I was thinking Hangman standing tall, Ospreay and a few other babyfaces congratulating him and Swerve watching from the ramp, giving begrudging respect.

Are they doing a physical version of Unfinished Business? Or is it strictly digital since it’s a “standalone expansion”?

Marty The Moth I heard had a bad back injury but did work Cage on AEW Dark

Spike Lee has talked about Do The Right Thing Being about people putting property above human life. One thing I didn't notice first time is after the cops kill Radio Raheem (with a choke hold which they are not supposed to do cause its considered lethal force) the public announcement mentions a commission to investigate the arson but not about the police killing a young black man. The love hate thing is interesting in the LOVE is on the RIGHT hand. and most of the characters show elements of both, Sal has a temper, Buggin Out may have a point but goes about it in the most obtuse way possible (I always find myself thinking this would be like going into a Soul Food place and getting worked up about say a picture of Barrak Obama on the wall and being like Where are the white people?) , Radio is a bit of an ass toward the koreans and Sal, ect. Now some people have interpreted the ending as Mookie did the right thing that by throwing the trash can he redirects the crowds anger away from Sal and towards the pizzeria potentially saving his life.

someone in NXT should take the Flex Kavana name as sort of a "yes, we're doing this intentionally" joke.. like maybe they'll redo that Austin Theory/Vince thing with "Flex Kavana" and the Rock meanwhile in things claimed on Wikipedia so which angle do you take here... Windham having his knee surgeries paid for by DiBiase or IRS helping the Windham family out during their counterfeiting experience (even if IRS and counterfeiting are different agencies) The Money Express would be a name to invoke the US Express while sounding like the name of a Fast Cash store

Hangman not winning the belt after this build is some Starrcade 97 shit and I have to believe TK is smarter than that.

Flex Kavana is the most porn sounding name ever. It’s like an islander version of Chest Rockwell.

meanwhile JCC Jr has been arrested for deportation-level charges... after being allowed in for the big fight of course

It is.

If a woman made me a drink and turned on a 90s R&B playlist before sex, I'd call that a hell of a night. I don't think I'd even want to have enough sex to be into the things described in that trial. I'm just a simple man, I suppose.

The presumptive answer is he gambled it all away. It's absurd though. He was probably looking at a new contract with like $12-15 million aav for probably three years. Easily enough to cover his debts and I'm assuming a hell of a lot more than he might've made off any bets he placed on himself/any money that he was paid to rig prop bets.

Man, I get it...a woman like a Jackie/Miss Texas in pro wrestling in an era where most of the female talent is weighing around a buck o five stands out. Definition of a brickhouse. However, the amount of overzealous fans in the WMC5 Studios getting more than just a feel or hugging for just a tad bit too long is wild. Just a totally different era of pro wrestling.

you think the people of West Helena, Arkansas (now West Helena-Helena, AR) knew the star power in the Flex Kavana & Miss Texas vs Punisher & Samantha match they saw well, more on the Rock/Jacqueline side than the Bull Buchanan side Jacqueline wouldn't have had to work so hard flashing herself on PPV if she just got a cushy spot in The Nation in mid-1998

Probably picked a good time to check out.

indeed. especially years down the line, and with no paper trail to follow. What Diddy did was awful. But the prosecutors shot high on the charges, and obviously the jury felt that they didn't hit the threshold for proving what they claimed from a legal standpoint. that Jake Roberts scene from 'Beyond the Mat' seems fitting here. something about 'when you can get women whenever you want, you get bored of it and need to chase that next experience.' (i think that's a nicer way of saying what he said)

I hope they are coloured coded like the rest. But probably will be black straps maybe. May end up be indy looking or not, they don't have NJPW or NOAHs budget.

The belts are finally getting replaced. They're too old and worn out now. I predicted this several years ago on the shitty vow boards.

In my 1996 rewatch, he just showed up as Flex Kavana. Rocky Maivia is trying a little too hard. Flex Kavana is just a terrible name, but again, it's the first thing he's ever done so it can be forgiven. Also: The idea of the future biggest star across two industries wrestling in tiny Mississippi casinos and shitty high schools in middle of nowhere Arkansas is sending me.

I'm seriously bummed out. Rest in Peace, Mr. Blonde

looking at lists of late 95 billed home towns for WWF guys and thinking Dean Douglas and Jean-Pierre LaFitte could have used better hometowns than "University of Higher Learning" and "Baton Rouge" Pennsylvania has a place called "State College" if they wanted a Dean Douglas hometown that is in Shane Douglas' home state and sounds like the home town of a snooty college professor (but then again the WWF ran so heavily in the northeast that their fans would know of "State College" which is the location of Penn State) also gotta note there is a Jean LaFitte, Louisiana for Pierre to be billed from

I feel like the logical step is for Roxy to integrate herself into TJD, Liv comes back like "WTF" and they program from there. Total agreement that GAB is getting thrown to the wolves. Not sure on the ownership of Center Stage versus State Farm Arena but if they got a good deal, then I guess they had to take it. I have a feeling SNME is going to take a soak too because if you're the person watching All In, that's going to be draining either way so you might not want to see more wrestling after that. Gotta agree that nothing about Monroe says face (she may be an angel IRL) and I can only assume it's because she's matched up against Jacy and crew. They muddled the D'Angelo family stuff so bad. They need to figure something out.

It was loans

I was gonna make a crude joke about a snake but I'll stop myself. The intro of Kill Bill 2 between him and David Carradine is still one of my favorite pieces of dialogue between two characters, or just cinema period, ever. His list on Wikipedia of work is staggering. In I believe 2019 he did more movies than there were months in a year, on top of probably video games and TV. You probably don't want to watch any of them except to see him, but he's there. RIP

I knocked out the Cody birthday event last night (I have no shame in getting count out victories), the Bret birthday event (same thing) and the July Smash and Stash event. All of those packs netted me the Ruby jumpsuit Roman and a bunch of in game currency so I was able to do the encore Roman/Punk event to get the Amethyst Roman. I'll probably but the cards I don't have for the July Numbers game event.
