My wife and I have been trying to find old episodes of 120 Minutes on YT, there are a few but most have had to trim videos out because of copyright claims.
I've got a link to a good archive of 120 Minutes episodes. As soon as I find it I can shoot you a DM.

NXT's opening segment was fine. Tatum turning on Lyra was unexpected but not bad. Will say that the reactions Lyra got here continue to confirm she needs a change from what she is. Roxanne may have just been heeling a month or two back when she said the fans would turn on Lyra when she lost the belt, but they have rung true in the end based on reactions from tonight's crowd.
Do you think the crowd's reaction would have been different had Lyra passed out in the hold instead of tapping on Saturday?

Je'von Evans has a decent chance to be a star.
Totally agree. He needs to add a little weight but he'll be very good in NXT and, eventually, on the main roster.

Bloodsport ruled. They probably should have stopped after Shayna/Masha because that really felt like the main event in every way, but you know.
Nic Nemeth doing a Greco Roman bit was so fun and a good contrast to Speedball. Baby Regal looked great. Thatcher and Axel had a heater while the Astronauts and MiSu had a lot of fun with a casual night.
Just a real fun, breezy show.Yeah, they did the show no favors by putting on the women's tournament final and even Barnett after Shayna/Masha. That match was a great example of what Bloodsport is doing. Most of the show was well above average if you're into that sort of thing, the only match that I didn't feel worked well was Lady Frost vs. Lindsay Snow.
Nemeth using the Zig Zag in a pit fight match ruled.

The Drew eulogy for Seth was good.
When it started, I was worried that it was going to be a straight rip of the David Starr/GUNTHER promo, so I was glad to see it turn out otherwise. Drew has been pretty damn good on the mic lately.

Heel Hangman driven crazy and being a heel by Swerve fucking rules.
Can you imagine if Sting’s one son, the taller and more muscular of the two, the one who looks the most like Sting, were also a wrestler with his dad’s same charisma and ability? He’d be the biggest draw in the country. Dude is an absolute unit. It’s crazy. He’s like a fucking action figure.
In those black tees they looked like the random sins and vices from Sting, Nikita, and DiBiase's traveling ministry.

That really is crazy after seeing his cheerleading speech after Alexander-Ospreay II. I'm honestly surprised they couldn't find something to keep him around for.

Hopefully the announcement is the AEW cartoon series a la Rock & Wrestling Connection.

I did feel bad about the T-Bar chants last night.

Shame about the finish though. I'm... not sure... that a Looney Tunes gag was the right move there.
That was very much my buddy's reaction. He said it was a main event match with a finish from the Sami/Johnny Knoxville match.

EX: I am pretty sure it is in the lawsuit and not something in the media (I can’t check right this second), but the victim claims the WWE didn’t reach out to her when conducting its own internal investigation. Would the WWE — being looked at by the SEC for Vince’s payoffs along with Vince and who knows who else internally facing a criminal investigation and in the midst of a potential giant corporate merger while shopping around a billion media rights deal — be that stupid to not follow all of the internal investigation stuff to the letter of the law? Or, more accurately, would the very expensive law firm they hired to conduct the investigation put their reputation at risk to help out a wrestling company?
I thought one of the board members who left (I believe forced out) upon Vince's return disputed that and confirmed that they DID reach out to the victim. I'll try to dig up where I read that.

Well if the news on Sports Illustrated is true, I think the Rock will win the Rumble. Punk winning makes no sense unless they somehow figure how to get the RAW title on Cody. My 2nd choice is Gunther
Women seems to be pretty obvious in Becky Lynch.
Same, GUNTHER is definitely in my top two. I think it's more likely that Cody eliminates Punk and Punk pulls Cody out in frustration that either of them wins.

Dragon/Scrypts was a nice showcase for both and decent continuation of the Family/OTM feud with the brawl towards the end.
Reggie definitely came across way better than expected here.

Has anyone ever been to obscure yet pro wres identifiable town before?
I once was in Bucksnort, Tennessee.
I got within a few miles of Truth or Consequences, NM when I was on a work trip to El Paso but couldn't talk my coworker into stopping. Very disappointing.

I think it was King Kong/Fay Wray, beauty tamed beast. I know eventually turned heel on her because of her making goo goo eyes at Cowboy Scott Casey.
To be fair, who wouldn't make eyes at Scott Casey?

Toni Storm is a goddamned treasure, during the commercial break she said that Deonna Purazzo had "A fat ass and a bad attitude. Just like Orson Welles."
Between that and saying that "Purrazzo sounds EYETALIAN" having Deonna around has breathed new life into the Timeless gimmick.

The Gary Hart talk made me have to pull up this lovely promo again. "Hey bro, what it is!" and "That's dirty, Brooks!" have been in my head for years now. Watching it again, however, you realize they're talking about Mike Von Erich's shoulder separation, which led to the toxic shock, which led to the coma, which led to the suicide. Yeesh. And the guy Gary would find to complete his trio? In the words of NWA Champion Mr. Harley Race, "............KABUKI!"

Lol, Tony was doing too much but his response to Bischoff cracked me up.
Tony dropping Joan Collins on Bischoff makes up for a lot of bullshit we've all had to deal with on social media over the years.

Kind of an odd move if they keep the pick and draft Williams. Conventional wisdom is just to start fresh, but I'm not sure there's too many exciting coaching names out there right now.
Whatever keeps the Bears from sniffing around Jim Harbaugh is fine with me, even keeping Eberflus.

Love is a strong word, but I am enjoying him more each week. He is really coming into his own with this character.
I'd say this is where I'm at too. If nothing else, he's showing how badly AEW missed in his case, although part of that was definitely the depth of the roster there.

I've told this before, but Marvelous Mitch Ryder painted my living room.
I'll tell this part again since it's AEW-related: At the time, my daughter was really into NXT. She was around five-years-old. She HATED Samoa Joe (she loved Shinsuke and they were feuding), so she asked Mitch if he'd ever wrestled him. Mitch, switches right into promo mode and says, "No, darling. I've never rassled him. But if I ever do, I'll whoop him real good for you!"
Amazing.

Okay, DVDVR, I need your help. My friend and I both remember seeing a promo on non-TNA TV (I'm thinking CWUSA maybe?) for America's Most Wanted, probably around 2003-2005. Lots of the two riding horses shirtless, very reminiscent of the Fabs promos. Does anyone else have any memory of this? We've gone so long never finding the clip that my friend is starting to believe that we imagined the whole thing.
