It's on the Network, Coliseum Video section (you remembered correctly), a 1995 HBK collection (I don't recall the name), it's the second match they show. It is just spectacular, especially for the time period.

Rethorical, I know, but Dustin in '92 had to be roughly an equal at the time, since Barry was a year or so past his sharpest peak, right?

You heard the young man, best of luck to you! Keep us posted!

Ok, got one workout in this week. Weather has turned roads into slushy hellscapes so the last couple of days have sucked. The workout was typical upper body demolition with extra 66lbs and after 3 sets, 55lbs, 35lbs and 22lbs one round of sets with each weight. This was followed by the usual resistance band stuff, a set of curls and shrugs with a pair of 33lb plates and some ab work. Hopefully next week will be better.

My friend's younger sister, for instance. Pretty common name over here. ...Wait, it could be a joke. In reference to getting henna-tattoos, you know?

So, Jeff Hardy debut was spoiled for me on the main thread by people discussing his theme song, but it was pretty obvious when I Matt was voted out. I thought they were just going to talk about pulling their investments out of some rogue nation, or something, not voting someone out. Wardlow giving MJF the opportunity to walk away and live is very big of him. Somehow, I don't see MJF not being a (limp)dick about it, but hey, that's just me! FTR firing Tully? Does this mean they are leaving The Pinnacle as well? Wow, that leaves MJF all by himself... ... ... What? Oh, yeah! Spears. Ok, so that leaves MJF in a shittier position than being all by himself, then! Better? Haven't seen the main event yet, but I suspect that Scorpio Sky may end up playing the part of Raven to Wardlow's Goldberg, if the title should change hands there. JB & Luchasaurus beating The Pinnacle without Donkey Club getting involved, despite being in the audience was surprising. Called Cole picking ReDRagon over Young Bucks, but that was obvious, unless he just changed his mind just because Bucks proactively declined?

I only watched until before PAC vs Yuta (how amazing was that they booked a standby match, since the opener didn't go to full 60?!? Fucking aces!) but firstly, Dammit Jericho! So this time you're smart enough to name your group in a way that there can be NO ambiguity? Smart, I must admit. Title match was also really good but you knew it would lead to something else. But more Cole? I don't know about that! He'll team with ReDragon next week, just watch. And Young Bucks totally think it was going to be them. There is something going on between Hangman and Dark Order! Man, this may not be pretty. That Regal interview tho!!! So far, very good times! Too bad that last minute work schedule changes leave me not seeing the rest until Friday evening. Trying not to spoil anything for myself. So a lot of this stuff may have been already pointed out a million times by others.

Sweet! Very cool!

That's a premium hoodie right there! Belated best wishes, man! Sorry, I've been a bit preoccupied, but it seems that things went well! That's awesome!

Won all 3 of them?!? Holy shit! So that's like his speciality, then! Like Dusty winning those Stampedes in the lateish 80's!

He should have just kept This Fire Burns as his theme forever. That is on the Say It To My Face and Christian's many themes and Omega's Battle Cry pantheon of wrestling themes that are better than most songs that are made for general musical purposes.

When exactly was the Dynamite Diamond? I've seen MJF walking around with the ring for a quite a while now, but whenever that happened I must not have been paying attention to the show threads.

Damn, due to the sheer volume and quality of FITE.tv's AEW episodes I have fallen behind on the WWF Superstars (as well as NXT UK). Superstars episodes seem to reach the build up of Wrestlemania XI. We're talking debuts of Mantaur, Kama the Supreme Fighting Machine and Aldo Montoya here! Well, and Hakushi, too. This was considered among worst times of WWF television. It's going to be a treat to see how much more logical and fresh it seems compared to the shows we are (force)fed these days. That is, when I get around to do it.

I don't know about others, but I was in a bomb shelter. Well, no, except that there actually is one at work, right near where we change clothes. I had a week of due to long shifts and a couple of days on a trip to another city. Over the weekend we saw my sister my nephew and my younger brother and helped my dad and my brother's mom to move some of their stuff to their new home. There was a bunch of walking through the city and the moving involved some carrying, but nothing like an actual workout. I did do a few pump sets of curls and presses with my sister's 22 lb kettlebell, but that was the extent of it. This week, I've been busy with AEW and trying to avoid people since there has been a whole bunch of COVID at work so I haven't gone back to the gym yet this week, either. I did hear that the pair of attachable chains that we ordered for the trapbar and other lifts had just arrived today, so there's that to look forward to, once I get back.

Yeah, I had heard that Punk used to have Miseria Cantare (sp?) as his theme in early ROH, so I'm not going to troll and say Punk came out to some 30 Seconds To Mars -ripoff, but I do own the CD with that song on it by AFI. I also have the good one, from 2006, the one with three words typed together. Ok, that was trolling, but I do still own those CD's.

TBH, I was a tad disappointed that they didn't have the studs on them, but that didn't last for too long, though.

I watched Buy In and the hype show yesterday. I finally get PAC vs Buddy in segments of that 6 man, which was awesome as a whole. This is a pretty back and forth feud here! Statlander vs Hirsch was also good. Leyla proved she is the #1 contender, although that won't be for long. The PPV itself was insane, although maybe not quite what Full Gear was. Still, one of the best overall PPV's I've seen in ages. Obviously Punk vs MJF was the thing, but the opener was aces, I loved the 3 way tag title match as well as the Tornado trios match. Both women's matches delivered and Rosa will have her day on St. Patrick's. Mox and Danielson was what they promised and Regal added a whole new aspect to it. The ladder match was definitely good enough and I think the guy they want as the face of the revolution went over. The main event was not the best match on the card but holy shit was it still a great damn match! I was definitely worried that Cole would steal it as no other titles changed hands prior to it, but Hangman fortunately prevailed. Awesome stuff! And yeah Punk vs MJF was cathartic af and it is so GOOD to see someone who's been pulling this bullshit for a few years now, finally get punched in the face with his own damn ring! If only in real life...

I knew MJF, that walking discarded suppository, was going to do something like this! It took awhile for Punk to finally drop his guard, but he finally fell for it and paid dearly! Damn that POS to the depths of hell that Punk will unleash on his ass! ...also, after hearing MJF threaten the financial future of Wardlow's family, shouldn't Tony offer Wardlow an AEW contract ASAP to counteract such injustice? As an economic sanction, as it were?

What kind of news is it? You know I hate bad news! Maybe if you told the bad news in a good way? Let's see... it's great news sir, we no longer have to see current RAW episodes! Ever!

This combined with living next to the country with apparently bat-shit dictator and waiting if he is feeling froggy towards my homeland is not exactly good times over here, either!

This needs to be "The big one" that Eddie finally wins, right? Going back to Matthews for a second, I heard it said that he was extra juiced to the gills these days and you sure weren't kidding! Where do you get off making F'n PAC look like he's only moderately into that sort of thing?!? Statuesque isn't even the Goddamned word for it! To me, AEW is complete now. Bring on anyone else and it's just a nice bonus, but you have PAC, Buddy and Tony Nese (What? Well, fuck you, then!) under the same banner and you've made a fan until WW3 wipes us all out (which hopefully isn't before Revolution PPV can happen)!

Dynamite was excellent. But let me just say that seriously, fuck current Geo-Political bullshit and the responsible party all the way to hell, for ruining my enjoyment of first ever physical contact between Pac and Buddy Matthews! I needed this to take my mind off things and even this didn't work. It had so many great things. Also, guys, you DO realize that MJF is going to use this against Punk SO much, right? Tugging on heartstrings of the audience like that and getting Punk to question himself a little bit and them BOOM! Do NOT trust that walking reason why millennials don't want children for a second!

I think I have heard this before. But he is very swelte and slim kind of muscular. Wrangy, is that a word? And wearing a whatever size shirt isn't the issue. Getting out of the shirt without tearing it or your shoulder is what counts! You do remember that he used to tear away those nice suits of his. And had plenty of shoulder issues. Sensing a pattern here. Maybe he just owns a ton of T-shirts and whatever happens once it's time to disrobe, happens?

Rough week. Weather turned sucky yesterday, so that was like an extra leg day. I took the Monday off due to some much needed heavy drinking on Saturday. Tuesday was intense upperbody pump but nothing actually heavy. Plenty of drop sets with resistance bands for both chest flies and lat pull-downs. Lot of smaller, lighter stuff. Wednesday was trapbar or bust. Last Friday, while I was on my beast mode, I watched the other guy doing trapbar and getting 5 sets of 2x493 and I was thinking "Holy shit, I may not be able to answer that!" But I wasn't going down without a fight. So, my workout was as follows: 5x262, 5x306, 5x372, 5×416, 4x471, 4x493, 3x504, 2x504, 2x504, 3x493, 3x471, 3x449. And the usual shrugs afterwards. So, hell yeah I answered that! Thursday's bench suffered from the drain of the trapbar, but after warm-up, I did 3 clean singles with 280, took it down to 275 did two, 3 with 264 and then a bunch of inconsequential sets with lighter and lighter weights and then pump with 132 at the end. Today it was another, but less intense upperbody pump. The only thing that was at least moderately heavy was two sets (of 12 and 10) of EZ bar curls with 87 lbs. I'm not risking anything, so I won't go heavier than that. Decent pump, anyway, both arms at 16,5 (if that is same as 42cm) inches, but that's still less than they have been, but not that much. Ok, I kinda made this week count. Next week, there will in all likelyhood be 0 workouts, but 3 12-hour shifts plus the biking will make sure I'll be pretty beat by the end of it.

Yesterday, after a hard day of working as well as working out afterwards, I biked home through this slushy ice and slightly melted snow. Only to find that the bike shed's door had been blocked by melted and re-frosen ice between the time I opened it in the morning and coming back home. All the tools to remove the said ice were inside the shed. Was able to get a steel rod from elsewhere so I could bash enough ice to get in and get the usual tools. Also scooped a few buckets of ice water away from the yard so this wouldn't happen again today. During this, I was thinking to myself "C'mon! A prelude to World War 3 OR this bullshit weather, pick one freely, but not fucking both on the same day!"
