  1. I was thinking an Elon Musk-esque character, but a super terrible neck tat would be icing on that shit sundae!
  2. Speaking of African Dream, has there ever been an African Nightmare? If not, wouldn't it be like a high time for one?
  3. @Sparkleface recently wanted to know if Jessica Love of Fight Club Finland-fame was doing OK. Apparently, she just recently returned to action in FCF, so now I can let you know that she seems to be doing fine!
  4. Decided to get more out of Honor Club and randomly chose Best in the World 2018 and started watching. Let's see where this goes? Getting Hangman vs Damien Priest and Bucks vs Briscoes is enough to get my attention! So far both of those matches definitely delivered and Austin Aries vs Kenny King as well as Jay Lethal vs Kushida were very entertaining too! Matt Jackson kicked out of Jay Driller on a steel chair... c'mon! But Super Red Neck Boogie was enough to put him down.
  5. They force you to do the stupid dance. The stupid dance gets very over. They job you out for doing the stupid dance! I like it! Which company was I watching, again?
  6. Someone already suggested those two being the only draw in the tournament, because that would rob them even of the "at least one of us won something" moment. But I was under the impression that this wasn't the company whose only agenda is "taking smiles off peoples' faces", so maybe that won't happen? I say Mark wins and Lethal understands that he has become totally dependent on the interference of Jarrett & Co. He then has to do some serious soul searching and decides to become even closer friends with Jarrett, Dutt, Satham and Karen so they will continue interfering on his behalf even more.
  7. @Gordi the former AEW fan I certainly remember Inside Pulse! It was one of the many wonderful sites that destroyed my academic career, since I spent all the time reading them, instead of really studying (until I absolutely had to). So, given how things worked out, Inside Pulse and 411, Scoops, MiCasa and WrestlingClassics very much affected the person I ended up becoming outside of wrestling fandom. While there was a short while where it felt like it was a bad thing, those sites indirectly made me choose a different path that has so far worked out surprisingly well. So thank you very much! And yeah, Hyatte was something else! Good times! 25 years, where the F did you go?
  8. Yeah, I wouldn't mind owning some IP that someone would be willing to pay a few million bucks for. Ideally, they would come to me and say "Look, we'd really like to own this IP so we are willing to make you rich if you just sign it over and walk away forever." WITHOUT any nasty litigation preceeding it. And I'd be like "Where do I sign? Hell, I have this other piece of IP I'm not really using for anything lying around, you can have that one for free!"
  9. But if Abadon were to team up with someone, it would probably be someone hailing from the Cemetaries, right?
  10. Yeah, you can only make them calm down with a paper bag. "Seems like you're getting worked up, there! Here, breathe into this! That's it, it's nothing worth getting choked up for. Keep breathing."
  11. For some reason Rampage still hasn't shown up on DAZN, but at least Collision has. This was one hell of an episode! Every one of the tournament matches delivered big time. Eddie is still in this. Once again, I figured a draw could be possible between Danielson and King. Brody looked super strong in defeat, even though the second knee barely touched him. The third one was a total death move and he still kicked out at 3,5 as noted by the commentary. Bounty Hunter made another great showing against OC and was very over with this crowd. The opening promo with OC going "Yeah, I don't know what this is?" was absolutely fantastic! The street fight was excellent! Abadon and Thunder Rosa also finding common (burial)ground. Rosa to challenge Julia after Abadon, probably. Good thing she happened to do commentary on this night. FTR promo with HOB wasn't great but I am definitely looking forward to the match. Wheeler vs Matthews! Bring it! Brian Cage with a quick win, maybe we get Cage vs Lee before we FINALLY get around to Swerve vs Lee, because that was who Lee was talking about all this time and for a good reason. The Assclaimed is back for revenge on whomever the Devil ends up being, but are still nice enough to give Top Flight Action their shot! Yes, this was awesome. I just wanted to watch Rampage first, but whatever
  12. Which one failed? Was Bob Holly put into that abomination as a punishment?
  13. Ok, now I finished the whole thing! Wow, the Briscoe Tribute Fight was good, but they really tured it up once the Honor was out the window, then it became insane! They had me there, when FTR was trapped and Briscoe in a choke. The correct ending with Mark getting the pin. I guess it was a big deal for Bryan to get to do this for Mark. Finally a big win for him again! Eddie vs Anthony was intense, and a good showing by Anthony. Strong win for Eddie, but he sure needed than one as a confidence builder. The main event was awesome. It slowed down for a bit there in the middle but towards the end it got heated af. The kick out at 1 is usually a last burst of defiant energy and I had a bad feeling about Billie's chances after that. She hung on for a while after that and got some good shots in, but in the end Athena was too much for her at this stage. At least she seemingly won over Athena's respect in the end. Ok, now Taya and Nyla are the next obvious challengers for Athena, so maybe she will mellow out a bit due to the wonderful influence of Billie and Lexi? Yeah, this show rocked all kinds of I don't even know what!?
  14. Got the 4 (and a half) big move circuit done today, as planned. Set up Trapbar off the blocks, regular bench, the squat machine and slightly less inclined Seal Row. For the warm up I did 5x249 on the Trapbar, 10x132 with a slowed down motion with a stop at the bottom touching chest, 5x154 with stop at the bottom at each rep on the squat machine and 10x154 on Seal Row. After this it was circuit time. I will list each move on its own, with reps and weights. But the idea was to move from one spot to the next after each set the same way I did with the warm-up. Trapbar: 5x359, 5x453,5, 5x548,5, 3x614,5, 3, 4 and 4x643, 3x548,5, then shrugs with 453,5, 359 and 249. Bench: 10x220, 8x264, 3x6x275, 8x264, 15x220 20x132 Squat Machine 6x264, 3x6x330, 5x330 (partials), 7x264, 6x154 Seal Row: 220, 264, 270, 270, 270, 220, 154. It's pointless to try and tell reps with these. With 220, maybe 5 good ones and rest are partials until I can hardly lift it off the padding. With 264 and 270, the first or second rep of each set may be decent and then it goes to shit quite fast. I try to do at least 5 partials each time, though. 154 was something like 20 reps. Did some side delt work and extra shrugs while unloading the weights, depending on the size of the plates. Then some foam rolling and hanging upside down. I should go to sauna before bed and as I said, I have a sport massage session booked early in the day. Weight went back down to 201 by the morning, so I evacuated 6lbs of fluid during my two visits to the toilet. Damn.
  15. Oh, ok then. I wouldn't know about the difference between EZ bar and barbell for upright rows. I have used a large kettlebell or two smaller kettlebells/ dumbells for that. And yeah, apparently I was thinking about the motion of the wrist the wrong way. I'll be damned, grabbing a straight barbell DOES give you more supination at the bottom, it's just that you can't turn the wrists more towards yourself at the top. Which is neither here nor there since I also misunderstood the move being discussed in the first place.
  16. Short walk and a short resistance band workout yesterday and another short resistance band workout this morning. I hope to get that real workout in tomorrow. I booked a sports massage for Tuesday. Today, I had a pizza for lunch and made a small (3 lb) holiday ham and some potatoes and sweet potato in the oven and had a bunch of that for dinner. As a result, I now weigh in at 207 lbs. Damn!
  17. I try not to read any comments about Final Battle, as I only got until the end of Lee vs Shane Taylor (did watch the entire Zero Hour as well). Outrunners tried their best and even tried to play Freebirds for the Von Erichs, but it wasn't too great. Ross' timing seemed off, despite him looking in fantastic shape. Marshall with his more conservative move set looked better in ring-wise. Still, nice to see Von Erichs in a bigger stage. Taya Valkyrie looked amazing as usual. Her wrestling was ok. Jack Cartwheel lived up to his name and then some! Awesome showing, although Bounty Hunter prevailed. Garcia vs Blake Christian was a great surprise andca really exciting match. Blake does not look like he could be as exciting inside the ring as he is. He surprises me every time out there! Holy shit was Vikingo vs Taurus every bit as awesome as I wanted it to be. Some spots took too long but both men gave it their all! Six man tag title match was good and got better by the end. Bad Dude Tito looked a lot like Adam Bomb/Wrath, and fuck you, I mean that as a compliment! Nicholls could have taken young boys' spot and we could have had new champions, but the kid got splattered after a good showing. Nyla vs Vertvixen was a match. Nyla could even have ended the match earlier and chose not to. Ok, then. Survival of the fittest was crazy by the end. I was shocked Dalton was eliminated so early, but my other pick prevailed. The match was way better than I expected. The I quit match had many cool surprises and told a good story with a couple big bumps. I figured they would take this opportunity to pull off a good match, but this was better than I thought it would be. ...forgot that I also saw the Pure title match. Wheeler being a total shit and Lawlor was on the ropes during the pinfall! Kicks to the nads for everyone after the match. Hook needs to end this guy! Lee vs Taylor was intense and had a few huge moves maybe not a decade in a making match, but definitely worth seeing. That's it so far, but for the price of monthly subscription, this was awesome so far. In fact, Vikingo vs Taurus was worth that price on its own.
  18. Yeah, I was going to say it's good to know @StretchMediatedHypertrophy is going to have good times planned! But, as usual, I do no comedy.
  19. Jerry Lawler had it just a few years ago, but it seems like that wasn't as serious as it could have been. It was just mentioned once and I heard nothing about it afterwards. Also, not anyone in the business but my grandmother's older sister had it and I heard it was terrible. When people first described what happened to Brock, I was like "that sounds exactly like what she had back then!"
  20. That should be a match right there! 3 very different styles but still based on high flying in one way or another!
  21. Did Bayley ever have a chance to face Ember Moon/Athena? If she did, any and all tips could come in handy for Starkz come tomorrow!
  22. Couldn't tell you the date, but the episode is 017. Hope that helps somewhat.
  23. Holy shit! Will Athena be even cleared to go after that one? Although, she has worn protective gear on her face before. Was that an accident or just an angle?
