Pete

Up and walking around two days later. Yowza.

He beat Brooklyn Brawler to open the last live wrestling show I ever saw with my dad. Same show had Backlund's return so it was the biggest Garden crowd in years (over 12,000).

Best part of this clip. GO!

Funny, it doesn't look like a Liverpool top. ZING!

And he's gone.

Here are Ronnie Garvin and Greg Valentine beating the unholy dogshit out of each other.

Hell, even in Montreal you could walk right onto the field at McGill as of a few years ago. Folks were using the running track.

I'd imagine it has to do with the local football culture... to plenty of Alabamans outside any of the big cities, Tuscaloosa and Auburn ARE Los Angeles. It's like football Mecca. And don't get me wrong... there was plenty of good looking trim in Austin.

I can see not wanting to live in LA, but Austin may be the coolest city I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. I went down there for spring break one year in college (my roomie was dating a girl who went there)... somewhere there's photos of me bopping around the 50-yard line at Memorial Stadium after we literally walked in through an unlocked gate and onto the field.

Preach it. Years ago I was flying home from San Diego Comic Con and had a stopover in Houston, so I grabbed a copy of Dave Campbell's Texas Football from the newsstand. It previewed every football team in the state. Every. Single. Team. From the Cowboys and Texans down through FBS, FCS, Division 2, 3, NAIA, jucos... through the powerhouse high school programs... to the hundreds of schools playing six-man football. That fucker had to be at least 600 pages.

Pretty sure those last two matches were on the same night, across town from each other.

Somehow Blackmore's hat is the trippiest part of that entire image.

Considering they sold more tickets in their first week than the AAF did for their entire season...

Buzz is it will take place at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood.

Kind of surprised they aren't giving Nakanishi a singles match on the tour. Then again, that might be his call if he doesn't think he can pull one off (last 1-on-1 match I have him in is against Yoshi Hashi last March in the NJ Cup).

Tennessee State throwbacks are something else.

The WSL Merseyside Derby has been postponed as well, which they were expecting 20,000 fans for.
