robocop is the coolest looking person. ever. he’s metal, he’s got one of those visor-things for eyes, he keep a gun *inside* his leg. the only drawback to his coolness is that he comes from an incredibly violent r-rated movie, that my parents would not let me watch. “he shoots a man in the private parts!”

until i figured out how to watch hbo quietly, my only gilmpses of robocop came from commercials, toys, and this event: wcw capital combat ‘90.

when fan-favorite pro wrestler, sting (who i thought was in “dune” for a long time) was constantly being outnumbered by noted rule-breakers, the four horsemen, he decided to even the scales and bring in robocop, as his tag team partner.

as the horsemen trembled in fear, while robocop awkwardly menacingly walked to the ring, i was filled with an odd sense of disappointment. i finally got to see robocop in all his glory, but all he did was bend some bars. why didn’t he just pull out one of his many guns, and shoot the bad guys?

isn’t that how robocop solves all his problems? suddenly, a body slam looked like a pussy’s way of getting out of a fight.
