Quick note for my non-US Triller AEW+ folks: Revolution 2020 is currently free to watch. Go get yourselves some Bucks vs Omega & Page goodness.

I know that guy (Octopus does too). It's Ryry from the AEW Discord. Same guy who had the DC hearts NYLA sign way back in the day.
When it went to PinP, Excalibur took the time to explain that it was NoVa as in Northern Virginia, and not "that guy who stole everyone's moves".
Man, they were on one in the PnP last night. So much so that all sound was muted for like 10-20 seconds at one point and then they just got back to calling the match.

Jim Ross on MJF: "He’s a very valuable asset to what is going on. Smart guy. In some ways, he reminds me of Paul Heyman in the younger days.
Jim Ross compare modern wrestler to wrestler of the past without race or ethnicity playing a part challenge (impossible)

Video tapes were so fucking expensive back then.
I just did the inflation calculator for the price of Mania 2 from an ad in the same magazine. The tape was $40 in 1986, which works out to $114 today
And 40 was still pretty cheap!
Early to mid 80's overpricing of video tapes was because the home movie ownership market hadn't taken off yet, movies were like $100 each, priced in such a way that only rental stores were able to buy them. Apparently Top Gun changed that.

I'm reading an old wrestling magazine from 1986 and there's an ad for AWA Superclash 85. They actually broke the 11 match card into 3 tapes, "hosted by Sgt. Slaughter," that they're selling separately for like $35 each or $99 for all three. Checking Wikipedia, total match time was just over 2 hours and I don't think the Flair/Magnum match was on the video tape release, so under 2 hours, really. What a bunch of carnies!

Today’s bit of useless information: the Secuitas private security company is a descendant of Pinkerton. I believe they tried to sue Rockstar for RDR2’s negative portrayal of the agents’ history.

Ok, now I'm just sad that Cody never got his own Dungeon of Doom to fight in AEW.
The Dungeon of Doom would be no match for the man who singlehandedly defeated racism!

There is the Inoki Retirement Commemorative Limited Edition of the PS1 Toukon 3 game, the only difference seems to be the title screen. Both games predates the actual Toukon 3 game.
Apparently that's the edition I had! I never knew there were two versions but it always struck me as weird for the game to only have Inoki on the cover
I owned TR2 & 3, played on a PS1 that I got chipped at a stripmall video game store in Annandale, VA.

I don't watch WWE and have only heard summaries about this show on pods, but god damn, did they really book every match in such a way to make sure nobody got over and nobody went under? Like everyone who didn't win could still leave their match with a conceivable claim that they should have won if not for x, y, or z? That is the most chickenshit booking imaginable and I feel like the only reason it works is because of the devaluing of their events in general, being on a $20 per year streamer instead of having to actually draw PPVs to stay in business. Fuck, I am old and this shit is not pro wrestling.
Old: Book angles and storylines, build wrestlers up, have a program that pays off in a satisfying way on PPV
New: Book toward mOmEnTs, which are more important than finishes, keep everyone strong

Zona 23 uses real glass. That is Jack Perry's domain, brother.
I'm just not familiar enough with lucha to know what the lucha equivalent of Noah, as a low rent, long past its glory promotion, is. Zona was the first thing that came to mind

Those big, reflective Oakleys are back in style big time with kids. My son saw some cheap knockoffs at Walmart and was begging for them. He wears them everywhere. Inside, even.
Right! One of the lifeguards at my community pool was wearing them last year, looking like Jimmy Garvin and I was befuddled at them coming back in style.

Chris Benoit is the #1 for me. He killed Woman and his son. That's pretty loathsome.
Then you have people proven of sexual assault (and note I say PROVEN), with Buck Zumhofe and Bob Sweetan being the lowest of the low for going after their own children.
It'd get depressing real real quick.
Throw Grizzly Smith on the pile of the "wrestling people who are smoking turds in hell if the universe is a just place" list. There's a special humidor with Vince's name on it ready to go, as well.

It has very much been my intention that once I start compiling the massive 90's playlist on Spotify, Informer will be one of the first tracks included. Haven't gotten around to it, as of yet, though.
I have an almost 5-hour 90s pop playlist on Apple Music. Adding Informer right now.
Way too much of the playlist is dedicated to the "Euro dude 'rapping,' trying to sound tough and then a woman sings the chrous" 90s dance style...Snap, Real McCoy, Culture Beat, La Bouche, C+C were all secretly the same band, right?

After a revisit, it was apparent that Snow is in fact quite talented, and got a bad rap... but that In Living Color Jim Carrey parody is still hilarious.
Paraphrasing some comedian at the time, might have been Denis Leary or Colin Quinn: "Informer? More like in four months, pal, you'll be pumping gas in Fresno with Color Me Badd."

I just heard the phrase “Fujiwara Armbar” in the WWF 2K24 game. What a world in which we now live.
The reverse of this: real-life announcers calling an inverted atomic drop "Manhattan drop," which was never called that before Smackdown on PS1.
Speaking of video game move names, I remember playing Six Man Scramble with a friend and I somehow got move names mixed up or conflated, and Kensuke Sasaki's Strangle Hold Gamma somehow, in my head, became the "Dragon Latch Falcon Wing." Which, honestly, is up there with Eagle Fang Karate on the pantheon of truly badass names for things.

Hey EW featured Bullet Club Gold and Juice was wearing 80s reflective Gargoyles or Oakleys and a bandana, looking exactly like Macho Man. It was uncanny,

I really enjoyed this order of events:
- Mox starts cutting a post-match promo with a huge booger that has somehow made it to the outside of his nose, halfway up.
- Director frantically cuts to a longer shot.
- Promo continues.
- Director realizes the shot sucks, cuts back to closeup.
- Promo continues.
- "FUCK, it's still there!" Cuts back to long shot.
- Bryce runs down to ringside, desperately trying to get Mox's attention, jumping up and down pantomiming "wipe your nose!"
- He fails, but Claudio notices.
- Claudio wipes the booger off.
Speaking of bodily fluids, it's not a Jay White match unless we get a massive gob of congealed spit on his lips or in his beard. I'm convinced he can get dry mouth just walking 30 feet or so.
One other goofy thing on the show that happened right before coming out of a break: Buddy is beating up his opponent in the HoB corner. Fans are barking. Buddy tries to bark and it sounds weak as fuck. Brody then barks incredibly loud, and turns, walks halfway down the steps, looks at the fans, and hits the shrug emoji ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. VPN and Triller are so worth it.

The table-run dropkick might have been Rosa's best executed high spot ever.
I had to rewind that a few times because it was so well done. Between the foot placement to 1) not break the table and 2) not flip it, and then landing sitting after the dropkick instead of laying out so as not to hit her head on it on the way down, just really well-executed.

LOL @ MJF's sneaky lift soles on his boots -- black boots with 1.5 - 2" black soles. Come on man, you just re-signed, there's no need to impress the size queens up north.
