  1. Coincidentally, I watched the 8-21-89 episode of Prime Time Wrestling yesterday. Rude took on Tim Horner. Rude gave Horner loads of offense, and did his classic atomic drop sell twice; once for the regular version and the other for the inverted version.
  2. I’m guessing that they are building to something with El Hijo Del Fantasma only speaking Spanish thus far (he speaks English fluently, although heavily accented) and fighting off the plucky masked abductors twice.
  3. If you train grappling or BJJ, be careful on whom you apply the sugar hold on. MMA guys and most former amateur wrestlers are cool with it. The “gentle art” guys will scream that it’s an illegal neck crank.
  4. This is the sugar hold. Bob Roop, Ron Fuller, Jack Brisco, and other shooters would use the hold on marks who wanted a tryout at the snake pit in Tampa during the 70s.
  5. The Network uploaded a bunch of new Superstars from 1993. The February 6th episode featured a Beverly Brothers match where they spiked the poor job guy on his head during the finish. Not quite as nasty as the Cham Pain match, but it was hard to watch nonetheless.
  6. Tiger Mask W ACH wrestled as Tiger the Dark Brady Boone competed as Fire Cat for Herb Abrams UWF after leaving the WWF (Bobby Bradley took over the Battle Kat gimmick as mentioned above)
  7. Did you know that Mean Mike was 80s perennial WWF job guy Mike Richards? He was one of the first victims of Killer Khan’s green mist. All of that was before he went to the AWA and became one of the Texas Hangmen.
  8. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCinSnCQjKp-QBoZqMDDrkFg This was posted in the indie thread, but it deserves more eyes on it. After nine years, Jeff Katz’s Wrestling Retribution Project has finally seen the light of day. The results are... interesting. So many big names under different personas. Colt Cabana is Punchline, Timothy Thatcher is BBC, Kenny Omega is Scott the Cornerstone Carpenter. Hey, if you can’t get enough of Luther in AEW, you can catch him here as Father Dante.
  9. “Christopher Daniels, you aren’t the first out of touch old man not to believe in me, but you’ll be the last.” Brodie Lee taking a shot at VKM.
  10. Attended my first NXT show in Oshkosh, WI last night. Everyone was totally in house show mode, but it was fun. I was shocked with how over Rhea was, especially with the older teenage goth-alternative-fringe girls. It kind of reminded me of how the disgruntled youth took to Raven in the late 90s.
  11. I’m surprised you didn’t mention Nakamura. I think he was legitimately injured on the powerslam on the piano. I tuned in solely for the Mandy and Otis storyline. At this pace, they are definitely stretching it out to WrestleMania. I assumed Dolph was behind everything, but now I’m leaning towards Dolph and Sonya being in cahoots.
  12. Is it blasphemy if I say that Arn’s DDT was better than Jake’s?
  13. He may blame himself for being out of position, however that’s completely different than “Hey Joe, I want you to make the muscle buster look extra devastating on me.”
  14. Going back to the Tyson Kidd injury, has this statement ever been verified? This board is the only place I’ve ever heard it, and it’s been reported as truth ever since. It’s kinda like the Jimmy Valiant glass table story, but I’m not going there.
  15. He reminds me of Ed, the crazy hyena from The Lion King.
  16. My guilty pleasure is watching The Steiner Brothers toss big dudes around like they are lightweights on the Network and NJPW World.
  17. Seeing Regal pictured with Kojima and Nagata would lead some to believe that WWE and NJPW will have a working agreement.
  18. NXT has a house show in Oshkosh, WI in a couple of weeks. It looks like they have only sold a few hundred tickets in an arena that has a 3,500 seat capacity. NXT is running Milwaukee the day before, and only SRO tickets remain for that show. Oshkosh is an odd choice. I’m a little surprised NXT didn’t try running Madison, LaCrosse, or Rochester since their Sunday show is in St. Paul.
  19. They did an angle with Mike Davis prior to the bungee match. Mike did a slingshot bungee launch from the ground. He was catapulted into the sky and when he was lowered to the ground, he showed off the “moon rock” he snatched. Man, I loved Global.
  20. I’m shocked that you don’t list Bandido’s finisher as your least favorite spot, especially since you watch ROH TV. Even Sabu thinks the 21Plex is too contrived.
  21. This image is ROH’s equivalent of The Fingerpoke of Doom. One day, we will look back and point to this moment that killed the company.
  22. It certainly didn’t help that Jim Ross asked Excalibur “We haven’t seen these guys in AEW yet, have we?” I liked the Dark Order vignette, I just wish it would have been produced and aired weeks ago.
  23. It’s a shame that they missed the impact of the outside ladder bump/fall live. Even the replays failed to show how horrendous the bump must have felt.
  24. Exactly. You were set up to believe you were going to get a preview of the opposing teams for the next Wargames when the turn happened. (FWIW, I thought #4 was going to be Keith Lee.) Very well done.
  25. I’m curious how DDP feels about his finisher being used as frequently as a body slam. Way too many cutters tonight. I wish either AEW or NXT was on a different night. Just like the Monday Night Wars, I found myself flipping back and forth. Make sure to catch the main event and post-match angle on NXT. Great stuff.
