Does anyone remember who the hell was booking when they brought in fucking Moondog Rex under a mask as The Nightmare and hotshotted the North American belt onto him?
I could swear Meltzer once said that run by Nightmare killed attendance and hurt Taylor in the short term.

- According to those "Observer Flashbacks" that S. Keith is doing right now, the story behind Hennig wearing the tag title belt when he won the IC title tourny in 1990 is because Warrior paid for his own IC title belts with the different colored straps, so he owned those and took care of them on his own, and when it came time for the TV taping and the tourny final, the production crew simply forgot to grab the IC title belt out of the warehouse when they were loading up the ring crew truck and didn't realize the title belt was back in Stamford until a few hours before the match, so they had to substitute a tag belt for that one night.
- I remember on two different occasions, the guy behind J-Mar Belts went on RSPW and bitched and moaned about how he hated title belts with multiple side plates, and wanted to only make title belts with two side plates (ala the WCW U.S., Tag, and Cruiserweight belts he made) instead of four, and WWF would constantly overrule him and insist he put four side plates on each belt he made. It ended up being one of many reasons why WWF went back to Dave Millican eventually.

13-14 years ago, when I used to go to CZW shows on a fairly regular basis, I always harbored hopes of trying to con my way backstage, where I'd grab the King of the Death Match title belt when no one was looking, stuff it into a FedEx box I had in the trunk of my car, and mail it to the Big Japan Pro Wrestling office address that was listed on Great Hisa's title history website before anyone realized it was missing.

How long do I have to redeem pre-order codes? I pre-ordered to get Goldberg but probably won't have an actual Xbox One until the end of November.

Anyone know the name of the ring announcer here? He was the ring announcer for both of the Crockett Charlotte Stadium shows in '85 and '87 (Dusty/Tully in a cage and Dusty/Tully barbed wire ladder match) and was the ring announcer for the Crockett Los Angeles shows that would air on that World Pro Wrestling show in Japan.
He seemed to be the NWA's "c-show" announcer whenever Tommy Miller and Tony Schiavone weren't available.

Rewatching the movie just now, could we please just get one movie adaptation where Raphael ISN'T a hot headed powerhouse and is instead a wise cracking jokester, with Michaelangelo as a California surfer?

Sheamus was in a TMNT movie and I don't remember WWE saying anything about it but these are a thing that's coming.
Because the movie was fucking terrible and in a very rare instance of foresight, WWE realized this ahead of time.

I was a huge mark for early 2000s ROH, but I hate the product now.
I would only "upgrade" my subscription if I could get written confirmation from WWE Legal that none of my $14.99 a month would in any way, shape, or form go towards the continued employment of Beer City Bruiser.
That, and every episode of Smokey Mountain with Tammy Fytch will be permanently available on the network.

True story: When "Return of the Jedi" came out, my friends and I were all big fans of Danger Mouse and in that show Colonel K always used the British slang term 'boffin' to refer to scientists, so when "Jedi" came out we all assumed that Mon Mothma had said "boffin" not "Bothan" and thought she meant a bunch of scientists had stolen the plans for the second Death Star.
With the EU being declared non-canon, and Shadows of the Empire revealing that Bothans are blue skinned aliens, we still don't know what the hell a Bothan is.

I actually didn't realize that he was potentially a Moss/Owens/Keyshawn-style WR1 diva until the last few weeks. Now he has my full attention.
I love Eli throwing him under the bus the way he has.

The Browns still play the Jets, Titans, Chargers, and Giants this season. They'll win at least one game.
(The look of abject, suicidal depression on either Kiser or Watson's face at the draft as they hold up that Browns jersey will be hilarious. ESPN should also put a camera in Lamar Jackson's dorm room so they can show his reaction in case the Browns are dumb enough to draft Myles Garrett #1 overall, 'cuz that means that Lamar is gonna be a Brown in 2018.)

Not sure what the blank quote is from...
But anyways, I wonder how much longer Shop TNA will last. Should I hurry up and buy all those autographed 8x10s of SoCal Val that I've been putting off, and do I get free gum when I do?
-
Yeah, but now we get all sorts of creepy fandom to compensate, like "Bionicle/Harry Potter dubious consent slash fics" and shit.
God, toys really were much better back in the 1980s.

For the second year in a row, Jason Smith has an on-air meltdown after his Mets lose in the playoffs, and for the second year in a row his non-Mets fan listeners change the station.

...should I put it in the music folder or the Radio/TV folder?

Sorta how the visitors to Westworld, Roman World, and Medieval World didn't think all that much about how their "adventure vactions" were excuses to engage in the act of murder without the guilt of taking another human life or to sexually gratify themselves in any manner they saw fit without the messy aftermath of degrading another human being.
Not only are the robots subject to that behavior, they are programmed to encourage it from the guests! They are like that cow in Restaurant At The End of The Universe that wants to be eaten!
IMO Westworld is a much better story when people are punished for being arrogant, hedonistic, and over-indulgent and not when they are punished for being "evil."

I saw "Dr. Ken" for the first time this past Friday.
It wasn't terrible, as far as multi-camera sitcoms go. At the very least Dave Foley is getting a steady paycheck out of it given all the financial problems he's had with his unpaid alimony.

Could we get HBO to team up with Ben Affleck and adapt the "Kenzie & Gennaro" novels into a series?
Each "season" would comprise a single novel.
I'd have Casey Affleck and Slaine reprise their roles from "Gone Baby Gone" as they both still look youthful enough, but replace Michelle Monaghan as even in "Gone" she didn't fit the part as Dennis Lehane wrote it even ignoring how much older she looked in "Pixels" last year.
Each season would be a faithful adaptation of Lehane's novels, set in the year it was published and HBO would drive a dump truck full of cash to Cary Fukunaga's house to get him to direct the final episode of "Darkness Take My Hand" with the confrontation with the bad guy in the bar and then the playground.

The one TNA where Shannon Moore debuted with the mohawk, eyeliner, and Book of Dilligaf.
That is one of the very few times where I went from "this guy is playing a character, trying to earn a living" to "this is fucking stupid, fuck this guy for agreeing to participate in this dumb ass gimmick/skit."

Well, he sure as hell couldn't do much with Jumbo fucking Baretta.
Some research shows that Rusty Brooks was an assistant trainer at the Maleko Wrestling School in Tampa, so that's why he's getting the big push here.

Plus like ECW, most of those guys really want TNA to survive because there is really nothing left except small indie shows and conventions. There is probably 2 or 3 guys on that current roster that Ring of Honor or WWE would interested in. From the sounds of it, the only reason they give a shit about buying TNA is because of the tape library
I love how, when you become a pro wrestler, you apparently suffer some sort of mental block for the rest of your life where the idea of going to community college and learning a new career is completely incomprehensible.
Not that I'm unsympathetic when these guys lose their jobs, but I've lost count of how many guys have gone on Twitter or a shoot interview after getting fired from WWE/TNA or not being able to get a job with WWE/TNA and are all "How am I going to feed my family now."
Um, just an idea, but maybe go back to college and start your life over?

Would never putting the title on Monte Brown after he got himself mega over qualify for this list, or does that fall under Jarrett holding the title hostage category?
Eh, I never really considered Monte Brown to be main eventer material. He's the guy you have come out to do a 30-second squash right after intermission to pop the crowd.
But I totally forgot to add the "Planet Jarrett vs. TNA Regular Army" feud and "Team Canada: Lead Heels" eras to my original list. I know the fat guy with the glasses who was also head booker during the Team Canada period is friends with a couple of the senior posters on here, but he was definitely not lead heel material.

At this point I just want the company to die and go away forever. And it's not just one thing, but pretty much everything they've done over the last 14 years: dwarfs jerking off in trash cans, giant penis tag teams, Jeff Jarrett holding the world title hostage, Scott Hall: Drunken Elvis Impersonator, wasting Chris Daniels and Low Ki in their prime years in a fucking tag team instead of pushing them as top singles stars, wasting the prime years of Samoa Joe and Doug Williams as mid carders, Abyss and his fucking repetitive thumbtack bumps, The Main Event Mafia, putting Homicide in a racist stereotype tag team with Zach Arnold's boy toy Hotstuff Hernandez, Black Machismo, reverse battle royals for World titles, dragging out Aces & Eights for seventeen months even as ratings continued to plummet, giving Dixie Carter a platform to appear on TV and the Internet, constantly reviving The Beautiful People instead of creating new heel "knockout" stables, Dixie grabbing onto Hulk Hogan's leg while he tried to walk away from the company, providing employment to the Voodoo Kin Mafia/New Age Outlaws instead of letting them fade into obscurity, treating the signing of every midcard curtain jerker the WWE fired and having them do a "shoot" interview as if it were some sort of industy changing moment, the skit where Dixie visited "Vince" and his "son in law" to get security camera footage, providing Vince Russo with a source of income for over a decade.
Just go away, go away and join XPW and GLOW in the purgatory of joke wrestling promotions that should have never existed.

So, um, could we hurry up and get Bojack Horseman, Daredevil, and Jessica Jones on R1 blue ray already, please?

Did the Red Sox or the Indians win last night, cuz TBS and ESPN are making me think it was the Red Sox with their coverage.
