The flaming barbed wire board is what started Tremont on fire. He was rolling around flaming right before the finish.

He's the best babyface because it is all the truth.?

I was at that show. I don't remember 1 and 2. From where I was sitting, I wasn't even sure who was doing the run in. That was the last ROH show that I went to. I went to a bunch of TV at the ECW Arena on comps, saw a few shows with Japanese guest wrestlers. I always watched the TV when possible. I currently watch the "Classics" show on Fight Network. But it still kind of sucks that I might never see them again. Is the place with the final PPV the FKA Baltimore Arena? Every place has become "Some Corporate Name Arena". It is hard to keep up.

AEW has something for everyone, but that last half hour was certainly not for me.

The mentality of continuing on and finishing a match after injury never made sense to me. I think that it would uphold kayfabe by selling any injury and loosing quickly would make wrestling seem more dangerous and real.

5 deaths nationwide yesterday.

Hustle, Hustle, Hustle.

I used to go to the occasional Puerto Rican wrestling show in New Jersey. Easy cheap heat was calling them Cubans for waving the Puerto Rican flag (the two flags are similar). Once in a while there is an evil foreign menace and Mexicans and Puerto Ricans become latino amigos to fight against evil.

New York doesn't really care about college sports. I just checked today's NY Post newspaper that I read today. 1/6th of 1 page about college in a 24 page sports section. Saturday might have 2 pages about gambling on college.

Beware of the NY State Athletic Commission banning blood, weapons, and brawling in the crowd for GCW. They hassle the lucha shows that run in the city. And what if somehow the required ambulance arrives an hour or two late? I'll still go if I can get a nice balcony seat. I'm too old and my knees and back are shot. Can't deal with floor seats and all the American fans standing up in front of me.

It aired on MLW youtube and some other service that I don't get on Wednesday (the day before Vice). However Bein Sports (that I get) shows it on Saturday. It makes sense to half of the audience and baffles the other half. Even more indie??

The yakuza money laundering always seemed under reported to me. They sponsored shows not so much to force people to buy tickets, it was more to claim a 4000 ticket sell out for a crowd of 500 to get all of that money into a legit account.

Ricky Fuji gave me a thank you on Facebook for complementing him for still having rock n' roll hair on his 56th birthday this week.

I haven't seen Weekly Fight in years. Is this some online revival?

Rumi's classic hair match. I was lucky enough to meet her at a few of the OGs snacks/bars. She had big charisma in person. I was happy to buy her drinks. This one makes me especially sad. She's younger than me. My health is going downhill too.

Victor Quinones had a real life rep for that. I went out for dinner and drinks with him in Japan once. The conversation led to the fact that he wasn't smuggling drugs or guns or anything bad like that. He was making extra money by bringing underwear and coffee into Japan.

Trenton Thunder minor league baseball stadium. (Actually FKA as Trenton Thunder, Trenton lost the team this year with the takeover of the minor leagues by MLB, Buffalo AAA team moved in this year because MLB Toronto took over the Buffalo stadium because of border crossing restrictions). They sell pork roll sandwiches at the concession stands!

Tony Angelo was a manager in late 60's WWWF.

I'll take Yujiro over YOSHI-HASHI, Taichi, and Owens. Although it would be better without the four of them. As far as worst in NJPW, Tiger Mask is still around.

Sounded like Girls on Pills to me. Would always sing along saying that.

Looks like Karrion Kross wants to go there as Tool in the above post.

Show World ha ha! learned about that when the PATH was on strike. I had to bus to Port Authority and walk from there to Penn Station to get from Hoboken to Rahway.

20 minute promos to start the show and main events that start with 9 minutes left in the show are things that caused me to stop watching Monday night wrestling 20years ago. I hope that this was a one time thing.

They should have gotten at least 3 episodes from what came before the Battle Riot main event at the ECW Arena.

It was hot and crowded when the ring broke. I went home (or to the bar or hotel, I'm not sure) and didn't see it. ECW started to become like the Yogi Berra saying, no one goes there anymore because its too crowded. I went to went to the Philly Sports Bar shows, the first TV taping at Cabrini College, and the first show at the Arena. Tod Gordon stopped my friends from tearing the sign on the outside of the ECW Arena down to take home. The sign had the date of the show on it, so we thought it was OK to take it. Todd said that they could change the date for the future. We all apologized to him. One of our group did some indy wrestling as Jersey Hurricane. He was actually the first person to bring a frying pan from the dollar store to ECW.
