Oh Christ, were this close to getting a haunting baby voice style knockoff version of Relax in a horror movie trailer, aren’t we?

Oh man, the world premiere of Thriller on Friday Night Videos was an event. There are two versions of the video. One is a thousand percent more super gay and I don’t think it got much, if any, US airplay. But it is online. The other version is the one we’ve seen. Somehow all the lyrics got through, though. A top 40 pop song about trying to think about baseball or maybe Margaret Thatcher in a cold day. Or in the immortal words of Eddie channeling Mr. T, “HEY BOY SLOW DOWN!”

That’s hilarious because I debated saying “Spitting Image” but so thought that would be more obscure.

It’s sad that we’ve gotten to the point where we look back nostalgically at the time when the crackpots believed in benign conspiracies. That’s awesome. I always smile when Schiavone calls a newer move or a Lucha move by it’s actual name.

Green for credit or red for credit? I always get it wrong every fucking time.

Much more disciplined eating this week (calories below 2000, protein 160-190g, no uncounted food at night), somehow lost 4lb! Probably half water but I’ll take it. Decent job of alternating weights and cardio all week, but just a walk yesterday (4 miles) because I was sore and not in a running mood). Saturday cheat day let’s go!

Absolutely. Older people who got too much shit done earlier in life look like they’re auditioning for the Land of Confusion video.

BRB gonna sacrifice a fatted calf to see if it helps

"Keep Damien 666 in your prayers" is the height of unintentional comedy today.

The first time I saw Sting wrestle (not in person) would have been on UWF TV, post Blade-Runners, managed by Eddie Gilbert and teaming Rick Steiner (who was post name change, no longer wrestling under his shoot name). I am old.

Just another patriot taken down by the deep state

It's awesome seeing Colman Domingo getting his due after being the only good thing I remember about Fear the Walking Dead.

Cena dresses like grandpa did when he worked at the bank and talks like he spent 20 years in front of a focus group

Hell nah man. Between Maryland's eastern shore and the parts of Delaware you need to go through to get to the Delmarva beaches, it's some real January 6 country.

Sentence structure, and commas, are both incredibly important.

Oh hell yes. It's not "north and south," it's "urban and rural." I lived in a more rural town in northern Maryland for a while and saw a pickup flying the confederate flag. That's when I knew it was time to move. Shit, if you drive from where I live (DC suburbs) to the Maryland seashore, you'll see some proper Deliverance type shit.

On a different note, I keep hearing that if you want to come across as edgy and cool, you need to order AEW’s next ppv. Well I’m here to just reassure you that you don’t have to watch Dynasty to have an attitude.

Ah, thanks! And giving the benefit of a doubt, I'm sure they were using candy glass and not actual glass bottles. The bad thing about light tubes is that indies don't typically drain all the hazardous gunk out first, right?

The "primadonna" stuff feels unearned, too. Yes, using real glass is stupid (IF in fact that was the issue...nobody is using actual glass panes, they're all using safety glass with the exception of your dumbest shindies) but CM Punk is not the booker or creative staff. Take the glass out of it and you have an old head, not known for his sparkling personality or diplomatic prowess, seemingly big leaguing a younger guy and telling him how to do his match. I'd be a little peeved, too.

Knowing the state of gotcha journalism and bullshit headlines, it's probably someone who only works ROH tapings.

Vinnie V mentioned on the B&V show that (I assume as part of the PPV weekend), Shayna (Mother) Wayne got to sit down and watch a Buddy Wayne vs Ricky Steamboat match with Ricky Steamboat, which is awesome.

On one hand, I feel like I want to say you need to have a plan for someone after a heel turn that's something more than "dress as generic heel #4379 and insult the fans" BUT, because all the Punk bullshit went down, we can't fairly say they had no plan because we never got to see it. Where was Perry supposed to go after Hook got his comeuppance?

Sunglasses and leather jacket to get across the point that he's a rich Hollywood asshole is really hacky. Might as well have gone all the way and changed his name to "Hollywood Jack Perry." Honestly, turning him heel was a dumb move. The catalyst for his turn was weak -- he was jealous of Hook for his made-up title! And he was just better as a fiery whitemeat babyface.

LOOOOL When I first heard the next PPV would be called "Dynasty," I hoped there'd be a stipulation match where the winner had to throw the user down an ornate staircase.

Happy bday to a damn good one! Enjoy, Paul!
