Mister TV

The fear was more about Andre's back than him dropping dead.

Besides the SNME Battle Royal and WM3, Andre was inactive from September 1986 to Survivor Series 1987. Once they announced the match Andre was going to be in it unless he stopped breathing so the Orndorff thing is most likely bs. While most don't believe the 93, 173 the 78,000 number that Meltzer gives is way off, the Silverdome had 80,069 seats for football and a ballpark of 7,500 on the floor.

Yes! Mainly because Fox News has been purposely pronouncing Kamala like that of the pro wrestler. It’s racist and disrespectful which isn’t shocking coming from Fox News, but over the next few months there’s going to be people referring Senator Harris as Ka-mall-ah not Comma-la purely in jokey racist terms along with memes replacing her with the late Jim Harris. I know there’s been a lot of pro wrestling fans making jokes about Kamala and Kamala and I’m sure most of the time it’s in good fun, but the right wingers aren’t doing it in good fun.

Ugh, as a Pitt fan things like this from the All Carolina Conference makes me yearn for the days of the old Big East football/basketball mishmash.

Nah, that guy will blame it on Obama.

Am I too cynical in thinking the college football season will be cancelled more to squash players organizing than health concerns?

Most likely they needed to fill time, I don’t think they taped matches specifically for Prime Time until 88 or 89, so there could have been weeks were they were short on matches from the taped house shows.

Cornette and others have always made it seem that Harris was barely functional in the ring prior to the Kamala gimmick, he’s not that bad in the video above and here he is bumping for Big Daddy.

It was so important that Capt. Lou actually took a bump!

The Hogan-Sheiky Baby match was always meant to go short that’s why it was last. The main selling point of this card is the Piper & Ace vs. Snuka & Tonga Kid match, that angle was so hot that they were able to have Hogan against a weaker opponent so they could save a stronger challenger for a future card. That type of thing happened a lot during Backlund’s run, put the hot angle in the pre-intermission main event slot then have Backlund vs someone like George Steele go on last and end in a quick dominant fashion.

I just started watching that, she’s great in it.

She was but that show should have gotten way more nominations, I get that the show isn’t in the Emmy voters demographic but it deserved to be nominated over at least Stranger Things or The Crown.

Bad Education is a HBO movie with Hugh Jackman and Allison Janey, its based on a true story of Long Island school administrators embezzling money from their school district. It's good and worth the watch if you have HBO, Jackman is good in it and Janey is great as usual.

The lack of Better Call Saul and Euphoria nominations is surprising.

Wasn’t there also a point where Savage was asking for some crazy amount of money and wouldn’t negotiate so Vince basically gave up on him? Savage had FU money and could hold a grudge and Vince is Vince, why is anyone shocked they couldn’t work things out.

Did he try to slam Wilson or Brady into the ground after they threw the ball on the last play of a game that was out of reach? Garrett was pulling some bullshit on a backup QB that he would never even think about doing to the likes of Brady or Wilson.

Yep, if he did that to a legit starting QB the suspension would have been the rest of last season and all of this season.

Yep, it's Rhyno along with at the time Detroit area indie mainstays Terry Richards aka Skull Ganz & Gene Miller aka Hard Times Gene Austin, Miller also owned the ring most local indies used. I totally forgot they did tv from Cobo Arena which was in really bad shape at the time, like barely running water bad shape. Should we assume that Vince didn't find out about Apartheid until three years after Nelson Mandela was elected President of South Africa.

They should have had the helmet numbers white with gold trim to match the jersey numbers, the gold helmet numbers give me a Minnesota Gophers vibe.

Panthers is a totally generic name but that doesn't excuse a team from naming themselves something dumb and gimmicky like Kraken. One of the other names being tossed around was Sockeyes which is unique and a thousand times better than Kraken.

Not surprised that a league with teams named Wild, Avalanche, Golden Knights and Predators would go with the dumbest name possible.

Thanks for the heads up!

The New Pope was amazing and just like The Young Pope, Silvio Orlando steals the show.

I kind of wish Rivera was ballsy enough to push for the team to be named the Riverboaters, Gamblers or Riverboat Gamblers, just go all in with the gambling theme. Since he's a huge proponent of the military-football complex it's going to be the Warriors with a military theme or something out there like the Washington RAND Corps.

Space Force was like a NHL team who brings on some big name talent at the trade deadline to go along with the teams current big name talent, then get's bounced in 6 games in the 2nd round of the playoffs.
