Shannon Sharpe bringing up the Super Destroyers/Super Ds on one of his podcasts recently reminded me to ask this: How much different would Bill Irwin's career have looked had his brother lived? From all the podcasts I've listened to, Scott gets mentioned as a good worker and I've seen enough stuff in Dallas, Georgia, and Memphis to agree with that sentiment. He also had the size.
I'll say it, the Long Riders carried Hall and Hennig in their mini-feud in AWA. I never understood why the WrestleRock match was the Irwin's having to regular gear as opposed to a Bunkhouse match orctirbado match which would make things fair and more interesting
Oh wait, I know the answer... Verne fuckin Gagne!

Oh thank god... I honestly think Kang is and always has been a snoozefest in comics and makingchim the MCU big bad was a turd. Now bring on a decent Romany actor to be DOOM!

The Burning God
Halfway theough and now the "this kid is Mao Zedong" parallels are in full effect. At least Rin extracted her revenge for getting double crossed in The Dragon Republic but the current plan she has is a tad bit coo-coo for Cocoa Puffs.
Still a book that has me engrossed and my best friend got me Babel for my birthday so I get to see what all the fuss is about!

Michael PS Hayes
The PS stands for Putz Shmuck. You rename all the Freebirds. Girdy becomes Shlomo Ginsburg and Roberts is there Cantor!
During the summer they only book shows in the Catskills

"Hakushi's First Seder" would dethrone Fuji Vice as the greatest WWF skit of all time!

Trying to explain the Kol Nidre to Michael Hayes would likely make my head explode
I can't fathom him comprehending the Yom Kippur War and why Egypt should've attacked during Rosh Hashanah

Watching The Marvels right now and enjoying it quite a bit.
Also, Iman Vellani is a goddam treasure and needs to be protected at all costs!

Didn't Little Caesars have THE BIGFOOT pizza or was that some bizarre fever dream I had?

That is one of my favorite openings to a show ever!
The later seasons after Pamela Sue Martin left were ok but I preferred her as Nancy Drew

Moments ago...
Sandra Violet: Why she called Granny Goodnes if she's not good?
Me: Because Jack Kirby liked being ironic in his humor
Sandra Violet: What's "ironic" and who is Jack Derby?Ah the innocence of a 5 year old!

With The Dragon Republic completed it us on to The Burning God. The end of TDR was really a gut punch, even if years of pro-wrestling fandom has mase me able to spot a heel turn a mile away.
Some very unexpected turns in the second book, especially as far as Chaughan goes. If he doesntappear in book 3 then I expect RF Kuang to bring him back somehow.
Onward to book 3!

Remake "She's Out of Control" with Austin in the Tony Danza role. He can only improve that movie

Pretty much right after I finished The Poppy War I ordered it's follow-up The Dragon Republic. Where the former felt like Kuang was trying develop her voice for half the book (it was her first after all) the latter is her in full command now. Nothing, as yet feels old hat or cliched. I just finished part 1 of TDR this evening (chapters 1-10) and am just enjoying it so much.
I will press onward tomorrow. I get the feeling the 3rd book (The Burning God) will be in my hands by end of the week.

98 was Highway to Hell, which they had been building since before KOTE. Russo left Summer/Fall 99 to my recollection. Didn't the post SummerSlam stuff dovetail into Show's first title win?

Finished The Poppy War and boycdid I enjoy the hell out of it!
Itcstarts kind of generically but takes an interesting turn a few chapters before part 2. Once you're in part it gets brutal yet maintains some its whimsy. The third part strips all the whimsy away, with a pretty catastrophic ending.
Of course there are 2 more books in the series and already ordered the 2nd. Let's see if The Dragon Republic can climb out of the horrific ending of the first book (and by horrific rnding I do not mean the ending was bad but rather a GIGANTIC horrific event in world)

Someone recently took all of Dr. Johnny Fever's (Howard Hesseman) air checks from "WKRP in Cincinnati" and made a three-hour radio show out of it.
I'd listen to this station.
My guy, you can't just drop that on us and not give a link or a small sample. That's just cruel!
Oh and one more thing baby... BOOGER!!!

So Skandor Akbar was a babyface in Crockett's NWA Dallas? That dog don't huntxfor me. I'd rather Sick Murdoch be the face trying to some sense into Kevin Von Erich than have Capt. Redneck team with Valentine

Brian Adias was so vanilla, I'm still confused how they booked him in Texas title runs
(oh he wasn't afraid to bleed every now and then, that's right)

I've already made multiple jokes about how much Brian Adias looks like 1980s Dave Meltzer when I review World Class episodes that I watch
I've never seen them together at the same time....
[Inner monologue is Dana Delaney as Lois Lane]
Why is Brian never around when Dave Meltzer appears? Could it be... no that's ridiculous, Dave Meltzer is, well Dave Meltzer and Brian is [turns head to watch Adias execute the "Oriental Tool" on one of the Simpson brothers] just Brian
[Dave Meltzer turns to the camera and winks]

FEBRUARY 2024 Wrestling Talk
in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
Posted · Edited by J.H.
Michael Hayes feels like he could show up on According To Jim as a cocky singer who tries to be Jim Belushi's blues band new singer but gets kicked out when Courtney Thorn Smith finds coke in his banana hammock
