  1. And, at least in my circles, the Bret Hart story from 96-97 is in no way overlooked or forgotten. It's considered some of the best storytelling the WWF ever pulled off. Shit, Montreal accidentally made it even better.
  2. Speaking as a Coloradan, this is the only thing about that fucking idiot that has made me smile. If she truly is a result of Sweet Stan doing some cousin fuckin' it'd explain so much. I pray it's true.
  3. Ha, me too. But "twinkletoes" also feels like something Mr. Roper would call Jack on Three's Company right after saying he was " light in the loafers." And then he'd break the fourth wall.
  4. Same here, plus Maher is also an Islamaphobe and a mysoginist. I still watch Real Time on occasion, but not like I used to.
  5. I just threw in 205 Live and it's the women's Dusty Tag Tourney. And it's fun!
  6. Alexa is great as this character, even though the whole thing is awful. She's good enough to survive this whenever it's done. And it'll be done when live crowds come back.
  7. I think it's hilarious that everyone, myself included, had no idea who Bad Bunny was and he's fucking huge. We've been making fun of them being out of touch forever and when they get an actual relevant act it's all " Who's this clown?" We're the out of touch ones.
  8. That was one of his last matches before leaving. They also put him in the ring with Brian Blair and Tito , as Vince Jr. was trying to force a heel turn.
  9. There are a lot of "talking points" about Bob's reign that don't hold water once you've actually watched the footage. Kelly, Pete, Parv, and myself saw a ton of it when we were doing the Titans podcast. For instance, the whole "Bob wasn't popular in Philly" deal is patently false. Maybe at the tail end circa late 82-83, but the Philly crowds we saw were electric for Bobby Backlund.
  10. The only time I know of where Bob was "paranoid" was before the Flair NWA vs WWF champ match in Atlanta, and there were some indicators before the match that something screwy was going on. After a phone call to Vince Sr. who then called Barnett and Crockett, things settled down leading to Flair coming up to Bob and saying, half jokingly "Don't hurt me , Bob."
  11. The 86 shows on Tony's podcast have been so much fun. They're watch alongs that you don't have to watch along with, and they're full of joy. It doesn't hurt that it's the era of JCP that was the height of my teenage fandom.
  12. Yeah man. Billy Batson had a sidekick called Steamboat who was straight out of Amos And Andy. https://www.cbr.com/dark-secrets-captain-marvel-shazam/
  13. Would DC have to license the Fawcett stuff? They used to reprint a ton of it in the Seventies.
  14. Yeah. It was awesome live, but I was sandwiched between two giant smelly dudes.
  15. I've been to a lot of great ROH shows from back in 2005-2006, but I'm going to go with being third row for Starrcade 86 in Greensboro and the Rock n Roll Express vs The Andersons in the cage.
  16. So, if McBrodie is supposed to be Vince, I'm thinking the obvious way to go is a slow push of John Silver into being a babyface who McLee tries to " hold down" because he's tiny, but getting over?
  17. Carmella isn't the greatest but she's fine. Does she have some Nia Jax rep I don't know about?
  18. I'm still trying to figure out why I know Benson. He was a "friend" on Facebook but I cant remember why or when that happened.
  19. Isn't Rikidozan vs Freddie Blassie more important?
  20. I love that Eddie wore Misawa gear, fought like Kawada, and his favorite wrestler is Kobashi.
  21. I would have shortened the Hardy deal by ten minutes and put Jericho/ MJF on Dynamite, but that's just middling complaints. That was a great show.
  22. I'm all for using real music, but Poison? Yuck. Hey, Sweeney!
  23. Well, it's a great day for a PPV! We gonna party tonight Philadelphia style!
  24. The undercard of this show looks like a lot of fun, but I had no idea what the undercard was when I bought this yesterday. Eddie Kingston got my 40 bucks.
  25. That Kingston promo I saw on Twitter sold me. I'm gonna actually pay that much for a PPV in the era of no crowds. Eddie Kingston is money.
