  1. They were all in the cartel together, none of them were rivals.
  2. The possibility of a 10-8 or 11-10 final score in Pittsburgh just ended, now it’s just a boring 17-10 final!!
  3. NFL Films used these clips and soundbites for Dick Butkus for ages, always loved the Deacon Jones and Ray Mansfield ones. https://youtu.be/Ou5Nn9FEaiw?si=MF_p-WMzCh-Q94UO&t=136
  4. He should have pitched in the bottom of the 9th in the 1992 NLCS! I still curse Jim Leyland for how he mismanaged the inning.
  5. Did Mean Gene actually wrestle in the AWA? I know he tagged with Hogan against Fuji and George Steele at a WWF Twin Cities house show in 84 or 85. While Watts is saying one thing on tv, you know he would have jumped at the chance to feature Mr. T in a match.
  6. He also worked the AWA’s Super Clash II in 1987.
  7. Was always surprised they never did a movie in the 90's when it seemed like every old tv show got a flick.
  8. Didn't think of that, they'll probably use Criss Angel or David Blaine for the magic portion, or they might dig up Elvis Presto! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqusO8PegFI&t=63s
  9. With it being in Las Vegas, I wonder how much of it will be Usher and how much will be a rotation of the big Vegas shows like Cirque du Soleil, Blue Man Group, and the likes of David Copperfield.
  10. At that time in kayfabe sense pro-wrestling was a form of "Prize Fighting" like boxing, hence mentions of "the winners share of the purse" once and awhile, the masked wrestler would be on the hook with the tax man, they wouldn't have been any type of employee.
  11. The southern promotions always over complicated the explanation of how masked wrestlers got paid. Why "we send a check to a PO Box and it eventually gets cashed" and not just "whatever masked wrestler gets paid in cash", or for a heel his pay is sent via wire transfer to an offshore account.
  12. That was a hell of a punt by Harvin!
  13. Simon Property Group who owns a ton of malls bought Penney's and is keeping them afloat, they can't afford to have another anchor store chain go out of business.
  14. Guess the refs in Denver had dinner reservations, that no call was 10x worse than the one Lions fans are crying about.
  15. Really digging the YouTubeTV Sunday Ticket multi-view today.
  16. Been watching old Dragnet's, mainly episodes dealing with fraud or gambling and they're way more fun/interesting than Sgt. Joe Friday chewing out anyone with slightly long hair. There was an episode where Friday and Gannon broke up a scam that was pretty much the same one from The Telemarketers doc series on Max, to the point I blurted out "holy shit!".
  17. The Mediterranean Beach Games are going on right now and besides the sports you'd expect like Beach Volleyball and Open Water Swimming there's "Beach" versions of other sports like Wrestling! More sports need beached up!
  18. For those that don't remember Test was only 33 when he died in 2009:(
  19. The former HBO Max suggested an actual movie over reality shows last night and one of those movies was F/X! Hadn't seen it in ages and I'm glad I watched it, has to be one of the best casted movies of the decade, besides Bryan Brown and Brian Dennehy there's tons of "wait a minute is that?". You have Jerry "Fucking" Orbach, Mason Adams aka the voice over guy from tons of commercials like Smuckers, Roscoe Orman aka Gordon from Sesame Street,Trey Wilson aka Nathan Arizona Sr. from Raising Arizona, Martha Gehman aka Ophelia from The Legend of Billie Jean, and Paul D'Amato aka Tim "Dr. Hook" McCracken from Slapshot! I also wish there was a universe where Brian Dennehy had more movies or a series with this character or one that's similar, he's so good! There's a bit at the end that's kind of weird though.
  20. 343 people won’t be going to the pay window thanks to the Mets.
  21. Sorry, that was a good no call.
  22. 343 people saw nothing wrong with it.
  23. Watched two movies on Netflix right after I downgraded to their cheapest tier. The Out-Laws gave it a shot since I've been on a heist movie kick, it's not horrible but it's not good, there's some funny parts and a pretty good car chase though. Pierce Brosnan and Ellen Barkin are a good combo and it got me thinking of an alt timeline where she's in a more serious The World is Not Enough or a totally different movie in the Die Another Day slot. I also went the nostalgia kick and watched Dan Aykroyd get top billing over Tom Hanks in 1987's Dragnet! I don't think I had seen this from start to finish since I rented it in late 87 or early 88, after that I just picked it up when it was on cable. It's such a weird combo of parody, satire, and copaganda with the satire not really being a jab at cops, it straight up has the torture of a suspect used as a comedic bit, but it has a lack of outright homophobia that most comedies from that era had. Aykroyd really over does the Jack Webb impression and I think no one told him that Webb acted that way due to being either hungover or if they shot after lunch drunk, Hanks still has a lot of Bachelor Party Hanks in him which is always fun, you also get Christopher Plummer chewing a ton of scenery and Dabney Coleman goes with a Dusty Rhodes style lisp and cadence for his character.
  24. It looks like Hulk is a mixed bag of white ethnicities with his paternal grandfather being the only Italian, but from the North of Italy so not sure he'd make Sal's wall.
