I suck at math but if that is july 10th congrats. I hit 51 that day. Got a show 2 days afterwards,and unlike every other show happening near my birthday most years,this one is inside and they got A/C.

Got on the VS Red Rock West Blu ray. Already a mega improvement on the old 4:3 DVD i found 20 years ago at a Dollar General. Loved this film since the now ex wife rented it one night in the mid 90s. Neo Noir with Nic Cage,Dennis Hopper and Lara Flynn Boyle. Cage is a drifter in Wyoming. Gets mistaken for a hitman that is coming in to kill someones cheating wife.

Seems like every video store back in the 80s had that one horror movie that was never in and had a great box cover. Curse of Was that film for me. Then 2003/2004 ish Brentwood licensed a pile of titles from Troma and put out multipacks. One I got had Curse on it. Hell yea,called the buddies. Talked the then wife into going to see her parents with the kid that evening. Gonna sit there drink beer,smoke and just enjoy a film I had wanted to see for over 20 years. If I had seen it in the mid 80s I would have enjoyed it enough to make a copy. But by early 2000s it was another that I saw once off dvd and it sat on the shelf until someone I knew moved and had nothing to watch but dvds. Gave her close to 200 different horror films on DVD. Not all as bad as Curse.

If I'm thinking of the right film... Got it on dvd from Troma and the cover is better than the film. Film aint horrid but can't live up to that title.

The stack of Heavy Metal. Most are pure reader copies. But a few are pretty decent shape.

I had read Born Again as it was coming out monthly. But dont think I have read it since maybe the early 2000s. The pics I got sent showed Conan Comics and the huge stack of Twilight Zone mags. Turned out to just be 1 Conan comic and after 3 beat to hell Superman issues was teh stack of Heavy Metals.

Read the TPB of Born Again about 2 months ago. Now my GF is reading it. Maus.... read that twice now. Once back when it first came out in TPB form. Then 2 or 3 years ago when a few schools in MS banned it I found new copies and re-read it. Amazing piece of art but a hard read. Got clued in the local junkstore had"Comics and magazines it looks like you will love" Just got back. Paid $1.50 an issue Heavy Metal May 77,Jul 77,Aug 77,Sept 77,Oct 77,Nov 77,Dec 77,Jan 78,Feb 78,Oct 80,Sept 81,Oct 81,Nov81,Mar 82,Apr 82,May 82,Jun 82,Jul 82,Aug 82,Sept 82,Oct 82,Nov 82,Jan 83,Feb 83,Mar 83,Best of Heavy Metal, Twilight Zone Magazine Jun 83,Aug 85 Lady at the register told me "Go back get you another for free" Grabbed issue 5 of the Gold Key run of Dark Shadows. So been flipping thru all this and reading random stories out of each mag.

For a long time this was my favorite match I saw in person. 5th row right next to the ramp. Drunk as hell with my Dad and two cousins. Vender started serving me beer once he learned I was shipping out in 2 months for Army BCT.

Short version I got told was asked to get paid in advance. Then never contacted booker to let them know Davey was taking a closer booking. Might be more to it not sure. Byron Willcot is on the list. I know of more non-wrestlers on the list than wrestlers. No one yall would have heard of. A few refs,some ring announcers and a commentary team. Last one was a combo of one guy already having heat with most of the roster and having never been to a show so far,and the other guy then trying to get paid twice...

Pretty sure he is blackballed from most feds in TX. I know he is on my local fed's Davey Richard list. So named cause Davey Richard was the first to catch a ban from the fed 16 or 17 years ago.

Yea he beat his GF. And was one of the ones implicated in the Andy Dalton speaking out stuff.

Masada is a dick. Was at at VIP <DFW based fed> show. Promoter made sure everyone knew the rules. 1.No brawling near the new projector 2.no grabbing anything off merch tables to hit each other with. Masada ,who was tehre when the rules were laid down. Brawled out of the ring knocked over the projector. Then tried to grab my laptop off the table. I told him to stop got called a "F@g mark ass bitch" Then refused to catch Keith Lee on a dive out of the ring. Someone not booked that day,who was in Texas at the time and had a Peacock Docu-series made on them,went into the locker room and told Masada "I'm walking to my car either you got balls and will come fight me . Or you are a pussy ass fucker and wont" Masada got up got his pay and went out the other door and left.

https://youtu.be/cE8vc_XobyU Ringside cam Round 2 Down on the Bayou tourny Rey Fury vs RJW Two faces. RJW normally in BIW tags up with Gio Savage as Muddy Waters. Rey is one of those guys that wrestles 2 or 3 times a week. Spending most of the weekend traveling. Has a great table set up. And merch...He sold Rey Fury F Bath Bombs at one time. RJW is one of the funniest guys in the area. Always love seeing him. He sells whips at his table. Best RJW moment,and his wife was next to me filming from the balcony when this happened. Ocean Springs MS is a former sundown town. AWA PRO for 2 years ran at least once a month in the OS civic center. RJW was facing Nightmare Jeremiah. Jeremiah carries a chain to the ring. RJW got the whip. Spot was he chains Nightmare to the cornerpost with Nightmares back to the inside of the ring. Then RJW whips him. I had been told this was gonna happen so had went up in the balcony to film it. Get up there there is RJW's wife with their camera. I see Nightmare getting "chained" to the ring post. RJw gets back gets his whip and yells "REPERATIONS!" His wife just shook her head and started laughing. I was trying to no laugh since I was filming handheld.

https://youtu.be/130y-56VnkM?si=2eE41PI7Pk5KFSdt Main event DOG COLLAR MATCH If Steve Anthony wins Southern Royalty must disband. If King Rob Love wins Steve must rejoin SR and "Be my BITCH" So years back Steve pulled a massive heel move on everyone. Dude faked dying in the ring... https://youtu.be/YNIn2FakI-w He retired and came back 2 years ago for limited dates. King Rob Love took over Southern Royalty after steve left,and really made it better. At one time they controled the tag and Southern Heavyweight titles. Last dog collar match left a bloody handprint on the wall and a chair covered in blood. that was apoc vs nightmare jeremiah,footage is on the channel. This one,i got clued in early on "Going all over,there will be blood,all of SR does a run in. Keep the kids and idiots back." Which means stay close while filming and anyone gets close throw an arm out. I haven't seen Steve uses the Mythian Warrior outfit since he faced Pentagon Jr down in Meuraux LA right when LU was hitting the airwaves. As of right now,it's wrestling retirements do not stick,this is the last in ring action in BIW for Nightmare Jeremiah.

https://youtu.be/9YJagfkfKvI?si=5zFGN2ud4iGLdaxk Round 2 BIW Down on the Bayou Tournement match Was suppose to be Exodus Prime vs Apoc Adam Asher And yes the town this was held in LOVES Apoc. I dont think you could fill a venue out in Texas where he is from with his family and get a louder pop when he came out. APoc had to pull out. No replacement was mentioned. I see Exodus Prime come in. Talked to him for a second. Then later I see this guy that looks like Grady and Rollo from Sanford and Son had a kid. Just figured he was a buddy that rode in with one of the cars from TX, BIW mostly uses LA and TX talent. That Grady/Rollo looking dude is Chip Mandalay. And I wasn't expecting much out of this match. Stole the show for me. So glad I got it filmed from ringside. Great back and forth action. Wish the crowd was a bit more into it. Odds are this will make my top 10 matches i saw live in 2025 list.

https://youtu.be/i5M7VgX141k Tag team title match from the same show Only stationary camera footage this time. I waited 28 minutes to get a burger and fries. Champions HORSEPOWER(Eddie Martinez and Nate Collins) VS HATE CITY(Frankie Thomas and Wess Warren) During the match a lady comes out to ringside that is Britanny,who is Frankie's wife. Storyline is they have split up.

https://youtu.be/VQbNfb9Kl5A?si=Ikdqy3ma6dYpK-YV Same show as last match I posted. This is from my camera on the stage,i am ringside in a grey shirt filming Rey Fury vs RJW Round 2 of the Down on the Bayou tournement. BIW is running this tournament. Most shows having 1 or 2 matches from it on the line up. Rey Fury is a FL based now wrestler that has been all over the south. Worked NWA,AEW Dark and IWA MS. He also since about a year into his career ,2014ish is when he started,has used Yeet Yeet as a catchphrase "Gimme two claps and a Yeet Yeet" Not long after Rey left the Jackson MS area to move to Pensacola Jey Uso started using Yeet. Now sure Rey never filed the paperwork to own the phrase. And with Rey being a masked wrestler one of hte local jokes is it is Jey Uso under the mask. The day of this show was 2 days before Rey's birthday. So I had him two small gift. I know his snack of choice is gummi worms. He walks in and I tossed him a bag. What he didnt know was I was the one to set up the locker room. WWE has these blind bag wrestler heads. That you put oon your thumb for thumb wrestling. I got a box cheap. Opened every pack and sell them at my table 3 bucks each or 4 for 10 bucks. I had kept a Jey Uso head. As I was setting out the chairs in the locker room. Knowing Rey normally sits in the corner i left that head on the corner chair. RJW is another in the area that should be better known. Big dude,height and mass wise. But like Terry Gordy he can move when needed. Bayou Independent Wrestling 6-7-2025 Brookhaven MS Opening match Suge Whyte,Alex Arsenal and Nightmare Jeremiah (in his final BIW match) vs Raza Rayleigh,Gio Savage and Baron Von Storm aka Tim Storm. Before the doors opened I had passed out 20 streamers. Plan was shower Nightmare with them after his match. We didnt realize it was the opening match. So you will see a few fly.

Most local business got something like that on their signs. But then a town of under 5k with 200 churches I am not surprised.

SHit sorry I am horrible with names. She took on a rookie out of Texas named Catalina. Decent match. Crowd had no idea who either was. But got behind the match and both ladies had a big line at their tables. I got a signed pic and need to add it to the wall. Just gotta figure out where I put it.

I got close to 6 months of WOW on the DVR. Need to just start with the newest episode and get back into it. Gia Michaels,not sure her WOW name,worked my local indie back in Jan or Feb. Damn good match.

When I first moved to this area I was wondering why a town this small and this poor had 12 or so boutique clothing stores on the main street and then a shoe repair shop. Figured at least one was a front. Shoe repair place is one that has been in that family for 3 generations. The locals go there to get new dress shoes and boots. Do think they do much shoe repair. And the clothing boutiques are mostly used by folks from outside the area. One is a wedding place that you got people coming in from Jackson and the coast to get dresses.

The Thrift in town is one I hit every week. Their DVD/Blu Ray section aint big. And most weeks I sort it while looking. I just do alphabetical for them. Aint gonna do like home and break it down by genre and then if I got say 5 copies of TCM74 on DVD/Blu ray put them in release order.

No that is the two cell phone repair and accessories stores in town. Got a new phone,odd brand so cant just get a case anywhere. We got 4 cell stores in town so hit one by the now dispensary.... Walk in inch of dust on everything. Guy walks out of the back looking surprised to see a customer. Hand him my cell ask if they got a case for it. Get told he has never heard of that brand so nope. Goto next store same thing. Dust on everything,seeing cell phone chargers in package that have to be 10 years old hanging on pegs. This time guy is at counter watching something on his tablet. Figured both are fronts for something. Had a great burger joint in the town I grew up in. Amazing burgers and cheap. Hand cut fries. And a can of cheap soda,faygo or RC was like 5 bucks. Was place you walk in place order,step to the side and get order and leave. Was there 2 years,leave the coast,come back to Xmas the next year place is boarded up. Was drug front. Allegedly some part of the Dixie Mafia was running shit thru the burger place.

The last 3 trips to NOLA we ate at Juan's Flying Burrito. A Lucha themed Mexican place. Amazing food. And one location is far enough from the Quarter to not be packed and easy parking. But yea I normally would get some kind of seafood while down there. Picky about seafood. Grew up in a family where both my grandpas worked the Gulf and my dad did on the weekends,then when I got older that was his main job running a shrimp boat. So sure there is great seafood in NOLA. Nothing beats my memories of it being summer we just dumped the net from a 1 hour haul. And I get told "pick out the biggest one I am gonna boil them with corn and taters for dinner" Sitting on the back of the boat,picking the shrimp and seperating them. Shit sorry sounding like Forest GUmp here. This was 86 and 87 mostly.
