Phantom Lord

I forget where I read it, but I saw Toni Storm was pulling in somewhere in the $30 thousand dollars range a month based on her subscribers at the time. EDIT: I missed most of the show last night. Saw some of what I missed in clips. I saw the tail end of Becky and Bayley. That was a pretty good match.

Really fun episode of Dynamite tonight from start to finish. I was shocked at the Andretti win. In retrospect it makes sense in the 123 Kid realm of things. Jericho went above and beyond. Must of been his way of doing what Scott Hall did for him on that random Nitro. I knew something had to be up when they gave the match so much time. Still didn't expect Jericho to actually lose. MJF vs Starks was a really good match. They backed themselves into a corner with having MJF keep the diamond ring. It would have made more sense for them just make a new one or something. I mean TK isn't above throwing money around. But instead we got a match where despite it all you knew MJF was going to win. But at least Ricky looked great in defeat and MJF had to cheat to barely survive. Overall really good tonight.

I just finished watching this weeks show and thought it was pretty good. Kandi vs Robbie was a good opener. I like the feud they are building between kandi and the voodoo club. Ice cold is one of my favorites so I was bummed to see her lose. Penelope pink and Lana continue to deliver as the main villains of the promotion. I've been a fan of Lana since the inception of wow so I look forward to her devious plans. Finally this tag title tournament is over. But I'm curious if Mclane was trying to tie the wow tag title to the lineage of the NWA. They used old nwa tag champions in the video. I was surprised sweet heat won. But it was a nice plot twist to see them paired up with Lana Star. Lana is going for a hostile takeover of wow.

Mandy was playing with fire with that site. I'm honestly surprised it lasted this long.

I forgot to comment last night. I thought the show was pretty good. Obviously FTR vs. The Briscoes was the match of the night. It's a crime that they didn't get to build that up on tv or something. They should have announced this match last month so we could have at least gotten some good twitter videos from Mark and Jay. I was shocked as I'm sure everyone else at how Claudio won. I thought they were backed into a corner with that stip of if he didn't win he had to join the JAS. I still didn't expect him to win and winning on a tap from the giant swing. Claudio even looked shocked which just put it over the top. Overall a fun and good show. What else could you want.

He played the main bad guy in the pilot episode of East New York on CBS a few weeks ago.

I can't believe they have nothing for Miro. How hard is it to have him just go out and beat people up? It doesn't have to be complex.

I like how on the roster page, The Boys count as one instead of being individuals.

Well it is a sitcom. As for the blood, in Bret's book I think he talks about how he hid the blade in his mouth and then played it off as just a really nasty gash when he hit the stairs.

Yeah there's video of it somewhere, but he did do the middle rope elbow dive on Heath Slater.

Dr. D as a babyface would have been amazing stuff for the time period. I think you could have built Wrestlemania on a Piper/Schultz feud.

There's an alternate time line where The Iron Sheik didnt loose the title and he and Slaughter's blood soaked war in the summer over the belt is the stuff of legend.

I'll have to watch the rest of the show later on demand because I forgot it was on. But I caught the main event. Aldis was a good enough third man for the match for his team.

So I've had substantial time to think about the show and I still think it was good. MJF is a heel people want to cheer for so he's gonna get even someone like Moxley being booed in a pretty pro-mox area. I think I would have liked it more if Regal himself was the one to knockout Moxley with the knucks, but it still worked.

Overall a very entertaining show. I thought it was pretty good for the most part. I'll expand on my thoughts later, but for now I can't wait to hear Regal's reasons for what he did.

As I remember watching it live, I was just shocked at what happened. In retrospect, Vince should have worked something out with Bret. The way the match went with all the brawling I think everyone could have lived with a double dq/no contest. But yeah the bigger impact of the screwjob is Bret going to WCW and the last two and a half years of his career being a mess thanks to inconsistent booking. He had some good matches, but they were all for nothing. That was always my biggest takeaway from the screwjob. They had Bret Hart and did nothing with him.

I watched it on thursday night and I thought it was a fun show. I thought Americanna was Santana Garrett till I looked her up and it said unknown under her real name on wikipedia. She's pretty agile but with a name like Americanna she needs more Murica in her ring colors. BK vs. Chantilly was a pretty good match. I knew eventually Kandi's boxing glove would either get stolen and or destroyed. I feel like they did an angle like this in the original GLOW, but I was way too young to remember it. Princess Aussie vs. Tormenta was pretty good as well. I'm glad this tag tournament is finally wrapping up. Only because it was so confusing as to who was advancing. I figure The Tonga Twins are winning.

It was a decent show last night with some really long matches. I watched online so I saw Dynamite I guess from an over sea's source and it's night and day without picture in picture breaks. The commentators are pretty funny during those segments when they are not live in the states. The opening tag was good. I laughed at the idea that Sammy could be ROH Champion. I think that would just cause peoples heads to explode considering the hate he gets online. I hope Claudio beating Jericho leads to a one on one match at the ROH PPV. I don't think Jericho is losing this weekend. Also would love to see a fight without honor between Bryan and Sammy. Sammy needs to be beaten to a bloody pulp. I was surprised by how long Bowens vs. Strickland went. It was a good match and the prematch rap video was hilarious. If this is how Captain Insano will be used I'm all for it. But overall a good match. Swerve really needs to move on from the tag division. He's too good to be just in a tag team. I would like to see him and Keith Lee feud because I can totally see Swerve walking out on him. The Britt Baker promo was a bit weird. She was trying to make herself a face over Saraya who is supposed to be the "good" one here. How hard would have it been to cut a promo calling her brittle and she's gonna send her back into retirement. Simple heel stuff to be done that was totally missed. The trio's match was just a whirlwind of action from the start. Glad to see AR Fox make it to the big show. I was surprised the end of the match saw the reveal of The Elite being the next challengers. That should be a good match. Page vs. Bandido was a fun match. Ethan Page has to be the odds on favorite to win this thing. I just cant see him losing no matter who he's facing in the finals. I too was looking forward to The Bunny vs. Toni Storm, so I hope we get that match at some point. Anna Jay was a fine replacement and the match was pretty good. Would have liked to see more Jaime Hayter though. It seemed like she was an after thought when she came down to the ring after the match. The closing promo with Moxley was good. I can almost see him retaining the title, but they are kinda back into a corner here. MJF has to win. But with The Firm I could see how they could Dusty finish their way out of that. It should be a good ppv on saturday

Yeah, it must of been something like that. Abadon had to be carried from the ring because they were in no shape to even walk back to the locker room. One thing that surprised me about them is Abadon is a lot shorter in person.

Just got back from an Indy show here in Brooklyn and Abadon was on the card. Sadly they got injured during the match. They were clutching their shoulder so maybe a torn shoulder or something of that nature. So they might be out of action for a while.

I watched Weird and I loved it. If I had one small criticism about it (I know it was a parody of bio pics) it's that they consolidated Al's entire career into like a 5 year span. The Gangsta's Paradise bit with Coolio should have been in the 90's when Al had his great comeback (though he never really ever went away). Basically I wish it was a longer movie. I'm hoping there's an extended version on Blu ray or something. Also watched Top Gun Maverick and thought it was great. I wish I saw it in the theater because those fighter jet scenes were amazing. Tom Cruise was really good in it. I doubt it would happen because of when it came out, but I'd love to see Tom get an Oscar nom for this.

Hopefully they bring Bodhi back because I thought it would be a natural feud with him and Duke over who is Chase U's prized student.

I caught up with the show earlier because i forgot i had it on my dvr. Another fun episode. My favorite match was Randi Rah Rah vs. Glitch. I don't get the promos though where they build up someone as a face like with Glitch and then have her be a heel. Still a fun match though. I loved Coach's interference at the end. The triple threat was fun till the end. So did Beast blow out her knee on a powerbomb?

I couldn't stop laughing when I heard him say that. Booker's reaction was great.

I thought tonight's show was meh. It was funny in spots, but most of it felt like it was just there. I guess Triple H is allowed to have an off week especially after having covid. The funniest part was Gallows saying he'll take care of Rhea only to come back needing the ice pack himself. Bayley vs. Bianca was pretty good. Took me a minute to realize it was Nikki Cross who interfered in the match. If she's back to just being crazy I'm all for it. Maybe we can get another match with her and Asuka at some point.
