Eric Kulas went with Mass Transit when Big Bus Man was right there
Let's all say it together:
GODDAMMIT ZENDRAGON!!!!
I promise you there is an obese dude working a death match fed who is more than willing to be a human blood bank for that concept. Just give Darby a shiv made out of a piece of wood and a scalpel blade and tell him to yell "HE'S GONNA DIE!"

"Internet shopping" is what I do now and it's at (drumroll please)... Walmart. People just call in their orders now so our job is to pick 'em for them. I manage to park right up front most every day. That's not to say we don't get plenty of inside traffic, it's Walmart, but ours is actually the biggest department in the entire store. Just because people don't want to come in and push a cart.

I'll let someone else make a Deadhead joke

It sucks. Audio has been an achilles heel with them forever. And somehow Collision and Rampage sounded fine.

I put Dynamite on mute and frankly there was nothing on there to make me take it off, especially considering you couldn't hear anything anyone was saying due to the crap audio anyway. You'd think they'd have remembered how to mic the damn place after all that experience. But yeah. I had to split by the time the Mox/Hobbs injury match started up and I don't think I want to return to that. Collision will be duly watched however.

Wrestling Most Definitely Not From The Now -- as Ray the Crippler Stevens and Nick Bockwinkel face off against Red Bastien and Billy Robinson in a fast and loose TV match for the AWA tag titles. Watch Bastien drop and hit his head on every rope, and teeter-totter Nick into elbows from Billy on the apron. They must've really wanted to put some butts in seats to put this on free television back then.

Shit, I was a strip club DJ for seven years. I didn't wear daisy dukes and a half tee, though. If that had been the uniform I'd have looked like Meanie by year four.
How did you survive listening to stripper tunes for seven years?

Deep Wound were, along with Siege and the Neos, pretty influential in the speed-stakes of the early '80s. Weird considering Dinosaur (Jr.) came after them.
God I love Bulldozer. All Big Black, really. And I'm happy that Albini grew up from his button-pushing days and admitted it.

At that time, if there was even a hint of a trickle of blood coming out of a nose, you had *two moves* to end the match.

Stevie was too skinny. I mean Raven was Scotty the Body, he got the name for a reason.

I don’t disagree with @Matt D, but I give Mortos a break since this was really his first featured singles match on tv. He should be able to bust out some fancy stuff for that. Hell, he hasn’t even broken out the top rope press slam on AEW tv, yet has he?
Gotta keep something for later, right? The leg-twist spinny thingy he did on ROH, he do that last night? (I missed Collision)

I was thinking Rocky lurking in the background as a giant face or something.

I would totally buy it if he did it just so he could say "I got hit by a bus and I survived" in a promo
-
I'm just gonna take my prize in the Halen-off and walk off from this one, boys.

It does have me wondering, did they delay/ cancel Kris Statlander turning heel on Willow because they needed her to be the other babyface voice in this feud? Or are they going to set up Willow vs Kris as a face vs face match, where she admits to having felt jealousy, but says that seeing how devastating Trent's actions have been, she's NOT going to go down the same path?
Maybe she is that rarest bird in wrestling: an actual kayfabe friend that's not gonna turn on you.

Just hearing him talk is immensely entertaining. He's a crack-up on the Forever Hardcore doc. I don't listen to podcasts, but I'm sure his is fun.
Speaking of which, I remember him saying he was a producer for Vince! I mean that's another notch there too. (He would call the office, say he's at the venue; call the venue and say he was at the office; and go back to sleep haha)

A couple more things now I'm back from work
Death SS is a legendary Italian band whos guitar player Paul Chain cut his eye out in a Satanic ritual (!!!), turned into a Jehovah's Witness (?!?!) after, and formed his own group Paul Chain Violet Theater and later a musical container system for his works in doom metal, hard rock, experimental noise, etc. Vocalist Steve Sylvester, however, continued with the Death SS name forever and a day and is still making crappy albums 40 years later. The Story of Death SS album and The Cursed Singles and Paul's early stuff is where you need to go, simply incredible, the heaviest vibe ever and totally morbid. Later on he did some really good doom rock too, had Lee Dorrian from Cathedral sing some stuff, Wino on guitars, etc. He also sings in his own phonetic language! Strange, strange stuff.
Naked Raygun became stalwarts that solidified the Chicago punk sound, which is actually very Misfits with a lot of "whoa-oh-oh"s and melody. Basement Screams is a bit of an odd-man-out to start. I like it just fine. Sax!
The SSD EP is being re-released 40 years later. "At long last", as they say. Their LP before this (a perfect hardcore album) went for $1000 a pop or something like that and it just got the re-release as well.
Los Lobos had a hit with their cover of "La Bamba" for the movie about Richie Valens and I actually saw the video on MTV2 late last night, and have seen them play it live on TV too, and shit yeah they would be awesome live. Cool as all get out. Rock and Roll!
"Kill Yr. Idols" itself, the song off the EP, is my fave SY song actually

I missed pretty much all of Collision but that was a HELL of a Rampage. "Let's take it to the parking lot!" by Tony cracked me up, so they took it to the parking lot... oh did they ever. The wrench spot at the end was probably super safe but looked nasty and everything prior was the good stuff. Rosa looks to have her mojo back and, as they knew was the only way, they're turning Deonna into the heel. Then there was a perfect TV main event. The dancing along to the elbows in the corner has to be a gif.

Raven being on The Sandman episode makes me wonder if there's enough juiciness for a Raven episode.
Raven just being alive is enough, probably. He went everywhere. His drug use was immense. Controversial as hell. As the ECW guy next season he'd do just fine.

I guess my comments here are
1. YDI are legitimately scary and make me feel like Gai ( who of course I also love) do to you
2. Evil Metal deserves at least a bootleg. The tracks not being on the LP version of The Story of Death SS is a big miss.

They quoted (HA!) Raven on the Dark Side Facebook page.
So, he's gonna be on the Sandman ep this Tuesday.
This is gonna fuckin' rule.
