I was on vacation when I got the news of Bobby Eaton's passing and I was in such a state of shock I zoned out for most of the day. The Midnight Express was my all time favorite tag team growing up to the point where I made every single excuse as to why they lost the US titles to the Steiners (I was 6 lol) who were my 4th favorite tag team. When other kids were trying to be Macho Man with his elbow drop, I was jumping off my bunk bed trying to do Alabama Jams and knee drops like Bobby Eaton. I loved his singles run and was happy seeing him thrive post Midnights and even when he was phased down, I was always excited to see him on my tv screen. Thankfully I had the pleasure of meeting him and Stan a few years ago and he was extremely friendly and extremely humble. Rest in Peace, Beautiful Bobby.

I haven't watch a ton of old Ultraman, but Ultra Q has been tons of fun; plus I think giant Kaiju fights never get old. If you're enjoying Kamen Rider, Toei Tokusatsu's Youtube page has been uploading the first 2 eps of various shows. They just put V3 and Kuuga out this week, so it looks like they're gonna keep on doing it. There's a ton of full shows to watch there too and if you've got a VPN they've got all the old Sentai shows subbed as well. Hope that helps!
Thank you so much, I've been running through the original Kamen Rider and got 50 episodes in lol. I got two episodes into Ultraman and I might jump back after I finish Kamen Rider.

So I'm watching OG Kamen Rider on Tubi and I was thinking of jumping backwards to watch Ultraman and some of the OG super sentai series ( I started with Jetman and stopped at what we know as the aqua rangers). Is it worth checking out the older stuff or am I better off starting with certain series?

So what all weekly wrestling shows are y'all watching?
Pretty much Dynamite and Dark. Mondays is usually NJPW World night and my weekends vary between comps and gaming.

Couple of thoughts from my Marvel readings (Currently up to 1975 while re-reading some of the Masterworks)
- Re-reading the early Fantastic Four runs and it's weird seeing Thing try to make a play for Sue until Alicia was introduced.
- Adventure into Fear (Morbius) started off strong but really started running out of steam towards the end. I still have the final issue to read but I'm kind of checked out with this series.
- Red Sonja's origin was much darker than I thought it would be for a Marvel title. That being said, I can't wait to read her solo run.
- Just finished the Gwen Stacy/Jackal story in Amazing Spider-Man and I kinda wish Clone Gwen had stayed but I am all in on Peter and MJ starting something. Jackal should have probably stayed dead after this though.

Let us know if you want Batman and Spider-Man recommendations.
Appreciate it good sir. Batman took a temporary pause as I was able to find the Batman Family run of books so I'm reading those. I'm just now getting into the Jackal and Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man which holds up really well.

i am just starting a giant Spider-Man read. I started with Amazing Fantasy #15 and have read the first 10 or so issues of Amazing. I plan on reading everything (Amazing, Web of, Peter Parker, Spectacular, etc.) up until November of 1998 when it looks like the entire line went through a relaunch or something. Over 1000 books so it should take me a couple years, but i previously did the same with Batman and X-Men and really enjoyed the result.
Most looking forward to the Clone Saga (reputation aside....) and i plan to read the Superior storyline after i finish my plan as it is.
@The NaturalAnything i should keep an eye out for, or things to keep in mind?
I'm actually doing the same thing, but I think I have stuff up to 2019. I posted a long time ago that I was doing an entire run of Batman, but it's grown to a ton of other books that I'm reading in chronological order. I'm currently on 1975 with a bit of a backtrack for Magnus: Robot Fighter, but it's interesting to see Marvel down size from certain books and the general shift in story telling and art from the 60s to the 70s.

Dairanger was the gold standard for a long time but Shinkenger came along and defied expectations and then Toqger really took it to the next level!

I was waffling between Dairanger and Jetman as to which one would I rank number 1 and Dairanger slightly edges out Jetman for me. Tubi has shows up to 2000(maybe 2001) so I look forward to checking those out and hopefully they'll eventually add shows from post 2001.

Tubi TV having the 90s Super Sentai series has been a fun watch. So far I've watched Jetman, ZyuRanger (Mighty Morphin), DaiRanger and I'm starting up KakuRanger (Aqua Rangers). So far JetMan and DaiRanger have been the more enjoyable shows while ZyuRanger was a bit disappointing. I'm one episode in KakuRanger so I'll reserve judgement. I should check if Tubi has any of the Kamen Rider series.

Just discovered USWA episodes from 1990 on Amazon Prime. My next few nights are booked.
There's a weird episode where Kerry call Marc Lowrance "Bill" twice during the promo and is stammering. Same episode had John Tatum looking sauced trying to make out with one of his valets who was not down with it.

I haven't watched RAW since October but decided to check it out last night, a couple of thoughts:
- When did Buddy Murphy lose his first name?
- Drew McIntyre and MVP had a pretty good segment. I'm loving Drew being an ass kicker, while actually being personable and interacting with the crowd.
- Matt Hardy defending Edge was weird, but the Lita chant was even weirder given what happened.
- Shayna needed to bite Becky's nape in order to get her Titan ability in time for Mania.
- I love the Street Profits but it feels like their just doing nothing. I could be wrong though.
- Askua vs. Becky was a damn good match.

Since I'm more of a lurker and certainly don't dip into the sports threads much, I guess I'll be the dude to say something about him potentially being a rapist so none of y'all have to feel weird bringing it up.
Carry on.
I don't think there's any issue with mourning over someone who had an impact on a generation while acknowledging the bad. Right now, I think it's ok to just let people grieve and offer their condolences. This was a major kick in the gut made even worse that his daughter was also in that crash.

My girlfriend managed to find the entire James Bond novel collection and got it for me for Christmas. Almost done reading Casino Royale which has been a decent read. Debating if I'll read another Bond book or take a week to progress through my comic collection before reading the second Bond book.

Both cards are a little underwhelming. Best hope is that the second night is fleshed out more with angles from the first night (especially those needless first night eight man tags).
No Ospreay second night.
Given that's it's him vs. Hiromu on night 1, it would be a miracle if Ospreay would be able to give 100% on the second night. I expect a ton of insane bumps in that title match

For whatever it's worth, I recall Mauro pretty much tweeting that he was going through a bout of anxiety and depression maybe an hour after Takeover and hoping it'll hold off long enough for him to enjoy what a night Takeover was. Graves being an insufferable prick is nothing new, but sooner or later he's going to push the wrong one, and head issues be damned, I wouldn't be shocked if someone pushes back something fierce.

Rest in Peace to Matt Travis....25 is way too young and the fact that it was a hit and run makes it even tougher to grasp. I really hope they get the driver.

I was with him until he threw Jay Lethal under the bus and called himself 2Pac's successor.
Someone get Mark Henry on the phone.
Seriously, ACH should probably talk to Mark Henry or at the very least getting off of Twitter. Breaking out the Uncle Tom label on Jay Lethal was out of bounds and has nothing to do with what he's upset about unless he's about to insinuate other black folks under the NxT brand are selling out their peers.

I like how the statement starts off saying that he approved "this t-shirt for sale" as if to imply he saw the design and was ok with it which sounds like bullshit. This is one of those situations, where they would be best served by owning the fuck up.

Just when you thought wrestling couldn't get weirder, apparently Master P has bought House of Glory Wrestling.
I hope that they are still doing that awful CZW vs HOG inter promtional feud because I think all of us have waiting for that DJ Hyde & Master P confrontation
I'm wondering if that's part of why Red pretty much stopped associating with them.

When I first started doing my journey through Avengers, I went through the same situation. Somehow it exploded into me reading most of the Marvel books from the 50s and I'm currently trying to finish 1978 (did the same thing with DC but starting from the 40s). I loved how connected all the books were to one another from cameos to things from one book tying into another book.
