I was never blessed with immaculate handwriting. My writing it horrible. Part of it is I am right handed,but my kindergarten teacher and the kids at my table were all left handed. By 6th grade teachers told me to "Just wait till you get home and type up that paper. That way I can read it." By jr high and high school teachers were begging me to "Please print not cursive." Now I don't write anything and my handwriting is horrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I've been told I have serial killer handwriting. I think it's because my writing is very neat and precise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E. Dynamite Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) It is my day off and I, as the kids might still say, am "on one", so I'd like to say that Hiroko Suzuki's performance on the first HUSTLEMANIA is pretty much perfect and I love this card to pieces. Kenzo wrestled some kabuki actor who came in on a fake helicopter and cut an insane old-timey Japanese bellowing song-promo and the crowd popped HUGE for the finish. Jaguar Yokota dressed up/acting like a naughty kitty cat tagging w/ Aja n Amazing Kong vs. Devil Masami n Ayako Hamada n Saki Maemura is a pourus pro wres solid completely saturated in liquid entertainment. The opener is some casual Kota/Ishimori vs. Kaz Hayashi/Jimmy Yang joint. Riki Choshu and Yoshiaki Fujiwara (who goes hardway, natch) beat up Drunk Mark Coleman. If the second half of this card holds up then this is SHOW OF THE YEAR. Man I am tellin you HUSTLE holds up like crazy in 2023. God help you if you see my name in Secret Santo.

So you could go to Suncoast to buy a tape of an XPW show that drew 50 people. Which I did. I bought a couple of those tapes and it was the worst shit ever lol. But there was one match that I believe was quite infamous where New Jack might have tried to kill Vic Grimes? It was reckless as fuck off a scaffold. I didn't realize all the valets were also pornstars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Super Dragon and the Rev Pro crew for the first time jerking the curtain on an XPW tape. There was also the time Supreme almost died falling off a ladder, that was pretty cool. You just had to suffer through endless Messiah promos and Homeless Jimmy matches to see any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have to look this up. Super serious Jaguar Yokota as a naughty kitty kat sounds like it rivals Yumiko Hotta as the oversexed nurse in YMZ who for some reason wears fishnets in her 50s. Man, those are either varicose veins on Hotta or she has a Rand McNally map of upstate NY affixed to her thighs. You also will not be able to unsee Yumiko Hotta sucking face with the referee. I guess that was a role she couldn't turn down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch in 1987 gave us wrestling results from Brad Hart, Bingo Warrior, Cowboy Bob Gordon, and Rockin' Robin somehow became Rockin' Lilly. I saw one last year that proudly trumpeted an appearance by Seth "Franklin" Rollins. Which both makes me laugh thinking about a wrestler looking for a tough nickname and somehow settling on "Franklin" and also the idea of Seth Rollins having a Franklin puppet a la Arrested Development 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SturmCRF Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I dreamt last night that Roman Reigns finally lost his Undisputed WWE Universal Title to... Eddie Kingston. WWE and AEW had done some sort of mutual cooperation/exchange thing, but I can't remember who AEW got out of the deal. I don't hate that booking though.

I just recently saw a match with that dude and had to rewind to be sure. But then, he kept saying it, so it wasn't just one slip. It's funny watching WWF up until about '87. It was still a bit unpolished at that point. On like MSG and Spectrum shows, you'd still have the old-school ring announcers and random old dudes mingling around ringside and stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
