zendragon Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I was listening to a podcast by Pablo Torres about the only surviving copy of Super Bowl 1. It’s wild the stuff that’s been lost just cause no one had the foresight to archive it (like that one Hitchcock film) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 It's crazy to me that they're still pulling film elements out of storage and in estate sales from dead people's collections of the most obscure films to this day. TV has to be even harder to come by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLowe Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 My wife and I have been trying to find old episodes of 120 Minutes on YT, there are a few but most have had to trim videos out because of copyright claims. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technico Support Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Just random shit: rewatching the September 2020 Parking Lot Brawl between Best Friends and PnP. The following wrestlers were extras watching the match: Puf Kevin Blackwood Daniel Garcia LOOOONG before his debut obviously Megabite Ronnie Lee Johnson I had to remind myself of the extras rule of thumb that Alvarez talked about: if the extras ("arena security," ringside shemps that get beat up or landed on, etc) are big and/or have a fucked up haircut, they're most likely an indy worker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kinda dumb; didn't he work a competitive eater gimmick? In that case, isn't "Bite" the better choice? It's also a play on words. It's not like he was working a PC repair gimmick.

It is Megabyte. One of my Discord friends, his favourite AEW match of all time is Megabyte Ronnie vs Brian Cage. He reposts it almost every week. This one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the licensed music used had to be dubbed over with sound a like songs, which is way it took so long for it to be released on dvd, which eventually came out in 2012.

I don't really recall ROH having particularly good music. And no New Jack style music over top of the bout. Or promo montage music. Am I misremembering somebody having music that was important to the show? I guess Punk's theme was impactful, but not a song I'd miss hearing. Er wait, yeah, I'd miss the Copacabana. I wish TK would buy that one and give Colt a proper push already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was always a fan of the licensed entrances, particularly El Generico's theme "Ole" by the Bouncing Souls. Of course, there was "The Final Countdown" for Danielson. Samoa Joe's theme was a good one, as was Claudio's, Alex Shelley, Austin Aries, Roderick Strong, Kevin Steen, Chris Hero with Larry Sweeney's intro. That's just off the top of my head.

Elsalvajeloco Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I was partial to Homicide coming out to Beanie Sigel But yeah, if you want to stay up on Youtube, best to clip out/mute the music. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryArchieGus Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I just looked up Larry Sweeney's entrance music and see that he rolled out to 'Rock n Roll Part 2' and Andrea True Connection 'More More More'. I'm on board with those two! The list I have also says Danielson rolled out to 'Obsession' by Animotion! Awesome, so much better than the goddamn Final Countdown.

I saw Tanaka on the October 2023 West Coast Pro show vs Vinnie Massaro. After the first unprotected chairshot to the head, I skipped to the next match. If that's all you can do anymore (this goes for both guys), fuck off down the road. 1 hour ago, Nice Guy Eddie said: Same with The State.

Nobody understands the reference when I tell them that penguins ain't natural because they're not in The Bible. Also when I long for $240 worth of pudding. The Ben Stiller Show was also great, speaking of early 90s sketch comedy. Edited April 10 by Technico Support 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
