Finally got to watch the 1985 Great American Bash! I really like no announcers, its great to hear the crowd reactions and the banter between the refs and the boys. Face Ron Bass is fun. Sonny Fargo is a bad ref. The ring announcer stinks but is kind of silly so I like him. Why wasn't the ring at the 50 yard line? It looked so weird being at like the 40. Jimmy Valiant & Paul Jones was better than I thought it'd be. Magnum was over enough in the summer of 1985 to be World Champion and bounce between slaying monsters like Kamala and defeating jagoff heels like Tully. Dusty's ego couldn't pull the trigger so he made him Robin to his Batman and Jim Crockett was too much a simpleton to see he had the perfect face to be his "Hogan". The sportscaster carrying the rubber chicken who came out with Flair, totally seems like he was a major prick when the camera was off at the tv station, like throwing coffee cups at interns level prick. Before the match David Crockett is dressed like the teacher you'd see at the mall or a restaurant who'd have a long conversation with your parents. After the match he looks like the uncle of the groom who had way too much fun at the bachelor party. Flair and Nikita was really good until the cluster F at the end. The post match beatdown was unnecessary, let Flair walk out the victor and continue the angle at the next tv taping. How can there be a title change in an unsanctioned match? Dusty & Tully was hot enough that the "lights out" stipulation wasn't needed. Tully as the norm is great in these situations. All the faces dragging a crying Baby Doll away is a really bad look.

I think Spider-Man: Blue is Tim Sale's best work. This is coming from someone who has always had Batman as the greatest superhero ever and Spider-Man second.

Thought of you straight away, mate knowing your X-Men: Age of Apocalypse love.

I really don't want Jon Moxley AEW World Championship reign of terror to continue but I am imagining the epic rants that will come of it.

Umm...I always thought the difference between a camel toe and a moose knuckle was the Canadian border. Seriously, I used to date a woman from Canada, and I was legitimately confused when she said some woman at a restaurant had a moose knuckle. I asked what she meant, and she said, "you know when a woman's pants are so tight, you can see a print." I couldn't have been more delighted when I learned that a Canadian camel toe was called a moose knuckle. Then while we were talking about random Canadian shit, I had to ask, "what do you call Canadian bacon?" In an answer that couldn't have been less delightful, she said, "ham, we call it ham."

I’m am pleased. Alert the media! I heard somewhere… there are roughly another 2500 to 2700 tickets left unless they open another section. Things are looking good.

Orioles have traded Bryan Baker to the Rays for a 2025 Competitive Balance (Round A) draft pick, #37 overall

How I would do it... would be to announce a Women's Casino Gauntlet with very short notice, probably by contriving an injury or something. Or doing an angle. "X was the #1 contender but Y heel took her out on Collision and now we need to run this on Dynamite." and pull the bandaid off very quickly by having said heel dominate and crush someone almost immediately (maybe #3). It has to be someone the crowd feels deserves it, like a Stat, and even then you threaten to put the heat on the company for not giving the women what they deserve instead of the heel but ehh. I think he'd do that.

I am in agreement of that's how the men's gauntlet should happen (and in turn, the women's should reach maximum capacity and end with a real shocker of a win).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAOE_DYMRD4 Player's Tribune Documentary about the Briscoe Brothers. just over 30 minutes. MUST WATCH.

Exactly. 1 and 2 are the preferred spots because they’re (in kayfabe) the only spots actually guaranteed to participate in the match. MJF KO’ing Briscoe with his diamond ring for the win just as #3 Mistico is coming to the ring would be awesome. Puts the heat on the heel for ruining an anticipated match and feeds the MJF/Mistico feud. It won’t happen, for the reason @Matt D mentioned, but I feel like they really do need to end a Casino Gauntlet really early at least once to make the stip believable.

It has its issues but i do like that they made a big deal out of Roderick Strong being the next guy that was supposed to make it out before it ended and him throwing a fit due to that because that at least creates some grounding for it. I imagine ideally you'd want to be #5 or 6. Someday, Tony should have it end before #4 even comes out but he never will because he would hate to false advertise something like that.

As the absolute whitest white meat babyface, Christian’s nickname was “all heart.” I’ll always remember Matt (former WWE writer) on the We Watch Wrestling pod struggling to remember his nickname and his best guess was “Fights Well from Underneath” Blake Christian.

I'd assume 21 is the limit but we've never got that many people in the match.

The Casino Gauntlet doesn't have a 'last entrant' it theoretically could go on until they run out of wrestlers in the back. Having the 1st or 2nd pick is supposed to be an advantage because you have a chance to end the match before there are a million wrestlers in there and it's pure chaos. I will stop before I get on my "The Casino Gauntlet is an inherently bad match" rant.

Honestly, that part made me think of Age of Ultron (the comic event, not the movie) but it's obviously not as well-remembered (in either sense of the phrase) as SoS.

So the matches surrounding placement in the Casino Gauntlet match were for being the first entrant. Wouldn't this put you at a disadvantage by having to go through everyone else in the match? I get furthering the angle between Briscoe and MJF, but it doesn't make sense otherwise. Wouldn't it make more sense for the winner to be the last entrant?

But god why does it have to be on the nazi bot site?
