Mister TV

Just saw that the newest Crime in Sports podcast is about Jerry Lawler, can't wait to listen.

I was always baffled that Bigelow wasn’t brought in as a heel for a house show run with Hogan, similar to Kamala’s run with the Hulkster.

A Face in the Crowd is a movie everyone should see, it’s just as relevant today as it was in 1957.

This Rose Bowl really needs Keith Jackson announcing.

Pitt was playing with their third string QB! If Kenny Pickett was playing Pitt wins by 30 or more, if backup QB Patti doesn’t get hurt early in the game Pitt wins by 15 or more. Pitt’s D was on the field almost the entire game and was one bad pass by a third stringer from taking the game to OT.

The whole team got the booster shot last week and I don’t think any of them went home for Xmas.

That’s the power of Hulkamania brother! It was the same when Bruno and Pedro were champs, no need to load the undercard when you can draw a huge house with the main event. Most of the time those long JTTS matches were the first match on the card and/or the first match after intermission, gotta sell that beer, soda, popcorn and hot dogs.

If it was Baltimore instead of Washington and Pittsburgh instead of Philly they’d move the game.

22 Jump Street is a rare “sequel that’s better than the original” purely due to Jillian Bell.

What promotion is using the if Andre The Giant would have won at WM3 belt?

They settled this afternoon so no need to switch! https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2021/12/19/youtube-tv-disney-espn-abc/8963026002/

Even with the very generous spot by the Line Judge the Steelers get the win of the Tennessee Tuxedos!

As someone who might cave to Disney’s master plan and ditch YouTube TV for Hulu Live, how’s Hulu Live?

The sponsoring of bowls started in 1986 with the Sunkist Fiesta Bowl, more bowls followed suit in 1987. The first bowl with just the sponsor name was the John Hancock Bowl aka Sun Bowl in 1989. The Blockbuster Bowl started up in 1990, the same year we got the Poulan Weed Eater Independence Bowl.

They didn't throw anything those hillbillies can't deal with a shitty Pitt team shutting them down. Pitt Head Coach Dave Wannstedt was in the press box for that game due to knee surgery, thankfully he reverted to his Defensive Coordinator days and called the D plays, the Stache might not have been the best head coach but he was great Defensive Coordinator.

And Pitt beating WVU is the reason Rodriguez was available!!!!

That’s Rick McGraw not Terry Gibbs, it looks like the episode aired a few weeks after he died. That’s Cpl. Kirchner between Davey Boy & Hulk.

The Steelers are also popular in Mexico, I'm surprised they didn't make a claim for Ireland. Also, why wouldn't the Lions make a claim on Canada? Ford Field is about a mile from the border!

This is technically out since I saw it listed at the theatre I go to. Can we take bets on if it ends up on How Did This Get Made in a few years.

Could it be a "sensei" tournament? That way they could have a semi-finals with Daniel vs. Terry Silver & Johnny vs. Krease to end their feuds, then a Rocky III style ending when Daniel & Johnny start their championship bout. Season 5 is built around flashbacks of the Daniel-Johnny bout, LaRusso would need to take the loss so you could have a storyline with him having a hard time dealing with it, the win would go to Johnny's head so you could have him be a dick for most of the season, maybe that's the opening to bring back "Karate's Bad Boy" Matt Barnes.

They could send the Samantha off to college(spin off?) and have the show be Daniel trying to get Anthony into karate, basically George's idea for the pilot on Seinfeld but karate instead of gymnastics.

Remember cable as we know it really didn't roll out in big cities until 1983-1984ish and didn't hit peak viewership until the mid-90's when the Monday Night Wars started. Having the WWF on USA, regional sports networks like MSG, PRISM and NESN along with Super Stations like WTBS and WWOR, at first filled the gaps in markets(usually smaller ones) that Vince didn't have syndicated tv in yet, along with gaining a monopoly on pro wrestling on cable tv, since everyone with a brain knew at some point it was going to be a money maker.

Did he propose as someone else’s wedding? If so that’s more tacky than his suit.

Why did Hamilton take that rouge?

While cable tv was part of the WWF’s national expansion, syndicated tv was the main tool Vince used. Stations had been giving away tv time to wrestling promotions based on handshake deals, then you had Vince show up with a briefcase full of cash and a cut of house show money in that market, those station managers jumped at that deal. That syndication network enabled Vince to sell commercial time, sponsorships and so on.
