10 months later. 20 kilos lighter. Back up to triples on the 28 kg kettlebell snatch. Pretty happy.
Also: check out my snazzy shorts.
Cool threads, bro! Yeah, you look like a different person altogether! Great job, man!

If I’m lucky, I can shake that fan’s hand one day.
If you're really lucky, it will happen fairly soon! It will probably be pretty gnarly if it happens, say, 3-4 years from now, tho!

Nah man... that was an underrated era. Loads of great tag matches and whatnot.
Oh yeah! Like '88-'89 Prime Time Wrestling had loads of stuff I had seen, but even more stuff that I missed back in the day, and it was awesome when I watched it a couple of years back.

I recently watched SuperBrawl V. One of the undercard matches was Duggan vs. Bunkhouse Buck and I thought, "well, this could be a lot of fun". Actually Duggan just ate up poor Jimmy Golden for 10 minutes.
How about that Starrcade match with Vader? I mean sure, he was making himself look pretty impressive at Vader's expense there, but it was a good, intense match and Vader did convincingly put him away for the US-title in the end.

I think I’m going to save my money, and not just because my electric bill was $30 more thanks to this pre-summer heatwave/reminder that global warming is already getting dangerous
Yeah. Getting my bike fixed yet again cost me way less than I figured it would, so the PPV money came from that. No skin off my ass, so to speak (also, I already promised to TK I would get it). I'm sure that IF this one turns out to be some life-changing experience, there's a way for you to catch it after the fact. Reading the post-PPV thread will probably give you a good idea if it will be worth a look. Or if you wish to remain spoiler-free, just looking at how many pages of discussion the thread has generated, gives an idea whether you missed something significant, or not.

Confirmed!
Wait, now that Vince is "gone", does this mean I can pick up my Network subscription again? Oh well, I think I'll hold out for a bit longer. But it is nice to know there would be something to actually look forward to in doing so. They should be getting around to '94 and the best parts of '94 at that on this one!

The "which era" question is difficult. I know it's not pre-Rock n Wrestling era, as I never saw it as a kid and later on, I haven't watched much of it, even when it was available for me. Mid 80's to turn of the decade is very important to me, as that was what I grew up with (my fandom begun in the later 80's, but there were some reruns going back to '86ish). If this includes NWA/WCW of the same timeframe, then it's even more important to me, as I got into that somewhat in the mid 90's and was very into what I was able to see.
1993 onwards is probably even more important, as the fandom had become more all consuming than earlier. The era itself is definitely a mixed bag, but I enjoy seeing the TV stuff now that I missed back then. PPV's and Colliseum Videos I pretty much have seen, and owned at one point.
Attitude era was important because I was on the internet when I should have been pursuing my academic career (phew, dodged a bullet, THERE)! I enjoyed the PPV's even at the time, but I practically never get the urge to revisit any of that, especially the TV. 2000 onwards, stuff get really good again and I watch some things every so often. That one guy puts a damper on it, though. Feel free to pick one.
Ruthless Aggression (well, Invasion era, actually) onwards, wrestling was on Finnish TV again, for awhile so that was different. There are still PPV's from that period that I actually haven't seen (I think?), but I did get around to see much of it, eventually.
I even enjoyed much of the PG era, but once NXT (and NXT UK) became an option, the main roster lost much of it's appeal (and point, really) to me. Now that AEW has become the real NXT, I've diverted all of my current viewing there.
This is not to say I won't return to watching older WWE some day, but most likely it will be the 80's, 90-97 or early 00's that I can't stay away from. Or may the workrate Cena-era, idk?
On a different note, there has been talk of grandparents and one of the most unifying things between my grandfather and I was wrestling, back in the day. There would be many anecdotes to tell, but I'll just note that he got heat segments all wrong most of the time, and got pissed of if someone made a comeback and ended up winning in the end, except for Hogan.

there's seriously a wrestler out there using the name Speedball?
For whatever reason, I only ever thought this was a reference to the late 80's/ very early 90's computer game about a violent spectator sport and nothing else.

Son of a bitch!!! I did think that a big part of Jungle Express' continued success as champions was the fact that they had 3 way matches as their big defenses. Now that Jeff screwed up THIS 3-way, the titles were really up for grabs. Also, the other Son of a bitch!!! goes to Christian Cage. The second that the titles come off of JE's waists, he pounces on poor Jungle Boy! You will pay for this! Don't let Luchasaurus find you any time soon!

Just like Ortiz, I'm a man of my word! Purchased the PPV on FITE just now, as promised, as a thank you for giving me PAC vs Matthews the other day there!

Only starting to watch now, but props to Ortiz for defiantly giving himself ugliest possible version of the haircut! I mean there's no way the professional in the ring with the trimmer could have giving him a worse cut if he tried! Oh, and THERE was your Sammy heel turn, but is this the smartest thing you can do now? Come back to Jericho?!?
The security guards are human beings, they have names. How dare you just call them by numbers? What are their names? Well, I'm sure there's a Bob in there. Travis, maybe? I wanna say... Dan?
Either way, wouldn't this be like the exact opposite of Rule of Law? It was either mob rules or might makes right, so fucked up either way? I mean sure, settle a lawsuit in the ring, but maybe the plaintiffs should have picked someone to champion them, instead?
Osprey is really putting a lot of effort into looking and acting like a total scumbag! I'll be damned, I guess all that effort offended Orange Cassidy? Effort? Not on my watch, fucker!

Splendid show! Opener was hard hitting as fuck! Big win for Eddie! Does this mean Ortiz is losing his hair, then?
Singh did a couple of moves. Already better than a few other previous giants.
Statlander vs Velvet was really good. I think this went way beyond their Owen qualifier. So, there's gonna be a women's trios match with this crew soon, right?
Main event rocked! Huge win for Trent Barretta! Did NOT see that coming!
Hookhausen bought cars with their winnings, I'll be damned!

Are Hogan showing up as himself on Gremlins 2 The New Batch and Chucky the Murderous Doll showing up on WCW (and later NXT) further evidence of this? I'm intriqued...

We should get a vignette where Matt is wearing a suit and napping in the locker room. He is awakened by Private Party, Butcher, Blade, and Bunny, and he explains that he had the weirdest dream about the HFO being taken over by Andrade Cien Almas and then Bother Nero came back and did a bunch of dumb shit. Then he looks at the camera and winks. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.
And then, as it fades to black, HFO can be all like "Andrade? We wouldn't hang around with that asshole! But we did come to tell you, we voted, and yeah, we really don't want to hang around with you anymore, either! Byeee!"

This is amazing. Apparently the bouncer who KTFO'd Asshole #1 is a former champion boxer who actually fought Mike Tyson (briefly) in 2000. If you listen closely you can hear Asshole #2's dick vanish into nothingness in the aftermath.
Simply glorious!

Not the greatest sleep today, as there are people working on our roof for a week or so. Got up late in the afternoon and did a short run to the store and back, as I needed some ingredients for meat loaf. Making that and baked potatoes took the next couple of hours but left home in time for a decent workout.
Since the "run" was pretty much nonexistent, I decided to do both bench and trapbar this evening. I used the same platforms as last week.
Bench went like this: 10x132, 5×220, 4x5x242, 7x242, 7x220, 23x132.
Trapbar went: 8x196, 6x306, 5x416, 3x515, 3x526, (failed an attempt at 579) then 1x526. After that it was shrugs with 416, 306, 295, 196 and 185.
As it seems that I have gotten some big moves out of the way already this week, I may need to have a squat day on Wednesday, maybe.

I'm diligently working on a meat loaf for the first time in years, I think. There was a meat loaf discussion some months back on the main wrestling discussion thread and the topic of making a sandwhich from the cold meat loaf came up. For those in favor of it, what kind of bread would you suggest for such a sandwhich? I'm bound to make one in the next couple of days, so it any tips would be appreciated.

Yeah, I know I said there won't be any real workouts for a few days, but I did go for a nearly 1 hour run on Saturday before work and Sunday, before night shift, I got in a 45 minute pump workout at the gym. Nothing heavy, but all of the main upper body stuff taken care of.
Weekend shifts were fine and I certainly wasn't lacking calories either, so I should not be too beat up going into next week. I do have to hurry up with the new pics though, but it feels like anything less than the last year's ones is not worth taking so I guess I'm procrastinating on that one!

Other stuff..
Ok...FUCK YOU Christian Cage! Eat shit! If he corrupts Luchasaurus on top of that, then... oh, man! You're like a son to me, my ass! Well, makes sense you'd father a lizard, you slimy bastard!
Silas Young was amazing. His entrance video and music was too!
Aussie Open is eating falls here. I hope they get something from this, as they seem really impressive.
OC was trying, you could tell. The kinesio tape was applied only so-so, at least.
So, yes. The card filled up nicely and Andrade and Fenix get to main event Rampage as a consolation prize.
Interesting names thrown around here, regarding Bryan's replacement. I was thinking CSRO, obviously, but we'll see.
Black and Penta had a hell of a match, but once Penta's back was gone, he was a sitting duck. CMLL goes phew.
More Baddies? Any suggestions?
Main Event I need to watch again at some point.
