Hoodslam WRESTLER WRESTLER Full show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqxmPJqUeXQ

1992 WWF Wrestling Challenge! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRhwcPaojGI Squash wins for the Natural Disasters, Sgt. Slaughter, Shawn Michaels, Tatanka, Crush, Ric Flair We take another look at Nailz beating down the Big Boss Man last week. Papa Shango makes a guy ooze black slime. Lots of WBF plugs. Lex Luger is called "The Total Package" on WWF TV which I'm pretty sure they never did once he started wrestling for them.

Apparently he's been training for a while as an agent/producer. But come on. Ankle injury with necrosis? Kerry Von Erich ain't need no foot!

Not to nitpick but the Purrazzo/Frost finish was ridiculous. A gymnast should know about 8 ways to quickly get of of the Tree of Woe. Now I'm remembering that Excalibur used to call it the Tree of Joey Lawrence.

When I went to the movies damn near every week(pre-COVID) I always turned my phone off.

That's a good point, and something my falling-asleep-with-my-face-on-the-phone ass didn't really register. I really haven't missed them because the show had been overstuffed, but it really has felt like there was a male heel deficit now that you mention it.

Has she actually been cast as The Thing, as the image implies? That would be pretty cool.

Jimmy Carter's grandson told the media that the former President is "nearing the end of his days."

My understanding is that it is indeed real. Necrosis in his bones or some shit, it's legit.

Probably a good time to reintroduce Gallus as things are feeling a bit depleted post-draft.

Can anyone here verify whether or not Chuck Taylor's in-ring career is shoot-over? I'll feel bad if it is; I always liked him and he's my Fight Forever world champion.

Did you see Collision....

Poor Hickman, he gets stuck writing all these big books when really all he wants to do is write a Sam and 'Berto buddy book.

Started the week by putting the weight vest on and walking to the city centre to pick up my bike and then rode it home before leaving for work and gym a bit later. Monday was a bunch of standing double bicep curls with moderate and lighter weights a bunch of side delt work and 3 sets of dumbell chest flies lying on the floor. Bunch of ab work as well. Tuesday I went for a walk/jog and added another 2,2lbs to the vest. The whole thing was more than an hour, the stairs took about half of that. I also jogged up the big (and a smaller) hill on my way there and back. Going back home, there was more walking than jogging. 3 sets of hanging knee and leg raises as well. Didn't feel like taking the weights off the vest, so I let it dry out a bit and put it back on for the ride to work. Didn't feel much harder, so I might as well do that. Gym was plenty of resistance band lat pull downs, 3 sets of 10 of Scott bench bicep curls with a 53, 57 and 61,5. Only put the wrist wraps on for the heaviest set. After each set I took the weight back to the rack and did 20, 25 and 30 reps of two handed behind the neck skullcrushers. Decent ab work at the end. This morning I felt pretty beat, but went for another walk nonetheless. I did jog here and there but definitely more walking than previously. I did go to the stairs (same weights in the vest as yesterday, so 20ish lbs). My right ankle or calf started to bother me pretty quickly, so this was mostly walking up and down. Gave it a massage at home and it felt fine after that. Once again, 3 sets of hanging knee and leg raises. Vest stayed on for the bike ride. Stopped to get a new batch of whey protein to work. At the gym I was apprehensive of doing legs, so I did the dumbell shrug drop-sets again. I did 4 sets going from 88's to 66's with Versas on the whole time. I only started to count the reps when I was starting to get ready move on to the smaller dumbells. Usually 10-30 reps still, before actually changing. I did a set of resistance band face-pulls between each drop-set. Overall, hundreds of shrugs, I guess? *shrug* Shorter ab work and some stretching moves with the resistance band at the end. I really don't know about tomorrow, yet!

In yesterday's full body workout, I did pulldowns, pyramid style (5 up, 4 down), using a close grip pronate handle. My lats are killing me today. Niiiiiiiice.

I didn't see anything about that, but that was the assumption I made too - it's kind of the same school of thought as the 8 hour Dark tapings during the pandemic adding value to the company by padding the hours of archival content. I'd even wager theres a chance the ROH purchase may have been made with a similar thought in mind re: that tape library. It's one thing to simply stream PPVs on Max or anywhere else, but I think the real money in the deal is going to be in the licensing fees for the archive/'AEW Network,' if you will. ETA: Honestly, at this point, it simply seems to be a game of whether or not the bubble has been timed right

One post I read speculated that TK adding PPVs was designed to show more value to WBD, which makes some sense.

I really think that this is the absolutely best booking decision they could make. Especially if you turn Stokely at DoN. Shit, as much as I wouldn't want it, turn Stat AND Stoke and have Stat be Mone's muscle. EDIT: No, I take that back. My heart can't handle Stat turning so soon after the implosion of the best Friends. I'm sorry for putting that out there into the universe. Mone/Kamille or Bayne v Stat/Willow sounds better.

What a wild game between Canada and Austria yesterday, 7-6 OT for Canada after Canada was up 6-1 after two periods.

The Blackhawks remain, by a country mile, the worst organization in the league. Congratulations. https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/native-american-woman-cultural-advisor-blackhawks-sues-team/

I mean it certainly seemed to be the case when they were down by 40 in the game before. But to your point they looked fresher and and more in control. As much as people, like myself, talk about Thibs Minutes, folks should also remember he's been building a team for this. He's assembled a group of grinders who are willing to play these minutes and not complain. I actually love Thibs as a coach, but I also recognize his approach isn't for every player and it can bite him in the ass. I think Stan Van Gundy, who alternated between obnoxious and wise last night, made some great points about the team make up and how special they are. It's very much like that Jimmy Buttler Heat team that went to the finals. They've got that kind of endurance to weather storms and will their way into games. Which I'm sure, as a Boston fan, you're very excited to hear. Meanwhile... Minny lost game 3, and it was like "okay, they expected this to be tough." They lost game 4 and it was like "okay that sucks but we're playing the champs." After Game 5 I don't know if they know what the fuck to do now. They just look incapable of stopping this train, and I don't see an adjustment they can make other than, "make more tough shots." And my god some of those shots that Jokic put up over KAT and Gobert. The refs didn't make that ball go in. That was fucking wizardry.

I actually really like this idea as a happy medium between the WWE/NBC setup, and the traditional $50 PPV model - this might be a nice plan B for AEW to continue being able to get at least a small chunk of PPV revenue if they can't get WBD to bite on subsidizing those lost buys by massively overspending like NBC did (which, based on what we've learned about Zaslav's mindset re: the NBA, seems unlikely)
