I remembered another thing that was mentioned on the board that shortly thereafter happened in AEW: In the original Secret Santo thread, someone reviewed a match in which traffic cones were used as a foreign object, and said "They used traffic cones as a weapon, that's completely new, never seen that in wrestling, you'd think someone would have done that before". And then like 2 weeks later was the first ever Stadium Stampede, in which Chris Jericho used a traffic cone as a weapon. Then put it on his head and pretended to be a witch, because of course he did.

I know I saw Drake Younger (long before he moved to Florida and lost his mind) vs Sami Callahan (long before he got lazy and made a whole career off of one in ring accident) in a PWG match using a traffic cone as a weapon a while back.

Traffic cones fucking hurt. They're heavy as hell. Throwing one is just as awkward. 

The shit that happens when people are fucking around backstage at a play.

It does rather depend on how big they are and if it's a solid or hollow base (the hollow bases are supposed to be filled with sand, but a lot of people don't bother putting any in, or it gets punctured).

I'm pretty sure that was me, though I have no idea what match it was

Dax with long hair.

Looks like Sam Kinison 

 

 

A few thoughts on Eddie Kingston. Eddie Kingston reminds me of Paul Heyman's description of the Tommy Dreamer character "the man oppressed". He's the ultimate underdog character so he should lose most of his feuds. He the hero in the greek tragedy who continually reaches beyond his grasp, if he ever went on a long winning streak he'd lose all that. And I think if he ever does win the Big One, he should immediately lose to MJF

You got MJF, who is evolving what you would have called the standard heel act. But he's evolving in a way that's modern, and it doesn't feel like he's just out there being a heel, it feels like he's an asshole. I talk to him and he's kind of an asshole. He's made the claim, and it's so funny, that it's impossible, there's not anybody in this world who can double leg him. He is susceptible to a single leg takedown, but nobody can double leg him because he's the "Sprawl God." He's never been double-legged his entire amateur wrestling career. I was like 'Oh, you must have had a pretty good amateur run?' He like, 'Ah, my last year was my freshman year of high school.' I was like, 'What?' Making that kind of bold claim, it's a lot of fun. I was like, 'Okay.' He is kind of this just turned up to eleven.

We definitely used traffic cones as weapons in my backyard because they were easy to steal. They're shit weapons but the go-to spot was to pretend to sodomize someone with them.

Best backyard weapon was a wet floor sign. Easy to walk out of McDonald's with one, flimsy and plastic so they don't hurt when you crack a dude in the head, but the two sides clack together and it sounds like a fucking kendo stick.

Did  the Bucks and Cutler not work the last show, and nobody else thought to film anything?

The top of those holiday popcorn tins. Swing as hard as you want. Cracks LOUD, sounds good on your camcorder.

Another week, another opportunity for a quarter of the women’s roster to make Senior Referee Paul Turner look like an overwhelmed dumbass.

I'm still over here just waiting for them to release the Bryan Danielson-under-a-mask match from those Universal Studios tapings.

Any idea why Revolution is on a non-holiday weekend Sunday?

Rampage might be booked for that Saturday, apparently a concert is taking place at the Amway Arena on Friday. Or I guess it's possible they tape Rampage after Dynamite that week, but they generally do a live Rampage before a PPV.
