New to the Tank, so bear with me. I have been reading posts on here for years and am really happy to finally be a part of it.
I thought for my first post I'd ask a question that I have been thinking about for about a year now... I have noticed various things that (somewhat) apply to GI joe in other forms of media. I watched the movie "Dodgeballl" for the thousandth time and noticed that in the championship game, Average Joes Gym takes on the Globogym (I believe was the name) Cobras and they are referred to during that match as "Joes" taking on "Cobras". Coincidence? Also, during various WWE PPVs this year and last, The Rock, Roadblock from GI Joe Retaliation, has taken on CM Punk, who boldy displays a Cobtra symbol tattooed on his shoulder. Given that wrestling and GI Joe have teamed up in the past (Sgt. Slaughter and Roddy Piper), I thought this was kind of cool. Anyone else notice things like this from time to time or do I just need to get a life outside of Joe collecting and work?! |

CM Punk is actually a big G.I. Joe Fan as well. But welcome to the Tank'
Also in Karate Kid ., Daniel did take on the Cobra Kai'.. so it was like Karate "quick kick" Kid..vs the Cobra Kai.. No? yes?

Welcome in.
I haven't noticed any of that yet, but I do know that Paramount has a deal going with the WWE to help promote Retaliation. What you've described sounds like a great start.

I hadn't thought about the Karate Kid thing. I can see that though. I was thinking I was alone picking this stuff apart.
Thanks for the welcome as well guys. |

I just noticed on when creatures attacks a "Cobra" Bites a guy named "Joe" who lives in "Fort Wadswoth" where they recently had a "Roadblock" because "Muskrats" kept running thru the "Toll Booth"
Coincidence ??? Hmmmm

An episode of NCIS had a ton of Joe references too.

Just watched part of Reds 2 today (working most of the time my stepdaughter was watching, so only caught bits and pieces), but noticed that the actor who plays Storm Shadow was hunting down Bruce Willis' character (forgive me for not knowing names)... Storm Shadow hunting down Joe Colton. lol
