ka-to

Nailz was babyface to me as soon as he did it.

This might have been the saddest episode. The stuff with his mother didn't add up with Chris' grand father being Chuck Richards, the WWWF prelim guy. I remember seeing Chuck and some cute girl (Tammy) sitting at the top of the bleachers at some high school whey they were so young.

A weekly 30 minute show on GAORA.

I was there. I loved those early ECW shows. It wasn't the same after they went to having PPV in different locations and the Arena shows were no longer the big show every three weeks. It also became like Yogi said that no one goes there anymore because it is too crowded.

MLW "premium live events" will be on FITE+ streaming subscription service starting in July. I think the translation of that is MLW's TV show got cancelled.

Thanks! I just purchased a Jive Ol' Foe 12" promo for a big $2.75. I tried getting the one that is $0.99, but it was below the vendor's minimum purchase.

All of this talk of St. Marks and no one has brought up Itsuki Yamazaki's Restaurant Go. I've met many wrestling people there. Bull Nakano and Tiger Hattori many times. I took some of Wally Yamaguchi's friends there after a MSG show to hang with Wally and Bull. Madusa, Osamu Nishimura, Luna, Kaientai, LCO, Yamada and Toyota, Yoshitatsu, and others that I can't remember right now. Go closed 10 plus years ago due NYC rents. I've kept up with Itsuki and her husband and the various places they have worked at/run since then. I'm probably the only person on this board that played golf with Itsuki's husband. I remember Sounds record shop with lots of promos, cut outs and used with those damn stickers on the covers. Picked up some good punk records from Venus. 20 years after that prog CDs and cheap reggae 45s from Kim's. I was sad when Grassroots basement bar closed recently. That was a go to meeting place in the no cell phone era. Like "where the hell is he? I'll just go to Grassroots and wait there".

JYD got fat and Adonis died in a car crash.

I lost the high range hearing in my left ear from a Husker Du/Kraut show.

FMW used outdoor stadiums (and parking lots) so they could blow stuff up and play with fire. NJPW would run more if they could sell enough tickets.

Kabuki told me that he helped the Road Warriors with their facepainting technique.

I remember watching Norton in meaningless WCW tag matches. He would be very far away when his partner lost the fall. Didn't want want photos of him in the ring loosing a match to protect NJPW.

Hoshizuki Mei is back with a changed name in Stardom after her time off after trying to jump from Marvelous while under contract.

If WWE shareholders hold 49% of this merged company, how much and who has Endeavor actually paid? I can't figure it out from what I have read so far.

I wish that all of the wrestling companies banned signs. Unfortunately for me most of them have banned cameras. Pisses me off. I won't go to AEW and now MLW because of the camera ban. The sign jerks should be like Japan and hold up the signs at chin level while still seated. Down in front assholes!

Yes, I'm aware of him, Sushi, Nino Hamburgesa, etc.. That's why I was surprised that I somehow missed someone doing a Whattaburger gimmick.

The AEW quirk that bugs me is calling Jordan's, Lebron's and other basketball sneakers "tennis shoes". This weeks issue has "Guevara said he had to spend ten years on the indies and work as Whattaburger and Subway". I missed that as was a typo for at, and thought how could I have missed someone working as a fast food character.

My brain turns off any English when I try to speak Spanish. However when I don't know the Spanish word my brain substitutes Japanese verbs in the Spanish sentence. I bought a mask from Violento Jack when I went to Japan last month. Our conversation was a mix of Japanese, Spanish and English. It kind of just flowed that way. I also went to one of the Fantasctica Mania shows. Being in Japan but trying to understand all of the videos and announcing in Spanish messed me up in my head.

Hey, I always get crossed up and read DC Drake whenever someone mentions JD Drake here.

I just got back to New Jersey from a trip to see Muto's final and assorted stuff. I went to Natsu Bar after a Tiger Mask show at Korakuen. I unfortunately missed a tweet by her about the same time I left to go that she felt unwell and went home. At least I know how to get there now. Kyoko Inoue did the same thing and just her young boy was at her bar when I got there. I went around the corner to go to Noriyo Tateno's drink bar instead. Noriyo showed me some video pushing the JB Angels for the WWE HoF. She is still tight with Itsuki. The noren at Itsuki's new restaurant is a gift from Noriyo. I'm happy that I got to go there after an absence of a few years. I had thoughts of going to Kaoru Kage's restaurant on the same street, but when I went to Noriyo's, Kaoru was sitting next to me at the bar. I had the usual good times at Genki Misae's Izakaya Never Give Up. You can actually have a full meal there. I went there twice. One of the times, Kabuki and his wife called me over to sit at the table with them and some regulars from his restaurant, which used to be in the location that Misae runs now. Speaking of actual wrestling, I saw a Stardom show with 47 wrestlers followed by a Big Japan show the next day with 10 wrestlers. Actwres GirlZ at Radiant Hall was shockingly good. They have nearly all new girls because SAKI continued COLOR'S and everyone good went free when they stopped wrestling shows for a while. Check them out if you can.

Fusion appears to be gone from BeinSports.

I'm still going to the ECW arena every 3 or 4 weeks and JT Smith's championships rival Lawler's Southern title numbers.

She might have been passing. That is allowed in that area. It really freaked me out the first time I was in a car that did that down there. I actually randomly met him twice when he was doing one of his weekday jobs in Delaware. Nice guy, as everyone else has mentioned.

I just came here to say that MJF yapping is double fast forward stuff for me.

His damn haircut. I can't take him seriously just because of that. You are not irrational at all.
