You can definitely see more definition around the bicep, delt, shoulder and trap area, as compared to the previous, similar photo! Way to go!

Does it have something to do with the fact that IF ROH comes back in 6 months, it has still been "dead" for a shorter time that IMPACT that has walked as a zombie/ in a vegetative state for several years now? Now, if ROH doesn't come back at all, then he's making no sense and is obviously talking out of his ass.

That would be like a reverse Von Wagner, who got god knows what from his mom's side! A few folks also wondered how come Rick Steiner's kid can end up being so handsome, when he debuted.

Maybe.

It's funny, because in the 80's and very early 90's, the "more money from merchandising" was one of the biggest reasons to join WWF! Of course, future stars probably won't come from other wrestling companies, so that wouldn't really apply anymore, anyway.

Yeah, that was due to still insisting on cutting his own hair despite smashing all the mirrors in his house, after seeing what Hybrid Wrestling had done to his ears and face, so you know, it still had something to do with it.

And what MLW's intro suggests today (or at least in 2019). Not quite the same thing, but the same phrase, nonetheless!

"Hybrid wrestling, eh? That sounds like a thing that might mess up your pretty face , ears and hair, but I'm sure you'll be fine. Let me know how that turns out for you in, I don't know, 20-ish years!"

Which would be a huge win for everyone involved, aside from the networks that end up airing WWE. Also, referring to Flip's "70% audience at 15% price", sometimes, although not very often, that one meme goes: - Mom, can we have WWE? - We have WWE at home. - The WWE at home: AEW

Well, yeah. I have evidence of that. Not enough to break any patterns, anyway.

What are the "evidence based treatments" that Waltman is talking about? Does that involve someone showing you the stupid shit you did while intoxicated and go "See, You did this! Are you happy now? This was all you!"? That sounds pretty effective.

This is also the PPV that was supposed to have Vader vs Rude for the International World title. I'm sad we never got to witness that! After this PPV, the magic of 1994 starts to slowly fade away.

So, a rest and recovery week, as I only got around to the gym on Thursday night. Trying to get the entire upperbody at least somewhat worked over, I did dips and reverse shrugs with 77 lbs 4 sets and 66 and 44 lbs one set both. Then chest flies, lat pull downs and push downs with resistance bands, some light curls and a set of shrugs with the two 70 lb kettlebells. Then abs and some foam rolling and stretching. Last two weeks have been freezing over here and that led me to feeling like not getting out of the door a single moment before I have to. So at least on one evening I did a bunch of stretching and massage on my neck, which was so stiff it was giving me a headache. Found the problem areas and made the pain subside. Work week was surprisingly good, with most of the problems being technical and not really physically demanding. The freezing weather meant that there was no snow storms so that helped the logistical issues at work. Last night, I discovered another great Syntwave band, called Midnight Danger and made sure to put a bunch of their stuff on my gym playlist. Listened through their latest release while biking home. I'm sure it went faster than my usual winter pace, especially with roads being in decent condition at the moment. My weight is around 180 lbs at the moment, which is ridiculously low for December. I planned being around 195 at this point. There's an actual chance that I won't Jericho myself this year, but after December 17, I won't be back to work until January 3, so there will be plenty of time to bloat.

And then he gets/has a wonderful crop of talented, charismatic big guys who can really go and proceeds to piss away each and every one of them, unless by some miracle they refuse to let it bother them for a decade, like Cena and Roman. And both of those were products of years of "push down the throat"-method, whether the fans wanted it, or not!

THAT takes talent! Yikes! Yeah, you never want to be thinking "I hope I'm not leaving a trail behind me!", either!

Yeah, this is SO next level! Also, I sometimes have a hard time deciding which of my favorite clothes I'd like to wear and this method would solve THAT problem, as well! Just superb!

There sure is a reason why I prefer to run on an empty stomach, you know! Hey, 7 lbs is 7lbs, you have to shed the water weight at some point, so way to go!

Well, I would not be surprised if that were the case with anyone at all, who's still on WWE's payroll! So, yeah, ok.

Damn! Hope things improve for you, soon enough. Hang in there, bro!

Bret Hart called WrestleMania X a fluke. Hindsight being 20/20, was it or wasn't it? How do you feel? For the record Owen did beat Bret again later on with a count out in a tournament, I believe!

That was a short squash match, but Powers looked like a literal million bucks, physically!

This is true, but as long as he keeps on winning, anyone who actually beats him, will be pretty well off!

Shit, I'm Finnish and even I'm well aware of Bob Dole! RIP, Sir!

Thank you! As an 80's child, I loved the Drago redemption story! It's good to know that despite all his faults, Ivan Drago was a decent father in the end!

Holy crap! Watching some '94 Superstars and Jim Powers only took a year off steroids, as he's back in a ridiculous shape and size in '94 as compared to his '93 shape. I knew he got huge by '95, but this was a surprise! Was it @twiztor who liked Jim Powers? He was looking fantastic here, but already wearing a singlet, just as he did in WCW!
