    I'm already reading about bombings and now you want me to read about football rivalries, I mean I'm pretty numb to violence but that's asking a bit much 😄

    The (in)famous 90's zine Murder Can Be Fun actually did an in depth article on this in the "I Hate Sports" issue.

    I haven't the slightest what that is. Google is telling me a security operation? 

    I'm just digging into the history of this conflict so you have to forgive some ignorance on my part.

    It is the derisive name us Celtic supporters have for Rangers. They went bust due to financial improprieties in 2012 and was reformed with the LLC name of Sevco. Celtic= Irish Catholic, Rangers= Protestant Unionists, essentially the Irish Question playing itself out in Scotland. It is among the most violent and heated sporting rivalries on the planet. Google "Old Firm" for the whole story in more detail.

    Who would be a British Protestant heel in the fed? I mean in the E you got Wade Barrett right there. 

    EDIT: You even have Devitt who could be a hardline Northern Irish Protestant who hates the Papist horde to the south

    Drew MacIntyre supports THEM (aka SEVCO), so there you go...

    Syracuse/Purdue being a primetime game on a network is kinda hilarious too

     

    In fairness it's a rematch of one of the most batshit crazy games in living memory from last season.

  5. Here is a perfect symptom of what is wrong with AEW right now: One of the biggest reason ticket sales for Grand Slam are soft is because last year they decided to make it like one of those Jack Sabboth indy shows at the Elks Lodge that usually lasted longer than a test cricket match. The show ending at 1am left a very sour taste in people's mouths and I know lots of people who are going to pass on going this year because of that extremely negative experience. People in AEW have to know this so why hasn't Tony come out and told people that the show will end at around 11pm with half of Rampage taped at 7pm and the other half taped after Dynamite? They have really slipped badly when it comes to listening to their audience and giving them what they want.

    I hate that Victory Records shit so much. Bad "hardcore" (read: slow, poor groovy metal), spinkicks from the punching penguins, athletic print sweatshirts... the only thing good about it is the unintentional hilarity. Stuff like the singer from 25 Ta Life. 

    Bemasked Punk with his goons and bald (yet in true WWE style, implanted) Serena was indeed pretty good and I wish I watched more back then. 

    Fun fact: 25 Ta Life was the supporting act of the first show I ever went to: SOD at Tuxedo Junction in Danbury in July 1997.

    Also need to point out that the people who ran Victory were lowlife sleazy crooks who fucked over countless bands.

    To me what he said about Cabana and his mother was pretty garbage thing to say and he had no right to say that. Even if Cabana was at fault for their falling out, that was a despicable thing to say, and it was basically doxing of Cabana's mom. Did he even ever apologize for that? He had no right to say and it's also exposing private financial info.

    Colt's refusal to get involved in public poo flinging contests is something lots of people could learn from.

    anyways, announcing the firing during the first saturday of college football and a holiday weekend was some amazing timing... the people who really follow wrestling stuff were gonna hear about it no matter what, but for everybody else, well..

    Actually given they are going head to head with a WWE Pay Pe.... err.. Premium Live Event tonight the timing couldn't have been better. Now everyone is talking about Collision tonight.

    Sorry, best we can do is someone trolling on their instagram or YouTube show with the Justin Timberlake song. 

    The idea of punishing guys with awful gimmicks on air reminds me of Dave's observation about BATB 2000 that nobody was concerned with the fans and what they want to see.

    Looking at the PBP this morning, it sounds like EVIL vs. SANADA was the drizzling shits. 

    He has to win both most overrated and worst gimmick in the 2023 awards almost unanimously right?

    LOL, looks like Marty Scurll is doing a little tour of Manitoba. Can't believe he was in Winnipeg yesterday and I missed him. 🙄 He must have been pumped it was an all ages show.

    I've literally never heard of Primos wrestling (nor the collectibles shop that runs them), but it looks like they've been running in Winnipeg and in small towns in Manitoba for awhile.

    How to be a better villain by Marty Scurll:

    Lesson one: Commit statutory rape.
