Someone please keep Gabe Kidd from buying dogs or a pool.

Yeah it's not up yet for some reason. Least not that I could find
32 minutes ago, just drew said:I can't find it either.
You have to go to the Sports tab and then look under Replays. I found that out via Googling last night.
HBO's app is so wildly inconsistent. Usually, you can search "AEW" to find the replay but this time searching for it doesn't show it, and it's in that other spot. Also, I complained a few weeks ago that Dynamite isn't on the home screen when it's on live in a few minutes. I was told if you scroll the banner, it's there. Well it is there...maybe half the time. Yeah, just really low effort, bargain basement streaming partnership. I'm hoping they move to a different streamer eventually (for this and other obvious reasons).

Is last night's Collision not listed on HBO's app for anyone else?

No hyperbole...Beefcake was between 3 and maybe 6 times the worker Danhausen is. I rewatched a bunch of 80s WWF a while back and one thing that struck me was how at least competent all those guys we thought were stiffs actually were. Damn near anybody who made it to WWF after years of territory work could at least go out there and not embarrass themselves.

I remember really enjoying season 1 and then not being able to get into season 2. Some shows are like that for me, where maybe the layoff kills my interest or possibly season 2 just feels like more of the same and I've seen enough. But anyway, season 1 was good.

Starks and Mariah stay in developmental while Phil's own Ed Leslie gets a main roster debut on PPV. What a company.

Have I mentioned how much I love it when MJF stops his promo dead it its tracks to yell at dead quiet fans to shut up because he's actually afraid of a quiet crowd and needs them to make noise to validate him? Every time I think he's pretty good, he does this amateur hour shit. Two world title reigns, countless main events, hasn't grown as a wrestler in years unless you count PEDs and Turkish hair.

Gonna use one of my ten yearly posts to drop a tangy take - Gabe Kidd is a very much a natural babyface badly miscast by circumstance as a heel.
His speaking voice, baldness, all-too-real mental health history and inescapable role as a Bullet Club-type have railroaded him into a role that belies the fact that his best qualities are his bumping and selling and whatever "fire" means. Gabe Kidd's current "hype value" is predominantly due to being half of the reigning Match of the Year winners, a match where he got the life beat out of him with a psychological structure that wasn't too far from a double-turn. But in his week-to-week role he's another madman in a crimson sea of madmen.
Thesis being; Gabe Kidd is miscast as Buzz Sawyer when he's really a lower-stakes Steve Austin. Or to say it in the most hyperbolic way possible, "If Gabe Kidd had the Gilberg gimmick, he could have been World Champ!"

Yeah, this is why I agree he'd be a better babyface. His heel character is so "I am very badass" it's cringe as fuck. "OY LOOK AT ME BRUV I'M MENTAL!" Given his real life issues and vulnerability, he could be the British version of Hangman instead of this overblown tough guy shit

Bill Pullman's son has this weird thing where his lower lip is sucked in and immobile, so it looks like he's dipping all the time. Takes me right out of his films.

The cool thing about God of War is the gameplay. Nothing else about it is remotely interesting. This is like making a TV series out of Pong.
I'm not even so sure about the game. I played the first Norse one and beat it, but it was so repetitive and so much "go here do this, then eventually go back there because you've leveled up or the lake has dropped and revealed more shit." Just a chore, especially for someone like me who gets really antsy when I feel like I've missed something. I started the second game and noped out after the first level.
PS skill trees are mostly bullshit and I hate them. I'm a god and have been doing this shit for years. What sense does learning and leveling up make at all???

Great moments in fixing things:
The boombox-shaped thing (Soundstream Cannon) I use as a bluetooth speaker wasn't acknowledging anything when I pressed the power button. I unplugged it, light turns off, plug it back in, and things turn on. And the button works again too. It's a little different than the times where the buttons didn't work and it wouldn't turn off but I've found that if it doesn't get unplugged on occasion then it'll get stuck like that one day and unplugging it for a certain length of time kinda reboots it (it takes longer if it's stuck on and you're unplugging it until the lights go off). Also there's a tiny remote with tiny batteries that hasn't worked in years.
Also, the speaker is a brand that hasn't been sold in years. So i'm having to remember things like how to 'reboot' it and remembering to not install iOS updates on my phone while the speaker is on. But it's had a pretty solid run for something I didn't realize the utility of until I figured out it sounded better to play stuff through a speaker than through my phone
It took me three reads to realize you mean "turned the lights off on the speaker" and not "I turned off the lights in the house and that fixed the speaker."

2. Stripes was playing on the TV the first time I ever fooled around (more than kissing) with a girl.
It was Clive Barker's Nightbreed for me. No wonder I'm such a mess.

Well, it's not been through the post production touch up, so....
I hope that's the case, because this looks like bad cosplay or porn.

I'm guessing they tell the Greek section via flashbacks.

These dumb fucks don't know shit, to boot. Alvarez explained the mechanics of outside the ring moonsaults, and the "moonsault to land on your feet" variety was exactly what Ford was trying to do. Say what you want about him, but the guy was a worker, and also a gymnast, so he probably knows what he's talking about.

oh yeah, Superbrawl 5, the show where some RSPW posters were posting "Shoot Vader Shoot"
(hopefully people who were posting about wrestling on the internet in 1995 were smart enough to figure out why Vader wasn't gonna shoot on Hogan)
Also, just because he was good at stiffing dudes doesn't necessarily mean Vader could throw down. But hey, it was 1995, nobody knew shit. I think UFC drastically brought a lot of people's notions of what a fighter is back down to Earth.
Now I'm wondering if Hogan learned anything about taking care of himself from Matsuda. The idea of Vader stiffing Hogan, only to get put into a sugar hold and crying, is pretty funny.

First show I went to was a WWF house show in '94. Before it even started my sis decided to drop the hammer and go on about how wrestling is fake by pointing out the microphones under the ring. My heart kind of sank but there was still fun to be had. I picked up a Bret Hart water bottle that I still have somewhere (barely if ever used it) and I remember they did 'Taker/Yoko in a casket match that was a big pile of nothing. That and barely remembering I got to see Bret is all I got for that one. The next show however was Superbrawl 5 which I enjoyed a lot more.
Hold up, how could I have forgotten most of this show with a card like this?
Damn, I had no idea SuperBrawl 5 was held in Baltimore. I'm guessing that was in my "not watching WCW because it's corny as fuck seeing 1995 WCW cosplay 1986 WWF" phase.
What sound does 260 pounds of shit hitting the ring make? KWANG!

If Danhausen is in that box, that would be hilarious, since he was the "I want to actually wrestle and be taken seriously" guy fairly recently. No Gimmicks Needed Steve the Samurai over here.
After humiliating him for a few years, HHH has the greatest opportunity to fuck with Punk yet again here. Colt Cabana is in the box.

Social media was a mistake. The ability to reconnect with high school pals is greatly outweighed by the damage done by misinformation, mass manipulation, foreign bad actors fucking with elections, the empowerment of both paranoid weirdos and grifters, and gifting grade A shitheads the ability to talk shit without fear of getting hit.
Can't remember who said it but I love this: It used to be every village had an idiot. Now every idiot has a village.

I saw two WWE house shows, July of 2002 and July of 2003, at a minor league baseball stadium in Frederick, MD. Not great cards or anything, but a fun and really unique venue for a big promotion. I can see why they stopped running there, though. There was a downpour halfway through the 2003 show, causing it to get cancelled and rescheduled for, I think, September. The fun part was that just before the storm started, they were doing a test run of the Boogeyman, so he comes out to cut a promo and I swear, right when he yelled I'M THE BOOGEYMAN there was a massive thundercrack and lightning.

Quick random-ass thoughts
I loved that one leg kickflip dive by Clon. If they wanted someone to do superhuman, crazy shit and get cheers, they picked the wrong guy to play Hologram. Nothing against the artist formerly known as Aramis, but the artist formerly known as Arez is just that much better.
I could tell the gimmicked quarter gag was coming a mile away and it didn't matter. That segment was pro mahfuckin wrestling.
Missing: Roddy. Reward: $15 gift card.
Ah man, Penelope Ford can't catch a break. That sucks. But it does give us the female Skyscrapers, I guess. Team name: Death by Snu Snu.
Swerve just being like, "fuck this shit and all my character growth, I'm a bad guy again" is a little lame, unless the payoff is him catching one more, monumental, final ass whooping from Hangman and coming back to his senses, triumphing after one final temptation by the dark side.
That main event was tremendous. 8 stars, no notes. AEW is just so fun. This shit is a joy to watch. "Fun company where they have insane matches, cool stories, and ICE is not tolerated" vs "the company where the booker's wife was
seig heiling at a fascist rallyclapping along at the State of the Union this week.?" No choice at all, dudes.-

The book is no better - it's supposed to be about how the humans lost the war against the aliens, got bombed back to the Stone Age, then used some weird alien technology to learn everything again and win. Really turned me off ever reading L Ron Hubbard (which is probably just as well).
I wish I remembered the exact wording, but there was a Philip K. Dick book I read where the book's dedication read: "to Ron: I know you don't really believe all that stuff."

March 2026 Wrestling Discussion
in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
Posted · Edited by Technico Support
This was the tour where Flair worked tags (six man and regular) because he was hurt. I was at the Baltimore show on this tour a few nights later, which featured some of the most carny bullshit you've ever seen. Dusty was wrestling Tully in the main, a barbed wire match. The show went long and we were approaching curfew. Fans were getting antsy. Would we miss the main event and ask for refunds? Capetta got on the mic and announced that we had no need to worry, as the city had EXTENDED THE CURFEW! We would get our main event in its entirety!
Well Dusty and Tully got in the ring, Tully tried to hit Dusty with the something (belt? chair?), Dusty ducked and hit, I think, the big elbow, and pinned Tully. The match went maybe 20 seconds. So quite obviously, there was really no curfew extension and the arena management told them, "get your shit done and get out. We're not getting fined for you." Tremendous.
