DDP is definitely in Nitro. Do you mean WCW vs. the World? He's not in that.
You are exactly right! Old man brain strikes again.

Every time I see Jericho's weave/plugs/otherwise fake hair get all sweaty and sticking out in all directions, I can't help but think of Bill Murray in Kingpin.

Oh man I remember being psyched to buy WCW Nitro for the PS1 back in the day. It was so long ago I think I bought it at KB Toys. What an absolute pile of shit. We were so convinced that DDP was a hidden character that we put the CD in a computer and tried to dig around; there was no way WCW's hottest new star wasn't in the game, right? What an absolute disappointment that game was.

Rabid Star Wars fans & MAGA dirtbags is a wild Venn Diagram I hadn't planned on thinking about today.
It's also really something to see MAGA people and anti-rape people (w/r/t the Weinstein connection) on the same side.

I'm just happy to see what I hope to be a tighter, smaller, more fun story after whatever the fuck Prometheus and Covenant were supposed to be. Fewer overreaching pompous ruminations over the origins of life, what it means to be alive, etc. and more frank discussions of the bonus situation, god dammit.

People marking out about belts and I'm over here just happy that Eddie Kingston is having a 3 year run where he has, like, every concievable Kingston dream match one after another. What a fucking ride, man.
I was just thinking about that this morning! Dude went from working possibly his last show, during Covid in some backyard and selling his boots, to wrestling Japan's top guy of the last decade on national TV. Good for him.

Oh sweet Christ I hope not.

It does! It’s apparently an “interquel,” taking place between Alien and Aliens.

No. Best Friends don’t do much for me. I’m not a fan of all the “winning through the power of friendship.” They should’ve lost the first Parking Lot Fight, Arcade Anarchy, and at All In 2023, but hugs & minivans, right?
You know, there’s a whole ‘nother wrestling promotion built around god fearing all-American themes of rugged individualism, bootstraps, and friends just being people waiting to stab you in the back. Vince is gone but his recurring themes are still around.

But as always to paraphrase the Deadlock boys in their incredible Slammys episode, which I always think of when I see Rude, "Rick Rude was the most attractive person in existence at that time. If your wife went to a show and Rick Rude was on it, Rick Rude was fucking your wife."

Oh my god early 90s WCW undercard was a desolate wasteland of crap. Everything outside the main event scene of Sting and pals vs Dangerous Alliance was just trash. I feel like it got bad around Bash 91 and I need to read through all the cards from that show on to figure out when they pulled out of this death spiral because god damn is that list of undercard talent BLEAK.
I watched the main event of Clash 26(?) last night, Rude & Vader vs Sting & Flair, elimination match. Better on paper than in execution. Absolute bullshit double elimination as Vader murders Flair's back in the ring and then Flair is carted off by medical staff, I guess, as Vader freaks out at ringside. For the crime of holding a chair he is, I suppose, DQ'd by Commissionner Nick Bockwinkel. So in a match designed to build a Flair/Vader PPV, both guys look like shit. Nice job, fellas. Sting and Rude have a passable few minutes and then Sting pins him with a flying splash. So disappointing.

Damn! I feel super dumb for not even noticing (I've missed I think a single Rampage since they were reintroduced, too, it's not like I haven't been watching). Guess they couldn't have been that important, then..
Don't feel bad. I only know because Alvarez mentioned on a few pods that they seem to have gone away. But yeah, IIRC, they announced rankings in early February with the idea that they'd update once per month. With March 2/3 over and no rankings, it's maybe safe to say they've done away with them.

Agreed huge - I almost didn't want to address it because I feel like folks are probably getting tired of me complaining about it, but yeah, this needs to be dealt with swiftly. Rankings returning were a good step, but it's still too damn muddy.
Rankings seem to be gone again already. Which is fine, because they just make a bad situation worse. Multiple singles titles have no kayfabe reason to exist, and then you have the ratings on top of it? Like is there a top 5 for each of the four belts? Then you'd need to rank those belts in order of importance, which they're not doing. And if not, then is, say, the Continental title automatically the #3 contender to the world belt? It's just a fucking mess.

Alright then. I expected something stranger.
I believe in Crystal Light 'cause I believe in meeeeeeeeeeee
Jesus Christ, I thought that Pebbles song in the AEW thread made me feel old but now I've got the Crystal Light jingle from 1984 in my head.

This. Draw of the AEW Continental Championship was having that, the ROH World Championship and NJPW Strong Championship as one alongside the visuals like the AJPW Triple Crown Championship/J-Crown.
Right! Killing it off three months after it was unified is ridiculous. Maybe every year, the three champions will put their belts in the pile for the Continental Classic.
So AEW has the four men's singles belts on their TV, not counting the ROH belts.
- World
- TNT
- International
- Continental
Worse, it's not like any of them are "gimmick" belts like Pure, Hardcore, UWFI Rules, whatever. What is the point of the Continental title as opposed to the International title? I love AEW but this is a shitshow.
EDIT: @Casey thanks for the clarification. While the Eddie thing made for a great storyline for the tournament, it really muddied everything regarding what the tournament was actually for. And I completely agree that it didn't need to be for an actual new championship.

Eddie will still have the ROH title to defend against Mark, the NJPW Strong title too. Okada is only challenging for the Continental Championship not the full “Triple Crown”
Uggggh. So we're going backwards with regard to having too many titles.

When I was a real little kid, my parents had a little tent they let me sleep in once (I don't remember doing this more than once or twice) and I had gotten one of those radios that was a plastic Chuck E. Cheese-looking (or maybe was) mouse sitting on top of a triangle of cheese, and while I was in the tent that night playing with it, it picked up a Spanish-language radio station. I was entranced. It was so cool and foreign, I stayed up for what felt like hours listening.
I'M ON A MEXICAN RADIOOOOOOOO

God dammit thanks for putting that song in my head.

My question of WHY still stands. Were they on a TV show or something? Did Tay-Tay pimp them in an interview? Favorite cup of a Marvel character (Natural would have mentioned something about that, I think)?
I've used some form of a Stanley (dunno the brand name) for years myself. I got a big black monstrosity that will keep ice rattling in a 90 degree car for at least a couple hours.
Re: Shogun, they are apparently gonna axe the show at the one season, regardless of its success, or maybe because of that since they feel they said all they have or they should with the story. That's... a first, sounds like.
You can seriously Google it. Not being a dick or anything. I saw a story a little while ago about why this trend happened. It comes down to: Stanley had stopped making them and then a popular blog stated they were the best thermos type things. Demand went up, they started producing them again, more blogger/insta/influencer types jumped on the train when the company leaned into social media advertising, and there you go.

Phil on podcasts lines up pretty well with Phil’s writing style.
the whole sidebar about far away radio stations (when talking about Bruno on KDKA) reminds me that my unofficial distance records for AM radio are Toronto (Zoomer Radio and the French station), Philadelphia (KYW), Atlanta (WSB) and also one of the Mexico ones in the background. Here in the Midwest, we seemingly get more of the eastern time zone stations because the pacific stations don’t boom over the mountains
It is possible I cheated a little when I was packed near a cell tower and coincidentally some radio stations were coming in better there

AM goes further at night due to something with the ionosphere (that and the loss of my accent is the extent of the good my MCOM degree did me). I remember driving in western Maryland at night listening to a Red Wings game out of Detroit.

I have zero knowledge of Pat McAfee except I see his show on the TVs at the gym sometimes. There's no sound but, hosting the show in a fucking tank top, he seems like a massive douchebag.

Every time I start to feel bad about my hair thinning and getting patchy in front a few years back, leading me to just shave it weekly with a 1 guard, I'll revisit this thread. Thanks, dudes!
