Biff Busick is awesome but the name "Oney Lorcan" is a career killer.

First thought: they have had so many titles that I don' know what the difference is between the top two and which one he still needs Second thought: so...congratulations on what, excatly? Being around long enough to amass some titles in an era where belts are akin to the town bicycle?

Speaking of the Babadook, apparently it was listed under LGBT films on Netflix so now there's a meme where Mr. Babadook is now being used as a gay pride icon. LOL: Changing my profile pic in solidarity...

Just name it "Cowboy Bill Watts Extended Metaphorical Blowjob Tribute Pro Wrestling" and JR will be cool with it. He may even do commentary for free.

It was so laughably godawful when Hayes and Garvin debuted their new gimmick at one of the Clashes. Terrible song, mistimed lip syncing, absolutely shit gear. Oh man that fucking gear. Studded vest, snakeskin patch tights, fingerless gloves, hat, and cane? Motherfucker looked like a post-apocalyptic Debbie Gibson. Looked like a Castro District thrift shop exploded. He needed to remember Coco Chanel's cardinal rule, "Once you've dressed, and before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take at least one thing off." Heavy emphasis on the "at least one thing" part.

Knockoff Dustys like Dirty Rhodes and Reo Rodgers would even be better.

First thing I thought of was Blacula, then I started hoping for a Blaxploitation shared universe instead.

Unless you can fill the place and get a good deal of floor seating, too, baseball stadium shows always end up looking sparse and sad. I went to a few shows years ago when WWE would book the stadium in Frederick, MD, and that's probably the best I've seen a minor league park laid out for wrestling.

Holy shit, I didn't put 2 and 2 together when I was listening to the podcast but you're exactly right. That was definitely Hyatte.

Word. i was going to check Wikipedia to see the exact time the IC title stopped meaning something but I absolutely lost the will. It was definitely sometime in the late 90s, the same time all the belts became meaningless hot potatoes. I remember being blown away when guys won the IC belt for the 2nd or 3rd time. The fact that The Miz has held it 7 times is a testament to something, and it's not how great a champion he is.

"You've been fined 10 times. You could have bought a car." "I already have a car, I just like to get high."

Watching Nice Boys (Don't Play Rock and Roll)...a match just ended in a falcon arrow and Excalibur and Chuck Taylor lost their shit. Also fans chanting "Ed Sheeran" at Jake Crist. Line of the night so far was Chuck Taylor talking about how he was watching WCW once and Tony Schiavone called Harlem Heat one of the best "brother tag teams" of all time. Taylor forgot they were siblings and thought Tony was saying they were a great black team.

Fun story from the Young Bucks on WOR: The Bucks/Bullet Club have a deal with Hot Topic now. Dave asked how the deal came about and one of the Bucks told the story: A Hot Topic exec was at Mania weekend and saw Bucks, Omega, and BC shirts everywhere. Assuming these were WWE Superstars (it was Mania weekend, after all), he asked his merch contact at WWE how he could get some of those shirts for Hot Topic stores. The WWE rep sheepishly told the Hot Topic exec that none of them work for WWE. The exec finally found the shirts on prowrestingtees or somewhere like that and was able to track the Bucks down from there.

1. Razor Ramon (Rick Bogner version) 2. Melina (Bret Hart asked me to cast this vote for him) 3. The Big Dog Roman Reigns 4.Bryan Adams (the singer, not the wrestler) 5. Batista's dick

I'm glad somebody is as old as I am and got the reference

Doing the Lord's work. Thank you.

Shouldn't Tully be the one reading Black Tail and Arn reading American Bear? Also, what kind of animal just hangs out in khakis, shirtless?

Hey, two guys are wearing honest to goodness tights and all three have what is now acceptable footgear. Baby steps.

Brother Bruti looks like the love child of Farah Fawcett and Nicholas Cage

Just sundowning, nothing at all to worry about.

LOOOL

I'm almost finished Only Kings...I'm really impressed with how Chuck is able to make Sabre watchable.

Holy crap that's depressing. Stay on the right side of the law, kids. My first IT job was at one of the big three firms in my city. Most of the attorneys seemed miserable and stressed over meeting the billable hours quota.

All my dudes, have a great 3 day weekend if you have that luxury. It's going to be pretty much rained out here in the DC suburbs but I'd still rather be home than here at work.
