Flyin' Brian

I love this place. Don't post much because of life and work but I love coming here and reading when I have some free time. I enjoyed the heck out of the 1983 project before my job got in the way of everything. I have definitely met some cool people and enjoy several things that have come out of this place including podcasts. All the best to all of you.

Still working here. Grocery stores will probably be the last thing to close, and I'm grocery store tech support so there you go. Should be an interesting night from the WWE PC with Stone Cold and company.

They do say the best gimmicks are being yourself turned up to 11.

I enjoyed the Bucks match. Pretty good opener. Ricky Morton is a crazy old man but I love it.

Anybody down in the Jacksonville area? Here for two weeks for work, watching the PPV at a bar/arcade downtown called the rec room. Britt and Bea was kind of sloppy. Brandi and Kong coming down afterwards was cool though.

Found this post on Dory Funk's website when I was looking for some info on the Amarillo Territory. Hope it's what you were looking for. http://www.dory-funk.com/amarillo.html

Heyman can pull it off I think. He would just have to turn his vocal skills on the right people. Everybody loves a good trash talker.

Yes please.

I'd love to see a Vince McMahon impersonator call the show, or maybe John Cena as Lance Catamaran from Southpaw Regional Wrestling.

Still not a fan of the name, but I like the team. Should be good. I'm almost always happy to see tag team wrestling get a spotlight.

Announced for tonight: Strowman vs Lashley Falls Count Anywhere match The New Day vs The Viking Raiders

Interesting. Wonder how long it will last or how much creative input they will actually have?

Downloaded this to check it out and I love the intro with the piano. That is epic.

I wonder if she isn't pregnant by the time Smackdown moves to Fox will WWE push for her to be there?

I'm a casual viewer/lapsed fan at this point, but I really didn't remember him being that bad. That's exactly what he sound like though.

Has Seth always been that bad of a promo?

Did Cole just call Lance Armstrong one of the greatest cyclists of all time? Did WWE just make a big deal about Lance Armstrong being on their tv? Am I in a time warp? Alternate reality?

Not a bad opener, even if the way they got there is kind of 'blah'. Drew McIntyre feels like he should be more than what he is. Always someone else's flunky or doing someone else's dirty work for some reason.

Somebody has to do it.

Catching up on these, listening to the McMahon buys WCW episode, I didn't realize that the first deal on the table with McMahon he would have taken over WCW with the timeslots still on TNT for Nitro and TBS for Thunder. Unfortunately he had an exclusive contract with TNN/Spike/Paramount Network/Whatever it's called now that any wrestling he produced had to be on their channel only. Sucks, because I think the Invasion would have turned out a whole lot better in that scenario. Has anyone ever done a book or other deep dive into everything that went on with WWE/WCW/ECW from 2000-2001? I know the end of WCW has been combed over many times, but the implosion of three major wrestling companies all with national tv deals and PPV into one has always been interesting to me.

I would love to see Vince and Shane McMahon vs Ali and 'Allah'. I'm sure that would go over great in Saudi Arabia.

Lot of wrestlers having Visa issues recently. Few in NXT and PAC having problems too. Wonder what’s up?

Nice. Are they buying the rights to anything or just pulling from what is out in the wild?

Guys, new channel on Roku Jarrett Parsons Wrestling has episodes of Memphis Wresting, ICW, Southwest, IWA, Continental, Portland, Vancouver, Atlantic Grand Prix, and more. Not sure if there is anything new there but definitely worth checking out.

Just found out about this. Glad to see the spiritual successor to WTBBP. Just downloaded the first show to start catching up.
