Hi friends! Just checking in. Been a bit of a rough week in terms of weather and muscle cramps. Got about 10 inches of snow Sunday night into Monday and my poor sister had to go clear out all the snow. I'm physically incapable of shoveling snow otherwise I would've helped her. Luckily our neighbor came by with his snowblower and helped clear out the giant snowbank the city plow left behind. With the extreme cold, I started getting muscle cramps in my hip and leg nub. Tylenol and a heating pad was my friend on Tuesday when the cramps were really bad. I went out yesterday to Walgreens to get some Icy Hot for my nub and slipped going into the store. Who knew girls with crutches and one leg don't mix well with snow and ice? I was fine, just a little sore after the fall. Luckily I was buying Icy Hot anyway lol Today, my nub is better, just a dull ache but more snow (around 4 inches) is coming tomorrow afternoon and evening.

I’ll be canceling later this month anyway after I watch what I want but thanks for the heads up!

I did the same. Did the 30 day thing of NJPW World so I can watch Wrestle Kingdom and Wrestle Dynasty. Saw that New Year Dash and Battle in the Valley are included as well so that's a nice bonus. While I've got it, I'll probably check out the Okada vs. Omega matches which I've heard a lot about but never seen.

I'm REALLY glad you liked it! I think the commentary with Joe Sposto and Ian Riccaboni added a lot to the match too. You could tell they were genuinely having fun calling the match and everyone involved was having a great time.

Dominic Garrini vs. Kevin Ku (2022 Scenic City Invitational, Night 1, 8/5/22) There’s SO MANY belts between the two of these that the ring crew guy needs a wagon to haul all of them to the back. We’ve got tag team partners going at it here. Loved Dom’s urinage backbreaker. Looked like the kind of thing that, well, would break my back. Strikes and chops were deadly here. Really liked the chop exchange at the beginning of the match. This has been more based around striking and mat work, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Garrini’s chops just echo throughout the high school gym. Rotating tombstone from Garrini was insane. Finishing stretch was more what I was expecting from this, big moves and whatnot. This was a good hard hitting match but my personal preference is to see these guys as a team instead of facing each other.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays friends! Hope you all are having a great day! I've spent the day with my girlfriend, my sister and her best friend. We had our traditional Christmas spaghetti & meatballs lunch (with plenty leftover for round 2 tonight). As far as presents, I got the "Black Widow" graphic novel by Kelly Thompson, "Batman: Court of Owls" DC compact comics, some new Converse shoe(s) and the DEAN~! blu-ray. My mom sent my sister and I some money and the two of us decided to pool it together and buy a PS5.

Ooh, awesome! Thanks! I’ve been watching a lot of TWE and SCI stuff this year and really been enjoying it. Looking forward to checking this out.

I just signed up for the Hulu Live TV/Disney+/ESPN+ bundle last week after I got the email from YouTube TV about their price increase. Getting a lot more for less (thanks automatic credit since I was an existing Disney Plus subscriber). Been watching some games on and off since last week. Very excited now that I'm not fully reliant on TNT/TBS for games and I can get to watch the Devils, Flames and Oilers again.

This sounds epic. Definitely bookmarking Matt's link for later viewing.

Cool. I got a fun IWTV pick for you then. LVAC Steelstacks Showdown III (10/5/24) - The Batiri, Hallowicked, Frightmare, Ultramantis Black & Delirious vs. Clara Carreras, Tracy Williams, Wheeler Yuta, Drew Gulak, Dan Champion & Cheeseburger Match starts at 2:14:00

Works for me! @AxB I’m good with anything. What about you?

I was on there years and years ago. Forgot my old username and password for there and signed up with a new one. Just like you, my new one is stuck in approval limbo. Not that I’m too terribly bothered about it at this rate though.

You’re welcome! I’m glad you liked it!

Chiming in late but Bengals vs. Titans was extremely messy. Loads of turnovers and TN swapping out their quarterback in the second half. The good thing is the Bengals won which keeps thier ever so slim playoff hopes alive.

Yes! I watched as much of it as I could. The ZSJ match was one of my favorites. So was the match vs. Thatcher at DEAN and the retirement match against Kevin Ku. There was also one really good under the radar match against Amira from DOA Wrestling in Portland.

I totally LOVED Saturday Nights Main Event tonight! Everything was so much fun! That matches were good, the retro vibe ruled even down to the 80s style referee shirts and the two hours FLEW by! Jesse Ventura was even better than I thought he would be on commentary. Would love to see him be involved in calling big matches here and there on PLEs. Maybe they keep him just for SNME episodes? Doesn’t matter. He did great. Hard to pick a favorite match of the night so I’ll just say the whole thing was awesome! I am so pumped and excited for this show to be back.

That’s a horrible situation Curt and thank you for sharing. Please know that you can always message me if you ever need someone to talk to. Much love to you and I really, really hope things turn out ok.

You got it! I can't remember if I shared this last year or not but this is a really fun C-show match from the dying days of WCW. https://youtu.be/ySeEZIQ-5So?si=s5KohozFfW8ZlaQZ Enjoy!

Daniel Makabe vs. Zack Sabre Jr (Prestige Wrestling, Roseland 8 ) I followed Makabe’s retirement tour over the spring and summer and was really enthralled by it. I was only slightly familiar with his work but definitely gained a new appreciation for him this year. I even watched his “The Life Of …” episode on IWTV in anticipation for the match he had against Timothy Thatcher at the DEAN~!!! show. This, however, is probably the most high profile match on Makabe’s retirement tour. I watched this when it initially aired but haven’t watched it since. Makabe’s jacket is proudly representing the Four Pillars, which is awesome and I would totally buy that jacket. Two guys here who can work a technical masterpiece and I love that. You’re not going to get flash or flips or lots of fireworks. Just scrappy, technical, hard-hitting wrestling. Swapping and trading cross arm breakers on the mat. Just a thing of beauty. So far it feels like it just a bit of friendly fire. Then the strikes start. Some uppercuts from ZSJ, Makabe responds in kind. ZSJ slowly sneaking in some cheeky bits, like grabbing Makabe’s nose and stomping on the hands. Makabe nails a hard right jab and rocks ZSJ. Punches meaning something in the match here. Big suplex and gets a near fall. Christ, ZSJ absolutely smashes Makabe with a vicious soccer kick straight to the face. They’ve exchanged so many moves and holds that I don’t even know the names of but they look so painful. ZSJ ties Makabe up like a pretzel and we get the verbal tap out. Some people might get bored watching a match like this but I was up on the edge of the couch watching every single move and seeing how things built and built and built. Technical wrestling and grappling doesn’t get much better than this at that’s exactly why it’s on my favorite matches list for this year!

Yes, I was on that for a while. I didn't notice any change whatsoever in my anxiety. I was on a low dose so that's probably why. Maybe I needed a higher dose? Not sure. It messed up my sleep too and it was causing me to wake up in the middle of the night. My doctor took me off of it and eventually my sleep got back to normal. I still have anxiety (and always will) but I just deal with it at this point.

Favorite Matches of 2024 list (based on what I've seen):

Thanks for this Curt! I watched it earlier this year when the show dropped on demand but haven't seen it since so it'll be nice to refresh my memory on it.

I don’t necessarily rate or rank matches (not that there is anything wrong with that… just not my style) but I do keep an ongoing list of some of my favorites based on what I watch. My list right now is pretty long so I’ll break it up into parts and share it tomorrow.

I didn't know they were still around.

For every 10 degree temperature drop, you lose one 1-2psi in your tires. In the winter, I typically put a little more air in the tires (just 1-2psi extra) than I would if it's summer or spring. I bought a nice all-in-one Slime brand tire inflator and gauge at O'Reilly Auto Parts last year for like $35 and keep it in my trunk. It just runs off the cigarette lighter/power plug in the car. Would definitely recommend it.
