Since we don't have a weekly AEW tv thread yet. This is whats on tap for tonight

FLOWERS FOR ADRIAN: THE LIFE AND DEATH OF ADRIAN ADONIS by John Ellul 2023 255 pgs. Brian Last mentioned reading this during his and Cornette's review of DSOTR (I know he's a piece of work but I like his historical takes) pretty detailed account of the man's career, kinda dry as it details his early west coast career as a journey man wrestler, where he may or may have not picked up the name, working Amerillo and teaming with Jesse the Body in AWA. Book gets really good with his WWF run leading into the gimmick change into "Adorable" as he gained weight do to his substance abuse and became increasingly unreliable. A detailed look at that 18 month period and who was responsible for it and what Adrian may have thought of it. Really his one big money national run on top including appearing on multiple wrestlemania's. Also a chapter is dedicated to the history of "gay" wrestling gimmicks, (including Adonis's own early leather biker look which got him and Jesse coming to the ring in feather boa's F-slurs hurled at them) and how the heels where really the good guys by supporting and embracing him being true to himself. There's a promo from Don Muraco saying "in America we are free to be who we our" which brings to mind Jesse Ventura going after Hogan for interupting the Russian national anthem. , other topics include his friends Hogan and Piper and his untimely death right when he was getting himself turned around.

‘There’s endless choice, but you’re not listening’: fans quitting Spotify to save their love of music | Music | The Guardian An interesting article about the perceived negatives of spotify , I definatly think their is something to the idea of owning and physically playing media

As someone who lived through the tail end of cassettes, I don't really have a desire to go back. But I understand the appeal of actuall owning the music you listen to in what ever format

Having a child cosplay Adorable Adrian Adonis in a toy commercial was certainly a choice

Rude might just be actually under rated as far as goat lists

I was Alive for the deaths of cobain, biggie and pac but too young/sheltered to be aware at the time they happened

went to a big concert last night that was being filmed for DVD, we all had to lock up our phones in pouches. Interesting some people (myself included) remember "this is how it was back in the day!" and some younger people are incredulous. Hell I remember the OKC bombing happened when my family was on vacation and we didn't find out till we came back

Was it his last match in Amarillo? Do we have tape on Dory Jr v RVD

Yuta. BCC rule of two

I'm very much a let the facts play out type of guy but Riddle has priors where as cash does not

Knowing Riddle he likely did something to warrant the police getting involved

To kinda bring it back to wrestling The King was supposedly a big fan of Andy Kaufman’s bit also I believe I saw Dave a Brockies final LA performance, GWAR is like steel panther to me the live performances are almost more important than the actual music

To bring it back to music & wrestling new Tojo Yamamoto just dropped https://forbiddenplacerecords.bandcamp.com/album/tojo-yamamoto

I copy and paste photo's using my lap top

So Riddle claims a cop sexually assaulted him but there was some prior incident? Interesting to see what that was?

Sounds like a few of the legalized riots I've attended courtesy of The Dwarves and we have Grill Em All here in Alhambra Grill 'Em All: Welcome (grillemallburgs.com)

Consider converting to the Church of The Flying Spaghetti Monster for the endless breadsticks?
