  1. Really, if not for the whole desire to end the show with Mone, they should have ended the night with the implosion of Bang Bang Scissor Gang. Putting Joe's title defense that early in the show was sort of an "angle alert" thing which really didn't lead to much of an angle aside from a reminder that "Swerve still wants to get Joe". This probably isn't just a AEW thing, but TV main events almost exist in an isolation chamber where you don't see the people in that match until just before they go on.
  2. the dancing I remembered from last night was more about the hand movements
  3. The QHs are probably online somewhere, but I suspect that 801k for last night was probably not helped by how the show was laid out and the whole "oh yeah, our main event is this, just telling you a few minutes beforehand" thing. That's not a specific shot at Willow/Riho, I suspect any main event that was handled like that would have went over like that in the ratings.
  4. Jerry Stackhouse apparently on the way out at Vandy
  5. Montana State wins the Big Sky tournament by 15 in a intrastate rivalry game. Montana State is now 17-17, so the fun of crushing the hopes of your bitter rival in a title game
  6. Sometimes when you listen to WSM outside of their "all-vintage country music" hours (from Midnight to like 4am), you end up hearing a Country song from 2002 and liking it. This sound being Daryle Singletary's cover of "Old Violin" (with a near death Johnny Paycheck on the recording): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pooAyura-cw
  7. so what's the best possible feud that'll involve a heel mimicking Mercedes' dancing?
  8. Things I Remember From This Week's Edition of AEW Dynamite: Mercedes Mone is here, as was made perfectly obvious weeks ago. Wardlow's minipush is probably over. Watch them bring back MJF not have him actually do anything with Wardlow. Okada was in action, I didn't really pay much attention. Bullet Club Gold is evil again. That Lion/Hook submission double team was probably better on paper than reality Oh no, Hook vs Jericho, RUN HOOK RUN, DO SOMETHING TO GET KEPT OUT OF CANADA SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORK WITH JERICHO FOREVER You know it's a special occasion when they actually have women main event AEW Dynamite. That special occasion being "starting and ending the show with Mone" We'll hear from Mercedes Mone next week, but we just heard from her this week.
  9. and the winner of the Dylan Cease sweepstakes is... .... ..... the San Diego Padres for some reason
  10. 3 autobids up tonight Patriot League: Lehigh at Colgate. Lehigh is sub-.500 and is down by double digits at the moment Southland: McNeese beat Nicholls in the rare "Conference Tournament final on a Wednesday Afternoon" Big Sky: Montana State plays Montana later tonight
  11. Kenny Payne doubled his win total and got fired granted he doubled his win total from 4 to 8
  12. I was about to write about the idea of Bagwell working Memphis and what he could have done with Brian Christopher, and then I went to CageMatch and found that there was 3 matches involving Bagwell and Brian Christopher Brian Christopher/Ernest Miller vs Bagwell/Stevie Ray in Australia for WWA. Brian Christopher vs Buff Bagwell at the Nashville Fairgrounds in 2002. Brian Christopher vs Buff Bagwell at the Fed-Ex Forum in Memphis in 2007 (same show as Hogan vs Paul Wight) Now, I don't know if any of those matches were any good, but it feels like it would be an amazing BS fest to have those two doing their posing and other shtick against each other.
  13. oh yeah, there's also a Bagwell family method to slapping people, which sounds like somebody describing their madeup martial art before they get wiped out in under 2 minutes at UFC4
  14. the newest autobids are.. Charleston, Oakland, Wagner, South Dakota State unless they choke a 12 point lead in 4 minutes, and St. Mary's.
  15. Things I Remember From the Buff Bagwell episode of Dark Side of the Ring: Judy Bagwell ran a business! Boy, that kinda puts a different light on the wrestling dudes crapping on Buff for letting Judy handle his business (well.. just wait) Buff's dad really really looks like a retired stockcar driver. The whole situation around them is "rednecks who happened to find money" (remember that Marietta was a pretty rich Atlanta suburb). Buff shot his dad and his dad said "it was my fault" Buff was working as a stripper before wrestling, and then Missy Hyatt found him, because of course she did. Buff had tag team partners, one after the other. Scorp is a hilarious interview. Also, he got calf implants and that went badly. And he did Cinemax-quality movies. And Buff's mom was shaving his balls. So anyways, he turns heel and breaks out after years as a candyass babyface. Then he breaks his neck, and WCW burns money by not keeping him as a face for longer. But this was WCW in 1998 and they were burning money on a variety of bad ideas. Then his mom keeps making appearances on WCW TV. The Buff/Booker match being in Tacoma really was somebody trying to fuck them over from the start. Also, Buff was outrednecked by trying to fight Shane Helms and Helms unleashing a frozen water bottle on Buff's head. After 2001, things go array in a variety of ways. Then Buff goes on a Gigolos show and doesn't realize that he's not supposed to fuck a woman on the show. Although to be fair, he didn't get it up so it was achhhh-tingggg. Then he becomes a real gigolo. I should note that Buff's 2nd or 3rd wife, I think his 3rd, has the same name as his mom. Anyways, one of his gigolo clients falls in love with him and that destroys his marriage Buff really is like Tiger King without the acumen to keep zoo animals alive. Also his mom died of dementia. So anyways, they found Scotty Riggs and things might be sorta moving in the right direction. But it's Buff, so who really knows. I get the sense that you could simultaneously hate and love Buff Bagwell. If he had been born a county or two to the west, south, or north of Cobb County, he would have been sort of a local legend, the town's dumb redneck who didn't realize that Mt. Dew doesn't cause infertility as he knocked up a random girl. There's probably a certain amount of what Buff says that is actually total bullshit but he tells it well enough that you can believe it.
  16. The Ravens signing Henry after the AFC title game is one of those reaction moves that works great if you overlook that Henry hasn’t gained 100 yards in a playoff game since Covid was just starting in January 2020 (his last 3 playoff games have been sub-100 yard rushing games) So could get a postseason game where the main takeaway postgame is that “shoulda ran Henry more”
  17. And as anticipated by some, Derrick Henry to the Ravens
  18. Also, Meng not having watched WCW from the year before he started working for WCW is very plausible.
  19. Insisting on flying in and out of Bulgaria to make AEW TV spots where he never jobs would be one way Miro could milk that contract a little
  20. one thing about when Tenta was released by the WWF that i've suspected but I haven't read confirmation of is that the WWF cut several large-ish guys right around the time that they brought in Paul Wight Wight debuts on February 14th, 1999 Giant Silva didn't work a WWE match after February 16th Tenta's last Golga match was February 21st Kurrgan was gone on February 28th 1999 WWF wasn't exactly known for deep precise planning, but I think there might be a reason why they decided to just drop the stable of giant dudes not doing much in order to not overshadow Big Show
  21. oompa loompa, hey roodie poo, The Rock has another question for you The Rock being Willy Wonka in 2005 still seems more normal than how Michael Jackson thought he could get a studio to make a movie where he played Willy Wonka in the 2000s (unfortunately for our curiosity, Michael Jackson probably had a will, unlike Prince, so they haven't found and released Michael Jackson's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" soundtrack)
  22. reading the Wikipedia entry about the 2005 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: instead of Oompa Loompa songs, the Rock would cut promos on the kids after they fall into chocolate rivers, or turn into blueberries, or fall into a garbage disposal, or get shrunk by a teleportation device (yes I know it wouldn't have worked like that)
  23. Conference tournament title games for Tuesday: CAA - Charleston vs Stony Brook (1 vs 7) Horizon- Oakland vs Milwaukee (1 vs 6) Northeast- Wagner at Merrimack (6 vs 2) Summit- South Dakota State vs Denver (1 vs 7) WCC- St. Mary's vs the winner of Gonzaga/San Francisco because I didn't want to wait until the end of that game to make this post Edit: it's St. Marys vs Gonzaga for the WCC title, as per usual
  24. James Madison and Samford are going to the tournament
  25. the Chiefs punter Tommy Townsend is on his way to the Houston Texans
