If we are getting this match in the Bash series then we are in for a treat. It's '87, but worth showing the photos that just popped up on Facebook. From Reunion Arena in Dallas: The page was Book Pro Wrestlers by Steve Stasiak, which I don't follow but probably should, it just showed up in my random feed.

If you're watching all of these could you kind of compare the ones that are the same on multiple cards for us? Like I would prefer to see a better version of the six-man tag or the strap instead of a lesser one. I'm of course gonna go ahead and compare the Taped Fists.

I had to think a minute and then go look it up, but it was worth it. Christ, I haven't seen the movies in years. I DID see the sequel in the last year or so on TV though, and it's still really good. I always thought it was the better one too.

That was one of those where I thought, “there might be 15 people that get this, but they’re gonna LOVE it.”

You guys like Ice Road Truckers shit as much as us down here? My folks eat that right up. You'd think that actually dealing with stuff like that on a regular basis might dim the appeal -- but then again it IS big views of calamity and humanity has never been able to turn those down. What is Bowens good at in-ring? Is he just a solid hand? Is there any thing we can work with here aside from getting rid of the stupid gear and the nicknames? (I for one liked the Open Challenge as well, haven't seen it in a week or two though. I thought maybe they shuffled him to ROH or something, where he belongs.) Here's a thought: if you get them back together, have Bowens as muscle and Caster as just manager, a little buzzing mosquito being a shit. But please... no more rapping.

Way of the Blade pod has been really fun with their current Canonical project. Starting with different Death Match companies/ areas and it sounds like it’ll go into other forms of wrestling. I listened out of order and still enjoyed it. Highly recommend and it’s my favorite pod to look forward to now.

And we got Bash 86 from Greensboro today: https://youtu.be/ayg_JMatJ24?si=bmvhTQ9SzdhhxME3 It’s new to you if you didn’t see when it was a Hidden Gem. The card is..

That's what I've read. She's supposedly doing backstage work and a producer-like role. Don't quote me because I don't remember where I read that.

I may be totally making this up, but doesn’t Nyla have some sort of backstage role with AEW now?

I figured it had been shut down long before now.

Kinda. An issue as a result of moving to storage on the system instead of memory cards. WhatsTheStatus who is a prominent creator in the 2K community recently had to create a new profile to be able to upload more CAWs to users but that also means a fresh save file so he had to do all the unlocks again.

Totally works as that kind of storyline baked in “stamp of approval” that endorses Hangers title reign AND evolves Swerves character at the same time. It doesn’t mean the rivalry is over. But it’ll be different from that point forward with the threat of regression always dangling overhead.

would've been very apropos for the 90s if they'd kept the US Express name while selling out to Dibiase. probably a bit too on the nose for Vince though.

I think Nyla kinda falls in the same category as Baker, where at one time she was one of the best options in the women's division, then the talent level passed her by. And, although she has shown great personality on social media, that hasn't translated on actual AEW/ROH programming. Personally, I always thought she was kinda sloppy... she was bigger than the other women and had a gimmick of a "beast", but she didn't appear to actually be strong enough to safely do a lot of the big moves she tried, unless she was working a twig like Riho.

I’m surprised when Austin was on the outs they didn’t have a midget come out as Chilly McFreeze just to shit on him.

I'm much happier knowing I won't be hearing Anthony Bowens yell 'Everyone loves the Acclaimed' any week soon. Bowens promos were amongst the worst in the business while aligned with Caster. His promos continue to need work. He's a young guy with nice upside, but it's gonna be a long road of 50/50 for him. And that's how it should be. If he gets over we can talk 'Push'. Until then, yeah, he needs to keep plugging away and find new ways to connect to the audience. To start he should definitely go with one nickname, I think we all agree the lame 5 tool bit has to go. They should also trim the dramatic opening portion of his theme music and come in with the guitars. I wanna say Max Caster should keep doing his thing, but wish we could move along from the pre-match long-winded chant along.

Even better.

I should really stop being surprised by things you can bet on, but I had no idea you could place a wager on individual pitches.

That sounds totally on brand for Melvin Van Peebles. He did direct Watermelon Man and Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song (which I still need to see). I think if a different director or a different writer had made the movie not about a shark getting revenge, but did a 'bait and switch' with the shark to do what they wanted, maybe they wouldn't have. Or maybe they would've still, this is Melvin Van Peebles we're talking about lol.

I want to see Danhausen put the curse on the stuffed iguana

In full agreement. Nyla Rose is great, she's funny and underutilized. A love also according to our very own NikoBaltimore and his wife.

Looks like there is but only through the publisher themselves: https://www.nacongaming.com/en-US/robocop-unfinished-business

So, Diamond owes Dynamite over a million dollars. They also have virtually all of Dynamite's inventory of comics in their warehouses. A judge denied a motion to expedite the upcoming hearing currently scheduled for the 16th. Dynamite is saying that they won't be able to make payroll this week. Further, Diamond's inventory of comics is quite possibly going to be liquidated to cover their debts, meaning Dynamite is unlikely to even get back the comics that Diamond isn't moving and not paying for.
