That I'll agree with. He's starting to get it now. The "Don't Stop Bo-Lieving" cheap heat tracker is pretty fantastic.

PAC/Ambrose seemed kinda ho-hum this week. Like they just ran through the spots. The dance battle was as predictable as you would think. Breeze is gonna figure out that perfect midpoint between Zoolander and kitschy and he'll be solid gold. Bo Dallas going with Strangle Hold Gamma just makes me want to watch Kensuke Sasaki matches. Or better yet, Akira Hokuto matches. Poor Leo did what he could (Even got a fucking face comeback) but you can only do so much with ol' Bo. No clue who they try and feed Bo next, but if it's Sami Zayn, it's too early.

Y'all are sleeping on Yujiro's "ALL NIGHT LONG" towel. Ibushi still does some really stupid stuff, and if he toned it down with the contrived spots, he'd be fine. Couple things in the Nak match showed he could hang with the heavyweights. Even threw a good lariat. They need to call an audible with Ishii. Take advantage of how over he is. Already beat Tanahashi, meaning he has it set up to beat anyone on the roster. If Karl Anderson can make a G-1 Final, Ishii can.

Yeah, I had Fujinami/Maeda from '86 on my birthday. OH! And Kobashi/Kawada from 1998. June 12 has treated me right when it comes to the professional wrestling, I'll tell you what. At least in Japan. EDIT: Oh. Not your birthday, but on your actual date of birth. Well, crap. That's different. But now I need to see that Japanese six-man tag because FUCK YES. Also tempting is Wahoo vs. Big Cat, Jimmy Valient vs. Adrian Street and the Stampede tag main event.

Yeah, I picked up on that. The more I look back , the more it seemed like they were trying to get their feet under them. And boy did they. Season 7 was fucking sensational and THE callback to end all callbacks in the final scene of the show. Deifnitely slots in my Top 10 shows ever. Might be Top 5. Alan Alda's the man.

Or you could just turn the entire issue into a Davey Richards Issue. I'll just be over here. Awaiting the banhammer.

If people work on a Lawler section featuring all his matches with non-trained pros, I'm all for it. Because they're all gonna rule. In fact, that section is added to my list. Lawler vs. non-trained wrestlers.

-89 Great American Bash show review -MVC dropping the titles to Rhodes and Windham on WCW Saturday Night -Bonesaw vs. Necro Butcher from earlier this year -OHNO VS. REGAL FROM NXT That's what I got right now.

Lack of Jerry Flynn matches really hurts the Goldberg set.

Halfway through Season 5 and right now, the only thing I'm thinking about is how much they just don't have that same zing Season 4 had (which is now on the short list for greatest show seasons I've ever seen). It really seems like they cut the legs out from a lot of people, and Gary Cole's my dude right now. Although Toby has continued to star. They really do kinda look like they are meandering until the next big event, whatever that is.

John Leguizamo being in Kick-Ass 2 is beyond awesome. Big Dave in Riddick is also awesome.

So I'm trying to figure out if THE WEST WING actually jumps the shark because it seems like after the incredible Season 4 that they've hit a brick wall in Season 5. I keep waiting for anything to jump out at me and it hasn't hit me yet, really.

COUNTRY MUSIC, MOTHERFUCKERS.

Um, well, I use archive.org for Los Livingston Brothers, our public radio show that my brothers and I do every week. So there IS that.

Haha. Dolfan wins for Lebron and Wade being in awe of that spot.

I actually hate the play-by-play guy. Has no appreciation for actual big spots. Constantly saying it's over when it's obviously not. Regal though...that dude is fucking incredible. When he keeps him in line, it's the greatest thing ever. Incredible talent, booking and actual linear story telling makes this the best TV show by far in wrestling. Not even close.

I voted for everyone because fuck you.

Saw this trailer before World War Z and, well, it looks like I might need to give this a chance and shelve my Battle Royale bias.

That Goldberg match was fucking fantastic. And Goldberg worked that on a broken ankle.

Corino's best match is Hardcore Heaven 2000...against Tajiri. Absolutely ridiculous.

Lord Hentai? Since when did WWE debut a guy who was into animated Japanese porn?

I'm pretty sure they had him win with it a couple of times.

Yeah, they called it the Dragon Whip.

The two big ones in my head are a game where an umpire got hit with a broken bat and got taken to the hospital, and a player from each team alternated sides as base umpires. It was the most surreal thing ever. I also had a game where Travis d'Arnaud went gonzo off Matt Moore with a grand slam. There was also an 18-inning game where there were no hits for a 10 inning stretch.

Just finished FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS. Not sure how much of it is full of shit, but Buzz did well here. Also loved the whole Reagan appearance. Now i'm reading SHADOWS OF THE EMPIRE. It's fine, but it's not THRAWN.
