S.K.o.S.

I heard there's an LFI vs. Workhorsemen match. Is the LFI team Rush and Dralistico?

I liked the show quite a bit. Good Dynamites are more "there were some good angles and segments" than "we got three MOTYCs" now, which is not what I'd prefer, but still.

It stands for Deadlock! The podcast guys got enough Patreon money to start their own indie fed.

Yes, Dynamite is on Tuesday next week

The "Early life" section of Edge's Wikipedia article says: "He has said to have never met his father, or even seen a picture of him". If you never knew your father, you'll never know whether he's dead.

I think he said a few days ago that he's not going to watch it - which would be too bad, because even if someone thought it was terrible they would still have to admit it was a very interesting match. My take on it is that, as much as people are saying they did, they didn't actually flip the face-heel alignment in any meaningful way. Hangman acknowledged that he was getting booed, and Swerve might have started using some flashier offense than he normally would have, but they had the same match they were going to have regardless of what the crowd did. I really liked the match, and I really liked that Swerve won, but I thought it suffered for them not being able to change things up on the fly.

New wrestling crossword! 2nd one this month, and the biggest one ever.

Oh, I should have mentioned I've got a bunch of invites as well.

This is a big part of what's keeping me on there (and thank you porksweats for doing the work to make sure people are aware of it)

So The Z, John from Cincinnati, and The Natural are the prize-winners. I'll be in your DMs at some point this weekend. Gotta look into getting region 2 DVDs for the Europeans...

Uh oh I forgot I need to update this. Will try to get it done today.

WrestleTix on Twitter has it as slightly over 2,500. They filled up the hard cam side, but there are pics of the full arena that look very bad. The only reason I can suggest is that so many big shows so fast is burning people out, and at the same time the shows that aren't big shows seem that much less important to attend.

Mailing out a money order and waiting a month and a half for tapes to get delivered, then watching them and being like "fuck, this match isn't THAT good"

Not sure if he had an actual list but I think Drew Gulak mentioned quite a few names

Thank you for solving them every time!
