Ghouls & Their Favorite Horror Movies (1980s edition)

In honor of Halloween being just a few days away (!!!) have some thoughts about the ghouls and their favorite horror movies. Narrowed down to the 1980s because that's probably my favorite decade for horror (shoutout to the 70s though).

Dew: City of the Living Dead, The Evil Dead, Pieces, Cannibal Holocaust

Resident horror snob and ultimate gorehound. The bloodier, sleazier, and more fucked up the better. Huge fan of the Italian horror directors, especially “Godfather of Gore” and king of onscreen eyeball trauma Lucio Fulci. City of the Living Dead (aka The Gates of Hell) is his favorite, it’s gory, blasphemous, and just obscure enough for him to feel smug when nobody else has heard of it. The biggest horror fan of the group, he’s seen it all and is always on the hunt for something weird and new that he hasn’t seen yet (a difficult task). Introduced pretty much all of the other ghouls to their favorite horror movies.

Aether: Return of the Living Dead, Re-Animator, Night of the Creeps, Killer Klowns from Outer Space

Lover of all the best 80s horror comedies. Silly and fun without being too intense or mean-spirited. The more over the top the better. Aether movie nights are always the most fun. Loves Return of the Living Dead because of the awesome punk rock soundtrack and 80s punk aesthetic. Secretly loves horror comedies the best because he gets to see Dew laughing the whole time. He and Dew are the most annoying about quoting movies back and forth to each other nonstop.

Mountain: The Thing, They Live, Aliens, From Beyond

Loves his horror with a side of sci-fi. Major John Carpenter and Stuart Gordon fan (who isn’t). Also a huge fan of sci-fi horror with amazing practical effects and The Thing is the king of them all (he loves the original too, for the plant-man monster of course). 

Swiss: Hellraiser, Videodrome, Society, Street Trash

Body horror enthusiast. If it's slimy, horny, and taboo then he’s all about it. Unsurprisingly the biggest Cronenberg fan of the bunch. Huge fan of the Hellraiser series, what with all the leather and the chains and the flesh. Will also sit you down and force you to watch Society if you’ve never seen it (you will thank him later).

Phantom: The Monster Squad, Fright Night, The Lost Boys, Near Dark

Of course it’s gotta be The Monster Squad. Phantom loves the classic Universal Monsters and Monster Squad has them all, wrapped up in a super fun 80s horror comedy with great writing and memorable characters. Will undoubtedly yell WOLFMAN’S GOT NARDS at the most inopportune times. Loves vampire movies the most and secretly thinks of his pack a little bit like the group of vampires in Near Dark.

Aurora: Night of the Comet, Slumber Party Massacre, Phenomena, Sleepaway Camp 2

GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS. Loves seeing pretty women absolutely kick ass onscreen. And any horror movie with a female villain will almost always become a favorite. Loves Night of the Comet because why shouldn’t a couple of valley girl cheerleaders get to enjoy a mall shopping spree while also mowing down hordes of comet zombies with machine guns?

Cirrus: Possession, Altered States, The Shining, the Ninth Configuration

Queen of psychological horror. Her picks usually toe the line between horror and other genres. Cirrus movie nights almost always have to come with a “palate cleanser” movie right after (usually a Cumulus or Aether pick). Dew secretly thinks she has the coolest taste of the bunch.

Cumulus: Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers, Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama, Blood Diner, TerrorVision

80s horror comedies (horny version). Like Aether, Cumulus loves horror comedies. But for her, the sexier and more ridiculous the better. Always thinks a movie would do better with more boobs and full-frontal. Vocal advocate for more male nudity in movies. Linnea Quigley is her horror idol.

Sunshine: Slumber Party Massacre 2, Black Roses, Trick or Treat, Slaughterhouse Rock

Number one champion of the rock & roll horror subgenre. Horror and rock music were both public enemy number one during the Satanic Panic of the 80s, and Sunny loves movies that lean into it. Slumber Party Massacre 2 is the most fun with the leather-clad rockabilly slasher facing off against members of an all-girl rock group with his massive (unmistakably phallic) electric guitar-drill.

Rain: Jaws 3, Humanoids from the Deep, The Fog, The Abyss

Absolutely nobody is shocked to discover Rain is a fan of underwater/nautical horror. He doesn’t even care if a movie is “good” as long as it’s wet and full of weird monsters or creatures. Avid defender of Jaws 3 (it has dolphins, hello). His taste is all over the place quality-wise, from b-movie creature features like Humanoids, to the cozy coastal ambiance of the Fog. As the only ghoul who can breathe underwater, he loves to watch others squirm during the breathing fluid scene in the Abyss.

RETAIL GHOULS AU

This is where store manager, Dew and part time college student, Swiss, work in a “NE turn of the century former industrialist coal town turned gritty depressed small town.” The shop is in a crappy little strip mall at the main intersection just off of the hiway. Dew was recently promoted to store manager. There’s another new part time hire named Aeon who is coming in at 5pm that they need to train on how to close. On break, Dew crosses the intersection and goes to the McDonald's (out of frame) to have a smoke and flirt with the tall and handsome cashier, nicknamed Mountain. Mountain always sneaks him free food which he takes back to the shop and shares with Swiss. They watch 1980’s sitcom reruns on the crappy little mini TV behind the cashier counter while stuffing their faces with soggy fries.

OH MY GOD. Christ they would work at a store called Condom's Galore wouldn't they? God Dew leaning on the counter at the dingiest McDonald's in the country. Flirting with Mountain while he waits for his food (it always takes way longer than it should because he and Mountian are too busy pretending they're not making eyes at each other). Bet Aurora and Cumulus are regulars. To the point that Swiss and Dew know when to expect them every week and usually have their regular purchase ready to go before they even walk in the door. Swiss is always trying to take Aurora out on a date but she just laughs at him. And Dew loves to convince Cumulus to try their newest flavored lube. Just because he likes the face she makes when they're god awful (they're always god awful). Bet there's a video rental store nearby too--always about to close. Bet Cirrus is the manager there, and Aether works the counter most days. Swiss ambles over there on his break to browse through the used section and shoot the shit with Aether and Cirrus, and pretend he isn't checking both of them out (they both know, he's not subtle). GOD, ghouls living in run down post-capitalist America just really does something for me too. I adore this idea, Gremlin. Your brain is so big all the timeeee.

things your muse will notice about mine. ( repost, don't reblog. )

what they look like:

Resi is naturally pretty with her tousled chocolate-colored hair she refuses to admit that she had a few grey hairs in the past though, her hair falls beautifully down her back in natural waves. Her expressive, almond-shaped blue eyes appear to sparkle when she's happy and cheerful. Her eyelashes are long and she has a vibrant romantic type face. Her lips are small and plump often in different colours depending on what lipstick she chooses for that day. Her eyebrows are a natural shape and groomed elegantly.

Resi has a friendly, welcoming look (when she likes the person) with a beaming smile showing her almost perfect teeth, there may be some imperfections like crowns missing and a few fillings. Resi radiates light and when she smiles can make anyone feel warm. Resi may have smile lines but as for wrinkles, no way she is too vain for wrinkles she religiously used anti-wrinkle cream since the 1980s, and since then she kept her skin wrinkle-free. Her face can change to one of haughty aloofness if she doesn't like the person and not very welcoming to them.

Her body is womanly, a true hourglass figure with an ample bosom, wide hips, shapely thighs, and slender legs. Her body size varies depending on her mental health as she tends to fluctuate between a curvy size 12/14 to a slender size 8 when upset she tends to overexercise and not eat well - when she is content she is "plumper" as she is happy in he skin and doesn't need to work hard to look good.

what they smell like:

Resi either smells fresh like clean, crisp mountain air, delicate wildflowers (mainly chamomile, snowdrops, and edelweiss) she smells morning dew, a chilly winter morning. She also smells warming and welcoming with hints of vanilla, cinnamon, warm bread, and a hint of beer and apples. Resi has a scent of making someone feel at home, comforting and clean.

What they taste like:

Resi tastes like a fresh, cool breeze tingly and rejuvenating with hints of Apple cinnamon and a hint of beer. Depending on what favoured lip gloss she has she could taste like strawberry, cherry or chocolate mint. She can taste sweet as you can pick up chocolate, whipped cream and sometimes rum, lemon or gingerbread. When "tasting" her is just like consuming a Bavarian dessert.

What they sound like :

Resi's English is pretty good, it is spoken with good pronunciation and delivery. She is polite and welcoming with a tone that instantly draws people into a conversation. Her voice is honeyed and pleasant on the ear while speaking in a 121 conversation or group one (even though she may raise her voice to be heard). Resi is a woman who can use her voice to be heard like a "Listen to me voice" similar to a schoolteacher when she needs to scold anyone and an "I'm better than you voice" when speaking to her rivals. Resi can get tongue-tied when thinking of a word in English and will often respond with "hmm" or "mmm" when she is thinking of a word or rather use long silences as she thinks of the current word. Naturally, when she is upset or angry her tone switches accordingly to how she feels. When angry she can sound very demanding "Listen to me!" type of voice with a lot of Bavarian racial slurs thrown in e.g. Saupreiß for good measure. Resi is not the sort of woman who holds back when angry so be aware.

In her native Bavarian accent, she uses slang a lot when speaking and speaks more like a "common person" than a member of the aristocracy how she speaks in English she sounds much more confident speaking in Bavarian/German than English.

The other languages. She is confident conversing in French and Italian but as for languages like Hungarian, Czech, Spanish, and Romanian she tends to be less confident and will often like English find it difficult to think of the right word or verb.

What they feel like

Resi feels quite warm, her hands are silky soft despite working with her hands a lot (she uses hand cream and body lotion religiously), and she feels smooth yet money in areas like elbows and knees. She has "extra meat" on her thighs and hips which are squashy and bouncy. She is hairless on her body so she is majority smooth and except for a few scars around her body her skin is moisturised and she gives off the overall vibe of approachable, warm, and light.

speaking of birthdays, its truly ridiculous my parents didn't think i was neurodivergent earlier in life because for my 10th birthday, they got me the full set of alvin and the chipmunks novelty glasses that were given away with meals at hardees in the late 1980s and i was so excited that i couldn't stop running around and jumping and crying and then when i tried to drink mountain dew out of one of them, i remembered how excited i was and lost the ability to swallow and just coughed up mountain dew across the entire kitchen

Capitol Hill's mystery soda machine was a Coke-themed vending machine in Capitol Hill, Seattle, Washington, United States that was in operation from at least the early 1990s until its disappearance in 2018. No one knows who stocked the machine.

A drink could be chosen using one of the "? mystery ?" buttons and the dispensed drinks were rare cans that were either ordinarily unavailable in the United States or had not been in circulation since the 1980s. Examples of the beverages were Mountain Dew White Out, raspberry-flavored Nestea Brisk, Hawaiian Punch, and Grape Fanta. It was rumored that Vanilla Coke, Black Cherry Frescas, and Sunkist Cherry Limeade were also available. The owner of the business closest to the machine, a locksmith, claimed to have no knowledge of who operated it.

Welcome to the Apocalypse

The LORD rules over the floodwaters. The LORD reigns as king forever. Psalm 29:10 (NLT)

This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Disaster! An unprecedented disaster—behold, it is coming! The end has come! The end has come! It has roused itself against you. Behold, it has come! Doom has come to you, O inhabitants of the land. The time has come; the day is near; there is panic on the mountains instead of shouts of joy. Very soon I will pour out My wrath upon you and vent My anger against you; I will judge you according to your ways and repay you for all your abominations. I will not look on you with pity, nor will I spare you, but I will punish you for your ways and for the abominations among you. Then you will know that it is I, the LORD, who strikes the blow.' Ezekiel 7:5-9 (BSB)

Because you neglected all my counsel, and wanted none of my correction, in turn I will mock your calamity; I will sneer when terror strikes you, when your dread comes like a storm, and your destruction like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish overwhelm you. Proverbs 1:26 (BSB)

The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people with fire. They were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory. Revelation 16:8-9 (ESV)

Therefore, on account of you the heavens have withheld their dew and the earth has withheld its crops. I have summoned a drought on the fields and on the mountains, on the grain, new wine, and oil, and on whatever the ground yields, on man and beast, and on all the labor of your hands. Haggai 1:10-11 (BSB)

Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God. Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you. Apocalypse 3:2-3 (NIV)

“And now, you priests, this warning is for you. If you do not listen, and if you do not resolve to honor my name,” says the LORD Almighty, “I will send a curse on you, and I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have already cursed them, because you have not resolved to honor me.“ Malachi 2:1-2 (NIV)

By now I could have lifted my hand and struck you and your people with a plague to wipe you off the face of the earth. Exodus 9:15 (NLT)

Pepsi's Nostalgic Journey with DC Comics: Green Arrow and Comic Con Arabia

In the mid-1980s, the world witnessed a unique and unforgettable collaboration that combined the love for carbonated beverages with the fascination for iconic superheroes. Pepsi Saudi Arabia teamed up with DC Comics, unleashing a wave of excitement among fans and collectors in Jeddah and beyond. These limited edition cans, featuring beloved DC superheroes, have left an indelible mark on the hearts of enthusiasts like me and continue to hold a special place in pop culture history

A Collector's Dream: Pepsi's DC Comics Cans

Pepsi's collaboration with DC Comics brought to life an extraordinary series of beverage cans. The entire lineup included Pepsi Cola, Mirinda, Mountain Dew, Teem, and Shani, each adorned with a DC superhero on its back. The idea behind this partnership was nothing short of genius, as it merged the joy of sipping a refreshing beverage with the thrill of holding a piece of superhero history

One can, in particular, became an instant favorite among collectors: Teem, a beverage that Pepsi had introduced to compete with 7-Up, featured the Green Arrow. The introduction of this emerald archer onto the soda can brought an unprecedented level of excitement to fans in Saudi Arabia. It was as if the Green Arrow himself had taken up residence in Jeddah, adding a touch of superhero magic to every Teem-drinking experience

Nostalgia on Display: Green Arrow and Stephen Amell

Fast forward to the present, and the emotional value of these Pepsi cans has only deepened. The news of Stephen Amell, the actor who portrayed Green Arrow in the widely acclaimed CW Arrow series, attending Comic Con Arabia in Jeddah, sent waves of excitement through the pop culture community. This announcement is a testament to the enduring love for superheroes in Saudi Arabia, where fans have cherished these collectible cans for decades.

I and fellow collectors can undoubtedly attest to the special place that Green Arrow holds in our hearts. The nostalgia tied to these cans goes beyond mere collectibles; they represent a piece of history, a tangible connection to the superhero universe that so many hold dear

Comic Con Arabia: Bridging the Past and Present

The upcoming Comic Con Arabia event promises to be a celebration of all things pop culture, where fans like me can relive our fondest memories and create new ones. The presence of Stephen Amell, the man behind the iconic Green Arrow, is a testament to the enduring power of these beloved characters and their influence on global culture

As collectors gather at Comic Con Arabia to celebrate the superheroes that have captured our imaginations, the vintage Pepsi DC Comics cans featuring Green Arrow will surely take center stage. They serve as a tangible reminder of the lasting impact that these characters have had on fans and collectors, not just in Jeddah but around the world

In conclusion, the collaboration between Pepsi Saudi Arabia and DC Comics in the mid-1980s remains a cherished chapter in pop culture history. The Green Arrow can, in particular, hold a special place in the hearts of collectors, and the announcement of Stephen Amell's presence at Comic Con Arabia in Jeddah only adds to the emotional value of these unique collectibles. As fans and collectors come together to celebrate their passion for superheroes, these cans will continue to serve as a bridge between the past and the present, reminding us all of the timeless magic of comic book legends

Game storyline research

Information from 30 of the Best Video Game Storylines - Howchoo

One cure for loneliness is the solitude of nature, or so Henry, the protagonist of Firewatch seems to believe. Setting off into the Wyoming wilderness, he is in search of the chance to rest his weary heart and figure himself out among the expansive and empty vistas of the great Wyoming mountain range. Only those vistas are not as empty as they first appear. There is a mystery at the core of Firewatch, a dark and paranoia-inducing exploration of fear and the consequences of our decisions.

The game’s poignant story is backed by gorgeous stylized visuals and a wonderful ambient audio track that really makes you feel immersed in the 1980's wilderness. You can almost feel the cool dew of the early morning on your face. There’s subtle humor, too, and the flow of dialog between Henry and his supervisor Delilah (heard over a walkie-talkie) brings an intimacy to the setting that really drives the energy of the game forward.

There’s more interaction here than with Gone Home, so while there are some walking simulator vibes at play, the way the narrative is driven through the dialog, the present sense of mystery, and the type of landscape being explored all conspire to create a game that feels far more immersive than others in this genre.

The storyline for the firewatch goes without a doubt one of the best.

I enjoyed reading a summary of the story, it was very engaging. following information is my favourite part of the story from Firewatch: Story Explanation and Analysis (press-start.com.au)

PART ONE: FIRSTLY, WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED?

Firewatch’s story wraps up quickly, with lots of little narrative pieces hidden in the brief instances of dialogue or in notes scattered throughout the game map. As a result, you might finish the game a little confused, as I initially did. Therefore, let me try to quickly summarise the basic plot as I understand it. Of course, this is my reading of the plot; yours may well differ, so don’t be afraid to share your thoughts in the ongoing discussion in the comments below. (UPDATE: Countless others already have.)

The game begins with an introduction to Henry, drunk in a bar, as he meets a college professor, Julia. (As you play as Henry throughout the game, I will use ‘you’ and ‘Henry’ interchangeably.)  The two start dating, fall in love, get a dog, talk about kids, struggle with their relationship and drink a lot. There’s a lot of drinking in this game — remember that, that’s important.

Anyhow, Julia develops early onset dementia and her memory starts failing. As Henry, you make the choice to put her in a care facility or to try and look after her yourself. Ultimately, the decision you make doesn’t matter (that’s kind of the point, again we’ll get back to it) but either way she ends up with her family back in Melbourne, Australia.

Unable to deal with the situation, Henry takes a job working as a fire lookout at the Two Forks lookout in the Shoshone National Park with supervisor Delilah, whom you talk to via radio.

Delilah has had it rough too. She kind of abandoned her boyfriend when his relative died and he rightly dumped her, but she blamed the whole thing on him. (Notice the theme of abandonment yet?) Julia’s troubled as well – the poor soul – and is somewhat of a regular at the Shoshone.

Progressing forward, you run into some mischievous teenage girls who later go missing. Naturally, you suspect this scary looking figure you ran into soon after seeing the girls, who eventually turns out to be Ned, but we’ll get back to him. He’s very important.

Say happy National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week three times fast

 April has sucked royally thus far, and I haven't felt very funny (as opposed to not being funny and thinking I am). So I'm celebrating National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week the way they used to do summer television: With a re-run.)

I've been taking 911 calls for so long that they were originally 91 calls. Well, it seems that way. It turns out National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week predates my full-time employment in the emergency services by ten years, and can we possibly shorten that name down a bit? By the time I finish saying the title, the week is over. I'm going to call it ... NPSTW. I know somebody who got their Bachelor Degree at NPSTW, although they've since married. Go Bulldogs! Anyway, I started with the Noble County EMS as a seventeen year old trainee in late 1979, and joined our volunteer fire department on my birthday in 1980. But it wasn't until December, 1991, that I took an actual paying job in that area, as a jail officer with the Noble County Sheriff Department. Within a few years I got tired of getting sick all the time. Seriously: Those inmates breathed so many germs on me, I thought I was in a sequel to The Andromeda Strain. So I went into dispatch, trading physical ailments for mental ones.

  Unknown to me, way back in 1981 Patricia Anderson, of the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office in California, came up with this idea to give tribute to, um, NPST, or as I'm going to call them, dispatchers. Yes, I know "dispatchers" doesn't tell the whole story, but my typing fingers are tired. I've been here--let me update--about 32 years, and dispatched for most of those. So long that when I started we had only one computer, to get information such as license plate and driver's license returns, using DOS. Get your grandparents to explain DOS to you. My wife points out that back then we received 911 calls by smoke signal, while carving notes onto stone tablets. I'm fairly sure she was kidding. I've been here so long I could retire. Full retirement pay! Sadly, I haven't figured out how to make up  for insurance and the difference in income, but I'm hoping my book sales will pick up. (Note: They have, but not enough.) Also, it would be tough learning to sleep through the night. Things really were easier back then, when it comes to learning the job. Our computer systems do make it easier to help people these days, but astronauts don't train as much as our rookies do. Spaceship vehicle pursuits are faster, though. The truth is, I'm not sure I could make it through training, if I started today. Instead of one small computer screen,  I'm looking at seven flat screen monitors, not including the security and weather screens. Our report was written (in pen) on a piece of paper about half the size of a standard sheet. Today we have a Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD), radio screen, phone screen, mapping screen, recorder screen, 911 texting screen, and a screen to keep track of everyone's duty status. We also have a screen to keep track of screens. Those are just the ones we use regularly.

I found this waiting for me when I got into work Monday. They get me.

  I'm pretty burned out at this point, and some of our calls can get rough. I have all the symptoms of PTSD; some of them include:

Experiencing a life-threatening event, like when the dispatch pop machine ran out of Mountain Dew; Flashbacks and nightmares, such as reliving the night we ran out of Mountain Dew; Avoidance, such as staying away from places that don't have ... well, you know. Depression or irritability, which I just now realized might be related to consuming too much caffeine; Chronic pain ... wow, that one hit me like a pulled back muscle. I checked off each and every box: avoidance, numbing, flashbacks, being on edge, overeating ... HEY! Who the HECK took my meatball sub out of the break room fridge! I'm HUNGRY! Where was I? Oh, yeah: Why the heck am I still here? Here's the thing. I've worked in retail; in factories; as a security guard and jail officer; as a radio DJ; I once made two bucks an hour growing worms for fishing lure. And for all the emotional turmoil, all the mental stress, all the physical ailments, all the days when I wanted to scream, and so desperately wanted to NOT go back into work the next shift ... Dispatching is still the best full time job I've ever had. Of course, I'm not a full time writer, yet. For that I'd only have to deal with one computer screen.

Wait, am I seriously the only male who works here? Anyway, thank you to the Town of Albion for the thank you.

I was watching a Wrestling With Wregret video about the worst Wrestlemania main events and this part really struck me:

Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns, Wrestlemania 34. Also known as the peak of WWE's legendary "you'll eat what we fix you" era! For a long period of time, it felt as if WWE was so flush with cash, that had nothing to do with how good their product actually was, that Vince McMahon was emboldened to do whatever the hell he wanted on TV, without a hint consequence. Finally his grand vision could unfurl, without pause or reservation, and especially none of that pesky fan input!

So, this guy's talking about the time Roman Reigns was being pushed as a babyface at all costs, basically 2014-2020. And 2018 is the year I gave up on WWE, so I guess I can't argue with Mania 34 as the peak of WWE's "fuck the fans" mentality. But it's silly to act like that "era" started with Roman.

It seems like ancient history now, but John Cena's run on top (2005-2014) was just as controversial as Roman's, if not more so. Before that, Triple H's "reign of terror" (2000-2005) was heavily criticized. So WWE was saying "you'll eat what we fix you" for a long time, even if you personally didn't have a problem with that until Roman came along. You may feel better about it since Roman's heel turn (2020) and Vince's retirement (2022), but you're still being fed shit like Logan Paul and Mountain Dew matches.

The last time WWE really had a financial motivation to worry about "pesky fan input" was before their IPO in 1999. During the Monday Night Wars fan satisfaction was crucial, of course. But before 1995 the company was comfortable trotting out dumb shit like Isaac Yankem and TL Hopper, because they'd cornered the market--WCW was weak and every other serious competitor had been driven out of business.

Aside from the Monday Night Wars, Vince McMahon hasn't needed his product to actually be good since 1984-1988, when the top US territories were at war over national expansion. Vince won that war because he went into debt outspending his competitors, and because his vision of sports entertainment captured the spirit of the times. But even then, he wasn't concerned with whether wrestling fans liked his product (a lot of them didn't), because he was trying to build a new, bigger audience that would replace them.

That's been Vince's MO all along--he does whatever dumb shit he likes, and if it pisses off a bunch of fans he just doubles down, because that's what worked with "rock & wrestling" in the 1980s. Sometimes that bet pays off and the net effect is a more popular product. Other times it backfires and the audience revolts, but Vince ignores them because he's sure some new wave of fans will come along to validate his decisions again. Either way, the "you'll eat what we fix you" era equates to "the entire career of Vince McMahon."
