  1. WCW should have won and we should be getting hyped for Spring Stampede 2021 now.
  2. In between the Philly indie scene being exposed for pest after pest after pest, the realization that AEW just isn't for me no matter how hard I try to get into it, and the fact that the wrong company died in 2001, I'm having a hard time hashing out whether or not wrestling is a past tense for me. I used to worry about how I'd tell my daughter I don't feel safe taking her to shows anymore, but I'm pretty sure there ain't gonna be many shows around here to even go to after the pandemic ends anyway.
  3. On this day, 20 years ago, the wrong company died.
  4. Vaccine dates went off without a hitch! My wife is a bit under the weather after her second shot (Moderna), and my own side effects from my first (Pfizer) are minimal. I go back on Easter for the second shot. Here’s hoping I have a better time afterward than she did.
  5. Thom Latimer, of course, being the man who admitted to beating a woman up to police, and whom British promoters had to sneak onto shows as a surprise because they knew people wouldn’t come if they knew he was there. And of course he’s pals with Aldis, watch him win it.
  6. COVID vaccine appointment is scheduled for this Sunday. It’ll be my first, then on Tuesday my wife gets her second shot.
  7. LMFAO. THIS will get people to drop $5 a week on a 2014 TNA midcard all-star show.
  8. Surely this has to mean the days of NXT, in its current form at least, are numbered, right? Surely Johnny Ace isn’t going to stick to the model of signing smaller indie darlings.
  9. If you think WWE will stick to the plan of adding old stuff to the archives when they’ve gone back on that many times, I got this big fuckin’ bridge in Brooklyn I just gotta show you.
  10. I coulda swore she was dating Marty. And also, I know Marty’s friends with Aldis, and if he stuck up for Latimer I expect the same for Marty.
  11. Wait til you found out who the current women’s champion is dating.
  12. Another day, another figure in indie wrestling outed as scum. This time, it’s Colin West, promoter of Synergy Wrestling in New Jersey. It was revealed that he is a registered sex offender under his real name, Patrick Shea, and had been using Colin West as an alias. Nobody in the business seemed to know, as talent left and right announced they were cutting ties with him and his company, and he has seemingly closed up shop. I’m getting tired of this shit, man...
  13. Wrestling will never get better. I wish I never took my kid to those Chikara shows.
  14. Shaq’s getting chokeslammed tonight.
  15. Ninja Gaiden trilogy re-release? A bunch of people who didn't have an Xbox are gonna be mad as shit online. Like me.
  16. Where'd you find this at? I need to know for sure so I can add Dickinson to the list of wrestlers I won't support for working with a convicted pedophile.
  17. My favorite trope that sadly you never see anymore; the tag team format/style of wrestling being such an indecipherable monolith to singles wrestlers that you could put Ric Flair and another Horseman up against the world tag team champions, and you would have the Midnight Express outclassing Flair in every respect. Flair may be the world champion, the dirtiest player in the game, but you’re in the Midnight Express’ house now, and they’re forcing you to play by THEIR rules and kicking your ass all the while until Flair pulls some trickery out his ass to steal a win.
  18. I could see Hulk using the bear hug or the full nelson then. Anybody remember WCW vs. the World on PlayStation way back when? I think his super grapple was the one-shoulder backbreaker, maybe use that.
  19. It really says something that Jeff now basically does shoot Swantons landing with his whole back because it’s so fucked he can’t really roll like he used to. Because THAT’S much better for your spine. Imagine how much less damage Hogan would have done to himself if he just used the clothesline finish from Japan. Or the sleeper like he wanted. Was a submission a credible finish for an 80s babyface though?
  20. One of the funniest women to ever live. Her time up front at the Bob Saget roast is a master class of zingers. ”For the love of God, will someone please punch me in the face so I can see some stars?!”
  21. Meanwhile, I’m already looking into switching to FiOS.
  22. The article says this only affects the US streaming; everything else is untouched.
