on Xbox 360?
2. Would anyone be interested in a “Golf Star” league on iPad? It’s a great little golf game, it’s free, and fun.
