A special commentary track for the Spoony/Linkara crossover review of Warrior #1.

Am I the only one to think Linkara has quite a sexy voice? :-P
This comic is AWFUL. It's trying so hard to be deep it means absolutly nothing. I love the review though, it's mad enough to keep up with the bat-shittery of the comic.

It's not continuity that he saw doctor insano with out his glass 'cause it's an alternate universe.

To quote Spoony himself: "There is no continuity. There is only Insaneo."

Am I just an idiot/missing something or does the video fail to load for anyone else. Adblock is turned off and other videos work, but this one always loads straight to either a non-existent ad or a replay video/related videos screen where I'm unable to play the video. It's rather frustrating, so any help would be appreciated.

Good video. Spoony's sharp narration along with Linkara's awesome behind-the-scenes commentary makes this a masterpiece, HOAK HOGAN

Richard Warrior

Man, Warrior is a fucking asshole, seriously. It's amazing how, as a young wrestling fan, you're expected to look up to guys like Hulk Hogan and Warrior, only to have them revealed to be dicks later on. I know people may hate on me for saying that about Hogan, but I implore you to look at videos and interviews with him after his son hit that kid. You may change your mind.

That was the most appropriate use of the "lemon curry" line in history.

Great commentary. Only critique is that the original soundtrack is a little too loud, it's almost like listening to 2 people talk at once. Otherwise, I hope to see more commentary tracks on the stuff you guys do. You are both really good at commentaries.

I am so glad that actually exists in MSG. Awesomeness. I can laugh mightily now. In fact... I think I'll rewatch that clip. :D

That documentary (?) that Linkara mentioned , Self Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior, can be found in youtube, here's link to the part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7_RgCG9AE4

The worst thing about this comic is that this really makes us wrestling fans look really bad...

Stevo

Yeah, the "I need scissors! 61!" part is from Metal Gear Solid 2. When Emma Emmerich's virus begins to affect the GW AI, the codec messages from the "Colonel" become more and more hilariously random. Preceding this brilliant gem, "Campbell" proceeds to tell Raiden that he was abducted by aliens, and he strongly suspects that Raiden's girlfriend is cheating on him (among others).

Very cool of you to do, Linkara. This was one of the best vids the TGWTG community had put out. The Ultimate Warrior was pretty much coked up out of his mind without needing to be on coke.

I think the audio track on the vid is too loud. I find it hard to focus, or "foke," on the commentary audio.

Stone Cold was in WCW, but obviously didnt become big intill heading to ECW, then Vince McMahon stole him from ECW and thats when Stone Cold was later born

i really liked this cross over and it was great to hear some more info on its creation from linkara. shame sponny an dlink could not have done the commentary togetehr bet it would have been hillarious.

Rylock

I JUST noticed Beary in Benzai's shirt, wow how did I miss that.

Always good to see a bit of the "behind the scenes" thought process for these videos, and its incredibly eclectic as expected. I really liked the sudden shifts between dimensions and I'm glad you guys didn't try to ease us into it, kept the video moving and made for some great humor.

Sai

Oh god Linkara. Say it ain't so. There are MORE Warrior comics!? *sob*

Still, great commentary vid, I always love listening to commentary tracks and hearing how things were done and planned. I also think the "bad acting" universe was the best one, I was laughing to tears when I first saw it.

Linkara

"I don’t expect Linkara to be a devote wrestling fan and it may have been a minor misinformed slip, but hearing him say Stone Cold Steve Austin was in WCW and that WCW was more extreme made me cringe XD"

Yeah, misinformed slip. My only information about this stuff came from watching "The Self-Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior" on youtube. XD

I love these commentaries...

That part where Linkara speaks about a work being so confusing that you have to ask someone else what's happening is actually why I have no affection whatsoever for Advent Children. Sure, it was pretty, but it made no sense whatsoever to someone who isn't really a hardcore fan. ... Don't kill me.

I enjoyed the commentary as well. Though I was surprised that it was only Linkara on the commentary track. I like hearing about things that go on behind the scenes of movies and shows. Now I can hear about webcasts. It is really good that you all have become such good friends and appear in each others videos. Hope to see more. I still can't believe they actually made WARRIOR into a comic book. What's next: WARRIOR the movie.*winces* (in narrator voice)"Can the WARRIOR discover his destiny? Can he find he long lost love? will the audience understand a word of his inane incoherent jabber-speak? Find out in summer 2010. WARRIOR the movie, Starring WARRIOR as WARRIOR! Believe This!"

I have thoroughly enjoyed this and all the other crossover projects. I hope to see more in the future. Being an illustrator myself, I cringed at the sight of the horribly drawn musculature of WARRIOR. The incoherent babble strewn about the entire work is a testament to the shear stupidity of WARRIOR. I loved the reality shifting during the review. It gave it a different look and feel that set it apart from other reviews. That type of playful spirit can open so many doors for possible future reality shifting. I would have liked seeing Linkara and Insano as sandwiches (but that may just be me) Keep up the AWESOME work guys!
