I think the "massage" has been well accepted about all those forces of nature characters.

In the early arcs Goku was a force of nature. And he was entertaining enough for this entire series to come into existence.

In the early arcs Goku was a force of nature. And he was entertaining enough for this entire series to come into existence.

Up until Mercenary Tao showed up, the number of opponents who gave him any challenge whatsoever could be counted on one hand.

Major Metallitron, Buyon, Nam, Master Roshi, General Blue.

See?

And out of those five, Roshi is the only one who truly beat him.

Though Blue came close multiple times; Goku never really figured out how to counter the latter's telekinesis. Every time he escaped was due to Blue losing his concentration.

Alright.

Namekmania with Jeice and Burter's match commentary, Recoome's pre-fight smash talk, and sponsored by Space XXXX?

or

#Cell Games with Satan's pre-fight smash talk and Jimmy Firecracker's commentary, and sponsored by HETAP?

Which has been funnier?

Gonna have to give to #Cell Games myself.

Namekmania was good, but that more or less ended once Recoome went down.

Meanwhile, Jimmy will probably keep going with his commentary even after he loses his mic, just like in the source material.

Oooooh, tricky.

I think #Cell Games was more laugh out loud funny but NAMEKMANIA was able to give a lot of character to the Ginyu Force when their regular members aren't usually all that memorable.

Namekmania. Cell had great trash talk, but that's just him personally.. The other true highlights for me in that were Hetap and the music used for the announcement (and the announcement itself).

Namekmania hit all the same notes, plus more, did many better, and came first.

#CellGames for me too, mostly because you can actually get the wrestling jokes without being a wrestling fan here.

Wait, we're including shorts?

Then definitely #Cell Games.

There's simply so much material there. For NAMEKAMANIA it was funny but it was also quite short.

On a different topic, do you think they're going to have an "Android Stomping Day" joke when Cell destroys 16?

Namek mania was funnier for me, mostly because it was short and to the point. I'm not familiar with wrestling but I was able to get the jokes.

The Cell Games stuff is too drawn out, and most of the shorts weren't very funny.

The joke for Namekmania was that Recoome was basically just "The Rock". His catchphrase was a nod to the old Ocean dub where he was voiced by David Kaye.

[up]Wrong.

Recoome (and Namekmania) took inspiration from several wrestlers and wrestling tropes, with Hulk Hogan being the biggest (hell, Goku landed to Hogan's theme music).

Does Hulk Hogan still not exist? Or does he exist again?

Pretty sure he still doesn't exist.

for those of you wondering, Hogan was revealed to have made some blatantly racist comments years ago, and WWE has pretty much Persona non grata'ed him because of it.

Hogan exists inasmuch as it's business efficient. Basically the only person who doesn't exist is Chris Benoit. Within the last several months, WWE has made several visual and verbal references to Hogan, CM Punk, and most recently, Impact Wrestling (a turnbuckle in video content relating to "Drake Maverick" Rockstar Spud).

With Hogan it wasn't just the Racism. WWE is unfortunately very okay with racism.

Wasn't the stuff with Hogan some sexual kink stuff that wasn't necessarily his idea? I don't know if that makes it better or not, but I remember something about that.

I think there was a sex tape where he slept with another man's wife or his wife slept with another man or something.
