Mister TV

Spend the extra few bucks and buy pizza from a small business, what Pizza Hut, Little Caesars, Papa Shaq's, and so on make isn't pizza, it's glorified heated Lunchables. Or invest in a pizza stone and make it yourself.

They ran Hogan & Piper vs. Orndorff & Orton at Maple Leaf Gardens only 9 days after The Big Event and drew 13,000, that's how hot the WWF was in Toronto. They most likely did the screwy finish at The Big Event for the VHS release, by the time the tape was in video stores Hogan & Orndorff were doing their blowoff match in a lot of cities.

Blassie was in Chicago with Volkoff, The Hollywood Fashion Plate’s bad throw cost poor Nikolai the winners share of the purse. The Big Event was a ticketed show, you had to buy ticket to get into the stadium, but you did get access to the Canadian National Exhibition. It was the opposite of what the WWF did at the Michigan and Ohio State Fair’s the year before. Here’s a little backstory on the show, also the CNE is one of those quirky Canadian things I’ve always wanted to go to. https://mapleleafwrestling.blogspot.com/2019/04/the-big-event-1986.html

Or Jersey Boys or Tommy.

I haven't seen Cockfighter in years but all I can vaguely remember is a young Ed Begley Jr. playing some sort of rich kid Cockfighter.

Isn't the story with the Piper-T match is that neither really physically trained for it, boxing shape is way different from pro wrestling shape(Piper) or body building shape(T). Did they do 2 or 3 minute rounds? You'd think someone would audible and have them go to the finish in the 3rd round, or maybe it was supposed to go longer! I'm assuming the weird ring and weird refs were due to the Illinois State Athletic Commission, one of those you have to use a certain ring from a certain guy and have to use local refs. I believe late 80's Bears Fullback Brad Munster was Meltzer's friend. Fralic used the threat of becoming a pro wrestler to get a Bobby Bonilla style contract from the Falcons, he would have been a huge star if he became a pro wrestler.

The Savage-Steele feud was endless, the "blowoff match" on SNME was in May 1987 and it wasn't even a clean finish! Danny Davis hit George with the ring bell, that set-up their main event feud on C level house shows. The Savage-Sammartino matches were mostly Bruno kicking the shit out of Macho Man, Sammartino had big time "pissed off dad" energy in those matches.

Prime has all the Bond flicks streaming in UHD again, No Time to Die will be up on the 10th. The quality is amazing, you can see the glue line from Connery's toupee!

Never seen With Honors but when I worked at Blockbuster the preview was on the monitor tape for it seems like six months straight. Alek Keshishian directed it, he also directed Madonna's Truth or Dare, dude seems like the most pretentious human walking the earth. I think this flick is battling Gone Fishin' and Jimmy Hollywood for Pesci's worst.

Look at the goalies they played against the first two rounds, plus the NHL allows them to take out opposing players with no repercussions.

Nicholas Pileggi’s book that is the basis for Casino is great.

Watched the first two episodes.

That Liotta wasn't even nominated for Goodfellas is criminal.

Currently in Ireland and was in the UK last week, both of these commercials gave me holy shit reactions. Why Dame Judi Dench why? Never a huge Oasis fan(more of a Blur guy) but ouch, did the brothers really need the money?

The game is in Pittsburgh, all of the Steelers games are in the Eastern Time Zone.

With "Young Rock" everyone needs to repeat to themselves "it's just a show, I should really just relax" when it comes to timeline, who was where, his grandmothers trial, and so on. There's points where the show is so bad it's good, like the actor playing Pat Patterson using 5 different accents each episode, but all the Randall Park stuff is cringe worthy.

The Chili Goal!

That would have been way better than the actual season 2.

The Mini Vikes & Iggles will kickoff at 8:30PM on ABC, hopefully they make whoever is announcing wear the old school yellow ABC blazer.

Watched the first two episodes of The Pentaverate and it’s hysterical! I also love the idea that Mike Meyers walked into Netflix showed them a scene from So I Married an Axe Murderer and got a bunch of money to make this show.

And starting Pens goalie Tristan Jarry is still day to day. While I wasn't expecting the Penguins to win the Cup this season, I really wanted them to eliminate the Rangers.

This was the first show I attended, Blackjack Mulligan went medieval for the Bunkhouse Match by bringing a Mace to the ring and after the match a fan attacked Mulligan! Which lead to the fan getting his ass kicked by Blackjack and Special Guest Ref Gorilla Monsoon, I clearly remember the huge smile Monsoon had as he pummeled the fan.
