  1. The costume choices are fascinating. Charlotte wearing a wooden crown because she's a pirate queen? Roman looking like the video game character no one picks. Becky looking like she's about to massively fuck up her audition for Vikings. ...And Cena's still Boston white-trash. lol

  4. I prefer all the episodes I am on. I hope I am not spilling any beans. But my brother’s biggest dream guest for his show was Roddy Piper. It was actually close to happening and they talked a few times on the phone before Hot Rod passed away. We were Piper fanatics as kids. Not sure if it will come up in the thing about New Jack, but Chris and I went to see ECW in Asbury Park in 1997 or so. Chris actually managed to get part of a table Jack dove through from the mezzanine. I have it beat though because the same show I was in the bathroom. I heard the unmistakable voice of Referee Bill Alfonso say “it’s clear, no one is here” and RVD walked to the stall next to me, pulled up the right leg of his singlet, turned to the side and peed. As far as the Benoit documentary goes — I really think it is award worthy. There were so many parts I never considered, like how Vikki and Nancy had a very close friendship. I also think the producers did a very good job at showing that Woman was really talented herself and more than just a murder victim. They are completely right, too. Just in ECW alone she had such a big impact. Everyone remembers the Shane NWA belt thing. But the first really big ECW angle I remember hearing about was when Tommy accidentally swung a cane and it clicked Sandman’s cigarette into his eye and he was blind. Nancy did such an awesome job and people at the time legit thought it was a shoot. She also got Dreamer over huge. Dreamer in those early days of ECW was just some chubby snooze. The whole angle with The Sandman got him over, especially when he had to take a bunch of cane shots and Woman tormented him the entire time. That really put Dreamer over as “extreme” and was the angle that made his career. I also don’t know how over Sandman would have been without her as a second. His act was so unique he could have been fine but she really added a lot to it. I also was such a huge mark for Doom. Their debut match at some random Clash is one of the best ring intros ever. If memory is correct, there is some sort of giant skull background and a lot of dry ice and “Her Strut” by ZZ Top and a lot of bad attitude all around. She was really really talented.

  11. The number one thing the NFLPA should have been fighting for is that they couldn't arbitrarily be blackballed for taking a political stand. Reid's about to be gone, mostly for standing up for himself and speaking out against things he finds unjust.

  19. Over/Under 1 total snap for the rest of Eric Reid's career. I'm going with under, and if they could subtract games from his career they would. With that said, the players association should make him the president, because he seems to be the only one paying attention.

  20. He is a huge fan. He had both Sami Zayn and X-PAC on separate episodes on his old show. The X-PAC episode also had Jon Hamm in a sumo wrestling suit. Chris and Colt Cabana are also really good friends and have done a lot of work together over the years. We actually went on vacation together last winter to go to a NXT Taping.

  21. I love the Trump Plaza Manias and WrestleMania VI-VIII. I feel they are among the easiest to watch. Yes, there's a lot of random ass matches but there's some gems in there and the commentary is A+

  23. Next week is a self-pick week (Something you've been meaning to watch for a while or know you ought to watch but just haven't gotten around to it) and you're more than welcome to join in there. After that, if everyone's still up for it, we'll continue the following week and you can jump on. That'll solve Curt's Pac-Man issues. And heck, if you want to do something this week, this is always a good choice.

  24. Okay, pump the brakes: Ratings are as important as they have ever been, that is to say, not at all. However, it's clear Vince makes a number of decisions based on those numbers. If Vince decides to shut down and send everyone home because these horrible shows aren't performing to expectations, then that's a good thing and also a big news story in the wrestling world. And y'all? We need distractions right now. For basically everyone on this board, wrestling is the best possible distraction. Let us talk about it. Of course it's not important when compared to a global pandemic. If you want to see us lose our collective shit about that, that thread is in the Land of Confusion sub. It's the one named after that catchy asshole of a song. Thanks a lot for that one, by the way, @Dolfan in NYC...

  27. https://www.njpw1972.com/73644 Pretty interesting news coming out of NJPW - sounds like they're finally opening a true U.S./global online store. I don't want to hate on PWT or start any nonsense (I know opinions about their business vary...), but it seemed like their support for NJPW has started to erode somewhat after AEW became a thing. As far as expansion goes (another can of worms), this move is also probably overdue. Personally, I'm just excited to finally be able to get my hands on a wider variety of stuff direct from the source, without having to go through an intermediary for shipping.

  31. Brother, all I do is work out here. I’m in the shit with filthy tourist, and stupid old people that decide they need to venture out, and buy groceries. I’m not posting STARDOM pictures, or working at home. I leave my job with gashes on my hand, and possibly mold in my lungs. I sure post here, but it’s never on a PC.

  32. The fact that they aren’t revealing the real card for a pre-taped(Not live, pre fucking taped) pay-per-view yet, might be the scummiest thing I’ve ever seen for an advertised paid event. ...And we don’t know yet, if this is on the Network.

  33. Mark Lewin and Johnny Valentine are the first guys that I think of when someone says "Wrestling god!" That Lewin was (according to Kevin Sullivan who was in a position to know), ripped on acid 90% of the time he was doing the "Purple Haze" gimmick, just makes me like him all the more. Can you imagine working a match high on acid? I really can't and I'm in a pretty good position to know...

  38. The entire three way feud between Bryan/Show/Henry ruled, especially since Bryan turned heel halfway through when he won the title. We got a couple months of plucky underdog technician Bryan taking super heavyweights to their limit, and then we got a couple months of cocky, mean little shit Bryan besting monsters by the skin of his teeth. That entire run laid the foundation for everything that followed.

  39. Last match of the ride was The Natural Butch Reed and Koko B. Ware. Two thoughts about this: First, this is a match where it feels like most of the participants are dead. As I was watching, I thought to myself, I'll bet the only surviving member of this match is Frankie the parrot. But, thankfully, I was wrong about that. In fact, the only one that's dead IS Frankie! (He died in a house fire back around 2001.) Second, so I may have told this story before. But growing up in Miami, you'd have to go to the James L. Knight Center in order to see the closed circuit show of the Manias. However, when my dad and I got there, we were running a little bit late. We got to the box office and I saw the words that made my heart sink.... SOLD OUT. No scalpers around.... No way to negotiate to get in... We were going to have to go home. So my dad's consoling me as we're walking back to the car, but I notice a group forming around this van near the garage. I get a little closer and see people reacting, and hear Gorilla Monsoon's voice... and it turns out there are about 25-30 people gathered around the transmission truck, the guy in charge had just put out a TV and put on the sound so everyone there could hear it. So I got to watch the entire show for free, with some of the rowdiest people. It was awesome and one of the best memories of growing up as a wrestling fan. Anyway, the memory that's burnt clear as crystal for me, was when Slick got beat up after the match ended were these two 20-something black guys next to me laughing their god damned heads off and gleefully shouting: "THAT ***** LOOK LIKE A CRICKET!" They (and I) couldn't stop laughing for what seemed like an eternity. God, that fucking ruled. (Here ends Day 6.)
