As some of you may know, I got breakthrough COVID last week. I don't know how/where/when I was exposed, but thankfully it was very mild. I got a monoclonal antibody treatment almost immediately and about a day later, to quote the Oracle in The Matrix I felt "right as rain." That being said, I did have to go into a 10 day isolation, because I was still contagious.
So... I looked at my exercise bike - unused since I finished writing - and I thought to myself... well, you know there is one more WrestleMania you haven't done...
And a new one coming each year, so you're going to have to give a ride per year anyway, if you want to keep the list finished.

It's missing the black and gold version with the WWE logo. Can't say I will miss the belt because I'm pro getting rid of it.
At least the Cruiserweight Classic was awesome! Anyway, Neville, Cedric, Murphy and Nese were my favorite champions. You may notice a pattern if you look closely enough...

You’ll probably never see a one fall match on the Network for Abe. Unless more 90’s syndicated, and weekend USA shows show up on there. You’ll have to look it up online.
I appreciate it, but I think I'll live, even if I end up not seeing any of his matches. I mean it's pretty unlikely that his style is that much different from the typical Lombardi/ Brooklyn Brawler matches, right?
-
Let's see, I have witnessed not that many matches live, but Rey & Edge vs Benoit & Angle, AJ Styles vs Jonny Storm, Shane Douglas vs Steve Corino and British Strong Style vs War Machine & Jeff Cobb would probably be the only realistic possibilities.

Are you gonna switch PPVs this time?
If you go back this thread a little bit, I believe there was a hint towards NXT Takeovers, so that could be a possibility...

2021 can get fucked. One of the worst years of my life, top three at least. Nearly over!
Yeah, it has not been great! Neither was last year. It should start to get better someday soon, goddammit!

When it seemed like WWE UK title wouldn't pick up any steam, I figured the unification match between then king of the cruiserweights Neville and Bruiserweight Pete Dunne would end up taking place back in 2016(?), never did. I'd imagine Hayes prevails here, but who knows?

Where does Ciampa go once he inevitably drops the belt?
Joins Thatcher as a trainer, maybe?

Tony D'Angelo recovered from his broken/dislocated fingers in 3 1/2 minutes. Magic, I tell ya.
So fucking stupid. Another move/trope that completely needs erased from wrestling(all companies)
When this comes up, I always refer to the PAC vs WALTER match from OTT Wrestling, where PAC landed wrong, his index finger was bent 90 degrees sideways, for real, and he just pulled it back into place and continued the match for another 20 minutes. Never had any issue with Dunne finger bend after that. If you are enough of a bad ass, a dislocated finger is just an inconvenience. The problem is, only Tyler Bate and Alesteir Black have ever remembered to "pull the finger back into place" in order to get the hand working again. It's not the move, it's the incoherent selling of the move that is the problem.

David and Peter Paul, The Barbarian Brothers!
I always kind of hoped they'd show up somewhere as a tag team. Those guys had a great sense of humour.
They were great in DC Cab, with Mr. T!
Ok, so I guess their names weren't Rand and Jake, but I recall seeing a little bit of that Barbarians movie at my school mate's house in the late 80's. We didn't watch the whole thing, because he didn't think it was all that good.

There's a film in Momoa and Reigns as twins who do something actiony.
Some remake of those 80's "Barbarian Twins" (or whatever the F those two were called) B-movies, at the very least!

Kylie Rae vs Allie Katch announced for GCW's Say You Will on 1/15. Their last match was only okay, but Allie Katch is a very different worker from when she was doing the Allie Kat gimmick.
EDIT: And they literally just announced Joey Janela vs Scotty 2 Hotty for their 1/1 show.
I was wondering whether Allie Kat and Allie Katch were the same person, leaning towards she has to be, but thanks for inadvertedly clearing that one up for me!

I didn't watch the show but I really want to see how McAfee delivered this lol
So were they really meaning to say "Fuck Happy Corbin", then?

Obviously not, if those three matches managed to escape!

So, did I understand this correctly? Abe "Knuckleball" Schwarz character for Steve Lombardi was made for the sole purpose of making fun of Baseball strike of '94 as well as rather constant pitcher/catcher jokes by Vince? I have yet to see a single match by him, except that he was in that IC-title battle royal which had Razor and Rick Martel as the final two. I think his name was MVP, originally.

Brad Armstrong, nWo Sting, High Voltage, Steven Regal, Mike Enos, Harlem Heat toured New Japan. They actually had some interesting cast of characters going over there. It wasn’t just the big stars.
I remember Armstrong and Enos touring New Japan a lot back when Malenko, Eddie and that one other guy toured New Japan in the early to mid nineties. Now that you mention it, I recall nWo Sting's name on the PWI results over there, others I was not aware of, at all. Harlem Heat and High Voltage would have fit right in those Ring Warriors shows that were on EuroSport!

I’ve been struggling to get a booster this week. Earliest I could find is next Monday. Tried talking my wife into this but no go.Not even "We're going to just drive thru, get the booster and drive right back home, won't even turn off the engine in between"-level of deal?

ISTR Eddie worked a grand total of one (1) match in New Japan after 1996, and they turned it into an angle that Bischoff made him go despite it being the same day as his kid's birthday or something stupid like that.
This I didn't know/remember! Sounds exceedingly stupid.

Blame Russo, and him having Liger job to a Tequila bottle.
Blame Bischoff, and his "I need everyone for every show whether I'm going to use them or not" philosophy. Like, New Japan and WCW had a deal, but not many WCW wrestlers actually got to go to Japan, did they? Like Eddy and Dean signed for WCW under the impression that they would be working NJ tours several times a year, and then Eric never let them go.
I recall Scott Norton and Buff Bagwell spent some time over in New Japan when they were part of NWO-Japan, but other than that, a lot of the guys who used to go there, ended up not going anymore.

Its not really a thing in women's wrestling. Probably related to aesthetics though to be fair I have seen the ties become undone pretty easily when men and women use them so it may also be a thought of not really worth bothering with in some cases.
Yeah, I tried to explain that it's not really about convenience, but you can probably see how it would look kinda odd from an outside perspective, right?

Sarray looks great, but is Hogan on an "off" cycle?
Somehow, he managed to drop 10 more pounds from his '93 WWF look! And shaved off his moustache...no, wait, that's still there, sorry!

Tying

Hair
Back.
My wife was wondering this same thing this one time she saw women wrestle on NXT. "How come none of them have their hair tied back? Seems very inconvenient to me!"

Hmm, seems like nothing much changes over the next 12 months...

Spent Christmas in a small coastal town in Southern Finland with my wife. Nice and quiet. Hotel had an adjacent Spa and overall there's not that many other guests. Food was really good. We are heading back home today, but it's a long-ass drive home (by Finnish standards, anyway) and it's been snowing back home, so I know what I'll be doing this evening.
