The Nikita Koloff rule ("Stay on your feet or bye bye push") was definitely in effect with Omos. Observation, not complaint.

WWE's answer to the Exploding Barbed Wire match might be them using it as a deterrent for anyone who makes an acceptance speech longer than 7 minutes.

I think it was Jericho's podcast where Pat told the story about how one day early in his tenure in California that Roy Shire confronted him about his sexuality and Patterson confirmed it and said he wouldn't do anything to have it be an issue, punctuated by "...and I worked there for another 15 years." And this was pre-Stonewall, let alone what a pro wrestling locker room had to be on that front at the time.

Really really REALLY well laid-out match from start to finish.

RE: Curb: Early lock for my 2020 Fantasy Football team name: The Jets Killed Carl.

If no one was willing to save Ricky Steamboat from any of the times he was almost murdered in 1985-86, then no one's character is going to be saved, period.

WWF kicked off an angle that was arguably their best long-term storytelling and as a bonus spat $1000 bills from 1987-89 based on this premise.

And while I don't think the Vachon wedding is necessarily better, it has a level of anarchy that will never ever be seen again on WWE TV. It's like a Muppets segment.

The clip of Braun marching around the corner is equal parts hilarious and terrifying. THAT is a Level 5 "I question my life choices" moment.

Literally my first thought was Rey Mysterio as #30 and how he got booed out the building and thinking, "They've killed Ali dead as a babyface by putting him in this spot". But to his credit, he got the crowd back after they got over Kofi not being there. To someone else's point there's not a lot of guys who COULD have done that.

The moral and what will ultimately be the climax of the Shield story is simple: Family is fucking complicated. And when you think it in those terms, none of it is implausible.

I did NOT agree to have feels at the end!

Tommy Dreamer as Chunk murdered me.

Hi. Remember me? So... I've been away from the board for a good while. For the last year I've been working in Paducah, KY...which just this week I parlayed into a job offer in Chicago. ...where I haven't actually been in years. Looking for general eecommendations, etc. Also, if there's any groups from here that go to Indy shows in the Chicagoland area (AEW, etc), I'd love to be a tagalong, my schedule permitting. But that aside, what is stuff that I should know about (stores, food, etc)?

Ah, but you're looking for logic in a mind (character wise) where it doesn't exist. That's the point. Even if Ambrose turning on Rollins isn't justified, in his mind it is.
