Awesome
Once again, mad props to Gunther for making the Intercontinental Championship something worth winning for the first time since, what, the early 90's?
Cause if this was the IC title of just a few years ago, this moment wouldn't be nearly as big..."Hey, Sami's back with that belt that all the mid-carders play hot potato with. Oh well, better than the 24/7 Title, I guess..."

It's all a work man. Trips calls Ospreay lazy, Ospreay says Trips slept his way to the top, Punk buries AEW in an interview, AEW airs the All In footage, man they're working a new wrestling war to pop the ratings homies...

For a moment I wanted the DVD to end the match. But then he punched him in the fucking ear for the win and that was better.
And it looked fantastic live. Thatcher leaned into those punches like a motherfucker. Shades of Akira Hokuto-Shinobu Kandori.

Makabe also hit a DVD at one point, which was the only "pro wrestling move" in the match. Which I assume he did as a sly reference to DVDVR itself...if so, well played sir...

I was in Philly today and it was crawling with WWE tourists. Dudes walking around Chinatown with replica belts and shit.
Non-Philly fans probably don't get just how big Jason Kelce is in Philadelphia. Like if I had to make a Mt. Rushmore of the most beloved figures in modern Philadelphia sports history, it would probably be Kelce, Brian Dawkins, Allen Iverson, and Harry Kalas...

Apparently that guy has no idea who David Allan Coe is...

The fireball was right in front of me. It wasn't a great one, but then Krule dropped his original lighter during a corner fight spot (possibly right before the avalanche chokeslam), so I guess he had to use a back-up...

My cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing for 3+ hours straight. Also had a near-miss with the trash can during Demus/Connelly, so I guess I was somewhere near @The Comedian. It was the beer and blood section for the remainder of the show.
I was the guy in the navy blue hoodie. Were you the fellow to my right who was super enthusiastic for Colby' headlocks? If so, you had awesome energy and thanks for clearing the random refuse off my seat after the dog collar match...

Met Johnny, Nick, Pete, Ray, and Bix at Palermo's before the show. Lovely people.
Truly outstanding show. Was especially impressed by Krule and Warhorse, who had to follow an incredible Cerebro-Gringo Loco match and still tore the house down. Ending a Dean tribute with a Battlarts-style match was a thing of beauty. The floor in front of me was covered in Connelly and Demus' blood, and each man managed to graze me with the trash can they threw at each other...

I just sat down in Palermo. Navy blue hoodie, green Eagles t, short brown hair, goatee, 6'1" 270, not hard to spot ...

Also, I have an email with my ticket receipt but no actual ticket link or pdf. Hopefully, that’s enough to get in?

I just put all the finishing touches on my trip home for the show. Nothing left to do but be in vacation mind for the next week at work. One last thing, theres an Italian place 7 minutes away from the arena that looks awesome and they take reservations.
https://www.palermopizza.online/Let's pre show with pizza and calamari. If you're going and are down for a get together, I'll take care of making the reservation. As long as that doesn't cost anything. Ya never know...
I don't know about reservations and such, but if anyone wants to meet me at the California Tortilla in nearby Sicklerville for California Screamin' burritos before the show they're welcome...

The Jersey Mike's owner/founder/CEO/whatever he is really needs to leave the ads to Danny DeVito. Guy can barely spit out his lines...

Rewatched Road House and damit... it is the best low budget action major release of the 80s
(does Highlander count as low budget when you've paid Sean Connerey a cool $1 million, $250,000 to Sir Sean's "Spanish Dialect Coach"?)
There is literally nothing bad I can say about a movie whose last line of spoken dialogue is "A Polar Bear fell on me".

Ben Gazzara doesn't get enough credit for the gleeful chewing of scenery he does playing what's essentially an R-rated A-Team villain...

Tenebrae (1b) and Inferno (1a) are the best Argento films and I'm dying on that particular island.
Has it ever been explained why the movie about Mater Tenebrae is called Inferno, and then he made a movie called Tenebrae that has nothing to do with it?

It was a sad day when I broke my Zubaz glass.

Looking around and Kruk’s also a big Rhea Ripley guy
so the concept of Kruk being really into various women wrestlers made me realize that Kruk and Mick Foley would probably enjoy each others company.
Kruk was out of Philly before ECW really hit but I don’t know if I can imagine him getting into that, aside from my confidence that John Kruk would probably enjoy the Sandman
Most ECW guys would've been pretty comfortable in the '93 Phillies locker room. Dykstra probably did as much coke and pills as any of them. And they were so into Zubaz pants, local McDonald's literally ran a Phillies Zubaz glass promotion...

Has the recent surge of WWE success led to an influx of children infilrating online wrestling discussion? Is the continued practice of less moderation inviting negative actors to create abad takes -> more arguments -> more clicks reaching a saturation point? Does the wrestling I like suck now? Am I just terribly depressed?
Why does talking about wrestling on the internet suck more now that it ever has? This board doesn't even feel right. I just don't want to do it. I think of conversations worth starting, or matches worth sharing,, and then I consider the effort that it would take to post them *anywhere* and then I don't.
Hey bud if this is more than just an IWC thing always remember you're never alone and it's never as bad as it seems. If you need help dial 988 or text HOME to 741741.
Depression already sucks, don't let it swallow you too!

Spitting Image was a satirical British puppet show from the '80s. Mostly political satire. It's where the puppets in the aforementioned music video came from.
Might be better known in Canada than in the US; I don't know.
We had a similar show in the US called DC Follies, starring Fred Willard as the bartender at a DC bar frequented by several celebrity puppets, created by Sid & Marty Krofft.

We can’t discount the possibility that Cena knows that there’s more dirt yet to be uncovered, and that he’s just happy to have not been implicated yet.
Because, I mean, if Vince likes to share his women, do you really think Johnny Ace was his first and only choice of tag team partner? There’s every chance that he’s been doing this stuff for decades.
I'm starting to wonder about this too bud. I mean, the "staying in Vince's good graces just in case" excuse is gone. Vince is done. I don't care what he's gotten out of before; he's never faced anything this bad, at this age, while no longer being owner of the company. He's never coming back. So why not condemn him? OK, there's probably a few guys like Taker who legitimately consider Vince a close friend (not to mention the provider of their life of luxury) who feel they "owe it to him" to defend him. But how many people out there aren't willing to condemn him because they're afraid of the receipts on them that he's got?

Also take your pick on if Christian Slater doing a Jack Nicholson voice for an entire career is annoying or worthwhile.
FTFY.
Hey, he's made one more Gleaming the Cube than most of us...

Previously unreleased statement by Ashley Massaro to Vice News. It's hard to read knowing what happened to Ashley Massaro and taking her own life so here's a warning:
"During my time with the WWE, I had observed Vince McMahon making-out with other divas in the locker room, but he never paid attention to me, and I assumed I was not his type. This changed after my Playboy cover was released. I was fortunate enough to be allowed to fly on the company jet and stay at the same hotels as the executives for a period of time so that I could get home faster to spend more time with my daughter. On one of these occasions, Vince was attempting to get me alone with him in his hotel room late at night and I felt extraordinarily uncomfortable. He began calling the hotel room phone and my cell phone nonstop. I called Kevin Dunn to explain the situation and he said I should tell Vince I was not feeling well and would see him on TV the next day, so I did. Immediately after that night, Vince started writing my promos for me. Vince does not write promos for female wrestlers—that is the job of the creative department—and he certainly wouldn’t have, under any normal circumstances, written a promo for me. But he did, and the promos were written with the clear intention of ruining my career. I brought the first script Vince wrote for me to the WWE employee in charge of Creative at the time, Michael Hayes, and he said, ‘you’re not saying this, who the [expletive] wrote this?’ and I told him that Vince did. He said, ‘Well kid, these are the breaks,’ meaning that Vince wanted to end my career and destroy my reputation on my way out. He is known for this type of behavior and also did this to [REDACTED] upon her departure from WWE. In addition, after that night, each time I walk by him he would make vulgar sexual comments that were clearly designed to make me uncomfortable."
Kevin Dunn - not quite as bad as we thought?

I guess you're as tired of reading about Damon Albarn whining as I am. I mean, A. Blur was a one-hit wonder in the US, and B. didn't Gorillaz just do a hugely successful set at Coachella just last year? If you got two acts and only one of them is popular in a locale, stick to that one when you play there...
