I'm all aboard with The Kingdom helping Cole to turn on MJF, but only if MJF gets The Dynasty as his entourage going forward
Not sure if they can get Hammerstone out of his 1000-year contract with MLW

Tony Khan Responds To Triple H’s ‘Secondary Promotion’ Comment
On Triple H calling AEW a secondary promotion: “We certainly won’t be the secondary promotion at All In. We’re No. 1 in the UK, on TV and with a record gate. I have a lot of respect for Cody. I know these weren’t his words, to be fair, but we’re not secondary in a lot of markets — for the first time in a long time, WWE has been secondary in a lot of markets. … I’m proud of where we’re at and we’re not taking a back seat to anybody.”

Nah nah nah. You don't just get to ride along with more compulsively negative chattering, you whiffed on this one hard.
You wrote after Blood & Guts (and I quote~) "Kenny implied during his post-show promo for the live crowd that he's following the Bucks in leaving the territory". Which is to say you heard Kenny say "Wherever these guys go, I'm going too!" in the post-B&G press conference, instantly warped the quote into something that suits your well-established narrative, and expressed that assumption on a public forum. It was far and away one of the worst takes I've read this year and I'm dying to know if it was even an honest one.

I think I soured on the Bucks when they tried to drag Drunk Jeff Hardy through a 20-minute match instead of just wrapping it up.
30 young teams on the roster, and you're still trying to put over your childhood idols that you feuded with on the indies 10 years ago when they were already old

If Time-Warner/Turner didn't want to flush the toilet on WCW and we got Eric Bischoff Presents Hogan Championship Wrestling, there is some interesting fantasy booking you could do. Main thing I can think of is the Disciple as permanent US or TV champion (they didn't have an IC belt anymore did they? What was the secondary title below World?). What else you think might could happen? Who gets sacked/buried, who gets elevated?
RVD was lingering around the indies in 2001 before the dust settled and he realized WWE was the only place left to make money, so I could see him choosing WCW instead if that was still an option

yet i don't clamor for Bucks matches or angles, or really care about them as characters.
They rarely cut promos on TV - so unless you watch BTE, a casual viewer would just assume they're flippy mutes

Kind of surprised they didn't bring up WWE having right-of-first-refusal to buy WCW that resulted from WWE suing WCW for copyright infringement in 1996
The episode made it seem like WCW willingly pissed away 50 million so they wouldn't have to sell to Eric

Ok here's a really weird one - a TV pilot for something called Urban Empire Wrestling was filmed at historic Philadelphia boxing venue The Blue Horizon (the only wrestling show ever held there to my knowledge) in 2003 using largely CHIKARA guys. They ran a one-night tournament with some pretty good matches in front of zero fans, including Mike Quackenbush vs. Julio Dinero:
And here's the 8-man tag dark match from the taping which was all CHIKARA trainees including Icarus, Kingston, etc.:

Idk about Phil Hartman
I found the interview - skip to 12:40 if you want to hear Phil tell the story

This can’t have been the original plan. Pointless speculation, but it just can’t.
"100 years of Warner Bros." being celebrated with blatant price gouging sounds about right

I wish I hadn't seen the Phil Hartman interview on Stern years ago where Phil said Reubens was supposed to give him 50% of the profits of everything involving the Pee-wee Herman character but never did, and Phil was too nice to take him to court, so their friendship just ended
Definitely clouded my opinion of the guy - Los Angeles in the 80s was just everyone ratfucking each other left and right

I mean one of my favorite channels just got taken down (Jay Seklow) which basically had a serious amount HBO and Showtime boxing content in pretty good quality from the 80s until the 2010s. I mean I wasn't shocked, but a good amount of boxing content from those networks has been on Youtube untouched since Youtube was thing. So you can find old fights not uploaded by an official content partner going back to 2006. I'm pretty sure if Viacom/Paramount didn't go after it, WBD did. As a completist I'm pissed, but I don't find it to be rotten. At some point, people are going to hammer down on that. I was fun while it lasted though.
There was an article about 5 years ago about some guy who had an extensive VHS collection of boxing VHS tapes, and I believe he was the source for most of the DVD "career comps" you used to be able to find on eBay back in the day. If I'm remembering right he died suddenly and his kids were trying to find someone to take all the footage. Wonder whatever happened to it.
There's a giant debate online now about "lost footage", and I'm of the opinion that if a network has the masters somewhere then it's not exactly "lost". People online these days just assume because they can't find something easily it's "lost" which isn't the case most of the time - but having stuff inaccessible to the public really sucks.

Thank you! And, I have no idea why she would want it taken down. TK I can see, but her?
She got outed for doing DMCA takedowns a while back
Jon Barber was a similar tryhard anti-piracy stooge back in the day

I love that match! I don't know, I thought Jigsaw did a fine enough job keeping up but I haven't watched it in a while. Maybe tonight.

He would be insane to jump to WWE, because they'd never give an "outsider" anything this meaty to dig into.
The top WWE stars are currently TNA mainstay Eli Drake (age 40) and 3PW superstar Rob Eckos (age 39)
Don't be so sure

I wasn't aware that Dallas Hart was currently running an incarnation of Stampede until I looked it up recently
Hadn't thought about his existence since his WWE Magazine column years ago - never knew he got into the business

... please have the MJF-Cole title match be a respectful, grueling epic... ending on a double clothesline, with (whoever wins) just being the one to have their arm atop the other.
It's MJF - you're getting a Piper-Bret tribute complete with Max teasing hitting Cole with the ringbell before deciding against it
Calling it now - the finish is Cole picking up the bell and clocking MJF to win the title

RVD was in great shape for his NOAH match a year ago, so seeing him with a paunch and walking like Iron Sheik was kind of depressing
