He did use a Million Dollar Arm finisher for a little while.

I missed most of this game, turned on the radio, and heard the last pitch.

Gotta throw in "Victim of Hardstyle" for Special K as well.

Snoop Dogg living his best life, changing the last three digits of the overall attendance to "420."

I saw a clip of Billie showing the title belt to her mom, who disapproved of the way that she won (not with "honor"). Mom said Athena was a bad influence. Billie left in frustration and went to celebrate with Athena instead.

When Seth came out with his second crazy outfit of the weekend with the Mummers parade, I told the girls, "This is why I love pro wrestling - crazy stuff like this." Michael Cole delivered the best single-match performance by an announcer in a long time. He was openly rooting for Cody to win, which you're not supposed to do, but he couldn't help himself. He hit "Finish the Story" on the three-count, and after the match, he mentioned that he's known Cody since he was a kid and declared his love for pro wrestling. For all the years he was overproduced by Vince in the headset, Cole summed it up perfectly by saying, "Sometimes, this business gets you right in the heart." That heart was often missing in WWE, but it was there last night at the perfect time.

I explained to my wife that I had to sing Cody Rhodes' theme out loud because the song has been stuck in my head since WrestleMania 39.

I loved Rey and Andrade's chicken-fight dive to the floor. Gotta love seeing a move that you've never seen before. Did you notice that Michael Cole called Corey Graves the "heir apparent"? That tells me they must like Corey's work on Smackdown and are considering him to be the future top play-by-play announcer. Good for him! That would be the highest level a former wrestler has achieved as a play-by-play announcer since Gorilla Monsoon.

Yes, it is. Alicia does a great job, but if the purpose of NXT is to prepare talent for the main roster, might as well work on doing a proper ring announcement.

Great memories of announcing the Moosin: God of Martial Arts PPV in this building in 2010. We were supposed to do Moosin 2 in Chicago, but our money man got thrown in jail and the company fell apart. -

Scheme Gene! -
Most of Year 1 is on there.

Considering that my Burning River Buckets lost last night in the ABA playoffs, I would be happy to announce him in our starting lineup next year. Plus, I think merch sales would go up a little bit.

So did Austin Hedges, who has rejoined the Guardians in an attempt to move up the list.

Happy to see my alma mater (Northwestern) and my parents' (Akron) in the Big Dance.

I have offered my services. -
I was there with my dad and brother. My friends, Handsome Frank Stalletto and Beef Stew Lou Marconi were two of the Undertaker's druids. I hope I can be there this year.

I keep a spreadsheet of all of the major promotions with the wrestlers' hometowns, weights, and signature maneuvers. I shared it with the new announcer for New Japan (Walker Stewart). We gotta help each other out! -
I hope Cyndi Lauper's phone is ringing.

Even though he got squished, I was happy to see Xyon Quinn make it to Smackdown. We met him on vacation, and he was very cool. I was able to give him some advice and told him he would be in one of my WWE history books someday. -
Wow - I didn't even have the best book of the year with Flair on the cover.

Sitting in the crowd, I was stunned that Steamboat really won the title, and so was my one wrestling-interested friend when I got back to the dorm!

From "King of Atlanta" - Page 64 - Beach Blast 93 4. Johnny B. Badd vs. Maxx Payne Why did Payne wear a giant T-shirt calling himself a "Fashion Victim"? Didn't he choose his own outfit?
