I remember how Kurt posed for pics with the unconscious Show, looking for all the world like a hunter who bagged a prized bear. Had to be done for for lols.

Scarlet Beaudreaux (... I know ...) is one of the reasons I hate what Chikara has become. Since she used to do the Throwdown Lowdown, now there's no chance to see her on the more regular. Unless I start watching ROH ... so as I said, no chance ...

I am filled with grief. I read every single one of these, even from before the board crash. Now I want to read them all over again. Mope.

Principles of social psychology on prominent display.

But then you follow with ... ... RATINGZ NEWZZORZ??!?!

*insert Phillip J. Fry "Shut Up And Take My Money" meme here*

Wait, I think I remember this one: "Carnies gonna carny."

I don't know how much mileage you can get, listing off people "who made IWA-MS what it is today." I don't know how much mileage you are wanting to get, maybe I should say ...

I love you all. *tear*

(1) Wait, I would have sworn, as pissed of as Ian was about it, it was the pump knot that Mike Levy gave her from a headbutt that jeopardized Knuckles' TNA "career." Huh, learn something new everyday ...(2) Wouldn't you deny fucking Ian Rotten? I mean, the consequences are right there in his surname ...(3) That chick looks far too happy to be fucking a dude who - I could be wrong here - has gone on record as saying he has the hep. Maybe she feels bad for him because he has cancer ... there, NOW try to keep a straight face.

Now its killing me that I can't remember the "Egyptian" he was I Chikara.

Ridiculous, that they couldn't have worked Hero into the All Americans. Then at least, we'd have Hero/Claudio together, plus it's a step closer to WWE KOT!

Yes. Hannah and her twin sister Holly have been in OVW under a TNA developmental deal since the British Boot Camp show. They wrestled on Impact once earlier this year on one of the UK Impacts and Hannah also worked a couple of the taped TNA PPVs. As opposed to Hannah and her four sisters ...

I'm curious what part of "fighting for the working class" involved "stunnering" other faces, i.e. fellow members of the working class. And there was the whole "stunnering" of Stacy Keibler that I just ... just can't forgive, man ...

Well lemme tell ya something, Mean Gene. They say one bad apple spoils the bunch, dude...but what about three-dozen? Rotten to the core, brother. Sometimes, man, ya gotta do what'cha gotta do! Every morning, before a big match, brother, I asked the big dude upstairs what he wanted from the Hulkster...and he never told me to love thy neighbor, man, or to turn the other cheek, dude. He gave me the strength and the fortitude to become his vessel, brother, by any means necessary, to overcome the obstacles placed before the Hulkster, brother, for all the little Hulkamaniacs watching around the world. All the training, all the prayers, all the vitamins were for this point in my life, man. When Vince McMahon came to me, offering me this position in the World Wrestling Federation, brother, I saw the lightning flash. I heard the thunder roll, man. I fell down on my knees and I cried, my God why has thou forsaken me, dude? And the Lord said, Hulkster, you know damn good, more than you realize, you're no earthly good at all unless you take this opportunity, brother, and do whatever you have to. And he didn't say Hulkster be polite. Do whatever you have to, man, to transform and transmogrify the World Wrestling Federation into a special place. Where the hearts, souls and minds of the Hulkamaniacs can blossom. And I gave my word to God, brother. And that's why I took those heinous dudes out by any means necessary, brother. Including jerking on a 5 ft invisible dong.

Ben, goddamn, I love you dude.

Attached to this: AW SHIT! Where did the DVDVR "Best of the '90s" stuff go?!??! Repeated, only because, no, really, "AW SHIT! Where did ..." etc., etc. On the early stages planning of this project, I'm actually planning to work this where ... lord help ... every match of the 120 has a unique wrestler in it. So ... no cast repeats ... harder than you think ...

No, those matches did not have commentary in original form.Wow. I'd have been totally okay with that, as opposed to the alternative. 2013 Jim Ross admonishing 1980s Mr. Wrestling II for walking out on Magnum really fucks up the moment for me.

And that's a problem?Alcohol poisoning is *always* a problem.

It could be worse, re: reality TV people buying TNA ... could be Lizard Lick Towing.

I actually have some stuff from Southern States Wrestling/ NWA Smoky Mountain/ New South Wrestling during this time frame that I might add ... if I can find it in my storage unit ... I think there was a swank Kid Kash/Josh Cody match on this one release I used to have ... But overall, thanks for the recommendations so far, everyone ... still looking for more input, of course.

I'm working on a comp for a friend ... 120 matches of varying types, chronologically over the course of 30 yrs ('84-'13) ... May end up going nowhere ... but, was anything other than WWF/E going on around 2000/2001/2002 ... WCW dipped sharply in quality, ECW was on its last legs, ROH doesn't come along until 2002 ... I was looking up some stuff, and it's pretty much WWF/E.

So, watching this Mid-South set from WWE ... found the answer to "worst announcing in the wrestling world" question ... Jim Ross of the 21st century announcing over old Mid-South matches as if he were the Jim Ross of the 80s-90s, which also means attempting to sell the match as if he were announcing it as it happened. He sneaks in "slobberknocker" ... shit's worse than the Joey Styles "flipping people off won't get you very far" overdub on the Pioneer DVD version of Austin/Sandman/Whipreck.

Was watching disc 1 of the Mid-South set from WWE. I'd watch the hell out of TNA, if it was that right now. Wait, even better ... I'd pay for cable/satellite, just to watch the hell out of (etc.)
