  1. But to be fair if you know anything about the Ohio River that scenario is entirely plausible.

  6. My personal opinion is that I want more aliens (and mummies and time-travelers) if done well and not to excess, and less "I used to be a fan and now I am a wrestler!" or "hey, I watched lots of WoS and strong style tapes, see me fail to integrate the two styles" kickpad dudes but the world has passed me by... - RAF

  9. if you have seen EFFY's promo then are usually funny and some of the time gets peoples' attention. His last one promoting his Big Gay Ass Brunch got attention because apparently attention whores like Brad Shepard thought it was wrong to say that people who say homophobic or racist or xenophobic at the show are getting the shit beat out of him Here is his promo for a match against Faye Jackson. Possibly NSFW audio wise but funny as hell

  15. Ramble time: January 9th, 2009. My buddy and I had been off and on going to the local Minneapolis fed, F1rst Wrestling off and on for a few months. Around this time you’d see random CHIKARA guys or legends preforming or at least doing some type of appearance. The main guys at this point happened to be Arik Cannon (who still reps there and is now crazy over with the fans) and Horace The Psychopath( Horace was a bald lunatic with a white fan pant and would go from being violent to rocking back and forth). The two big matches of this show? Arik Cannon vs Jerry Lynn and Horace The Psychopath vs The Sandman. Arik Cannon and Jerry Lynn put on a really good match. Lots of sunset flips and loud chops. Feel good all around and my buddy and me high fived. Horace The Psychopath vs The Sandman was a match I will never forget. More memorable than when “Casanova” pulled his wiener out to his pal, during the heel pose down at the end of the show, thinking no one else would see. More memorable than Ariya Daivari insulting the troops and a guy flipping out in the audience to the point of Arik Cannon calming him down. Horace vs Sandman was THE moment of 2009 Minneapolis Indy wrestling. Horace The Psychopath’s music hits. He sprints the the ring. The ref is scared and hold onto the ropes. Horace goes to each side of the ring and uncontrollably rocks back and forth. Who’s next to the ring? 6% Body Fat Rob James comes out for some reason. He’s been teaming with Horace and they’ve been working the mean heel making the crazy guy think he’s his friend so crazy guy can beat up his enemies gimmick. Oh, and he’s doing that Simon Dean fitness instructor gimmick. He’s warning Horace that Sandman is craaaaazy and will hurt him. Don’t do the match. Horace is confused. Then other heel with hot heel girlfriend I forget the name of, that a show ago I thought was fighting Horace but now they’re cool because why not is also warning Horace that Sandman is Craaaaaaazy. Horace turns to the fans. Puts his hands to his ears. Rocks back and forth and does a fist punching motion. Everyone is pumped up for some pumped up pumping action. The crowd chants “Horace! Horace! Horace!” Rob James and other heel are warning him. Saying the F1rst faithful just want to see Horace get hurt. Sandman is just too craaaaazy. THE LIGHTS TURN OUT. OH UH. Dun dun ~dun~ DUN dun. Dun da dun dun dun. LIGHTS FLICKERING. Everyone is looking out. Could it be? No? It can’t. Yes, yes it is. Sandman is in the upper level with a beer and a kendo stick at the balcony. Everyone is going absolutely bananas. He drinks the beer, smashes it on his head. Dear lord, First Ave was loud as heck. Makes his way down the stairs and I high fives so many bros. He stands on a chair and pours another beer on himself. I’m givin High fives all around to the people next to me. Maybe a fist bump or two. Horace is announced. Sandman slides in the ring. Everyone is loud. Other bad guys now run away. Sandman is announced. Bell rings. Sandman is using his kendo stick. Horace loves pain. They go to the outside and Horace is now using chairs. Sandman is wobbling around. The once scared ref is simply sitting on the top turnbuckle. A new ref runs out to reason with the other ref to establish rules. He starts trying to count them out, the old ref turns around the new ref and yells “THIS IS EXTREME!” And punches him. He goes back to the top turnbuckle. Sandman and Horace are in the ring. Series of rest hold. Horace is down and Sandman is stumbling around. Very blown out and can barely stand. What was once very loud has slowly quieted down to mere murmurs. It became apparent to everyone that Sandman was extremely drunk. There might have been a chuckle or two but the majority of the audience, myself included, was silently melancholic. Sandman trying to pick Horace up and he falls backwards on his butt like a toddler. Horace helpfully places his head under Sandman’s arm to be put in a headlock. After a series of assisted headlock oriented takedowns, Sandman finds his kendo stick again and hits Horace. Falls on top of him for the pin. They lay there for a minute or so and everyone is avoiding eye contact. You can tell they are having a conversation ala Rock and Stone Cold after their last Wrestlemania match. So, everybody: What was the saddest/ most embarrassing/ highest level of awkward you’ve seen at a wrestling show?

  18. When Orange Cassidy get an action figure, the actual figure will be bare chested with an elbow pad. But the alternate will be in the double denim, with his hands in his pockets, with zero points of articulation. And everyone will want the alternate.

  20. After they retain the tag titles... Page: You know we never came up with a name for our team. Omega: I got one. Page: What’s that? Omega: The Exalted One. *Everybody gasp, including Page* Page: It should actually be The Exalted Ones. *Everybody gasp again, and then the lights go out. Lights back on, and we see the Dark Order along with Page & Omega side-by-side doing the Dark Order pose. They then gang up on the Bucks.* Ross: My GAWD, I’m absolutely sick to my stomach right now! They fooled us boys. Schiavone: This is the worst day in the history of our sports. Excalibur: Now Omega picks up Matt Jackson. Wait what’s he saying to him. OH NO, Falcon Arrow on the apron? Nobody kicks out of the Falcon Arrow. Ross: And right on the hardest part of the ring.

  27. So, uh, the problem with my PS4 was that I stuck the disc in the PS3 (one shelf down, right below the PS4) by mistake. The PS4 console didn't detect the disc because.... there was not disc in the F***ing machine. I am dumb. Seriously, seriously dumb. Fortunately, the console seems no worse for wear even after I poked around with it last night. Still kinda thinking I'll buy a Pro when I get paid mid-week. Or at least start watching sales. We're starting to see some games that run well on a Pro and really poorly on a standard slim (Control). I'll be really surprised if Ghost of Tsushima runs well on the vanilla console. Planned to pick up a Pro before TLOU 2 and Ghost hit shelves anyway. As many 7th and 8th generation games as I still have to play, I'm kinda wanting wait awhile before I pick up a next gen system. We'll see.

  35. Weren't there reports that they'd intentionally tried to make the Raw after Mania less of an event, and more like a standard weekly show, to reeducate fans not to go all boisterous and Bizarro Land on them? There was a while there where it was like a yearly apology for the seven hours of lowest common denominator bullshit and heavily telegraphed Moments they were serving up the night before, but the last couple have been non events in comparison. Sure, the beachball dickheads and the misogynous chants can fuck off forever, but the overall vibe of 'tonight we're going to do the cool shit you wish we did the rest of the year', complete with big debuts, returns, exciting vignettes and maybe a title change or two, was something to look forward to. If they've decided to move away from that on purpose, it serves them right that they're selling fewer tickets.

  36. Jim Cornette has a decent podcast following. He isn't a power player in pro wrestling. If you're not listening to what he says, he has no influence at all over you. Matter of fact, it's hard to find a time that he was that influential. He couldn't even stop the WWE from fucking up his storylines in OVW. So I don't know what you mean by every single when Cornette himself is not a role player. Cornette is one of the guys who exists on the periphery. He's not completely irrelevant due to his talent and his knowledge of pro wrestling, but you could never see him creating something from his own philosophy which his entire shtick is based off of. He tried with SMW, and it only went so far. And that was when he was in his early thirties and actually knew who was who. I mean I heard him try to seriously answer who he would start a promotion with (or more specifically who AEW should sign pre Dynamite), and it was like he was playing daily fantasy with WWE talent. Like dude...you realize it's not 1996-1999 when you were there and people are signed to deals that go multiple years. You're not getting any of those people. And he's the same guy touting that AEW management was being irresponsible with Tony Khan's money. If a guy isn't even trying to deal in simple logic and selective in what he believes as a way forward to "rebuild" pro wrestling, he could never be a position to "limit" you from doing anything. No one is going to put him in a serious creative capacity especially now. Even if he was, he's just going to be disregarded and eventually replaced anyway. You're going to explain that one because money is not a person.

  37. It's the one thing that Dave does that annoys the hell out of me. The perfect example is how he always shits on Yano in the G1 when he should be smart enough to understand that he is there because he has entertaining matches while working a very safe style and giving the WORKRATE~! guys an easy night instead of the usual killing themselves with high risk/stiff matches.
