I absolutely loved the Shemp book. And I'd say that the author clearly had an interest in debunking all of Moe's bullshit and basically pointing out all the ways Moe was an asshole who enjoyed belittling his brother after his death.

Followed by a commercial about breast cancer that was basically 90% built on men getting horny for titties
I laughed so hard and so long I had to leave the room full of people here, and bury my head in the kitchen.

When and how did Slaughter turn face in WWF in 1984?
At a tv taping he was coming to the ring and Iron Sheik was leaving it, and they started arguing. Over the next month or so, they did a slow burn where he would be teaming with heels in six man tags, and end up not getting along with them. And eventually he gets into it with Sheik. He turns officially after fighting Sheik and he leads the Allentown crowd saying the pledge of allegiance.

And Ivan was old then, and even more limited than he already was. Those were the years I became a wrestling fan for life, and you're right. Ivan was over and felt like a superhero to 13-14 year old me, especially alongside Atlas and Johnson. He stuck around on the undercards there up to 1986, which always surprises me. Polish Power!

This one?
Yes it motherfuckin' is! Thanks, man! And everyone needs to watch this. It's the Best Ivan Putski Match of All Time. A violent Texas Death Match in front of a rabid crowd in Philly. Kal Rudman and Duck Graham killing it...

Ivan Putski could have been a big star in WWF if pushed consistently. Huge jacked up tough Polish guy in New York City. Crowds loved him.
He was a big star in WWF. He held the tag belts with Tito, and was one of the top babyfaces for a long time. He'd feud with tons of the top heels especially in the 70's and early 80's. There's a Putski vs Zybysko match from Philly in 1980 that's one of my favorite matches I've seen. I wish it was on YouTube. I have it on an unlabeled DVD in a tub in the crawl space. So it may as well be lost forever.

And one of the major reasons a lot of NXT acts floundered on the main roster was that Vince didn't watch it, so therefore the writers at the time felt that they didn't have to watch it either. So they had no idea what the characters were all about.

It's the "Done it all" part. The only unresolved story with Owens is a program with Orton. I know not many big WWE Stars are looking at leaving , but Owens really has done it all. And if TK wants to give him "Fuck you" money to be well off for the rest of his life, then he should take it.

Oh, and New Day getting back to being one of the most over acts in the company, but as heels fucking rules.

I'd love to see some type of career stip added to this Sami and Owens deal for Mania. Really spice it up.
Felt great for Jey Uso. He's worked his ass off these last two years and to me the response from that crowd was very organic.
Charlotte. What can you say. I don't want to pile on but man. I think she was aiming to come back as a face this time or at least a tweener role to start and that crowd said one big collective "no thanks". It's not entirely her fault but this is going to be another situation where Hunter tries to force something that ain't gonna vibe
I think Charlotte was testing the waters with the crowd at first, awkwardly. And so much of tonight's mic work was during ad breaks for folks who get ads.
Charlotte's return vignette last week pretty much had the message "All the things you smart fans say about me somehow pushing myself into 14 reigns in , what, 3 years Is true! It wasn't an insane old pervert ! " They're testing the waters, but she's a heel.I was wondering about Owen's contract. I remember talk about it recently. It'd be the most HHH thing that's another small dagger into his father-in-law who put him in the hospital , to give his guy a Cody feud where he gets to take the Winged Eagle belt on Saturday Nights Main Event, headline against Cody in one of Owen's favorite types of matches, and then wrap it up in a Loser Leaves Town against Sami at WrestleMania . And then he gets millions from TK when he doesn't beat Moxley in a few months.
I am convinced HHH is slowly trying to kill Vince by doing shit the CryptKeeper hates. There's got be a mini stroke in his withered head every time someone says pro wrestling, now.

Owens’ beef with Punk is supposedly similar to Eddie Kingston - he chewed him out in front of the locker room. Seems like back then, Punk didn’t like either of them wearing shirts to wrestle or something.
Zayn rubs a lot of people the wrong way, multiple people have said that, but it’s not like he’s malicious or anything. Just annoying, supposedly lol
So basically, a minor incident that happened nearly 20 years ago, and they're using that for heat now so us old nerds get a little worked and the millions of new fans do as well. I'm a fan.

My feed only got real glitchy post main event, but cleared up in time for the Owens attack.
Holy shit, Sami vs. Punk was great. They brought up the supposed real life dislike Sami has for Punk just like they did with Owens a few weeks ago. The only time I can think of them crossing paths was the ROH show where Joe lost the belt to Aires and my ex and I were third row hard camera, behind two smelly, smelly men. Sami wrestled under a mask as a goon called The Weapon of Masked Destruction for Nana and Punk teamed with Corino. Is it a case of Sami and Owens being friends with people who have actual beef with Punk?
Doesn't matter, cause real life beef or not, they tore the house down.

I can see Jey closing night 1 with a victory over Gunther but they'd probably need another big match on the night 1 card for that to work. It could end up being something like Cody/Punk for night 2 and whatever Cena and Roman are doing on night 1.
I'm thinking it's Cody vs Cena in a "Pass the torch" match..

We had a blast tonight watching this show. Living in Colorado meant that this basically a matinee show. It started at four. I love it. It's like 92 when the shows were matinees. I know a lot of folks hate all the long commercials and shit between matches, but here that shit works. I grilled burgers and corn on the cob between the Women's Rumble and the tag title match.
Super fun show. It was wild that it was obvious Flair was winning with six people left in the match, and then it looked like the same thing with Cena in the men's match , but they surprised us with Jey. Great stuff.

That's hilarious. Last year on our YouTube show we made the same joke about Tyler being a "Cakey Frakey".

Watched the Red Letter Media review for Section 31 and while these guys usually crap on most things, I'm almost always on board with them knowing that Kurtzman doesn't have his finger on the pulse for nu Trek and the only good nu Trek is Picard season 3 and SNW.
From their description, this Section 31 show sounds like fucking garbage.
It's terrible. It's a typical , dumb action movie with bad one liners and unbelievably bad dialogue.
I'd add Lower Decks and Prodigy to the list with SNW and Picard S3 . I loved both shows, and my nephew who's been exposed to Trek his whole life, but never cared, loves them as well.
Edit: I actually enjoyed Discovery for the most part. S2 is the best season of it, mainly because of Pike. But the later seasons in the far future had some great highs admist all of the dealing with trauma and feelings stuff that took the place of any character development for the bridge crew

Jey Uso continues to be the modern day Jimmy Valiant.
Since Jimmy Valiant is one of my favorite wrestlers of all time, that makes me like Jey even more. But as a member of the Boogie Woogie Brigade and one of the Street People? I'm sorry, but Jimmy Uso is the current Jimmy Valiant. Big Jim is the mid card hero with three moves and it doesn't matter because he's over and charismatic and people love him.
Wow, that show was weirdly timed out for Netflix. They had that super hot Atlanta crowd that had just gave Paul the loudest go away heat Ive ever heard. They gave him the Hogan in LA treatment. The show was cooking for awhile until they had the crowd sit and stare at videos on the screen forever, then sit though the Heyman video game bit in silence until he got them back. Then Drew comes out and the crowd is mad that no wrestling has happened to the point they're giving Drew some go away heat to just wrap it up.
Drew and Sami had to fight to get the crowd back, and they did. And then they did that Cody/ Punk segment that was WAY too long and could have been great if it had been about five minutes shorter.

Also not a fan of racing but always watched racing movies like Days of Thunder, Stroker Ace, Six Pack, Greased Lightning and Heart Like a Wheel when they were on cable.
Greased Lightning is one of those movies that was always on some UHF station on a Saturday afternoon every year when I was a kid. It was one of my favs. I hadn't thought about it in forever and lo and behold, it was on yesterday on Roku channel's Pam Grier channel. I forgot how loaded the cast is.

HHH didn't renew Lashley's contract, and that may be more of a case of Lashley being a Vince guy. He's on record praising him relatively with the whole, "Vince fed a lot of people." bullshit.
Lashley also recently said that he had an idea he wanted to do. He wanted to feud with Gunther and have it be racially based with Gunther basically being Col. DeBeers.

Hurt Business was on the 'Mania 40 card, so them being let go was a HHH call.
That wasn't Hurt Business. That was Lashley and the Street Profits vs. Final Testament. Hurt Business was during the pandemic era and Vince ended them after 8 months to push Lashley alone with MVP as his manager.

Fightful sez Hogan is off Main Event, not because he was booed but because his son is getting married and I guess Hulk forgot when he took the booking
"Let me tell you something, brother. Nasty Nick called me out of the blue, man, and he said, "Hulkster, I met my soulmate last night , hanging and banging, down in Atlanta, dude. We're flying to Vegas to get hitched, brother, and I want you to perform the ceremony, dude."

Break a leg. It's only one scene at the end of the show, but it can be a powerful one done correctly. I tear up every time I watch young Duvall just nail it.
