Mister TV

I think you're looking too deep into the Rumble angle, the face after being eliminated offering a handshake to the heel then pulling him out was a standard Battle Royal spot, using it for a turn was more of a bad choice than Vince's narcissism.

Wow! Also, Romo is such an idiot “duh they should put Mariotta in to make the throw”.

Pitt with another INT! If the Panthers were in the Big Ten they’d be ranked in the top 5.

Actually 3 pick sixes in the first half, got the third with about a minute left in the half.

It got coverage initially and then was only covered by tabloid tv shows like Inside Edition and Geraldo's syndicated "news" show, sadly back then and even now network and local news didn't/don't like covering stories like this. I also think a lot of big city newspapers avoided it since Titan Sports would buy a lot of ad space to promote house shows, besides the NY Post who let Phil Mushnick write basically whatever he wanted about it.

Sadly keeping abusers around after allegations was par for the course back then, not just for Titan Sports but for churches, schools, scouting, college sports teams and so on.

Mero always looked like and had the mannerisms of a generic pro wrestler you'd see on a sitcom. Like he'd be on the wrestling episode of Step by Step with the dude who was Malibu on American Gladiators.

But anyone who was well known was going to be recognized in the Black Scorpion outfit.

Was Eddie Gilbert even thought of by the WCW booking committee, or did everyone on the committee dislike him so there was no chance? Also, there was no chance of it happening but The Steiner's going heel with Rick as the Black Scorpion could have been money. Ditch the tag tourney at Starrcade and have The Steiner's in a standard tag match, Rick gets "injured" early on in the match and goes back to the locker room, Scott wins in a quasi-handicapped match, then during the Sting-BS match have the faces come out to fight the other Black Scorpions surrounding the cage, Scott hangs at ringside and slams the cage door on Sting's head, BS gets the pin and pulls off the mask and the Steiner's beat Sting down. They could do Steiner's vs. Sting & Luger(who was a face) at house shows and a gimmick match at a ppv, could also start the build to Luger's heel turn.

I saw pre-WWF expansion Steele at house shows in Pittsburgh, in ring wise he'd do all the typical heel bs but with some "crazy" tossed in, can't remember him bumping that much, kind of remember him doing the hide the foreign object spots but nowhere as good as Pittsburgh's own Baron Mikel Scicluna.

It’s so dumb that Cal at Pitt and Penn State at USC are conference games and Pitt vs. Penn State and Cal vs. USC will most likely never happen again.

Has this ever been posted, found it on Instagram.

James Franklin already has his excuse for losing. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/penn-states-james-franklin-says-state-college-airport-limitations-create-travel-issues-for-trip-to-usc/

Or maybe the rich people at the fundraisers avoided Vince.

Bungles going to Bungle.

Joe Eszterhas wrote an amazing article for Rolling Stone about Knievel's Snake River Canyon Jump, the title of the article is "King of the Goons".

Turk 182 infuriated him! Sadly Turk 182 isn’t on any streaming services, would totally watch it tonight if it was.

The Official Roger Ebert Youtube account is posting a ton of his reviews from the 80's that were syndicated and played on local news broadcasts. There's a lot of reviews for movies that I watched all the time on HBO or Showtime like Gotcha!, Moving Violations, and The Man with One Red Shoe, but haven't even thought of since 1992. Ebert gets really agitated in his review for Girls Just Want to Have Fun.

My neighborhood bookie didn't take any action on the first week of XFL games due to not knowing if it was going to be fake or not, I don't think anyone attempted to bet the rest of the season due to how bad the games were.

The Lions look like they’re wearing the Carolina Panthers alternative uniforms.

Hysterical that the crowd in whatever Atlanta suburb is 75% Mets fans.

Bill Simmons said on his podcast that a whole very good segment on the Evel Knievel jump was cut due to time and not really fitting with the story being told.

I should have said schools, the B1G and SEC want UVA and UNC, when it comes to VT and NC State not so much.

So are they going to play Risk or arm wrestle to decide who gets the better ACC teams from Virginia and North Carolina?

I don't have an issue with him bailing, I can totally see whoever was supposed to pay this kid trying to stiff him and pulling the "What are you going to do, sit out the rest of the season?" and the kid called them on their bluff.
