I've written a short obit on Eddie Hamill's career: https://substack.com/home/post/p-168471409 RIP.

I loved this, simple and effective and really showed the most vicious side to Toyota I may have seen. Loss said earlier in the thread the facials at the end by Toyota where top notch and I tend to agree. I didn't mind the time out for the re-wrap of the arm on the outside; it added to the drama.

Yup.

Yes, but mainly for international tapings. An example of them on together can be seen during the WWF All American Wrestling – January 22nd, 1989 Brother Love show segment

Good ballot IMO. Is this a hypothetical ballot or a real ballot out of interest?

Excellent show, really good to hear to knowledgeable guys without any agenda.

Ethan, I applaud you for this write up and the way you're looking at Daddy's candidacy vs. the others on the ballot in the region. Big Daddy's matches were designed around his limitations. The same be said for Lesnar, Goldberg, and so many others.

The ballot got updated as Dave made a few mistakes and omissions.

A very enjoyable show overall. Two thumbs up.

Conrad has absolutely improved, he's very much learnt on the job.

RIP Kid Zombie. He helped get footage for so many of us over the years.

Seems like topics for Letters From Kayfabe.

Agreed, both teams benefited from the series.

Dax keeps getting better and better. If he keeps injury free, I can only find the case for him to keep building to be a no-brainer pick for inclusion in my top 25.

A hugely enjoyable show, wasn't initially going to watch, but after announcing FTR vs. Briscoes III I was compelled to watch. And what a match it was! Reading through the comments, I appreciate it wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but for me, it was the perfect ending to the trilogy, and FTR weren't hurt at all with the loss, and losing the titles.

The card: Jon Moxley (c) vs. MJF for the AEW Worlds championship Chris Jericho (c) vs. Bryan Danielson vs. Claudio Castagnoli vs. Sammy Guevara for the ROH Worlds title Toni Storm (c) vs. Jamie Hayter for the AEW interim Women’s championship The Acclaimed (c) vs. Swerve in our Glory for the AEW Tag titles Death Triangle (c) vs. The Elite for the Trios championship Wardlow (c) vs. Samoa Joe vs. Powerhouse Hobbs for the TNT title Jade Cargill (c) vs. Nyla Rose for the TBS championship Saraya vs. Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D Jungle Boy vs. Luchasaurus in a Steel Cage match Sting & Darby Allin vs. Jeff Jarrett & Jay Lethal Jun Akiyama vs. Eddie Kingston (pre-show) Ricky Starks vs. Brian Cage in the World title eliminator tournament (pre-show) The Best Friends vs. The Factory (pre-show)

Like Chad said earlier, you can't watch all the footage. Just enjoy the process.

BBC Newsnight went stateside to take a look at the WWF. Vince McMahon reckons it's wholesome family entertainment while a New York Senate counters it's everything that is dirty and underhanded. 300438644_1121206805459615_3152966059789645015_n.mp4
