My college roommate majored in, among other things, Japanese and he told me that I didn't have the discipline to try and learn it. 

For about two years I lived the language. I was tired of my History major, and always loved Japanese, so I found a school nearby that offered it, dropped out of History, and went for Japanese. Was planning on studying abroad for my degree but my anxiety caused me to not go and to drop out of the program. I lived that shit. I spent the entire winter break of 2010 studying only to drop out the next year. It's hard to master as the Kanji screws with people. I barely remember any of it now.

Fast forward to 2019, and I ended up finishing my History degree at the school I started, lol. Got my MA after that, and now I'm going for another MA in Education. My life is a mess!

Shouldn't be a shock because it's XPW, but there was apparently a spot that really jumped the shark last night.  Spoilers

From Kurt's podcast

Kurt Angle had successful back surgery work done. He no longer feels pain down his legs and has no more problems with his legs. The back pain hasn't went away yet.

 

I've got a messed up back and had a bunch of treatments done. Back still hurts but the lack of leg pain is wonderful. I can only imagine the shape Angle's body is in but I'm happy that he's finally feeling some relief.

I can only stand the Dallas crowd and their idol worship of the Von Erichs for so long, so that's the territory I've seen the least of, actually. You guys can see me fill in other gaps in real time elsewhere.

The amount of Brody there prob doesn’t help.

I’ve seen very little of Lawlers pre WWF stuff same with mid south

Most of the Mid South I've seen has been in one of two contexts:

1) Cherry picking matches/angles of various guys who came through over the years (Terry, Flair, Hogan, etc)

2) I was a very weird little kid, and was obsessed with Andy Kaufman (still am) so I watched I'm From Hollywood on Comedy Central probably hundreds of times

Dude, that I'm From Hollywood special messed with my mind when I first saw it.  I only knew of him from Taxi and I sat at the kitchen table completely glued to the TV.  It really showed me something I never knew Kaufman did and it's funny reading/hearing bits and pieces about it over the years.  Dude was just ahead of his time and knowing it's on Youtube means I'll need to find the time to watch it.

We just got out of the WWE Sunday Slammer Road To WrestleMania show in Denver tonight. Holy shit, it was great. The place was basically sold out and Denver lived up to its reputation as a hot wrestling town. We were on fire all night. My nephew and his pals had an amazing time and so did I. And, I had looked up what matches were being done on this tour and was expecting the same card. They gave us a different show than the rest of the tour. 
From memory the card was:

1. Bianca BelAir beat Chelsea Green

2. The Brawling Brutes beat Imperium

3. Bronson Reed beat Johnny Gargano

4. Charlotte Flair beat Liv Morgan and Sonya Deville

5. Asuka and Mia Yim beat Damage Control

6. Miz TV with Denver's own Bobby Lashley led to a three way match where Austin Theory beat Lashley and Miz when Theory pinned Miz.

7. Cody Rhodes, Ricochet, and Strowman beat the Usos and Solo Sikoa.

The crowd went NUTS for Lashley. It was awesome. 
Oh, and they turned down the crowd lights for the Main Event. It looked great.

I'm not sure what people are angrier about, the dick spot or the fact that XPW brought back admitted abuser G-Raver.  

Rob Black sees XPW getting any kind of publicity as a win

He recently pulled XPW off FITE in favor of XPW's own streaming service because he didn't want to deal with blowback on content - now we know why

No, come on. Rob Black is not promoting wrestling again. Shut up.

Since late 2021, actually. He ran a non-deathmatch show in Rochester, NY (he also runs a restaurant in Rochester) back then with Brian Cage winning a world title tournament, but since NY can't have blood he's been running bi-monthly shows in Los Angeles since 2022. And in recent months, he also took over ICW's venue in New Jersey and stole a bunch of their talent. So he's running monthly XPW shows in either Los Angeles or New Jersey.

And occasionally he runs no-ring shows called "Theater of Brutality" out of his restaurant in Rochester and streams them for free

I heard it drew 9,000 people. That's really good.

This takes me back.  I bought two XPW VHS tapes at a store in the mall one time.  Had no clue what it was all about.  It was some of the worst wrestling I had ever seen but it was also unintentional hilarious at times.

The first Philadelphia event in 2002 was really good, but Rob kept gradually stealing talent from CZW and pissing off their fans, so the crowds kept getting smaller and smaller.

Jonny Storm and Juventud Guerrera wrestled a 5-star match in front of 30 people:

I went to some indy show at the Arena I think after ecw closed maybe in 2001 with Jeff Amdur and Barry Casino but for the life of me, I don't know what promotion it was. 

If it wasn't CZW's Cage of Death in December 2001, it had to have been either JAPW (which ran monthly) or the MECW show in August

I think the MECW show was over-capacity so they let everyone in for free

Quote

(11.08.2001) MECW Inaugural Show - Event @ Viking Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

New Jack defeats DeVito
Chris Chetti & Danny Doring defeat Christian York & Joey Matthews
Buff Bagwell defeats Jack Victory (w/Steve Corino)
Hot Commodity (Chris Hamrick & Julio Dinero) defeat Hell On Earth (Prince Justice & Rob Williams)
MECW World Heavyweight Title: Curt Hennig (c) defeats Chris Harris
MECW World Tag Team Title Falls Count Anywhere: The Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge & Rocco Rock) (c) defeat The FBI (Little Guido & Tony Mamaluke)
Simon Diamond defeats The Blue Meanie (w/Jasmin St. Claire)

Three Way Dance: Crowbar defeats Billy Reil and Roadkill
Mike Rotunda & Rockin' Rebel defeat The Gladiators (Gary Wolfe & Johnny Hot Body)

It was likely not after April, when I moved to VAB. 

I should probably ask Jeff as he has a better memory for these things. All I really remember is which park and ride I met them at when they picked me up to go to Philly. Similar to how I can't remember any of the cards I saw up in PA that Blaine ran in the late 90s that I drove up to see.
