I guess they figure that they could have snatched the bear back before Hayes got it drunk Or Hayes tried to smoke some eucalyptus leaves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmUgly Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 21 hours ago, Infinit said: Wrestling media personality Matt Koon really stuck it to all around POS Val Venis today. Such a great move. The problem is that, much like with John Milton's portrayal of Lucifer in Paradise Lost, the text added to the flag just makes Lucifer come off as a charismatic and loquacious being. That is the very last time that I will ever compare anything Milton wrote to anything Val fucking Venis wrote. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinit Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) I think most sane, rational and decent people would see the text on the flag for what it is. Which is trash. Edited February 23 by Infinit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Just got a Billie Starkz mention on the radio here. From a daytime DJ on an alternative station who usually has the most pointless comments about her desire to get “Aliens Exist” by Blink 182 as her music. No mention of which company she works for. But still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 The other interesting thing from the Observer awards is that AEW made a killing in the worst categories mostly because of the Devil angle. Remember when people told us how in the tank the Observer was for AEW. Well in terms of the observer readers that isn't really the case anymore Favorite award is always the Most Disgusting Promotional Tactic. Not sure if bring Vince back was a "promotion" idea but a #1 works for me. 1. WWE ENABLING VINCE MCMAHON AND HIM BEING BACK IN POWER/TKO KEEPING HIM IN POSITION OF POWER 197 2. WWE Continued relationship with Saudi Arabia 140 3. NWA cocaine spot on PPV 89 4. Powerslap and continuing on TV after Dana White slapped his wife 83 5. AEW signing Ric Flair 49 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only 'read' (listened to) 'Tod is God', but I have also audiobooked Hornbacker's 'Death of the Territories' and it was very, very good. I should check out more of his work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I wrote this with more words in the Book thread, but I found the Flair book kinda uneven in the sense that it had quite a bit for the 70s and 80s, and then it would just speedrun through entire years in the 90s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the title, I kinda went in expecting it to be more about Flair being the last bonafide "travelling champion". For a bio I thought it was extremely well researched, but was missing an element of other points of view. It isn't a book full of stories and antecdotes.
