  1. It’s really hard for me to pinpoint a singular big bang moment. I remember plenty of acute moments in time from my childhood: the first RAW (the idea of a live-live wrestling show blew my mind), the end of Rumble 94, Abby getting fried in the Chamber of Horrors, the Masked Scorpion, Lex coming out of the carriage to attack Sting), but I can’t remember a single entry point. It had to be sometime in 89 or 90. 

    I do remember our neighborhood backyard fed circa 1991. My older brother was Warrior and our neighbors were Hogan and Flair, so I was “stuck” being Macho Man. Looking back I totally won that deal.

  2. I love both but I agree I’m concerned about Hart/Statlander. Pulling off “bigger face vs smaller heel” is a tough job even for 10+ year veterans.

    Christian is just so good. He’s not 2003 Rock levels of “he’s honestly too good for this”, but I get those kinds of vibes. He’s right there with Starks and Swerve as the guy who should beat the guy who beats MJF

    It continues to amaze me how much Dom pulls more from Eddie than Rey when it comes to being a good wrestler. He isn't as smooth as either, but he gets the job done. If it wasn't for that rolling single leg crab you would never guess the man was actually trained by Lance Storm.

    You’re right, that’s wild. We need a “biggest heat magnet trained by the worst heat magnet” thread and I don’t think we’re topping this one unlike, like, Charlie Haas trained MJF or something 

    Dom rules. Him 100% being more Eddie’s kid than Rey’s is some serious long term continuity and it’s great.

  4. Growing up in a combination of WCCW / Mid South country (East Texas / Shreveport), to this day Adnan is one of those territory guys that is way more famous with casual fans than his actual role on the show entailed.

    I think every territory has guys like that. When I mention wrestling to the ~50-60 year old crowd he’s one of the first names mentioned. Along with JYD (obviously), Kamala and Dr Death. Sort of like how the older-than-that crowd (let’s call it 70-80) names Haystacks Calhoun.

  5. Newfound perspective hearing Kevin Sullivan talk about the Dungeon of Doom. His point: the hires were forced on him, so what did you want him to do? Sprinkle the shit all over the show, or use them all in one segment?

    I….yeah I can’t argue that one. Although now I’m wondering about an alternative history that had heel Hacksaw Jim Duggan in the Dungeon. And it kind of rules to be honest.

    Gotta find a way for him to come to the ring in a totally clapped-out Lancer with an aftermarket muffler and extremely bubbly stick-on window tint.

    I appreciate that every week they're finding ways to make Roderick Strong look even more of a nebbish.

    Nick Wayne definitely looks like a guy that drives a lowered S-10 sitting on 20’s with a pair of Rockford Fosgate 6x9’s in a custom box in the back

    You are aware he is actually from Yonkers right (which unlike Queens is not part of NYC)?

    See, now we need a feud where the heel very factually tells Eddie that he’s from Westchester

    There is no bigger insult, and I would fear for that gentleman’s life

  8. All In + All Out is the best possible pro wrestling double album. This was AEW’s Use Your Illusion 1 and 2.

    The glitz, glamour, celebrity and scale of All In. Then the grittiness, raw attitude of All Out. It’s a beautiful, artful thing.
     

    I’d get the Blu Ray set immediately if available.

    The Elite are scheduled to appear on Collision tonight apparently.

    That’s a choice.

    I love it. It’s pro wrestling and “personal issues draw money”. Roll around in the mud, fam. Let’s get Tony Khan coming out to Iron Man, Hangman Page kicking off the show “for all the boys in the back” and blood baths that miss by 6 feet
