Dreamer's shriek of agony after Lawler caned him DOWN THERE still chills me to the bone every time I hear it. In retrospect it's a miracle he could perform any husbandly duties with Beulah, much less have two kids.

Good win for Dnipro, but they shouldn't get complacent yet. Need to take everything Juande at a time...

Peterson died back in the early 90s. Motorcycle crash IMSMR.

Not even. That may have been the worst penalty ever. Neuer didn't bite on the slow run up, committed and then stopped mid dive, tied his shoes, reached up and gently batted the shot away. When it comes to bad penalties, I remember this one: Cardiff City vs. Leicester City in the 2010 Championship Semi-Final second leg. I remember the Leicester players consolling the other Leicester player who missed a penality but nobody went to Kermorgant. Always remember that for the Cardiff keeper going the wrong way yet still having the time to reach out and boop it away.

Was tempted to do that too, but I picture YOUNG LIONS Gilbert and Hennig pulling the upset over them. It'd be a fun tag match to open a 1982 MSG house show.

I could see Bruiser/Crusher vs Ladd/Brody tearing down the house in Indianapolis. Figuratively and quite possibly literally.

Roberts/Angel vs JYD/Colonel Buck would've been a fun MSW feud. I could see them trading the Louisiana tag belts a handful of times.

I'm picturing Brusier Brody with a beret and a loaf of bread.

Heh. I'm old and I remember when the VFL (I still call it the VFL) was the first pro league ESPN had access to... when WCE came into existence it was so cool finally having a club to root for without 100 years of backstory or whatever.

Hokey smokes, when was that from?

I predict this will be our most depressing tourney ever. EDIT: Pretty sure Jerry Brown is still alive...

Think you forgot to include Irwin/Studd vs Adams/Yoko.

ER is at the Izod Center, not Seattle. We got local promos for it and everything. So that kills the local angle.

You think everyone is Tim Horner. He just thinks they're neat is all...

BARRACKING for the Eagles here.

I'll bet they did...

I'll always remember the 1995 RSPW/ECW Con for Mick's dumbfounded reaction to that as he bummed someone's WON in the hotel lobby. "Mabel won King of the Ring? Mabel?"

Cos the main event at mania wasn't going to get shat on from day dot. The E fucked up, plain and simple. So they've given the fans the (second [hi punk, hows retirement treating ya?]) best alternative. Yes, he's in the chamber, all well and good, But he'll probably be screwed out of that by Citizen Kane. Thats a two month+ build to a grudge match with people who have shown to have chemistry together. Like Matt D says, put em in a gimmick match like a cage or a cell, so Kane cant get away, and you've got a fucking barnstormer of a match. With bryan fillng the anti-authority route left behind by CM "can't do anything about it from my couch in chicago" Punk. I'm really looking forward to the match at mania. But Kane vs Bryan isn't even the second best alternative here if you're building to Mania. Kane isn't the final boss in the scenario they've been playing out since August... Trips is.

Problem with that is you're looking at the prospect of 75,000 fans who won't want to see Bryan in that match come Mania. They'll cheer him like crazy then shit on the main event to Biblical proportions.

Exaggeration or did that actually happen? Tenryu's done it a couple of times with (I think) Fujinami and Kojima. Just full-on punching them in the face multiple times. Think he did it to Fujinami on one of the Dome shows.

Even if it topped out at 80-90, still impressive as hell. And think of that visual if he did it at Mania with all the cameras popping.

Make 'em say MELLLLLLTZ: Yeah, color me giddy.

Fuck, that second goal is a killer. I had hopes that we might sneak a result in the return match, but that's looking borderline impossible now,
