    How long is this company going to drag their feet on pushing Jamie Hayter?

    Jamie, if you're reading this, the target is no longer Britt Baker. 

    DROP TK ON THAT STACK OF DIMES HE CALLS A NECK. 

    VIA BRAINBUSTER, PLZ.

    That Anarchy in the Arena was so goddamn awesome. Eddie Kingston, man. And once I saw Bryan come out with the white T-shirt, I knew that shit was on. The visual of that team coming down through the arena with "Wild Thing" on repeat during the first part of the brawl was fuckin' magical. 

    Punk vs Hangman was a war and the right man won. 

    I usually don't like three way matches, but that tag team match was awesome. Ricky Starks is a gem, and let us not forget Keith Lee singing "Ohhh Mah Gah-ah-ahd!!!" after Ricky ate shit on the outside. He was cracking me up while he was on the apron. 

    Death Triangle vs House of Black was a ton of fun, very Dragongate/PWG with more strongth moves. Julia looks awesome. 

    Women's title match was good, but Rosa can be a little awkward at times. Sucks, because she's got the fire and charisma that I can't help but get behind. 

    I have no idea why they put Darby out there in a match with hardly any build just to take the loss when everyone knows he's out there trying to die with his boots on in every match. KOR does NOT need to be beating Darby, period. Ever. 

    Adam Cole and Britt Baker did not need to win these tournaments. This was a missed opportunity on both fronts. 

    Jade vs Anna was a little rough. It's awesome that Athena and Stokely are in, but when you can visibly see Statlander getting slid over to Red Velvet to make room for Athena when the fans turned on Ruby for winning just three days ago...yeah. That's really not reading the room, but hopefully, Jade gets past Athena and Stat claims that belt. 

    I watched the mixed tag to see how PVZ would do. Sammy and Tay were so insufferable it wasn't worth it. Shoulda taken a smoke break. 

    Overall, the middle of the PPV was awful. That, combined with the MJF situation and trying to accommodate the NBA playoffs for some reason, leaves a lot to unpack that I might try to post about later. It's ni-night time, though. 
     

    The last three matches made this show and were worth the price of admission, so I ain't mad at it at all.

    Hey, as long as Ruby drops Britt on her goddamn dome like I told her to when I met her at Comic Con, I'm good. 

    Sucks about the crowd reaction, but hey, Stat cut the promo of her life and she gon' git that TBS title.

    They got vacuumed at roughly around the same time. I can't remember exactly how long Walt was in New Hampshire, but it was long enough that the family house had fallen into disrepair. It is entirely possible that Gene time happens while Walt is still alive.

    What happened with Hook and Team Taz is that Team Taz are heels and NO ONE wants to boo Hook. 

    Hook gets to still be Hook. He also gets to stick up for someone who's getting pushed around by a dude who names one side of his abs Paul Roma and the other Tom Zenk. The fans are also getting what they want. It's a program that is proving to be pretty entertaining while giving Hook an opportunity to learn without thrusting him into a position he's not ready for.

    He was a very close friend of mine since 7th grade. 

    I am numb. 

    What brought us together was 7th grade math. He was sitting next to me one day, and had a Savage Dragon comic on his desk and was drawing a Megadeth logo on his folder. I did a double take that almost broke my fucking neck. I basically told him "WE'RE FRIENDS AND I'M COMING OVER THIS WEEKEND" and that was that. 

    Y'all probably know him through his music and his death metal Rain Man writings and podcast appearances. It was no act. I've never met anyone hungrier for music of just about every stripe than him. His CD collection is quite possibly the most complete physical history of death metal on Earth. If you put out an album, no matter what remote scene on this planet, you were not safe. He was coming for you and your band. There are quite a few bands whose trajectory was completely altered due to his fandom. 
     

    That, in and of itself, is humanizing. It does not capture how sweet he was. A lot of my favorite memories of him revolve around food. We'd be sitting cross-legged on his floor, snacking usually on White Cheddar Cheez-Its, and he'd reach over and say "Summa dis" and feed me by hand. He did this all the time and it never really hit me how caring and gentle it was until he was gone. We'd go to Tubby's and the rule was that I'd get my sub and he'd get his and then we'd trade halves. He loved those hunter's sausage two-packs with the freeze dried cheese. Using empty Country Crock tubs for cereal bowls. That "Heartburn" tattoo? I didn't even know what it was until we became friends. 

    I go between sobbing and then 90 seconds later laughing my ass off at something he did or said. I don't know that my words can really do his humor justice. Just know that he was the funniest person I've ever known and it's that humor that's getting me through this. 

    I stayed in our hometown for a few days last week with a couple of lifelong friends of ours. We kept each other safe and reminisced and cried and bonded. We went to Motor City Comic Con to avoid reality for a while, but still, it was really hard. I walked by a booth that was playing "Wish You Were Here" and almost lost it. 

    I did meet Ruby Soho, though. I got a photo taken with her and told her what was up. That wrestling has been my security blanket since I was five and just thanks and say thanks to the boys and girls for everything. She came 'round and gave me a hug, asking me if it was okay first. It really meant a lot, going above and beyond like that. She was really sweet and commented on my friend and I's T-shirts. (Black Flag for me and Obituary for him.)  I went back the next day so his twin brother could get stuff autographed by Alicia Silverstone and decided to get something for Ruby. It was pretty light on wrestling there this year, so the best I could muster was a couple packs of WCW '91 trading cards. I dropped them off and said thank you again and asked if she was gonna be at Dynamite in Detroit. A fistbump to confirm and may she drop Britt Baker on her fucking dome. 

    Wrestling has always been there for me, much the same way music has. I've got the 92 Yearbook on as I type this. Gonna watch last week's Dynamite and Rampage later. I've been more active on this board as of late and it's been great to just shoot the shit about our great sport. Thanks for cultivating this board. You know who you are. And thanks for posting and giving me something to read. Like I told Ruby, every little thing matters a whole lot more now, and everything carries more weight. I need all the support I can get, and honestly, just y'all being here like it's 6:05 eastern time every damn day is enough. 

    Thank you.

    It's "The Legend of." In the intro to the video, he even says it's about more than what happens on the court. It's the story of these players and what they represent. 

    Judging from that intro, looks like Pistol Pete, Grant Hill and Yao Ming are gonna get episodes. Love all those players, but I wouldn't call any of them legends in the way that Kareem, Larry or Magic are. 

    I wish I could say that about Grant Hill. ?
