Curt McGirt

If we are getting this match in the Bash series then we are in for a treat. It's '87, but worth showing the photos that just popped up on Facebook. From Reunion Arena in Dallas: The page was Book Pro Wrestlers by Steve Stasiak, which I don't follow but probably should, it just showed up in my random feed.

If you're watching all of these could you kind of compare the ones that are the same on multiple cards for us? Like I would prefer to see a better version of the six-man tag or the strap instead of a lesser one. I'm of course gonna go ahead and compare the Taped Fists.

I had to think a minute and then go look it up, but it was worth it. Christ, I haven't seen the movies in years. I DID see the sequel in the last year or so on TV though, and it's still really good. I always thought it was the better one too.

You guys like Ice Road Truckers shit as much as us down here? My folks eat that right up. You'd think that actually dealing with stuff like that on a regular basis might dim the appeal -- but then again it IS big views of calamity and humanity has never been able to turn those down. What is Bowens good at in-ring? Is he just a solid hand? Is there any thing we can work with here aside from getting rid of the stupid gear and the nicknames? (I for one liked the Open Challenge as well, haven't seen it in a week or two though. I thought maybe they shuffled him to ROH or something, where he belongs.) Here's a thought: if you get them back together, have Bowens as muscle and Caster as just manager, a little buzzing mosquito being a shit. But please... no more rapping.

I can totally see Melvin Van Peebles taking his kid aside and saying "Let's fuck this accent up so bad on purpose! None of these dumb white motherfuckas is gonna say a word. Just watch." They come onto set. Day one finishes. Melvin looks over at Mario sideways after they cut and whispers "See? What'd I say?" And they just start laughing.

I'm not sure if the fans noticed the fire, it was so close. You kinda have to actually throw it, nawmean? But from our perspective that looks pretty nasty. You can definitely think of Vince saying "GODDAMMIT PAL HE CAN'T TALK AND THAT LOOKED LIKE SHIT", and getting mad at whoever came up with it... probably Cornette. Plus it is so very not a New Generation type spot.

TBH I haven't read the details on the case besides reading I think a Guardian article so I could see some courtroom sketches and dip my toe into just how disgusting it is. What I meant was "power and degradation" on a non-consentual level, which, in another TBH for me, I tend to associate with "non-consentual" as far as sex is concerned. I understand that everyone has different concepts of consentual sex but to me that starts to evoke a reach. (Obviously, they would have excused me from jury duty for this one.)

Well do you expect them to eat Cocoa Pebbles and then go get inspired by Picasso's Brown Period and paint their apartment using human shit?

So, just reunite with his former tag partner? He really broke down -- like really broke down -- the match in Way AEW Edition. He says he had Hanger watch Cody Garbrandt vs. T.J. Dillashaw in UFC as an influence, for example. I don't want to give away what Phil went out of his way to get printed but lets just say he gives his personal insight into AEW style and psychology within matches, not only in this chapter but throughout the book, and it's really fuckin' cool.

He was stiff as fuck and had mad charisma. And he was from Atlanta, Canada! The issue is the Flair feud. People thought he was a (hands of) stone midcarder and not on Flair's level.

You always gotta take in mind that the weather in this movie is bringing out the worst in everybody, even Radio, who seemed the type to just stay mute and let things slide off his back. And of course the destruction of Sal's is representative of the LA Riots. That was always viewed as people burning down their own houses, when it was really people robbing businesses that took their money and gave little back to the community. (Of course, cops drew the line at Beverly Hills and let the rest of the city burn.)

Oh man, the spot in that cage tag where Condrey is gonna piledrive Magnum and Magnum goes up for it then just falls back down to his feet while Condrey bumps on his ass is priceless. It's so goofy it would work in CHIKARA and so simple it could be done by a backyarder, would have always been good for a laugh, but I can't ever recall seeing it.

Good god, apparently I can't count either 30 SECOND. (and yeah, I really can't count... I can't even long divide)

I must've missed this; anyway, my review for anybody else is in the WWE News thread. You really really really should watch this match; I did twice already and could go another. I didn't notice how much actual cheating wrestling happens here from both guys at first, and the return of the bucket of water from the start to finish the match is some brilliant shit. Of course this "suffers" from the We Can't Count In Wrestling thing that every match involving rounds or time limits does, because there isn't a single actual 30 minute rest period in this; at least Tommy gets the ten-counts right, it seems. He also really serves the match with trying to keep this shit together.

They don't want it to be so obvious that Hangman is going over. Doing a good job of it too, looks like.
