All Activity

Marlins Baseball. It's faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaantastic:

Another 6km jog/walk to the stairs and another 2,2lbs added to the vest. The stairs were super crowded, so I didn't stay for too long, though. It was certainly enough to make the leg day pretty challenging, though. A few sets of squats on the machine and a bunch of calf raises. Didn't go higher than 320, that was to enough to mess me up for the night and I'm still feeling it, in my quads mostly, not so much calves. Still was able to get some decent ab work in the end, in addition to a set of hanging knee and leg raises before and after the jog. The weight has gone down pretty quickly. If I was slightly above the usual weight I start the diet at, I sure as hell am at the standard level now. The lowest number I saw this week so far was 184, but I had skipped a meal at work and was probably dehydrated as well, so it was a bit of an outlier. Either way, no more worries about if I can make it work this time around? So, now there's a couple of extra days off, so I need to find ways to stay active, but also recover enough to go hard next week as well. Started yet another motivational playlist on Spotify and it seemed to work very well last night, but I need another half an hour of bangers to complete it.

Can see either: A retirement tease. A non sanctioned match as he's "not cleared but won't sue AEW." Anarchy in the Arena or Blood and Guts which is insane if he's not healthy/100%. He'll want to go all out and not half ass it.

The rumor is that it wasn't anyone in Kendrick's crew, but it was someone from The Weeknd's crew. http://youtu.be/VYMLSPUGfUY?si=uMp8E_d80Pn1ORqw

After NXT last night they announced that Alicia Taylor and Mike Rome are trading shows, with Taylor taking over as announcer for SD and affiliated shows and Rome heading to NXT and its shows.

Backlash has become a stand out for those reasons, you beat me to it, my friend. I'd say the biggest yearly PPV/PLE are: Royal Rumble. WrestleMania. Backlash. Money in the Bank. SummerSlam. Survivor Series.

the Daisy Monkey vs WAKANAAA/HIMAWARI match was really good. not quite as good as Crazy Star vs FWC, but pretty close.

Episode 9 spoiler.

there's a Sting/Ricky Steamboat vs Nasty Boys match from Saturday Night in 1993 that I saw a few months ago and really enjoyed as Ricky Steamboat in peril against the Nasty Boys worked really well that match isn't online, but there is a 20 minute YouTube for Flair/Sting/Steamboat vs Rick Rude/Nasty Boys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRGZd7RPG3Y

Six down

it's possible Wrestling 2 was in Continental at the same time that Freddie Miller was there rewatching this episode and in a way, it's kinda remarkable that Ole was popular enough to win a vote to dethrone Barnett Also pretty amazing that the legal battle went on for 4 months and people outside of this scene didn't know what was happening. Even people in the business. And Tommy Rich is looking good (better) these days

Oh my god I randomly googled Vader vs Steamboat and this random worldwide / power hour shit is incredible. Oh my goodness. Steamboat selling like he’s been shot, trying to fight off being choked by Harley Race like he’s actually being choked and desperately trying to fight back, accidentally knocking Vader down on a suicide dive and buying time by atomic dropping Harley over the top rope to the absolutely best sell ever of a bell clap to an actual sensical finish that really makes a ton of sense oh inject this into my veins

Wrestling 2 had a run in Continental after the WWF, if I remember right. And he still indies in the 90s, seem8ngly with or against the Bullet or Mr Olympia throughout Alabama and the Panhandle.

watching some WOW because i'm gonna rewatch at least some of the Black Saturday DSOTR and Pep Riley is a pretty amazing wordplay ring name

That's probably because late era Global exists in a vacuum where maybe 10 were left watching and then it unofficially became NWA Dallas under Crockett. Ironically, I think people might remember him in Crockett years and years earlier for like three weeks when he still at or just graduated from TCU. Doesn't exactly help that JCP was itself pretty much done then too. The consistent theme is not exactly impressing people at every stop, unfortunately. With that kayfabe last name, and it taking almost 10 years to get on the radar, probably not the greatest sign. Hell, I think Bruce was there for his first Global stint. I am surprised this many people still remember him. Hell, I rewatched the entire year of 1994 and don't recall his brief appearance at the Royal Rumble. If you told me he dressed like a door to door encyclopedia salesman, I would have no choice but to believe you. It created that much of an impression on me and apparently others.

Wes/Briggs was though I thought Briggs gave Wes just a pinch too much occasionally. Still pretty nice overall. Curious if they go the 4-way route after that ending. Shayna/Karmen was fine. Karmen is still missing something for me and feels out of place as a face. NQCC vs. Tyson/Tyriek was more of an angle than a match but enjoyable enough. Michin/Grace was fun as a showcase for Mia with Grace's usual antics. The M4/Trick segment started off as lame but graduated into something fun with Trick tricking Lash into accidentally revealing their relationship to the rest of MetaFour. Dar is not a guy I can take serious under most circumstances, but I kind of dug how pissed he looked by the end. Fallon/Kelani was solid with both women looking good. Fallon feels more at home as a heel, and I hope she gradual changes her setup as time goes on. Duke/Lexis was fine. Roxanne/Chelsea was surprisingly good. I figured it would be fun. The match played up to Chelsea's face status in NXT well enough, and I dug how Chelsea caught Roxanne off guard multiple times. Kind of dug how they presented the Combine throughout the night and the final choices were mostly good though I wish Arianna Grace made the cut. Reece and Parker are by far the worst of the field, but they will probably either not make it to the ladder match or have enough solid talent around them to cover for them by that point. Was so pleased to see Chelsea and Arianna interact. It was so perfect along with with Gigi's reaction of disgust. Solid with decent enough segments and a couple of worthwhile matches in Wes/Briggs & Roxanne/Chelsea.

Follow me, don't follow me... What happens when you lose a Best Friend™? You just go get a new one! Collar me, don't collar me! ...indeed.

For what it's worth, and it's Dave reporting this, so "not much"... Sammy Guevara is still suspended for his actions in the Jeff Hardy match in February. I fully expect him to show up on tomorrow's Dynamite as the new SVP of HR or something.

Mitchell Robinson has a stress fracture and is out 6-8 weeks (which would be deep into the Finals), so he's probably done for the year.
