I'm a little surprised MJF hasn't thought of this yet.

This was my immediate thought as well when I saw the unsanctioned stip and I'm pretty sure it's where they're headed on Saturday.

Great work as always, Phil! We didn't get Flair/Funk or Flair/Sting in Detroit, but the shows and PPVs were appointment television.

The tournament starts today, with Germany likely hammering Scotland at 3pm Eastern. Who's going to win the whole thing? Portugal or France are my first thought. Germany as hosts should have a shot as well. Can England piece together a defense? (Declan Rice will be a busy, busy man this month.)

The only time I've seen a wrestler in the wild was late March, 2003. I was in Seattle to watch the US Men's Soccer team take on Venezuela. (Was supposed to be Japan, but SARS happened.) So my friend and I are walking around downtown Seattle before the soccer game and we see signs and realize that Wrestlemania was the next day. Even though we were both lapsed WWE watchers at that point, we kicked ourselves for not staying in town an extra day, getting cheap tickets, and hanging out. At that exact moment, Kevin Nash comes walking down the street. Dude looked like he just spent six hours in the hair salon. Said a quick what's up and kept it moving.

Yep. Karma came back to bite him.....not that I'm bitter or anything....

Anyone watch Wales/Fiji on Sunday? Great, great match. If Fiji can rein in the turnovers and maintain their aggressive power running style, they'll be dangerous.

A PPV in Seattle to honor Antonio Inoki..... Okay, who will be Moxley be fighting in the Bainbridge Island Death Match?

Oh man, Veteran Presence. We're getting old....

The FTR/BC Gold match was great stuff. More 2/3 falls matches, please. (I maintain that all Trios Championship matches should be 2/3 falls.)

And we weren't so lucky this time out, losing to Panama 5-4 on penalties. I'm happy that Gold Cup and Nations League Finals won't be the same summer going forward. It does us no good to split the roster for two competitions a month apart.

I'm a sucker for Jon Moxley and Tomohiro Ishii beating people like they stole something. When they do it to each other in a match? Yeah, that's pretty much always going to be my pick. I could have done without the shoot headbutts, though.

Like you guys, my 13-year-old was heated at the cliffhanger. He made me promise to take him to Part 3 the first day it's out. No problem here, as I absolutely loved the movie. Striking animation, lots of callbacks, an engaging story, and a great cast....I think it's better than Part 1 - which was great - and in my Top 5 Superhero movies. My favorite thing about the movie was how each Spider was animated somewhat differently. Being from different dimensions meant they all operated on different wavelengths, or something like that.

The 3rd Place Match and Final tickets were sold as a Double-Header, so a whole lot of Mexico fans that bought tickets decided to eat their money out of spite. The FMF and Mexican soccer in general is a dumpster fire - the folks that hired Cocca were already gone, so he was always going to have a short leash. And as a USMNT fan that's had batteries/cups of "beer"/loaded diapers thrown at me and Osama chants in Estadio Azteca, all of this chaos suits me just fine. (I've been Mexico City three time and gone to the Azteca more than I have Arena Mexico *and* Arena Coliseo. Pete, I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I agreed to hang out when you came down into DC that one weekend.)

There's no place quite like CONCACAF.... T&T will now be playing the US in Charlotte during the Gold Cup group stage. May be more of an away fan base now.
