Wasn't there that feud between Dusty/Dustin and Flair/Jarrett?

I dug Andre/Wepner way more than I thought I would as well. I kind of want someone to write a book about that match with the same premise as Ali/Inoki.

I came out of this with a worse opinion of Jim Cornette. I know Russo is an incompetent booker. But Cornette was openly advocating his desire to commit assault. C'mon now.

Given what I've heard and seen about Heenan's condition, this could be a good outlet for him. Hard to believe it's been almost 15 years since his original cancer diagnosis.

Snuka is apparently well enough to get booked for Wrestlecon. Which means he's either not as brain damaged as he wants people to believe, or he is exactly as dumb as he wants people to believe.

Vader is 61 years old. When Gorilla Monsoon fought him on Monday Night Raw, Monsoon was 58.

I guess the over/under is Ron Garvin.

I'm certain that's what they did. In fact, I was one of the people who was watching the game and tuned in to the PPV after I found out it was still going on. Thirded. I tuned into the NBA game after the ladder match. It was tied with 2:50 on the clock. Lindsey Adler on Twitter tweeted there had been 20 lead changes. It was apparent that it was a special championship game, and the main event would have been ruined by people distractingly checking their phones.

Hell of an ending but man, I hate how this is the Money In the Bank cash in every, single, time.

Maybe Chris Jericho wins money in the bank for Fathers Day? 🤔

Triple H said on the conference call that "The End" has multiple meanings that will be revealed during the event. Tommy End run-in during the main event to KO both wrestlers?The end.....of high prices!!!

Steamboat/Youngblood vs Slaughter/Kernodle is an easy top five pick for me. Onita/Hayabusa I watched recently, that match probably deserves consideration.

His fight vs Cleveland Williams in '66 is one of the all time dominant performances in boxing history.

Most WWE house shows I've attended clocked in at about 150 minutes with intermission. That seems ideal. At 180 minutes (3 hours) your attention begins to wane, and anything over four hours is intolerable if you're not a hardcore fan.

I felt worse watching Scott Irwin knowing it was essentially his swan song.

I'm a fairly trusting person. But sometimes I suspected that PY Chu Hi wasn't really from Japan.

I remember downplaying this years ago. I was completely wrong. If anything like this happened in today's environment of domestic violence awareness Snuka's career would have been finished and rightfully so.

I love my Roku stick. Easy to take from room to room, easy to access the online services I subscribe to.

The problem with Heenan is that he just couldn't handle the road anymore, especially with Flair. I think Slaughter as main event heel was actually an inspired choice. Adding in the Iraqi sympathizer stuff soured it though. I would've done away with some of the more heavy angles they ran, like Undertaker locking Warrior in the casket and Earthquake crushing Damien. And I wouldn't have the cajones to run the Savage/Roberts snake angle. But that all comes down to my own personal comfort level.

Unbelievably, Cagematch lists 44 matches for him in 1992. Sure, most of them were six-man tags where he would mostly just lean on the ropes the whole time, but even walking to and from the ring must have been pure hell. And that he had to fly to Japan or Mexico City to do it.

I feel like we need to poke at this a bit.I don't mind cartoonish mannerisms. But a move shouldn't require a wrestler laying prone for so long that you could've just pinned him in that time.

Jamming your thumb into someone's windpipe is a legit disabling move.

The 2/7/2000 episode of Raw ending in the ten man tag comes to mind, though I haven't seen it since the original airing. I think it would be a worthy suggestion to glance at whether subsequent tv suffered or thrived after a particularly hot show. What was the aftermath?

It only now occurred to me that Patterson lived through the HIV epidemic in New York City. I wish Patterson put out a book. I can't imagine many wrestlers who have more interesting stories to tell and I feel his knowledge has barely been scratched.

In a world where something like Storage Wars became a huge hit, I don't know if you actually need that much "name" talent to make a promotion work.
