  1. The crowd seemed to be pretty hot/warm for being a crowd in a market with a lot of people who don’t speak English, so they did a pretty solid job with Quebec City than they did with places like suburban Salt Lake City
  2. watching the "Two of Hearts" music video and noticing one of Stacey Q's outfits is the yellow polka dots on black outfit that Dusty would get in the WWF a few years later https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfBdGT4dn4E impressive restraint by the WWF/WWE to employ a good chunk of the Hart family and not have some of them teamed up as "Two of Harts" (okay, Vince likely doesn't know who Stacey Q is)
  3. and the Chiefs are signing Welsh Rugby star Louis Rees-Zammit to play RB/WR (or, play in kick returns if he sticks)
  4. Things I remember from this week's edition of AEW Dynamite: Missed last week due to Royals Spring Training on TV. Ospreay/Shibata looked fun, Bucks/Private Party too, the women's match had Willow bulldozing people a few times, I didn't realize Mone's shirt was open and not a design for a moment, Main event was fun also we got Dustin on TV. The Butcher on TV. Dustin is facing the Butcher. The other tag match was also fun and I'm sure Bucks/Friends should be pretty solid.
  5. what if Ernest Miller was around in the early 1980s and he could bounce from territory to territory and he didn't necessarily have to do much in the ring (at least on TV)
  6. A Steve Williams/Steve Blackman match where the loser has to change their hairstyle would be a fun way to spend 4 minutes on a 1999 Raw
  7. Well best use in the category that doesn’t involve wiping out diseases in parts of the third world?
  8. So is the GI Jane gimmick an indirect reference to Jada Pinkett Smith (and why Chris Rock got slapped) or has she had that gimmick for awhile? Her look is sort of a Grace Jones look which would be a little too out of the wheelhouse of a WOW.
  9. Hulk Hogan doesn't like Brutus' wife For some reason, I think Missy Leslie looking sorta like Linda Hogan didn't help her case. As weird as that could sound.
  10. meanwhile B. Brian Blair looks like he's trying to steal John Waters' look with the facial hair and outfit and I sense Brutus' story about the steroid trial is a bit exaggerated (also, out of sequence)
  11. okay, I missed the part of this episode where Brutus' wife mentions reconnecting with Brutus after many years.. meanwhile, young blond Ed Leslie looks like a someone trying to steal Michael Hayes look without having all the other stuff
  12. watching a WOW episode on Vice because I wanna see the 10 minutes of the Brutus episode that I missed not sure if Tiki and Chamorro are really from the same island.. some of these camera angles make it look like the ring is shaped like a rectangle. Edit: Vickie Lynn McCoy with some stellar main event commentary as Penelope Pink eats offense for awhile before hitting her finish and beating GI Jane.
  13. I missed the first 9-10 minutes of the Brutus episode. I might not have entirely paid attention to the detail about his face being crushed. You gotta admit, they did one hell of a job on his face. To the point that his face is holding up better than his current wife's face.
  14. Things I Remember From Summerslam 1990: It's a Tuesday. Spring Training is almost over. I didn't feel like watching more baseball with real baseball in 2 days. Dark Side is tonight and I decided to watch the pinnacle of John Tenta instead of the pinnacle of Brutus Beefcake (Starrcade 1994?). Also it's a card i've never seen. Oh man, this is when they start putting Vince on PPVs. I know Jesse had just been fired. We kick off with Power and Glory kicking the shit out of Marty Jannetty for a bit as Shawn Michaels is hurt on the outside. Goodness the Powerplex ruled. Bobby Heenan with a good unintentional shoot commit about Kerry Von Erich's head being in the clouds. Texas Tornado (or as Vince said a few times "Kerry Von Erich") didn't work like someone with just one foot. If you didn't know, you might not be able to tell. That finishing combo of the Claw and then the Tornado Punch looked neat. Curt Hennig was made to take a finish like the Tornado Punch. Also love Hennig just falling to the floor during the Kerry celebration. Sherri was wearing a Psicosis mask. Makes me consider the idea of 1990s Sherri managing Luchadors and taking dives from the tecnicos. Sherri wins by forfeit because Sapphire has disappeared (more on that later) Good luck getting any productive help from Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Dusty. Didn't really pay much attention to Warlord vs Tito Santana. As also sorta busy during Harts/Demolition. But the was chaos with 3 Demolition members. Then the LOD showed up. Also it was 2 out of 3 falls which was a WWF quirk that they did a few times. It was probably a really good match that I should have paid more attention to. The finish was a bit of the "shove someone over your buddy" finish. There's an intermission on this show? in 1990? Bad News is afraid of snakes. It's only sorta racist since they booked all Jake opponents to be suddenly afraid of snakes. Bossman is the guest referee. There's a DQ. Bad News almost legdrops a snake. Okay. Sgt. Slaughter isn't quite a traitor yet. Duggan and Volkoff win in a few minutes. They namedrop Kate Smith like this is a Yankees game. Before Dusty faces Randy Savage, it turns out that Ted DiBiase bought a black woman (Sapphire). Then Dusty loses in a few minutes after getting hit by a purse. Then Ted/Sapphire drive off as Dusty chases the car. And we never see Sapphire again, except in Memphis. Sherri's makeup made it look like she was performing in CATS on the side. Hogan vs Quake was fun. Gotta love a big fat guy who decides "i'm gonna stomp on my opponents fingers". Also, Hulk Hogan ripping Earl Hebner's shirt, which is a weird move for a face. You'd think Ric Flair was watching this and wondering "why didn't I rip Tommy Young's shirt off" (Ric would want Tommy to rip Ric's pants off). Screwjob-a-riffic finish. Quake is slammed on a table but not through it. His back looked gnarly post match. Not sure if I went around the horn to blow off this feud. Hot crowd for the occasion. We have to eat up some time to set up the cage. Dusty has a good vintage-ish Dusty promo. More promos from various people to kill time. Okay, that's a bad overdub for Rude's music. Didn't they use this music for years. Would think that they could have had Rude come out to do his schtick while they set the cage up to have a little less down-time. Warrior shaking the cage like a moron doing a structural soundness test. Starting at the top of the cage is one thing this Rude/Warrior match has in common with Mankind/Undertaker HIAC. Warrior jumping directly into the cage feels like something the Warrior would have done. I think Rude might be able to fit most of his leg through the gaps in this cage. Kinda feels like a political powerplay for Hogan to give the Warrior the main event but also make it seem anticlimatic compared to Hogan's match. An axehandle off the top of the cage feels like a good way to fuck up your knees/ankles. They did the Von Erich/Flair cage door slam spot as a throwaway spot in this match. Speaking of Flair, here's Rick Rude's bare ass. Would have been a funny finish if Rude just escaped the cage as Warrior was beating up Heenan. Warrior taunting Rude with a hip swivel before dropping to the floor. Well, that's a finish. This is also the event that brings about the end of Rude in the WWF as a competitor Maybe there was more going on at Starrcade 1994? edit: forgot to mention the whole "Bossman is working twice because Tugboat mysteriously got unbooked from the main event" thing
