DEAN~!!

[Curt McGirt]

Mine is getting here today so between Rampage, the unwatched Dynamite with the DRAMATIC ASSAULT, and this I got a big night of wrestling! (I also got that new Blu Ray player because hey, I might want to watch this, my 1000 other DVDs and single Blu Ray of Thief... someday)

No Rampage tonight (they’re doing another live post-Collision tomorrow) so you might be able to sneak in one of the other 1000 DVDs instead.

Nah, I got my BR in. It's all Action to-nite! (Fits the Regurgitate tape and the Poison Idea book I got in too with all the blood )

Here's my write up of the show:

[Curt McGirt]

I STILL haven't finished watching the whole show, and even put it right next to the computer to visually shame myself last night, but no dice. I did watch an NJPW 10-man and a Mayumi Ozaki match from 2024 however. He would approve.

I have tomorrow off work so there are no more excuses.

Well, guess you have to save something for DEAN 2

[Death From Above]

Got my Blu Ray in the mail. Just some beautiful DVDVR art, that cover. It will sit in a place of honor on my Shelf of Cool Shit with Primus albums, the old school Alien films, Breaking Bad, and the complete book series of Stephen King's The Dark Tower.

Hey guys I'm not actually on screen but just know that at 1:22 or so, that trash can may not have hit Demus, but it sure hit me...

 

(Hey actually you can see me clearly at ringside at the 2:03-2:04 mark watching the chair-assisted corner dropkick; I assume that's (BP) to my right)

I was shopping just now and I was checking out the magazine stand. Lo and behold, the latest issue of PWI was on the stand. It was covering Mania weekend and they have some pics from the DEAN show with a mention of who Dean was and how he influenced many including Tony Khan through DVDVR, and the results of the show.  I almost bought it but I just read it there in the store and put it back.

If I see that at work it's mine.

[NikoBaltimore]

Damn, I'll have to look out for that. 

[Curt McGirt]

Not here, but that gives me an excuse to go to Barnes and Noble tomorrow.

[Curt McGirt]

Was that the May issue? Because I skimmed it pretty hard at B&N and didn't see anything. 

Side note, PWI only being $7.99 now is something totally unexpected. They cram a lot of info into that glossy little thing (smaller than it used to be). I almost bought it straight out because of all the Japan stuff but flinched.

Magazines are crazy expensive now. 

[AxB]

The circulation goes down (because of the internet), the profits go down because of reduced circulation, the price goes up to offset the reduced profits, and that drives circulation down further because people see the high price and say "I'm not paying that".

Eventually all magazines will cost like $50 each and will only be bought by Magazine Collectors, who will regard them as investments that will increase in value.

The issue in question is the August 2024 one and has Cody on the cover .

I learned this lesson the hard way when I grabbed some Tom Petty retrospective after he died.

[Curt McGirt]

I've thought about at least getting a Fangoria sub but all the news ends up online and I can read the rest at the store if I want. A lot of mags are still alive though, surprisingly. The Dark Side and Filmfax?! Still running.

Quote

o celebrate #PrideMonth, we would like to proudly spotlight the LGBTQIA+ members of the Zero1 USA roster!

Zero1 USA Heavyweight Champion MAD DOG CONNELLY debuted in 2018 under the name “Handsome” Dan Liplock. For years, Liplock was a mainstay on the pre-show and undercard of Zero1 USA. However, in 2020, Liplock underwent a full-blown transformation that would change the landscape of his career for good. On September 26th, 2020, Zero1 USA bore witness to the birth of Mad Dog Connelly who, since then, has only evolved in terms of presence, charisma, and in-ring skill. Now in 2024, Connelly reigns at the top of the mountain in Zero1 USA as the Heavyweight Champion. With seven successful defenses under his belt and 176 days into his reign, the world watches to see what moves Connelly will make throughout the remainder of 2024.

Zero1 USA celebrates Heavyweight Champion Mad Dog Connelly during Pride Month 2024!

"Handsome" Dan Liplock. Well then. 

Happy Pride Month!

Gonna have to hit the one local store that carries PWI.

I still buy it when I find it. Cause 8 bucks for a copy. Read it ,then toss it on the table and sell it for 5. Pay 3 bucks to read almost drops it down to what they were costing when I stopped getting them in the mid 90s.

[Death From Above]

After seeing that dog collar match, no doubt about whether Mad Dog is a top or a bottom.
