There was talk of an instrumental ALL record around the early 2000's. It was supposed to be ALL meets Mahavishnu Orchestra with a Miles Davis' Second Great Quintet influence on the songwriting. I was REALLY REALLY stoked for it, but for a lot of reasons, it never came together. Supposedly, some stuff was tracked, but it'll likely never see the light of day.
Fugazi's sessions with Steve Albini for the In On the Killtaker were a minor legend for a while, but that's easily available despite never being officially released. It's cool to hear, but I can see why they shelved it. Albini's approach doesn't really work for Fugazi and the songs weren't fully formed yet.

The women's tag gets a full WCW Worldwide point from me. I really liked how the heels worked good heat without popping the crowd with spots and just mauled the spunky babyfaces.
This. I went to the show in Detroit a couple weekends ago and that was the first thing that stood out to me: The heels wrestled like heels. There were hardly any big spots in the first half of the show, but the matches got heat and the character work was over. It was such a simple, stripped down approach that I wish I saw more of. Then, towards the end of the show, when the big spots happened, it seemed they got more of a reaction. That show RULED. The only thing that stopped it from being more fun than the last time they came through was the fact that I was dead tired from not getting enough sleep the night before. I'm not used to matinees and I sleep in too late.

Ha! Yeah. I was like "Pipe Dream? Ooookay."
I'm at the very tail end of Arkham Knight and have been playing the crap out of it. There are a lot of similarities, but it's actually a big adjustment switching over to Spider-Man. I've been getting my ass kicked a lot, which I didnt really see coming.
Web swinging is the damn truth. Especially at night.

The game store down the street from me put their Spider-Man stock up for sale a day early. Download has about thirty minutes left. I'll be postin' later.

I'm going to the Detroit show on Sunday. The last time they came through smoked the ROH War of the Worlds show.

Kyle O'Reilly trying to figure out a new chord on his belt guitar during the UE promo got a damn good chuckle outta me.
This episode moved a lot of things forward and did it so efficiently. There's zero fat on these episodes lately.

Odds that Gene Simmons sues the WWE after watching Shayna wearing a KISS shirt are listed as even.
That shirt RULES.
Love the fact that Shayna doesn't wear her own merch.

Best way to get your wheels under ya in UFC? Beat the brakes off CM Punk repeatedly. Stoppage via leg kicks just for the hell of it.

19 minutes ago, Captain Kronos said:Listen to this chorus. It's all shouty and busy and overproduced. This is basically the model for all mainstream country music today.
Ha! Totally. There are soooo many parallels between hair metal and mainstream country.
And yeah, Carr played that song perfectly. Without him, that song ends up as the B-side to How Can We Be Lovers?

Yeah, Eric Carr was cool. He was a far better fit than Peter Criss ever was.
That Faster Pussycat song came out when my parents were going through their divorce, so that was my fucking JAM for a while when I was a kid.
Love the fact Michael Bolton co-wrote Forever.

Don't Go Away Mad rules. That whole album is awesome.
Kiss put out SO MUCH garbage during the 80s. It was all downhill after Lick It Up. Plus, Gene's look was fucking atrocious for ten years straight. He had some outfits that even Enuff Z'Nuff wouldn't touch. Kiss didn't figure it all out, period, until Revenge came out.

Threw on a random episode and it starts off with The Outsiders shoving around Schiavone and Larry. Then Scott Hall calls out the Faces of Fear.
All I could think was "Buddy, you are dumber than a sack of bricks."

I'm looking forward to more of the Cruel Tutelage of Nikki Cross.
Also, uhhh...Kona Reeves is mean as fuck in the ring.

A running one-hander off the goddamn glass.
I mean...fuck. He, like, said hi to Tim Duncan, Kareem, and Jordan on that one.
And that's the best I can come up with, because it might be wrong.I just can't really explain it and do it justice.
Fucking BEAUTIFUL. That shot reminds you why you watch basketball.

If you can come through on the mic- even if Kai and Martin would destroy them in the ring, they're doing the gimmick better.
To paraphrase what I wrote earlier about Michael Hayes, sometimes the name is enough. The Glamour Girls looked like Patty and Thelma.
Then they beat your ass like Patty and Thelma would.
They weren't required to do promos. There is little to no evidence saying that they couldn't. I'd err on the side of them being able to. Ain't lookin' to catch a lit Virginia Slim to the eye.

Also, maybe the IIconics can outpromo the Glamour Girls, but the GG's would beat the damn breaks off of them. They smoke the IIconics in the ring, flat out. And though they weren't really required to do promos, I'm guessing Leilani Kai and Judy Martin knew how to hype up a match at the Omni or whatever.

even the pro- Martin fans will say she did a lot of wrestling in her stalling and her heel tactics, not just her in-ring work.
Ummm, stalling and heel tactics are in-ring work.

Bottom line is, Leilani Kai and Judy Martin will stomp your narrow ass into the blacktop. Ya feel me? If not, take it up with them and see where it gets ya.

When it comes to the Glamour Girls gimmick and them not talking...I dunno, maybe a bad example because he could talk 'em into the building, but Michael Hayes was Purely Sexy on that "Headlining over Krokus at the State Fair" level, nah mean?

Star Lord's line about Jesus had me HOWLING. Fuck, that was awesome. Even better that I laughed loudest and I could tell it bummed some people out.

Haha! It's not completely out of the realm for them, though. If you've ever heard their song "Birds," that was probably going to be the gist of it, just with a lot more improvisation and soloing. Bill Stevenson has also done a few interviews talking about being really into the era of jazz from Miles' Four and More through Mahavishnu's Birds of Fire.
