Just as well, the quality has been dropping since Season 5 or so. That's ok with me, better to go out with something still in the tank.

IIRC, the Apter magazines (or a lesser publication like Wrestling Eye) made mention of this company trying to raise funds by selling stock to the public at 10 cents a share.
The only other angle I remember from the GWA also came from the Apter mags. The heel announcer in the first clip, Dr. Red Roberts (who, outside the ring, was a licensed therapist), supposedly had a match with Bugsy McGraw and lost, with the stipulation being he had to eat a cockroach for losing. No clue how it come to that, but there you go.
Florida regional promotion, I remember catching this show at odd hours on weird channels. I believe they also featured "The Freakin' Deacon".

My daughter decided last night was the ideal time to debut the Taya impersonation she had been working on. It was fantastic.
Dario messing with the nose candy? Oh Jefe, for shame.

However, as a fan of LU telenovelas, I liked that the cop angle is really taking off, and I'm highly interested in whether Catrina or the lead detective is the rightful owner of the immortality medallion.
It's the greatest angle in wrestling history. It was all my daughter wanted to talk about after the show.

I wonder why they changed that last stanza?
I think Jack Johnson is the prime candidate for a big budget movie. That dude was the first black heavyweight champion and spent his time gallivanting around with white women. He was essentially Kanye West and Mike Tyson at the same time.
Plus he refused to fight black contenders when he was champion. A black man who drew the color line! Plenty of black fighters from the early-20th century, including former elite lightweight and Joe Louis trainer Jackie Blackburn blamed Johnson for setting back the progress of black fighters for a generation.

People know how great Roberto Duran is, but you certainly don't need Hands of Stone which looks like your cookie cutter sports drama film.
From what I could tell it's as much a Ray Arcel movie as it is about Roberto Duran. Ray Arcel was one of boxing's great historic treasures, a guy who was in training camps starting with all-time great lightweight Benny Leonard and continuing uninterrupted through all-time greats in Roberto Duran and Larry Holmes. There is nobody's opinion on the comparative abilities of historic boxers I trust as much as Ray Arcel's. The story of his experience in the mobbed-up world of 20th century boxing should be a good one.
QuoteTo be fair, Cinderella Man didn't exactly set the box office ablaze.
It was ahistoric baloney. Max Baer was a beloved goofball who was tortured by the memories of the men who died in the ring. Dempsey himself, who briefly trained Baer in the early-30s, said that despite Max's obvious magnificent physical gifts he was completely unserious and lacked killer instinct.

Honestly, why isn't there a Joe Louis or Jack Dempsey movie?
Well to be fair there were some low-budget low-effort ones previously. There was even a Dempsey made-for-TV movie in the 80s starring Treat Williams.
I'm actually writing a Dempsey screenplay focusing on what I always found to be the most interesting aspect of his life - his years as a migrant hobo laborer in Colorado and Utah prior to becoming the biggest sports celebrity in the world. Dempsey learned his vicious, violent style of fighting not just from saloon brawls and poorly-organized prizefights in mining towns, but from fending off the predations that naturally occurred when you had a teenage boy traveling alone surrounded by lower-stratus males. To give you some idea of what Dempsey had to contend with, you might want to refresh your memory of the original context of the famous hobo song, Big Rock Candy Mountain.
Fun stuff all-around and it keeps me off the street.

He was lightweight champion.
You're right, the alpha-champions will always be remembered, As it stands now, will Dos Anjos be better remembered in 15 years than Diaz, I'm not sure. Titles change hands quickly, unless you go on a major run you're likely to get lost in the historical legacy shuffle.
Jim Braddock got a big-budget Hollywood movie, where are the movies for Joe Louis and Jack Dempsey? How about Larry Holmes? Can we make it a musical?

I think this is the only TV match between Eaton/Lane and the "classic" Freebirds. And we actually get a finish:
Cornette really had some fun rants about the Midnights and their run against the Hayes/Gordy/Garvin incarnation of the Freebirds. "The only guy who was selling for us was Gordy, Jimmy Garvin is 5'10 and that's with the poodle hair!"

That trailer has me all hyped up for more Lucha Underground again. Lots of new faces, lots of cool imagery - did Lucha Underground just make Cobra Moon look badass?

It will also be interesting to see who makes their debuts in Season 3.
Also who will run the Temple when the season begins since Dario is in Jail.
Officer Ryan will run it after the Temple has been confiscated by civil forfeiture.

As long as I can keep hating Sexy Star.

Ultima Lucha Dos finishes up tonight! I'm going to be watching even though the only rational outcome is Matanza picking up Pentagon Jr but the ankles and beating Vampiro to a pulp with him.

Liked the wrestler, hated the mask. Looked like it would be heavy and uncomfortable too, as well as restricting vision.
Sexy Star is awful. That is all.

Eh, she should gut him just for drill.
As satisfying as Arya's scene was, it was about as believable as Frank Drebin ripping off his mask and beating up the Ayatollah. Her character right now is literally operating at Drebin-level.
Her whole plotline was by far the weakest of this season, and probably of the previous one as well.
Oh, wait, the Dorne crap.
Well certainly this season.

The last scene will be Edmure in the cell saying "Hello?"
The camera pans over to the adjacent cell, where a man with a beard down to his navel, vaguely recognizable as Gendry The Baratheon Bastard, mutters, "Don't bother."
Cue laugh track, applause, credits.

He was supposed to bring up the horn at the Kingsmoot, if he breaks it out for the first time when there are dragons flying around everywhere it's going to be corny as hell.

GSP has no more right to escape the UFC than a fugitive slave could proclaim themselves free upon reaching the north. There is no Underground Railroad for UFC fighters. They toil at the UFC plantation until they are no longer useful and may be safely discarded.
