Anybody have results for the "Knoxville Super Bowl of Wrestling" that Continental ran in September 1986? And who the hell was Roy Lee Welch? Wikipedia claims he was Jimmy Golden but that can't be right.

Anybody know what the story is on Salvatore Bellomo showing up at 1987 house shows in a black bodysuit with rainbow stripes on the arms and legs and billing himself as the "Italian Stallion?" Did he piss off Vince or something?

Watching Contraband, they don't bother to mention the movie takes place in New Orleans until the movie is almost over. You spend the whole time thinking it's set in Boston given the accents of Wahlberg and his character's brother, but then they just casually mention their in New Orleans at the very end.

Listening to a bunch of CBC programming talk about the Hull controversy via my local NPR affiliate, there are apparently a lot of Canadian reporters and fans who would say yes to all of those examples. A lot of (most) Americans don't realize just how progressive Canada really is. The Cleveland Browns are getting ready to unveil a statue of Jim Brown, and in Cleveland everyone will go "he's the greatest NFL player who ever lived" while in Canada there would be a thousand 'think pieces' going "Why are we building a statue for a guy who spent time in jail for throwing his girlfriend off of a balcony."

12 new episodes of FLCL are coming.

The Social Justice Warriors would eat Marvel alive if they thought Moon Girl was being phased out in favor of female black Iron Man.

Oh, for the love of God... Nintendo just doesn't learn, do they.

Have him accidentally spill coffee on Big Show, Big Show chokeslams him on the arena floor, Roman wins by DQ at SummerSlam, pins Big Show at September PPV, loses in tag match with Balor vs. Big Show/Kane at October PPV, defeats Kane in Last Man Standing match at Survivor Series, next night on Raw announces his plan to win the Royal Rumble and claim the Universal Title. Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

Anybody hear from tape trading legend John McAdam anymore?

I've gotten so used to watching Charles Bronson in shitty Cannon movies where he didn't give a crap and phoned it in, I genuinely forgot he was a pretty good actor back in the 1960's watching "Villa Rides" with Robert Mitchum on Grit TV.

Last month when he mentioned that house shows headlined by Roman as champ were doing horrible attendance.

Huh. Jason Bateman must not have gotten a good royalty deal on "Zootopia" or something.

So how many people googled "Britt Baker" last night and came up with the traffic reporter for FOX 59 in Indianapolis? Next time they're in Indy, they should pay the traffic reporter to do a skit where the wrestler and traffic reporter are both back stage and they tell Britt the wrestler she's taking on Asuka in a "NXT Showcase" match and Britt the wrestler freaks out and tricks the reporter to go out to the ring. In regards to the "Universal Title," that has to be some sort of rib that Vince has been wanting to pull on Carlos Colon for 30 years.

I'm not sure which was the more disappointing movie I saw this weekend. "Ghostbusters" was this weird mishmash of comedy styles, with Feig/Wiig/McCarthy seemingly trying to do a Adam Sandler-style movie while McKinnon and Jones were trying to do something else. It's like Feig and co. said "you know what the best parts of 'Spy' and 'Bridesmaids' were? The vomiting knife fight and the shitting in the street scenes. We need to make a whole movie about that." One of the strongest points of the original Ghostbusters was that Ramis, Ackroyd, and Reitman kept the humor grounded in reality. They didn't try to do campy SNL or SCTV style jokes in the middle of a film about con artists setting up a paranormal investigations business. The one attempt that they did do, the infamous "hobos" scene, was cut out of the movie. But Feig and co. go "broad" with their jokes right off the bat with the "Amazon" gag and it just goes downhill from there. The villian, Rowan, was incredibly ineffective. No real explanation for his motivations or reasons why. He's apparently some mentally ill genius who feels the whole world has spit on him, so he decides to instigate an apocalypse to get revenge. They never bother to explain HOW he got all of that paranormal knowledge or technical skills, he's just able to build machines to summon paranormal energy. In the original film, the main bad guy, Ivo Shandor, had been dead for decades but Ramis effectively explained his origin and motivations in a 30-second speech that was utterly chilling to five-year old me. The film completely falls apart during the finale. An awful green screen battle in a CGI Times Square that seemed like something from a FMV video game from the mid 1990's. We get these slo mo scenes of the girls zapping ghosts with proton beams like a wuxia film. Hopefully for the sequel, they'll move Feig into a producer's role and replace McCarthy with American Ferrera or something. Jones and McKinnon were easliy the best things in the movie, so any sequel should focus mostly on them. -------------------------------- Star Trek Beyond was just dull. "More of the same" in comparison to the last two films. The "Sabotage" finale had me rolling my eyes.

https://radioinsight.com/blog/headlines/107288/yahoo-sports-radio-rebrands-as-sb-nation-radio/ The radio network formerly known as "One-On-One Sports Radio," "Sporting News Radio," and "Yahoo! Sports Radio" is now being renamed "SB Nation Sports Radio." ---------------------- Also, apparently Cedric Ceballos is gone from Fox Sports Radio. Back in March, FSR gave their weekend prime time slot to some guy named Brian Noe who's whole act was basically "frat boy jock" and he was horrible. To improve ratings, FSR stuck him with Ceballos on Saturday nights. Ceballos was really good: pragmatic, intelligent, focused on the facts. The two men had zero chemistry. Ceballos would make a telling point about NBA players and Black Lives Matter, and Brian Noe would ignore him and start talking about how hyped he was for the new Air Jordan retros that were coming out. This past Saturday, Ceballos was gone and it was back to being "The Brian Noe Show" with no mention of Cedric and Brian going back to full-on frat boy routine.

Chapter 16 of "Fallen Empire" delayed until May, then the game goes on hiatus until the Fall when the next "season" called Knights of the Eternal Throne goes online.

In any of the re-issues, did Zahn ever do any rewrites of the scenes discussing the Clone Wars so they matched up with the prequels?
