Cobra Commander

with the CMLL ring girls dancing for 40 consecutive minutes as the CMLL wrestlers put the set together

Currently rebooking the 1997 NWO takeover of Nitro to be CMLL taking over Dynamite and switching the broadcast to untranslated Spanish

I guess if we didn't get the story of why Fred Ottman didn't work Summerslam 90 during the Quake/Hogan match then, we aren't getting it from anybody closer to the scene than Prichard

also, NC State would play Duke or Houston in the Elite 8

NC State in the Elite 8 just as everybody expected

looking forward to MLB finding some way to address the deferred payments thing that actually screws over fans and pushes brinksmanship in an upcoming negotiation

BTS is in March 1999 in their next episode, so you'll find out why Bart Gunn wasn't on the RAW after having his brains knocked into the Atlantic Ocean by Butterbean

1) I think a certain amount of the "Royals, dark horse contenders in the AL Central" talk is more about writers being bored and deciding the team that made some movezzz could do something. The problem is that most of the Royals moves came with pitching, and combining last years offense with Hunter Renfroe/Adam Frazier wasn't exactly gonna lead to a dramatic change there. Which is to say the Royals lost 4-1 and their one run was a leadoff homer. 1b) the Royals making moves might be sorta connected to trying to win the vote next Tuesday that'll open the door to moving from their current stadium to downtown KCMO 2) also Rhys Hoskins and Jeff McNeil got into it after a slide into 2nd today. Benches cleared. Hoskins made a "crybaby" gesture at McNeil.

Meanwhile in Uganda

obviously the main heel on Speed should be a guy who wins the Speed title and then resolves to retain it over and over with time limit draws

I figured that I shouldn’t just directly type “people who like their men to look like they model underwear” Not sure if Hook’s offense is advanced enough yet to really have Sammy bump as crazily as Sammy would have bumped for 1996 Taz, but if Sammy can avoid doing Sammy things to fuck it up, there might be some potential fun with Hook suplexing Sammy (but I’m just in the group who does not see Sammy as anything but a heel)

Having the first 6 months of Edge be a feud with Christian is what it is. Hopefully he does something more interesting when he works with the people that he hasn’t been working with for years. Although would there be a Christian sabbatical and how would this influence the usage of Killswitch/Wayne. Also, really the only way that Jericho mentoring Hook would be better than Jericho leaching off of another young guy would be if they could tell the story of Jericho being a bad influence on Hook. Oh man, a Sammy Guevara/Hook team would get over great with people who like a specific look on their men. But yeah, Hook has a bad influence and then has to kick it later? But it’s a Jericho thing it’ll probably do nothing for Hook in the end.

The crowd seemed to be pretty hot/warm for being a crowd in a market with a lot of people who don’t speak English, so they did a pretty solid job with Quebec City than they did with places like suburban Salt Lake City

watching the "Two of Hearts" music video and noticing one of Stacey Q's outfits is the yellow polka dots on black outfit that Dusty would get in the WWF a few years later https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfBdGT4dn4E impressive restraint by the WWF/WWE to employ a good chunk of the Hart family and not have some of them teamed up as "Two of Harts" (okay, Vince likely doesn't know who Stacey Q is)

and the Chiefs are signing Welsh Rugby star Louis Rees-Zammit to play RB/WR (or, play in kick returns if he sticks)

Things I remember from this week's edition of AEW Dynamite: Missed last week due to Royals Spring Training on TV. Ospreay/Shibata looked fun, Bucks/Private Party too, the women's match had Willow bulldozing people a few times, I didn't realize Mone's shirt was open and not a design for a moment, Main event was fun also we got Dustin on TV. The Butcher on TV. Dustin is facing the Butcher. The other tag match was also fun and I'm sure Bucks/Friends should be pretty solid.

what if Ernest Miller was around in the early 1980s and he could bounce from territory to territory and he didn't necessarily have to do much in the ring (at least on TV)

It’s been mentioned in other places but

A Steve Williams/Steve Blackman match where the loser has to change their hairstyle would be a fun way to spend 4 minutes on a 1999 Raw

Well best use in the category that doesn’t involve wiping out diseases in parts of the third world?

So is the GI Jane gimmick an indirect reference to Jada Pinkett Smith (and why Chris Rock got slapped) or has she had that gimmick for awhile? Her look is sort of a Grace Jones look which would be a little too out of the wheelhouse of a WOW.

Hulk Hogan doesn't like Brutus' wife For some reason, I think Missy Leslie looking sorta like Linda Hogan didn't help her case. As weird as that could sound.

meanwhile B. Brian Blair looks like he's trying to steal John Waters' look with the facial hair and outfit and I sense Brutus' story about the steroid trial is a bit exaggerated (also, out of sequence)

okay, I missed the part of this episode where Brutus' wife mentions reconnecting with Brutus after many years.. meanwhile, young blond Ed Leslie looks like a someone trying to steal Michael Hayes look without having all the other stuff

watching a WOW episode on Vice because I wanna see the 10 minutes of the Brutus episode that I missed not sure if Tiki and Chamorro are really from the same island.. some of these camera angles make it look like the ring is shaped like a rectangle. Edit: Vickie Lynn McCoy with some stellar main event commentary as Penelope Pink eats offense for awhile before hitting her finish and beating GI Jane.
